After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"Zheng..."

A melodious piano sound emerged from Qiu's fingertips. Sensing the spiritual power recovering in her body, she was slightly startled, and then sighed inwardly again.

Being able to comprehend the laws at the Nascent Soul stage is extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm, so Qiu did not hold out much hope for this test.

However, due to the current situation, even though she knew she couldn't comprehend it, she was unwilling to give up so easily. If she tried, there might still be a chance of survival; if she didn't...

“Clang—clang—clang!”

The exciting sound of the piano continued incessantly. After a moment, Qiu let out a "puff" sound and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the strings red.

At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her spiritual power was exhausted, and coupled with her previous injuries, her body was shaky and she seemed like she would fall to the ground at any time.

Fortunately, all the waves of ferocious beasts that besieged them were killed.

"It's still a little short. Next up, it's time for the fierce beast in the Spiritual Transformation Stage..."

Qiu murmured softly, a hint of bitterness on his lips, "I hope... I can die before you."

……

Inside the secret room, the air was thick with the aroma of medicine.

"Am I being too hasty..."

Lin Chuan's eyes swept across the image reflected in the water mirror, and a faint pain arose in his heart.

However, that feeling of heartache did not last long, and was replaced by a deeper determination.

"Try one last time. If it really doesn't work, just let it be. We'll try to improve it later."

……

In a closed space.

"Could it be that the highest level of this test can only allow the beast to reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

Qiu Jian saw that no new ferocious beasts had yet to emerge, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"That's right. Even if someone could truly comprehend the laws at the Nascent Soul stage, they still wouldn't be able to defeat a beast at the Spiritualization stage. The owner of this relic doesn't need to..."

However, just as she thought more and more that this speculation was reasonable, there was a slight tremor in the ground, followed by a roar of an animal from behind her.

Qiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ferocious beast slowly approaching, its eyes glowing with a faint light staring at her coldly.

"Cross...cross the tribulation realm?!"

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the ferocious beast, Qiu felt his heart tremble violently, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

However, the next second, she snapped back to her senses, her gaze fixed on the beast's horn, stained red by an unknown liquid. There, a pierced, blood-stained robe hung tangled on the tip of the horn, swaying slightly in the wind.

"That is... the young master's robe..."

Qiu Jiao's body trembled uncontrollably, and panic instantly filled her eyes, followed by overwhelming regret.

"If I had been more careful..."

"If I follow you everywhere..."

“If only I had a little more talent…”

"if……"

……

Endless regret flooded Qiu's heart like a tide, and every "if" was like a sharp knife, cutting into her internal organs.

She looked at the ferocious beast approaching step by step, slowly closed her eyes, and a drop of blood-red tear silently slid down the corner of her eye, winding down her pale cheek.

……

Inside the secret room.

"Zi."

The spiritual energy in the alchemy furnace suddenly surged violently, almost breaking through the furnace body.

Lin Chuan's heart tightened, and he quickly concentrated and calmed himself down. He quickly formed seals with his hands to stabilize the spiritual power in the furnace, thus narrowly avoiding the danger of the furnace exploding.

"I spent so much time paving the road, only to end up paving it in the wrong direction."

Lin Chuan looked at the prototype of the elixir in the furnace, his face full of helplessness.

But soon, this feeling of helplessness was replaced by a sense of relief. After all, the Law of Regret belongs to the Great Dao of Love. Now that he can comprehend the Law of Regret, he will naturally be able to continuously improve it in the future.

What's more, Qiu is almost there in his comprehension of the laws of music. If nothing unexpected happens in his future practice, he will at least be able to achieve the dual fruits.

"Now all I need is this pill..."

Lin Chuan's mind moved slightly, and his figure and the alchemy furnace in front of him disappeared in the secret room in an instant, and appeared outside the ruins the next moment.

At this moment, above the sky, the clouds were as black as ink, rolling endlessly, and there was faint purple thunder shuttling through the depths of the clouds.

Because the area was uninhabited for a thousand miles, there was no need to conceal it. Lin Chuan glanced around, and with a flick of spiritual power at his fingertips, several restrictions silently fell upon the surrounding rocks and vegetation.

At this moment, a purple pill thunder as thick as a bowl tore through the clouds, and with its magnificent power, it struck straight towards the top of the alchemy furnace.

……

Within the ruins.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dull collision sounds rang out one after another. The ferocious beast, which exuded a strong sense of oppression, was constantly hitting the restriction that blocked this space with its head, and there was a hint of regret in its eyes.

After a long time, there was a muffled "thump" sound, and the huge body of the ferocious beast fell heavily to the ground, its breath weak, and it was dying.

Qiu carefully put away the bloody robe, then slowly approached, raised his sword, and chopped it down on the beast's head again and again.

She didn't think about it too much. Why could this ferocious beast, which was clearly in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, be defeated by a trace of law power that she used?

At this moment, all that was left in her heart was surging regret and uncontrollable anger...

I don't know how long it took, but the long sword in Qiu's hand had already been bent, and half of the beast's head had turned into spiritual light and gradually dissipated.

But Qiu did not feel relieved. She threw away the long sword with a rolled blade, bent down to pick up the long zither beside her, raised her hands high, and smashed them hard at the remaining body of the beast again and again, until a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and stopped the force of venting her anger.

"If you keep hitting me like this, Qiu, don't let your hands get hurt."

Lin Chuan looked at Qiu who suddenly turned around to look at him, and spoke softly with a hint of imperceptible heartache in his voice.

"Master... Young Master?!"

Qiu was slightly startled, then suddenly put down the zither in his hand, rushed forward uncontrollably, and hugged Lin Chuan tightly.

"Be good, I'm fine."

Lin Chuan gently hugged Qiu and patted her back softly, trying to soothe her body which was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Son..."

Qiu hugged her tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to embed her whole body in his arms. Tiny sobs escaped from the depths of her throat, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time surged up at this moment.

"Be good, don't cry, I'm here."

Lin Chuan slowly sat down holding Qiu, letting her lean against his arms.

After a while.

Qiu gradually stopped sobbing, raised her head slightly, and looked at Lin Chuan who was nearby with tearful eyes.

"what happened?"

Lin Chuan looked down at her red eyes and gently wiped away the lingering tears on her cheeks with his fingertips.

"..."

Qiu shook her head slightly and said nothing, but continued to look at Lin Chuan. In her eyes, which had just cleared of tears, a trace of imperceptible thought flashed across her eyes.

Lin Chuan also looked at Qiu quietly with a deep gaze, and quickly thought in his mind whether he should tell her everything or continue to hide it from her for the time being.

"Sir...where did you go just now?"

After a long time, Qiu broke the silence first, staring at Lin Chuan's eyes without blinking.
