After traveling to the world of cultivation, I rely on the game system to survive

Pei Nianyi, Xia Chen and Su Huaining were brought back to the Sword Sect by Xie Changan.

Pei Nianyi thanked him again and prepared to leave. Xie Changan pursed his lips slightly and called out to the girl who was about to leave: "The sword technique you used in the frost forest was your own creation?"

Pei Nian shook his head in denial. He definitely couldn't reveal the fact that he possessed the system, so he could only come up with the same old excuse: "I saw an old man practicing this sword technique when I was a child in my hometown, so I stole a few moves from him."

"Your sword techniques are very exquisite. If you can learn the essence of them, you will definitely gain something." Xie Changan's eyes were shining when he talked about the sword techniques.

He lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled. His usually cold peach blossom eyes softened, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eye seemed to bring some kind of temptation: "It's a pity that your basics are a little lacking. Are you willing to practice sword with me?"

Pei Nian was so distracted when she stared at Xie Changan's tear mole that she subconsciously nodded in acceptance.

Seeing that she agreed, Xie Changan continued what he had just said halfway: "After the morning class every day, you come to Jianwuping to find me. It will start tomorrow. It's getting late, go back." After saying that, he left without waiting for Pei Nian's answer.

Pei Nianyi:. . . . . .

Pei Nianyi really wanted time to go back and pinch himself to wake him up: "Beauty is misleading, wake up!"

In this way, Pei Nianyi returned to his quiet life of attending classes, practicing sword with Xie Changan, and completing system tasks.

A year passed in this fulfilling cultivation life. Pei Nian was seventeen years old and had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He had finally reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, Pei Nianyi did not plan to build the foundation immediately. She had consulted various books in the library and found that each stage of cultivation was not just nine levels, but there were ten levels above the ninth level.

Above the ninth level of Qi Refining is the tenth level of Qi Refining. Reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining and then building the foundation is a perfect foundation. Similarly, both Golden Core and Nascent Soul can reach the tenth level before breaking through.

As long as a cultivator who can build a perfect foundation can grow smoothly and not die in the middle, he can at least break through to the Mahayana stage, and his combat power will be invincible in the same realm.

For example, Xie Changan in the sect has a perfect foundation, so he can break through to the God Transformation stage at the age of eighteen. Sword cultivators are able to challenge higher-level cultivators, and Xie Changan can even challenge the powerful cultivators in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing stage without being defeated.

There was another very important reason why Pei Nianyi had to break through the tenth level of Qi Refining. Her rank in the system for the ninth level of Qi Refining was Stubborn Bronze Four Stars. To upgrade to Order Silver, she had to reach Bronze Five Stars first.

Xiao Daji has also released the main quest of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Today, after Pei Nian finished her morning class, she came to Jianwuping to see Xie Changan. She continued to practice the basic sword techniques that every disciple of the Sword Sect must learn. From the first move to the ninth move, she practiced over and over again.

Xie Changan didn't say anything either. He just stood under the tree and watched Pei Nianyi practice calmly, only occasionally reminding her when she made a wrong move.

After practicing for two hours, Xie Changan let Pei Nianyi leave. The girl did not return to her residence, but went down the mountain to Juanyun Town at the foot of Jianzong Mountain.

On the long street of Juanyun Town, people were bustling about, and the sounds of hawking from the market were endless, making it very lively.

The girl used a low-grade spirit stone to buy two strings of fresh and plump candied haws. She opened her mouth and bit off a hawthorn covered in syrup. The sour and sweet taste quickly spread from the tip of her tongue to her heart.

The girl licked the sugar residue from the corner of her lips, walked to the end of the long street with a satisfied smile, and stopped in front of the stall of a little girl who was selling braided sword tassels.

The little girl had just finished braiding a sword tassel. She greeted Pei Nian sweetly, "Master, would you like to buy some? I have all kinds of sword tassels here, and the colors are really beautiful."

Pei Nianyi shook his head, pointed at the materials next to the woven sword tassels on the stall, and asked, "Excuse me, how much are these materials? I want to weave a sword tassel myself."

Upon hearing this, the little girl took out a handful of transparent silk thread from a box under the stall and said, "The threads on the stall are all ordinary silk threads. I have some Tiancan silk here, which is a bit more expensive. Do you want it? I can help you dye the Tiancan silk for free."

Upon hearing that this transparent silk thread was Tiancan silk, Pei Nian immediately became interested.

This silk of the silkworm is impervious to water and fire, and can withstand swords and guns, making it an excellent material. However, this silkworm is difficult to raise and only produces one gram of silk per year, so it is extremely rare.

"How much does this Tiancan silk cost?" Pei Nian asked the little girl.

"I have a real person here who wants a medium-grade spirit stone." The little girl replied cautiously, fearing that the price would anger the real person.

The little girl didn't have much silk from the silkworm, so she could only weave two sword tassels at most. One medium-grade spirit stone was equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, so it wasn't cheap.

Seeing Pei Nianyi's silence, the girl knew that his price was not cheap, so she hurriedly tried to sell him, "My silk is of very good quality, and I can even help you dye it."

In the end, Pei Nianyi bought the Tiancan silk with a medium-grade spirit stone.

The little girl asked Pei Nianyi again: "Master, do you want me to teach you how to weave sword tassels?"

Pei Nianyi shook her head again, sat on the small stool in front of the stall and continued to eat her candied haws, watching the little girl dye the Tiancan silk attentively.

By the time Pei Nian finished eating a string of candied haws, the little girl had finished dyeing the silk.

Pei Nianyi chuckled and took the Tiancan silk packed by the little girl. She stood up, said goodbye to the little girl, and walked leisurely on the road back to the sect.

After returning to the small courtyard, Pei Nianyi was not in a hurry to enter the trial of enlightenment. She sat beside the bed and slowly took out some Tiancan silk. Her slender fingers kept turning it over and flexibly weaved the sword tassel.

Soon, a simple sword tassel appeared in Pei Nianyi's hand. She took the braided sword tassel and shook it gently: "It's done!"

Pei Nianyi put the sword tassel away and stood up to go out, slowly walking towards the mountain behind the outer gate. Xie Changan would practice sword on the Siguo Cliff in the back mountain every night.

Pei Nianyi's ponytail swayed with her steps, and there was a rhythm in her steps. The mountain road was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The girl felt that the spiritual energy in the sect today seemed to be more turbulent than usual.

Pei Nianyi was immersed in the surging spiritual energy and absorbing it madly, when he suddenly felt a premonition of danger and murderous intent!

The next moment, a huge bear jumped out from the side of the mountain road, opened its bloody mouth and bit Pei Nianyi's head with a clear target.

This was a Jindan-stage Kui Xiong that was kept in the mountain behind the outer sect. Pei Nianyi was suppressed by the Jindan-stage pressure emitted by the Kui Xiong and was unable to move for a while. He was about to die.

A sword light suddenly appeared in front of her and killed the bear. The sword light was so sharp that it even cut off Pei Nianyi's hairband.

In just a few breaths, Pei Nianyi had circled the gates of hell. Her long hair was scattered and she looked at the person who came with a pale face.

The young man in blue and white shirt stood not far in front of Pei Nianyi. He wore a jade crown on his head and carried a sword case on his back. He stood tall and straight. His face was as cold and white as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were delicate but cold.

He turned his head to look at Pei Nianyi, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of confusion as he asked, "Why are you always so embarrassed every time I see you?"

Pei Nianyi felt his hands itching to hit someone! But then he thought he couldn't win, which made him so angry!

The girl was about to speak when she felt a sweet taste in her mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.

Seeing the girl spitting blood, Xie Changan asked inexplicably: "How about... you wipe the blood first?"
