After Favorability Is Maxed

Yan Guanlin returned to the five-person room and chose to meditate on his bed. He had just taken a deep breath and closed his eyes, but he opened them again after a while.

He stared at the empty room in a daze.

The others had already left.

In the ten years of Tideviewing and Sword-listening, famous swords that shocked the world would often appear. This time, there was even a strange scene of a mortal participating in the swordsmithing event. It was full of gimmicks, so the scene was naturally very lively.

In addition, he could make a few more friends and exchange their opinions while watching. It might be helpful to him.

On the path of Immortal cultivation, there were four paths — wealth, couples, laws, and land. One would never complain about having too much.

Therefore, many Immortal cultivators would choose to go out and see the world in these few days.

That Murong Lian of the Wugou family had these things, but that guy’s whereabouts are uncertain, and no one knew where he went. He probably came to the Singing Sword contest this time for fun.

He was left alone in the room.

Yan Guanlin firmly believed that even if he was talented, it was not enough. He should work even harder.

There had never been any genius. He just used other people’s time for leisure and enjoyment to cultivate!

He looked down on those cultivators who were less talented than him but still continued to blame the heavens and blame others. This was where his confidence came from.

“But… How is that possible?! That guy!”

Yan Guanlin’s voice echoed in the room.

That Jiang Feng… Apart from visiting the brothels these few days, didn’t he go to the City Lord’s Mansion to curry favor? How long had he been cultivating?

Moreover, this had clearly happened overnight!

He was still an itinerant cultivator, so it was impossible for him to be so strong in both talent and cultivation techniques. Otherwise, he would not have been only at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 19.

It was impossible for him to advance from the sixth level to perfected Foundation Establishment in one night. However, that guy’s spiritual energy was firm and steady. His advancement did not look like it came from a pill at all.

The more Yan Guanlin thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. In the end, he even came up with a rather terrifying guess.

Did he find a female cultivator at the Form Synthesis stage and the Void Refinement stage to be his furnace?

“Damn it, no matter how you improved, I will defeat you!” Yan Guanlin gritted his teeth. This guy had become an obstacle to his Dao Heart.

Ninth level Foundation Establishment against ninth level Foundation Establishment. Just as well, it’s not like I’m bullying the weak, it’s a fair fight. I must win!

…

Liu Yuan brought Zhizhi to the City Lord’s Mansion. Duan Lanruo also liked Zhizhi very much. After playing with her for a while, she asked Ah Yue to take care of Zhizhi and make some arrangements. She then went to host the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event.

Liu Yuan had no interest in watching the tide and listening to the sword.

He already knew the general plot.

To put it simply, Geng Qi had overcome all obstacles in the seven-day conference. In the early stages, he was nervous in front of people and not used to the rules of the competition, so he was in a disadvantageous position. With the encouragement of the players and some understanding of the plot, he rose up in the middle stage and finally won the championship of the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event.

There was not much need to fight in the whole process, and they just had to do collection quests and run errands.

Liu Yuan decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Cike. He always felt that it was very strange that Shen Sifan had stopped moving after he had made a move against Ye Cike. However, he could not directly ask another woman about the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family’s miserable appearance.

He glanced at Ye Cike, who was holding his hand.

He found that he had more and more accessories. One was Zhiying, one was Ye Cike, and one was Chuichui…

“Speaking of Chuichui, this fellow has been sleeping for quite a long time, right?”

Liu Yuan fished Chuichui out of his sleeve and found that the kitten was sleeping soundly. She turned over in his palm, curled up her paws, meowed in a daze, and stretched.

Liu Yuan was speechless. This girl must have been imprisoned under the Water Moon Lake for too long. She must have gotten used to sleeping for hundreds of years.

However, Chuichui had also evolved.

It was probably the chain effect of his breakthrough that Chuichui had actually slept her way into the Soul Formation stage.

“A demon beast at the Soul Formation stage?”

Ye Cike was surprised and reached out to touch the white cat’s soft fur. Chuichui suddenly woke up and turned over warily, revealing its sharp teeth at the girl.

“Meow meow meow!”

Chuichui quickly turned around and climbed onto Liu Yuan’s shoulder. She glared at Ye Cike. Hmph, she was a Scarlet Mist Flowing Scaled Wrym with a true dragon’s soul. How could any other human besides her mount touch her?

Ye Cike retracted her hand regretfully and looked up at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan touched Chuichui’s back and said, “She’s a wild one, and she has a bad temper.”

The cat stretched out her paw and patted the mount’s hand fiercely, meowing a few times in a dignified manner as a warning. It actually dared to say that Chuaichuai was wild, too bold!

Clearly, she was…

Eh? What was it again?

Strange… What was there to refute? Wasn’t she just a wild demon beast that was born in the world?

The demon dragon fell into a brief daze. She suddenly felt as if a long time ago, she was not as unrestrained as she had been in the world.

It was not the boring and painful hundreds of years under the Water Moon Lake, nor was it the decades of wanton killing and arrogantly wandering in the human world. It was not the short period of ignorance and birth from before, and it was so far away that it seemed to be thousands of years ago.

A strange sense of déjà vu suddenly emerged in her heart.

On the white, barren snow surface, there was blue ice below. It was extremely quiet. The silent snowflakes floated down with the wind, and someone was talking about something.

She could not hear what he was saying, but she felt like he was breathing hot air into her ears, making her feel itchy.

It felt like when the mount pinched her ear.

Chuichui could not help but twitch her ears as he became more and more puzzled.

How was that possible? She was clearly born in the lava, so how could she have seen snow before… But it seemed so real, so familiar.

The earth fire was located under the deep sea.

The ignorant demon dragon had just been born. As soon as she was born, she swam around excitedly. In the darkness, she saw the scattered light above her head and desperately wanted to breathe the air of freedom. She flew out of the sea and into the sky.

She left the ice. Under the extremely fast speed, the endless snow on the sea and the clouds in front of her merged into one, leaving only a faint trace in her memory.

At that time, there seemed to be a woman’s sigh behind her.

Strange, could it be that when a demon beast breaks through to the Soul Formation stage, it will experience this kind of illusion?

Chuichui shook her head, trying to get rid of those strange feelings that had suddenly appeared. When she tilted her head, she saw Liu Yuan’s side profile and leaned over to rub against him.

“Meow~” Her mount was still the best.

Liu Yuan reached out and rubbed the cat’s head. He was puzzled. This girl seemed to like acting coquettishly more and more.
