track
Could it be that cultivating both spiritual and physical senses for too long has directly affected the physical body in reality? Yun Yin felt a little guilty and lay down by the bed, wanting to check for any other traces.
Suddenly, he twitched his ears and immediately lay down on the ground, pretending to be asleep.
On the bed, Ruan Qingyu, who had slept for three whole days, slowly opened her eyes. Her first reaction was that her throat was dry. She lightly tapped the air with her fingertips, and a soft drop of water fell into her open mouth.
After her parched throat was finally healed, Ruan Qingyu realized that her whole body was sore and weak, and she thought about that absurd dream.
Ruan Qingyu sat up abruptly, touching her cheek. She murmured softly, "What's wrong with me? Could it be that I made a mistake during my training?"
Otherwise, how could she have such a vivid and clear dream, filled with passion and desire, that made her cheeks flush instantly?
Patting her forehead, Ruan Qingyu subconsciously circulated her inner energy, only to find that the bottleneck that had been somewhat blocking her had long since disappeared, and she had now entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
There are indeed examples in our bloodline of ancestors who cultivated in their dreams and whose cultivation levels greatly increased upon waking. But perhaps those ancestors also engaged in illicit sexual activity?
Ruan Qingyu's thoughts drifted away when she suddenly felt something warm and damp on her fingertips, startling her so much that she quickly pulled her hand back. Following the direction of the strange touch, she realized that Yun Yin had been licking her fingertips, which were resting on the edge of the bed.
"Yun Yin!" Enraged, Ruan Qingyu kicked Yun Yin on the head.
Feeling guilty, Yunyin let out a loud "Awooo" and stubbornly remained seated.
Ruan Qingyu realized it was just a dream, and that she had overreacted. She withdrew her foot from Yun Yin's body and saw Yun Yin's beastly eyes.
Ruan Qingyu, who usually didn't feel anything special, inexplicably felt that Yun Yin's pair of dark purple beast eyes were vaguely similar to the black curly-haired man with purple eyes in her dream.
"Yunyin, how long until you can transform into human form?" Ruan Qingyu asked tentatively.
Instantly, Yun Yin sat up stiffly. But he dared not remain silent, and only mumbled, "I haven't reached the bottleneck of my breakthrough yet."
Thinking that the dream was probably too vivid for him, he started to have random thoughts and patted his forehead.
Ruan Qingyu yawned and said, "I hope you can reach the bottleneck soon. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what you look like when you take human form."
Yun Yin stiffened even more: "Are you looking forward to it?"
"It's said that the transformation of a demon beast depends on luck. If you don't look very good after you transform, it doesn't matter. You can just use your spiritual power to adjust it later." Having known each other for so long, Ruan Qingyu had never asked Yun Yin about his previous appearance.
Hearing his hesitant voice, I assumed he lacked confidence in himself.
"In my transformed form, I was pursued by many men in the past! Tall, handsome, and majestic—they all praised me!" Yun Yin gritted his teeth. What was this woman saying!
Blinking, Ruan Qingyu nodded somewhat perfunctorily.
The disciple token at her waist flashed at this moment. Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu ignored Yun Yin's somewhat agitated appearance after being dealt with perfunctorily.
A message flew out after tapping the token: "The two have left the cultivation cave and are heading towards the Snow Plains of the Far Continent."
Once the message was viewed, it vanished into starlight in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Qingyu's relaxed and carefree expression vanished, replaced by a coldness.
"Those two have set off." After saying that, Ruan Qingyu raised her hand and changed the clothes she wore when resting in the disciple's quarters into the robes she wore when going out, and her protective spirit armor also appeared on her body at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Qingyu appeared at the foot of Xuantian Sect Mountain.
Sensing the feathers she had placed on Cao Yuan and Lin Da, Ruan Qingyu summoned her spirit boat and, with Yun Yin who had jumped aboard, quickly gave chase.
Inside the Xuan Tian Sect, a disciple who had just submitted the task was pleasantly surprised. It was just a simple missing person quest; he had simply happened to run into the two people mentioned in the quest and submitted it without much thought.
"I didn't expect them to be so generous, giving away a hundred contribution points and three hundred spirit stones so casually." As for why they were giving such a large reward after finding someone, that wasn't his concern.
I was just doing a task. I hope all the senior brothers and sisters I meet in the future will be this generous.
Yun Yin sensed the urgency in Ruan Qingyu's expression and couldn't help but say, "Those two were previously at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, and it hasn't even been a month yet, so they certainly won't have improved much."
For Ruan Qingyu now, crushing them would be as easy as others crushing her back then.
Nodding expressionlessly, Ruan Qingyu's anxious expression softened: "A person is dead and that's it. But I'm a little worried about the secret location the two of them are going to."
Those who are lucky will naturally obtain treasures, but those who are unlucky may lose their lives.
"Others may at most possess another body to start over, but you are someone who has reversed time and space. When it comes to luck, you are second to none."
Unexpectedly, Yun Yin showed such a considerate side today. Ruan Qingyu glanced at him, her spiritual energy surging around her.
The spirit boat finally caught up with Linda and Cao Yuan, who were heading to the secret site, an hour later.
To avoid being recognized, the two wore black robes that completely concealed their identities. Unless someone was deliberately investigating, such attire would be easily spotted on the street.
These two people may seem ordinary to others, but to Ruan Qingyu they are like fireflies in the dark.
Her wings have been imbued with her aura, and unless she actively blocks them, her presence can be detected indefinitely.
At this moment, Cao Yuan and Lin Da were moving faster and faster, and the surrounding environment gradually changed from green trees and green mountains to a vast white snowfield.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Da's aura was even stronger, clearly indicating that he was at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Initially, Ruan Qingyu thought he was preparing to enter that secret realm after reaching the Golden Core stage, but now it seemed that the danger level of that secret realm should have decreased somewhat.
The two traveled quickly and did not notice that a little tail was following them.
As they entered the distant snowfields, the two gradually slowed down. Ruan Qingyu's heart stirred, and she put away the spirit boat.
If we were to use the spirit boat again, there was a possibility that we would be discovered.
Cao Yuan looked around; this snowfield had very few plants, and even rocks were scarce. Having walked for almost a day, he was starting to get impatient.
"You still haven't found that place?" Cao Yuan looked at Lin Da, who looked cautious, and thought the man was really slow.
Seeing Cao Yuan's troubled expression, Lin Da nodded cautiously: "It's just a little further on, but I keep feeling like someone is following me."
After saying that, Linda looked around in all directions, but still couldn't see any other cultivators besides the two of them.
Murder and robbery are common occurrences in the cultivation world. Hearing Lin Da's words, Cao Yuan knew the importance of caution. He also held his mind and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense.
“My Golden Core stage divine sense is stronger than yours. I’ve checked once and no one has come near here.” Cao Yuan withdrew his divine sense, becoming increasingly disdainful of Lin Da’s methods.
In the distance, Ruan Qingyu was enveloped in phoenix divine fire, and no divine sense could detect her.
Within his consciousness, Yunyin glanced at the two people on the ground: "I can kill these two right now, and you can simply take their secret tokens and go in."
Shaking her head, Ruan Qingyu refused: "If this secret treasure token is a trap in the early stages, then the two of them can go through it for me first."
Down below, Linda checked again to make sure no one was there, and despite Cao Yuan's impatient gaze, she ultimately stopped observing.
Then, he formed a hand seal and slowly opened his mouth, spitting out a black jade token. It looked very similar to the token that Ruan Qingyu had auctioned at the Xishan Market.
Lin Da, who was standing guard nearby, had a hint of impatience in his eyes. He had thought about finding the secret token and going alone these days, but who knew that Cao Yuan had hidden it so well.
He suppressed the malice in his eyes. Now that the secret treasure was about to be opened, it wasn't impossible to let this person go in with him. The only fear was that he might not make it back alive.
The black jade token rose and fell in the air, and after sensing Linda's spiritual power, it suddenly shot out a dazzling blue light.
Even Ruan Qingyu, who was far away, had to apply a layer of spiritual energy to her eyes to avoid the stinging sensation.
Soon, what appeared before everyone was a circular cavity emitting a faint blue light.
If it weren't for the spiritual energy that constantly dissipates from within, which is much denser than the outside world, this eerie cave entrance would probably be comparable to a demonic cave.
They had been waiting for this day for a very long time. This time, without waiting for Cao Yuan to speak, Lin Da took the lead and walked towards the cave entrance. Seeing this, Lin Da quickly followed.
As the two figures gradually disappeared into the cave entrance, Ruan Qingyu quickly rushed over and entered the cave just before it dissipated and closed.
The cave entrance shook violently, so much so that Lin Da and Cao Yuan, who were walking at the front, both felt the tremors.
They assumed that the spatial passage opened by the Secret Order was not stable enough, so they quickened their pace.
Little did they know, their lives were no longer in their own hands.
Upon entering the secret passage, Ruan Qingyu did not rush to make a move, concealing her presence as she followed the two people in front of her.
As dawn broke, we had truly entered the secret realm.
Ruan Qingyu slowed her breathing and moved slightly closer. Cao Yuan, who had opened the secret realm, said, "This secret realm seems to be a small secret realm left behind by an ancient sect. The first time I came here, I won a battle at the sect's gate. They gave me a Foundation Establishment Pill, which helped me successfully establish my foundation."
Almost as soon as the name of the Foundation Establishment Pill was mentioned, Linda's breathing became heavier: "They gave us the Foundation Establishment Pill for the first trial. If we make it to the next level, we'll probably have plenty of resources."
Linda seemed to already imagine herself holding various resources, and she walked much faster, even using her movement techniques.
Cao Yuan snorted coldly, no longer arguing with Lin Da. Now that he was here, and with his cultivation level a whole realm higher than Lin Da's, he naturally had no fear of him.
Just as the two were about to reach the withered gray wall, they suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from behind them.
Cao Yuan was closest to the source of the fire and reacted the fastest. However, being attacked from both sides, he only had time to release his spiritual energy to offset the damage he had suffered.
Unfortunately, Cao Yuan's hopes were destined to be dashed. The flames swept over and enveloped him completely. No matter what methods he used, or what protective artifacts he activated, it was all in vain.
