After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The method of burning...Dance of Fine Snow felt strangely familiar.

It was as if... she had seen it before.

A long, long time ago... there was someone who burned like that.

Holding myself, facing...facing...

The Snow Dance's eyes were unfocused, and her pupils reflected a glazed mask with jagged ice corners.

Someone held her hand and said, "This concubine..."

"I am willing to burn everything for the Lord."

"This life and the next".

"Afterlife."

Even if forgotten, even if erased...

"concubine..."

"We will surely fulfill the Lord's mission."

And now... Dance of Fine Snow reached out and carefully touched the blue flame that was almost extinguished.

That person's last breath... was about to be burned away.

All for the sake of wielding that one sword.

From this day forward, there will only be Sheng Nu in the world.

certainly--

Fine Snow Dance lowered her head and looked at the girl.

If she survives.

"Shengnu?"

"Sheng Nu!!!" He held the girl's soft yet icy body tightly in his arms.

The master didn't understand either.

Sheng Nu was clearly just a 'minor Body Tempering Realm' cultivator who didn't even have a spiritual root and hadn't even embarked on the path of cultivation, so why did he have such great power?

Even the embers were so cold that it felt like even his internal energy cultivation was about to stop.

There seem to be many, many more side quests in the game that I didn't notice or explore in depth.

Shi Yan hugged Sheng Nu tightly, as if trying to warm the girl's body with his own body heat.

She whispered in Sheng Nu's ear, "Hang in there..."

"Wait a moment..."

"Sheng Nu will be alright."

"Sheng Nu is already very, very good."

"So... can Sheng Nu be even better?" She looked at the girl in her arms with her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she might close them at any moment.

The teacher said to take a deep breath.

Without thinking twice, Shi Yan bent down and hugged the girl's head tightly.

[Snow Cold Technique] Accelerates against the biting cold.

"Ugh..." Sheng Nu's hands, which had been hanging limply, unconsciously twitched in the air before finally clenching tightly.

Those eyes, which had faded from their original clear blue to their original black, were misty with tears. Like a helpless little rabbit, it glanced at the girl's eyes, which were so close to its own, and finally could only force itself to close them.

The spiritual energy belonging to Shi Yan recklessly invaded the girl's meridians, repeatedly marking them with Shi Yan's mark.

"Snow Cold Technique" is originally a technique that excels at restoring and feeding spiritual energy back into the body.

Furthermore, the master's words of fortune, such as "romantic beauty," "natural charm," and "exquisite talent," further enhance the fortune.

Sheng Nu, who had little resistance to Shi Yan to begin with, almost instantly succumbed to her charms.

She could only cling to Shi Yan's shoulders, experiencing a sensation she had never felt before—

Spiritual energy... surging spiritual energy circulates within the body.

Initially, Shi Yan planned to deal with the matters in the "Tai Xu Secret Realm" and then make a proper plan before doing this.

After all... in the past, although he had helped other girls extend their lives and increase their cultivation levels, whether actively or passively.

But... they all have some basic knowledge, more or less.

It wouldn't be to the point that the spiritual energy in the meridians would be completely suppressed by Shi Yan and completely transformed into Shi Yan's shape.

But Sheng Nu was different.

She was born without any spiritual roots, and couldn't even cultivate her Qi Sea.

If Shi Yan rashly forces her to improve her cultivation, then Sheng Nu's future path might be completely blocked.

Originally, Shi Yan intended to do what he did when he deliberately bullied Qin Suhuai.

Three parts hidden sword, seven parts snow cold.

He drastically modified the Hidden Sword Technique, turning it into the Snow Cold Skill, so that Sheng Nu's innate foundation would default to the shape of the Hidden Sword Technique.

The Hidden Sword Technique, one of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect's most treasured internal techniques, can be used even up to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

But now... Shi Yan can only use the [Snow Cold Skill] to pave the way for the girl's future.

First, use the Snow Cold Technique to forcefully seize all the beautiful colors burning within the girl's body.

Even the embers alone made Shi Yan feel chilled to the bone.

It's easy to imagine how much damage this magnificent color would cause to Sheng Nu's body, which had no cultivation whatsoever.

Then--

Then, infuse the spiritual energy of the [Snow Cold Technique] into the girl's body.

As my teacher once said.

If Sheng Nu is unable to condense her Qi Sea, then I will become her Qi Sea.

If Sheng Nu doesn't have a spiritual root, then I will become her spiritual root.

The master's words practically opened a new path within Sheng Nu's body.

He used his spiritual power to start afresh for Sheng Nu.

Almost no one in this world, except for Shi Yan, could do such a thing.

Treat your own spiritual power as the source of others' energy.

There are strict requirements for both the practitioner and the recipient.

The spellcaster's spiritual power must possess a certain characteristic that allows them to accept all things or be accepted by all things.

The recipient of the procedure must unconditionally and sincerely trust the practitioner.

One wrong step could lead to one's demise.

Even if the procedure is completed.

Because spiritual energy originates from the same source, one's hard-earned cultivation could be turned into someone else's wedding dress simply because of another's single thought.

Sheng Nu, of course, trusted Shi Yan unconditionally.

She simply clung to Shi Yan's shoulders, shrinking tighter and tighter.

Shi Yan tasted a sweet flavor reminiscent of grapefruit, slightly sour and bitter, yet with a lingering aftertaste.

With a gentle bite on his tongue, the teacher focused all his energy on opening up the girl's dantian (energy center).

Playing away from home is much more troublesome than playing on home soil.

Fortunately, my teacher is very experienced.

If she could still see the girl's attribute panel, she would probably already see... a snow-white lotus flower has lit up on Sheng Nu's cultivation method.

【Snow Cold Skill (Revised) - Level 1】

Because it is essentially a direct copy of the mental cultivation method from the master's words, it has also been imbued with rather subtle characteristics.

For example... it would be particularly suitable for assisting Shi Yan in cultivation.

With the powerful healing abilities of the Snow Cold Technique and the blessing of Master Yan's Creation Body, Sheng Nu's originally pale face gradually regained its color, and even her delicate lips gained a touch of brilliance.

Neither Shi Yan nor Xi Xue Zhi Wu noticed.

The magnificent blue that was about to burn out seemed to be revitalized after being captured by Shi Yan using the [Snow Cold Technique], flowing back into Sheng Nu's body.

Sheng Nu's body, which had finally broken through to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, was now swirling with a slightly blue Qi Sea, almost exactly the same as the Snow Cold Technique circulating within Shi Yan's body.

Within that cyclone, which resembled a sea of ​​stars, there seemed to be countless bright blue specks twinkling like stars.

Shi Yan touched his masterpiece with satisfaction, but just then...

Click, click—

The cracking sound of ice is so loud it makes your teeth ache.

It's as if even the Pure Color Mandala couldn't stand these two flaunting their love anymore.

A terrifying aura pressed down directly from the sky.

Shi Yan pulled out a portion of the spiritual energy that was wrapped around the girl's body, while the rest of the spiritual energy remained there forever.

His shoulders trembled repeatedly.

Shi Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Sheng Nu curled up in Shi Yan's arms, her timid appearance evoking pity.

The teacher then began to assess his current state.

My current condition is even worse than when I fought against the Pure Color Mandala.

The spiritual energy is only about 60%.

The good news is... with the blessing of the [Snow Cold Technique], my spiritual energy recovered very quickly.
