43: Chapter 43 Presenting Yao Jia with the Spiritual Rhinoceros Pendant, the Outer Sect's Face-Slapping is Secure

Li Siwen's (Li Shiwen's) question about the Tongqiao Extreme Realm Pill had just been posted in the group when the brief silence was instantly broken.

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui]: "Waaah! Sister Shiwen! You, you, you... you've already reached Aperture Opening Completion?! How long has it been?! (ΩДΩ)"

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui]: "From Body Tempering to Aperture Opening Completion! Sister, did you Cultivate on a Flying Sword?! This speed is too terrifying! Wuwuwu... with my meager Dao cultivation, how will I ever have the face to speak in front of you again!"

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui]: "I don't care anymore! Sister Shiwen! From now on, I'm sticking with you! Please carry me! Please let me cling to your thigh! I want to lie flat! I want to be an accessory! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ"

[Ding! Mo Rui's shock and adoration +85]

[Ding! Mo Rui's thigh-hugging declaration +70]

Mo Rui's series of exaggerated expressions and words instantly ignited the group's atmosphere.

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "Hiss... Aperture Opening Completion? My attention was just on the Medicinal Pill. Junior Sister Shiwen, your Cultivation speed is probably even more outrageous than those True Disciple of our Holy Land who are piled with resources! My Pill Furnace is almost exploding from shock!"

[Ding! Tang Jingjing's belated realization and astonishment +65]

[Saintess of Tianxuan - Su Qingxue]: "...Indeed astonishing. Such talent is rare in the world."

[Ding! Su Qingxue's approval +45]

[Saintess of Kunlun - Shang Ting]: "Aperture Opening Completion... Foundation is stable, not superficial. It seems the Opportunity you obtained far exceeds expectations. Very good."

[Ding! Shang Ting's calm analysis +50]

A series of System prompts sounded in Li Siwen's mind, yielding a rich harvest of emotion points.

Li Siwen looked at the reactions of the Saintess in the group, and a smile couldn't help but curl at the corner of her mouth. A mischievous thought arose, and she decided to be a bit 'Versailles'.

[Jiuji - Li Shiwen]: "Oh, sisters, you flatter me too much~ (✿◡‿◡)"

[Jiuji - Li Shiwen]: "It's just good luck, really. I accidentally fell into a small spiritual spring and took a bath, then picked a few wild fruits that tasted pretty good to eat, slept in a daze, and when I woke up... huh? It seems my Realm just jumped up on its own? I was surprised too~"

[Jiuji - Li Shiwen]: "Cultivation is really hard, you know? I didn't feel a thing, how did I reach Perfection? It's really troublesome~"

[Ding! Mo Rui's envy and covetousness +80]

[Ding! Tang Jingjing's inability to hold back laughter +35]

[Ding! Su Qingxue's helplessness +30]

[Ding! Shang Ting's speechlessness +25]

The group was instantly flooded with Li Siwen's "tea-like remarks" and "Versailles glow". The Saintess were both annoyed and amused, and emotion points were harvested fiercely once again.

After the fun, Li Siwen put away her playful attitude and once again solemnly thanked the Saintess, promising to do her best to repay them if they ever needed anything in the future.

The Saintess also expressed that there was no need to be polite and told him to prepare for his upcoming Cultivation with peace of mind.

Exiting the group chat, the group in reality had already arrived at the outer sect area of the Xuanjian Sect.

Chen Mingtao stopped and said to Li Siwen and Chen Yaojia: "Alright, since we've returned safely, Yaojia, you've just had a Breakthrough, so you need to immediately return to seclusion to consolidate your Realm. Do not delay, lest you leave hidden dangers."

He then turned to Li Siwen, his expression serious, and said: "Junior Sister Li, since you have already reached Aperture Opening, you can apply for promotion to the Outer Sect according to the sect rules."

"You should first return to your original residence and wait. I will immediately report this matter to the Deacon Hall and arrange a promotion assessment for you. With your cultivation, the assessment should be no problem, just a formality. I believe there will be a result soon."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother!" Li Siwen bowed slightly.

Chen Mingtao nodded, then gave Chen Yaojia a few more instructions before turning and leaving with the Law Enforcement Team members, apparently to busy himself with her promotion.

Only Li Siwen and Chen Yaojia remained.

Chen Yaojia looked at Li Siwen, her heroic brows still carrying a hint of excitement and lingering indignation: "Siwen, I'll go back to seclusion first! You prepare for the assessment with peace of mind. When we come out of seclusion, we'll go find trouble with that Chu Youcai together!"

Li Siwen smiled slightly, took out the pair of [lingxi twin pendants] obtained from the twenty consecutive draws from her System space, and handed one to Chen Yaojia.

"Sister Yaojia, this is for you."

Chen Yaojia took the jade pendant, feeling its warmth to the touch. It was carved with profound runes, and she could faintly sense a subtle connection pointing to the other jade pendant.

"This is...?" She looked at it curiously.

"This item is called 'Lingxi Jade Pendant'," Li Siwen explained. "The twin pendants are one. Within a certain distance, the wearer can vaguely sense the other's approximate location and emotional fluctuations. It takes effect after dripping blood to recognize a master. If you encounter danger or get separated again in the future, you might be able to find each other with this item."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yaojia's beautiful eyes lit up. She bit her fingertip without hesitation and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the jade pendant.

The jade pendant flashed with a faint light, and the sense of connection immediately became much clearer.

"Good stuff!" She happily put away the jade pendant, her gaze at Li Siwen becoming even softer. "Then I... I'll go first!"

"Wait!"

As Chen Yaojia turned back in confusion, Li Siwen suddenly pulled her into an embrace and kissed her deeply.

"Mmm..." Chen Yaojia's heart pounded. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, placing her hands on Li Siwen's chest, but it turned into a gentle caress.

As a result, Li Siwen also let out a soft hum. She was in women's clothing now, and this feeling of being touched...

Both of their moods became very strange, and they both flushed and avoided eye contact.

Chen Yaojia didn't even say goodbye, turning into a stream of light and disappearing.

Li Siwen watched her leave, then lightly caressed her own chest, her expression quite odd.

Next time, I need to find an Opportunity to change back into men's clothing!

Then she also turned and walked towards her secluded residence.

Returning to the small house she had been away from for several days, Li Siwen closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief. Her tightly strung mind finally completely relaxed.

Although this outdoor training experience was not long, the richness of the experience, the immense risks, and the astonishing gains far exceeded the sum of all her past time!

She sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to meticulously tally her gains from this trip.

First, the massive increase in cultivation!

From Pulse Forging Realm Perfection, she soared all the way to Aperture Opening Completion! Crossing a major stage, her strength underwent earth-shattering changes!

Second, the gains in resources:

Living Spirit Spring: Obtained a large amount of spring water, and the entire blessed land was stored in the [xuan kong ring]. This means possessing a sustainable and regenerative top-tier Cultivation resource treasury!

Second and Third-Tier Yao Beast Materials: The corpses were all intact and extremely valuable, but they were all given to Tang Jingjing for alchemy.

Hopefully, the Medicinal Pill for treating Senior Brother Yu Qing will be refined smoothly!

Various Spiritual Plant and Medicinal Materials: Some low-tier Spiritual Plant of ancient vintage collected around the periphery of the blessed land.

Third, the significant enrichment of items and props, mainly from the twenty consecutive draws:

Dao Yi Puppet (Damaged) with a remnant soul of Yue Li (Artifact Spirit) embedded, possessing Tianyuan Realm combat power, currently her greatest trump card.

xuan kong ring: Contains a Small World, capable of housing a blessed land, its strategic value is immeasurable.

lingxi twin pendants: One has already been shared with Chen Yaojia.

vein forging extreme realm pill *3: From Tang Jingjing, which can help him completely achieve Pulse Forging Realm, solidifying the strongest Foundation.

Elementary Sword Dao Dao marks, Innate Body Refining Art, these can greatly enhance his combat power.

Fourth, the expansion of connections and relationships:

The relationship with Chen Yaojia has progressed rapidly, reaching a new height of tacit understanding and trust.

Established a preliminary good impression with Chen Mingtao and other Law Enforcement Team members.

After tallying, Li Siwen's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

The gains are immense, and the road ahead is also full of challenges.

Next, first refine the vein forging extreme realm pill to complete the Vein Forging Extreme Realm, then Cultivate the Basic Sword Dao and Innate Body Refining Art.

If there's enough time, then take the marrow cleansing pill to raise his cultivation to the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

Once he enters the Outer Sect, what will Chu Youcai use to fight him?

By then, not only can he avenge Yu Qing, but he also won't have to worry about being coveted.
