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

"Is there anything else, senior?"

Liu Guanzhi's gaze fell on the girl in front of him, but his feet were slowly retreating.

"No need to be nervous, I just want to make a deal with you."

Lin Qingyu gently stroked the black dumpling in her arms, her tone somewhat nonchalant.

"What kind of deal?"

The middle-aged man in front of her looked wary, which made Lin Qingyu extremely happy, but she didn't show it on her face. She still had that inscrutable and indifferent look.

"Accompany me to the Miao people and help me obtain the Taixu Ningling Gu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

He naturally knew about the Taixu Ningling Gu. This Gu was an auxiliary Gu that helped Golden Core cultivators at the peak compress their spiritual power, and it was similar to the Nine Revolutions Returning Spirit Gu.

He was naturally somewhat envious of this kind of Gu worm.

After all, Liu Guanzhi is almost finished with his Foundation Establishment journey. If he can obtain this kind of Gu worm, his future path to Golden Core will be much smoother.

However, he did not show any interest; instead, he looked troubled.

"Senior, my cultivation is weak, and I am no match for the Miao family, one of the four major clans. I am afraid I cannot be of any help."

After saying that, he placed his fingertips on the storage ring again.

This kid is really cautious!

Lin Qingyu took in all of the other person's actions, but she didn't believe a single word he said.

After all, Liu Guanzhi had personally told her about the Taixu Ningling Gu and its effects during the simulation, and even had a very detailed plan to steal it.

If she hadn't known so little about Gu insects and been afraid of making a mistake when collecting them, she wouldn't have bothered working with such a cunning and calculating person.

Constantly being on guard and calculating is exhausting.

Just like now, when he says he's powerless, it's nothing more than an attempt to get some benefits from her or to test her resolve.

Old Liu, oh Old Liu, I know you too well.

But this is the real world, and she would never take out anything that is important or would expose her identity.

After much thought, Lin Qingyu's gaze finally settled on the jade talisman within the space.

It was the Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman given to me by Xiao Fanzi.

With her current cultivation level, she can travel a thousand miles in just a few breaths. This talisman is outdated, but for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is undoubtedly a life-saving treasure.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu's fingertips twitched slightly, and a jade talisman slowly appeared in her palm.

"This is a Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman. I will give it to you as long as you agree to my request."

A look of disbelief appeared in Liu Guanzhi's eyes. This Nascent Soul cultivator was the stingiest person he had ever met in his past and present lives.

His lips twitched slightly, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and for a moment he didn't know how to begin.

"cough!"

Lin Qingyu coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

When it came to making sacrifices, she subconsciously ignored her identity as a reborn person and treated her as a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Sigh, they're not so easy to fool.

"Of course, this item only represents my attitude. After the matter is completed, I will give you another two million spirit crystals."

two millions.

Liu Guanzhi fell into deep thought.

This amount isn't much, but for him right now, it's a huge sum of money.

Most importantly, having a Nascent Soul cultivator accompany him will greatly increase the success rate of his plan.

"If there are any extra Gu worms, I'd like one too."

"Can."

Lin Qingyu agreed without hesitation.

The Taixu Ningling Gu is a growth-type Gu worm that increases its spiritual energy compression efficiency as it is continuously fed by the cultivator's spiritual energy. However, each cultivator can only nurture one Gu worm.

"Senior must also swear an oath that he will not go back on his word afterward."

Liu Guanzhi was extremely cautious.

He was indeed at a great disadvantage when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator whose true nature was completely unknown.

But such a golden opportunity should not be missed.

"You must also swear an oath."

Lin Qingyu looked at him with a calm expression, her eyes full of distrust.

"...good."

Liu Guanzhi's expression froze for a moment before he nodded in agreement.

He never expected that a Nascent Soul cultivator would be so wary of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; it was truly an eye-opener for him.

"Then let's begin together."

"I, Jiang Wanqing, hereby swear..."

"I, Chang Sanyang, hereby swear..."

Their words were full of sincerity, but their writing was full of clichés.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the sky, proving the vow was true.

The oath of Heaven is not based on the name; as long as it is made sincerely, it will be locked onto the soul of the person making the oath.

However, their oaths contained many loopholes, so it all comes down to who breaks the rules first.

After the oath was made, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lin Qingyu tapped on the stone wall, her tone impatient:

"What are you standing there for? Quickly activate the teleportation array! Do you want to be hunted down by a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Liu Guanzhi: "..."

Unbeknownst to the two, shortly after their teleportation, a black stream of light emerged from Gu Yuan's shattered bones and slowly flew out of the secret realm...

......

This time, Lin Qingyu was not in a hurry to travel.

Throughout her cultivation journey, she has not dared to waste a single moment in the simulation, taking each step with great urgency, fearing that even a slight delay would lead to utter ruin.

But now, feeling the terrifying power lurking within her that could lift mountains and chase the moon, Lin Qingyu's anxious heart has calmed down considerably.

The path to Nascent Soul is just around the corner, and lifespan is more than sufficient.

Nearly eleven years have passed since I traveled from the time I arrived.

She also gained the confidence to protect herself.

Although he had not forgotten everything from his past life, it was as if he were looking at flowers through a fog, becoming increasingly unreal.

Is time travel a dream, or a dream that recalls the past?

A rare look of confusion flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes. Why did she want to live a carefree and immortal life in the first place?

"Waaaaah~"

Suddenly, I felt a slight tugging at the collar of my clothes.

Looking down, she saw Xiao Hei tugging at the hem of her clothes, its round eyes filled with worry as it gazed at her.

Lin Qingyu reached out and gently stroked Xiao Hei's back, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.

Hmm...it feels so warm inside.

Life may be a futile journey, and only when those on the road can discover the beauty of the scenery along the way can they give it meaning.

The same applies to spiritual practice.

If you can find your own inspiration during this journey, then it will be the most wonderful trip.

Immortality and freedom were Lin Qingyu's final wish, but she shouldn't be trapped by this goal, otherwise she would have gone against it from the very beginning.

Liu Guanzhi, who was walking ahead, stopped and looked at the girl who had suddenly stopped in place, his eyes filled with a mixture of inquiry and surprise.

Although he didn't know what had happened to this mysterious girl in that short time, he could sense that she seemed... even more terrifying.

Lin Qingyu slowly opened her eyes, feeling a sense of relief throughout her body.

When she met the gaze of the middle-aged man in front of her, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Let's see what the fees are."

"..."

Liu Guanzhi withdrew his gaze, realizing he was definitely overthinking things...

...
