The infinite heavens begin with American horror.

"Oh my God!"

"Honey, this is amazing."

A cheer erupted.

Anna's bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Anna, wearing only a bath towel and barefoot, rushed into the room.

Seeing Li Qing lying on the bed, Anna jumped and pounced on Li Qing's upper body.

Due to the excessive movement, the bath towel draped over her body instantly came off.

Anna's slender and beautiful body was revealed.

Anna was filled with excitement and cupped Li Qing's cheeks in her hands, showering him with kisses.

"Honey, after eating that candy you gave me and taking a shower, I noticed my skin looked so much better. I feel like I've become a few years younger. Don't I look even prettier now?"

What is "sugar bean"? Can the "Youth-Preserving Pill" be described as a sugar bean?

"That's called the Youth Preservation Pill. It's not some kind of candy. If you eat it, you'll stay young and beautiful forever and won't have to worry about aging over time."

Li Qing touched Anna's skin with both hands and felt that the difference in texture was indeed quite significant.

Anna's skin used to be a bit rough, but now it's smoother, more hydrated, and firmer.

Anna's facial skin also became whiter and smoother.

Beauty is always the most important thing for women, regardless of their personality.

If this is true of goddesses and goddesses in mythology, then it goes without saying that it applies to ordinary human women as well.

"A youth-preserving elixir? It truly lives up to its name. Thank you, darling, for such a wonderful gift."

The fact that such a precious item was so easily given to her showed her important position in Li Qing's heart, and Anna felt incredibly warm inside.

"Darling, I love you."

Anna raised her head and gazed tenderly into Li Qing's eyes.

"Anna, me too."

Next, she demonstrated her love for Li Qing through her actions.

She would use this perfect body to repay Li Qing for his kindness.

Anna propped herself up with her hands and straddled Li Qing's waist.

Seeing Anna's actions, Li Qing understood what Anna meant.

Pointing to the open door, he reminded Anna.

"Wait, the door is still open. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."

"Don't I know what you're capable of, darling?"

Without turning her head, Anna lowered her head and kissed Li Qing, despite his reminder.

.......

Li Qing looked down at Anna, who had a satisfied expression, and got dressed and stood up.

After tidying himself up, Li Qing said to Anna, "I have to go out for a while. You get some rest."

"Ok!"

Li Qing didn't go through the main entrance; instead, he flew out of the castle through the room window.

Li Qing has not yet consumed the Muya Crystal he obtained from the system lottery.

In the main world, Li Qing had no suitable place to take it, nor did he readily consume it.

They were afraid of causing any disturbance that would disrupt Sister Bai's normal life.

Li Qing's current strength is insufficient for him to act recklessly in a righteous manner.

In the world of Van Helsing, Li Qing didn't have this concern.

Leave Villaris Castle.

Li Qing's figure moved among the mountains.

We found a relatively open mountain peak to stop.

Li Qing's body was suspended at the summit.

He sat cross-legged and took out the Wood Crystal from the system space.

A fist-sized white crystal appeared in Li Qing's hand.

The moment Mu Yajing was taken out, Li Qing smelled the rich aroma of rice.

Muya Crystal is a rare and precious material in the novel "Swallowed Star," primarily used for cultivating pet beasts.

In the original story, a monster lord evolved into a beast king after swallowing Muya Crystal.

Human warriors who are powerful can also quickly advance to the planetary level after using the Wood Crystal.

I just don't know what level my Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivation will reach after consuming the Wood Seed Crystal.

But how do you use this fist-sized wooden crystal?

Should we just swallow it whole?

......

After some research, Li Qing naturally did not choose to directly use the Wood Crystal, as absorbing energy does not necessarily require swallowing it into the body.

Li Qing gripped the wooden crystal tightly in his right hand, gradually drawing out the cosmic energy contained within it.

It spread from the right hand throughout the body.

As he absorbed the energy, Li Qing clearly felt his cultivation level improve.

His cultivation level, which was originally at the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, was directly upgraded to the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Having reached the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, Li Qing stopped absorbing the energy of the Wood Crystal.

The energy of the wooden crystal in his hand was almost gone, and its originally milky white appearance had become transparent.

Furthermore, its surface is covered with dense cracks. Once Li Qing absorbs the last bit of energy, the Muya Crystal will shatter and disappear completely.

The rich aroma of rice was barely noticeable.

How can Li Qing only absorb such a treasure as Mu Ya Jing once?

Li Qing wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of Mu Ya Jing.

Li Qing could sense that the effect of the Wood Crystal on his cultivation had not disappeared; absorbing a few more would still result in an improvement.

This is when the horse talisman comes into play again.

A burst of white light enveloped Muya Crystal.

Li Qing once again smelled that rich rice aroma that belonged only to Mu Yajing.

After absorbing the energy of another Wood Crystal.

Li Qing is about to break through the bottleneck in his cultivation, and his cultivation will advance to the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness stage.

Finally, an invisible barrier was broken through, and Li Qing's cultivation level was successfully advanced to the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness stage.

Within Li Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, a transparent primordial spirit sat cross-legged, its appearance exactly the same as Li Qing's.

This is also a sign of successfully refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, with the primordial spirit arising from the sea of ​​consciousness.

As long as his primordial spirit remains, Li Qing will not die completely.

Such as if the physical body is destroyed in battle.

As long as one can rebuild their body or possess another's body, they can be reborn.

Having broken through to the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, Li Qing no longer needed to rely on mental power to fly.

Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his feet touching the void, gazing into the distance.

This feeling made Li Qing feel more comfortable than ever before.

Vast and boundless, like riding the wind, with no end in sight. Floating and ethereal, as if detached from the world, ascending to immortality.

Although Li Qing is still a long way from ascending to immortality.

There is a realm of Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao that separates them.

But for Li Qing, it was only a matter of time.

His cultivation level soared directly from the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation to the early stage of Spirit Refining and Void Return.

Li Qing's mental strength has increased by about a hundredfold.

Previously, Li Qing's mental strength system panel showed 120 in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, but now his mental strength in Spirit Refining and Returning to Emptiness should be over 10,000.

......

Li Qing stood in the void and put the wooden crystal in his hand back into the system space.

After absorbing the Wood Crystal several more times, Li Qing discovered that the Wood Crystal's effect on improving his cultivation was now negligible.

However, his cultivation level has never broken through to the mid-stage of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.

Muya Crystal is no longer of any use to Li Qing.

It's time to check out the specific improvements.

"System, update the character panel."

"Okay, host."
