After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Wait... Qingyu...

Lin Bufan paused in his movements.

"Teacher, don't you think this girl looks somewhat similar to Qingyu?"

"Really?"

The old man with the ring spoke with suspicion, after all, the aura he sensed was completely different from yours before.

"You don't understand!"

Lin Bufan shook his head. He had spent many wonderful nights with you and knew your body all too well.

You noticed his suspicious look, but ignored it; getting all the benefits was the priority right now.

【"Whoosh~"】

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy attacked from behind.

[You were prepared. With a thought, the light from your black feather skirt shimmered, and your defenses activated instantly, easily blocking the attack.]

"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

You looked at Lin Bufan with hostility.

There aren't many storage bags left in the area.

[You estimated that there are about two hundred late-stage Qi Refining cultivators participating in this secret realm, and nearly two-thirds of them are gathered here.]

The system's storage space already contains nearly one hundred bags, with only a few remaining.

If you're planning to leave, at least leave some soup for them.

But before that...

"Oops, oops."

Lin Bufan chuckled and waved his hand, but in his mind, he once again communicated with the old man with the ring.

"Teacher, how is it?"

"Qi Refinement Level 4, confirmed to be a Hehuan Sect technique."

After saying that, the old man added:

"At the mid-stage of Qi Refining, she lacks divine sense. Since you have doubts, I can simply examine her appearance directly."

As he spoke, a powerful surge of divine consciousness approached you.

[If you hadn't consumed the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, you naturally wouldn't be able to sense it. Of course, with your current divine sense, you can't stop the other party from spying on you at all.]

【but...】

The next moment, the blood jade in your hand shone brightly, and your eyes flickered with a dim, shimmering light.

"If you continue to spy on us, then we will all perish!"

The old man with the ring was startled. Who knew this female cultivator had actually awakened her divine sense at the mid-stage of Qi Refining? She must have consumed some kind of rare and precious herb. He should have been more discreet...

Lin Bufan felt a sudden chill run down his spine; he was facing the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator directly!

"Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

He rubbed his hands together, looking pained, and said:

"You took most of the storage bags here. How about you take the rest and we call it even?"

【"Need not."】

You shook your head.

"The rest is all yours."

[A hint of mockery flickered in your eyes as Lin Bufan looked on with delight.]

"I only need the storage bag from the person at the bottom of the lake."

His smile froze, and he opened his mouth, but Feng Yuan was holding a top-tier flying sword; it was clear he was incredibly wealthy.

But looking at the blood-red jade emanating a terrifying aura before you, I still nodded from the bottom of my heart.

A hint of a smile appeared in your eyes as you leaped into the lake.

A moment later, you dragged a figure out of the lake, retrieved the storage bag, and threw it towards the shore.

[You winked playfully at Shang Lin Bufan's admiring gaze.]

"Hehehe~ Little brother who did a good deed, I look forward to seeing you again next time~"

"You just wait, I'll make you pay for this sooner or later!"

He abruptly turned his face away, suppressing his emotions, unable to bear looking at your wet, clinging body, your alluring figure under the moonlight, and growled through gritted teeth.

"Hehe~ I'm really looking forward to it~"

Your figure gradually disappeared into the mist, leaving only a string of clear, bell-like laughter lingering in the night.

Lin Bufan curled his lip, put away the remaining storage bags, and quickly fled the scene of the crime.

Thus, another strange case was added to the Tianxuan Sword Sect's list.

However, since no one was injured and none of their natal flying swords were lost, the sect disdained to investigate. The victims were even publicly ridiculed by the elders, suffering a double loss.

[There are two sides to the story.]

After leaving the central lake, you took the map to the secret realm and headed straight for the place where sword intent was passed down without looking back.

[You have changed back into your original attire, and your cultivation technique has been successfully converted.]

[As for the harvest, I haven't had time to examine it closely yet, but Feng Yuan's storage bag contained thousands of spirit stones, including several mid-grade spirit stones.]

That kid must be a second-generation cultivator!

You didn't go all the way; you didn't take any of their swords, leaving them the means to make a comeback.

[Sigh~ It's not that I'm afraid of things getting out of hand, it's just that she's too beautiful and kind-hearted.]

Thinking this, the outline of a massive building began to appear faintly in the distance.

It is said that Qingfeng Valley is a fragment of an ancient sword sect's training ground, and the place with the most concentrated sword intent within it is the Sword Testing Stone before us.

A towering stone tablet stands in the center of the plain, its surface crisscrossed with sword marks, still bearing the remnants of countless sword intents.

At this moment, many figures were already seated around the stone tablet. Although their arrival caused some commotion, no one approached them to strike up a conversation.

This is all because the Peak Master has explicitly stipulated that no one is allowed to make a move near the Sword Testing Stone.

Otherwise, if someone records it with a recording stone, the consequences range from being sent to the Sword Prison to having one's cultivation abolished and being expelled from the sect.

[You've only been in the secret realm for a day and a half now, and you plan to spend the rest of your time here comprehending sword intent.]

You found a spot beside the stone tablet, sat cross-legged, and slowly extended your divine sense, gently touching the surface of the tablet.

The scene before them changed abruptly the next moment!

A fierce slash came crashing down on you, the aura of death pressing in like a tidal wave.

Your heart jolted, and you hastily dodged, but before you could catch your breath, a second strike was already upon your face.

[Then came the third, the fourth...]

Damn it! There's no escaping it now!

[But after being struck several times, you find yourself unharmed, realizing that everything before you is an illusion, a way for the stone tablet to help sword cultivators comprehend sword intent.]

You no longer waste your energy dodging, but instead face the aura of death and the incoming sword light head-on.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

[Under the constant pressure of death and the relentless assault of various sword intents, your already unparalleled swordsmanship has unexpectedly developed a sharpness unlike anything you've ever seen before.]

【Buzz~】

[Having faced death once again, you instinctively draw your palm as a sword and swung it with your bare hand.]

[Silent and still, only a sliver of blue light flashed by, and the illusion shattered instantly.]

【Clang!】

You look up and find that everything has returned to normal, with only a faint new mark remaining on the stone tablet in front of you.

This means you have successfully entered the first realm of swordsmanship, the nascent stage of sword intent.

[From then on, the power of the sword techniques greatly increased, and they could even be imbued with a faint mental force to intimidate opponents.]

"Congratulations, Qingyu."

[Lin Bufan's voice suddenly rang in your ears. You skillfully pretended to have just noticed, and as you turned around, your initial excited smile from the breakthrough was tinged with surprise.]

"Brother Lin, you're here!"

Seeing your bright and pure smile, Lin Bufan's doubts vanished by more than half.

How could his Qingyu possibly be a demoness from the Hehuan Sect?
