The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

With a single strike, a massive crack appeared out of thin air within the Cauldron of All Things.

The crack stretched out from under Shen Yifei's feet, spanning several mountain peaks and extending for hundreds of feet.

Shen Yifei quickly sheathed his sword, but the sword's momentum continued, still extending forward!

Even Shen Yifei hadn't expected that this sword strike would be so powerful!

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from inside the Cauldron of All Things, and the huge crack that Shen Yifei had just cleaved began to gradually heal!

Xinghe stared at the crack that stretched across the sky, about to utter a sigh, but then she saw it disappear. Her little mouth opened, and after a long pause, she managed to squeeze out, "Brother, it...it can heal itself?"

The "it" that Xinghe is talking about is, of course, the Cauldron of All Things!

Shen Yifei stood there, stunned, watching the crack that stretched across the heavens and earth slowly close under the nourishment of the spiritual energy inside the cauldron, as if it had never existed.

He let out a long breath, sheathed his longsword, feeling both relieved and somewhat empty inside.

I've mastered the Guixu Sword Technique, but I don't know if the power of this sword strike will be enough to deal with that old monster, Di Yuan!

The night is dark.

Shen Yifei returned to Hongxiu's residence. When Hongxiu saw Shen Yifei enter, her face flushed slightly. "Young Master, you've been practicing swordsmanship for several days. You must be tired?"

Shen Yifei walked over and sat down next to her. "Don't be tired. I'll help you digest that pill tonight."

Hongxiu lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, I've been waiting for you for many days..."

After saying that, she took out the pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it. Her throat moved slightly as she swallowed, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Yifei.

Shen Yifei couldn't stand it and pulled her into his arms: "The pill is strong, let me help you regulate it."

Hongxiu chuckled and said softly, "Young Master, you must be gentle."

The two were very familiar with the route and did not adhere to any formalities.

The medicinal power of the pills in Hongxiu's body was churning wildly in her meridians, so Shen Yifei used the power of the Five Elements to help her regulate it, stroking it inch by inch from her dantian to the top of her head.

Under the influence of the medicine, Hongxiu's Xuanpin bloodline gurgled out hot steam, which Shen Yifei caught drop by drop.

The two of them lingered until the moon was high in the sky. Hongxiu was so weak that she could barely speak. However, with the help of a pill and the effects of dual cultivation, she successfully broke through to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Shen Yifei, however, was full of energy, feeling as if the little vortex in his dantian was still hungry.

He knew in his heart that the pill was too potent, and Hongxiu couldn't digest it all, so the rest would all benefit him.

Before Hongxiu fell asleep, she whispered in his ear, "Young Master... if you... if you still have the strength, go find Mengli... she's been talking about you a lot these past few days..."

Shen Yifei had originally wanted to sleep peacefully with Hongxiu by his side, but after hearing what she said, he felt as if he had been scratched by a cat's claw.

That little devil Liu Mengli has become increasingly temperamental since she awakened the memories of the Reincarnation Demon God. If we leave her out for too long, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause in the Cauldron of All Things.

He thought for a moment, and after Hongxiu fell asleep, he tiptoed out the door and headed straight for Liu Mengli's residence.

Liu Mengli's residence was filled with pink gauze curtains, and two red candles were lit on the table, making the room look pink and charming.

When Shen Yifei pushed the door open, Liu Mengli was lying on her side on the bed, supporting her head with one hand and examining a pill over and over with the other.

Seeing him enter, her peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, her voice carrying three parts languidness, three parts coquettishness, and four parts seduction: "Oh, Master, after being busy for several days, you finally remembered me?"

Shen Yifei plopped down on the edge of the bed: "Why haven't you taken the pills yet? Are you waiting for me to feed them to you?"

Liu Mengli shoved the pills into his hand: "Isn't it because I'm waiting for you to feed me?"

Shen Yifei looked down at Liu Mengli's beautiful face, his heart warmed, and he put the pill into her mouth: "Open your mouth."

Liu Mengli held the pill in her mouth, but deliberately used the tip of her tongue to gently roll it around on his fingertip. In that instant, half of Shen Yifei's body went numb.

After swallowing the pill, a blush rose on Liu Mengli's face, and her eyes became even more watery.

She let out a soft groan, her whole body going limp like water: "Master... this pill is so potent... my stomach feels so hot..."

"It's hot, that's good." Shen Yifei reached out and touched her lower abdomen, channeling a wisp of Five Elements power into it. "I'll help you disperse the medicinal effects. Be a good girl and focus on your cultivation, don't move around."

Liu Mengli was not about to obediently use her internal energy. She snuggled into Shen Yifei's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Master, I'm going to move. If you're so capable, then hold me down."

Shen Yifei was driven to desperation by this little vixen, so he had no choice but to hold her waist with one hand and channel the power of the five elements into her with the other, refining the medicinal power for her while also keeping an eye on her restless hands.

"Master, why does your Five Elements power feel so much purer than it did a few days ago?" Liu Mengli squinted, feeling the power flowing through her meridians. "Did Sister Hongxiu feed you something good again?"

Shen Yifei tightened his grip on her waist. "That's because you've mastered the Guixu Sword Technique, and your internal energy has improved as well."

"Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, and internal energy is internal energy. How can you mix them up?" Liu Mengli didn't believe her. "You must have gone to Hongxiu's place first."

Shen Yifei had no choice but to acquiesce!

"Master, you have to give me more nourishment tonight, my little seedling is almost dying of thirst."

After saying that, Liu Mengli's hands started to wander again.

The latter half of the night passed in this entanglement of half-hearted resistance and half-hearted acceptance.

Nourished by the Golden Essence Pill, Liu Mengli's power of reincarnation became even more refined. A faint mark of reincarnation appeared on her forehead, only to disappear in an instant.

"Master, I feel... I think I can use that move now." Liu Mengli mumbled with her eyes closed in his arms.

Which move?

Liu Mengli opened her peach blossom eyes, golden light swirling within them, her voice tinged with smugness: "The Samsara Seal can briefly rewind a few breaths. For example... if you unleash a sword strike and feel it's not good, I can deflect it back three breaths, allowing you to strike again."

Shen Yifei was taken aback at first, then overjoyed: "Doesn't that mean that in the future, when I fight someone, I can regret my move after I've made it? If I miss with my sword, I can just deflect it back and start over?"

"That's roughly the idea, but there are limitations. Each time I use the Samsara Seal, it consumes a lot of my spiritual power. In my current state, I can only use it twice a day at most; any more than that and I can't keep going. Moreover, the time I can rewind is very short, at most three to five breaths; any more than that and I can't go on."

"Three or five breaths are enough." Shen Yifei chuckled excitedly. "When masters clash, a single breath can determine life or death. If you use this move well, it will be my second life."

"Master, look, aren't you becoming more and more dependent on me?"

"Hmm, Mengli, tell me, how many untapped treasures do you possess?"

"Master, there's still so much more! Try exploring it a few more times tonight, and you might discover some unexpected surprises..."

"Haha... then let's continue..."

The next morning, Shen Yifei emerged from the Myriad Things Cauldron feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He had just sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, preparing to meditate, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and inexplicably got goosebumps all over his body.

He turned around and saw a person standing in the yard.

A young man.
