Junior sister, I really need to control you

"There are too many!"

"The Qi of the Three Elements... there's too much of it..."

……

Evening, in a quiet room.

Mu Xiaoyu slumped in Li Yinsheng's arms, her whole body drenched in cold sweat.

A pair of lips, glistening with cold sweat, were opening and closing helplessly, like a fish exhausted from dehydration.

At this moment, her Three Elements True Technique had already reached the fifth level.

Li Yinsheng's Three Elements True Technique dropped from near the eighth level to barely maintaining the seventh level.

Although his level did not drop, the sudden loss of so much of his Three Elements Qi left him with a slightly empty and weak feeling.

If he continues to infuse his junior sister with more of the Three Primal Qi, he can help her advance to the sixth level.

But since he had been transferring his skills from morning until now, his junior sister's screams hadn't stopped. He felt a little sorry for her, so he stopped.

Of course, the main reason is that even if he helps her reach the sixth level, Li Yinsheng himself will fall back to the sixth level, and then the transfer of power will no longer be useful, and he will have to stop anyway.

Anyway, there's still a long time before the selection of the Holy Maiden, so there's no rush.

Let's save it for the next time we pass on our skills and help her improve.

Mu Xiaoyu nestled in Li Yinsheng's arms, trembling as she stretched her neck and bit down on Li Yinsheng's shoulder.

……

A few days later, Mu Xiaoyu was meditating on the visualization diagram in the courtyard, while Li Yinsheng was refining pills in the furnace beside her.

After passing on his skills to his junior sister, he confirmed something else.

When the Three Primal Qi is on oneself, it enhances one's magical power, soul, and physical body. However, on one's junior sister, the effect is the same as the Three Primal Qi in the outside world, which enhances one's talent in cultivating essence, energy, and spirit.

It seems that these three elements of Qi from the outside world, in their true masters, also enhance their magical power, soul, and physical body in the same way as they do themselves.

After this incident, Li Yinsheng naturally stopped absorbing the Three Primal Qi from the outside world.

However, it is impossible for him to refine his essence, energy, and spirit outside to cultivate normally.

Therefore, he used his free time to refine longevity pills.

Although the formula for the pill had been deduced, and with his current alchemy skills there shouldn't be any problems, the process was too complicated, so after several days he only managed to refine two pills.

Moreover, these two items contain very little spiritual energy related to the cycle of life and death, with an effect of extending lifespan by only about twenty years.

Just as he put away the second longevity pill and prepared to refine the third, the mansion's restrictions were triggered, and a message came through.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I am Qu Yunshu. I have already learned about the registration process and have come to pay my respects."

Li Yinsheng was overjoyed and immediately removed the restriction.

A streak of light descended into the courtyard, transforming into Qu Yunshu, who was dressed in a flowing fairy dress.

"Miss Qu," Li Yinsheng said, bowing to Qu Yunshu as he sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.

The moment Qu Yunshu looked at Li Yinsheng, her breath hitched, the joy between her brows froze, and her heart suddenly jumped into her throat.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that Li Yinsheng was much more distant from her than when they last met.

It even inexplicably gave her a sense of awe and awe, making her feel as if she dared not approach.

Why? It's only been a little over a month since we last met! Why is Fellow Daoist Li being so cold to me?

Is it because I haven't visited him in a long time? Or is there some problem with this mansion that I've overlooked? Or does he just think I'm too slow in gathering information?

“Fellow Daoist Li… My clan has already learned that the selection of the Holy Maiden does indeed require registration, but it is very simple.”

She quickly said, "All female cultivators who meet the requirements can go to the Holy Origin Palace to verify their cultivation level and age, and then receive a jade token. With the jade token, they can participate in the selection of the Holy Maiden."

"Actually, even if you don't register, you can still be selected as long as you participate in the selection process. It's just that your age and cultivation level need to be verified on the spot, which is a bit troublesome. It's better to go in advance."

"So lenient?" Li Yinsheng was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it's said that the selection of the Holy Maiden has always been lenient," Qu Yunshu nodded.

"It seems that the Holy Origin Palace is quite worried about missing out on talented and promising female cultivators," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

Seeing Li Yinsheng smile, Qu Yunshu felt a little relieved.

"I am about to register at the Holy Origin Palace, so I came to find Fellow Daoist Li and Sister Mu. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li would be willing to go with me..." she asked cautiously.

"It would be best to travel with Miss Qu," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

Qu Yunshu immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that Fellow Daoist Li doesn't have much dissatisfaction with him, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

"Junior sister, let's go register," Li Yinsheng said.

Mu Xiaoyu blinked as she exited the visualization, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Senior brother, could we go a little later? I almost hit you... I hit you in the painting! Let me try two more times..."

Li Yinsheng put away the visualization diagram and transformed into a beam of light, engulfing Mu Xiaoyu.

"You'll have plenty of time to try it when you get back."

"Try one more time, just one more time, please, senior brother..."

Two beams of light rose from within the mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Li's escape technique is truly exquisite; I admire it greatly."

"Miss Qu, you flatter me," Li Yinsheng said. "After registering, I have another matter to ask of you. I wonder if Miss Qu's Wanbaolou buys longevity pills?"

"Fellow Daoist Li has longevity pills!" Qu Yunshu was overjoyed: "We'll take as many as you have!"

……

at the same time.

In another part of Shengyuan City, a girl dressed in a crimson-gold glazed dress and wearing a half-feathered gold mask looked behind her with dissatisfaction.

Behind her, three women, dressed differently, with delicate features and pretty faces, were walking slowly, laughing and joking.

"Seniors, we are here to register for the Holy Maiden selection. Aren't you worried at all?"

The woman who was in the lead among the three covered her mouth and chuckled: "Little Chiling, the registration won't end until the Saintess selection, what's the rush?"

"I'm in a hurry to register and return to continue my cultivation," the girl said coldly.

"Hehehe, does your clan even need to cultivate? Aren't you born with it..."

The girl frowned and interrupted, "Senior, please be careful with your words. After all, we are currently in the remnant of an Earth Immortal."

"Oh dear, Little Chiling is too tense," the leading woman said, a strikingly alluring and seductive glint in her eyes. "How can you, a little bird, be more cautious than us foxes?"

“Senior, you are currently using the appearance of a human woman.”

The girl said in a deep voice, "Please behave like a human female cultivator and don't attract attention unnecessarily."

"What should a human be like? Little girl, do you know much about human cultivators?"

The woman at the head shook her head, her flirtatious expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a cool and dignified demeanor. She looked at the girl, her voice as cold as snow.

"Or is it that, in your eyes, this is what a human fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals should look like?"

The girl's eyes twitched: "Senior, you'd better keep it this way, so I can have some peace and quiet."

The three women behind her looked at each other, then suddenly burst into laughter, pointing and whispering at her.

The girl's face darkened, and she transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, heading straight for the center of Shengyuan City.

Chapter 190 Golden Crow Girl

In Shengyuan City.

Two beams of light landed in front of the towering pillar, and Li Yinsheng, Mu Xiaoyu, and Qu Yunshu emerged from it.

The so-called "below the Holy Yuan Palace" is the area enclosed by these giant array pillars.

Once inside, flying is no longer permitted; one must walk to the registration area.

Once he got close enough, Li Yinsheng realized that the array formed by these giant pillars, in addition to its defensive function, was also related to the Holy Yuan Palace that had always been suspended in the sky.

That seemingly magnificent palace should be suspended in the sky by its own power, but its ability to hide in the void is supported by this formation.

"However many longevity pills Fellow Daoist Li has, my Qu family and Wanbaolou will buy them all without hesitation. We will absolutely not let Fellow Daoist Li suffer any loss in price."

Qu Yunshu transmitted her voice to Li Yinsheng.

"Oh? As far as I know, longevity pills are not common and are quite valuable. Miss Qu agreed to it so readily. Shouldn't you discuss it with the elders of your clan?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're joking. With your eyesight, can't you see my cultivation level?" Qu Yunshu blinked and said.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Li Yinsheng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Congratulations, Miss Qu, on breaking through to the Water Element Realm."

He had already noticed Qu Yunshu when she arrived, but she immediately started talking about registration, so Li Yinsheng didn't have a chance to congratulate her.

Qu Yunshu first bowed to thank Li Yinsheng for his congratulations, and then smiled.

"With my current cultivation level, I have the power to make decisions on most matters in the Qu family, including Fellow Daoist Li's desire to sell longevity pills."

Li Yinsheng nodded, not finding it strange at all.

The highest-ranking member of the Qu family was an ancestor at the Earthly Origin Realm, and a Water Origin True Person who was less than a hundred years old. Although their foundations were the shallowest among them, their potential should not be underestimated.

"Besides..." Qu Yunshu paused and said, "My Qu family is actually in dire need of longevity pills."

She hesitated for a moment before sending this message to Li Yinsheng.

This matter should not be easily mentioned to outsiders.

"Are you in dire need of longevity pills? Is it because one of our fellow Daoists from the Qu family is nearing the end of his lifespan?" Li Yinsheng asked.

“Yes…it is my Qu family’s ancestor,” Qu Yunshu said.

The ancestor of the Qu family, who was at the Earthly Realm? What a coincidence...

Li Yinsheng's heart stirred slightly.

During this month, he also gained some understanding of the various forces in Shengyuan City.
