At this moment, Li Sisui actually felt that the nickname "Scarface" wasn't bad, at least most of the outsiders would recognize him.

On the eve of the new year, Li Sisui also indulged himself and got drunk, neglecting his usual cultivation practice.

When Li Sisui woke up again, it was already evening of the next day. He had a splitting headache and his stomach was churning, which tormented him greatly.

Drowning one's sorrows in alcohol only makes them worse. Li Sisui was not a heavy drinker, but a series of recent events left him with unspeakable suffering and nowhere to confide in. So he could only drink one cup after another, swallowing them down alone to cope.

After more than four months of cultivation, Li Sisui's cultivation level finally returned to the level before he fell into a coma, reaching the initial stage of the Harmony Realm.

But Li Sisui showed no excitement whatsoever. He raised his hand and touched his left cheek, knowing that his cultivation level could drop to zero again at any moment.

After his cultivation level recovered, Li Sisui went to the lakeside to look at his left cheek and found that as his cultivation level improved, the dark spots seemed to have been suppressed and shrunk back to their previous size.

This discovery surprised and delighted Li Sisui, but upon careful recollection, he realized that when he had no cultivation level, the dark spots on his left cheek did not seem to be expanding.

How can this be explained?

After much thought, Li Sisui still had no clue, so he decided to put it aside.

Seeing is believing. Now that his cultivation level has improved, the dark spot on his left cheek is indeed gradually shrinking, so he can only continue down this path.

In the days that followed, Li Sisui never saw Su Qingyu again.

Whenever he missed her, he could only take out his blue handkerchief and look at the "Su" character embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief. This would always bring Li Sisui a little comfort in his monotonous and lonely cultivation.

In this unfamiliar world, the only person Li Sisui still cares about is probably Su Qingyu. But now that Su Qingyu is in seclusion, Li Sisui is once again immersed in loneliness.

With the annual outer sect trial drawing ever closer, Li Sisui is intensifying his cultivation.

That night, Li Sisui went to the back mountain to cultivate as usual. The moonlight poured into him like mercury, and he sat cross-legged, sensing the photons around him that were like a vast ocean.

Gradually, he noticed that more and more photons were subtly approaching his left hand, and with his conscious guidance, the speed at which they converged gradually increased.

Li Sisui was both surprised and delighted, and kept guiding the photon closer to his left hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Sisui exhaled a long breath, raised his left hand covered by the gauze gauntlet, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Although his cultivation aptitude was limited, he believed that closing one door opened another window. With such an incredible cultivation speed, given enough time, Li Sisui was confident that he could catch up with Su Qingyu's cultivation pace.

After months of relentless cultivation, Li Sisui finally broke through to the initial stage of the Void Realm and successfully condensed the complete set of Light Veil on his left hand.

This also means that after Li Sisui's cultivation level was reset to zero, he finally reached the peak of the first stage of cultivation.

As for how to cross this peak and reach a higher pulsating stage, Li Sisui had no clue for the time being, but he remembered the woman in green's instructions, which gave him some clue.

Although Li Si has now reached the Initial Stage of the Harmony Realm, recalling his failure in the last trial, he has not stopped cultivating. He not only continues to consolidate his cultivation every day, but also spends more time experiencing the changes in his body after the change in his realm.

Now that the Light Veil is fully activated, not only has his speed and explosive power increased significantly, but as his cultivation level continues to consolidate, he has also found that the speed at which he can summon the Light Veil is constantly improving.

Above the inner sect, a masked man stood alone on the edge of a cliff, lost in thought.

A moment later, a burly tribesman emerged from behind the masked man. Seeing the masked man not far away, he quickly bent down and approached, saying:

"Young master, what are your orders for summoning me in the dead of night?"

The masked man didn't turn around, his voice indifferent, neither happy nor sad:

"Are you ready for the outer sect trial in a few days?"

"Your subordinate will ensure everything goes perfectly, please rest assured, young master!"

"Step back!"

After the burly man left, the masked man turned around, removed the veil covering his head, revealing a face severely burned, with sparse, scattered hair.

After being disfigured, Li Qiu was no longer the elegant woman she once was. Her wrinkled and distorted face and charred skin made her a fearsome sight.

Because he was the first one to be swallowed whole by the eight-eyed spider toad that day, the strong acid liquid in the spider toad's stomach corroded most of his face and hair, leaving him unrecognizable. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, otherwise his life would have been in danger.

Li Qiu unconsciously placed her hand on her face, her eyes concealing endless anger.

The night was endless, and a cold wind was blowing. Li Qiu closed her eyes, feeling the cold wind embrace her, but a hint of enjoyment appeared on her face. However, this, combined with Li Qiu's current appearance, made her look somewhat ferocious.

Endless regret and remorse filled Li Qiu's chest. She wanted it but couldn't have it, yet she was unwilling to let go. All these emotions mixed together made Li Qiu not want to think anymore. She just wanted to get rid of the person in her mind as soon as possible.

Within the clan, killing each other is forbidden, and the person Li Qiu wants to get rid of is none other than Li Sisui, who stands between Li Qiu and Su Qingyu.

According to the meticulous planning of Li Qiu over the past decades, it was only a matter of time before the flowers bloomed.

Who would have thought that Li Sisui would suddenly appear out of nowhere, not only getting closer and closer to Su Qingyu, but also appearing completely harmless.
