Chapter 24
Nan Xi had just made up his mind when he looked at the disciples standing in front of him, looking at them with some suspicion.
"Why are you so curious about my attitude towards my junior sister?"
[I don't look like the type who would harm a fellow disciple, right?]
Disciples: You don't look like it, but that's what your heart says!
Although Nan Xi seemed to have changed his mind, the disciples were still a little worried and hesitated to speak.
The Tianyun Sword Sect has a righteous atmosphere, and there is basically no such thing as infighting among fellow disciples. Disciples are very wary of such things. Even if they encounter a fellow disciple they dislike, the most they can do is to defeat him in a competition.
Now that they heard that Nan Xi had such an idea, although they had to believe it because of Nan Xi's true feelings, the disciples also wanted to nip the idea in the bud.
However, they were just like He Jian at this moment. They wanted to speak but had nothing to say.
After all, Nan Xi didn't open her mouth and say that it was impossible for her to coexist peacefully with her junior sister.
So someone asked cautiously, "Senior sister, will you really live in peace with your junior sister?"
The disbelieving tone made Nan Xi look at the disciple again, and he found that not only the disciple who spoke, but also everyone present had a look of suspicion.
Nan Xi was dissatisfied, "I wonder if she is the kind of person who would make things difficult for her fellow disciples? She is my dear junior sister!"
After hearing Nan Xi's assurance, the disciples felt relieved. But soon someone raised his hand weakly, "Sister, I heard that my sister is a great beauty. Are you sure you don't like women?"
Nan Xi: “?”
The others looked at this fellow student who had the courage to speak out with admiration, and were almost ready to give him a thumbs-up.
"Why should I..." Nan Xi just said this, her eyes rolled, and she changed her tone abruptly, lowering her head and pretending to wipe away tears, "You all know who I like, why are you making fun of me?"
But in my heart, I made clear what I had not said just now.
[Why am I a womanizer? Why am I a womanizer? Do I look like a womanizer? ]
The disciples felt relieved again.
[Oh no, I love women!]
Nan Xi was very excited, [Who doesn't love beautiful women? ]
The disciples' hearts were lifted again, and everyone had a conflicted look on their faces. After listening to what Nan Xi said, they really wanted to ask Nan Xi if she was popular with both men and women.
But looking at Nan Xi's expression, he didn't ask in the end.
Seeing that no one had anything to ask, Nan Xi covered her chest and acted weak, "I'm tired today, so I'll go back first. You don't have to see me off. Let's go."
Then he cut a correct path among the disciples and walked firmly towards her courtyard.
She didn't take what just happened to heart, and belatedly she became excited to meet her junior sister.
[What does the junior sister look like? As a senior sister, should I give her some gifts? Hehehe...]
The disciples who witnessed everything: "..."
One disciple burst into tears, "Senior Sister, the way you looked just now, did you give up on me?"
Another person shook his head and said, "No, Senior Sister must be really tired."
Although the question of whether he liked women or not, and whether he was attracted to both men and women, had not yet been resolved, everyone still dispersed, and then decided anxiously that when Nan Xi went to pick up his junior sister tomorrow, they would quietly follow and see.
Coincidentally, there was another person who thought the same way.
The next day, when it was time for Nan Xi to pick up her junior sister, the disciples who had made the appointment secretly followed Nan Xi, and then ran into He Jian.
Disciples: “!”
He Jian: "..."
He stared at the dozen or so disciples in front of him with a serious face and asked, "Why are you secretly gathering here?"
He Jian has always been very dignified in the sect. A dozen disciples gathered together, silent as a cicada. Just as He Jian frowned and was about to speak, a disciple spoke tremblingly.
"Master, why are you here?"
The disciples looked at that disciple in shock.
hero!
He Jian was silent and deep in thought. He Jian glanced in the direction of Nan Xi and figured something out. His eyes drifted away, and he raised his hand, clenched his fist, put it in front of his lips and coughed lightly.
"I won't pursue it today. Be careful next time."
Seeing that the master disappeared in an instant, the disciples also looked in the direction of Nan Xi and laughed.
They quietly followed Nan Xi again, happily whispering, "Master, are you here to see Senior Sister and Junior Sister as well?"
"You still don't hold us accountable. It's so funny."
"What do you call this? Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone!"
"? That doesn't seem to be the way to say it."
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Not far from this group of disciples, but they can't see the sword: "..."
Nan Xi had been enduring this group of disciples behind him for quite some time.
Although everyone of the Tianyun Sword Religion's breathing technique has been well learned, and this group of disciples have also been very careful to keep a long distance from her, but they are still laughing and making noises, do they really think she is a fool?
Nan Xi felt that she could no longer bear it and turned around abruptly.
When the disciples saw Nan Xi's movements, they were also startled and dared not say anything. They looked over there vigilantly.
"Heh." Nan Xi sneered, "I saw you, why don't you hurry out."
No one moved.
Everyone was still staring at Nan Xi vigilantly. After a moment of stalemate, Nan Xi's sneer became a little hard to hold back, and one of the disciples spoke in confusion.
"Did Senior Sister say she saw us?"
The disciples were confused, the disciples were thinking, the disciples were shocked.
"It seems so."
"Senior sister actually found us? She didn't last time."
"Neither did I last time."
Nan Xi, who had heard everything they said, suppressed the twitching of her lips and said loudly, "Yes, I saw you. Why don't you come out quickly?"
[Heh, not only this time, but also last time and the time before that, I found out. I just don't want to expose you.]
It's fake. Nan Xi didn't notice it last time. She thought the time before that was the last time.
He Jian was not discovered. He glanced at his disciples and felt inexplicably happy.
This group of young people were allowed to make irresponsible remarks about their elders. Now they have been discovered. They deserve it!
What?!
The disciples' pupils trembled, they didn't expect that the senior sister had discovered it last time, and the time before that. The senior sister was actually so perceptive!
They came out from the bushes one by one, blinking their eyes and looking at Nan Xi, all of them looking extremely innocent.
Nan Xi crossed her arms over her chest and asked, "What is your purpose in following me?"
Just as she was getting arrogant, the system suddenly knocked on Nan Xi. Nan Xi could only put down her hands and look at the disciples expressionlessly.
The disciples looked at each other, and finally someone thought of a reason and said, "We are also curious about what you look like, and we want to come and see your historic meeting."
【?What?】
Nan Xi felt a sense of wisdom, but having said that, she looked at the disciples in front of her and felt that it seemed a bit inhumane to send them back like this.
After all, if it were her, she would also come to see what her junior sister, who is known as the most beautiful woman, looks like.
"Okay." Nan Xi said reluctantly, "Then you should hide well and don't let Junior Sister see it."
The disciples' eyes lit up and they readily agreed, then they went back into the bushes one by one. Someone popped his head out and urged Nan Xi, "Senior Sister, go quickly. We will follow you quietly."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Nan Xi said nothing more and walked quickly to the main gate of Tianyun Sword Sect. From a distance, it seemed that someone was already waiting. That person was wearing a dark blue and white outfit, and his hair was simply tied up with a hairpin. He was slightly raising his head and looking at the plaque of Tianyun Sword Sect.
The distance was still far, so I couldn't see the facial features clearly, but I could already tell that her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her figure was excellent.
Nan Xi's eyes lit up and she quickened her pace.
【Wuhu! Beauty! Beauty without a veil! 】
The little sister seemed to have noticed something as well. She frowned slightly and looked towards Nan Xi.
At that moment, Nan Xi's breathing stopped because of being looked at.
Her junior sister had a pair of cold eyes, like a distant mountain shrouded in mist, giving people a hazy sense of distance. However, her facial features were not dull, but rather painted with rich colors, such as crow-feather eyelashes and lips that were red without makeup. When you looked at her calmly, it made your heart beat wildly.
[Good, beautiful!] Nan Xi was at a loss for words, and began to talk nonsense, [It was as beautiful as wearing Satan's leather clothes under the quilt and being completely stunned.]
【I love it! 】
Originally, the disciples at the back were secretly admiring the beauty of their junior sister, but then they were shocked by Nan Xi's words and became speechless.
Not to mention that inexplicable sentence, the next sentence alone was enough to make their hearts beat wildly.
Senior sister, why did you fall in love? !
Junior sister, Luo Tingyun, also heard what was going on. He looked towards Nan Xi with surprise in his eyes.
But there was no change on his face. He just raised his hand slightly and gave Nan Xi a standard salute.
"Hello, Senior Sister."
Luo Tingyun has a nice voice, not a very sweet female voice, but a little hoarse, but it suits her very well. Nan Xi happily responded, "Hello, Junior Sister. It's been a long time since we last met. You have become more beautiful."
In response to such compliments, Luo Tingyun smiled but did not respond.
"No, but Senior Sister, you look a little different."
After getting closer, Nan Xi realized that Luo Tingyun was quite tall. She was 1.75 meters tall, which was considered tall among women, but Luo Tingyun was still half a head taller than her, at least 1.80 meters tall.
[Such a tall junior sister... but she is pretty, hehehe...]
What Nan Xi said was true. Although Luo Tingyun was tall, her proportions were perfect. The waist belt pinched her waist, making her look particularly slim.
Going further up, even if Nan Xi intended to ignore it, she could not deny that her junior sister was much more turbulent than herself.
The voice in his heart rang again, and Luo Tingyun looked at Nan Xi uncontrollably again. At this time, He Jian and the disciples who were hiding finally reacted.
No one has told Luo Tingyun about Nan Xi's thoughts!
So the disciples in the distance began to discuss in low voices again, "What should we do? What if Junior Sister lets the cat out of the bag?"
"Ah? Didn't anyone tell Junior Sister? Where's the Sect Master?"
"Master, oh yes, there is also a Master. The Master should have told Junior Sister about it."
Kazuken, who had completely forgotten about this, said: “…”
After all, one's inner thoughts might concern one at first, but as time passed, one got used to it. When Luo Tingyun said he was coming back, He Jianguang thought that his disciple had finally resolved those issues and could practice with peace of mind.
He Jian wanted to say something, but seeing that Luo Tingyun was extremely calm, he had not said a word since the beginning, and finally chose to wait and see.
The noise over there was so small that Nan Xi pretended not to hear it. Luo Tingyun, however, knew nothing and still looked over there. He was about to say something, but when he saw Nan Xi's expression, he didn't say anything in the end.
In order to divert Luo Tingyun's attention, Nan Xi smiled at Luo Tingyun and said, "Master asked me to pick you up, firstly to get familiar with you, and secondly to show you the sect."
She took the opportunity to get closer to him, "Can I call you A-Yun?"
Luo Tingyun was led forward by Nan Xi and nodded slightly, "Calling Ah Yun makes us feel close."
Nan Xi didn't expect the beauty to be so gentle and approachable, as if the coldness she showed at first sight was all fake. She felt happy instantly.
"Okay then, I'll call you Ah Yun from now on."
[Such a beauty, no wonder Qi Qian likes her. I like her too. 】
She was about to say something, but when she looked at Luo Tingyun, she saw his eyebrows jump and he looked at her with some disbelief. Nan Xi was puzzled by the look and blinked in confusion.
Disciples:!
It's said! The eldest senior sister accidentally revealed the fact that Qi Qian likes the younger sister!
From the very beginning, Luo Tingyun heard a voice. At first he thought he had misheard it, after all, Nan Xi didn't say anything. But such voices kept coming one after another, and it was clear who they came from.
But the words that came out of his mouth were polite and reserved, completely different from the other voice.
Including what I just said.
Qiqian, do you like him?
Luo Tingyun quickly suppressed his shock, and it took him a while to remember what Qi Qian looked like.
The reason for his surprise was not because of his good relationship with Qi Qian, but because he had heard about the entanglement between Nan Xi and Qi Qian even at home.
And because Nan Xi was his senior sister, he couldn't help but pay more attention to her, so he was quite familiar with Qi Qian.
Because of Nan Xi, he didn't have a good impression of Qi Qian. He didn't understand how this involved him, but Luo Tingyun calmed down slightly.
If Qi Qian really likes him, I'm afraid my senior sister will be unhappy.
Luo Tingyun looked at Nan Xi with some tentativeness, but saw that the other party was standing next to him. She had slightly raised her lips, her eyes shining, and noticed Luo Tingyun's gaze, so she looked over here and smiled at him friendly.
...I don't mean to dislike him.
Luo Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Xi did not notice these details, but the disciples saw Luo Tingyun's reaction, so they were happy.
It seems that the junior sister can get along well with the senior sister. The key is that the junior sister doesn’t seem to like Qi Qian either. It’s really cause for celebration.
Nan Xi was just talking about the migration when the system, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly started beeping, as if it had triggered some key words.
[A key person has been detected! A key person has been detected! Please maintain your character! Keyword for character: jealousy. ]
Nan Xi’s body trembled instantly, and she almost burst into tears. [You…Ahhhhhhhh! My little junior sister…]
The sudden sound shocked everyone present. Even He Jian couldn't help but tighten his face. Luo Tingyun was even more surprised. He almost subconsciously took a step away from Nan Xi.
[What a lousy character! If I were jealous of my junior sister, even if she didn't hate me, she would definitely choose to stay away from me.]
[Who would play the sister game with someone who is jealous of them? ]
Noticing that Luo Tingyun was looking at her, Nan Xi gave her a smile that was uglier than bitterness, "Junior sister is really nice... gentle and pretty, I'm sure there are a lot of men who like you, right?"
Before he could figure out what was going on, Luo Tingyun subconsciously disliked these words and frowned slightly.
"Why would you need a man to like you?"
Having said that, she seemed to have thought of something, and disgust flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Because of this disgust, even my favorable impression of Nan Xi decreased a lot.
[Junior sister is right! Wuwuwu, junior sister, please be kind. I don’t want the favors of some stinky man.]
[Junior sister, don't learn from me. No matter how handsome a man is, he is not worthy of you. Unless he is handsome, rich, strong, self-respecting, and treats you well, then you can consider him.]
Just because of these words, Luo Tingyun's frown relaxed a little.
In the dark, the disciples were whispering, "Why did Senior Sister's attitude suddenly change?"
"I don't know. What is the character setting?"
They suddenly remembered their senior sister's illness which they had forgotten for a long time. Could it be that... she was ill?
The group of people looked at each other, unsure. Although they felt that Senior Sister was not ill, they were afraid that this was the only explanation for her inconsistency.
Not only did the disciples think of this, but He Jian also thought of it. Not only did they think of it, they also memorized the unfamiliar term "personality".
When you have time in the future, think about it over and over again.
But that was all in the future. At this moment, Nan Xi reluctantly comforted herself by accepting the fact that she had to maintain her image, and she forced a smile at her junior sister.
Luo Tingyun paused, and said in a softer tone, "Senior Sister is very pretty and has a good personality. No matter if you are a man or not, you should not dislike Senior Sister."
When Nan Xi heard these words, she felt as if she were listening to heavenly music, and she was deeply moved.
"Thank you for your comfort, Junior Sister..."
[Don't bother me. From now on, I will be Junior Sister's person in life and Junior Sister's ghost in death... Even if I have a character setting, I will still be good to Junior Sister! ]
I didn't expect that a casual remark of mine would make Nan Xi care so much. Luo Tingyun pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, but a hint of red quietly appeared on the tip of his ears.
Nan Xi took Luo Tingyun all the way up the mountain.
That's right, there is a long way to go from the main gate to the place where the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect carry out their daily activities. Even though the stone steps are flat, there are actually 9,999 steps.
However, this amount of exercise is just a piece of cake for a cultivator, especially a sword cultivator.
When they got to the top of the mountain, more and more people gathered. The disciples who had followed Nan Xi all the way found opportunities to get out of the bushes, and then walked past them as if nothing had happened.
Nan Xi's expression was distorted from time to time because she had to maintain a jealous look all the way while revealing her true feelings to her junior sister.
But that's not a big deal.
After listening to Nan Xi's mumbling along the way, He Jian was sure that Nan Xi would not do anything stupid on impulse, so he whispered a message to Luo Tingyun before leaving.
"If you have any questions about your sister's thoughts, come and talk to me later."
Luo Tingyun was startled when he heard He Jian's voice. Then he looked at Nan Xi's back with a deeper look in his eyes. What was in his heart?
Previously, He Jian had conveyed his thoughts to everyone in the sect through the jade disc, but due to personal reasons, Luo Tingyun did not activate some functions of the jade disc. After he came back this time, he can use it, but the previous information cannot be received for the time being.
In the past, if there was something important that he needed to know, He Jian would inform him separately.
Since Nan Xi was still leading the way, there was nothing to say between the two of them and she was just immersed in her own thoughts.
Sometimes I thought of Luo Tingyun’s gentle and considerate words, and sometimes I thought of the limitations of the plot.
[Hehehe beauty...beauty hehehe, let me hug you, touch you, and cuddle with you! Oh, damn it! It's all because of that damn Qi Qian, it prevented me from being intimate with you.]
I have no ill feelings towards Nan Xi, but I can't stand Luo Tingyun being so reckless.
After having more disciples, Nan Xi brought Luo Tingyun with her, and received more and more attention. Nan Xi was afraid that Luo Tingyun would feel uncomfortable, so she pretended to be a good person and said in an awkward tone: "Everyone is quite enthusiastic, and some are curious about you, Junior Sister."
"Junior sister, if you have any questions, please ask your fellow sisters and brothers. They are all very nice."
"I will definitely like you."
Nan Xi acted depressed.
The disciples were fine, as they had gotten used to Nan Xi's behavior. However, Luo Tingyun couldn't stand it. He moved his fingertips and couldn't help but said, "Senior Sister, you are also very good. Everyone is looking at you, so they must like you too."
The disciples who were suddenly mentioned: "!"
They quietly moved away, not because they were denying what was said, but because they all felt a little embarrassed because Luo Tingyun was right.
It's not the kind of love between men and women, but the kind of love between fellow disciples, the kind of love for a senior sister. Not much, just a little bit.
Nan Xi lowered her head slightly, not believing it either in her heart or in her mouth, "Hmm..."
[Although my relationship with everyone has inexplicably improved recently, I don’t think they like me.]
"You!" Luo Tingyun frowned, and suddenly let out a breath, "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this."
The disciples also looked at Nan Xi aggrievedly. They wanted to speak but did not dare to. In the end, they chose to keep silent aggrievedly.
Nan Xi took Luo Tingyun to see the martial arts arena and other places that were commonly used in the sect, and finally took him to his courtyard.
The location is very close to Nan Xi's courtyard, so they can be said to be neighbors, but Luo Tingyun's courtyard is bigger, and there is a hot spring built in the backyard. It is said that because of the health of the little junior sister, the Luo family built such a hot spring at their own expense. There are rare medicinal stones in it that can nourish the body.
At this time, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so Nan Xi kept some things to herself.
[Ah, hot spring, hot spring, I also want to soak in a hot spring. If my junior sister doesn’t dislike me in the future and we become more familiar with each other, I will ask my junior sister to soak in a hot spring together, hehe.]
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingyun opened his mouth, seemed to be about to speak, and finally said nothing.
"Okay, today's mission ends here. You are not feeling well, so you need to rest well."
Nan Xi waved goodbye to Luo Tingyun.
The heroine during this period is still considerate and has not been completely blinded, so even though she is jealous, she will do what she should do, and what she says is not ooc.
Luo Tingyun took one last look at Nan Xi and then nodded.
After the two of them parted, Luo Tingyun watched Nan Xi walk away before turning around and walking towards He Jian's cave.
He Jian had been waiting for her in the cave for quite a while. Unlike the time he faced Nan Xi, although he loved this disciple, they had not been together for a long time and were not that close, so he could only frown out of habit.
“How are you feeling today?”
Luo Tingyun nodded, "Everything is fine, except Senior Sister..."
"Your eldest sister's matter is a bit complicated, so I will keep it short.
Her inner voice has been revealed. I don’t know why, and I can’t find a solution. But fortunately, only her fellow disciples can hear it. I ask you to keep this a secret from now on.”
After hearing this, Luo Tingyun understood, "Disciple understands."
After that, he briefly talked about his body and checked whether Luo Tingyun had fallen behind in his cultivation while at home. When everything was almost done, He Jian let Luo Tingyun go back.
But afterwards, he looked at Luo Tingyun's slowly leaving back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed almost imperceptibly.
Of his two disciples, one reveals his inner thoughts, says one thing and means another, and no one knows what's wrong with him; the other has a special fate and is prone to suffer losses before breaking through the calamity, and has a rough life.
It's really worrying.
Luo Tingyun returned to his residence, feeling uncomfortable inside his body, frowned slightly, and went straight to the backyard.
The hot spring water is emitting steam. Although it is an open-air hot spring, it is protected by a formation, so no matter from which angle you look at it, you cannot see what is inside.
Luo Tingyun took off his clothes and went into the water.
Surprisingly, the body under the clothes is not that of a woman. She has wide shoulders, narrow waist, and tight muscles, as if she is always exercising. The style of Luo Tingyun's clothes has a modifying effect on the figure, which ordinary people cannot see.
He leaned against the wall, slightly closed his eyes, his eyelashes were long and dense, and his facial features were faintly heroic under the mist, but still beautiful and moving.
…
After Nan Xi returned, she threw herself directly onto the bed, feeling somewhat happy.
Although the process had some twists and turns, but when they separated, she could see that her junior sister did not dislike her. After briefly recalling the contact with the beauty, Nan Xi was dazed for a while before she suddenly sat up.
She called the system, "System, I should be practicing hard recently, right?"
In the plot, the heroine was inspired by her junior sister and encouraged by Qiqian, so she decided to practice hard. The period of time that followed was a rare highlight for the heroine. Not only did her popularity improve, but her cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds.
But this was just the calm before the storm. Nan Xi was powerless to complain about the stupid plot that followed.
However, Nan Xi is still quite interested in cultivation.
The system replied after a while, "Yes."
When Nan Xi was preparing to practice, the system suddenly said: [The mistakes in the plot a few days ago have now been corrected. The male protagonist defeated another genius on the way back and became famous from then on.]
Nan Xi paused, "Oh, it's none of my business, don't tell me."
【OK.】
In a place that Nan Xi couldn't see, the system looked at the words in the data that said the hero's luck had decreased by 10%, and fell into deep thought.
Because of what the system said, Nan Xi was upset for a while before she calmed down and entered the state of cultivation.
To be honest, she had not practiced for a long time, because as long as she practiced, her cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds, and even five cows could not stop her, so the system forbade her to practice afterwards.
So she spent a lot of time practicing sword every day. If her skills improved, it was due to the spiritual energy she absorbed while practicing sword.
It was easy for her to immerse herself in the practice once she started, and soon, spiritual energy surged towards her.
Nan Xi did not notice this movement, her mind was completely immersed in cultivation, she used her "mind's eye" to look inward at the meridians in her dantian and the flow of spiritual energy.
She found that her Dantian was full. If the Dantian was compared to a basin, then the spiritual energy was mist or water. During the Qi training stage, the cultivator would store the spiritual energy in the Dantian and transform it into spiritual power for his own use. He would also use the spiritual power to strengthen his tendons and veins and absorb the spiritual energy.
Before building the foundation, the Dantian has already been full once. The cultivator needs to concentrate the spiritual energy again and again, and finally turn it into "water", and then the foundation is built.
This is a metaphor. After all, spiritual energy is not real air, and water is not real water. When the "water" is full, it only takes an opportunity for the spiritual energy in the dantian to turn into elixir, and then enter the golden elixir stage.
However, without this opportunity, no matter how much you practice, it will only be an accumulation of quantity.
The reason why Nan Xi is still practicing is just because she wants to practice.
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Nan Xi suddenly heard the sound of something breaking. Before she could react, more spiritual energy began to swarm towards her.
The "water" in Dantian begins to stir, surge, and form a vortex.
Nan Xi understood what was going on instantly. She couldn't help but open her eyes, but then closed them again subconsciously. She knew that she couldn't be careless in breaking through the golden elixir stage, so she gritted her teeth and continued to practice, absorbing spiritual energy and shaping the golden elixir.
In a place that Nan Xi could not see, spiritual energy surged towards her. The amount was so large that it gradually became visible and surrounded her. Soon after, the milky white spiritual energy took on a cocoon shape, surrounding Nan Xi, making her almost invisible.
Nan Xi looked inward at his Dantian, watching the spiritual energy continuously pouring in and disappearing. The color of the spiritual energy in his Dantian gradually turned golden, and the almost overflowing spiritual power continuously shrank and gathered towards the center of his Dantian.
Sweat broke out on her forehead. She never thought that she would suddenly have a breakthrough just by practicing once in a while.
This isn't the time yet for the heroine to achieve a breakthrough to the golden elixir stage as described in the plot!
In a flash, Nan Xi thought of many things, including whether the system would intervene and forcibly interrupt her breakthrough, and even if it did not intervene, whether the subsequent punishment would be severe.
But it was just a moment, she immediately abandoned all distracting thoughts and concentrated on shaping the golden elixir.
No matter what kind of crappy system it is, let her break through first.
Gradually, there was no more disturbance in the Dantian, and the spiritual veins that had been almost drained began to flow with spiritual power again. The spiritual power cocoon surrounding Nan Xi's body was almost completely absorbed by her.
At a certain moment, the sphere made of "water" flashed with golden light, and the material became solid, with a faint mysterious aura passing through it.
The golden elixir is ready.
Nan Xi opened his eyes, let out a breath, and then suddenly jumped up.
She ran out of the house nervously, looking at the golden clouds gathering in the sky, and hurriedly searched everywhere in her storage bag, looking for all the arrays that could hide the reality and the illusion, and she used them all at once.
The golden cloud fell on her head, and the blessing of heaven came down. Nan Xi suddenly felt her whole body clear. When the golden cloud no longer bestowed blessings, Nan Xi ran out from the place where the formation was located nervously, knowing that the golden cloud was dispersing, but had not disappeared.
Then I was relieved when I couldn't see it from outside.
Jin Yun is not small, at least in the same peak. If she does not take any measures, then soon a lot of people will know that she has advanced to the Golden Core stage.
It’s not that I don’t want everyone to know, but the plot hasn’t reached that point yet. If people knew about it in advance, the consequences would be disastrous.
Nan Xi was heaving a sigh of relief, not knowing that two hours ago, He Jian had faintly felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy here, but at first he thought it was just Luo Tingyun's doing and did not take it seriously.
After an hour, the fluctuations of spiritual energy gradually became stable, and He Jian no longer felt it, so he didn't take it to heart anymore.
Who would have thought that half an hour ago, the fluctuations became more and more intense, and two quarters of an hour ago, He Jian sensed some unusual aura, and finally realized that something was wrong, and hurried over.
As soon as I came over, I saw Nan Xi standing outside the yard, quite a distance away, looking at something furtively.
He Jian felt more and more that something was wrong. He walked forward with a frown and heard Nan Xi mumbling something.
"I am really a genius. I just practiced a little bit and made such a big move."
He Jian frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Wow!" Nan Xi was startled and almost jumped and turned around, then she saw He Jian. She was suddenly startled and said subconsciously: "No..."
After she said a word, she bit it off.
[Just now, the spiritual power fluctuated so much. I didn't have time to set up the formation at that time. Master has such a high level of cultivation, he should be able to feel it. Isn't it a lie to just say that there is nothing wrong? ]
Nan Xi thought about it and felt that this was the case. [When the master wants to find out the source of the spiritual power fluctuations, it will be bad for me.]
So she smiled at He Jian and said, "My disciple was practicing just now, and it resonated with the surroundings, causing spiritual power fluctuations."
Cultivators are in communication with heaven and earth. Even sword cultivators can resonate with heaven and earth. Such resonance is rare, but it can indeed produce considerable fluctuations in spiritual power.
If Nan Xi said this normally, He Jian would have believed it, but when Nan Xi muttered to himself, He Jian didn't believe it at all.
He was still wondering in his mind what had caused the fluctuation in spiritual power.
He first ruled out the possibility of breaking through the Jindan stage. If Nan Xi had broken through the Jindan stage, he would be able to see it at the first moment.
He Jian thought about magic weapons, spiritual treasures, spiritual beasts, and various movements that might occur during cultivation, but he was not sure about anything.
And just about that movement... He Jian thought about it and felt a hint of aura, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Nan Xi looked at He Jian's expression and knew that he didn't notice, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
[It seems that Master didn't see it. Fortunately, I have something to hide my cultivation level, otherwise I would be in danger this time.]
He Jian's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are you hiding something from me?"
He couldn't ask directly, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had no idea when Nan Xi had a magic weapon that could hide her cultivation level, and he had never noticed it before.
