Mu Jixue bared her tiger teeth, and with a huff, she pounced on Lin Zhongyu, causing the two beautiful girls to roll around on the bed.
If this were a game scene, it would definitely be a stunning CG image.
Mu Jixue pinched Lin Zhongyu’s waist, and the tickling sensation made her beg for mercy, asking Mu Jixue to stop.
“Xue’er, stop, stop, stop, stop. I’m just trying to help you get used to life at the Xuantian Sect sooner. You can’t sleep in there.”
“But you can’t scare me like that either, Xiao Yu is bad!”
Although Mu Jixue was discontented, she was only pretending to be angry.
She cherished Lin Zhongyu and would never truly get mad at her.
This was more like playful banter between sisters.
However, their intertwined thighs occasionally revealed a picturesque scene.
Lin Zhongyu: “Alright, Xue’er, stop bullying me. Once we’re at the Xuantian Sect, you’ll have to wake up by yourself.”
Mu Jixue pouted: “No way, as long as Xiao Yu is here, everything will be fine. If not, I’ll ask my master to let you into the Xuantian Sect as well.”
Mu Jixue was admitted to the sect as an elder’s personal disciple, which was different from others.
If she wanted to, she could easily bring an extra person into the sect.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Zhongyu fell silent, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
It was then that Mu Jixue realized she had said something wrong.
Ah, how could she be so silly?
Offering a backdoor for Xiao Yu wouldn’t make her happy; instead, it would make her feel like she had lost her self-respect.
Mu Jixue was really crying over her own foolishness.
She was indeed not thinking clearly when she first woke up and was prone to saying the wrong things.
After realizing her mistake, Mu Jixue couldn’t help but shrink back, her tone becoming much softer, completely different from when she was playfully wrestling just now.
But Lin Zhongyu just smiled and said, “Xue’er, don’t blame yourself. I know you meant well, and I won’t hold it against you.”
Now that her emotional knot had been untied, she was no longer so sensitive.
Gently holding Mu Jixue’s hand, she said, “I will definitely enter the Xuantian Sect by my own strength and then meet up with you. Just you wait.”
With that, a pure and powerful spiritual energy flowed from Lin Zhongyu’s hand into Mu Jixue’s.
Mu Jixue was astonished: “Xiao Yu, you’re already at the seventh level of Qi Refining?!”
She was overjoyed.
Although she had known about Lin Zhongyu’s talent recovery, it would still take quite some time to catch up on the progress she had missed.
Mu Jixue had thought that Lin Zhongyu wouldn’t make it to the disciple selection ceremony, but she didn’t expect her cultivation to improve so quickly!
The seventh level of Qi Refining was a fairly good level in the city of Cangzhou.
With some effort, there might really be a chance to enter the Xuantian Sect.
Overwhelmed with joy, Mu Jixue threw herself at Lin Zhongyu and hugged her tightly.
“That’s great! That’s great! Xiao Yu! This means we can be together again, right?”
Lin Zhongyu’s face also flushed with excitement as she nodded, “With some hard work, it should be possible. To be on the safe side, I need to intensify my cultivation these days. Moreover, there will be a trial-by-combat platform at the disciple selection ceremony, and I need to choose a suitable weapon to get used to in advance.”
“Then let’s go to the market today?”
“Sure, I was thinking the same thing.”
“That’s great, then I’ll go change clothes right away.”
Mu Jixue, like a child who never grew up, was overjoyed at the prospect of going out shopping. She trotted back to her room to change first.
Her face was beaming with joy, but once she returned to her room, her smile gradually faded.
“There’s a strange smell on Xiao Yu,” Mu Jixue muttered to herself.
When she hugged Lin Zhongyu just now, she sensed someone else’s presence.
It felt odd because she had slept with Xiao Yu last night.
How could Xiao Yu have picked up someone else’s scent?
She felt deceived.
Xiao Yu’s sudden rapid cultivation seemed a bit off. Of course, she wasn’t jealous or doubting Xiao Yu’s abilities; she was just afraid that Xiao Yu might be taken advantage of.
After all, Xiao Yu was so innocent and kind-hearted, easily becoming a target for others. Only she could protect her.
“Could it be that man…” Mu Jixue’s mind conjured up Yun Zhonghe’s face.
For some reason, she had an indescribable sense of discord.
It even made her feel anxious and uneasy.
Combined with the prophecy from the Book of Prophecy……………Mu Jixue felt like a small, helpless animal encountering a predator.
“What exactly happened to Xiao Yu? It would be great if the Book of Prophecy were still here………………” Thinking of this, Mu Jixue felt very down.
The lost Book of Prophecy still hadn’t been found.
If the Book of Prophecy were still here, perhaps it would reveal what had happened to Xiao Yu……”No, I can’t think like this. I should trust Xiao Yu.”
Mu Jixue shook her head, trying to rid herself of these wild thoughts.
As the only person supporting Xiao Yu, how could she not trust her?
It was just a strange scent; perhaps Xiao Yu had picked it up accidentally while exercising in the morning.
Mu Jixue managed to convince herself, and her mood improved significantly.
Her movements while changing clothes also became lighter.
Compared to the troubled Mu Jixue, Yun Zhonghe was in high spirits.
After ending his meeting with Lin Zhongyu last night, he was so excited thinking about the smooth progress that he couldn’t sleep.
So he continued to practice swordsmanship.
He managed to bring the proficiency of the “Nine Heavenly Swords” to a perfect level.
To master a set of swordsmanship in just one day would surely astonish even the elders of the Xuantian Sect.
But it was normal.
After all, in his previous life, Yun Zhonghe was a gaming expert, and swords were his strongest weapon in the game.
He was very familiar with the key points of all swordsmanship moves.
As long as he got used to the actual operation, he could quickly get the hang of it.
That’s why he was so confident that he could perfect both sets of swordsmanship before executing the town mission.
“Having practiced for so long, it’s time to take a break. It just so happens that it’s already dawn, and the market is open. This is a good opportunity to check it out.”
To prepare for the town mission, Yun Zhonghe needed to make some preparations in advance. He also wanted to find a prop that was important in the early stages.
In the original game, as a novice village, the city of Cangzhou only produced first-grade (human rank) and second-grade (yellow rank) props.
However, in the market, there was a certain probability of triggering a hidden plot for third-grade (mystic rank) props.
Third-grade (mystic rank) props were rare and highly valuable here.
Even the Yun family, with all their wealth, might not possess one.
Yun Zhonghe remembered that the hidden prop in the city of Cangzhou was a plant called Bingxincao, which grew near the grass scorched by thunder.
 Moreover, it had to be formed by a thunderbolt from a cultivation level above the Soul Infant stage.
The iceheart grass is of little use to ordinary cultivators, so it is easily overlooked.
However, for Mu Jixue, who has an ice affinity spiritual root, it is extremely useful.
The iceheart grass can permanently increase the cultivation speed of cultivators with an ice affinity spiritual root by ten percent and also increase the probability of forming a nine-pattern golden core during the formation of the golden core stage.
Now that Yun Zhonghe’s cultivation is linked with that of Huang Ao tian, if he can obtain the iceheart grass and give it to Huang Ao tian, it would be equivalent to a significant enhancement of Yun Zhonghe’s own potential.
Even if it’s not to ingratiate himself with Huang Ao tian, for his own sake, Yun Zhonghe must find a way to get his hands on it.
