With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Azhen smiled: [You already know, why ask?]

However, before she can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she needs to restore her cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

She also wanted to use this opportunity to test whether Lin Ya would also improve her cultivation level.

Based on the client's memories, she gleaned some information: regardless of how many times the client's cultivation level improved in a year, Lin Ya could only advance a maximum of three times a year.

Could this be a limitation?

If so, that would be more fun.

This time, her cultivation level has improved. If Lin Ya is not in a hurry to advance, and she fails to break through to the Nascent Soul stage again, the other party will really lose all her cultivation.

Then the other party probably won't even be able to forge weapons to "pass the time."

Even if the opponent chooses to advance this time, their cultivation level will regress, but they shouldn't lose everything. However, since the opponent has run out of advancement opportunities this year, no matter what A-Zhen tries to do, Lin Ya can't do anything about it, and in the end, they will still lose all their cultivation.

She's the clear winner.

In the days that followed, Azhen diligently cultivated.

Putting aside everyone else, Lin Ya was quite happy. She had been worried that Yun Zhen would be affected by her failure to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and would be unable to improve her cultivation level for a while.

It's good that Yunzhen is willing to improve her cultivation.

Lin Ya let out a breath. Since her cultivation level couldn't be improved, she could only focus on weapon crafting to stabilize her reputation.

Even though the furnace exploded before and people thought she was inferior to Yunzhen, the sect members would not deny her talent.

Recently, she has been frequently attending classes at Lianhuo Peak and has become familiar with the elders there.

She also learned that Mo Wuchen also had classes, but they had been suspended recently. It seemed that he was focusing on researching some magical artifact and didn't have time for the time being, which she found somewhat regrettable.

She inherited Mo Wuchen's abilities; it would be even better if she could hear his insights on weapon crafting.

Oh well, there will be plenty of times like this, no rush.

Lin Ya's crafting of magical artifacts is still quite casual. She doesn't need them herself, and her friends need them even less. So she leaves these artifacts at Lianhuo Peak, where they are sold at very low prices. She even occasionally gives some away to the handymen disciples, which has earned her a lot of goodwill.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Azhen's cultivation had recovered to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Lin Ya was surprised when she found out. Even if Yun Zhen's cultivation level dropped because of her failed attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, her recovery was too fast.

She felt envious and jealous, but also somewhat happy.

This means that her cultivation level can improve.

There are still several months left in the year, and she only has one more chance to advance. Should she advance this time?

After thinking it over, she decided to advance, since her cultivation level had dropped to Qi Refining for some time and she definitely couldn't afford to not make any progress.

As long as she makes progress and advances quickly, she will still be that genius. Even if there are some minor problems along the way, no one will think of her as a good-for-nothing.

As her cultivation level improved, Lin Ya felt much more relaxed.

Now that her cultivation level has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she should be able to barely refine spiritual artifacts.

After restoring her cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core stage, Azhen planned to recuperate for a few days before advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Before that, of course you have to show yourself off in front of others.

Ji Wujiu was very pleased to learn that Azhen had recovered to the peak of the Golden Core stage and planned to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in a few days. He told her a lot of things to pay attention to, but more importantly, he reminded her to pay attention to her state of mind and not to force herself. He also said that following one's heart was the best approach.

After speaking with Ji Wujiu, Azhen went to Lianhuo Peak.

She heard that Lin Ya came to Refining Fire Peak every day, so she planned to check on Lin Ya's situation and also see how her cheap senior brother was doing, wondering if he had managed to refine the magic weapon he wanted.

Upon arriving at Lianhuo Peak, she first encountered Yun Xuan.

"Tenth Sister, I plan to return to the Great Xia Kingdom in a few days. Is there anything you need me to bring back for you?" Yun Xuan walked over with a smile, blocking Azhen's path.

Azhen paused for a moment: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Third Brother."

Since the client no longer cares about anyone from the Great Xia Kingdom, she will treat them as ordinary people.

"I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give it to you tomorrow," she said. Yunxuan quickly agreed. He wanted to say something more, but ultimately said nothing.

As someone born into the vortex of power, he understands best which words should be said and which should not.

Even if the tenth sister showed talent in weapon crafting, he could not take it for granted that he should ask her for anything unless she gave it to him voluntarily.

A gifted individual cannot be bound by mere kinship.

Consort Chen made it too obvious, which made the Tenth Sister feel less attached to and less attached to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Azhen did indeed see through Yunxuan's hesitation. It must be said that Yunxuan was very good at reading people's expressions, much better than the mother of the client.

She said that if they treated each other as ordinary people, she would give them some benefits. There was no need to treat each other like enemies since there was no enmity between them. Besides, Yunxuan is a sensible person, isn't she?
With one more person on her side, Lin Ya would probably suffer for a long time; that was her real purpose.

Given Yunxuan's personality, even if she knew, she would probably be happy to accept it.

Upon entering the weapon-refining room, Azhen saw Lin Ya diligently refining a weapon. Lin Ya had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, a result Azhen had anticipated.

A-Zhu greeted everyone with a smile on her face.

When Lin Ya saw A-Zhu, she had just finished refining the weapon and took the initiative to greet A-Zhu, even asking about A-Zhu's cultivation level.

This was exactly what Azhen wanted: "I have recovered to the peak of the Golden Core stage and am preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage again soon."

"I hope this time it will be successful. I'm ready."... Successful attempt, but failed.

Noticing Lin Ya's barely suppressed excitement, Azhen smiled and prepared to refine the weapon.

She also asked the handyman disciple next to her if Mo Wuchen had come out of seclusion, and the answer was that he was still in the weapon-refining room and showed no sign of coming out.

She didn't bother them; there was nothing wrong with her, she was just asking.

This time, she was still refining a high-grade spiritual weapon. It had only been a month, and she hadn't reached the point where she could refine top-grade spiritual weapons yet, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Ling Fang, who was gaining experience in the outside world, had the magical treasures given to her that were enough to ensure her safety.

Moreover, she had left Ling Fang with backup plans for the magical artifacts she gave her, just in case.

After that, the defensive magic treasures she mainly refined were actually prepared for her nominal master, Ji Wujiu. Ji Wujiu's cultivation was powerful, and if she left any hidden tricks in ordinary magic treasures, it would be easy for him to see through her scheme and, if he didn't bother to explain, that would be very troublesome.

Therefore, the only option is to increase the strength of the magic weapon.

Lin Ya's expression wasn't good when she saw Azhen easily refine a high-grade spiritual weapon, but she felt much better after hearing the praise from the people around her.

No rush, she can wait.

Five days later, Azhen announced again that she would go into seclusion to try and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Everyone in the sect was watching, and Lin Ya was the most nervous.

Yunzhen's seclusion this time will last at least two or three months, and then next year will come soon, giving her three more opportunities for promotion.

This is why she chose to advance without hesitation; the experience of constantly practicing Qi cultivation is not pleasant.

After Azhen went into seclusion, Yunxuan returned to the Great Xia Kingdom with her entourage. Zhuo Changyuan also accompanied her this time, as he had some concerns there and this trip back would be a rare opportunity to meet.

Yunxuan was very happy throughout the journey and talked to Zhuo Changyuan about Azhen.

“My royal sister still cares about the Great Xia Kingdom. This time she gave me some magical artifacts, enough to protect the peace of my Great Xia Kingdom,” he said.

Zhuo Changyuan was never a man of many words, so Yun Xuan didn't pay much attention to him.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Azhen failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage very quickly, and she was already quite adept at it. Lin Ya thought that next year, she would have to wait two more months before trying again.

She could fail again this year.

Next year, due to the immense blow she suffered, her cultivation level will not improve in the short term.

The moment A-Zhan failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Ya coughed up blood and fainted in the weapon-refining room.

Suppressing her last vestiges of consciousness, she cried out to the system in her mind: [System, what's going on? My cultivation level has dropped again! Has something happened to Yun Zhen again?] (End of Chapter)
