In another room, Gu Yunzhi's heart was once again filled with the voice of Xiao I Robot.
"Ding dong, congratulations, master, for successfully obtaining the assistance of Xiao Xuner to help Xiao Yan's father and sponsoring the 'Foundation Essence' fund. You have been rewarded with 200,000 gold coins and 60,000 experience points. In addition, you have earned a chance to draw a prize. So far, you have accumulated three chances to draw a prize."
Gu Yunzhi flashed a hint of joy in his eyes, and this time's help obviously improved the situation of Xiao Yan's father in The Xiao Family, and also accumulated more gold coins and experience for himself.
She smiled and said to Xiao I Robot, "Okay, thank you, Xiao-I. I choose to save the lottery opportunity and use it when needed."
" Xiao I Robot voice sounded again: "Understood, master. With your current coins and experience points, you can already enhance many abilities and gain more information in the virtual world. Please let me know your needs at any time, and I will do my best to serve you."
Gu Yunzhi nodded gently, with a glint of anticipation in his eyes."
She understood that only by constantly improving herself could she survive in this virtual world and provide more support to Xiao Yan.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, turned to look at Xiao-I, and frowned, saying, " Xiao-I, now that I have taken Xiao Xun'er's opportunity, what will happen to Xuner in the end?"
Xiao-I's answer is concise and clear: "In the end, the outcome of Xiao Xun'er and Yunyun is reversed."
Upon hearing this answer, Gu Yunzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly asked, "Can't the outcome of Yunyun and Medusa be reversed instead?"
Gu Yunzhi There are mixed feelings in her heart, because she also does not want to see Xun'er's hope shattered.
"The master must seize the opportunity to capture the Queen Medusa next." Xiao-I replied.
She walked to the dressing table, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and began to write densely.
Xiao I Robot asked in confusion, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Yan will focus on cultivation from now on. He dragged me to the street market today to buy a bunch of medicinal materials, obviously preparing for seclusion," she explained.
"I plan to leave temporarily, go back to check on the situation of Yunyun, and inquire about the current situation in the mountainous area to see if he has already had any contact with the people from the Soul Palace."
After finishing writing the letter, Gu Yunzhi placed it on the table.
She knew that Xiao Yan would be fully devoted to cultivation next, and this letter might be set aside for a while.
Perhaps when she comes back again, Xiao Yan may not have had time to open this letter yet.
The next morning, in the Warcraft Mountains.
"Eight Extremes Shatter!"
In the small grove at the mountaintop, the clear and cold sound of drinking echoed through the air for a moment.
A nimble figure leaped among the trees, the dense thorns in the forest posed no obstacle for him.
The next moment, this figure suddenly stopped in front of a sturdy tree, with his feet slightly off, his body half-slanted, and suddenly struck the big tree with his elbow.
"Bang!" A sound, wood chips flying, a spider web-like crack spread from the elbow strike.
"Creak..." The big tree was blasted with a large hole, making a shaking sound, and after a moment, it finally fell to the ground powerlessly.
At the moment the big tree fell, the agile figure had already retreated and lightly landed on a large blue rock.
Xiao Yan looked at the results in front of him, a satisfied smile appearing on his delicate face. For the first time in three months, he successfully executed the advanced fighting technique - Eight Desolation Burst. This skill, which can rival ground-level fighting techniques, truly satisfied him. With only the sixth stage of Qi of Fight, he was able to display such astonishing destructive power, enough to compare with the eighth stage of Qi of Fight!
With the increase in Qi of Fight, the speed of leveling up has also become slow.
Since the last time he purchased a large amount of alchemy materials with Gu Yunzhi, Xiao Yan has been in seclusion for a full three months.
Until the last few days of the third month, he only advanced from the fifth stage to the sixth stage of Qi of Fight by chance.
In three months, he only advanced one stage of Qi of Fight. Although the speed seemed slower compared to the previous two months, Xiao Yan was still quite satisfied with the result.
Looking back, it took him nearly half a year to advance from the fifth stage of struggle to the sixth. And now, his progress is undoubtedly quite remarkable.
After performing the Eight Extremities Collapse, Xiao Yan felt as if his entire body had been tightly squeezed like a sponge, with a continuous sensation of soreness eroding his nerves. The veins on his arms were visibly pulsating, a clear sign of exertion.
Gently licking his lips, Xiao Yan made a concerted effort to turn his head slightly and looked at his right elbow, which was already swollen and inflamed.
"Uh..." He couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, bitterly muttering to himself, "No wonder it requires such rigorous training. Otherwise, using this move would not break the tree, but my arm. This Eight Extremities Breaking, it's really about whose body is tougher."
Lying weakly on the cool giant rock, Xiao Yan's breathing gradually stabilized, but the soreness in his body made him reluctant to move.
With his current sixth stage Qi of Fight, he can only perform the Eight Extremities Collapse once, and after using it, he will be completely powerless and need to rest and recover.
Xiao Yan looked up and leisurely gazed at the clouds in the sky, as a gentle breeze brushed his black hair across his forehead.
Deep within his body, the Foundation Essence that he had been absorbing for many months was quietly nourishing his weary muscles and cells, allowing him to quickly regain his strength.
"Master, how much longer do I need to reach the seventh stage of Qi of Fight?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked in a low voice, his eyes half-closed.
As long as he can advance to the seventh rank, he will be qualified to enter the Battle Qi Pavilion to seek martial arts techniques. Although he currently looks down on the battle qi techniques of the Xiao Family, he needs this qualification because it is related to his father's reputation.
A gentle breeze brushed by, and the figure of the medicine master appeared next to the giant rock.
Smiling at the young man, the Medicine Master first inspected the broken tree, nodded in approval, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Your progress has exceeded my expectations. I thought even with the help of the spiritual liquid, it would take you a year to reach the seventh stage. Perhaps the previous suppression has now rebounded, leading to even faster progress. At this rate, within two months, you will definitely be able to advance to the seventh stage of Qi of Fight."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's mouth curved into a smile. He was looking forward to seeing the expressions of those clan members who had previously mocked him when he demonstrated his true strength. He recalled the scene in the hall six months ago, the words he said to Nalan Yanran were actually directed at them as well.
"Three years ago, I, Xiao Yan, was able to create miracles. Three years later, I still can!" His eyes shone with determination as he recalled the lonely yet resolute figure he cut in the hall that day, filled with stubbornness and persistence.
"Nalan Yanran, I am steadily approaching you. Just wait quietly. Three years later, we will meet at the Yunlan Sect!" A mischievous smile played on the young man's lips as he suddenly jumped up and shouted into the boundless sky.
Looking at the shouting young man, Medicine Master smiled and did not stop him. He knew that people need pressure to grow. Xiao Yan has enough talent, what he needs now is a pressure point that can motivate him to work hard. Nalan Yanran's appearance just provided him with such pressure.
"Take her as your stepping stone, step by step on the path to becoming stronger, you still have a long way to go."
"Let's go, let's go home and cultivate!"
After shouting a few times, Xiao Yan's face showed a satisfied smile. He jumped off the boulder, waved to Medicine Master, and happily ran towards the foot of the mountain.
After returning to the Xiao Family, Xiao Yan always felt like something was off, like something was missing.
"Yes, what about Gu Yunzhi? Why haven't we seen her recently?"
"You're only noticing now? That girl hasn't been around for a long time. Maybe she's avoiding disturbing you while you're in seclusion for cultivation."
"We'll go to her place and take a look," Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Yan and medicine master walked to Gu Yunzhi's residence together. They pushed open the door, and the room was quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing the curtains outside. They looked at the neatly arranged room, but it lacked Gu Yunzhi's usual laughter and liveliness.
They walked to the dressing table and saw a letter placed on the table. Unable to resist, they picked it up and opened it. The handwriting on the letter was elegant, it was Gu Yunzhi's handwriting.
The letter read: "Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of recently and need to leave for a while. I know you are going into seclusion for cultivation this time, but I will try to rush back before you come out. During this time, you must focus on your cultivation and not let outside matters disturb you. I will think of you often and hope you will think of me too. When I come back, we will work together again to make everyone in The Xiao Family look up to you. Wishing you well, looking forward to our reunion. - Yun Zhi "
After reading the letter, Xiao Yan couldn't help feeling a mix of melancholy and longing. He knew Gu Yunzhi must have had important matters to attend to in order to leave temporarily, but he still couldn't help missing her company. He carefully placed the letter back on the table, looked at the sky outside, and silently made a wish, hoping Gu Yunzhi would return soon so they could stand together again and face the future challenges.
He turned and walked out of the room, saying to the medicine master, "I understand. She has her own things to do, and I need to continue to work hard in my cultivation. I can't let her down. Medicine master, let's go back and continue our cultivation."
The medicine master nodded. He could feel Xiao Yan's determination and knew that besides cultivation, this young man also deeply missed Gu Yunzhi.
They left Gu Yunzhi's residence together and returned to Xiao Yan's place to start practicing cultivation.
While practicing, Xiao Yan's longing for Gu Yunzhi became the driving force behind his efforts to move forward.
