Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

More than ten times!

It's no wonder that every time an attribute manual appears on the Qian Yuan Continent, it triggers a bloodbath.

This thing is really amazing.

His cultivation speed improved significantly, but the witch began to mutter to herself.

This isn't right.

Not scientific!

The training manual she gave Fan Zui was clearly recited backwards.

In other words, Fan Zui is currently practicing cultivation in reverse.

There is only one possible outcome: the meridians become disordered, the vital energy becomes chaotic, and ultimately the meridians are severed, leading to death from qi deviation.

But what's with this lecherous young man in front of me...?

This is impossible.

The idea that one can complete the Great Circulation of Qi by practicing the cultivation method in reverse is already quite absurd.

His cultivation speed was more than twice that of when I first started cultivating.

This makes it even harder to explain.

Why is it?

Li Hanqiu couldn't figure out the key to this, and could only think that after the dream ended, he would find someone to practice it in reverse.

Time flies when you're cultivating.

In the blink of an eye, Fan Zui had been in meditation for an hour.

Today's dream is about to end.

Knowing the dream would soon end, Fan Zui immediately opened his eyes, looked at the witch, and thanked her:

"Thank you for your guidance. I'll be gentler with you next time."

The demoness's expression was icy, and she didn't respond.

Next time, you'll want there to be a next time.

She did not set up any barriers or defenses in this dream.

He can forget about coming in next time.

Even if he manages to get in through other means, I'll make sure he doesn't get out.

Today's humiliation will be repaid a thousandfold one day.

"Witch, see you in two days."

Fan Zui waved to her as a farewell.

"and many more……"

At the last moment, the witch suddenly spoke, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Could I have this garment as a gift, as payment for guiding your spiritual practice?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Zui was slightly taken aback.

Women in this era only wore items like bellybands and breast wraps as their undergarments.

There are no underwear or panties...

Hmm, if people in ancient times didn't wear underwear, what did they wear?

Fan Zui suddenly had an unprecedented thought.

"This is a dream, and these clothes are naturally a product of my thoughts. If you want to take them, feel free to do so."

As soon as the words were spoken, the dream ended.

in reality.

on the bed.

Fan Zui opened his eyes instantly.

The first thing he did was to quickly lift the blanket and check himself.

Finally, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's more than three centimeters.

A gentle breeze drifted in through the window, carrying the delicate fragrance of the nine-lobed jasmine and jade-green flowers in the courtyard.

The birds in the garden, nestled among the artificial hills, have fallen silent from their noisy chirping.

In my ears, I could hear the gentle murmur of a brook.

Utter silence.

Fan Zui rolled out of bed and went to the window.

I took a deep breath and immediately felt much more awake.

The night breeze brushed against my face, seemingly carrying a few raindrops.

It looks like it's going to rain.

I wonder where the old lady is now, and whether she is safe and sound.

Looking at the dense, approaching dark clouds in the sky, Fan Zui secretly worried about the old lady's safety.

It's not anything else, it's just that the Fan family has too many powerful enemies on the Qian Yuan Continent, who are eyeing them covetously.

If those people are given the opportunity, they will surely pounce on them and tear the Fan family to shreds.

Suddenly, Fan was lost in the darkness. In a daze, he seemed to see a dark shadow flash by in the pitch-black fog ahead. It disappeared in an instant.

I rubbed my eyes, but there was nothing there. The breeze continued, but then grew increasingly violent and raging.

A heavy rain was inevitable.

The sky, which was just moments ago clear and bright, is now devoid of any stars.

The delicate fragrance of flowers wafting in the breeze reminded Fan Zui of the witch in his dream.

Li Hanqiu, a name that carries a chilling and murderous intent.

Good name!

However, although he knew a lot about the world, he had never heard of this name before.

Could it be that she is not from the Qian Yuan Empire?

In the Qian Yuan Continent, the Qian Yuan Empire occupies half of the world's affairs, while the other half is occupied by the Northern Barbarians and Tian Yuan City.

Judging from the woman's attire, she looked remarkably like someone from the Qian Yuan Empire.

However, given her power at the Formless Realm, she should have at least been heard of within the Qian Yuan territory.

Why do I have no recollection of it at all?

Purple hair, purple eyes, purple skirt—it really had no effect whatsoever.

Of course, it's also possible that she was hiding her identity.

After all, the demon race has long been wiped out. Now, the few that have escaped the net have changed their names and identities, hidden their techniques, and dare not reveal their true forms.

This is the most likely reason, which is why I've never heard of her.

[Ding, dream over!]

[Cultivation Power Feedback: Having gained half a step into the Phoenix Realm in reality, the remaining cultivation power is entirely used to nourish the physical body.]

In an instant, Fan Zui felt a surge of energy coursing through his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.

Chapter 9 [Piercing Through the Heavens]

The first stage of cultivation is when all chronic illnesses disappear, the body feels light and the mind is at ease, the mind is focused inward, the spirit is calm and the breath is peaceful, the four elements are in harmony, the six emotions are extinguished, the mind is at peace and profound, one embraces the One and guards the center, and joy is renewed daily; this is called attaining the Dao.

After breaking through to the next realm, one is free from illness, feels light and healthy, and can absorb Qi into the celestial palace; this is called the Phoenix Initial Realm.

Even someone with no talent, if summoned by the mysteries of heaven and earth, might be able to reach the initial stage of the Phoenix Realm in this lifetime, but that's all they can do.

Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven; without the right aptitude, one can only waste one's efforts.

The Phoenix Beginning Realm allows one to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the body's internal vortex, thus prolonging life and strengthening the body.

With diligent effort, one can learn a simple martial arts technique or two for self-defense, and that would be enough.

Even a cultivator with average talent and no outstanding qualities can reach the initial Phoenix Realm after more than ten years of diligent and persistent practice.

If you want to go further, you need a special opportunity.
