The system is the proficiency panel

As the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden halo over Xuantian City. Lin Ji returned to the City Lord's Mansion with four Star Liquids. He stood in the courtyard in the center of the mansion. The Star Liquids were suspended in his palms, emitting a soft light, as if containing endless mysteries.

He took a deep breath and placed the Star Liquid at the core of the formation in the center of the City Lord's Mansion. As he tapped his fingertips, complex runes rose from the ground, surrounding the Star Liquid. The light of the formation flowed, forming an indestructible barrier to ensure the safety of the Star Liquid.

"That should be fine."

Lin Ji muttered to himself, his eyes lingering on the formation for a moment, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned and walked towards Luo Youran's training room.

At this time, Luo Youran was sitting cross-legged on the jade platform in the training room, with spiritual energy flowing around her like a trickle. She held a fist-sized blood marrow crystal in her hand, and the dark red energy inside the crystal slowly surged, echoing with the spiritual energy in her body. Xiao Ningxue's notebook was spread out on the side, densely recording the experience of practicing water power and control.

"Ningxue's notes are indeed exquisite, and with the addition of the blood marrow crystal..."

Luo Youran whispered softly, her fingertips gently stroking the handwriting on the notebook. A trace of gratitude and admiration flashed in her eyes. With the help of the blood marrow crystal and the notebook, her recent training progress was rapid, and she was only one step away from comprehending the first water force control.

The energy of the blood marrow crystal continued to flow into her body, nourishing her meridians and qi sea. She had been using this crystal for a month, but only used up half of it. Its durability far exceeded her expectations.

Suddenly, she felt a slight fluctuation in the soul contract, which was a signal that Lin Ji was approaching. The corners of her lips rose unconsciously, and a gentle glow appeared in her eyes. She slowly finished her exercise, carefully placed the blood marrow crystal into the jade box beside her, then stood up, tidied her dress, and prepared to go out to greet Lin Ji.

……

The evening breeze blew gently on the walkway in the courtyard, bringing a faint scent of flowers. Luo Youran pushed open the door of the practice room and happened to see Lin Ji walking from the other end of the corridor. The moonlight sprinkled on him, outlining his tall figure. Her heartbeat slightly accelerated, and her pace unconsciously quickened a few points.

"Owner."

She called softly, with undisguised joy in her voice.

Lin Ji looked up and saw Luo Youran standing not far away, wearing a purple dress and with black hair like a waterfall, looking particularly attractive in the moonlight. His eyes softened, and he walked quickly to her and reached out to gently hold her hand.

"You Ran, how is your training going?"

He asked gently, his fingertips gently rubbing the back of her hand.

Luo Youran smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Thanks to Ningxue's notes and the blood crystal, I am about to comprehend water power and control."

A hint of approval flashed in Lin Ji's eyes.

"It seems that you haven't slacked off during my absence."

Luo Youran winked playfully.

"That's natural. I can't let you down when you come back, can I?"

The two smiled at each other and walked side by side in the courtyard. The night breeze was gentle, blowing their robes, and the surrounding scenery looked quiet and beautiful under the moonlight.

After walking for a while, Luo Youran leaned gently on Lin Ji's shoulder and whispered.

"Master, you seem to be worried when you come back this time."

Lin Ji was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly.

"I really can't hide it from you."

He stopped, turned around and faced Luo Youran, his eyes becoming serious.

"You Ran, have you received the damage report from the Rift City?"

Luo Youran leaned against Lin Ji, her purple dress trailing lightly, her black hair like a waterfall, glowing softly in the moonlight. Her fingertips gently wrapped around Lin Ji's sleeves, with a hint of fatigue and worry in her eyes.

"I have received the damage report of the Rift City."

She whispered, her voice soft but heavy.

"Sixty-five members of the Empire's Realm Foundation Building Team were killed, and only three hundred of the two thousand mecha pilots are left..."

At this point, her fingertips tightened slightly.

"I have already arranged their pensions."

Lin Ji felt the strength of her fingertips and gently held her hand, warmth passing from her palm. Luo Youran continued.

"The production of Silver Thunder mechas is also being stepped up. We have begun to build new factories and try to get mortals to participate in the manufacture of some simple parts to speed up production."

Under the moonlight, Lin Ji's eyes were as deep as a pool of water, staring at her quietly. Luo Youran felt his gaze and looked up to meet his gaze.

"The blood marrow crystals mined from the abyss were divided equally among the four sects. In addition to the allocations to Jindan Zhenren and meritorious realm builders, there are now forty in the empire."

As she spoke, she took out three blood marrow crystals from her storage ring. The crystals glowed dark red in the moonlight, and it seemed as if blood was flowing inside, emitting strange energy fluctuations. She handed the blood marrow crystals to Lin Ji with expectation in her eyes.

"Master, it is very effective, you should try it too."

Her voice lightened a little.

"It took me only a month to master water power control. It saved me several years of hard work."

Lin Ji took the blood marrow crystal, and the moment his fingertips touched the crystal, he felt a warm energy flowing into his body. He carefully observed the crystal, and saw that the lines inside it were flowing slowly like a living thing, containing powerful power.

After a moment, he put the blood marrow crystal into the storage ring, with admiration in his eyes.

"You Ran, you did a great job."

Hearing the praise, Luo Youran's lips curled up unconsciously and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

"This is what I should do."

She raised her face slightly, and the moonlight shone on her delicate face, giving her a soft silver glow.

Seeing that she had arranged everything, Lin Ji prepared to say goodbye.

"Now that everything has been arranged, I will go to practice first."

Just as he turned around, Luo Youran suddenly grabbed his hand. Her force was very light, but it made Lin Ji stop involuntarily. He looked back and saw Luo Youran lowering her head, her ears slightly red, and her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Master...please stay here tonight..."

Under the moonlight, her face looked particularly soft, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a faint shadow on her cheek. Lin Ji looked at her like this, and something in his heart suddenly softened. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, the touch was as delicate as silk. The original idea of ​​practicing had long since disappeared.

"it is good."

He murmured in response, his voice full of fondness.

Before Luo Youran could react, Lin Ji had already picked her up. She screamed and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, her cheek pressed against his chest, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. Lin Ji held her and strode towards his room.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing the faint fragrance of flowers in the courtyard. Luo Youran buried his head in Lin Ji's arms, feeling the warmth of his chest, and a sense of peace surged in his heart. The longing for the past three years was finally comforted at this moment.

The moonlight shone through the window lattice, onto the floor of the room, casting mottled shadows. Lin Ji gently placed Luo Youran on the bed, leaning over to gaze at her. Her purple dress glowed softly in the moonlight, and her black hair fell on the pillow like a spread of silk. Their eyes met in the darkness, and no words were needed, as everything was said without words.

The night was dark and the stars were shining. That night, the two who had been reunited for a long time finally embraced each other again, and three years of longing turned into the most gentle lingering.
