I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

Fang Xuan came out of the hot spring, dried himself off, and changed into clean clothes.

Throughout the process, he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his back from time to time.

What a novel feeling.

The adaptability of the spirit bone was astonishing; he could clearly feel that the speed of the circulation of spiritual energy within his body had increased significantly.

Even more miraculously, the bone fragment seemed to be alive, actively merging with his body.

Strands of golden veins slowly extended from his spiritual bones, winding their way toward his heart.

Fang Xuan clenched his fist, feeling his entire body's strength become more agile and free.

He felt that his previous talent was already top-notch, but now, with the blessing of true "innate spiritual bones," he understands what it means to have "people beyond people, bones beyond bones."

As he was experiencing the changes brought about by his new bones, Ning Qian, already dressed, came over.

She was also holding a white hairband that looked quite old.

"Hair." She said succinctly, gesturing for Fang Xuan to sit down.

Fang Xuan was a little confused: "I can do it myself..."

"Sit still." Ning Qian's tone left no room for argument, her cold eyes fixed on him with unwavering determination.

Fang Xuan had no choice but to obediently sit on the blue stone by the pond.

Ning Qian walked behind him and gently combed his still slightly damp black hair with her fingers.

She used the old hairband to tie Fang Xuan's hair into a high ponytail.

After tying it up, she even adjusted the position of the hairband to make sure it was neat and secure.

Fang Xuan looked at it through the reflection in the pool.

Hmm, looks quite energetic, but that hairstyle... it's a bit too youthful.

It doesn't quite align with the "Immortal Venerable" path he wanted to take.

He preferred the Immortal Venerable's long, flowing hair style.

"Senior sister, actually I prefer wearing it draped over my shoulders..." he suggested tentatively.

"It looks good this way," Ning Qian interrupted him.

She looked at the old hairband she wore on Fang Xuan's hair and felt a strange sense of pleasure.

It seems... by marking him like this, my junior brother is more like... belonging to her.

The thought made her ears burn again, so she quickly withdrew her hand, turned around, and walked out of the bamboo forest first: "Let's go, the medicinal effects need to be stabilized after absorption, let's go back and recuperate."

Fang Xuan touched the tightly tied ponytail at the back of his head, shook his head and chuckled, then got up and followed.

How could he not see through his senior sister's little scheme?

When she's feeling a bit cold, she'll try her best to keep a straight face.

When I'm shy, I can't even speak clearly, and I don't know how I manage to calm myself down.

........

Back in the courtyard, Ning Qian seemed to have something to take care of, so she went out for a while.

Fang Xuan returned to his room, closed the door, and the first thing he did was check the system.

After such a stimulating experience yesterday, the training value should have some results, right?

[Yesterday's training session is now complete!]

【Spiritual Power Buns x166】

.......

Fang Xuan looked at the "spiritual energy bun" as big as a washbasin in his consciousness space and his lips twitched slightly.

Ten times the volume? A thousand times the spiritual power? This thing could be eaten in one meal.

And then there's that "I'm not a masochist" constitution... Just reading the name and description gave him a chill down his spine...

As for the new features... the task guide sounds somewhat useful.

But that sensory transformation... Fang Xuan politely declined, truly fearing it might lead him down a strange, irreversible path...

......

Overall, it's alright.

This at least shows that the system is still capable of growth, and perhaps it will actually produce some good stuff in the future.

Let's take out a few normal small steamed buns first.

With the pure spiritual energy entering his abdomen, combined with the effects of the new spiritual bone, his cultivation level steadily increased by a small margin.

As for that big steamed bun, he decided to save it for when he needed to break through a bottleneck.

I pushed open the door; it was already close to dusk.

The afterglow painted the sky a purplish-red hue, and the clouds were outlined with pale gold edges. A few lone birds returning to their nests flew across the sky, leaving behind only a few clear cries.

The evening breeze carried the chill of late autumn, rustling the bamboo leaves in the courtyard.

beautiful view.

Fang Xuan stood under the eaves, somewhat lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been in this world and living in this small courtyard for almost half a year.

From late spring to late autumn, winter will soon be here.

time flies.

I've spent most of the past six months in this small courtyard in the valley.

Practicing swordsmanship, eating, teasing senior sisters, getting annoyed by the system, occasionally going down the mountain... simple, even somewhat monotonous.

But for some reason, he quite liked it.

I love the tranquility here, and I love the rustling sound of the bamboo forest.

I especially like my senior sister.

Unfortunately, I'll be leaving here in two months.

......

Well, it's almost dinnertime.

Although cultivators at his level have long since abstained from grains.

Ning Qian enjoys cooking and watching him eat, so he's happy to oblige.

Moreover, the food my senior sister makes is filled with all sorts of top-grade spiritual herbs, making it more effective at replenishing qi and blood than many elixirs.

He took two more steamed buns from the system, and while munching on them, he strolled over to the woodshed next door.

He'll have to eat those hundred-plus steamed buns for at least a week.

In the corner of the woodshed, a soft, limp thing sensed his approach and immediately trembled as it shrank into the deeper shadows, making a "plop plop" sound.

Over the past few days, it seems to have grown a little bit, but it's still far from being "plump and edible" next time.

Fang Xuan squatted down and poked its cold body with his finger.

The black shaky monster trembled even more violently.

"Grows so slowly..." Fang Xuan muttered, rummaging through his storage ring and pulling out a low-grade trash pill, which he casually stuffed into the Black Tai Sui's mouth.

"Grow up quickly, I'm craving your taste."

Black Tai Sui: "..."

After feeding the "reserve food," Fang Xuan's next target was a few small wine jars in the corner of the woodshed.

It was a spirit wine brewed by Ning Qian himself, and there wasn't much of it. He would occasionally come and steal a little to drink.

No matter how expensive the wine you buy outside is, it always lacks a certain flavor.

He picked up the wine jars and shook them; they were all empty except for the last small jar.

"It's almost gone..."

Fang Xuan felt somewhat regretful.

Winter is approaching. If only my senior sister could use the unopened blossoms from those old plum trees in the corner of the courtyard to brew some more plum blossom wine.

However, I'll be leaving in two months.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for the plum blossom wine.

.......

I left the woodshed and returned to the courtyard.

He sat alone on the rooftop, sipping his wine in the cool evening breeze.

Watching the last rays of dawn on the horizon slowly swallowed by the twilight.

Ning Qian also came out of the house at some point and sat down next to him.

She didn't speak, but sat quietly, watching the sky with him.

After a while, she suddenly spoke softly, "Why are you still lost in thought?"

Fang Xuan snapped out of his reverie and smiled, "It's nothing."

"Senior sister, the New Year is almost here."

Ning Qian gave a soft "hmm," remained silent for a moment, then quietly reached out her hand, her fingers hesitantly moving towards the object.

Then, it gently tucked into Fang Xuan's hand, which was casually resting to the side.

Fang Xuan was slightly taken aback, then closed his five fingers and enveloped the slightly cool little hand.

Palms touching, warmth transferred.

Ning Qian felt the warmth coming from her palm, and her heart beat a few beats faster.

She lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she were gathering great courage.

As night deepened, starlight began to appear sporadically.

There were no lights on in the courtyard, only the dim moonlight and starlight.

Just when Fang Xuan thought she would remain quiet, Ning Qian suddenly spoke again.

The sound was very soft, almost carried away by the night breeze:

"Does what you said before still stand...?"

"Huh?" Fang Xuan didn't understand which sentence she was referring to. "What?"

Ning Qian's face flushed red in the night, and even her neck turned pink.

She seemed to have used up all her courage to ask that question, but when Fang Xuan asked her a question in return, that courage instantly vanished.

"N-nothing...nothing..." She pulled her hand back, then quickly stood up, speaking rapidly, "I...I'll go check on the herb field."

Having said that, without waiting for Fang Xuan's reaction, he turned and quickly walked towards the herb field, his figure appearing somewhat flustered in the moonlight...
