Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Inside the grotto.

After repeatedly confirming, Li Yinsheng finally came to the conclusion that he was indeed a real person.

He possessed all the abilities and characteristics of a true immortal, and when he used the methods to break through to the level of a true immortal in the Qingxuan True Scripture, he felt nothing.

"So..." Li Yinsheng said thoughtfully.

"Is it because my current cultivation level is too profound, and the True Blood Scripture I'm cultivating as a supplement also has a foundation of over eighty years, that I was able to break through so easily?"

This was the most reasonable possibility he could think of.

After all, the notes of the senior cultivators all record that a deeper level of cultivation and some success in auxiliary cultivation will make it easier to break through to the True Person realm.

"Yes, that can be considered a point of knowledge."

Li Yinsheng rubbed his chin.

"I have now broken through to the True Person realm and am qualified to leave behind my own notes and insights. I will record them here to remind future disciples..."

"If one can cultivate the Pure Profound Scripture to the eleventh level and supplement it with the True Blood Secret Manual to the seventh level, breaking through to the True Person level will be a natural and easy process."

"No, there's a prerequisite: these two goals must be achieved before the age of fifty..."

He didn't know if anyone would need this knowledge in the future, but he decided to memorize it for now, just in case.

After meditating cross-legged for over a month, Li Yinsheng gained a new insight—

For a true master like him who breaks through to the next level naturally, stabilizing their realm after the breakthrough is very easy.

Another difference between a true cultivator and an ordinary cultivator is that the soul and body of an ordinary cultivator are in a state of confusion and entanglement, which hinders each other.

A poor physical condition will affect the soul. Problems with the soul will also affect the body.

Because a true cultivator's three souls and seven spirits are perfectly integrated, a sea of ​​consciousness will naturally open up in their spiritual platform, allowing the souls to reside within it. The physical body and souls remain inseparable, but they will no longer have a negative influence on each other.

For example, ordinary cultivators, although they also have divine sense, are constrained by their physical bodies, so their range is small and their senses are not precise enough.

True cultivators are not affected by this. Even if both have the same level of cultivation, the range and precision of a true cultivator's divine sense far surpasses that of an ordinary cultivator.

However, correspondingly, newly enlightened cultivators are not very stable because their sea of ​​consciousness is newly opened and their soul is only just beginning to integrate.

Therefore, it takes time to stabilize the soul and consciousness.

However, Li Yinsheng discovered that he did not have this problem. He found that although he had just broken through, his three souls and seven spirits were already very harmonious, and there was no sign of his sea of ​​consciousness wavering.

The pure and mysterious divine light that originally existed in the dantian, like a hazy moonlight, also separated half of itself at some unknown time and entered the newly opened sea of ​​consciousness, illuminating the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

The Pure Profound Divine Light originally possessed a clear and bright spiritual platform, which was effective in resisting illusions. After he broke through to the True Person realm, it illuminated his sea of ​​consciousness, and this effect was further enhanced.

However, due to the increase in cultivation level, the amount of Pure Profound Divine Light also increased. Even if half of it was separated, the amount of Pure Profound Divine Light in the dantian was about the same as before.

Moreover, he could freely access both the Pure and Profound Divine Light in his dantian and his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Very good. After breaking through to the True Person realm, my control over the Pure Profound Divine Light itself has also improved significantly."

Li Yinsheng gazed at the clear light emanating from his fingertips and nodded in satisfaction: "In the future, the efficiency of cleansing and rejuvenating my junior sister's marrow will be much higher, and the upper limit of the effect should also be higher."

The downside is that it will also hurt more.

However, my junior sister has endured it all before, so there's no reason for her to be afraid of this little bit of pain!

He tried to cleanse his body with the Pure Profound Divine Light, but found that the effect was limited. This was probably because after breaking through to the True Person realm, there were no more impurities in his body.

He then tried circulating the True Blood Codex.

After reaching the seventh level of the True Blood Codex, the quantity and upper limit of True Blood both reach seven thousand drops.

Moreover, a new divine phenomenon was added when breaking through to the sixth level.

This period of seclusion has been incredibly fruitful.

Li Yinsheng was extremely satisfied.

"Wait... it's the sixth level now, so what about the corresponding external changes..."

Li Yinsheng suddenly realized that he remembered that question.

The third level of the True Blood Codex only affects the hair, but the sixth level, when the Qi and blood reach the teeth and lips, will make one's "teeth as straight as pearls and lips as red as cinnabar."

Heaven knows if the description "lips as red as cinnabar" will make him look like he's wearing lipstick.

He quickly got up and went to the water's edge to look at his reflection.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His lips were indeed a bit rosier, but they had a lustrous, jade-like color, not the kind of red he was worried about from makeup. They didn't give off the effeminate vibe he feared.

"Fortunately, this way I don't have to manipulate my blood and energy or adjust my complexion myself."

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Yinsheng sat back down and began his cross-legged meditation, not intending to waste the remaining time.

In fact, according to the notes left by other senior immortals, after the soul is perfected and the sea of ​​consciousness is opened, the immortals will cultivate a technique to temper their soul.

This is something that ordinary cultivators, whose soul and body are still in a state of chaos, cannot cultivate.

All the notes mention that for a true cultivator, the soul and consciousness are extremely important, and the techniques for tempering the soul are indispensable.

But strangely, none of them explained why it was so important.

Li Yinsheng couldn't think too much about this, because he had already searched all over Xuanzhen Temple, but couldn't find a single so-called "Soul Tempering" technique.

Therefore, he can only continue to focus on cultivating the Pure Profound Scripture and the True Blood Secret Manual. After he gets out, he will settle these matters and then ask his master.

Fortunately, as he cultivated the Pure Profound Scripture, the Pure Profound Divine Light that filled his sea of ​​consciousness would slowly temper the soul floating in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

That should be able to make up for some of the losses.

……

In Mu Xiaoyu's bedroom.

After promising her senior brother that she would keep the talisman money safe, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt that her senior brother seemed to have changed a little.

She couldn't explain what the change was.

If I had to say something, it would be that... my senior brother suddenly looks a little better under the lights?

Could it be that because my senior brother gave me so many talisman coins, his image has become more attractive in my eyes?

She condemned herself in her heart.

Mu Xiaoyu, how could you change your impression of someone just because of money?

Although my senior brother was already quite handsome...

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"It's nothing," Mu Xiaoyu quickly shook her head, "I didn't see anything!"

Although she said that, another thought flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind—her senior brother's teeth are so white and bright, even whiter than the white jade seal at home.

Li Yinsheng did not press the matter further.

He had just emerged from the cave, having not only mastered the True Blood Scripture to the sixth level but also broken through to the True Person realm, so it was inevitable that he would give off a somewhat different vibe.

Even though he had tried his best to adjust his breathing the moment he came out.

After chatting with Mu Xiaoyu for a few more minutes, Li Yinsheng prepared to leave, telling her to get some rest.

She has rested for a whole day. Regardless of whether the people from Huanghe Temple come tomorrow, her junior sister must resume her normal cultivation.

But Mu Xiaoyu seemed to realize that Li Yinsheng was about to leave, so she quickly grabbed his sleeve and said somewhat shyly, "Senior brother... um..."

"What's wrong?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Senior brother, you've given me so much money for talismans, so I shouldn't ask you for anything more, but..."

Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and continued, "Could you give me another weapon? The kind that cultivators use for fighting."

"So you wanted a magical artifact? Don't worry, I'll give it to you in the future. But you don't have any magical power yet, so you can't use magical artifacts," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

"But those bad guys are coming tomorrow, and I want to fight for you, senior brother..." Mu Xiaoyu said earnestly.

Li Yinsheng was taken aback. He wanted to tell her that with her meager skills, even holding a magic weapon would be of no use.

But he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he patted her head and said, "Alright, then I'll give you a magical artifact."

He took out a gleaming three-foot-long sword from his Qiankun bag. The sword was covered with delicate patterns resembling fallen leaves, but the blade was as cold as autumn water.

"Wow!" Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. What a beautiful sword!

"This is a low-grade magic weapon I used before, called the Cold Leaf Sword," Li Yinsheng said with a smile. "But it can no longer keep up with my cultivation level, and I have a better magic weapon now."

"However, this sword has been with me for many years, and I don't want it to be left to gather dust, so I'll just hand it over to you."

Mu Xiaoyu took the sword, her eyes thoughtful.

……

Li Yinsheng has been gone for about half an hour.

But Mu Xiaoyu lay in bed, looking at the Cold Leaf Sword lying across the dressing table not far away, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"This is my senior brother's old magic weapon... Why did he give it to me?" Mu Xiaoyu was preoccupied.

She only wanted a magical artifact to fight with. Even if she was weak, having a weapon was better than having no weapon when those bad guys attacked.

But she didn't expect her senior brother to give her his old magical artifacts directly.

If her senior brother had only given her 100,000 talismans, she wouldn't have thought much of it.

But now he's even given himself the sword he's used for many years...

A terrible suspicion arose in Mu Xiaoyu's mind.

Could it be that his senior brother thought he might be in great danger tomorrow, so he gave him the talisman money and sword in advance?

Isn't that how it is in the stories told by storytellers and ballad singers?

If a great hero is about to do something extremely dangerous, something that could very well cost him his life, he will entrust his most precious possessions, such as the weapon he has used all his life, to his apprentice or a close relative, so that his important possessions will not be buried with him.

Senior brother, you wouldn't think so too, would you?!

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't fall asleep the more she thought about it.

Looking at the Frost Leaf Sword, which was still faintly glowing in the darkness, Mu Xiaoyu made up her mind that even if she hadn't mastered it yet, she absolutely couldn't hold her senior brother back tomorrow!

Even if it means death, she will face those bad guys together with her senior brother!

Father said that the Mu family has been brave and valiant for generations. No matter whether they are women or men, they must never be cowards who desert in the face of battle!

But then again, wouldn't death be very painful?

And wouldn't their parents be very sad?

Uh...

……

In Li Yinsheng's bedroom.

He sighed as he looked at the four small items on the table in front of him.

A rough, uneven stone mirror, a small, palm-sized black flag, a square copper brick, and a wooden wine vessel.

This is the mid-grade magic weapon he obtained from the other four people at Huanghe Temple.

Mu Xiaoyu wanted to ask him for a magical artifact so she could help him tomorrow. Although he knew it was useless, Li Yinsheng couldn't bear to refuse.

However, none of these four mid-grade magic artifacts look like weapons normally. They all require magic power to activate in order to unleash their power. Even if Mu Xiaoyu had them, she could only use them to smash people.

So after some consideration, Li Yinsheng gave his Cold Leaf Sword to Mu Xiaoyu.

Even without magic power, the Cold Leaf Sword is still a powerful and powerful ordinary weapon if you just pick it up and swing it around randomly.

"Sigh, these people from Huanghe Temple buy such fancy magical artifacts. If anyone had a magical artifact like a knife, spear, sword, or halberd, I wouldn't have given my old friend to Xiaoyu."

Li Yinsheng shook his head and sighed, feeling that he had been tricked by the people at Huanghe Temple.
