Hearing the surrounding discussion, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, he had been low-key. If he had directly brought Xiao He inside, this incident would probably have spread throughout Qing Yun City by tomorrow.

“What are you all gossiping about? This young lady is just looking for someone. Some people may appear to be cultivators, but they’re despicable at heart.” The Cave Mansion Manager scolded when he heard the whispers of the crowd.

Then his gaze fell on the lower-grade spirit stone in Xiao He’s hand. With a smile, he said, “Miss, it’s not that I’m not letting you in, but there are rules to abide by. I can’t just let anyone in.”

Xiao He bit her lip and hesitated. Eventually, she tossed out a small bag, displaying a delicate and pitiful expression, “Immortal Master, my elder brother is cultivating here. Our mother at home has suddenly fallen ill, and her life hangs in the balance. I beg you to make an exception. I would be endlessly grateful.”

The Cave Mansion Manager casually picked up the bag. It contained about fifty spirit beads. He collected them without changing his expression, waved his hand, and said, “Seeing you in such urgency, I will make an exception this once. Go in quickly and be back soon.”

“Thank you, Immortal Master.” Xiao He paid her respects and hurriedly entered the cave mansion gate.

Lin Yi was waiting not far away for Xiao He. The Liu Yun Sect had created this cultivation cave mansion by hollowing out a mountain. It contained hundreds of cave mansions and was connected to the underground spirit veins as if it were a labyrinth, providing a continuous supply of rich spiritual energy.

He led Xiao He and, infusing spiritual power into the token they followed its directions to find his cave mansion. Once there, he gently stimulated the token, and a stone door opened automatically.

Lin Yi took a step forward, entering the cave mansion. A strong surge of spiritual energy hit him, making him feel somewhat intoxicated. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of contentment. Since arriving in the Cultivation World, this was the first time he had experienced such rich spiritual energy.

Compared to absorbing energy directly from a spirit stone, this was much more efficient. Truly, this was an ideal holy place for cultivation.

All the pores on his body opened automatically, greedily absorbing the rich spiritual energy, much like a sponge yearning for water.

On the other hand, Xiao He only found the place extraordinarily comforting without any particular reactions. People without spiritual roots are unable to sense spiritual energy, so they wouldn’t experience as strong a sensation as cultivators.

“Immortal Master, it’s so comfortable here,” she exclaimed in awe.

“For cultivators, it’s even more so,” Lin Yi replied with a smile. The interior of the cave mansion was simply furnished with a stone bed, a stone table, and a few mats for cultivating.

However, for cultivators who came to practice, every second was bought with spirit stones. They’d wish to absorb all the spiritual energy into their bodies, eschewing sleep entirely.

“Immortal Master, it costs fifteen spirit stones a day. Plus the one and a half spirit stones I gave, it’s so expensive. Quickly start cultivating,” Xiao He urged after exploring the cave mansion for a bit.

Lin Yi nodded, used a cleansing spell to clean a few mats, then sat down and began his cultivation. However, his eyes remained open, fixated on Xiao He.

The moment he started practicing the Creation Skill, the rich spiritual energy in the cave mansion flowed into his body through his pores. The sensation felt as if he was immersed in a hot spring or enjoying a SPA massage.

Meanwhile, Xiao He started to undress, taking out the strange outfit that Lin Yi had prepared from her package. The line-marked skirt had made her blush the first time she saw it.

After she put on the clothes, she picked up a pair of white socks and slowly began to put them on one foot at a time.

This scene was simply lethal for fans of the two-dimensional world.

Even without opening the panel, Lin Yi could feel his cultivation speed accelerating. The spiritual energy absorbed from the cave mansion was quickly refined and became a part of his cultivation levels.

Under Xiao He’s continuous temptation, the probability of enlightenment greatly increased. Gradually, her movements became more deliberate. She walked up to Lin Yi, straddled him, and started an up-close seduction.

Even though Lin Yi had spent a month in the Xun Fang Pavilion, this sight still made his blood raced. The adorable doll-like faces, the lure of the uniforms, and the silky long legs; each was a tremendous temptation.

The [Color is Void] title had already advanced to the second tier, although resistance to beauty had increased by 20%, this scene could still stimulate one’s senses immensely.

Old Huang and his group of old drivers who didn’t understand romantic feelings actually think that stockings have no allure, they were simply old-fashioned.

Under such a temptation, the chance of enlightenment reached 20%. Quickly, Lin Yi had a inexplicable feeling, as if he had a deeper understanding of cultivation and Qi refinement.

He once again operated his Creation Method, the spiritual power was like a sharp arrow, instantly breaking through the Qi refining middle stage bottleneck, a hurdle that countless low-level cultivators couldn’t overcome even after years of cultivation.

“Cultivation progress +1.” A prompt popped up in front of him.

Lin Yi opened the panel and looked at it, his face revealing a strong sense of joy, “[Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level Four (0/400)]”.

At this moment, another prompt appeared before him, “[Petty Survivor] title effect: Realm Concealment +1 activated.”

Xiao He, standing nearby, also sensed something, a trace of astonishment appearing on her face, “Im… Immortal Master, your aura, just now seemed to have strengthened a bit, why did it weaken again?”

“Just now I was trying to break through the cultivation bottleneck, but unfortunately, I failed, so it naturally weakened,” Lin Yi shook his head and replied. Although he trusted Xiao He immensely, there were still some things that were better off unknown to her.

Xiao He alo felt some regret in her heart, but still encouraged him with a smile, “Immortal Master, you possess extraordinary talent, I’m sure you can break through next time, continue your cultivation. I will do my best to tempt you.”

Lin Yi gently stroked Xiao He’s hair, smiled and nodded, “Alright, let’s continue.” After saying this, he operated his Creation Method and resumed his cultivation.

Previously, the lack of resources was bearable, but now with the dense spiritual energy, not making an effort to cultivate would be a total waste.

Lin Yi focused his mind, and continued to practice the Creation Method. Compared to before, this fourth-layer Creation Method took slightly more time to operate. The main aspect of Qi refinement was to open up the meridians, allowing more spiritual power to be stored in the body and refining a more pure spiritual power.

This was also the reason why cultivation level was so important. If others can last longer than you, and their spiritual power is more refined, the spells they release will be more powerful. You would have nothing to compete with a cultivator of a higher level.

In this cave mansion filled with dense spiritual energy, Lin Yi did not practice any spells, instead, he focused on refining Qi with total concentration. As a cultivator, cultivation naturally comes first. Without cultivation, even if the spells are practiced to the peak, they will not be able to display much power.

Time flew by quickly and two days passed in a blink of an eye. He was still immersed in cultivation when suddenly the token emitted light. A serious voice came from inside, “Lin Yi from B30, your time is up.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately came out of the cultivation state, shook his head and thought, “What do you mean, ‘your time is up’? It almost sounds like they’re going to cut my head off at noon.”

“Immortal Master, it seems we still had some time left.” Xiao He who was standing nearby said puzzlingly. She had been silently keeping track of the time. From her estimation, it seemed there was about an hour left.

“There has to be some advantage for others.” Lin Yi said casually. The manager in charge of the spiritual field was willing to use shady tactics for spirit stones. The cave mansion manager skimming off some time was normal. What could he do? His cultivation level was low, so he could only quietly accept it for now.

Afterward, he gently stroked Xiao He’s hair and thanked her with a smile, “Xiao He, you’ve worked hard these past few days, thank you.”

As a cultivator, he was unaffected even without sleep for several days. But Xiao He was an ordinary person. During this period, he made Xiao He to rest, but she always insisted. In the end, when she absolutely couldn’t hold on anymore, she only rested for six hours.

“Immortal Master, you are my benefactor, please don’t speak such polite words. This is my duty.” Xiao He waved her hands repeatedly. Without Lin Yi constantly choosing her, she suspected that after not long, she would have been sent by Xun Fang Pavilion to the military of the mortal world, which would be a real hell on Earth.
