Lü Liangke in danger
However, every so often, a phoenix is destined to appear in the world. When Ruan Qingyu died in her previous life, the energy in the world diminished by a fraction, which was instantly detected by the Heavenly Dao.
This gave her a second chance, and this time Ruan Qingyu was determined to restore her phoenix bloodline in order to ascend to the immortal realm.
Feeling the immense aura emanating from her memories, and overwhelmed by a strange sense of mission, Ruan Qingyu unknowingly lingered in this ancestral land for quite some time.
She thoroughly reviewed all the cultivation techniques and basic insights that the Phoenix bloodline should learn. However, the consciousness responsible for imparting knowledge in the ancestral land said that she had only scratched the surface.
"The time is almost up, and I will definitely come back later no matter what. Please forgive me." Ruan Qingyu clasped his hands and respectfully said to the feather in mid-air that was emitting a faint red light.
Now Ruan Qingyu has acquired the demeanor and knowledge befitting a member of the Phoenix Clan, but she is increasingly respectful towards these mysterious feathers.
Like a junior meeting an elder in the family, they were extremely careful and respectful, afraid of making a mistake and ending up with something they had never learned before.
The feather shimmered with a red light, as if sensing Ruan Qingyu's urgent feelings, and suddenly dissipated into starlight.
Before Ruan Qingyu could react, she fell into a deep sleep again.
With a warm, moist sensation, Ruan Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes. Only then did she realize that Yun Yin was lying on her neck, licking it incessantly.
It felt numb and itchy, but from that frequency, one could tell that Yunyin was very anxious.
"Yunyin. I'm awake, I'm awake." Unable to bear the strange feeling any longer, Ruan Qingyu immediately scooped up the little black panther with one hand.
A man and a leopard locked eyes. The man saw the worry deep in the leopard's pupils, while the beast saw that Ruan Qingyu was indeed safe and sound.
In an instant, Yun Yin seemed to struggle fiercely. He managed to break free from Ruan Qingyu's grasp: "You've been unconscious for five days. Although you're about to get through this period, if you remain unconscious and can't get out on your own, I'm afraid you'll fail the test."
This explains why she acted in such a hurry. Ruan Qingyu was unaware that Yun Yin actually panicked the moment he was caught.
Would he be considered a pervert for his behavior? But looking at Ruan Qingyu's expression, which remained completely unchanged, he realized that he was just a little leopard in her eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little annoyed.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, and that Yunyin's actions were merely a wake-up call, Ruan Qingyu naturally harbored no dissatisfaction. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just happened to experience a fortuitous encounter and gained some bloodline opportunities again."
Because the two were practically bound together, Ruan Qingyu recounted everything that had happened to her in the past few days without any hesitation.
Yun Yin circled around on the ground and said, "I've heard about this from other ancient bloodline demon beasts before. It's all beneficial to you. Ten years in the Xuan Tian Sect might not be as valuable as ten days of your bloodline inheritance."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyu nodded in agreement: "Five days have already passed, and there are two days left. In your opinion, should I continue cultivating?"
To everyone's surprise, Yun Yin's voice suddenly became somewhat inexplicable upon hearing her question: "Why don't you try to sense it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingyu was taken aback at first, then closed her eyes and slowly scanned herself with her divine sense. When she opened her eyes again, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Just because, after five days, his cultivation level had actually reached the seventh level of Qi Refining? He originally thought that he had only learned some ancient books in the Phoenix Ancestral Land in these five days, and that he had mastered many cultivation techniques.
However, this was only in his consciousness. He never expected that his body would progress so quickly by slowly absorbing spiritual energy, following those ancient cultivation methods.
"It seems we can put it aside for now. If we continue cultivating, I'm worried that the Xuantian Sect will become suspicious of me. I remember that the highest level among the new disciples who entered the Xuantian Sect for training this time was the sixth level of Qi Refining."
However, that disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining was twenty-three years old. Compared to these sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boys, he certainly had much more experience.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qingyu stood up but suddenly her legs went weak. If she hadn't reached out and leaned against the wall in time, she would have fallen to the ground covered in dust.
For five days, his consciousness was dormant, barely sustained by spiritual power, until it returned to its place. His body had been starving for five days, and this immediately manifested itself.
Yun Yin suddenly snorted a few times, and saw her slowly lower her head to look at him. Then he blinked his beast eyes, and with a few flashes of purple light, several brightly colored fruits appeared in front of Ruan Qingyu.
"For me?" Ruan Qingyu couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise as she squatted down to take the fruit. A wisp of spiritual energy slowly swept across her palm—a very simple Cleansing Technique.
Seeing that the spiritual fruit became even more delicious after the Cleansing Technique was applied, Ruan Qingyu no longer hesitated and swallowed the sweet-tasting spiritual fruit in a few bites.
He ate three in a row before slowly stopping and letting out a sigh of relief.
Yunyin sat upright on the ground, his feet unconsciously resting on his tail. He watched as Ruan Qingyu finished eating before saying in his mind, "You've been asleep these past few days, so I went outside to find some spiritual fruits. I was thinking of catching a few demonic beasts for you to eat, but you're only at the Qi Refining stage now, so eating those demonic beasts would only add impurities to your diet."
The cultivation process is a continuous process of eliminating impurities from the body. Only by achieving a flawless body can one cultivate at a rapid pace.
Although Ruan Qingyu now possesses the innate Phoenix Physique, her body is still tainted with the blood of the Ruan family, and impurities remain within her. Therefore, it is better to have less rather than more.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu squatted down and reached out to pat Yun Yin's head: "Thank you very much, this spiritual fruit is very delicious. If you need anything else later, just let me know. We've been through thick and thin together."
Yun Yin turned his head away, not quite agreeing with the statement, but seeing Ruan Qingyu's serious expression, he had no choice but to let out a loud "Aww!" in agreement.
Then, with a leap, he climbed back up to Ruan Qingyu's chest.
Once he was settled, Ruan Qingyu followed the light from the cave and slowly walked outside.
At this moment, outside the water mirror.
When Ruan Qingyu was meditating five days ago, the other elders didn't pay any attention. However, as time passed, many people noticed that she had actually slept for five days.
"I wonder if this little girl has some kind of habit of sleeping? She's so bold as to sleep for five days straight." An elder looked at Ruan Qingyu with curiosity, and when he saw her finally emerge from the cave, he felt a sense of relief.
Mo Wen naturally saw it too, but since his natal magic weapon didn't react to it, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, upon hearing it now, he looked over with some curiosity.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "He must have learned some kind of cultivation technique. Before I went in, I saw that his cultivation level was at the third level of Qi Refining. He must have been cultivating a technique to be able to sleep for so long. The spiritual energy in the secret realm is abundant, so he must be a smart person."
"She's a bit playful. Even after joining the sect, she brought some demonic beasts with her. Those beasts look like ordinary leopards, and I'm afraid they'll be abandoned if they can't keep up with her strength in the future."
In the secluded mountain realm, Ruan Qingyu had just crossed a mountain peak when she was drawn by the sounds of fighting, one of the voices sounding very familiar.
Without hesitation, she carefully concealed her presence and headed in that direction. Standing atop a large rock, she didn't immediately peek out.
He used his divine sense to investigate outside. He saw two women and one man arguing about something, and judging from their positions, it seemed like one person was arguing against the two.
If it were an ordinary quarrel, Ruan Qingyu would have treated it as a fight between ordinary cultivators and ignored it. However, the person targeted this time was one of the few acquaintances Ruan Qingyu knew.
The target was Lü Liangke, whose spiritual energy was now depleted. The three had originally met by chance in the mountain's secret realm and agreed to explore it together, but as time passed...
Aside from a few ferocious monsters, the mountainous secret realm was generally peaceful. However, today the three of them happened to witness two tiger-shaped monsters fighting, both of which were severely injured.
The male cultivator among the three was the first to offer a suggestion; all three were currently at the third level of Qi Refining. Taking advantage of the two tiger demons being heavily injured on the ground, the three attacked together.
Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. Although these three were only at the third level of Qi Refining, their spiritual energy attacks were all thrown at the bite wounds, and they actually killed the two demonic beasts directly.
However, when it was time to split the spoils equally, the other two suddenly turned against them, demanding that Lü Liangke withdraw or they would resort to violence.
"You two have known each other for a long time?" Lü Liangke looked at the two of them warily and slowly backed away.
The female cultivator they first encountered smiled slightly but remained silent, only looking mysteriously at the male cultivator beside her.
The male cultivator had initially said that Lü Liangke was withdrawing, but now, looking at Lü Liangke's appearance, she was a beautiful young woman in her prime.
"I've changed my mind. If you kiss me, I'll let you go. Otherwise, my sister and I will beat you up here, and when other demonic beasts come, you won't escape death either." As the male cultivator spoke, a blinding flame suddenly ignited in his palm.
He practiced fire-based techniques, and his family had taught him many fire-based attack spells. Now he was using them to threaten Lü Liangke, just to satisfy his lust.
Seeing this, Lü Liangke gritted his teeth and remained silent. His eyes darted around, waiting to find a suitable location so he could quickly escape.
The female cultivator, however, keenly sensed Lü Liangke's thoughts: "Brother, this person is trying to escape." The feud had already been formed, and if Lü Liangke wasn't dealt with now, neither of them would fare well if she were to be summoned back into the sect later.
In the cultivation world, all cultivators who embark on the path of cultivation know the principle that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Therefore, after the brother and sister developed lustful desires as male cultivators, they never intended to let Lü Liangke go.
Although the female cultivator was somewhat annoyed that her brother had caused trouble for no reason, the two of them had the upper hand, so they killed him without hesitation.
Seeing this, Lü Liangke felt a sense of despair, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Have you forgotten that there is a Water Mirror here? When the sect finds out that you attacked your fellow disciples, they will definitely not let you off the hook."
Unexpectedly, the female cultivator suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Dream on. You haven't even passed this test. How can you be considered a disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect? When the time comes, my brother and I will be the new disciples who stay behind, and we will definitely make an exception for you."
The two were betting that the Xuan Tian Sect would abandon fairness to the dead disciples in order to save the living ones.
