671: Chapter 671 Qin Yu of the Academy

You opened your hand, the messaging Jade Slip hovering in your palm. As a wisp of spiritual energy was injected into it, rows of glowing characters appeared before you, and Liu Ruyan's voice echoed simultaneously—

"Young Master, I miss you so much. Where are you? The Clan Chief told me just now that she wants to send me to seduce someone called Yun Xiaozi. I don't want to go. If she insists on forcing me, I will commit suicide to atone for my sins. I would rather die than betray you."

Yun Xiaozi?

You understood—it seemed this was caused by the rescue of Ziyang Palace.

It didn't take much thought to know it was Liu Xuerong's idea; she was likely trying to win over Yun Xiaozi.

The corners of your mouth twitched, your voice transforming into spiritual patterns that drilled into the Jade Slip: "That Yun Xiaozi is likely referring to me; you may agree."

A moment later, the Jade Slip carried the joyful voice of Liu Ruyan.

You ignored it and flipped through the other messages from her and Liu Jinfeng.

As you read, your brows furrowed slightly.

It turned out that when the Tianyin Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect were destroyed, Liu Jinfeng had sent you messages.

You just hadn't seen them.

Especially the time the Heavenly Sword Sect was annihilated; it happened shortly after Qin Han's Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm.

After finishing Liu Jinfeng's message, you looked at the ruins before you, clenched your fists, and couldn't help but feel a sliver of regret in your heart.

But thinking too much was ultimately useless.

After calming down for a moment, you took a deep breath, preparing to leave.

Just then, a figure appeared—a seemingly ordinary young female Cultivator, it was Meaty, having used a transformation technique.

She looked at you without speaking, her eyes red.

"How did you know I was here?" you asked.

"I went to Ziyang Palace and discovered that the matter had already been resolved. I heard about your business and guessed you might come here," she said.

You didn't respond, turned around, and began to walk away, leaving behind one sentence: "Take good care of yourself."

Having said that, you took a step and vanished.

She stood where she was, looking in the direction you had disappeared, stunned for a long time.

At the same time, she felt a murmur of doubt in her heart—looking at how you reacted to the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was clear you had a very deep connection with them.

But how had she never heard of someone like you?

Carrying this doubt, she followed after you.

You saw Meaty following you but didn't say much.

This was just a Clone of hers; even if she encountered danger, she could simply dissipate it decisively.

Therefore, you immediately took her to Ziyang Immortal City and stepped onto the Teleportation Array. After several transfers, you finally arrived at the Killing Dao Academy of the Kunlun Dao Academy.

After appearing at the Killing Dao Academy, you spread your Divine Thought and found Qin Yu in an inconspicuous courtyard, then immediately took Meaty and flashed into Qin Yu's courtyard.

Qin Yu, who was in the middle of closed-door meditation in the side room, sensed your arrival, immediately rose to open the door, and stared straight at the Meaty by your side.

She walked over with a smile and teased: "Yo, where did you abduct this young lady from? She looks so fresh and lovely."

Meaty glanced at Qin Yu and replied with a smile: "Sister, don't misunderstand. This Senior and I are just meeting for the first time."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you abducted someone the first time you met? Oh my goodness, you're really something." Qin Yu gave you a thumbs up.

You didn't follow up on her comment and transmitted your voice: "How is your Cultivation going? What is your Realm now?"

She had used some secret technique to conceal her cultivation and aura, and even you couldn't see through it.

This was also something you had instructed her to do—focus on Cultivating and don't expose yourself until you reach the Mahayana Realm.

"Body Integration Early Stage, just broke through not long ago," she replied via voice transmission.

You were slightly shocked.

It had only been two hundred-plus years.

She had already reached the Body Integration Early Stage?

She was truly worthy of being a Chaos Spiritual Root and Chaos Body; compared to you, it was like night and day.

If you had her Aptitude—you shook your head in your heart; forget it.

With her Aptitude, if she weren't protected by a big shot, she wouldn't be able to grow at all if she showed even a little bit of her talent.

Just like the time she left the Tianhuang Secret Realm and never returned; she likely met with danger.

That was why you had urged her repeatedly, no matter what, not to expose her Aptitude and cultivation, to keep a low profile until she reached the Mahayana Realm before taking action.

You just hadn't expected that by burying her head in hard work like this, she would reach the Body Integration Stage in a mere two hundred-plus years.

Such incredible Aptitude must be in a league of its own even in the Immortal Domain, right?

But the more monstrous she was, the more uneasy you felt; it was too frightening.

You still preferred being that transparent person no one paid attention to; it would be best if no one bothered with you and everyone ignored you as a good-for-nothing.

Seeing you lost in thought, Qin Yu smiled, took Meaty's hand, greeted you, and the three of you sat down in the pavilion before asking: "Do you have business with me this time?"

"How many Academy contribution points do you have? Is it enough to exchange for a Mind-Cultivation Technique to break through to the Mahayana Realm?" you asked directly.

Qin Yu looked at you and retorted: "Are you really my brother?"

"Who else would it be if not your brother? Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly," you interrupted her.

Meaty sat to the side, silent, listening intently.

"A Mahayana Mind-Cultivation Technique costs ten thousand contribution points; I'm still short six thousand," Qin Yu said with a serious face.

"So expensive?"

You frowned, recalling that in previous simulations, doing a mission only gave a few or a dozen points.

To save up to ten thousand, how long would that take?

"Actually, it's not expensive," Qin Yu explained. "You told me to keep a low profile while Cultivating, so externally I'm still only at the Nascent Soul stage and haven't taken any Body Integration Stage missions. A single Body Integration Cultivator mission rewards several thousand contribution points; one or two would be enough."

Meaty suddenly spoke: "Isn't it a good thing for the Academy if one more person breaks through to the Mahayana Realm? Don't those Vice Deans provide it for free?"

Qin Yu smiled as she looked at her: "The Three Thousand Academies are a microcosm of the Immortal Domain; they are all places that prioritize interests. This stuff is the accumulated lifeblood of countless predecessors; why would they give it to you for free? Unless you pledge your allegiance to them."

"Asking those Mahayana experts for it definitely won't work; they will either make you dependent on them or propose harsh conditions," you said with a smile.

You actually had a plan long ago—buy the Mind-Cultivation Technique from the Academy and go to the Wuji Immortal Sect to break through.

With Qin Han as a Protector and the Immortal Sword as a Protector, no one would dare to launch a sneak attack.

Choosing to buy the Mind-Cultivation Technique from the Academy was, firstly, the easiest way, and secondly, the Academy's Mahayana Mind-Cultivation Techniques gathered the lifeblood of countless predecessors, so the success rate should be the highest.

After thinking for a moment, you spoke again: "Fine, then let's go to the Mission Hall to take on a Body Integration mission."

"How will we complete it after taking it? Wouldn't I have to expose my Body Integration cultivation?" Qin Yu asked.

"Don't worry, you don't need to act," you smiled.

Qin Yu's eyes widened: "Then you'll act?"

Just as she finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from the spatial ring on your finger and landed on the stone table—it was Qin Han.

Qin Han raised its head and patted its chest with a smile: "No need for Daddy to act, I'm here."

"Yo, little Clumsy, why don't you call me Auntie?" Qin Yu teased.

Qin Han shrank its neck and shouted indistinctly: "Dudu..."

"Hey, what a good boy, hee hee hee." Qin Yu giggled as she patted its head, then looked at you: "Let's go."

You nodded and looked at the serious-looking Meaty: "Meaty, you stay here for now; we're going to take care of some business."

"I have a question I want to ask you," Meaty looked at you earnestly.

"What question?"
