He devoted himself entirely to Cultivation Incarnation Great Thousand.
For ten years, he remained in a state of sudden enlightenment, his comprehension extraordinary.
Divine Ability Incarnation Great Thousand had already reached a modest level of mastery.
When he opened his eyes, the joy in his heart showed plainly on his face.
He looked up and cupped his hands toward Xuandan in thanks.
"Thank you for the pills, Junior Brother. They helped me achieve this divine ability!"
Wait, no—why was Junior Brother using a Memory Stone?
Tsk... Why did I have to say that?
And when had Junior Brother gotten so tall?
Huanglong lowered his head and reached out, instantly dumbstruck.
His chubby little hands were enough to tell him exactly what had happened.
The smile never left Xuandan's face.
Huanglong, his Senior Brother standing before him, had transformed into Loli form.
His skin was fair as thousand-year-old ice crystals, and his adorably clueless expression made people want to give him a good rub.
Especially the pair of smooth, supple dragon horns on his head, still looking rather young.
They added another touch of endearing cuteness.
Xuandan stared at Huanglong's adorable expression, then thought of what Huanglong had looked like before transforming...
"Junior Brother, what're you laughing at?"
Xuandan burst out laughing, then hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "It's nothing. I just thought of something that made me happy."
"Huh?"
Huanglong tilted his head in confusion, then realized something was wrong with his state. His face flushed red in an instant, and he quickly covered his mouth.
What was going on? Even the way he spoke had changed to sound like a loli?
Xuandan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. The air was filled with merriment.
Thump!
Huanglong suddenly slumped to the ground, on the verge of tears.
"I was so foolish, truly..."
"I knew pills could make people turn into lolis, but I forgot that once you turned into a loli, the way you spoke would change too."
Those short little legs, though, were almost too funny to look at.
Huanglong lifted his face and gazed imploringly at Xuandan.
"Junior Brother, Kunlun Mountain is full of people. I'm begging you here."
"Could you please not tell anyone?"
Xuandan suppressed his laughter, put the Memory Stone he'd recorded into his storage space, and answered with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. This is our little secret."
Huanglong's anxiety eased. Then, using both his hands and feet, he scrambled back up.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now."
With that, he didn't even wait for Xuandan to respond before fleeing Xuan Dan's Mansion.
On the way, he kept ducking out of sight, terrified that anyone might catch a glimpse of him.
Back in his cave, Huanglong planted his hands on his hips, no longer looking dispirited at all.
"Hahaha! As expected, pills matter more than dignity!"
"I just have to meditate in seclusion until the side effects wear off!"
"Huanglong, you really are so clever!"
He seemed to notice his current state, and his old face instantly turned red.
He coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.
Then he sat cross-legged and continued digesting his insights into the divine ability.
Meanwhile, Xuandan put the Memory Stone into his storage ring.
There were now three Memory Stones inside.
He called this storage ring his collection.
Xuandan calculated the time, his brows drawing together slightly.
"Even refining pills for so long has somehow drawn out the growth of my cultivation."
"I have a hundred thousand years' worth of cultivation in System Space."
"Why not seize this final stretch of time and break through to the Mysterious Immortal realm in one go?"
Xuandan put away the Four Symbols Cauldron and continued cultivating the Supreme Purity Golden Core Technique.
The boost to his comprehension from the earlier reward now began to show its effects.
He absorbed denser Spiritual Energy, and his cultivation speed increased.
At the same time, he began to understand the parts of the technique that had once been obscure and difficult to grasp.
Time passed swiftly. Many Xuan Sect disciples secretly began reselling Memory Stones.
They called the recording "Honest Loli Senior Brother."
Many disciples who watched it couldn't help marveling.
When Huanglong heard the news, he patted his chest and beamed.
"Hehe, thank goodness I'm clever. My comprehension might usually be poor, but I'm actually incredibly quick-witted!"
As he congratulated himself, a bell rang out, striking directly at his soul.
The voice of Primordial Lord of Heaven sounded in the minds of all Chan Sect Disciples.
"Come to Jade Void Palace at once to have your cultivation assessed. Do not delay."
Huanglong's chubby little face instantly went pale, and he hurriedly paced back and forth on his short legs.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no..."
"Master is assessing our cultivation. I can't skip it, or I'll get scolded."
"But what am I supposed to do in this state?"
He tried every possible way to change his form.
Unfortunately, all his efforts came to nothing.
By now, only Huanglong had yet to arrive at Jade Void Palace.
Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression instantly darkened.
"That rebellious disciple. Now he won't even bother to show up..."
Before he could finish speaking, a childish voice rang out from outside Jade Void Palace.
"Master, Master, I'm here!"
The childish voice echoed through the empty Jade Void Palace.
It drew the attention of every Chan Sect Disciple.
The Dragon Horned Loli's face flushed red in an instant.
But inside Jade Void Palace, no one was allowed to use magic without Primordial Lord of Heaven's permission.
He could only hurry forward on his two short legs.
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi exchanged glances.
They both smiled in unison.
The other disciples' expressions were much the same.
If they hadn't been in Jade Void Palace,
they would have used Memory Stones to preserve this precious moment.
Earlier, San Xiao had easily attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit with the help of Tianxin Pills.
As a result, Tianxin Pills had become the object of envy for countless Xuan Sect disciples.
But because of the socially mortifying side effect of turning into a loli,
not a single male immortal present dared to step forward and sacrifice his dignity to take a pill.
No one had expected that the first to take that step would be one of their own.
Loli Huanglong's face was bright red. He kept his head lowered and stammered without saying a word.
Primordial Lord of Heaven's brows lifted slightly as he raised a hand to calculate.
The Supreme Sage had learned the whole story in just a few breaths.
He studied Huanglong's bashful, adorable appearance and couldn't help smiling.
But then he coughed twice, and his expression turned stern again.
Huanglong, trembling as he expected to be scolded, sneaked a glance at Primordial Lord of Heaven.
Oh no! Master seemed angry!
Primordial Lord of Heaven put on a stern face and scolded him.
