"Pu!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yan Yue's mouth. Her hands, which had been waving nonstop, also stopped. Her originally clear eyes were now bloodshot, and her face was as pale as paper. However, the corners of her tightly pursed lips curved upwards.
"Lord?"
Yan Yue's vomiting of blood did not attract the attention of others, except for Morin, who was standing at the side.
"Let's go!
The results are already out. "Yan Yue coughed lightly and said to Morin.
This world is so big, and I'm still too weak. I originally thought that I was still okay, but now, I don't think so anymore. My experience is too short, and I can't avoid being a frog at the bottom of a well. No matter how big my heart is, in a narrow environment, it will gradually become small. This is something I don't want to see.
"Oh." Morin reluctantly looked at the fight on the stage, but still obediently followed Yan Yue out.
Just as the two figures disappeared from the side, the black-clothed man on the stage cast a glance in the direction they left, and then returned to the fight.
"Don't look at me, the results will disappoint you." Ever since they left the stage, Morin had been hemming and hawing, as if he had something to say but did not dare to say it. Yan Yue did not need to think to know what he wanted to ask.
In any case, he would find out sooner or later, so it was not a big deal.
At this moment, Yan Yue and Morin were sitting in a teahouse. Morin was still holding a cup of tea in his hand. When he heard Yan Yue's words, he was stunned for a few breaths of time.
Yan Yue chuckled. In this world, there were also groupies?
Thinking of that black-clothed man, Yan Yue's brows slightly furrowed. He was a very strong man. The aura hidden in his body was scarier than anyone she had seen in this world. This man was definitely not a fish in a pond.
That Ming Shen was very strong, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough. This was indeed a world where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no strongest, only stronger. If you did not work hard, you would only be defeated by more people. No one would sympathize with you.
Because the weak did not deserve sympathy.
Half closing her eyes, Yan Yue's eyes became more resolute, but it disappeared in a flash.
When she raised her head, she returned to her cold appearance, giving people a feeling that everything in the world did not matter to her heart.
"If you have the time to be sad for others, why don't you spend more time cultivating? is it that I indulged you too much?"
Yan Yue slowly drank her tea. She didn't look at Mo Lin as she slowly recovered her Yuan Qi. She had injured her meridians just now and needed to recuperate a little.
Yan Yue's indifferent appearance was what scared Morin the most. When Her Lord killed people, she was so calm, as if life was nothing in her eyes. Even though he had followed Her Lord for so long, Morin understood in his heart that he was nothing in Her Lord's eyes. Even if he died, she would not be sad at all. Her Lord was a very cold person, as if she did not care about anything. Only by becoming strong would she be interested.
Morin thought that if there was anyone who was special in Her Lord's eyes, it could only be the Tuantuan.
Morin laughed bitterly in his heart. If possible, he really hoped that one day, Her Lord would care about him as much as she cared about the Tuantuan. He really did not know what was wrong with him, to actually fight for favor with a demonic beast.
Didn't he live very well in the past? Why was it that after following Her Lord, he became so dependent on her, ah!
He was becoming more and more confused about himself!
After Yan Yue's words, it was quiet for a long time. Morin secretly let his imagination run wild. Yan Yue was not a talkative person, so she naturally did not say anything. Tranquility was something that Yan Yue liked very much.
Without waiting for the sun to set, the master and servant pair led Little Grey and Little Silver out of the inner city and settled down in the outer city. They stayed there for more than twenty days. During this time, Yan Yue only went out twice before she lost interest and stayed in the rented cave to cultivate. Unexpectedly, Morin also obediently followed her to cultivate. Morin was handed over to people who specialized in guarding demonic beasts. Compared to before, Morin was much more diligent, which made Yan Yue feel rather gratified.
On this day, Yan Yue withdrew from her cultivation and went out alone. This time, the master and servant pair shared a cave dwelling. Although it was only one room, it was simply divided into two areas. The expenses here were very high, and Yan Yue did not want to waste any more money. When there was no money, she had to learn to be patient.
Yan Yue went to the nearest medicinal pill store and bought a dozen or so Marrow Cleansing Pills, as well as a top grade Origin Spirit Pill. Without stopping for too long, she returned to the cave dwelling.
It wasn't that Yan Yue hadn't thought of buying a Foundation Establishment Pill, but everything had two sides. Cultivation was originally against the natural order, but cultivation was also following the natural order. Although taking a Foundation Establishment Pill could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the side effects it brought were really too great. As for her body, she didn't want it to rely too much on external objects. This would only make her body weaker and lose the resistance it should have. Only through lessons and pain could one forge steel and tenacity.
Returning to the cave, Morin was still cultivating, while his contracted beast Little Mo was lying on the side sleeping soundly.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the little guy wiped its eyes. Seeing that it was Yan Yue, it immediately stood up and jumped onto Yan Yue.
Yan Yue waved her hand and released the Tuantuan. The Tuantuan had disliked this guy for a long time, so of course it wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Although the little guy was small, it also had a big temper. Seeing that the Tuantuan seemed to be very close to Yan Yue, it unexpectedly became jealous. It roared and rushed towards the Tuantuan, intending to teach it a lesson.
Yan Yue also didn't care about them. They had been lonely for too long, so it was time for them to relax.
Exhaling, Yan Yue took out four Marrow Cleansing Pills. Only then did she sit down. Today, she found that she had reached the critical point of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, so she hurriedly went out to buy Marrow Cleansing Pills. It should be known that once she reached Foundation Establishment, this Marrow Cleansing Pill would be useless. Don't underestimate this little Marrow Cleansing Pill. In the long run, its benefits were great.
She didn't buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, but this Primary Spirit Pill of the highest grade was also not bad. It was equivalent to pure and concentrated spiritual power, so its effect was also very small. She hoped that after Marrow Cleansing, she would be able to reach Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Finally, after giving some instructions to the Tuantuan, Yan Yue took four Marrow Cleansing Pills and entered the process of Marrow Cleansing.
She didn't know if the effect of Marrow Cleansing this time wasn't great, or if her body had already gotten used to that kind of pain, but this time it wasn't as uncomfortable as last time. However, it still wasn't easy.
Feeling that her body could still withstand even more pressure and pain, she swung her hand again and threw two Marrow Cleansing Pills into her mouth. Only then did the deep pain slowly spread.
His skin was like a crusted scar. It cracked with a slight movement and blood flowed out incessantly. It was no longer just pain. That feeling was indescribable. He couldn't even cry out in pain. Although it was painful, he was somewhat enjoying it this time. Physically, I've won against you once again. One day, I'll be able to break free from your instinctive control and take full control of the situation. I'll make everything move according to my will.
I will remember this pain, and you will also remember it. Never, ever forget it.
— —
Five days' time could be very short, but it could also be very long.
People often say that happy time passes very quickly, but painful time is actually very long. However, Yan Yue felt that one day was one day. No matter if you were happy or in pain, it wouldn't change its own length because of your emotions.
No matter how many voices disturb her ears, it was like the wind blowing away smoke, leaving nothing behind. You are still you, and I am still me.
In this world, you don't need to reveal too much of your feelings, because you don't expect anyone to care. When you're together, you're friends, but when you leave, you're just passers-by and memories. She has never been a person who lives in memories. Some memories aren't forgotten, they're just not thought about.
She slowly opened her eyes. There was no coldness, only tranquility. It was only the foundation building, but it actually brought up some past events. Is it that the more you want to forget, the more you want to keep it? People are always obsessed with things they can't get. I'm also that kind of person, aren't I?!
Seeing that Yan Yue opened her eyes, Morin immediately welcomed her. "My lord, congratulations, you've successfully built your foundation. I've already prepared the water, do you want to wash it?" Morin blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Yue. His heart was as sweet as honey. He really didn't follow the wrong person. His lord had built her foundation so quickly, and he had also made a lot of progress. Now that his lord had become stronger, he also had to work harder. He couldn't be left too far behind.
"En," Yan Yue softly replied. She stood up and prepared to take off her robe. This time, she had taken enough Marrow Cleansing Pills. It could be said that most of the impurities in her body had been expelled. The rest of the impurities were no longer of much use by relying on Marrow Cleansing Pills. She had to rely on constantly improving her cultivation to get rid of them.
Morin didn't forget that his lord was a woman. Without waiting for Yan Yue's order, he voluntarily left the cave residence and waited outside.
However, he didn't stay idle while he was outside. He flipped through those alchemy hand seals over and over again. While improving his cultivation, he couldn't neglect alchemy. Right now, he only wanted to improve himself and do more for His Lord.
Little Mo and the Tuantuan were also carried out by Morin. Yan Yue was confused, but Morin was clear.
In the entire cave residence, Yan Yue was the only one left.
This time, the improvement in her cultivation didn't bring much excitement to Yan Yue. Although it seemed very good that she had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixteen, she knew in her heart that the amount of spiritual energy she needed to break through was several times that of an ordinary person with a single spiritual root.
This small breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage required so much more spiritual energy than others. In the future, when her cultivation improved, wouldn't it consume even more spiritual energy?
Moreover, the further she progressed, the slower the breakthrough would be. Although she was invincible within the same level, time was precious. She didn't have so much time to waste. If there were no opportunities, she was afraid that she would really exhaust her lifespan and die.
In the end, what should she do?
She immersed her head in the water and quietly thought for a few minutes, but still didn't come up with an answer.
When the water gradually turned cold, Yan Yue walked out of the wooden barrel. After drying her body, Yan Yue took out a white man's clothing from the storage bag and put it on. After tidying up her hair, Yan Yue thought for a moment and took out a mask from the storage bag. In an instant, half of her face below the eyes was covered by the jade-colored mask.
