After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"It's alright." Yunyi clenched her hands, which were resting on her knees. She wanted to say a few more words to the girl in front of her, after all, she was one of the few girls besides her master who was worth talking to. But... she was too shy to speak.

In the end, the two could only stare at each other.

"Oh, right—" Shi Yan finally couldn't help but speak first. The two looked up almost at the same time, their eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

She waited quietly for Shi Yan to speak.

"How long have I been asleep?" Shi Yan glanced at his ankle.

The ankle that was grabbed by the ghostly figure is still somewhat bruised.

Perhaps the dream had a deep influence, because when Shi Yan lowered his head, he always saw the image of the girl prostrating herself, raising her golden eyes and trying her best to smile at him.

Two days.

Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Two days.

In addition, the commotion caused by Shadow Demon Lord was quite significant.

Xiaxia must be so anxious.

Shi Yan hurriedly got up.

“Hey…” Yunyi also got up nervously.

"Then I'll head back to the Shi family home first," Shi Yan said, looking for his clothes.

Yunyi hurriedly ran out in small steps, then handed the washed and dried clothes to Shiyan.

A faint, delicate fragrance lingered on her clothes.

Yun Yifu helped Shi Yan change his clothes. Their eyes met, and Shi Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Miss... is still not awake." Yunyi wanted to persuade Shiyan to stay a little longer.

"My sister is still at home." Shi Yan smiled wryly. "Oh, right... Yunyi."

"Mmm," the girl responded softly.

"Has anyone from the Shi family come looking for me these past two days, or perhaps a girl named Shi Xia has come looking for me?"

Yunyi shook her head. "Miss Shi Xia is incredibly beautiful. If she comes out looking for you, I will know."

Shi Yan frowned slightly, sensing something amiss.

Something's not right.

It's understandable that the Shi family didn't come looking for him, but Xiaxia not coming to find him means something must have happened.

She was slightly angry.

In a daze, Yunyi seemed to see countless swords crookedly stuck in the wilderness behind Shiyan, stretching as far as the eye could see.

After packing his things, Shi Yan lowered his head, and the girl obediently knelt in front of him, tying his belt for him.

To be honest... the way that cool-toned girl served others in such a sweet and obedient manner was quite touching.

But at this moment, Shi Yan's heart was filled with worry, and his mind was full of Xia Xia's affairs.

She watched as Yunyi got up, and was about to leave when the girl called her back.

"Yunyi?"

The girl's black hair trembled slightly by her ears. "By the way... is Miss Shi about to break through to the Qi Refining Realm?"

He didn't hide anything from Master Yunyi, or rather, there was no way to hide it.

The other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator who killed the avatar of the Spirit Realm demon soul and saved him and Hua Xiangrong; he was on the same level as Wen Ruya.

and many more...

Shi Yan then realized the subtle abnormality.

The Yunyi in the game is not at the Nascent Soul stage.

In the game... girls should be at the Golden Core stage.

Is it perhaps a butterfly effect triggered by various reasons?

We can't say that the "realm" field can be filled in randomly.

But it's alright.

Yunyi, a Golden Core cultivator, couldn't save herself and Hua Xiangrong; she could only offer another life.

"Ah."

"Then... is the Qi-Inducing Pill ready?" Yunyi asked softly.

Shi Yan nodded.

"What about the 'introduction'?"

Shi Yan's expression immediately turned bitter.

If it weren't for that "trigger," he wouldn't have been captured by the Shadow Demon Lord.

Yunyi immediately understood.

She raised her right hand, and ripples spread out in front of her as if they were ripples. A huge saber tooth, almost larger than Shi Yan's body, fell into her hand and was lightly lifted by Yun Yi and handed to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan almost collapsed to the ground when he took it.

Okay... it's heavy.

"this..."

"Miss Shi... let's use this as a starting point." Yunyi turned her head away from Shi Yan, her gaze falling on Hua Xiangrong, whose snoring had long since stopped.

The young girl gently bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth.

Shi Yan's lips twitched violently. What is this... what is this?!

She could feel the surging, fierce energy emanating from the saber-toothed creature in her arms.

Shi Yan looked down at the black and white striped fur covering the room and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Part 44 You want to die? [First update]

How fast can one break through from the Body Tempering Realm to the Qi Refining Realm?

For a peerless genius like Ming Zhongqing... it only takes an hour or two to achieve harmony between man and nature, and to draw qi back and forth in a cycle.

Reaching the Qi Refining Realm marks the true beginning of one's journey into the immortal realm.

From now on, there will be no need to rely solely on the body's bloodline to absorb spiritual energy, as is the case in the Body Tempering Realm.

The speed of spiritual energy recovery is greatly improved.

Although there are also unparalleled masters who use martial arts to carry the Dao, once they comprehend the Dao, they are already halfway to immortality.

But... that path is not suitable for the vast majority of people.

Grasping the saber in his arms, Shi Yan took a deep breath.

She took a small medicine bottle out of her bosom.

Returning to the Shi family to find Xiaxia is very important, but... after experiencing the Shadow Demon Lord incident, Shi Yan has become even more aware of the importance of strength.

The difference in status between the Body Tempering Realm and the Qi Refining Realm is like heaven and earth.

Although their destructive power is not yet clearly distinguishable, the former is ultimately just a "mortal," while the latter is already an "immortal."

Even if... he is just a cultivator.

Holding the saber tooth in his arms, Shi Yan took out the "Qi-Inducing Pill" and swallowed it in one gulp.

What is the most important factor that determines the speed at which one can break through to the Qi Refining Realm?

Attain utmost emptiness, and hold fast to stillness?

Or is it a "catalyst" for elixirs?

No...it's actually natural talent.

That's just how realistic this world is.

He closed his eyes, and the Qi-guiding pill in his mouth had already transformed into a wisp of spiritual energy.

At the same time, Yunyi, who was kneeling in front of Shiyan, reached out and gently pressed her hand on the sword tooth.

A wisp of malevolent energy was transferred from Yunyi to Shiyan, merging with the wisp of spiritual energy that was rising and falling in Shiyan's heart.

moment--

As the teacher spoke, a solemn and clear sound seemed to rise in his ears, followed by a terrifying tiger's roar that echoed through the mountains and forests.

Shi Yan felt as if he had been enlightened, and everything became clear to him.

The spiritual energy rose and fell, spreading throughout the entire body.

Then it begins to operate slowly, eventually forming a cycle.

Kneeling before Shi Yan, Yunyi's expression was complex.

Too fast...too fast.

In the blink of an eye, the girl in front of him had already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.

This speed...this talent...it can no longer be described as mere prodigy.

Even Yunyi would only be described as—

"Kexa".

"monster".

After storing the saber tooth in his storage ring, Shi Yan gestured with his right hand to bring up the character attribute panel.
