When Liu Yunqing first met Ruan Qing, he only thought that she was clever and arrogant, with some willful little flaws, and he was grateful that Daoist Wenxi chose to tolerate her.
After spending a little more time together, Liu Yunqing realized that the other person wasn't being arrogant at all, but rather being awkward.
Liu Yunqing discovered that Ruan Qing could maintain a friendly and amicable relationship with anyone except herself, but she was always sarcastic and unfriendly towards him.
Judging from this situation, Ruan Qing should really hate herself, but Liu Yunqing found that this was not the case.
Because Liu Yunqing always unintentionally discovered that Ruan Qing was secretly glancing at her and observing her.
At this moment, Ruan Qing's expression was more one of curiosity than unfriendly sarcasm. If they accidentally met eyes, Ruan Qing would quickly purse her lips and turn her face away.
Given that these actions only affected Ruan Qing's own emotions and did not cause any trouble for the team, Liu Yunqing was too lazy to investigate and simply pretended not to know.
For Liu Yunqing, whether others like her or not is not important; what matters is whether she is reliable in handling matters.
Back in his living room, after activating the formation, Liu Yunqing first circulated his spiritual energy for two cycles to complete his daily basic cultivation before flashing into the space.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Jinru, you've finally arrived!"
"You've left me, a young dragon, here all alone, aren't you afraid I'll be bullied?"
As soon as Liu Yunqing entered the space, Xiao Jiao pounced on him and clung to him, muttering complaints.
"No one will bully you, because there is only one tree and one spirit here."
As Liu Yunqing spoke, she pulled Xiao Jiao away, looked her over, and asked if she was feeling unwell.
Mentioning this, Xiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly shook her head, saying:
"No, it's so comfortable here! Even more comfortable than living in the secret realm. The only downside is that there's no water."
As she spoke, Xiao Jiao's eyes lit up. She wrapped her arms around Liu Yunqing's arm, nuzzled his face with her dragon head, and said coquettishly:
"Zhenru, can I dig a lake in here for you? I really want to play in the water~~~!"
Knowing that Liu Yunqing would be its only support from then on, Xiao Jiao used all the same tactics she had used on Gu Dai on Liu Yunqing.
It and Liu Yunqing had signed an equal contract, and the two could not harm each other and could trust each other.
With this safe relationship, Liu Yunqing was relaxed and happy to accept Xiao Jiao's coquettishness.
However, Liu Yunqing is not yet capable of creating a lake within the Golden Crow Ring.
"Little Jin, can we dig lakes inside the space in the future?"
Little Gold was about to be happy that its owner had finally remembered it, but before it could even feel happy, it discovered that its owner had remembered it to fulfill someone else's wish.
After taking a small bite, Little Gold transformed into the form of a golden crow and landed in Liu Yunqing's outstretched palm, saying:
"There's no need to dig. Once the master's cultivation level is higher and the five elements inside this mustard seed are more complete, it will naturally be there. Otherwise, digging it up will be in vain."
Well, it's her cultivation level that's too low again.
Liu Yunqing spread his hands and said to Xiao Jiao:
"There's no other way."
Xiao Jiao said with some disdain:
"Then you should cultivate diligently! You have so many good things, and with your small bodies, if you eat them all, your cultivation level will rise in no time!"
Liu Yunqing rolled her eyes at it and said irritably:
"With our small bodies, if we ate it all, it would explode with a 'bang'!"
However, Xiao Jiao is right; she really should start cultivating.
However, it's not about advancing in cultivation level, but rather about things other than cultivation itself, which we should learn properly.
Moreover, advancing to the Golden Core stage is not like advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, where one can break through the barrier and advance as long as enough spiritual energy is accumulated.
Starting from the Golden Core stage, with each subsequent major advancement, in addition to the accumulation of spiritual power, the requirements for the mental state at the critical juncture of breaking through the barriers will gradually increase.
At this point, simply accumulating spiritual power is useless; on the contrary, one might gain some insights from learning miscellaneous cultivation methods from others.
Upon considering this, Liu Yunqing thought of refining his natal magic weapon and began to formulate a plan.
"You stay here and cultivate. I'll come find you to play when I have some free time."
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he prepared to leave the space, but the next moment his arm was entangled by a tree branch.
The voice of the Fusang Sacred Tree came from a corner:
"Master, take this with you. The Fusang Divine Tree nourishes Yang and calms the mind, and can overcome Yin and evil."
As he spoke, five leaves from the Fusang Divine Tree floated lightly into Liu Yunqing's palm, radiating a shimmering golden glow with a hint of green.
Liu Yunqing gathered the leaves, looked curiously at the corner where the Fusang Divine Tree was, and asked Xiao Jin:
"Why did it choose such a spot to plant itself?"
Xiao Jin shook his head and said:
"I don't know, maybe that location is suitable for its growth."
Liu Yunqing nodded, no longer delving into these trivial details, and slipped back to her room.
Before she could even settle in, Liu Yunqing sensed someone outside the isolation formation.
Liu Yunqing waved his hand to activate the formation, and saw Zhuo Ying lying at his door, studying something with a blank and confused look on his face.
"What are you doing, Fellow Daoist Zhuo Ying?"
Zhuo Ying looked up and saw that Liu Yunqing looked even more confused.
Without any sense of embarrassment, Zhuo Ying got up from the ground, brushing the dust off her clothes as she said to Liu Yunqing:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, my isolation formation is truly amazing."
Liu Yunqing was puzzled, and Zhuo Ying, equally curious, continued:
“I was just passing by your room, but I couldn’t sense your presence at all. It was as if you were separated from another realm.”
After saying this, Zhuo Ying looked straight at Liu Yunqing with bright black eyes, eagerly awaiting an answer.
To be honest, Liu Yunqing and Zhuo Ying weren't very close. If it weren't for the younger generation taking sides this time, Liu Yunqing wouldn't even know that she was also a true disciple.
Since joining Liu Yunqing's team, the two have never had a private chat. Most of the time, Zhuo Ying is very quiet and just stays in the corner, doing whatever is asked of her.
Liu Yunqing did not answer her question immediately, but just looked at her.
Zhuo Ying paused for a moment, as if realizing something, then regained her composure and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spy. It's just that I've never seen such a powerful isolation formation before, and I'm really curious."
Liu Yunqing nodded in understanding, but did not continue to talk about the formation. After exchanging a few polite words, they each returned to their rooms.
Liu Yunqing calmly closed the door, but the serious expression on her face as she turned around revealed the turmoil in her heart.
What Zhuo Ying sensed was not an isolation array, but clearly the aura of the Golden Crow Space fluctuations.
No wonder she is a true disciple. Ordinary people, let alone those powerful ancestors, cannot sense the space within her.
Liu Yunqing told Xiao Jin about this in her mind, but Xiao Jin calmly replied:
"The Zhuo Ying that Master mentioned must have some special physique, such as a natural array body or something, otherwise it would be impossible for him to sense the space."
"But Master, you don't need to worry. As long as your cultivation level is no lower than hers, she will never be able to see through you."
