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

[This cultivation world is not without body-refining techniques, but there are no longer any cultivators who solely pursue the path of body refinement.]

[Firstly, there is a lack of proper transmission of the cultivation method.]

Secondly, body refinement is a time-consuming and resource-intensive path, yet often yields minimal results, far less rapid than the progress made by Qi cultivation.

Furthermore, the practice of Qi cultivation itself can naturally temper the body, making it inevitable that body-refining cultivators will gradually be phased out by the times.

The body-refining technique that Lin Bufan gave him was of an extremely high level; it should be one of the old man's most treasured possessions. It's a mystery how he managed to trick him into giving it to him.

Based on your experience, this is probably intended for a certain female lead.

Its full name is—"The True Scripture of Refining Form from the Mysterious Pivot of the Taiyin".

[It is divided into three major realms: Wangshu, Guanghan, and Taiyin, which are further subdivided into nine minor realms.]

[Upon reaching the ninth level of the Return to Truth Realm, one's physical body becomes nearly immortal; a drop of blood can preserve one's divine consciousness. If one were to perish by chance, one could even entrust a wisp of one's soul to the moonlight, awaiting an opportunity for rebirth.]

Most importantly, aside from the breakthrough stage, daily cultivation of this technique requires no resources; moonlight is its only sustenance, but the time required is extremely long.

This cultivation technique might be utterly useless to other cultivators, but for you, it's no less than a peerless divine skill!

You readily took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Bufan. It contained the exact location of the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, as well as information on some opponents to be wary of within the secret realm.

[Feng Yuan's information was prominently featured...]

After reading the jade slip, Lin Bufan felt a warmth in his heart: Senior Sister cares about me.

Seeing his smug expression, you looked at him with a slightly strange expression: Could this kid have fallen in love again?

A third of a second later, you felt relieved. If you like someone, so be it, as long as it's not in reality.

"Junior brother, if you don't set off soon, you might have to travel to the secret realm alone."

Seeing that he was still wallowing in self-pity, you kindly offered a word of advice.

"Senior sister, are you really not coming with me? I still have one more spot available."

Seeing him looking at you pitifully like an abandoned puppy, you remembered the treasure you had just acquired, so you got up, put your arms around his neck, and said softly:

"Your senior sister has some things to take care of. She'll reward you properly when she gets back."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan's eyes lit up. After kissing your red lips a few more times, he reluctantly turned and left.

You breathed a sigh of relief, stored the three treasures in your system space, and were about to change your clothes and head to Cloud Palace City when you heard hurried footsteps.

Looking up, you see Feng Yuan staring at you with a gloomy expression.

"Senior Brother Feng, what's wrong?"

You had your suspicions, but you still looked at him with your usual bright smile.

"You...you and him..."

Just as he was about to question you, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the conspicuous red mark beneath your clothes.

[Feng Yuan was struck dumb, and hurriedly took a few steps back.]

Oh wow!

You knew you couldn't hide it anymore, but you weren't prepared to explain anything. Neither Lin Bufan nor Feng Yuan confirmed any specific relationship with you.

He seemed to have realized this as well, and wanted to lash out, but didn't know where to begin.

Looking at your flawless face, my anger subsided somewhat.

[It was just lust at first sight; there's no need for this!]

Feng Yuan tried to comfort himself, but then staggered, turned to leave, and stopped before stepping out of the cave.

"Junior sister, I'll show you who's truly superior!"

You sighed and rubbed your forehead, ultimately refraining from uttering any truly hurtful words.

After all...we might need it in the future...

"Little Fan, you've taken so much advantage of your senior sister, it's not unreasonable for you to deal with some of the trouble, is it?"

[You quickly forgot about it; you're a chosen one, you're bound to survive.]

【...】

Yunque City is located south of the Tianxuan Sword Sect.

Although still within the Wanren Mountain Range, it's tens of thousands of miles away. At your current cultivation level, traveling there will still take considerable time.

Furthermore, the mountain range is rife with poisonous creatures and demonic beasts, making it difficult for Qi Refining cultivators to traverse alone.

The sect has naturally taken this into account, therefore disciples have two options when leaving the sect: flying beasts or teleportation arrays.

[It's a pity that Ling Shuanghua chose to go into seclusion after obtaining the Enlightenment Pill yesterday; otherwise, she could have had a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a bodyguard, which would have saved her a lot of trouble.]

Holding the personal disciple token, you arrived at the teleportation array without any hindrance.

The person guarding the teleportation array was an elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator. Upon seeing the token in your hand, a forced smile appeared on his previously expressionless face.

"Where do I need to be teleported to?"

Today you are dressed in a simple white outfit underneath a loose white robe, which completely conceals your increasingly alluring and seductive figure.

Her face was covered by a plain white cloth, which, while concealing her stunningly beautiful features, could not hide the aloof and ethereal aura that had been cultivated through years of sword practice; instead, it added a touch of mysterious elegance.

"Uncle-Master, I want to go to Cloud Palace City."

Your eyes held a smile, your voice was soft and gentle, without a trace of arrogance.

[She calls Ling Shuanghua "Senior Sister" because of her status and personal preference; however, she still needs to maintain a respectful attitude towards other Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's smile became more genuine, and his attitude towards you softened.

"With the Disciple's Token, you can use the teleportation array once a year for free. The teleportation location is inside Cloud Palace City, so you can go there without worry."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

After bowing respectfully, you stepped into the teleportation array.

The next moment, a white light enveloped you, and you completely vanished from the spot.

【Buzz~】

A buzzing sound filled your ears, and when you regained your senses, you found yourself standing in an unfamiliar stone chamber. The teleportation array beneath your feet was the same as before.

[Perhaps because your spiritual sense is much stronger than before, you didn't experience any discomfort during this teleportation.]

"Fellow Daoist, please move to the outside of the teleportation array."

Just as you were lost in thought, the man in black standing at the entrance stared at you expressionlessly.

You remained silent, exiting the teleportation array, though the personal disciple's token at your waist inadvertently peeked out as you moved.

"Senior sister, please wait a moment."

The man in black, who had previously maintained a serious expression, now wore a warm smile.

"What is it?"

Your brow furrowed slightly, and your expression showed displeasure.

"Senior Sister, I am a disciple of the Li family of Yunque City. May I ask what brings you here? Perhaps the Li family can offer some assistance."

The atmosphere shifted subtly, and seeing your displeasure, the man in black quickly revealed his purpose.

This is also the way of life for the families within Cloud Palace City. After all, the owner of this giant city is still the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect, and befriending the sect's geniuses is always beneficial.

Moreover, behind every personal disciple is at least a Golden Core stage elder!

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, let alone someone who isn't even a powerful dragon. Right now, acting under the protection of a direct disciple will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, your tone softened somewhat.

"I've come here to attend the auction. I wonder if your Li family can procure any tickets?"

The man in black's eyes lit up; this was the easiest task to establish a connection with, so he quickly nodded and gestured with one hand in invitation.

"Senior sister, please come to the Li family's residence for a chat."
