After leaving the old house in the south of the city, Qi Yu bought another Disguise Pill from the system shop and created a new face once again.
This time, she carefully sculpted a face that was more than ordinary, or even ugly.
The system panel displayed a face with dull eyes, dry lips, and a sallow complexion, looking as haggard as if it hadn't slept for ten days or half a month.
Qi Yu smiled, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes, adding a touch of liveliness.
The green-feathered parrot stared in astonishment at Qi Yu's incredible feat, its beak opening and closing, unsure of what to say.
"You, you, you, how did you suddenly change your face!"
Qi Yu rolled her eyes. "Your enemies have already seen that face. Are you afraid of not dying fast enough by walking around with that face on?"
Before Green Bird could retort, Qi Yu took out the Spring Breeze Hairpin and led Little Black and Green Bird inside.
"Stay inside, I'm going out to find something."
She changed into a gray robe she had never worn before, and walked towards the Flying Star Treasure Pavilion as soon as she left the space.
I'll go see if they have any Foundation Establishment Pills ready-made.
With the ban on Qiankun Fort lifted, the city's residents were once again active on the streets. Qi Yu walked among them, effortlessly unable to distinguish who looked more like a native.
She helped a child who almost fell up and then took the fried dough stick that the child's mother gratefully handed her.
Amidst the surging crowd, Qi Yu slowed her pace, took a bite of the fragrant fried dough, and her gaze became slightly unfocused.
Actually, what Yi Xiangfeng just said still bothered her.
What exactly are these heavy burdens and how difficult is the road ahead?
She's already having a tough time!
But since he could elicit a silencing order from the world's will, he must know something crucial, he just can't say it...
It's unclear what Yi Xiangfeng's true identity is. He has the Water-Repelling Pearl and the Divination Technique, acting all mysterious and enigmatic, much like an NPC in a game who provides hints for the player.
He said he would wait for her at the starting point, but what did that mean...?
It's all so vague and ambiguous, it really whets the appetite.
That's so unethical!
Qi Yu sighed; in the end, she still had to figure it out herself.
As she approached the entrance of Feixing Treasure Pavilion, she unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure.
The young man, dressed in a white robe with his hair casually spread out, seemed to sense something, turned around, and looked at Qi Yu.
It is Atractylodes macrocephala.
Qi Yu's eyes flickered, and she made eye contact with Bai Shu for a moment.
However, the next second, Bai Shu's gaze swept past her and then turned into the distance without lingering.
Qi Yu also looked into the distance, where there were only a few leaves blown down by the wind.
That's true, Bai Shu probably wouldn't recognize her now.
She lowered her head and was about to walk into the Flying Star Treasure Pavilion.
It's best not to say anything, lest you cause him trouble.
As she brushed past Bai Shu, her arm was suddenly grabbed.
"He looks like he's about to die. He should take some medicine to help him recover."
After saying that, Bai Shu stuffed a small wooden box into the girl's arms and walked away without looking back.
Qi Yu stared blankly at his retreating figure, then opened the small wooden box.
Inside was a Foundation Establishment Pill that emitted a familiar, refreshing fragrance!
When she looked up again, Bai Shu was no longer in sight.
Bai Shu actually recognized her...
Moreover, the news that she was killed by Li Daogu should have spread by now. Why is Bai Shu here, carrying a Foundation Establishment Pill of excellent quality?
Did he know she wasn't dead and would come to Duobaoge to buy things?
No... it must have just been a coincidence...
Regardless of what actually happened, Bai Shu really helped her a lot this time.
The Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Bai Shu will surely be better than the one she refined herself.
Qi Yu gripped the small wooden box tightly, a surge of emotion welling up inside her.
She glanced at Yan Shi, a disciple of the Flying Star Sect, who was sitting behind the counter of the Treasure Pavilion, watching her curiously, and then turned and left.
Since we've already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, there's no need to waste any more money!
Yan Shi, who was waiting to receive the guests, thought: "??" Why did they all leave after only staying at the door for a short while?
Qi Yu, unaware of Yan Shi's inner thoughts, walked straight out of the city.
There's no telling what unexpected things might happen when a cultivator advances; it's best to find a quiet, secluded place to do so.
Arriving at a dilapidated temple she had visited before, and after carefully checking that no one was around, Qi Yu slipped into the space of Spring Breeze Brushing Hairpin.
Sitting on the bed in the room, Qi Yu took a few deep breaths, opened the small wooden box, and took out a bright and shiny Foundation Establishment Pill.
The large vat of spiritual energy within her body had overflowed and was in dire need of foundation building.
Qi Yu curled the corners of his mouth and put the Foundation Establishment Pill into his mouth.
The smooth pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a warm current flowed into her limbs and bones, cleansing the impurities inside her body.
She had never been so clear-headed before, as if her brain had been cleansed. Even the advanced mathematics problems that had stumped her before were now solved.
Qi Yu collected his thoughts and quietly experienced this profound realm.
Three hours later, she slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
The system, which had been silent for a long time, popped up and gave her a big surprise.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, taking another step closer to ascension to immortality! You are rewarded with 6666 points. We wish you a pleasant journey of cultivation!]
"Holy crap! So many!" Qi Yu couldn't help but swear. The system, which had been stingy like a miser when she was doing the daily good deed task, had suddenly given her over six thousand points?!
It's raining red rain from the sky!
[Friendly reminder, dear host, your current score is -7 merit points. You have now met the requirements to upgrade the system.]
Qi Yu rolled her eyes. Every 100 points could be exchanged for 1 merit point. If she wanted to upgrade the system, she needed 250 merit points. Adding the seven merit points that were deducted, the total points were just a few. She had enough points now to upgrade the system.
After upgrading the system, she still had 206 points left, which was like going back to square one.
but……
Qi Yu glanced at the little white bird placed next to her pillow.
Having already kept him asleep for so long, and now that there's a way to stop Qi Han from stealing her soul, she can't keep clinging to his inner core any longer.
"System, please exchange 257 merit points for me and upgrade the system."
Okay, please wait.
[System upgrade in progress...]
[Successfully upgraded to intermediate system! Come check out what's new in the shop!]
Qi Yu's eyes lit up. "Help me find the antidote."
【OK. 】
[The Six-Cleansing Detoxification Pill—an upgraded version of the Three-Cleansing Detoxification Pill—can resolve more complex and difficult-to-treat poisons. Enjoy worry-free poisoning relief for just 200 points!]
Two hundred points... If I buy her, I'll only have nine points left!
This is going to drain her dry!
