97: The pill was successfully formed, and the unruly girl

On the other side.

Relying on the essence energy, Lin Yuan finally touched the threshold of the Condensing Core Realm!

"Sister Shuang, to Breakthrough this realm, I need to open the second Meridian, right?"

"Yes, before that, you need to Condense a Qi Core, and then we will work together to open the Meridian."

"Good!"

With that, he took out the Coagulation Pill, a reward he had received from the Outer Sect Competition, and swallowed it directly.

Then, while dissolving the medicinal power, he fully Cultivated his Qi, and the abundant Origin Qi gathered within his body, continuously rotating and Condensing, eventually forming a thumb-sized, milky-white Core.

"Is this the Qi Core?"

Calming his mind, he could feel the powerful energy contained within the Core. The Origin Qi he could wield with it was much purer than when he was in the Opening Meridian Realm.

"Alright, Xiao Yuan, since you've successfully Condensing the Core, follow my power to impact your second Meridian—the Du Meridian!"

"Yes! Sister Shuang!"

Just like the first time they impacted the Ren Meridian, both of them focused intently, striking the entrance of the Meridian with all their might!

"What a fierce Aura! Is he really undergoing a Breakthrough to the Condensing Core Realm?"

The young woman not far away looked extremely surprised at the sight.

She still remembered that when she Condensing her Core, the Aura she emitted was less than half of his.

Looking at this person's Aura, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was undergoing a Breakthrough to the Qi Gathering Realm, would it?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Here, Lin Yuan and the other continued to impact the Meridian. With their unremitting efforts, the sealed Du Meridian finally opened a tiny crack.

Seizing this opportunity, they exerted all their strength and pushed, and the Meridian was finally completely opened. A vast amount of Yang Qi burst forth from it, pouring into the young man's limbs and bones!

Refreshing!

So refreshing!

For a moment, Lin Yuan felt his body filled with strength, as if a Heavenly God stood before him, and he could even knock him down.

"Gulp."

The Aura that erupted when the other party successfully Broke Through completely astonished the young woman. Her beautiful eyes widened, saliva rolled in her throat, and her face was filled with disbelief.

This was too fierce!

Condensing a Qi Core was like opening a Qi Sea. Who undergoes a Breakthrough to the Condensing Core Realm like this?

Is this young man a Reincarnation of a great power, or does he possess a Saint Body?

As she was in shock, Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at her, saying, "Who are you? Why are you peeking at my Breakthrough?"

As he asked, his gaze scanned her up and down, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The woman was dressed in a white dress, with delicate features and long hair draped over her shoulders. Her upper body's peaks were slightly raised, and her long legs were as white as pillars. Below that were a pair of purple wooden slippers, with her sparkling insteps and round toes exposed, unreservedly displaying their beauty to the world.

What a beautiful and vibrant young woman!

He had noticed someone secretly peeking around earlier, but he didn't expect it to be such a delicate young lady.

He wondered why she was peeking at him?

Peeking?

I'm peeking at you?

Upon hearing his words, the young woman came back to her senses, and the anger that had accumulated instantly ignited!

"Little thief! This Young Miss was kind enough not to interrupt your Breakthrough? And you actually say I'm peeking? How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world?"

The young woman, stepping in her slippers, quickly leaped in front of him, yelling and gesticulating wildly.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but frown. This little beauty looked pretty, but her personality was so bad?

"What do you mean by that? Why do you call me a little thief? I haven't stolen anything from you."

"Heh heh, you stole my clouds, and you still say you didn't?"

"Stole your clouds?"

"Yes, this Young Miss painstakingly gathered clouds for half a day, and you suddenly took them all away. Tell me, aren't you a thief?"

"This..."

Lin Yuan finally understood. It turned out that his previous actions had accidentally absorbed her clouds, which was truly unexpected.

"I'm sorry, Young Miss, it was indeed my oversight. I was focused on making a quick Breakthrough and didn't observe the situation in the distance. I directly used the Cloud Gathering Stone, and I didn't expect it to disrupt your Cultivation."

After learning the reason, he bowed apologetically, full of remorse.

After all, he had taken her results, so a formal apology was necessary.

Looking at his handsome face and hearing his sincere words, the young woman's anger immediately subsided by more than half.

"You, little thief, are quite polite. Since you didn't do it on purpose, I won't pursue your crime deeply."

Lin Yuan smiled, "Thank you for your understanding, Young Miss."

The young woman raised her head and hummed, "Don't be happy too soon. Although I won't pursue it deeply, the compensation still cannot be less."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's smile stiffened. He thought that the other party indeed had suffered quite a loss, so he sighed softly, "Alright, what compensation do you want?"

"Hmm... let this Young Miss think for a moment..."

The young woman rested her chin on her hand, her eyes darting around. Suddenly, she thought of something and blurted out, "This Young Miss is in need of a servant. You can serve me for a month, and when the time is up, I'll set you free."

"Ah?"

Lin Yuan's expression froze, and he immediately refused, "I'm sorry, I've never been a servant to anyone. I'm afraid I cannot fulfill this request."

The young woman looked displeased, "Do you know how many people beg to be my servant? This immense fortune has fallen upon you, and you actually refuse it? You, little thief, are too ungrateful!"

Lin Yuan scoffed, "They like to be bootlickers, but I'm not interested."

"What does 'bootlicker' mean?"

"It means someone who pursues you."

"Oh? You mean you're jealous because I have so many people pursuing me, right?"

At this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Are you sick?"

"What did you say!?"

The young woman instantly became angry and raised her pink fist to strike.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and grasped her fist, placating her helplessly, "Young Miss, please calm down. Let's talk properly, don't just act recklessly and harm our harmony, okay?"

"You've insulted me, how can I calm down?"

"That was a slip of the tongue, but what you said was really a bit hard to understand."

"You mean it's my problem?"

"First, stop hitting me, then we can discuss whose problem it is."

Lin Yuan exerted force with his palm, and with a "bang," he pushed her away.

The young woman took a step back, her face quite surprised.

She was at the fifth level of the Condensing Core Realm, and she was actually pushed away by this ant who had just entered the Condensing Core Realm?

How did this little thief do it?

Just as she was about to question him, a figure suddenly flew from a distance and landed beside the two of them.

This was a woman, dressed in a long ink-colored dress, with a tall and graceful figure, and a beautiful, otherworldly face. She wore a deep purple butterfly hair ornament in her dark hair, giving her the mysterious Aura of a dark elf.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Mo, why are you here?"

Seeing the newcomer, the young woman put away her surprise and turned to ask.

The woman softly said, "Revered Master has something for you. I didn't sense your presence on the Cloud Sovereign Peak, so he ordered me to find you."

With that, she glanced at the young man, feeling instantly impressed: "What a handsome young man. When did Cloud Sovereign Peak have such a young Disciple?"

Lin Yuan met her gaze, cupped his fists, and bowed, "I am Lin Yuan. Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Lin Yuan? Are you the Prodigy who displayed Four Tiger Strength in the assessment?"

Upon hearing his name, the woman immediately blurted out the words.
