Lost in thought, Lin Fan wandered around the Qingxiao Sect. Disciples from the sect greeted him as they came and went, and he responded politely.
In the evening, he met Chu Yunying at their usual spot. She had changed into a light yellow dress, her face was as beautiful as jade, her lips were as white as rouge, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and her eyes were sparkling.
Her long, flowing black hair swayed slightly, cascading down her back like a waterfall. The light-colored belt tightly bound her slender waist, which could be grasped with one hand, and flowed down her long skirt.
She was tall and slender, her jade-like feet moving sideways, carrying a faint fragrance, like the last rays of the evening sun illuminating a stunning beauty.
They gazed at each other for a few breaths at the agreed location. Lin Fan nodded slightly to her and said, "Junior Sister, let's do... You can focus on your breakthrough. I'll protect you."
He wanted to slap himself hard; he almost blurted out what was on his mind.
He was a hot-blooded young man, and it was normal for him to have some adolescent restlessness. Although his mind might occasionally be a little lewd, his heart was definitely cold.
Without his past life experiences, he might have been moved, even obsessed, but now his heart is ashen and it's hard to rekindle that passion.
Chu Yunying nodded slightly and smiled faintly, as if all the beauty in the world had gathered in her smile. In an instant, the world lost its color, the afterglow fell, and darkness followed.
She sat quietly on a stone slab, facing the cliff, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness. Then she slowly closed her eyes, trying to adjust herself and enter a state of tranquility.
Lin Fan watched her retreating figure, then began to set up talismans and arrays around her.
Normally speaking, Lingzhu Residence is the most suitable, as it is protected by Leng Xingyue and is the safest.
But Chu Yunying chose him. He had no choice; he was paid to do something, and he couldn't refuse. After all, once he got the One Leaf Ice Crystal, he knew there would be a lot of things to do later, so he didn't care about having one more thing to do.
Bored, he squatted on the ground with his sword and drew circles. As he drew more and more circles, he added some lines, and soon he formed a stick figure.
The stick figures he drew were so lifelike that he was somewhat impressed with himself. He could only say he was born in the wrong place; if he were on Earth, he would definitely be a master of comics or animation.
After Chu Yunying took the Breakthrough Pill, her aura suddenly increased. She made a flower-picking gesture with her hands, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged in and merged into her body.
The spiritual energy circulated rapidly through her meridians, slowly merging into her body, and then transformed into spiritual power, which flowed through her meridians like a stream and gathered in her dantian.
The dantian is the sea of qi, where a massive amount of spiritual energy is condensed. It needs to be tempered and fused before it can finally be transformed into a golden core, allowing one to break through to the Golden Core realm.
Watching her steadily increasing aura, Lin Fan turned around, frowned, and felt that she was being a bit too hasty.
Is it possible that geniuses always have to take unconventional paths, wanting to break through conventions and achieve breakthroughs?
Lin Fan dared not be careless in the slightest, keeping his eyes fixed on her. Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was not easy, and even the most monstrous genius could not be certain that he could do it in one go.
Some geniuses may even be too hasty, or due to other factors, their meridians may be destroyed, or they may even suffer serious injuries and die.
Chu Yunying's pretty face slightly furrowed, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, an accident had occurred during the process of condensing the golden core.
Noticing that her breathing had become disordered, Lin Fan's expression was quite interesting. Could it be that she had encountered a demon in her heart?
He could keenly sense that her state of mind was very unstable. Breaking through a realm was similar to regular meditation. If inner demons arose, they would affect her state of mind at crucial moments, which could be fatal.
Chu Yunying's identity is pitiful, and her terrible experiences shaped her personality, but very few people know that she has inner demons.
He's read at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, novels; you can guess without even thinking.
Those who have experienced the massacre of their entire family will inevitably have mental problems. They will either become bloodthirsty maniacs or suppress themselves in daily life, but their inner demons will grow stronger day by day.
Chu Yunying is the latter, unless she has no heart and no emotions.
Lin Fan was considering whether to help her, but seeing that she was about to fail and couldn't hold on any longer, he could only sigh and decide to help her anyway.
If she suffers a setback as a result, becomes despondent, or even dies, it would not only waste a breakthrough pill but also lose a powerful fighter.
He then sat down next to Chu Yunying, gently took her hand, and began to circulate his divine sense towards her.
Chu Yunying sensed a divine consciousness intruding into her sea of consciousness and was about to retaliate when her voice rang out.
"Junior sister, it's me!"
This was his divine sense transmission. Chu Yunying was slightly stunned as his divine sense gathered and enveloped hers.
"Don't be afraid, I'm always here. Your inner demons are nothing to be afraid of!"
Chu Yunying trembled slightly, and a blush quickly spread across her fair and flawless face. She did not resist, but was extremely embarrassed.
Lin Fan was no saint. While he could still control himself and before he turned into a beast, he reminded him:
"Calm your mind and break through the demonic barrier!"
Chu Yunying tried to calm herself down. Scenes of her family being wiped out and the terror of her enemies kept flashing through her mind.
He struggled to regain his composure from the devastating news and fear, and then resolutely swung his sword to strike.
An unparalleled sword intent surged forth, unstoppable, destroying the illusion of inner demons and causing all illusions to dissipate.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and reluctantly withdrew his divine sense.
Damn, no wonder so many people with kidney deficiency, once they start, find it hard to stop. The tactile stimulation and numbing of their nerves is even more exhilarating than riding a roller coaster.
Chu Yunying held her breath and calmed her mind to condense her golden core when he completely withdrew his divine sense.
Her skin flushed a faint blush, as if burning with passion, an irresistible urge.
boom
A powerful aura spread out, and Chu Yunying also broke through the bottleneck and successfully fused with the Golden Core. The powerful force surged uncontrollably, causing Lin Fan to take several steps back.
Fortunately, the formation he set up could withstand the impact of the Golden Core Realm cultivator; otherwise, the commotion here would definitely have attracted the attention of the sect's experts.
Under the moonlight, in the places where the light couldn't reach, the grass rustled, and some dewdrops gathered on it. Chu Yunying opened her eyes, feeling something strange and a little uncomfortable.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister, on successfully breaking through to the Golden Core stage!" Lin Fan straightened his clothes and said with a smile.
Chu Yunying blushed and stood up, trying to take a few steps, but her legs were weak and she fell towards Lin Fan, crashing heavily into his chest.
Lin Fan hurriedly hugged her, and a faint fragrance mixed with the scent of sweat wafted into his nostrils. The unique scent of the young girl instantly made his blood boil and his mouth dry.
"You're tempting cadres like this? Who can resist!"
"Senior brother, your sword is touching me." Her voice was barely audible, and her face was burning hot, almost steaming.
Lin Fan blushed slightly and used his recoil control skill to help her up.
"Now that my junior sister is alright, I shall take my leave."
He released Chu Yunying and fled in a disheveled state. It was too embarrassing. His gun was pinned down, and he was caught red-handed by his junior sister. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Thankfully, my junior sister didn't show any disgust. She probably didn't know what it was, after all, she's only sixteen or seventeen years old. She might have mistaken it for my sword. She's never seen a real gun before! She's still very naive.
"Simple my foot! She was playing with fire just now and almost set it on fire. She was inciting someone to commit a crime!"
Lin Fan roared inwardly, then found a waterfall to wash his body and calm down, the scalding beast blood slowly subsiding.
"Hey, I should see her less often in the future!" He washed his body, their minds embracing. This trust was even higher than that between a Daoist partner. Once the sea of consciousness let down its guard, it was as if he had handed his life over to the other person.
Most importantly, she didn't resist or show any displeasure. In that situation, even if you forced her to pull out a gun and have a real battle for a night, you probably wouldn't encounter any obstacles. Maybe your junior sister would even cooperate and guide you.
The fact that Chu Yunying was trustworthy relieved him. With Long Aotian losing a capable assistant, gradually dismantling and defeating him should be able to rewrite the ending.
Ding: Congratulations, host, for helping Chu Yunying break through to the Golden Core Realm. Chu Yunying's favorability +5, and you are rewarded with Golden Core Realm cultivation.
Buzz
His aura surged slightly, water droplets flew everywhere, and the spiritual power in his dantian fused into a golden core, raising his realm and directly breaking through to the Golden Core Realm!
Lin Fan took a step forward, his body standing horizontally in the void, a sign of the Golden Core Realm.
Standing in mid-air, feeling his power surge, he stretched comfortably. The system was really good; he didn't even need to cultivate his realm himself, it was like a cheat code. Others struggled their whole lives to reach a certain realm, but he achieved it in a flash.
Wait a minute, something seems off!
"System, didn't you say there was no favorability feature?"
In response to his question, the system replied emotionlessly: "I am a proper villain system, not a romance harem system. Please do not focus on such minor details!"
Holy crap!
Lin Fan cursed inwardly, "This damn system not only loves to cause trouble, but it's also so unreliable. No wonder it can't beat the protagonist system. I really can't have too much hope for it."
"May I ask what realm Long Aotian is in?"
Long Aotian was stripped of his status as a personal disciple, so in theory it would be difficult for them to have any further interaction. However, as the protagonist, he is destined to rise again and slap everyone in the face.
He couldn't deliberately pay attention to Long Aotian, giving the other party the wrong impression that he no longer cared about him, so that Long Aotian could continue to develop in a lowly manner.
"Foundation Establishment Stage, Level 5!" the system replied.
Lin Fan gasped. Was this guy on some kind of adrenaline rush or drugs? He was so powerful.
In just two or three days, he has progressed from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level. At this rate, he will probably break through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages very soon.
As expected of the eldest son, who is favored by Heaven, he can't bear to see his son suffer, so he's started chasing after him to feed him.
"After three months, can you roughly deduce what realm he will be in?" Lin Fan continued to ask.
"Minimum level nine of the Golden Core stage!"
He rolled his eyes and decided not to ask. In his previous life, Long Aotian was also a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator in the sect competition. He was exceptionally talented and his reputation resounded throughout the sect.
Otherwise, how could he have had a harem in the Qingxiao Sect in his previous life, carrying a gun and firing cannons everywhere!
The deafening roar of artillery fire left the male disciples of the Qingxiao Sect feeling betrayed and unable to speak out against it.
