Enter the cave.
Shi Xi discovered that the once spotless place had become a mess, and the usually aloof and untainted Yuan Qing Immortal Venerable was lying on the ground, his body slightly hunched over.
As if enduring unbearable pain, Immortal Venerable Yuanqing dug his fingers into the ground, the veins on the back of his long and beautiful hands bulging.
Shi Xi tiptoed and slowly walked towards him.
Shi Xi crouched down. Yuan Qing Immortal Venerable seemed to sense someone's arrival, raised his head, and asked alertly, "Who is it?"
Those who cultivate immortality have far superior senses compared to ordinary people, making it easy for them to detect clues. This is especially true for powerful figures like Immortal Venerable Yuanqing, which is why most actors dare not enter the cultivation world.
For this reason, the actors who play these roles mostly choose to be born from a womb, fully immersing themselves in the small world.
Shi Xi was no exception; in fact, he had been in this plane for nearly a hundred years.
Over this long period of time, Shi Xi had witnessed many cultivators develop inner demons, and she quickly understood the other party's situation.
A hint of darkness flashed in those eyes that were usually calm and emotionless.
"...His Dao heart is unstable?"
"Yes," the system hurriedly replied, also finding it somewhat strange. "Hiss, it shouldn't be this early."
According to the original storyline, when Yuanqing Immortal Venerable was undergoing his tribulation, he learned that no one in this world could successfully ascend. His mind was shaken so violently that his Dao heart went astray.
To solidify his Dao heart, Li Yanci ventured into the Demon Realm and found a treasure... and their relationship gradually warmed up from there.
Yuan Qing tried his best to regulate the chaotic spiritual energy in his body. He knew that there was a problem with his cultivation... The closer he got to the tribulation, the more reluctant he felt inexplicably.
But ascension was something he had longed for for ten thousand years.
Just then, he also sensed a familiar aura.
But he didn't sense any spiritual power; the other party was... an ordinary person.
This is incredibly unbelievable. After all, even the servants who sweep and clean in the Supreme Sword Sect have Foundation Establishment cultivation. How could an ordinary person enter his cave so quietly? Unless the other party is a member of the sect and deliberately concealed his cultivation level.
The aura was familiar, and the person could ignore the restrictions to enter the cave; the newcomer must be his disciple.
"Xi'er, is that you?" Yuan Qing asked, his gaze falling squarely on Shi Xi.
Hearing him ask that question, Shi Xi felt a sense of foreboding. She hadn't expected the other party to guess her identity so quickly.
Despite having been master and disciple for decades (though they hadn't met many times), he knew Yuanqing Immortal Venerable quite well and knew that the other party would definitely not want his Dao bone.
He thought to himself.
This is troublesome.
With the deadline for the storyline fast approaching, the system couldn't help but urge them again.
"Shi Xi, there really isn't any time left."
After a slight hesitation, Shi Xi spoke slowly in Li Yanci's tone, "Master, it's me."
He knew his fellow students very well and could imitate them with ease, so he was confident that no one could tell the difference.
Upon hearing Li Yanci's voice, Yuan Qing frowned slightly.
How could it be Li Yanci...?
Shi Xi helped Yuan Qingxian to his feet, straightened his clothes, and then turned around to pour him a cup of tea.
"Master, have some water."
Yuan Qing lowered her eyes slightly and did not reach out to take it, but simply looked quietly at the cup floating in mid-air.
"..." is hard to fool.
Having exchanged the Transformation Technique with the system, Shi Xi appeared before the Immortal Venerable with the face of Li Yanci—
After thinking for a moment, he imitated how Li Yanci usually treated him and brought the cup to Yuan Qing Immortal Venerable's lips.
"Master, open your mouth."
I thought to myself.
Even if I appeared in front of him, he probably wouldn't recognize me.
Yuan Qing looked at him for a while before reaching out and slowly taking the teacup.
The moment their fingers touched, Shi Xi felt the other person's hand flick slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Then it quickly moved away, as if it were just my imagination.
Yuan Qingqian took a sip, and seeing that he had no intention of taking another sip, Shi Xi took the cup back and put it back on the table.
Yuan Qing watched Shi Xi's movements and subtly flicked his fingertips.
Shi Xi turned around, quietly waiting for the medicine to take effect, but unexpectedly, Immortal Venerable Yuan Qing suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his neck—
Who exactly are you?
"The little thing that sneaked in."
A powerful pressure swept over them, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Shi Xi's mouth... Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing's mind stirred slightly, and he restrained his aura.
Just then, Shi Xi suddenly smiled at him.
Immortal Venerable Yuanqing knew something was wrong. The next second, he felt weak all over and his eyes closed involuntarily.
He didn't drink the tea, so why was he still poisoned?
"Cough cough..."
Shi Xi coughed twice, raised her hand to wipe away the bloodstains, threw the person onto the bed, and then pulled open the other person's outer robe.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan; he didn't put the medicine in the tea, but instead placed it on the side of the cup.
Before falling into a complete coma, Immortal Venerable Yuanqing seemed to hear Li Yanci's slightly apologetic voice—
"...I'm sorry, Master."
Yuanqing Immortal Venerable, who was forced to lie prostrate on the couch, felt angry and ashamed upon hearing this.
What is this lecherous scoundrel trying to do?!
...
"call……"
After successfully transplanting the Dao bone, Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and the notification that the plot point had been completed rang in her ears.
He said to his system, "Erase his memory."
"Okay," the system replied, redeeming a potion from the system shop and applying it to Yuan Qing's forehead.
Shi Xi stood up, picked up the cracked Heavenly Grade Dao Bone from the bed, and left. Like him, Immortal Venerable Yuan Qing also possessed a Heavenly Grade Dao Bone.
However, Yuanqing Immortal Venerable's Dao bones were damaged for various reasons, and he was bound to be unable to withstand the tribulation of ascension. This is why the original owner wanted to give his own Dao bones to him.
After soaking the Dao bone in the spiritual spring, Shi Xi returned to Li Yanci's cave.
Shi Xi squatted down beside Li Yanci, looking at him, such a big person, lying pitifully on the ground, and slowly said—
"Erase his memory as well."
Just as the system was about to do so, it noticed that Li Yanci's eyelashes were trembling, and she had come to her senses.
system:"……"
Tsk, as expected of the cultivation world. In other worlds, he would have been unconscious for three days and three nights, but he woke up in just two hours.
"Senior Brother..." Li Yanci looked confused, as if wondering why he was lying on the ground.
"Finally awake." Shi Xi preemptively asked, "Why did you faint after taking your medicine?"
"Did they drug you?"
Li Yanci blushed and denied it shyly, "No, I didn't put it..."
"There was just one ingredient that's supposed to calm the nerves, and I accidentally added too much."
"..." Shi Xi remained silent.
Was it intentional or accidental?
"Now that you're awake, I'll be leaving." Shi Xi stood up, about to walk away, when she suddenly felt a tightness in her leg.
Shi Xi looked down and, unsurprisingly, saw a handsome face with deep features and a sculpted features.
"Senior Brother~"
Li Yanci hugged Shi Xi's leg, looked up at him and smiled, "How about you stay and recover?"
"I promise I won't do anything else."
