"System, raise your cultivation to Golden Core Perfection."
Bai Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, and his cultivation began to rise rapidly until his golden elixir was perfected and then slowly stopped.
He opened his eyes and carefully felt the power contained in his body.
After the golden elixir was perfected, he could clearly feel that both the soul-tempering method and the body-tempering method had been greatly improved. Even without using the formation, he could now compete with the cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Even if he encounters a witch, he will be able to fight her off with the help of formations.
However, the prerequisite is that the demon girl's strength and cultivation have not improved much during this period of time.
“I really hope that the future can be as peaceful as this period.”
During these three months, no son of luck showed up, no demon caused any trouble, and under his careful precautions, the system also remained silent, and did not give him any luck points during these three months.
During these three months, Bai Yumo, who had learned the body-building method, had already reached the Golden Core Perfection, Luo Chen had also successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and even Lin Yan had some adventures during this period, breaking through to the Golden Core Perfection a few days earlier than him.
In fact, considering his talent, it would be better for him to break through to the Golden Core Perfection a few months later. However, Zhongzhou and Beiyu seem to have the intention of cooperating recently, and something big may happen later. To be on the safe side, he chose to break through to the Golden Core Perfection in advance.
For this purpose, he even went into seclusion for seven days, prepared several expensive pills, and pretended to be practicing very hard.
"The retreat is over, it's time to leave."
Bai Feng stretched, closed the formation and opened the door. He saw Bai Yumo sitting in the living room. She seemed to have sensed the fluctuations of the formation and her eyes were already on his door.
"Brother, congratulations on reaching the Golden Core Perfection!" She stood up, suppressed her inner excitement, and walked to Bai Feng with a smile, "Is there anything you want to eat? Let's celebrate tonight."
"Just have a normal meal." Bai Feng waved his hand. "When you reached the Golden Core Perfection before, didn't we celebrate specially?"
Bai Yumo shook her head and retorted, "It's different. I didn't stay in seclusion for as long as you did."
"I've only been in seclusion for seven days, right? Normally, that's already pretty fast! Do you think everyone can be like you and achieve a breakthrough in one night?"
Bai Feng couldn't help but complain. He even felt that his retreat time was a bit short. For most people, it couldn't even be called retreat. It should be extended for a few more days, maybe half a month before coming out.
"Well, seven days is a long time. One morning, I got up to cook, but halfway through, I remembered that you were in seclusion. No one helped me taste the new recipes I learned, and the house was empty and deserted..." Bai Yumo muttered softly as if she was complaining.
"But before I joined the Tianjian Sect, you had already lived alone for a long time..."
Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Bai Yumo interrupted him and said, "I'm used to it, and I don't want to go back to being alone."
"Oh no, could it be that after seven days of seclusion, Bai Yumo's mood has started to become unstable?"
Thinking about the fact that the system had not seized any opportunity in the past three months and was already eager to take action, Bai Feng reached out and grabbed Bai Yumo's wrist, not intending to give the system even a chance!
"Let's go, we'll have a good meal tonight and I'll help."
After saying that, he dragged Bai Yumo to the kitchen without saying a word.
In the kitchen, Bai Feng looked at the large amount of ingredients that Bai Yumo had prepared in advance and pondered for a few seconds. It could be seen that she was really looking forward to him ending his retreat as soon as possible: "How about we have hot pot tonight."
"Hmm..." Bai Yumo nodded, then she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Brother, when you go into seclusion in the future, can I practice with you in seclusion?"
Bai Feng subconsciously looked up at her. If he remembered correctly, in most cases only Taoist couples would go into seclusion together, right?
After all, when in seclusion, most people concentrate on practicing and breaking through in a safe environment, and most of the time they are in a private cave, so their defenses against the outside world will naturally be reduced, so only two people with a very close relationship will go into seclusion together.
He reached out his hand and tapped Bai Yumo's forehead: "What do you think about every day?"
Bai Yumo put her hand on her forehead and retorted somewhat dissatisfiedly: "What does it matter? We are siblings who grew up together. To be honest, isn't our relationship much closer than those Taoist couples?"
"What you said makes sense, but let's not talk about it!" Bai Feng refused without hesitation, "Not everything in this world can be done just by saying we are close friends."
But this time, Bai Yumo seemed to have accumulated some emotions because she hadn't seen him for seven days, and she didn't give up: "It's just a retreat for cultivation, not a wedding."
Bai Feng was a little helpless, but when he thought about the system still watching closely, he could only continue to persuade: "It has been like this since ancient times, and everyone has formed a fixed concept. If other people really know that you and I are practicing in seclusion together, I am used to rumors, but can you think about how others will look at you?"
"Has it been right since ancient times?" Bai Yumo lowered her head and muttered softly.
Bai Feng stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. Logically speaking, after so much time had passed, Bai Yumo's guilt and insecurity should have subsided, right? Why did it feel like it had worsened after his seven days of seclusion?
"...I was wrong." He sighed and reached out to touch Bai Yumo's head. "Next time I won't be in seclusion for such a long time, okay? If I stay in seclusion for more than seven days next time, how about I let you do whatever you want?"
“…”
Bai Yumo suddenly fell silent, then she shook her head, as if she had regained her sanity. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was too unreasonable. Please pretend that I didn't say anything, and let's continue cooking."
After hearing her apology, Bai Feng became even more panicked.
This is simply a sign that the system is giving him extra luck points!
"Wait!" He seemed to have made up his mind, "Let's go together next time during the retreat."
"real?"
Bai Yumo raised her head with a look of disbelief on her face, as if she didn't understand why Bai Feng suddenly changed his mind.
Bai Feng nodded: "I thought about it carefully, it's just practicing together. Didn't we often discuss our practice experiences and even practice together in the living room before?"
"Well! Then we have a deal!"
Although Bai Yumo felt that Bai Feng's reason was a bit far-fetched, after all, he had just refused so firmly, but this matter was not important.
The key point is that Bai Feng agreed to practice in seclusion together.
"Let's continue cooking."
Bai Feng felt a little relieved, he had finally managed to fool the person.
In order to prevent the system from stuffing up his luck value, he took the risk. At worst, he wouldn't have to practice in seclusion for a while!
As long as Bai Yumo's guilt and sense of security disappear in the future, she probably won't care about such things anymore.
