Intent

Of course, this was just a joke.

However, this also shows that Jade Marrow is indeed worth its price.

However, this is not all the gains from this period of seclusion. The energy capacity of human cells is limited, so naturally, his cultivation time is also limited.

He spent the rest of his time studying swordsmanship and movement techniques.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged in the training room, closing his eyes.

Consciousness manifests within the Mind Palace.

The gray lines surge like waves, with subtle hints of color emerging.

Before me lay a dilapidated temple, a light mist hanging in the air. A gilded Buddha statue lay sprawled on the ground, its shoulder corner cracked and several lines of dirt obscuring its solemn appearance.

Lin Yan gripped the Que Xie Sword tightly and went inside.

On the platform where the Buddha statue was originally placed, a Tiger Cat stared at him menacingly, its gaze icy.

This Tiger Cat has five tails and its fur is dark, which is relatively rare among Tiger Cat.

This was one of the four Primary Lord level monsters he encountered in City No. 003. It was the weakest of them, but very alert. When Lin Yan revealed his Mental Power, it didn't utter a sound and ran away on the spot.

Lin Yan took a step forward.

The five-tailed Tiger Cat let out a low growl, its fur standing on end, and suddenly pounced.

"Roar--"

Lin Yan watched as the Tiger Cat pounced towards him like lightning. He moved his feet and instantly dodged two or three meters to the side. The Que Xie Sword in his hand turned into a cold light and swung upwards at the Tiger Cat's throat. The Tiger Cat lowered its head slightly, Que Xie Sword was blocked by its chin.

Lin Yan drew his longsword, which produced a hissing sound.

But it didn't even scratch the Tiger Cat's fur.

Tiger Cat isn't exactly known for its defense among monsters; in comparison, the scales of the Fire Scale Three-Horned Pig he killed were much tougher.

However, under the S-class throwing knives driven by Mental Power, the scales of the Fire Scale Three-Horned Pig could not provide much protection, and with his martial arts strength High-level General, he could not even break through the fur of the Tiger Cat.

The Tiger Cat opened its blood-red maw and was about to tear it apart.

4 times the physical burst!

Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw the Tiger Cat's movements break down frame by frame. His body easily dodged the Tiger Cat's attacks like Ghost. In the Tiger Cat's next attack, he almost completely gave up on counterattacking and instead constantly adjusted his posture and position according to its attacks.

During this period, he frequently practiced this technique and had completely solidified his movement skills to the Perfect level.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

The sword light was hazy.

Heaven's Choice—

The sword vibrated eighteen times in an instant, and the surrounding air seemed to hum with the enormous force of the sword's vibration.

The sword light, tinged with purple, pierced towards the chest of the five-tailed Tiger Cat.

The Tiger Cat let out an angry growl and used its forelimbs to block the Que Xie Sword.

Sigh

The Que Xie Sword pierced its forelimb, but it was stuck in its muscles and could not move.

With a thought, the scene before Lin Yan vanished, his consciousness returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.

With his current strength High-level General, even if the method of using the Po Jun Sword allows him to unleash four times the power, he is still completely powerless to fight against Lord-level monster.

His ability to persist for so long is entirely due to his dedicated research during this period, which has enabled him to achieve Perfect level movement techniques and reach the Intent level in swordsmanship.

Body techniques are divided into basic, subtle, perfect, and Conception.

The levels of swordsmanship and saber techniques are: foundation, specialization, perfection, and Conception.

After his swordsmanship reached Mastered level, he discovered something: the swordsmanship characteristics given by the system were actually a manifestation of Conception.

Destruction, sharpness, thunder, blindness.

This actually refers to different characteristics of the artistic Conception of swordsmanship.

During this period, Lin Yan integrated these four characteristics and gained a deep understanding of the Conception of swordsmanship.

Lin Yan took a shower and then picked up his phone to check it.

The screen shows one missed call.

Lin Yan smiled when he saw the number, and then dialed it directly. "Why are you calling me at this time today? Don't you usually call me at night?"

"I'm on vacation, hehe."

A girl's happy voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Yan exclaimed, "Your dad is really outrageous; the workload is just too high."

"It's a full three months, almost like a period of seclusion for cultivating immortality."

During this period, Wen Xiuyong's laboratory was busy with a new project, and Wen Zhi'an only had time to take a vacation now.

"What kind of immortal cultivation seclusion?"

"That's always been the case in our line of work; when things get busy, you're completely overwhelmed."

Lin Yan glanced at the sky; it was almost dark, and it was drizzling. "Where are you now? I'll come find you."

Wen Zhi'an asked in surprise, "Now?"

Lin Yan's voice was gentle and warm. "I want to see you."

"Okay." The girl responded softly, then paused for a moment before saying, "Then I'll send you the address."

The call was immediately disconnected.

Less than two seconds later, her contact avatar flashed, sending her current location.

Lin Yan changed his clothes and told Qiu Baihui that he was going out now, as she was supervising Lin Tangtang's homework.

Lin Yan patted Tangtang's head and then walked out.

After starting the vehicle, Lin Yan did not drive directly to the location address sent by Wen Zhi'an, but instead went to a flower shop he had seen before.

What do you need?

The florist was a woman with long hair.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Let me take a look."

After looking around, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a glass display case. "Could you please wrap this up for me?"

It was a bouquet of blue and white Baby's Breath's breath flowers. The white was elegant and clean, while the blue was hazy and graceful, like the twinkling stars in the boundless night sky, delicate and exquisite, fresh and natural.

"OK."

Lin Yan carried the flower arrangement, paid for it, and then drove to Wen Zhi'an's location.

Tianjing Base City, Pinghai District.

When Lin Yan arrived, it was already dark, and the rain was pattering outside. Lin Yan took out his phone and dialed a number, but Wen Zhi'an did not answer and hung up immediately.

He was a little confused when he suddenly saw the girl on the second floor of the villa in front of him jump down from the balcony onto the lawn below. She seemed to move very nimbly. Then he saw her run to the passenger side of the car in the rain.

She opened the car door and got in.

Her hair was slightly damp, and there were still raindrops on her face. Lin Yan noticed that she had put on some light makeup today, and her lips were rosy. She looked at Lin Yan without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to speak volumes.

From the moment he saw her, a slight smile appeared on Lin Yan's face. He couldn't help but smile. He leaned closer to the passenger seat, brought his head close to her, and gently kissed her lips. The fragrance of her body lingered in front of his nose. Wen Zhi'an closed her eyes and did not flinch. They separated after a long time.

The girl's eyes were like the autumn waters at night.

She whispered, "I miss you too."
