My Fairy Raising Game

"Young master, the Fan Jin you brought back is practically a starving ghost."

That day, not long after Shen Yu finished eating, Yu Rourou complained as she cleared the dishes:

"The food that I had someone buy was supposed to last for half a month, but it's all gone in just a few days since he arrived."

"He eats more by himself than all of us combined, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger."

"Yeah?"

Shen Yu remained expressionless, recalling Fan Jin's muscular physique and the fiery energy within his body, and said, "Call him over later so I can take a look."

A short while later, Fan Jin walked in.

It was already deep winter, yet Fan Jin was still dressed in a single layer of clothing, seemingly oblivious to the cold. Though his frame beneath the clothes was somewhat thin, it exuded a lean and capable air.

"Fan Jin pays his respects to the young master."

No one knows what Old Fan told this kid... Upon seeing Shen Yu, he obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his forehead hitting the floor with a loud thud.

Shen Yu's lips twitched: "Alright, get up, come closer so I can take a look..."

Fan Jin got up as instructed and went to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu glanced at him and clearly noticed that this guy was much stronger than when he was at Qionglao Mountain, and his blood and qi were also more abundant.

He reached out and released a burst of true energy, enveloping Fan Jin and carefully sensing him. After a moment, Shen Yu was somewhat surprised.

"His physique has become even stronger through physical training, yet this guy isn't a cultivator... Could it be that Fan Jin has some hidden talent that was activated upon arriving in the outer sect, a place abundant with spiritual energy?"

Thinking of this, Shen Yu's gaze towards Fan Jin couldn't help but take on a slightly different hue.

However, his fairy-raising game can only reveal the talents of women; it cannot reveal the talents of men.

"By the way, it seems that this guy developed his super strong physique because he ate some kind of poisonous mushroom when he was a child."

Shen Yu remembered what Old Fan had said and asked, "Fan Jin, have you noticed any strange changes in yourself these past few days?"

Fan Jin tilted his head and thought hard for a moment, then clenched his fist and said, "Reporting to my lord, I've become stronger and I'm eating more."

Shen Yu asked, "Do you still remember what the poisonous mushrooms you ate when you were a child looked like?"

Fan Jin shook his head: "This subordinate does not remember."

"Alright..."

Shen Yu was somewhat helpless and waved for him to leave.

Regardless of whether Fan Jin has awakened any talent or not, this change is ultimately a good thing.

......

Late at night, in a quiet room.

Yu Rourou sat cross-legged on the futon with a solemn expression, silently practicing her internal energy cultivation.

A pile of ore lay before her, from which wisps of metallic essence flowed, as if drawn by some force, rushing towards her and vying to enter her body, coating her skin with a thin layer of golden light.

At the same time, wisps of primordial energy from all directions surged in and were refined by Yu Rourou as she breathed and circulated it.

Shen Yu looked at Yu Rourou in front of him.

After several days of continuous practice, Yu Rourou made rapid progress.

Both are cultivating the "Nine Revolutions Gengjin Sword Technique," but Shen Yu, being a Nascent Soul cultivator, only needs to focus on condensing the core Gengjin Sword Pill of the technique, which will not conflict with his original True Qi cultivation.

Yu Rourou, however, was different.

She used the "Nine Revolutions Gengjin Sword Manual" as her main Taoist text for cultivation.

Besides needing to condense the Gengjin Sword Pill, she also needs to properly practice breathing exercises. Therefore, it is still too early for her to truly condense the Gengjin Sword Pill. However, according to the classification of cultivation realms, she is about to enter the minor stage of Qi Refining tonight.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Rourou finished her practice and opened her eyes.

Her breathing calmed down, and a sharp edge seemed to appear between her brows.

Clearly, this little maid has now officially become a Qi Refining cultivator, and she has even entered the Dao through swordsmanship.

However, just as Yu Rourou finished her practice, she suddenly groaned, her face turned pale, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Um?"

Seeing this, Shen Yu's expression changed slightly. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yu Rourou's arm, and wanted to investigate.

However, the next moment, he released his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

After touching Yu Rourou's arm, Shen Yu felt as if his palm was being pierced by hundreds of iron needles, and his palm was extremely painful.

"The abnormality occurred shortly after I entered the path of cultivation."

He glanced at his long, intact hands, then at Yu Rourou, his expression somewhat strange. "Could it be... that Yu Rourou's dormant innate sword bone talent has been stimulated and is beginning to awaken?"

The moment he touched Yu Rourou's arm, he felt a strange power within her body, a power that seemed to seep out from deep within her and surge throughout her entire being.

Moreover, this power gave Shen Yu a strange yet familiar feeling, much like the power that tempered his body when he obtained the "Innate Sword Bone".

However, Shen Yu was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the time, and his physique was far stronger than Rou Rou's, so he was unharmed.

However, Yu Rourou is currently only at the initial stage of cultivation, having become a Qi Refining cultivator. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is still a mortal. Under this domineering and strange power, she is somewhat unable to withstand it.

Her body seemed to be being ravaged and destroyed by this force; her skin and flesh were tearing apart, and her bones were cracking, causing her considerable pain.

Fortunately, this force also possessed a strange vitality, which, while causing destruction, also healed Yu Rou Rou's injuries.

Therefore, although Yu Rourou was in some danger at this time, she was generally unharmed and was even in a state of miraculous transformation, which was quite similar to the transformation Shen Yu underwent when he obtained the innate sword bone.

The difference is that Shen Yu obtained the innate sword bone out of thin air, while Yu Rourou awakened her long-dormant talent—the innate sword bone.

"Young Master..."

Yu Rourou was, after all, just a naive young girl who had never encountered anything like this before.

Feeling the pain and abnormalities all over her body, she was clearly panicked. She subconsciously looked at Shen Yu, her bright almond-shaped eyes filled with fear, like a frightened fawn.

"Calm down! This is a good thing, don't overthink it."

Shen Yu offered words of comfort, his voice gentle: "All you need to do now is calm your mind and focus."

Perhaps out of trust in Shen Yu, Yu Rourou was visibly relieved upon hearing this, gradually calmed down, and closed her eyes.

About half an hour later, the transformation ended, and Yu Rourou slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes were initially somewhat dazed, but she quickly came to her senses and her gaze fell on Shen Yu.

"Young Master!"

Yu Rourou blinked, then stood up with a beaming smile, leaned close to Shen Yu, and spoke with a tone full of joy and affection:

"Young master, this servant is a cultivator now!"
