People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 137 Hey, Clow Reed, have you paid me the copyright fee?
He remembered the plot of the book.

The dragon was captured by a villain.

But this world was created by Eriol using magic.

Who knows if the other party has set up any additional traps?
Eriol won't hurt Sakura, but that doesn't mean he won't cause her some trouble.

Better safe than sorry; it's always good to be cautious.

Tomoyo nodded in agreement: "Yoko is right. Let's calm down and recover our strength before going in."

So the three of them found a flat, large rock near the cave entrance and sat down.

Ye Hui himself possessed profound cultivation, so climbing this short distance was nothing to him.

The so-called rest was more to give Sakura and Tomoyo a chance to catch their breath.

Zhi Shi also sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

As Ye Hui looked at her, the book "Yin Yang Tai He Dao Da" that he had just obtained suddenly flashed through his mind.

Although the name might sound suggestive, the technique itself is indeed a legitimate dual cultivation method.

By simply harmonizing the Yin and Yang energies, the cultivation efficiency of both parties can be greatly improved, making it a mutually beneficial secret method.

"Zhi Shi, I have a secret technique here that can quickly restore spiritual power. Would you like to try it?" Ye Hui paused and then asked.

This secret method is indeed suitable for the current situation. It can help Zhi Shi recover his strength and also allow him to test the effects of the technique.

"A secret method for quickly restoring spiritual power?" Tomoyo opened her eyes, her purple pupils filled with curiosity, and she leaned forward slightly, showing some interest.

Ye Hui nodded: "However, this secret technique requires two people to practice together; it cannot be operated by one person alone."

"Then what should we do?" Tomoyo asked.

“It’s very simple.” Ye Hui stretched out his hand, palm up, fingers slightly bent. “Place your hand in mine, then relax your mind and slowly guide the spiritual energy in your body to your palm. Leave the rest of the spiritual energy to me.”

Zhi Shi's gaze fell on Ye Hui's outstretched palm, the warmth of which seemed to travel through the air.

A delicate blush instantly rose on her fair cheeks, but it quickly faded away.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +18】

Sakura, who was standing nearby, curiously came over to watch the commotion, and asked with some confusion, "Yoko, what are you doing?"

"A rather special cultivation method," Ye Hui explained without changing his expression, his eyes remaining open and honest.

Tomoyo nodded and slowly extended her hand.

Her fingers were slender and long, with slightly cool fingertips, gently resting on Ye Hui's palm.

Upon handling, it still feels familiarly warm and soft.

Ye Hui took a deep breath, suppressed the fragmented thoughts in his mind, and began to practice the method of the Yin-Yang Great Harmony Dao.

"Relax, don't resist, trust me completely." His voice was very soft.

Tomoyo nodded gently again, closed her eyes, and relaxed her body.

Following Ye Hui's instructions, she slowly mobilized the water-based spiritual energy within her body, channeling it along the meridians of her arm to her palm.

That spiritual energy was cool and gentle, like a mountain stream.

The moment Zhi Shi's water-based spiritual energy touched Ye Hui's palm.

The yang-attribute spiritual power within his body immediately surged forth, like warm light, gently enveloping that spiritual power.

The two spiritual energies intertwined and swirled in their palms, yet there was no conflict whatsoever. Instead, they gradually merged into a gentler flow of energy, which flowed slowly into each other's bodies through their clasped hands.

Zhi Shi felt a warm current spread through her limbs and bones, instantly soothing the fatigue and spiritual energy depletion from the climb. Her body felt so light that she felt like she was about to float away, and her breathing became much smoother.

Ye Hui's golden core also slowly rotated in this state of yin-yang harmony, absorbing the fused spiritual energy.

[You and Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo have attempted joint cultivation for the first time! Your spiritual energy blends seamlessly, becoming one! You feel her pure and flawless water-based spiritual energy, and your heart is filled with satisfaction and joy!]

[You discover that this feeling is far more wonderful than solitary cultivation! You've decided that from now on, you'll frequently train with Daidouji Tomoyo, striving to completely transform her into your form as soon as possible!]

Ye Hui: “…”

?

This idiotic system, can you please stop using such easily misunderstood little words!

It's as if he's practicing some strange, evil art.

He was clearly just practicing his cultivation seriously!
"Tomoyo, your face is so red! Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?" Sakura looked at Tomoyo's flushed cheeks and reached out to touch her forehead.

Zhi Shi suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had been burned, and instinctively tried to pull her hand back from Ye Hui's palm.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +19】

"Don't move!" Ye Hui quickly pressed her hand down. "We're at a critical point right now. The spiritual energy is still circulating. We mustn't get distracted, or we might hurt ourselves."

Tomoyo reacted instantly, suppressing the urge to pull her hand away, and said softly to Sakura, who looked worried, "I...I'm fine, Sakura, I'm just a little hot."

Her voice was barely audible, and her cheeks were still burning red.

Looking at her adorable appearance, both shy and trying to appear calm, Ye Hui couldn't help but smile, but felt even more pity for her.

It seems that next time I use this technique, I must find an absolutely private place, otherwise his family member Zhi Shi will probably be so ashamed that he will crawl into a hole in the ground on the spot.

However, this feeling is indeed unbearable.
Another few minutes passed.

Once the spiritual energy within the two of them had been completely harmonized, Ye Hui slowly withdrew his own spiritual energy.

The warmth in my palms gradually dissipated.

"All right."

Tomoyo immediately let go, her fingers instinctively curling slightly.

She kept her head down, staring at the hem of her skirt, not daring to even glance at Ye Hui out of the corner of her eye.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Hui looked at her reddened ear tips and couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Very…very good.” Tomoyo replied softly, “I feel that the spiritual energy in my body has not only been fully restored, but it also seems to be more condensed than before, and it’s much faster than when I cultivate alone.”

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +15】

"That's good, then our efforts weren't in vain." Ye Hui nodded with a smile.

"Ye Zi, were you cultivating just now? It looked so amazing! I want to try it too!" Xiao Ying came over, her dark green eyes filled with curiosity, and tugged at Ye Hui's sleeve, giving it a gentle shake.

"Ahem, this is a special cultivation technique that requires basic spiritual power to operate. If you have spiritual power in the future, I'll teach you." Ye Hui made up an excuse.

"Oh... I see. Okay then." Sakura's eyes dimmed, a hint of disappointment in them.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

at this time.

Suddenly, an angry dragon's roar came from deep within the cave, causing the entire mountain to tremble slightly, and dust fell from the cave ceiling.

"Roar--"

Ye Hui stood up and looked toward the dark cave entrance: "Let's go in and take a look. It seems that the dragon is in trouble."

The passageway inside the cave was long and narrow, winding and twisting. The rock walls on both sides were damp and cold, with water droplets dripping from the cracks in the rocks from time to time, making a dripping sound.

Ye Hui walked at the front, using his divine sense to explore the way and avoid potential obstacles.

Sakura and Tomoyo followed closely behind.

Xiao Ke hovered low in the air ahead, the sound of its wings flapping clearly audible in the empty passage.

It didn't take long.

After walking through the long passage, the area suddenly opened up before them.

This is a huge underground cave.

Countless stalactites hang upside down from the top of the cave, their tips condensing into glistening water droplets.

The ground was covered with jagged rocks, and in the open space in the center, the blue dragon they had encountered at the street corner was tightly bound to the ground by several thick black chains.

The chains were deeply embedded in the gaps of the dragon's scales, emanating an ominous black aura that swirled around the dragon's body.

The dragon struggled and roared, its golden vertical pupils filled with rage and pain.

But with each struggle, the black chains would tighten even more, binding it even tighter.

Black mist even seeped into its body along the chains, causing it to roar in pain.

Directly in front of the dragon stood a mysterious figure shrouded in a black robe.

The black robe was unusually large, almost completely obscuring his figure. In this way, he looked exactly like the villain described in the book.

They are the masterminds behind the scenes who want to seize the power of the dragon and control the entire Dinosaur Mountain.

"What are you doing? Stop it right now!" Sakura's sense of justice surged when she saw the dragon's miserable state. Without thinking, she raised her magic wand. "Who are you? Let it go!"

Upon hearing Sakura's voice, the man in black robes slowly turned around.

The face under the hood was completely hidden in the shadows, and only a vague outline could be seen, with no clear details.

"Oh? I didn't expect a few little bugs to follow." The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and deep, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, exuding an unsettling chill.

"You're the bug! You coward hiding under your robe! You must be ugly! Why don't you dare show your face?" Xiao Ke hovered in mid-air, glaring angrily at the man in black robes, throwing out all the words she had learned from Ye Hui.

The man in black paused, but ignored Xiao Ke's shouts and instead slowly swept his gaze over Sakura and Tomoyo.

After examining it for a moment, the gaze finally settled on Ye Hui.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke: "Interesting brats, especially you... your aura is quite unique."

"You have a smell that I really dislike."

Ye Hui sneered inwardly.

Install, then install.

Hiiragi Eriol, don't think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a black robe, a hood, and a different vest!
Even though that staff was covered by black mist, it was still ridiculously big!

Sakura raised her wand and pointed it at the mysterious man: "Release that dragon right now! Or I'll get rough with you!"

"You're welcome?" The man in black robes let out a low laugh, mocking, "You? A little girl who can't even control her own power?"

Ye Hui almost couldn't hold back and burst out laughing on the spot.

Because in situations like this, once you know the other person's identity, looking back at the whole scene...

It just feels so awkward no matter how you look at it...

Moreover, this guy also needs to be able to make threatening remarks, and then there's the person under the black robe.

Tsk~
However, as soon as the man in black finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot without even leaving a trace.

The next second, he appeared in front of Sakura, his black staff whistling through the air as he slammed it down on Sakura's head.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo exclaimed, instinctively rushing forward.

Sakura reacted quickly, almost instantly summoning the Clow Cards by activating her magic the moment the staff fell.

"shield!"

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the cave.

Even with the shield blocking, the enormous impact still caused Sakura to uncontrollably stagger back several steps.

Sakura only stopped when her back hit the rock wall. She was stunned for a moment, feeling a tingling numbness in her hands.

"So...so strong!" Sakura looked at the man in black robes, somewhat shocked.

"I told you, you are no match for me."

The man in black robes approached Sakura step by step, his robes trailing and fluttering on the ground.

It looks a bit like Snape's black robe.
"Hand over your Clow Cards obediently, and perhaps I'll spare your life."

"You know about the Clow Cards? But don't even think about it! You villain from the book, you think you can escape? I won't allow it!" Sakura gritted her teeth and raised her wand again, "Wind, Chains!"

Pale green wind elements coalesced into chains, wrapping around the man in black robes.

However, the man in black robes merely waved his staff casually.

A wisp of black mist swept by, and the chains vanished instantly.

"It's no use." The man in black shook his head. "You're ridiculously weak."

"hateful!"

Sakura wanted to launch another attack, but Ye Hui stopped her.

"Alright, Sakura, you may leave now."

Ye Hui walked in front of her, shielding her firmly behind him and blocking the black-robed man's view.

"Ye Zi?" Xiao Ying was taken aback, looking at his back with confusion.

“I’ll handle this guy.” Ye Hui stared at the black-robed man in front of him.

Since Elio wants to act, he'll play along and have some fun.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to see just how strong he really was!

Anyway, it's impossible for Elio to be played by himself; Ye Hui guesses he's just an avatar or a manifestation of a portion of magic.

"Oh? So you're finally willing to make a move?" The man in black robes looked at Ye Hui, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes beneath his hood. "Let me see what you're capable of."

Ye Hui was actually a little puzzled as to why he hadn't unlocked Elio's character bond after all this time.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

He slowly raised his right hand, and lightning quickly crackled and popped in his palm.

"Five thunders rectify the law!"

With a low shout, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm cleaved from his palm, whistling through the air, and hurtled straight toward the man in black robes.

The man in black robes remained expressionless, quickly raising his staff and creating a magical shield of surging black light in front of him.

"Boom!" Lightning struck the shield hard, bursting out with a blinding white light, and the powerful impact made the surrounding rocks bounce.

"Oh? That's impressive..." The mysterious man exaggeratedly took more than ten steps back, even deliberately adjusting his hood as if he almost lost his balance.

Ye Hui's lips twitched involuntarily as he watched.

That acting was so fake! With that kind of acting skill, he could only be an obscure, unknown actor.

"Wow! Ye Zi is so handsome!" Sakura's eyes lit up as she watched from behind, her gaze filled with stars.

[You launched a sneak attack on the Elder without hesitation, right in front of the Dharma Protectors and disciples with Heavenly Spiritual Roots! Your insidious, despicable, and cunning methods are truly exemplary of demonic cultivators!]

[However, the effect was outstanding! With your absolute strength, you once again established your towering and majestic image in front of your team!]

at this time.

The man in the black robe slowly raised his hand, hooked his fingertips on the edge of the hood, and slowly took off the hood.

A face exactly like Ye Hui's appeared before everyone's eyes without warning.

They had the same eyebrow and eye contours, and even the curve of their mouths was almost identical, but their eyes revealed a sinister look.

Ye Hui was instantly furious.

!!!

Please bean sack!

Hey, did you pay the copyright fee? How dare you use my face?

"what?"

"Two Ye students?!"

Sakura gripped her wand tightly, her eyes wide with shock, her voice trembling with disbelief.

Tomoyo's hand, which was holding the camera, froze in mid-air, unable to believe it.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +11】

Little Ke was so startled that its wings went limp, and with a thud, it crashed into the rocks from mid-air, wincing in pain: "What...what's going on? How come there are two brats?!"

Ye Hui looked at the imposter wearing his face and couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.

This Elio is really playing some fancy tricks!

The evil and darkness that had been suppressed deep within you for so long has finally broken free of its shackles, taking shape in your form and appearing before you!

This is the greatest tribulation on your path of cultivation! You must personally sever your inner demons, or you will be devoured by them, utterly condemned to hell, and never to return!

Ye Hui: “…”

"How about it? Surprised?"

The imposter Ye Hui looked at Ye Hui and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I am you, and you are me."

"I am your deepest desire, the thirst for power, and the desire to control everything!"

He opened his arms, his black robe billowing behind him, striking a pose as if embracing the world.

"Stop suppressing yourself, become one with me! We will become the sole rulers of this world!"

Ye Hui rolled his eyes: "I said... aren't you mistaken about something?"

Did he wander into the wrong world?

How can this be so cringeworthy...

It's confirmed. This is definitely not Eriol's real body, and it's probably not even a clone. It's likely an illusion created by the other party using magic.

"What's wrong?" The imposter Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

Ye Hui held up one finger and said calmly, "First, I crave power, but my goal is to protect myself and those around me, not to dominate the world. That would be too narrow-minded."

He then extended a second finger, scrutinizing the other man's black robe from head to toe, his eyes clearly showing his disdain.

"Secondly, your outfit is terrible. The black robe is all wrinkled and not smooth at all. As for being handsome, you're far from it."

"Lastly, and most importantly."

Ye Hui took a step forward, staring intently at the other person, "Your acting is too exaggerated."

"True strong people never need to use a charmingly arrogant smile or ridiculously melodramatic lines to make their presence known; they are all very low-key—like me."

"Pfft..."

After hearing Ye Hui's serious speech, Xiaoying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

Tomoyo covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling, but she didn't laugh out loud; she was clearly trying her best to suppress her laughter. [Tomoyo Daidouji's Emotional Value +9]

Even the giant dragon bound to the ground slightly turned its head to stare at the imposter Ye Hui, a hint of disdain flashing in its golden vertical pupils.

The imposter Ye Hui's wicked smile froze instantly.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" he retorted angrily. "I am the real you!"

"Really?" Ye Hui shrugged. "Then tell me, what is my deepest, truest desire?"

"Of course...it is..."

The imposter Ye Hui opened his mouth, but all the lines he had prepared got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter another word for a long time.

Little did he know what Ye Hui's true desires were.

This illusion is merely a phantom created by magic; how could it truly reveal Ye Hui's thoughts?
The reason he said those things was entirely according to the villainous boss's script.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Hui deliberately dragged out his words: "What I crave most is to eat Tomoyo-chan's lovingly made bento every day."

0.0 Tomoyo blinks.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

"I also want to see Sakura wearing all sorts of cute battle suits designed by Tomoyo herself, and fighting alongside me."

Sakura: (ω)

Sakura's face instantly turned bright red, and she instinctively covered her cheeks, exclaiming, "Y-Ya-kun!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

"Or perhaps, they want to grab Xiao Ke, stuff him in, and beat him up."

Ye Hui glanced at Xiao Ke one last time.

Xiao Ke: ヽ(#`Д)

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

"you you……"

The imposter Ye Hui was speechless, stunned by this completely unconventional statement.

He felt like his processor was about to burn out.

This script is wrong!
According to the normal process, when the protagonist sees his inner demons, shouldn't he be shocked, terrified, and then fall into self-doubt?

Ye Hui smacked his lips.

Unfortunately, the illusion doesn't have enough weight in the plot, and the characters aren't real people.

Otherwise, that last wave would have been enough to make him explode with emotion, right?
[Your strong Dao heart allows you to maintain your true self even when faced with the temptations of inner demons, and you can even turn the tables and deliver a devastating blow!]

[Your inner demons have been driven to question the meaning of life by your impeccable logic and shameless remarks!]

Ye Hui ignored the system's complaints and quietly activated the Mind-Clearing Technique. His gaze penetrated the illusion's appearance and he clearly saw strands of black magic extending from the bound dragon, tightly binding the illusion's core.

So the power of this illusion comes from a dragon?
Therefore, as long as the connection between the two is severed, the illusion will naturally crumble on its own.

"I'm saying, shouldn't you change your lines?"

Ye Hui looked at the imposter still repeating "you you you" with some disdain. "It's just the same few lines over and over again. There's no originality at all. With this level of skill, he can't be a qualified villain."

He even kindly suggested, "How about I teach you a few phrases? Like—hehehe, kid, you've successfully caught my attention!"

"Or perhaps—I bloom amidst carnage, like a flower at dawn—how about that? Isn't that much more impactful than your previous lines?"

The imposter Ye Hui: "..."

He felt that his worldview was being destroyed little by little by Ye Hui.

Forgot, as an illusion, he didn't really have a worldview to begin with...

His purpose in being a villain is to create trouble for the protagonist.

But now the protagonist is not only not following the script, but is also teaching him how to be the villain.

This made him feel superfluous.

The imposter Ye Hui's body thus became illusory.

“It seems… the program I set for you isn’t very intelligent.” Ye Hui shook his head as he looked on the verge of collapse, then turned to Sakura and instructed, “Sakura, use the sword to cut the chains binding the dragon.”

"Huh? Okay!" Although Sakura hadn't fully grasped the situation, her trust in Ye Hui allowed her to do as he said without hesitation.

She gripped her wand tightly, gathering her magic: "Sword!"

Swish!
A long sword gleaming with silver light instantly appeared in her hand.

Sakura gripped her sword with both hands and slashed fiercely at the black chains binding the dragon.

--"clang!"

After a loud crash.

Those seemingly indestructible chains snapped instantly, and the black mist dissipated.

The dragon, now free, leaped up from the ground, its massive body creating a gust of wind that sent the surrounding rocks tumbling about.

It first turned its head, its golden vertical pupils filled with gratitude as it looked at Sakura and nodded gently. Then it immediately locked its gaze on the imposter Ye Hui, who had become semi-transparent, and its eyes instantly turned sharp.

Seeing the dragon break free, the imposter Ye Hui swayed slightly, realizing the danger, and turned to disappear.

But the dragon gave it no chance, and suddenly opened its blood-red maw.

A powerful suction force erupted instantly, forcefully drawing the translucent figure into its mouth.

He immediately closed his mouth, and the illusion vanished without a trace.

[Your inner demons have finally vanished under the combined blows of your persuasive words and the attacks of a disciple with a Heavenly Spiritual Root! You have successfully overcome the greatest tribulation on your cultivation path! Your Dao heart has become even more unbreakable!]

Ye Hui paused slightly as he watched the dragon devour the illusion.

Even though it was just an illusion, seeing a face exactly like his own being swallowed whole still made him feel a surge of urgency.

As the villain's illusion dissipated, the entire magical world within the book began to shake violently.

Stalactites continued to fall from the top of the cave, cracks appeared in the ground, and distorted ripples appeared in the air.

"What's going on? Is this place going to collapse?" Sakura looked around.

"It's not collapsing, it's that this magical space is about to disappear." Ye Hui patted the back of her hand. "We'll be able to go back to Tomoeda Town soon."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a blinding white light suddenly surged from all directions, instantly engulfing the three people and the beast.

Ye Hui felt a sudden white light before his eyes.

The next second, the familiar scent of the street filled my nostrils.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the streets of Tomoeda Town at night came into view.

The streetlights cast a warm yellow glow, the convenience store in the distance was still lit, and even the asphalt patterns on the ground were incredibly familiar.

"We...are back?" Sakura looked around at the scene, still a little dazed. She subconsciously touched the Clow Cards in her pocket, and only after confirming that the cards were still there did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I'm back." Ye Hui nodded in response, his gaze sweeping across the street corner.

Just then, Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling rushed over from not far away.

Their hair was a little messy, clearly startled by the commotion the dragon had caused.

"You've finally appeared! What happened just now?" Li Meiling asked anxiously as soon as she saw them. "That giant dragon suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, and you all disappeared after it too! I was so worried!"

"It's nothing, just a little trouble, but it's been resolved now," Ye Hui said casually.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +15]

[Li Meiling's mood score +13]

Hey Lis, your emotional contribution is really consistent!
Good boy!
"Since everything's alright, let's head back now." He waved to the two of them, said no more, and turned to lead Sakura and Tomoyo home.

Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling were left standing there, looking at each other, feeling as if they had missed something of utmost importance.

Even if I wanted to ask more questions, I wouldn't know where to begin.

They can only stand there, disheveled, in the evening breeze.

……

Return to the villa.

Ye Hui rubbed his temples: "This Eriol really knows how to make his presence known, even though it's not even his official appearance yet..."

This incident was undoubtedly Elio's doing.

He first used magic to materialize the dragons in "Dinosaur Mountain," and then used the dragons' power to pull them into the world of the book.

Ultimately, it was all to test this cultivator of "unknown origin".

That so-called "inner demon" was probably a product of Eriol's magic, created based on his aura.

Before they could even exchange two blows, that dim-witted guy had already killed himself.

It's so boring.

However, Ye Hui has witnessed Clow Reed's magic today.

To be able to create such a realistic, even self-sustaining, independent space, even if the villain isn't very intelligent, he must have some skill.

He walked to the desk and sat down.

"Let's study the cultivation techniques for the Nascent Soul stage first."

Ye Hui gently moved his fingers, unfolding the pages of the "Primordial Infant Dao Scripture" and carefully studying it word by word.

The core essence of this exercise lies in the primordial unity.

This means that all the mixed spiritual energy of various attributes in the body needs to be drawn to the dantian, and the golden core is used as a furnace to slowly fuse and refine it, eventually condensing into the most original and pure primordial energy.

Once the primordial energy has accumulated to a critical value, it will form the foundation for condensing the Nascent Soul!
According to the cultivation manual, the nascent soul cultivated in this way not only possesses a level of magical power far exceeding that of other cultivators of the same level, but also has the characteristic of being impervious to all magic, and can generate many wonderful uses in the future.

Although Ye Hui is currently only in the early stage of the Golden Core realm and is still a long way from condensing his Nascent Soul, it is always a good thing to be prepared for the future by thoroughly understanding the principles of the cultivation method and planning his future cultivation path.

After studying the technique for nearly half an hour, Ye Hui raised his hand and opened the system panel.

[Emotional value: 2213 points (check the emotional value of the bonded object)]

[Unlock Bonds: Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji, Cerberus, Rei Tachibana...]

Without hesitation, he immediately exchanged for two more adventure maps.

[Exchanged Adventure Map × 2]

The reason he didn't save up for another ten-pull this time was to see if he could get the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is a great opportunity to farm Tomoyo's Attitude Points...

Based on Ye Hui's observation, he felt that he was not far from reaching the 60-point attitude level.

"Use the Adventure Map!" Ye Hui silently chanted in his mind.

[Open Adventure Map x2...]

While enjoying free tea at the sect's secondhand bookstore, you casually steal a tattered sheepskin used as a table cushion, only to discover it's a map of a certain alchemist's cave dwelling. Following the map, you dig up a medicine box at the foot of a cliff, and you obtain—the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill!

While cleaning the alchemy pavilion, you find a large piece of foot skin lying near the alchemy furnace. The skin smells bad, and you're about to sweep it away in disgust when you suddenly discover a map carved on it! Overjoyed, you pick it up and follow the map to dig up a jade medicine box under a pine tree. You've obtained—1 piece of Millennium Stone Marrow!

Ye Hui's eyes lit up.

He was just hoping and giving it a try, but to his surprise, this time he actually managed to write out the prescription!

"Wow, Tomoyo-chan is definitely my lucky star!"

He couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

With the formula obtained, the next step is to prepare the medicinal materials needed for alchemy.

Ye Hui didn't linger any longer and went straight to the alchemy room in the backyard of the villa.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and refine the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible, so that he could gain the attitude of knowing the world sooner.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is not difficult to refine. It requires eighteen kinds of medicinal materials, most of which are common basic spiritual herbs.

He had already been cultivating these medicinal herbs in large quantities in the Dongxu Spirit Field.

Furthermore, due to the abundance of spiritual energy in the spiritual fields, the medicinal herbs are of exceptional age and quality, fully meeting the needs of alchemy.

Stepping into the alchemy room, a familiar aroma of herbs and the scent of charcoal fire wafted towards me.

Ye Hui walked to the alchemy platform, carefully took out the heavy, high-grade alchemy furnace, and placed it on a specially made fire-resistant base.

He then arranged the eighteen medicinal herbs one by one on the table in order.

The vibrant green leaves of the Spirit Leaf Grass, the plump roots and stems of the Earth Marrow Ginseng, and the Sunfire Flower with its faint golden glow...

Every ingredient was carefully selected by him.

He is now an intermediate alchemist and possesses the supernatural ability to turn stones into gold and purify spiritual materials.

With his clear understanding of the mind and nature, and his ability to discern the timing of the fire, it can be said that his success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills is almost guaranteed!

Ye Hui took a deep breath and prepared to light the fire and start the furnace.

[You've finally decided to harm these innocent medicinal herbs! You're attempting to use your clumsy alchemy skills to refine a highly difficult pill like the Foundation Establishment Pill! This is nothing short of a waste! If these rare and precious herbs were to fall into the hands of an elder in the Pill Hall, they could at least be used to refine ten top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills!]

"Shut up."

Ye Hui ignored the system's noise, gathered his spiritual power, and put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in the order recorded in the recipe.

First, add the Spirit Leaf Grass to lay the foundation for the medicine, followed by the Earth Marrow Ginseng to replenish the abundant spiritual energy, and finally add the Yang Flame Flower to balance the medicine's properties of cold and heat.

He stared intently at the furnace, his divine sense probing inside to control the temperature and size of the flames.

At the beginning, the herbs need to be slowly dried over a low heat to soften them and extract their juice.

Fifteen minutes later, turn the heat to medium and simmer to bring out the aroma of the herbs.

Once white mist rises from the furnace, it is then subjected to intense heat for quenching.

There can be no slackening at any step.

Time passes minute by minute.

The aroma of medicinal herbs in the alchemy room grew stronger and stronger.

After one hour.

Ye Hui could sense that the juices of the eighteen kinds of medicinal herbs in the furnace had completely blended, turning into a fist-sized ball of shimmering white liquid that slowly swirled in the flames, emitting a warm glow.

"It's time to condense the core." Ye Hui took a light breath.

This is the most crucial step in alchemy; the slightest mistake will render all previous efforts futile.

"Sweet Rain Technique!"

Ye Hui let out a low shout and flicked out a wisp of pure spiritual energy, which transformed into fine water droplets and seeped into the furnace.

Nourished by the sweet rain.

The liquid medicine in the furnace rapidly contracted, and a layer of crystalline film appeared on the surface, slowly condensing and taking shape.

“Midas turns gold into gold!”

Immediately afterwards, he activated his supernatural power again, and the pale golden spiritual energy enveloped the alchemy furnace, instantly stripping away and purifying the remaining impurities in the medicinal liquid.

The liquid inside the furnace became increasingly lustrous, and the aroma of the medicine suddenly became richer and more mellow. Just one whiff of it was enough to refresh one's mind and body.

"Om-"

The alchemy furnace suddenly trembled, and the lid flew up into the sky with a loud bang.

Three beams of pure white light shot out from the furnace.

"Three Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Ye Hui blinked.

With the dual benefits of nourishing medicinal properties and refining quality through the transformation of stone into gold.

He successfully refined three pills in one go, and the pills had clear patterns and a warm luster, clearly indicating that they were of superior quality.

He raised his hand and three Foundation Establishment Pills landed steadily in his palm. He then put them into a jade bottle that he had prepared beforehand and tightened the stopper.

After doing all this, Ye Hui breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the alchemy room.

As soon as the door opened, the aroma of medicine wafted through the cracks in the door into the courtyard.

With three Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, plus his protection, even if Zhi Shi makes a mistake during his breakthrough, he can immediately take one and start over.

Moreover, given Zhi Shi's efforts and talent, failure was simply impossible.

Thinking of this, Ye Hui was in a good mood, so he took out his communicator, found Zhi Shi's number, and dialed it without hesitation.

The phone was answered after three rings.

Tomoyo's gentle voice came through the receiver.

"Ye, is there something you need from me so late?"

"Zhi Shi, I have some good news for you, but it's only about you." Ye Hui deliberately kept him in suspense, his voice tinged with laughter.

"Hmm? About me? What good news is it?" Tomoyo's voice instantly filled with anticipation.

"Do you remember the Foundation Establishment Pill I told you about before? I've refined it."

The breathing on the other end softened slightly for a moment.

Ye Hui could even imagine, through the phone, the adorable sight of Tomoyo's beautiful purple eyes wide open, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a smile would unconsciously creep onto his lips.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +20】

"You mean I'll be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage soon?" Zhi Shi's voice remained calm.

But Tomoyo-chan, your emotional state has already revealed your true feelings!
Tomoyo pursed her lips on the other end of the phone, her fingers gently clenching the bed sheet.

She has always wanted to become stronger.

This is not only to better help Sakura.

More importantly, it was so that she could keep up with Ye's pace and no longer just hide behind him and Xiaoying, being protected by them.

Ye Hui smiled, then his tone became serious: "However, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is no small matter. It requires an absolutely safe environment. Although your home is quiet, there are still so many bodyguards and personal assistants. With so many people around, it's not convenient for you to concentrate on your breakthrough."

"Then where should we go?" Tomoyo asked softly.

"You don't need to worry about that, I've already thought it through. The secret realm where I took you for training before is perfect. The concentration of spiritual energy there is five times that of the outside world, and we will definitely not be disturbed by anyone."

Ye Hui paused for a moment, then continued, "Come straight to my house after school tomorrow. I'll take you into the secret realm and protect you the whole time. I'll definitely help you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop!"

He arranged everything perfectly, leaving Zhi Shi with no room for doubt.
