Chu Tianyao walked up to Li Tingting and slowly squatted down.

He said softly, "Senior...it's time for you to go."

Then, a flash of sword light appeared...

Blood blossomed from Li Tingting's throat...

She was killed by a single sword to the throat.

Li Tingting, the eleventh elder of the Yan Yang Sect, died just like that.

Chu Tianyao turned to look at Qi Mengdie.

The other person couldn't help but tremble all over...

Chu Tianyao shook his head slightly. "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"Qi Mengdie, I gave you two chances... once when we first met, and once when I put you back with Li Tingting."

"You didn't cherish it yourself, so you have no reason to complain on your journey to the underworld..."

After saying that, Chu Tianyao pointed his finger in mid-air, and Qi Mengdie's body shattered with a bang, leaving no trace of her corpse.

In this desolate suburb, Chu Tianyao was left all alone once again.

He found a wooden stake and sat down.

"It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that I can't be soft-hearted when dealing with enemies."

"Qi Mengdie and I have a blood feud, and this grudge cannot be resolved... Li Tingting is even more misogynistic, and since I have feelings for her... she will definitely hold a grudge and seek revenge."

"Things like developing feelings for someone over time... or making an enemy fall in love with you, only happen in melodramatic novels."

"I, Chu Tianyao, do not believe such a thing could happen, therefore neither of these two should be allowed to live..."

"If we don't kill them, there will be endless trouble in the future."

Just then, the system's voice came again.

"Boom! Detected that the host killed Li Tingting, a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm. The target meets the conditions for proving the Dao through killing. Dao Derivation Points will be calculated."

"Boom! According to the statistics... the number of Dao Points obtained this time is [number] points."

"Boom! We currently have enough Dao Derivation Points to advance our cultivation level. These points will automatically convert into cultivation realm points..."

"Current realm is Golden Core Level 5! (Each Golden Core realm advancement requires one Dao Evolution Point.) Remaining Dao Evolution Points: 4670."

Chu Tianyao felt his strength rise again, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Li Tingting doesn't have much on her, only 400,000 crystals left... Let's go back to Rainbow Tower first."

"To avoid causing a sensation, I'd better use the Concealing Pearl to hide my strength at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."

And so, Chu Tianyao returned to the Rainbow Tower.

Upon seeing Chu Tianyao, Qin Hongjin asked with concern, "Young Master Chu, has everything been resolved?"

"Hmm... Miss Qin... Here are the three times the amount of crystals I promised you, please take them."

As they spoke, Chu Tianyao took out a crystal ticket worth 300,000 crystal stones and handed it to Qin Hongjin.

Qin Hongjin said with some surprise, "Young Master Chu, you are really capable... You actually managed to get 300,000 crystals in just one afternoon."

Chu Tianyao chuckled lightly, "What I promised Miss Qin, I must always do."

After joking and laughing for a while, Chu Tianyao returned to his room.

He sat down on the bed and issued instructions to the system.

"System, please take a look at my current data panel."

"Boom! Here is the host's attribute panel."

Name: Chu Tianyao

Age: 21

Realm: Golden Core Stage 5

Constitution: Yin-Yang Chaotic Body

"Techniques: Yin Yang Evolution Heaven Technique, Six Styles of Wind Slash, Cloud Mist, Overlord's Barrier, Heaven-Shaking Fist."

"Items: Crystal beads, small storage bag, battle armor, plum-patterned armor, and a concealing bead (used to conceal one's aura of power)."

"Dao Evolution Points: 4670 (Dao Evolution Points are required to advance one level in the Golden Core realm)."

"Boom! The host's current realm is the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm... According to the flow of energy in the Yin Yang Derivation Heaven Technique, you can obtain 500 Derivation Dao Points every day."

Chu Tianyao nodded silently. "The daily Dao Transformation Points have increased from fifty to five hundred. This is the biggest surprise..."

"This is equivalent to gaining ten times more Dao Points by simply lying down... If nothing unexpected happens, I can advance to a higher realm in just over a month!"

"A lot happened this afternoon...and my cultivation level soared..."

"But this is not without its risks... If one uses the recycling of materials to rapidly improve their cultivation level, there is a possibility that their foundation will become unstable."

"The path of cultivation requires a steady and solid foundation, and I will take advantage of this time to strengthen my foundation."

"I have 100,000 crystals left. I won't exchange them for supplies for now. I'll keep them on me for emergencies."

"I still have a few Qi Refining Pills in my pocket. I'll give them to Tang Nairou and Su Yumin... so they can step into the threshold of cultivation as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, these two women are too weak... Putting aside the potential dangers they might encounter, they will turn into nothing but bones a hundred years from now..."

Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao wrote down some incantations for the transition from the Innate to the Qi Refining stage based on his own experience.

With his current strength at the Golden Core Realm, such a mantra is something he can recite effortlessly.

In the evening, Chu Tianyao first went to Su Yumin's bedroom.

He greeted her with a smile, "Good evening, Sister Su."

Su Yumin was overjoyed to see Chu Tianyao arrive.

In the past two weeks, Chu Tianyao has rarely come to see her... She inevitably feels empty inside.

Su Yumin said angrily, "Hmph, so you still know how to come over."

Chu Tianyao chuckled and hugged Su Yumin in his arms. "Sister Su, don't be angry. I was just focusing on my cultivation."

After saying that, he took out a few pills from his pocket. "These are Qi Condensation Pills, which can help Sister Su quickly advance to the peak of the Innate Realm."
