Chapter 23 023 Besides me, how many other people have you read?

Xiao Mei exclaimed excitedly, "The system has started the recovery progress bar!"

Suddenly, lines of text flashed through Jiang Yan's mind.

The coverage rate of Dongfang Chenkang is 34%.

Shen Yuchen's health status is 32%.

Lin Yunkang's coverage rate is 38%.

Gongsun Jin Kang Fudu, zero.

Feng Qingyu, Zero.

Jiang Yan asked in confusion, "Gongsun Jin clearly took my pills just like the others, so why is his recovery value zero?"

Xiaomei: "I'm not sure about that either, let's wait and see."

"Um."

With this progress bar, she can also have a basic understanding of their situation.

Xiao Mei continued, "Once the recovery value reaches over 80%, the contract should be broken. Please keep up the good work, host!"

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a requirement of 100%.

Victory is just around the corner!

"By the way, host, you're about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as well."

Jiang Yan tried to channel her energy, and her internal strength did indeed increase. In fact, she had felt it after her battle with Shen Miaoyin yesterday.

Xiao Mei continued, "After the upgrade, the effects of the pills you refine will be even stronger, so they can transform into human form as soon as possible. After reaching the Golden Core stage, you will have officially entered the path of cultivation, and your lifespan can be increased to five hundred years. Once the spiritual power in your body is stable, you can fly on a sword."

"Great!"

It felt like a scene from an old fantasy drama, about to come true. As for lifespan, she wasn't interested; the beauty of life wasn't about its length.

"You are currently missing a peerless sword. The Xuanjian Sect is a major sect of sword cultivators, and the swords they forge are all top-notch. If you could acquire one, it would also benefit your cultivation."

"It just so happens that the Xuanjian Sect is on the same line as the upcoming sect competition and the Demon Emperor's Palace. Why don't we head south?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Okay!"

This is also a good opportunity to take a good look at the scenery of this world of cultivation.

When Jiang Yan told everyone the news, Shen Yuchen was the happiest of all.

While she was taking a nap, he happened to receive a letter from the sect. In the letter, his master said that he missed him very much and asked him to return to the sect for a chat.

Since binding himself to a Daoist partner after the great battle, he has not contacted his fellow disciples in the sect. A few days ago, during his trip to Wushan, the Xuanjian Sect did not participate in the competition, so he did not run into them.

It would be best if he could go back, as he also wanted to ask his master if there was a way to transform into human form.

After reading the letter, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Perfect, then we'll set off for the Xuanjian Sect first thing tomorrow morning."

The moment she put the letter down, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if there was a faint, eerie aura floating in the air.

Dongfang Chen and Feng Qingyu also noticed it, and both of them frowned slightly.

That evening, Jiang Yan took another nice bath. When she came out, she saw several mosaics squatting at the door.

The little fox hopped lightly to her feet, its tiny paws softly tugging at the hem of her skirt. Its bright, watery fox eyes looked at her, and it said in a coquettish tone, "A bath~ okay? The fox wants a bath~"

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly and looked at the other few blobs of mosaic: "Are you here for a bath too?"

The mosaics all nodded in unison, and Ling Yue, her rabbit-like face flushed, said, "I want to seduce..."

Jiang Yan smiled. Who could resist such an adorable pet?

She laid out warm water, flower petals, essential oil, and a sachet: "Who wants to go first?"

Lin Yun, who was standing nearby, suddenly dove into the water: "Me!"

He quickly created countless splashes in the water, soaking Jiang Yan's face.

She looked helplessly at the bluish-green mosaic in the water, and a voice suddenly rang in her mind.

Lin Yunkang's coverage +1: 39 percent.

Wow, the progress bar that hadn't moved all day is actually moving now?

Does taking a bath help them recover faster? Well...

Jiang Yan turned around and looked at the white and black mosaics under the ancient tree not far away, and an idea flashed through her mind.

After the remaining few were soaked, Jiang Yan came to the ancient tree and looked at the white mosaic.

"Shen Yuchen, why don't you give it a try too?"

Shen Yuchen shook her head awkwardly and said, "No..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan grabbed his slender leg and lifted him up, carrying him toward the bathtub.

"Hey! Let go, let go..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan threw him into the wooden tub.

With a "plop," countless water droplets instantly splashed up.

Shen Yuchen flapped her wings, about to jump out, when Jiang Yan grabbed her wings.

She squinted, her smile carrying a hint of ingratiation: "Don't be shy, I'll wash you up in a bit~"

Shen Yuchen struggled for a moment.

Jiang Yan grabbed its wings and forcefully pressed the white sparrow into the water: "Don't move, or I'll pluck all its feathers! I'll pluck them bald!"

Shen Yuchen: "!!!"

He soon felt the medicinal properties in the water seeping into his body, and a wonderful sensation spread throughout him, making him gradually forget to struggle.

Jiang Yan gently combed his fur, asking, "How is it?"

Her hand was pinching his... armpit.

This made him afraid to move.

Shen Yuchen stood in the water like a wooden statue, replying somewhat awkwardly, "It's... alright."

A line of text suddenly flashed through Jiang Yan's mind: Shen Yuchen's health status is 33%.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and became even more excited as she massaged the white sparrow in the water.

"Little sparrow, little sparrow, be a good girl, you have to come for a bath every day from now on~"

Hearing her gentle yet excited tone, Shen Yuchen inexplicably shuddered. He had a feeling she wanted to clean him up and stew him...

Startled, he flapped his wings and flew out of the water.

Jiang Yan quickly arrived at the side of the large black dragon, which was the most difficult to talk to.

But it was so big that she couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

Jiang Yan leaned closer to the dark, pixelated face, her expression obsequious, and said, "Big Flood Dragon~"

Dongfang Chen frowned in disgust; she looked just like those traffickers from the Demon Palace who kidnapped little black dragons...

He couldn't take it anymore and said, "Get to the point!"

Jiang Yan chuckled: "Can you shrink a little?"

Dongfang Chen glanced at the immobilization talisman she was holding between her fingers.

He sighed inwardly, then with a "whoosh," he darted into the wooden barrel like lightning.

Jiang Yan reacted and said excitedly, "I knew our Great Flood Dragon was the most sensible~ As expected of the wise and mighty Demon Lord! Look at that figure, those scales! Tsk tsk~ One of a kind!"

She then began to massage him very attentively, saying, "How is it? Tell me if there's anything you're not satisfied with, and I'll improve it immediately!"

"You have to come for a bath properly from now on~"

This is the most disobedient ancestor ever; we must make him comfortable!

Dongfang Chen had already sensed the changes brought about by the medicinal effects in the water and roughly understood Jiang Yan's intentions.

Listening to the flattering words she whispered in his ear, he couldn't help but frown and think that if this were in the Demon Palace, he would have killed such a sycophant and thrown her to feed the fish long ago.

But now, for some reason, I feel rather relaxed and happy.

Lin Yun looked at the woman with a fawning expression, and his body swelled with anger. Why was she never so gentle when she gave him a bath?!

Shen Yuchen frowned. She seemed to have said the same thing to him just now... She thought... Never mind, in her eyes, they were all the same.

After Dongfang Chen finished soaking, Jiang Yan opened the system and checked it. Sure enough, it had increased by one percentage point, to thirty-five percent!

As soon as she turned around, she heard 'Gongsun Jin' standing behind her say, 'It's my turn.'

Are you sure you want me to make it for you?

Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow slightly: "Dare not?"

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. Was this unpredictable little immortal trying to tease her again?

She must fight back today!

"What do I have to be afraid of?"

Did she waste all those years scrolling through TikTok?

Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Go back inside!"

Jiang Yan followed behind, muttering, "Men, they're all the same when they take their clothes off..."

The person in front of her stopped abruptly, and Jiang Yan bumped into his back without warning. She instinctively covered her forehead, "Ouch~"

Gongsun Jin turned to look at her, and asked casually, "Besides me, how many others have you seen?"

Jiang Yan paused for a moment, then smiled with narrowed eyes: "I don't remember."

"Oh?" The man nodded, then turned and continued walking into the room.

Jiang Yan followed closely behind.

Not far away, Ling Yue, Xiao Bai, and Lin Yun were filled with mixed emotions.

Lin Yun's snake body twisted into a pretzel; it seems he must transform into human form as soon as possible!
