Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Lu Yunshi was quite surprised that Shangguan Yue had arranged their next meeting so quickly, but this was undoubtedly very beneficial to his breakthrough. So Lu Yunshi did not refuse, but went back and began to adjust his state properly.

In other words, he took a two-week leave.

According to Gouzi, Mr. Li, who hadn't seen Lu Yunshi for five consecutive days, didn't look too good. Ten days later, Mr. Li almost rushed over to look for him. Fortunately, Gouzi persuaded him for a long time before he finally believed that Lu Yunshi was preparing for his breakthrough, rather than giving up on himself.

As for Lu Yunxi, Lu Yunshi hasn't gone to see her these past few days. Instead, he regularly places a love letter in front of her door, then pretends to wait for her for an hour before leaving.

"Hmm, Swiftness Talisman, Iron Body Talisman, Mighty Strength Talisman, Healing Pill, Rejuvenation Powder... Five of each. With my current abilities, these should be enough to deal with the dangers I can handle."

Lu Yunshi did not interpret his trip with Shangguan Yue as something simple. He knew that she really wanted to help him cultivate, so she would definitely not help him too much. At least 99% of the troubles would have to be solved by himself.

On the other hand, it also means that although those troubles will be difficult, at least they will be under Shangguan Yue's control and within Lu Yunshi's ability to deal with.

Following this line of thought, Lu Yunshi prepared what he considered to be enough equipment to deal with trouble.

"Almost done." After carefully checking his preparations and observing the rainbow flower that had finally managed to pull him back to life, Lu Yunshi arrived at the gate of Wujie Academy as agreed with Shangguan Yue.

"coming?"

A pleasant voice entered his ears, and Lu Yunshi looked in the direction of the voice, immediately revealing a joyful expression.

"Sister Shangguan".

Perhaps disliking being stared at too much, Shangguan Yue put on a veil, but it still couldn't hide her charm with every smile and frown.

Seeing how excited Lu Yunshi was to see her, Shangguan Yue couldn't help but smile, then tilted her head.

"Come with me. If we don't hurry on this trip, you'll probably fail your test."

"Huh?" Lu Yunshi's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this. There was still a full month until the elementary student's assessment. So, according to Shangguan Yue, if this trip was slow, it would actually take a month?

"Don't be surprised, come with me quickly." Shangguan Yue stood in front of Lu Yunshi, then suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, do you like flying?"

"Fly?" Lu Yunshi was stunned for a moment, and had a bad feeling.

The next second, Lu Yunshi felt something tugging at his collar, and then his vision blurred as he flew into the sky with Shangguan Yue.

Time is so precious; a few seconds can feel like an eternity. This was also true for Lu Yunshi, who was soaring in the sky. It seemed like only a dozen minutes had passed, but it felt like several years.

Lu Yunshi, who landed safely with Shangguan Yue's help, remained expressionless, seemingly unaffected.

"You did better than I expected for your first flight." Looking at Lu Yun, who remained motionless, Shangguan Yue nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his performance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshi, who had been expressionless just moments before, quickly ran to a large tree and squatted down.

"Ugh~~~"

"Heh, still a child." Shangguan Yue's lips curled slightly, her face gentle, as she stood quietly waiting for the other person to regain their composure.

About ten minutes later, Lu Yunshi returned with an embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, Sister Shangguan, you must have made me laugh."

"It's alright, this is normal." Shangguan Yue shook her head and didn't say anything, but simply tossed a piece of paper to Lu Yunshi.

"This is... a map?" Lu Yunshi took it and examined it for a moment, then looked up at Shangguan Yue.

“This is a map of this place.” Shangguan Yue said, pointing to a spot on the map as she approached Lu Yun. “Next, you need to play a game, and I will be waiting for you here. What you need to do is find the materials within the area on the map that can be used to refine the pills that will help you break through.”

"That's it?" Lu Yunshi hesitated for a moment, somewhat disbelieving that things could be so simple.

"Of course it's not that simple." Shangguan Yue placed her hand on Lu Yunshi's shoulder and then applied slight pressure.

Soon, Lu Yunshi found that his body was numb. The numbness came and went quickly, but he soon noticed something was wrong.

The qi and blood he had cultivated through body tempering were now eerily still, like a stagnant pool of water, and no matter how he tried, there was no movement.

Without vital energy and blood, the biggest difference between Lu Yunshi, a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm, and ordinary people would be gone. At this moment, he would just be an ordinary person, except that he would be a little stronger.

Needless to say, who else but the fairy sister in front of us could do such a despicable thing?

Sensing the situation within his body, Lu Yunshi revealed a wronged expression.

"Sister Shangguan, I only have the skills of the mid-stage Body Tempering Realm, is it really necessary to seal my position?"

"There's nothing we can do. The monsters in this mountain aren't even at the mid-stage of Body Tempering. And sealing your blood and qi is to allow you to better utilize the sword skills you've learned."

"But even if I were to unleash that sword technique now, it wouldn't be very lethal to a demon beast undergoing body tempering." As a weakling in combat, Lu Yunshi knew his own limitations very well, and now Shangguan Yue had locked up at least four points of his combat power. If he really encountered any enemy...

Can we win?

"That's how it was originally, but for someone like you who has already grasped a certain level of 'intention,' as long as you can actively enter that state during battle, even without the support of qi and blood, your current weak strength is enough."

After saying that, Shangguan Yue looked at Lu Yunshi provocatively and asked another question.

"What? Are you scared before it even starts?"

"Of course...no!" As if spurred on by Shangguan Yue, Lu Yunshi immediately raised his head and answered defiantly.

"Then we'll see how you perform. Don't disappoint me." Shangguan Yue smiled faintly upon hearing this, waved to Lu Yunshi, turned around and disappeared from Lu Yunshi's sight, leaving only a graceful figure that was gradually disappearing.

Lu Yunshi sighed inwardly, but his face showed anticipation and courage for the adventure that was about to begin.

"Sister Shangguan, watch closely, I will be there for you very soon."

I'm speaking so loudly, I think you can hear me.

Today, I'm also putting on a good show in my acting.
