60: Chapter 60 Lin Qingyu: This time I'm going to take it back...

[Evaluation: Hands stained with blood for three thousand zhang, my heart has no regrets facing the vast expanse. Bones pave the road of longevity, how dare this body ask for the way back?]

[Comprehensive Score: 200 (What a Lin Qingyu)]

[Evolution Points Acquired: 20 points]

[Current number of fixable traits is zero. Do you wish to choose a trait to replace?]

'Replace the timer with Windfall.'

[Replacement successful. The trait "Whispers Among the Clouds" has been fixed.]

[Simulation Rewards This Time:]

[One: Memories of this simulation]

[Two: Cultivation base of this simulation]

[Three: Items carried on the body at the end of the simulation]

Lin Qingyu calmly finished watching the mini-movie.

"Swish, swish~"

Immediately afterwards, a surging force of vital blood gestated within her body, and the sound of crashing waves seemed to echo beside her ears. Her whole person felt as if she had fallen into a hot spring, and a warm current carrying vitality washed through all her limbs and bones.

"Mhn~"

She couldn't help letting out a soft hum. Compared to Qi Condensation, the enhancement of physical strength seemed even easier to intoxicate one into it.

After a moment, once the aura within her body calmed down, Lin Qingyu's divine sense probed into her dantian and discovered a rather massive strand of love-mist lingering inside.

Since it could be accumulated, she would wait until after Foundation Establishment to refine it all together.

Then Lin Qingyu took out a storage bag.

After her divine sense probed into the interior, her originally calm expression visibly flushed red.

"Damn!"

This old fellow actually threw an empty one!

Lin Qingyu's knuckles cracked and snapped. After a long while, she sneered through clenched teeth.

"Good! Very good! Extremely good!"

After a few deep breaths, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and cast her gaze toward the light screen before her.

'Open the panel!'

[Name: Lin Qingyu]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 18]

[Cultivation: Qi Condensation Level 9]

[Body Refining: Body Refining Tier 1 (Ningyue Realm) High Stage]

[Technique: Taiyin Xuanshu Body-Refining Scripture, Xuantian Sword Scripture (Qi Condensation Chapter), Thousand Silk Love-Inducing Formula (Qi Condensation Chapter)]

[Secret Art: Twin Luminaries Spirit-Evolving Chapter (Small Accomplishment), Mirror Image Water Moon (Small Accomplishment), Thousand Mechanisms Transformation (Small Accomplishment)]

[Spiritual Roots: Metal, Water, Fire (Superior)]

[Traits: Jade Marrow Physique (Great Accomplishment: 43/100) (Purple) Dust Transformation (Gold) Red Dust Immortal (Red) Whispers Among the Clouds (Purple) Night Owl (Blue)]

[Spells: Compendium of Pseudo-Spells (Small Accomplishment), Fireball Technique (Great Accomplishment), Water Mirror Technique (Small Accomplishment)]

Lin Qingyu's brows furrowed slightly. Jade Marrow Physique only increased by 5 points?

Furthermore, even though the Twin Luminaries Spirit-Evolving Chapter had reached small accomplishment, her spiritual power absorption speed hadn't seen any substantial improvement in the last three years.

It seemed the quality of her dual cultivation partner left room for improvement.

Bai Shouzhuo, huh...

Looking at the storage bag in her hand, the corners of Lin Qingyu's lips curled into a tiny arc.

In three years, she had basically figured out everything about Bailu City inside and out, as well as the city lord's "weakness". It was just that that old fox's strength was hidden too deeply.

However, a trace of doubt always remained deep within Lin Qingyu's heart. After all, Bai Youyou and Yang Yan would by no means deceive her, so there must have been some changes in between.

But it didn't matter; she had always been a person who knew current affairs. Since it was difficult to defeat him head-on, she would slowly slice him with a soft knife.

'System, add points, simulate!'

[Jade Marrow Physique (Great Accomplishment: 63/100)]

[Drawing talent traits...]

[Trait acquired: Well-Preserved Charm (White)]

[Well-Preserved Charm: Between your gestures, you occasionally reveal a gentle and composed demeanor, as if you have already experienced the mortal world and seen through all sails.]

[Plain translation: Unintentionally, you will exude a hint of a married-woman vibe, deeply favored by certain cultivators with special fetishes.]

Lin Qingyu: "..."

[Simulation begins]

[On the first day, you summoned a water mirror to carefully examine your own appearance, finding no trace of any married-woman vibe within it.]

[On the second day, you casually dismissed Ling Shuanghua, who was suspected of harboring illicit intentions.]

[On the third day, you headed straight for Mingxiao Peak, which was the main peak where that female Core Formation True Person resided back then.]

[Bai Shouzhuo's legal wife was a zither cultivator who also died in that ambush. You are not prepared to follow the path of acoustics, but learning the zither is the first step.]

[After all, that sharp-minded city lord hasn't married a second wife or concubine in over a dozen years, so he must be a person who places great importance on emotions.]

[Since you want to take back everything that belongs to you, then this time, start from the other party's weakest spot!]

[Tianxuan Sword Sect stands relying on nine peaks in a Nine Palaces formation, with Mingxiao Peak located in the true east.]

[Completely different from Doujian Peak's solemn and stern atmosphere, Mingxiao Peak is lush with trees, filled with the fragrance of flowers, and even has harmless small demonic beasts leisurely wandering through it, presenting a scene resembling a utopia.]

[You didn't fly on a sword directly, but instead walked slowly along the long cableway. After all, your current identity is just an immortal cultivation newbie who has only entered the sect for two and a half days.]

[Walking to the mountainside, your body suddenly grew light, uncontrollably floating into the air. Before you could make any reaction, the scenery before your eyes was already spinning.]

[When you recovered your senses, you were already standing outside an exquisite bamboo house.]

[That day's beautiful matron was sitting upright by the stone table in the courtyard, a pair of gentle, water-like eyes curiously sizing you up.]

["Senior!"]

[You quickly stepped forward, biting the bullet to cup your hands in greeting.]

[After all, you rejected her just two days ago, and today you came eagerly knocking on her door to study.]

["No need to be nervous. What business brings you to Mingxiao Peak?"]

[The matron didn't seem to have much emotion, being as gentle as when you first met.]

["My master says that a sword cultivator should first contemplate refining the heart, so this disciple thought of learning a musical instrument first to hone my state of mind."]

[Although you spoke whatever came to mind, every single sentence made sense.]

["Oh?"]

[The corners of the matron's eyes lifted slightly, looking at you with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.]

["This seat has known Qingming for hundreds of years, yet I never noticed he could utter such high-level insights."]

[You were seen through.]

[You didn't feel guilty at all, revealing a flattering smile on your face.]

["Senior, it's mainly because junior felt a sense of closeness when first seeing you, and after pondering over the past two days, I still wanted to come see you."]

["Hmph~ Little slippery head."]

[The matron let out a soft, exasperated hum, reaching out her finger to tap your head.]

["Speak, what do you want to learn?"]

["To play the zither."]

["Very well, but I can only teach you the skill; the Dharma cannot be easily transmitted."]

[With that, without waiting for you to speak, her gaze was already cast toward the bamboo house.]

["Linger."]

[The bamboo curtain rustled softly, and a little... loli walked out slowly from inside.]

[She was dressed in a plain white and cyan gauze wide-sleeve dress, with a jade-green long flute hanging from her waist.]

[Willow brows, apricot eyes, upturned nose, and cherry lips—truly a standard beauty-in-the-making.]

["What is it?"]

[As soon as the little loli opened her mouth, her tone was completely unlike her cute appearance, instead exuding an undisguised impatience.]

[Without waiting for the matron to answer, her gaze fell upon you, the uninvited guest. After sizing you up from top to bottom, the impatience in her tone subsided by a few fractions.]

["Who is she again? Your newly accepted disciple?"]

["Your Martial Uncle Qingming's disciple."]

[A trace of helplessness flashed across the matron's brows and eyes, seeming quite troubled by the little loli's temperament.]

[Martial Uncle?]

[Hearing this title, your heart was slightly startled. A Foundation Establishment cultivator? And her status seemed quite extraordinary, showing no awe whatsoever toward this great Core Formation realm cultivator.]

["What is his disciple doing coming to Mingxiao Peak?"]

[With her hands behind her back, the little loli paced over in front of you, slightly lifting her chin as a pair of sparkling, large eyes stared straight at you.]

["To learn the zither."]

["Oh..."]

[The little loli named Linger instantly lost interest and turned around to leave.]

["You will teach her."]

["What!?"]

[Hearing the exclamation, the matron didn't even lift her eyelids. With a light flick of her sleeve, she swept both of you together into the bamboo house.]

[The large and small beauties stared at each other with wide eyes inside the room, speechless for a moment.]
