After Ju Yunxiu left, the cave became much quieter. Mainly because Qing Cha had run off with her...

No one is farming or singing anymore, no one is guarding the Pill Furnace and getting blown up like a cat, and no one is being tricked by Liusu into barking like a dog.

With her hands clasped together, Liusu gazed into the distance, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "The only source of joy in your life is gone..."

It wasn't even as intense as the sadness Qin Yi felt when he was separated from his sister.

Qin Yi was speechless. "When you first woke up, you were complaining that we were too relaxed, but what about you? You were having more fun than anyone else... Yesterday, when Qing Jun was going to practice her martial arts, who dragged her to play cards?"

Liusu said matter-of-factly, "I can't recover by practicing cultivation to death; I need to go out and find medicine."

"Yes, yes, you can't stop taking your medicine." Qin Yi pinched it and shoved a pill into its mouth. "This is for calming the mind, take it and go rest."

Liusu blinked. "The Forgetful Soul Heaven Pill?"

"As expected, it's Bangbang, she recognized it."

"This is more than just nourishing the spirit; it's for forging the spirit with the essence of Qian Yuan! You actually managed to refine this kind of pill yourself?" Liusu was very surprised. "Who taught you this Pill Formula?"

"I read it in the ancient books of the Myriad Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace," Qin Yi said matter-of-factly. "Anyway, you'll teach me how to refine regular pills, so I only look for those that might be useful to you."

Liusu paused, staring at him without saying a word.

Qin Yi poked it twice with his finger. "What are you spacing out for? Did you catch the Qing Cha' syndrome?"

"Pah!" Liusu out of her daze and laughed, "Your Senior Sister's gone, how much longer can you stay here?"

"Qing Jun and I have agreed to go out from the third level of Huiyang. We need to get moving to reach the fourth level, this mid-stage hurdle. If we don't gain some experience and just sit there passively, even with help from a sect, it won't be enough."

"Actually, everyone's cultivation requires a combination of activity and stillness. The kind of person you're imagining as someone who's truly in seclusion doesn't exist." Liusu sighed. "Do you even know what other people mean by 'pure, solitary sitting'?"

"What?"

"Others break through from the first to the second level, and then leave the seclusion. At most, they try up to the third level." Liusu said speechlessly, "I've never seen any madman come in from the seventh level of Tengyun and come out from the third level of Huiyang..."

"I've seen them now." Qin Yi clenched his fist. "When I get out, I'll scare them to death!"

Liusu really thought that others would be terrified.

Although it seems like they've been here for many, many years, it's actually quite normal for a cultivator to be in seclusion.

Just like when Xuan Hao Zhenren went into seclusion to absorb the cultivation of Monk Cheng Yuan and break through the Qianyuan Pass, this seclusion could easily last for ten years, which is perfectly normal.

What takes others the time to clear one level, this guy cleared six, including one of the Shining Sun Pass... This kind of discrepancy in information could be disastrous for many people.

However, Qin Yi's decision to leave after only three levels was not something that could be done immediately, because the cultivation after Huiyang was indeed much more difficult than Tengyun, requiring a much larger amount of energy.

Fortunately, Qin Yi and Li Qingjun were at the same level in cultivation, and the effect of dual cultivation was always very good. Their breakthroughs were often carried out together, which saved a lot of time.

"Boom!"

A dazzling light erupted from the cave abode next to them. Qin Yi quickly turned around and saw Li Qingjun slowly emerging from the light, carrying a long spear. The scene was incredibly cool.

Qin Yi was relieved and smiled, "Qing Jun, you're getting more and more handsome."

Li Qingjun laughed and said, "This is the path of Martial Cultivation. It's all about killing and fighting. I just hope you don't think I'm becoming more and more like a tomboy."

"Don't mention it." Qin Yi hugged her and laughed, "I like you just the way you are."

Li Qingjun felt a little happy and leaned against him silently.

The Liusu trembled, and my teeth ached.

It suddenly gave it a feeling of Dream Return to many years ago, watching this couple fall in love in the Nanli King. Back then, they were so innocent and sweet, but now they were shamelessly flaunting their relationship, making people feel a little envious.

The former is an orange, and the latter is a trifoliate orange; they are both lemons.

However, looking at this couple, Liusu felt the most comfortable. Perhaps it was because of her first impression. They hadn't changed back then, and they were the same now. That was nice.

Liusu didn't know why she thought that way.

Li Qingjun looked around, her expression beaming with joy. "Qin Yi, now wouldn't we be considered... inseparable?"

Liusu pointed to herself and was about to speak when Qin Yi shoved it back into the ring and said seriously, "Of course it counts."

Liusu:"..."

Damn, I just thought you two were the most comfortable couple. I must have been blind.

Qin Yi asked, "What kind of sword technique did you master that was so flashy just now?"

"Yes, I have completed the creation of my Overturning Sea Divine Sword."

They, the Sword Cultivator of Penglai, have additional insights into the sword path and sword skills to cultivate, unlike Qin Yi who has only mastered one move, the Drilling Cave Divine Staff, which is a disgrace.

Qin Yi didn't feel ashamed at all, and laughed, "This isn't a sword anymore, it should be called the Overturning Sea Divine Spear."

Li Qingjun smiled and said, "In the end, it's Sword Intent. As for spear techniques, my Senior Sister once gave me a copy of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Soul-Chasing Spear, which is somewhat unorthodox and extremely powerful, but I was unable to master it. It may require some killing skills."

"Hmm... we can talk about this outside."

"Qin Yi, do you want to learn these sword principles? I'll teach you; it's very simple."

"Your sect has no objections?"

"I won't talk about the secrets of our sect, I'll just share some common insights. Although your blunt weapon is different from our sharp weapon, there are still some things we can do together."

"No need for this." Qin Yi knew that Liusu's knowledge of such common-sense matters was even more impressive than that of the Pavilion Master of the Penglai Sword Pavilion. However, he was still very happy that Li Qingjun had such a kind intention, so he picked her up and carried her to the cave abode with the large bed.

Li Qingjun was taken aback. "What are you doing now...?"

"I also have some unique skills," Qin Yi said seriously. "For example, I currently have a move called the Trampling Sea Divine Staff. I wonder how it compares to your esteemed Pavilion's Overturning Sea Divine Sword? Please enlighten me, heroine."

Li Qingjun was both amused and exasperated, but of course she wouldn't refuse. Her lover should be genuinely happy to be able to cultivate with her, especially since they needed to rely on dual cultivation to break through their limits.

Liusu angrily went to sleep.

Who knows how long this pair of adulterers will live happily ever after? At this moment, Liusu is very glad that it was sleeping during the time when it had one dragon and two phoenixes, so that it was not angered to death.

But to Liusu's surprise, this period didn't last long.

About ten days later, after a period of great harmony in life, Qin Yi Li Qingjun both reached the second level of the Huiyang Guifu stage. The two gently embraced each other, enjoying the afterglow of the breakthrough.

A soft halo of light lingered around the two of them, fading into their bodies and returning to calm.

The aftertaste was much stronger than that of mere sex; it lasted much longer than that of Sage Time.

After a long while, Li Qingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Qin Yi... has finally broken through."

"Hmm... at this stage, breaking through is becoming increasingly difficult." Qin Yi sighed, "It took as long to go from the eighth to the ninth level of the Cloud Ascension Realm as it did to go from the first to the second level of the Sunrise Realm."

Li Qingjun hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally wanted to ask you if you've been feeling uneasy lately. But because the Huiyang stage was difficult to cross, I was afraid it would affect your cultivation, so I didn't dare say much. Now that you've broken through to the second level, it's considered a done deal. Shouldn't we be able to discuss it now?"

Qin Yi was taken aback. In truth, he had always had the Unseen feeling that something was happening outside. It might not be related to him, but it was certainly important; this was guidance from the Immortal Dao.

If even Li Qingjun has this feeling, it further proves this point.

Having cultivated to such a radiant level in the Immortal Dao of Immortality, such intuition is simply a given. It's a shame they haven't studied divination; otherwise, with such a clear intuition, someone with divination skills would have been able to calculate it more accurately. However, including Liusu, none of them knew how.

"Since that's the case..." Qin Yi thought for a while and made a decision, "We won't wait for the third level of Huiyang. We don't know how long that will take, and by then it will be too late. Let's make preparations and leave the seclusion in the next few days to see what kind of changes this new world has brought."
