I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 44, Section 43: Fairy Serving, Dual Cultivation of Demonic and Taoist Arts! (12)

Inside the corridor.

Chen Ran lay sprawled on the ground, hands behind his head, enjoying the fairy's gentle care.

"Young master, is that so?"

Xiao Xiyue sat with her beautiful legs folded across her body, her snow-white hands shimmering with spiritual light as she used a cleansing spell to wipe the young man's head.

"Will this be comfortable?"

She raised her beautiful, blushing face and asked softly.

It seems she really wants the approval of her sweetheart.

"Ah."

Chen Ran sat up and gently stroked the fairy's disheveled hair. "While this will certainly achieve a cleaning effect, if you want to use yours as I said before..."

No, you can't.

Xiao Xiyue quickly shook her head to interrupt, her ears turning red: "There are some things you don't need to mention anymore, young master. Xiyue really can't do it, it's too embarrassing. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, the days are long."

Chen Ran patted the fairy's face, shook his head, and stood up.

Just about to stretch—

"hiss."

A dull ache came from my lower back.

"Ah, young master, you're injured!?"

Xiao Xiyue then noticed the shocking bloodstains on her beloved's waist, and her pretty face changed color.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Ran waved his hand, "Just now, when I was fighting with that fallen monk Xuanbei, I was caught in the demonic vines on his body, but I'm fine."

Without a word, Xiao Xiyue flipped her hand, forming a healing spell, and gently touched the wound.

"Young master, does it hurt?"

"A little," Chen Ran said with a smile, "but if I told you I enjoy it, would you believe me?"

He wasn't just showing off when he said that.

Since his transmigration, he has always sought stability and has never suffered any setbacks or injuries.

This gave him a somewhat surreal, game-like feeling.

Now, feeling the burning pain in his body, he had an even more real sense of reality—

This is the real world now.

This is still my own physical body from Earth!
While the two were talking.

The burning pain in my side has quietly subsided.

Chen Ran looked down and saw that the blood stasis on his waist was fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Your Cihang Sword Sect's 'Qingxuan Healing Technique' is truly a unique skill in the Nine Provinces."

Chen Ran looked into the fairy's eyes and sincerely admired her.

"Hehe, the sect's magic is indeed powerful, but..."

The usually gentle and dignified Fairy Xiao playfully stuck out her tongue: "With Xi Yue's skillful control, we'll achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"Is such that."

Chen Ran gently rubbed the fairy's head, his gaze inadvertently shifting downwards, where he caught a glimpse of her snow-white neck.
What a pity.

If you get a little closer to that Holy Maiden of the Cangming Sect, you can join the sect.

"Hey, young master, is your knife broken?"

Xiao Xiyue crouched down, her beautiful eyes fixed on the gray-black short sword at the young man's waist.

The blade was a dull gray, with fine grinding marks along the edge, and a small chip near the hilt.

Chen Ran shook his head slightly: "Those demonic vines are even tougher than refined iron. I chopped at them more than a dozen times, and the knife is like this now."

This short knife was a gift from his beggar friend, Zhou Cheng.

For a long time, he thought it was just an ordinary knife.

But now, considering the circumstances of its use and Zhou Cheng's true identity, we can basically draw a conclusion.

This is by no means an ordinary knife, but...
The "Human Emperor's Calamity-Suppressing Blade," one of the ten lost divine artifacts recorded in the game's "Treasure Compendium," has been passed down through generations of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Coincidentally, his swordsmanship level in the game was inherited by him in the form of "sword intent" after he traveled through time.

Thus, the sword intent he possessed from the start, combined with this treasured sword, allowed him, with his mortal body, to slit the throat of Lin Yuewei, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, atop Tiandang Peak.

"However, it seems that this thing is not fully sharpened yet. It will need to be worked out more before it can show its true form."

Chen Ran gently stroked the ancient blade, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

“Young Master,” seeing the young man’s solemn expression, Xiao Xiyue said, “Why don’t you come back to Cihang Sword Hall with me? I’ll give this sword to the senior sisters at the Weapon Forging Workshop. They are experts in restoring ancient weapons and will surely be able to restore it to its original state!”

"It won't be so troublesome."

Chen Ran pulled the fairy into his arms and kissed her forehead: "When we reach the next stop, the Chu Kingdom, I will hand it over to the spirit craftsmen of the Heavenly Craft Workshop. It's just a matter of spending some spirit stones."

That's exactly what he planned to do.

According to his "Speedy Ascension to Immortality Plan," before entering Shu, he would pass through Chu, where he would encounter three other female protagonists and tearfully accept the opportunities they offered.

As one of the most powerful vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, the Chu Kingdom also had the largest capital city, Tiangongfang.

Previously, he accidentally "fell in love" with Cai Yukun of the Qionghua School while using a flying shuttle.

The tail fin was also badly damaged by the "Jade Kirin" and urgently needs repair.

"Fortunately, Sister Yan left me enough start-up capital."

Thinking of that wealthy woman from Tai'an City, Chen Ran felt a warmth rise in his heart once again.

Yes, when we meet again in the capital, I must repay her properly.

"Yes, I will follow your arrangements, young master."

Xiao Xiyue nodded, but finally couldn't help asking, "Young Master, what exactly is the Heavenly Demon you mentioned earlier? And what is its relationship with Xuanbei, the founder of the Golden Sandalwood Temple?"

“This matter is not urgent and is temporarily irrelevant to us.” Chen Ran raised his hand and summoned the “Golden Bowl of Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage” from the Xuanwu Cauldron.

"call out."

The moment the golden bowl hit the ground, it immediately released a warm golden barrier ten feet wide.

The sparse spiritual energy in the passageway gathered like a tide, and the concentration of spiritual power in the barrier instantly increased several times over.

Chen Ran sat cross-legged in the center of the barrier and took out two more martial arts manuals.

It is the "Nine Netherworld Profound Ice Scripture" created by the ancient demonic master "Xuanmingzi".

And the "Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique" left behind by the first righteous sect leader of Shu Mountain, who was as famous as the Kunlun Mystic Maiden.

In fact, since ancient times, countless powerful ancestors of the human race have explored the path of cultivating both demonic and Taoist arts and unifying all methods.

By the time Xuanbei lived, he had summarized the experiences and lessons of countless predecessors.

As it turned out, his approach was correct, but he made a crucial mistake by being misled by the lingering resentment of the Heavenly Demon, which ultimately benefited him, the transmigrator.

"Young master, are you seeking to 'enter the Dao'? Here?"

Xiao Xiyue squatted down and carefully examined the two cultivation manuals.

Chen Ran nodded and said, "That's right. I now have the cultivation of the peak of Foundation Establishment, but this is because of the 'Yin Yang Crossing Calamity True Technique' shared with you. If you are not by my side, the Cihang True Essence in my body will disappear."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. What's important is..."

"Even if we join forces, it won't be enough to wipe out all the enemies outside."

"Enemies?" Xiao Xiyue asked in surprise, "Aren't there only the Holy Maiden and the sleeping Senior Pei outside?"

"If I'm not mistaken, those lousy guys should all be here by now," Chen Ran said. "Alright, no need to ask any more questions. Although time flows twelve times faster in this passage than outside, I don't know if it'll be enough for me to break through the thresholds of these two major cultivation techniques in one go. Anyway—"

"Fairy, please protect me!"

"OK!"

The "slow" area outside the passageway.

The three groups of people stood facing each other coldly.

At the portal behind.

Liu Mubai, Zhang Ruoxu, and Shen Yufeng, three newly formed young prodigies, glared menacingly at each other.

On a platform above the cave, the monks of Jintan Temple, led by Abbot Shiyan, also had strange and cunning looks in their eyes.

At the very front, near the edge of the cliff overlooking the lava pool,

Cangming Saintess Luo Yuling stood guard beside the sleeping white-clad female sword immortal, her expression indifferent, as if the people behind her did not exist.

"Hey, Abbot Shiyan, what are you doing? Hmm?"

Among the three-person alliance team, Liu Mubai, the leader of the Qinglan Immortal Sect, sneered: "It was agreed that this Golden Sandalwood Secret Realm was to be handed over to the young prodigies of our righteous path for trials. What brings you, a senior, here?"

"No way, Abbot Shiyan."

Shen Yufeng, the one-armed senior disciple of the Penglai Sect, chimed in, "A highly respected senior of the righteous path like you, do you intend to personally step into the fray and compete with us juniors for the secret treasure? Wouldn't that be far too disgraceful?"

"Fellow Daoists, please say no more."

Zhang Ruoxu, the youngest and chief disciple of Tianyong City, stared intently at the open bronze double-fish gate in the distance: "It seems that guy has already gone in with the Xuan Tian Key. What we need to do..."

"It's just a matter of waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump. As for who will ultimately get the Twin Soul Fruit, that's a matter for later, isn't it?"

"Amitabha."

The old monk Shi Yan clasped his hands together and said, "What Junior Nephew Zhang said is quite right, however..."

He looked at the unmoving Demonic Saintess on the cliff edge, a sinister glint flashing across her kind, round face: "Before we catch that 'rabbit,' shouldn't we, as righteous cultivators, unite and first eliminate the demons and protect the righteous path?"

As soon as these words came out.

The next moment, all three of them moved at the same time!

The dashing swordsman Liu Mubai moved like an arrow, his Azure Mist Sword wrapped in green spiritual energy, piercing straight for Luo Yuling's back!
Shen Yufeng from Penglai Island threw out a water-splitting spike, its silver light piercing the air, aiming at her shoulder and neck!
Zhang Ruoxu of Tianyong City unleashed a burst of lightning from his fingertips, and a lightning pillar as thick as a forearm crashed down!
"Slay this witch to cleanse the orthodox tradition!"

With a loud shout, Master Shiyan leaped down, his staff in hand, a golden "Vajra Subduing Demon Seal" forming in his palm. The staff swept across the ground, sending pebbles flying, and then struck down on Luo Yuling's head!
The monks behind her also chanted scriptures in unison, surrounded by Buddhist light, trying to suppress her evil aura.

Luo Yuling's beautiful eyes turned cold, and her black robe suddenly spun open, condensing into a semi-transparent barrier of Xuan Sha.

"You attack her lower body! This old monk will break through her defenses!"

Shi Yan roared and swept his staff across again, the tip of the staff carrying the golden light of Buddhism, aiming straight for Luo Yuling's knees.

The power of the early Golden Core stage surged outwards, causing the magma below to surge and boil.

boom!
After a deafening roar, a terrifying aftershock swept out, and the four people were thrown to the side!
This is the end.

The Holy Maiden of Cangming single-handedly defused the attacks of four righteous masters!

"Come again!"

"I don't believe she can stop them!"

With their eyes bloodshot, the four were about to launch another attack!

at this time--

"Boom!"

A fiery red fist shadow, carrying a wave of scorching heat, suddenly burst out from the bronze door!

As soon as the fist arrived, the magma in the magma pool was forced back three feet, revealing the dark rock bed underneath!

next moment,
The fist, accompanied by waves of flame, thundered past!
Shi Yan, Liu Mubai, and the others were focusing all their efforts on attacking Luo Yuling when they were caught off guard by the sudden gust of wind from the fist. Their bodies flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the rock wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In an instant, not only the righteous people who were knocked away, but even the Holy Maiden of Cangming was astonished.

Is there a master hidden within this secret realm?
The old monk Shiyan clutched his chest, stopped the monks behind him, and looked on suspiciously.

Liu Mubai, the strongest member of the three-man team, condensed his sword energy, barely managing to deflect the falling force. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and cursed:

"Who! Who dares to launch a sneak attack! Come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

A cold, indifferent young voice came from inside the bronze door:
"A one-on-one duel? No need for that—"

"You insects, come at me all at once."
