Chapter 62

Nan Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Luo Tingyun Yingrun's profile, thought about what she had just said and done, and chuckled again.

[Junior sister is so cute, I want to pinch her face. ]

Luo Tingyun's body became stiffer and stiffer. His back involuntarily straightened up. He turned his face completely to the side, not wanting Nan Xi to see his expression. He said in a somewhat stiff and abject voice, "Senior Sister, please don't look at me anymore."

Knowing that Luo Tingyun was shy, Nan Xi was afraid of embarrassing him and making him angry, so she supported her chin.

"Okay."

As the voices faded away, the space became very quiet. Nan Xi looked at the white crystals emitting faint light and slowly became lost in thought.

【After this episode, it seems like we won’t see a complete transformation for another 40 or 50 years?】

Nan Xi just thought about it for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she became happy.

[Yes! Fifty years! I want to be free! ]

[Although Qi Qian is not here, the system will still monitor my character, but according to its nature, it will definitely be more relaxed. So during this period of time, can't I do whatever I want? ]

【Fifty years, that’s half of my life.】

Nan Xi sighed with satisfaction, [That’s enough!]

Because of Nan Xi's inner voice, Luo Tingyun looked in her direction and found that she was looking straight ahead with her eyes dull, obviously in a trance.

There was a smile on her lips, making her look calm and gentle.

He clearly felt his heart beat a little faster, but there was something in Nan Xi's words that he didn't quite understand.

Even though he has only lived for more than twenty years now, fifty years is a long time for him, but how can a mere fifty years be considered half of his life?

Even in the foundation-building period, the lifespan is two hundred years.

Now that they are in the Jindan stage, they all have a lifespan of at least 500 years. It is impossible for them to stop at the Jindan stage in the future. It is not difficult for them to gain a lifespan of 1,000 years.

In contrast, fifty years is just a blink of an eye.

Luo Tingyun's eyes fell on Nan Xi. He didn't figure it out, nor did he dwell on it. He was just distracted for a while.

And when Nan Xi came back to her senses and looked at him, the moment he met Nan Xi's gaze, he subconsciously looked away.

Nan Xi didn't feel anything wrong, just pondered for a moment, then said: "Qi Qian probably won't be able to recover in a short time, how about... a little practice?"

The time of cultivation passes exceptionally fast, especially when one reaches the Golden Elixir realm. It is very normal for three to five days to pass by in the blink of an eye.

Apart from this, the monks' perception of time is no different from that of ordinary people. Sitting still is very boring.

Luo Tingyun's eyelashes trembled slightly and he said, "Okay."

Nan Xi smiled at Luo Tingyun again, then closed her eyes and began to practice.

But Luo Tingyun did not close his eyes immediately. He just watched Nan Xi enter into meditation and the faint fluctuations of spiritual power surging from her body. He slightly felt her state of cultivation and then closed his eyes.

Even when practicing, the senior sister seemed to be more focused than him.

…

Qi Qian only felt scalding, and the scalding temperature brought a burning pain. The extremely domineering power was slowly absorbed by him, wandering in his meridians, also bringing bloating and pain, but he only felt satisfied.

Content with the growth of strength, content with the surge of power that he could not fully refine now.

The scorching heat of the strange fire had become unimportant to him. In Qi Qian's mind, he had already conceived a blueprint for how he would refine this power.

That bright future.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Nan Xi noticed when Qi Qian's movements slowed down, so she came out of her training and stood up.

If Qi Qian had suddenly turned around a second earlier, he would have seen the coldness in Nan Xi's eyes at this moment. It was a kind of coldness without any emotion. There was no love as he thought, nor any disgust or hatred.

Just a kind of calmness and rationality.

But he didn't see it, but Luo Tingyun saw it. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized something.

Even though Nan Xi often said in her heart that she wanted to strangle Qi Qian, in reality, Qi Qian's existence never had any impact on her mood.

Luo Tingyun blinked slightly and glanced in the direction of Qi Qian.

The strange fire on Qi Qian's body had faded, and his skin had a burned color, but he obviously didn't care about it now. A smile appeared on his usually expressionless face, a small smile, but one could see that he was content and happy.

There was even some tenderness in the look in his eyes.

"Xi'er, I got an excellent resource." Qi Qian said, "You helped me a lot."

He was so excited that he didn't even notice Luo Tingyun beside Nan Xi at first. Only after he finished saying this and his eyes met Luo Tingyun, he was suddenly stunned. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more in the end.

He just said, "I will be in seclusion this time when I go back, maybe for many years, you... don't have to wait for me."

Nan Xi just looked at Qi Qian, and her expression turned softer. Only those who have seen the real her could find that there was no true emotion in her expression.

She shook her head silently as shown in the plot, but said nothing.

Luo Tingyun listened with his ear tilted, but didn't hear anything.

Just as a different atmosphere was brewing in the air, their jade talismans suddenly began to boil, and then the space in front of them became empty. After a moment of emptiness, they left that space.

Even Luo Tingyun was stunned, "This time the space is only open for such a short time."

[That’s normal. It’s been open for about ten days. Before that, there were shorter ones, about three or four days…]

After all, this space is not a secret place. It is almost effortless to obtain the treasures in it, and there is no limit on the number of items that can be taken. If people are allowed to take them freely, it would not be appropriate.

Just as they were thinking about this, the communication jade talismans of the two people lit up at the same time. It was a message from the Third Elder, asking them to gather and prepare to return. Although there were only ten days, the disciples had gained a lot, and they came here just to participate in the immortal sect's grand event.

Although people who entered the space had no time to rest, the third elder and others actually stayed here for ten days.

Nan Xi and Luo Tingyun went downstairs together.

The rest of the people moved quickly, and by now the scene below was already bustling with activity.

"Brother Qi Zhao, what did you gain? Not only did I get the best sword-making materials, but I also received guidance from my ancestors. I feel like I can't hold back any longer. I'm going to go into seclusion when I get back."

This is Lou Wenzhu's voice, as energetic as ever.

Jing Feng's calm voice followed closely behind, and he said: "I found a cave full of sword spirit in space, and fought with sword spirit for a full ten days. I gained a lot of insights, and also obtained this sword manual."

The voice was calm but contained an almost undetectable sense of satisfaction.

Qi Zhao said with a smile, "Junior brother, you really haven't changed your nature."

Everyone knows that Jingfeng is a martial arts idiot. When it comes to swordplay, he can be considered the best in the same realm.

Lian Qianxing's tone was a little happy.

"I have gained a lot, but I don't know how Senior Sister is doing. Senior Sister Tingyun told me..."

Something suddenly flew towards him. Lian Qianxing grabbed it hastily and found it was a piece of candy. Then he looked in the direction where the candy came from with confusion.

Luo Tingyun was smiling, "What did you gain, Junior Brother?"

Somehow, Lian Qianxing was a little scared by Luo Tingyun's smile, so he quickly straightened his face and said, "I got a holy item that can strengthen my bones and muscles. I'll go back and ask Master to help me take it. My physical strength will rise several levels in the future."

Thinking of this, Lian Qianxing couldn't help but straighten his body and said happily: "In the future, even Senior Sister won't be able to hurt me so easily."

Nan Xi didn't notice the momentary hesitation in Lian Qianxing's attitude change. When everyone looked at her, she only said, "I got something that can work on the soul, but it doesn't seem to be of much use now."

Looking at her expression, everyone knew that there was something else going on, but when they tilted their ears to listen, they didn't hear anything. Then, Nan Xi still smiled calmly.

Everyone felt a little confused.

The things that Nan Xi specifically went to look for must be useful, and she also knew what they were going to be used for. However, she said this without revealing anything in her heart, which left them confused.

Instead, Luo Tingyun glanced at Nan Xi lightly, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes, and then he moved downstairs.

"I got what I wanted. It can change my fate. It's very useful."

He interrupted everyone else's thoughts and drew their attention to himself. In fact, Luo Tingyun didn't know what Nan Xi had taken.

He just knew one thing.

If Nan Xi feels it is necessary but does not speak her mind, then she is consciously hiding something from someone.

Something that hides what she knows and can hear her heart.

Thinking of this, Luo Tingyun looked thoughtful. It could work on the soul, but it had to be hidden from the system. Could it be that... Senior Sister wanted to deal with the system?
