Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 100: The Terrifying Initial Stage of Qi Refining

The word "Dad" stunned Xiao Yichen. He stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. After all, whether he was on Earth or traveled through time to this world of immortal cultivation, he had always been a pure little virgin. How come he suddenly had a daughter?

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Xiao Zi felt her joy and also laughed foolishly. Although she didn't know what she was laughing at, she just laughed along.

"Qingqing, you can't joke about this."

Xiao Yichen reacted and looked at the two people in front of him who were laughing foolishly. He also realized that he had been fooled and patted Liu Qingqing on the head lightly.

It took a long time for Xiao Yichen to accept that the little guy in front of him was Xiao Zi's transformed appearance.

To be honest, it makes sense for Xiao Zi to call him "Dad", after all, he was the first person he saw when he was born, but this name just sounds awkward.

He held Xiao Zi in his arms and said softly, "Xiao Zi, from now on, just call me brother like Qing Qing."

Xiao Zi nodded in confusion. To her, it was just a name. But Liu Qingqing beside her was furious.

"No, I'm your sister."

It took him a while to coax the little girl into silence. Xiao Zi then ran to the side to play in the mud. Only then did he have time to check his current body.

He closed his eyes and began to carefully examine his own situation. At this moment, his cultivation had reached the initial stage of the Qi training realm. This retreat plus the heavenly tribulation directly raised him by two realms.

What surprised him was that at this moment, all the power of heavenly tribulation in his dantian had disappeared, leaving it empty, but every part of his body was filled with the power of heavenly tribulation. It was no longer like before, where he had to mobilize the power of heavenly tribulation from his dantian. This actually increased his casting speed a lot.

What surprised him even more was that his physical strength definitely exceeded that of the average high-level Jindan cultivator. Although his consciousness was in the heavenly tribulation at that time, he was still aware of everything in the outside world. He killed two mid-level Jindan cultivators and one high-level Jindan cultivator in seconds. This was enough to reflect his true strength at the moment. In addition, with the recasting of his physical body this time, he might even be able to fight against a peak-level Jindan cultivator.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that he had used up all the fragments of the fairy core crystal. Part of it was used to rebuild his body, and more of it was transformed into the power of heavenly tribulation and stored in his body.

This was also what he discovered. Without the constraints of his dantian, his entire body could contain the power of the heavenly tribulation. It could be said that the power of the heavenly tribulation in his body at this moment was enough to support him fighting with all his strength for a whole day.

Coupled with his understanding from the heavenly tribulation this time, the recovery effect of the power of the heavenly tribulation has been greatly enhanced. As long as the opponent cannot kill him instantly, he can exhaust the opponent to death.

"Huh... this is too strong."

After taking a long breath, he opened his eyes again, the excitement on his face revealed undisguisedly.

But at this moment, Liu Qingqing was looking at him with shining eyes.

"Brother, you are much more handsome now than when I first met you."

He rubbed the other's head affectionately. Liu Qingqing took the opportunity to hug his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, take me to eat something delicious. You have been in seclusion for two months. You must be starving."

As soon as he heard about something delicious, Xiao Zi suddenly appeared from nowhere, drooling and muttering, "Eat...delicious...Qing...Qing...cooked...isn't...delicious."

Xiao Yichen tapped her little head with one hand and channeled a trace of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation into her body. This was Xiao Zi's favorite thing in the past, but this time, after absorbing it, Xiao Zi still drooled and said, "Eat...it's...delicious..."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yichen also smiled. It seemed that Xiao Zi, like them, loved the delicacies of the mortal world very much. He slowly stood up, holding one of their hands, and brought them to a nearby village.

They ordered a large table of food, which made the two little girls drool. Liu Qingqing grabbed a piece of pork elbow and stuffed it into her mouth, while Xiao Zi grabbed whatever she saw, getting her hands covered in oil. Xiao Yichen helped them wipe their hands and mouths while eating. In this way, the three of them quickly finished the whole table of food.

After leaving the inn, Liu Qingqing took Xiao Zi's hand and walked in front to help digest the food. She burped from time to time. Xiao Zi imitated her and clucked twice, but didn't know how to make the burping sound.

Xiao Yichen followed behind them, looking at the two of them, a smile appeared on his face.

"Huh... Days like this are actually pretty good."

…………

…………

Days passed one by one. One day, when Xiao Yichen was sitting by the stream practicing, Liu Qingqing suddenly found him with the sound transmission stone in her hand and said:

"Brother, the sect asked me to go back. They seem to have discovered some ancient ruins nearby."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and asked with a smile:

"Want to go?"

Liu Qingqing nodded. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen stood up from the ground, took her hand and went back into the house to start cleaning up. He had been here for quite a while, so it was a good time for him to go out and move around.

Xiao Zi also ran back from outside at this time. After practicing for a period of time, she has now completely adapted to this body and no longer walks unsteadily like before.

After everything was packed, they set off immediately. Early the next morning, they arrived at the small town outside the Meiyu Gate. Liu Qingqing also separated from them here. Anyway, they could just contact each other through the sound stone if there was anything.

After sending Liu Qingqing away, Xiao Yichen, dressed in black, walked around the town with Xiao Zi on his back. His appearance had now recovered, so he tried not to expose himself if possible. This would also be beneficial to his revenge. After all, he was in the dark now, while the Lingjian Sect was in the light, so it would be easier for him to take action in the future.

As for the ancient ruins, I heard about it the last time I came here. I didn’t expect that several months have passed and it has not been thoroughly investigated yet. It seems to be quite complicated.

"Xiao Zi, stop pulling my ears. I'll buy you whatever you want. Even pig ears are fine."

…………

…………

On the other side, Liu Qingqing returned to the sect and headed straight for her master's cave. She had only asked for a month's leave, but ended up being away for almost three months. She didn't know how she would be scolded later.

When she arrived outside the cave, Liu Qingqing was still a little nervous, but she had already come this far and it would be unreasonable to turn back. She gritted her teeth and walked into the cave.

Arriving at the cave, Yun Mei, Zhang Qingyue, and several other disciples gathered around her master, the Fifth Elder. Seeing Liu Qingqing arrive, the Fifth Elder snorted coldly and said nothing more. Yun Mei quickly walked up to her, looked her up and down, and asked,

"Junior sister, are you okay? I was so worried during this period. You didn't even reply to my voice message. I hope that weirdo didn't hurt you."

Feeling the anxiety in the other party's tone, Liu Qingqing felt warm in her heart. She smiled and replied that it was okay. She was led to the fifth elder, who was discussing the specific situation of the ruins at this moment.

Zhang Qingyue said, "Master, based on our recent investigation, the ruins seem to be related to the Daoyi eccentric from a thousand years ago. If the investigation is correct, it is very likely that this is the place where the Daoyi eccentric passed away."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder's expression turned somewhat serious. The Daoyi weirdo that Zhang Qingyue mentioned was the Holy Son of a powerful sect a thousand years ago. His cultivation had even reached the terrifying peak of the Fusion Realm. He was only one step away from reaching the Enlightenment Realm, making him much more powerful than her, a cultivator at the middle level of the Concentration Realm.

You know, the current leader of their Meiyu Sect is only at the peak of the Concentration Realm. If she can find a chance in the other party's place of meditation, she may be able to successfully break through to the Fusion Realm.

Nodding, the Fifth Elder spoke, "The battle for the ruins this time is extremely dangerous. Our Meiyu Sect isn't the only sect targeting us. The Fourth Elder and I will accompany you. Follow our instructions and don't act on your own. Do you understand?"

The disciples nodded. Seeing this, the Fifth Elder didn't say anything more. He asked everyone to go back early and set off early tomorrow morning.

Liu Qingqing followed Yun Mei out of the cave and was about to go back when Zhang Qingyue's sarcastic voice came from the side.

"Hey, isn't this the Junior Sister Liu who was seduced away by a strange man? Why, was she dumped by a strange man?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing wanted to rush forward and rip the other person's mouth open, but when she thought about this being a sect, she could only suppress her anger and retort, "Senior Sister Zhang, you should worry about Senior Brother Xianyu. I heard that since you took it away last time, his health has been getting worse day by day."

When Zhang Qingyue heard the other party mention her Taoist partner, her expression became a little unnatural. Although her strength had been greatly improved by removing her Taoist partner in advance, and she had defeated Yunmei in the sect competition and thus gained huge benefits, her Taoist partner was half-wasted and would not be able to recover for three to five years.

During this period, she couldn't even practice dual cultivation too frequently, so her cultivation speed naturally slowed down a lot. In addition, Yunmei also successfully broke through to the Jindan realm. Although her strength was weaker than her, the other party was able to catch up with her without relying on picking the Taoist fruits of her Taoist partner. This was enough to show that Yunmei's talent was stronger than hers. Therefore, the position of the Saint became uncertain again, which made her previous decision look like a joke.

"You're sharp-tongued. It's not your turn to interfere in our husband-and-wife business."

With a cold snort, Zhang Qingyue walked towards her residence, but she looked obviously angry.

"It's over... Senior Brother Xianyu is probably going to be in big trouble tonight. I hope you are in good health." Liu Qingqing did not forget to joke behind her.

After angering Zhang Qingyue away, Liu Qingqing walked towards her own little house. Yun Mei hurriedly grabbed her and wanted to ask about Xiao Yichen, but Xiao Yichen had informed her in advance, so Yun Mei couldn't get any information after asking for a long time.

Looking at Liu Qingqing walking away, Yun Mei didn't know where to go for a moment. At this moment, the voice of her Taoist partner Mu Yang came from behind her.

"The elders have already given their instructions, why don't you go back and rest?"

Hearing this, Yunmei just smiled faintly and responded, then walked towards her residence.

"Yun Mei, I have reached the Qi Refining Stage now and can practice dual cultivation with you. How about I go to your place tonight? This way, your cultivation level can catch up with Zhang Qingyue as soon as possible." Mu Yang said this with a somewhat excited look on his face.

Shaking her head, Yun Mei said softly:

"No, it's not the right time yet. I want to try it on my own first. It's getting late, you should go back."

After saying that, he ignored Mu Yang's expression behind him and flew towards his residence. Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, a hint of gloom appeared in Mu Yang's eyes. Then he walked to the other side with a very ugly look on his face.
