123: Chapter 123 Methods to Accelerate the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core

Over the next two years, aside from occasionally fooling around with Xiao Fanzi, you also took time out to handle two matters halfway through.

The first matter was casually breaking through your cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage, giving your makeshift master quite a shock; after successfully lighting your soul lamp, you obtained the Foundation Establishment cultivation method of the Xuantian Sword Scripture.

The second matter was something you had remembered for a long time—that Nascent Soul Stage demon from Tianfeng City who had used its pressure to intimidate you several times that day.

You didn't have time before, but now that you were free, it was just the right moment to give it a little surprise.

You didn't do anything too out of line; you just spent a little money to hire a few sharp rogue cultivators to deliver messages to the surrounding major sects respectively, spreading the news that a peak Nascent Soul demon was about to be born.

The long night was like water as two figures snuggled closely under the moonlight, and the occasional soft chuckles overflowing added a few more touches of lingering affection and ambiguity to the scene.

"Junior Brother, do you have any wishes?"

You leaned into Lin Bufan's arms, raised your head, blinked a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, and looked at him full of anticipation.

"Mn..."

Lin Bufan put on a thoughtful expression, then, taking advantage of your inattention, quickly kissed you on the lips.

"Does marrying Senior Sister count?"

Tsk...

At it again with this routine, you pouted and unhappily tried to get up, only to be pressed back down by the person behind you.

Lin Bufan withdrew the frivolous look on his face, gave you a serious look, and then raised his head to look at the night sky.

"I want to become a powerful expert, so that no one will ever be able to bully me again, and I'll have enough strength to protect the people around me."

Sigh~ Young Son of Destiny, ideals are indeed always so unpretentious.

It seems like some protagonist's initial wish was just to buy a house...

"I believe Junior Brother can definitely do it, and you will do even better than everyone imagines!"

You gazed at him, your eyes filled with unreserved sincerity and expectations.

Lin Bufan's expression was slightly startled, and his heart was instantly filled with immense emotion.

What virtue or ability did he possess to actually win such favor from such a perfect Senior Sister?

"Senior Sister, rest assured, I will definitely do it!"

As his words fell, an unprecedented heroic spirit suddenly rose in Lin Bufan's heart.

You seemed very satisfied with this, nodded gently, and quietly leaned into his embrace.

"What about Senior Sister? What is your wish?"

Lin Bufan gently stroked your long hair, feeling an incomparable sense of peace in his heart.

Your gaze flickered slightly, you shook your head, and only spoke softly a moment later:

"With my talent, being fortunate enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage is already the limit. Being able to accompany Junior Brother from now on is already very good."

Hearing this, Lin Bufan frowned slightly. But looking at your delicate appearance devoid of any fighting spirit at the moment, coupled with your posture of wholehearted reliance, a trace of pity involuntarily welled up in his heart.

"Master, is there a method to accelerate cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"Cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage, when all is said and done, has no essential difference from the Qi Refinement Stage. The true natural chasm is crossing from the Foundation Establishment peak to the Golden Core Stage. With this little girl's talent, it is indeed very difficult to cross."

The Ring Old Man was silent for a moment before continuing to speak:

"According to what this old man knows, by this era, there is only one method capable of accelerating the cultivation progress of this special realm."

"What method?"

Lin Bufan's breathing became a bit hurried, and he unconsciously hugged the person in his arms tighter.

You leaned peacefully in his arms, the corners of your lips lifted slightly. Seeing his nervous appearance, you silently concluded: half of the matter had already succeeded.

"The so-called Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core, when all is said and done, is nothing more than the process of dispersing the spiritual Qi in the body nine times and re-condensing it nine times. Spiritual objects such as pills cannot be borrowed; it relies entirely on personal talent and comprehension. Back in the day, this old man..."

"Ahem! Teacher!"

Hearing this familiar opening line, Lin Bufan was so scared his scalp went numb, and he quickly spoke up to interrupt:

"Qingyu is still feeling upset; why don't you tell me your story alone next time."

"Hmph! This old man wouldn't even care to tell you!"

The Ring Old Man gave a soft huff before returning to the main topic.

"Yet this realm is extremely special. It has no bottlenecks, requires no comprehension of cultivation methods, and Golden Core secret techniques are merely supplementary. Although this realm cannot be accelerated by pills or spiritual objects, it can utilize special external objects entering the body to assist cultivation."

"What do you mean by external objects?"

The Ring Old Man chuckled heinously and said with a sinister tone:

"Have you ever heard of Gu insects?"

"Gu insects?!"

Lin Bufan's expression changed.

"Can such legendary evil objects even help with cultivation?"

"Bah! You ignorant, yellow-haired brat."

The Ring Old Man cursed angrily in annoyance.

"Gu insects are the essence of heaven and earth. How could a mere Qi Refining junior like you understand the profound mysteries within them?"

"Then where should we go to look for Gu insects?"

Lin Bufan gave an embarrassed smile and hurriedly asked with a flattering expression.

"Chanming Prefecture!"

After some exchange, Lin Bufan looked at the woman in his arms with a complex expression, momentarily unsure whether or not he should tell you this news.

"Junior Brother, is there something you want to tell Senior Sister?"

You reached out to wrap your arms around his neck, leaning in his embrace like a lazy cat.

Xiao Fanzi, if you make Senior Sister disappointed, you're going to suffer a lot!

"Mn!"

Lin Bufan let his mind wander for a while, then quickly reined in those messy thoughts and told you everything he learned from his teacher word for word.

However, the source of the news was once again claimed to have been accidentally seen in some ancient family text.

Chanming Prefecture!

Your heart suddenly became enlightened; no wonder Lin Qianqian, that little girl encountered in the Lin family during the simulation, had such a special background.

Turns out, she was simply a cheat item for core formation tailor-made for the protagonist Lin Bufan!

Keeping your expression calm on the surface, you cooperated by nodding, and then revealed a hint of worry.

"But Junior Brother, I... I don't dare to go alone."

Since it was a cheat item exclusive to the protagonist, naturally the protagonist had to get it himself. You weren't arrogant enough to rely on your late Foundation Establishment cultivation to forcefully barge into the Son of Destiny's core-formation dungeon.

"Senior Sister, rest assured!"

Lin Bufan tightly wrapped your small hand into his palm, saying with an extremely serious tone:

"After Junior Brother reaches Foundation Establishment, I will definitely accompany Senior Sister there together. Even if there are mountains of blades and seas of fire ahead, I will definitely find that Gu insect for Senior Sister!"

"Junior Brother~"

You drew out your tone, your shifting gaze filled entirely with unshakeable tenderness and a trace of undisguised admiration.

Of course you believed him, or rather, you believed in the methods and scheming of that Ring Old Man.

Immediately after, the arms you had draped around his neck applied slight strength, taking the initiative to kiss his lips.

This was Xiao Fanzi's well-deserved reward; no more words were needed.

With the moonlight high in the sky, the two snuggled figures gradually blurred into the night...
