If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 185 Going and Returning

Lu Qingyao tasted the benefits of the life-changing pill and was extremely delighted. She immediately began to absorb vital energy again to consolidate the widened meridians and qi sea.

If this goes on for a long time, she is confident that she can cultivate to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation even without the need for high-level Yuan Crystals.

The vital energy continued to flow into her body, and she absorbed it much faster.

"If I had known, I would have saved myself some more intermediate crystals. Sigh... I am so stupid and complacent... Why didn't I trust him earlier?"

Lu Qingyao was a little annoyed. She hated herself for not taking the life-changing pill earlier.

At that time, she felt that she had no hope of breaking through, so she gave many mid-level Yuan Crystals to Lin Shiyi, hoping that he would lead the palace master and the monks to improve their cultivation.

But now, after taking the life-changing pill, she had a vague hope of a breakthrough and immediately regretted it.

In fact, what she didn't know was that the red light that expanded her qi sea was transmitted from Lin Shiyi. She thought that her qualifications had improved.

Just when she was distressed, something strange happened.

Thick and pure immortal energy suddenly poured into her dantian, which made Lu Qingyao surprised and happy for a moment.

Although she was a little overwhelmed, she was also a very intelligent woman. She immediately gathered all the immortal power without hesitation and used it to expand her qi sea.

With the nourishment of these pure immortal powers, her Qi sea expanded rapidly, and the amount of vital energy it contained gradually increased, slowly rising to a critical point.

"More...faster..."

She frowned slightly and closed her eyes, muttering to herself with a hint of desire in her tone. She was the only one who knew the frustration of not being able to break through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation for many years. Now that the breakthrough was just around the corner, how could she not be excited?

Although she didn't know where the pure immortal power came from, she would never give up the opportunity to break through.

Just as she thought, these immortal powers seemed to be endless. No matter how she consumed them, they still continuously appeared in her dantian.

Lu Qingyao was so happy that she gathered all the spiritual power again and put it all into her sea of ​​​​qi.

With a soft bang, earth-shaking changes took place in her qi sea.

The Qi Sea has more than doubled in size, and the vital energy within it has become extremely pure. If the current vital energy is used to activate magic spells, the power will definitely be several times greater than before!

But even though she had already advanced to the late stage of Spirit Transformation, the immortal power still did not stop. It not only filled up her qi sea, but also left a lot more, condensing in her dantian.

She immediately used the excess spiritual power to consolidate her Qi Sea, and then practiced her own skills, only then did she use up all the spiritual power.

After a long time, Lu Qingyao slowly opened her eyes. She trembled slightly and said to herself with unbearable excitement: "Late stage of Spiritualization... I... finally succeeded!!"

She stood up, exhaled deeply, and couldn't help clenching her hands.

"Shrine....I will be back soon."

Lu Qingyao looked ahead, her cold gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy stone door and reach somewhere far away.

After a long time, she collected her mind, suppressed the restless energy in her body, and regained her original calmness.

The stone door slowly opened, and she walked towards the hall with light lotus steps. But before she arrived, she sensed the aura of a group of middle-stage Jindan cultivators, which made Lu Qingyao couldn't help but become alert.

She gathered her breath and walked cautiously into the hall. Before she arrived, a warm applause broke out, even mixed with many cheers, sounding very lively.

"Right, so don't think too much about everything. Aren't the God King Jade Girl and the Red Refining God Lord all cultivators? They have the same nose and two eyes as us. The reason why they have such high cultivation is because they have occupied too many Yuanjing mines. If those high-level Yuanjing were here, I, Lin Shiyi, would guarantee that all my brothers and sisters would reach the late stage of the God Transformation!"

"well said!"

"Yes! They just took over the resources first!"

"We are not afraid of them!"

"I believe everything Senior Brother Lin said! He has already helped us reach the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Is he going to fool us?"

As soon as Lin Shiyi finished speaking, a lot of voices of agreement were heard, and the monks applauded again, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Lu Qingyao heard these words carefully and was immediately shocked.

Lin Shiyi actually helped the cultivators in the palace reach the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Thinking of this, she coughed twice and walked out of the cabinet.

When the monks saw Lu Qingyao appear, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted respectfully, but it was obvious that they were not as respectful as before, and their expressions were all pretending.

Lin Shiyi is now in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He speaks to them as if they were brothers and is very approachable. However, Lu Qingyao still has that condescending look, which of course makes them uncomfortable.

However, no one was dissatisfied with this. They knew that Lu Qingyao would follow Lin Shiyi's arrangements most of the time, which made them feel a little balanced.

Seeing Lu Qingyao coming, Lin Shiyi quickly stepped aside and said respectfully, "Greetings, Palace Master."

Lu Qingyao nodded, then flew onto the platform and sat on the phoenix chair.

She glanced at Lin Shiyi and felt mixed emotions in her heart.

How could she not know the current situation? Lin Shiyi had sidelined her, and the monks in the palace were now resisting her.

However, he did make these cultivators reach the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation. Although no one knew how he did it, since he came, these cultivators who were stuck in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation have made progress. This alone is enough to make people follow him wholeheartedly.

Therefore, Lu Qingyao was not angry, but just felt a little aggrieved.

Lin Shiyi didn't think so much about it. He just said more things that everyone liked to hear to ensure that when a strong enemy came, everyone could work together to resist. He never thought about taking over the Demon Refining Palace.

But he didn't expect that after he talked so much, everyone started to treat him as the big brother. This was beyond his expectations.

Coming back to his senses, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Palace Master, I have made my brothers and sisters reach the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation as promised. Please take a look, Palace Master."

Lu Qingyao nodded, but in her heart she was thinking about the four words "brothers and sisters" that Lin Shiyi said.

She also understood that the reason why Lin Shiyi could get close to these monks was that he was good at playing the emotional card, but she couldn't bring herself to call these subordinates like that.

She felt that this was too hypocritical. Interests were interests, and all the talk was empty talk. Without Yuan Jing, how could the cultivators stay here?

But she would not say these words, and nodded immediately: "Well, you have worked hard to protect me. With you sharing my worries, I feel much more relaxed."

Looking at the dozens of mid-stage Jindan cultivators in the hall, Lu Qingyao was also excited.

This is a considerable force. If used well, it is enough to subvert a faction.

At this time, a monk from the palace flew in from outside the door. After he entered the hall, he bowed and said, "Palace Master! Those thieves have returned! They said they wanted to destroy the demon and recapture the Demon Refining Palace!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingyao sneered and said, "Come on! Everyone, listen up! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

"I'll wait for the order!"
