Situ Wan'er blinked her beautiful big eyes at Ling Yi, and even tilted her head in a cute way!
Ling Yi thought he was knowledgeable, experienced, and mentally stable, but this head tilt still made him shudder.
How did you figure that out?
Ling Yi's cultivation level was higher than hers, so it wasn't surprising that he could discern her cultivation level.
It's somewhat unbelievable that she could even discern the Dao she had comprehended.
"Is this the path your father chose for you?" Ling Yi countered.
"Yes, Father said that love is the greatest burden; the seven emotions and six desires are the locks on the soul. Only by casting them aside can one see the true path."
Do you think your father is right?
"I don't know, but I have indeed seen many people burdened by social obligations, willing to give up everything, even their lives, for the sake of so-called love. I find it hard to understand!"
Do you have any favorite foods?
Situ Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "Candied hawthorn!"
Ling Yi couldn't help but chuckle. "You think you can walk the Dao of Emotionless? Watch me turn you back in a heartbeat."
"Come on, I'll treat you to candied hawthorns!"
"There are no candied hawthorns in the Land of Chaos. I only ate them once when I was a child in the Southern Yun Nation!"
"I will do it!"
"Real?"
Ling Yi led Situ Wan'er out of the Blood Slaughter Hall.
Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi followed behind, Voice Transmission Spiritual Sense.
"You think you can fool someone with just a candied hawthorn?" Yaoguang said.
"Could it be that Ling Yi has taken a liking to this Situ Wan'er?"
"Hmph, this little girl is the daughter of the Heavenly Baleful Energy Sect Master, she's definitely not a good person. Let's find an opportunity to make her accumulate Merit."
Yuan Ziyi gave Yaoguang a strange look.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"The way Ling Yi looked at Situ Wan'er was shining; I'd never seen Ling Yi look like that before."
"I think Ling Yi must have some kind of scheme. Could it be that he wants to control Situ Hao through Situ Wan'er, and then take control of the Land of Chaos?"
"There is a plan, but this plan may not be the one you think it is."
Yaoguang was inexperienced in matters of the heart and had never experienced love, so naturally she didn't understand these things.
But Yuan Ziyi knew very well that Ling Yi's gaze towards Situ Wan'er was not quite proper.
So, Ling Yi likes girls like this?
However, our Princess Yaoguang isn't bad either, is she? Ling Yi had never given Yaoguang such an improper look.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen and his two companions from the Blood Slaughter Hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Why would Ling Yi appear in the Land of Chaos?" Tianji frowned.
"Is he Ling Yi?" Xiao Chen asked. "I can't see through his cultivation level."
"I have some things to take care of. We'll talk about the trip to Stone City tonight!" After saying that, Meng Po transformed into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared.
"I also need to verify some things!" After saying that, Tianji disappeared with the Seven Stars Steps.
Xiao Chen frowned. "Not going to Stone City? If you guys aren't going, I'll go by myself!"
Xiao Chen had many different ideas about Tianji and the others.
The three of them came together because they were all being hunted by the Northern Yuan and fought together against the enemy. Their relationship could only be described as a cooperative one, not a friendship.
Moreover, both Tianji and Meng Po are too calculating, so it's impossible for the three of them to become friends.
If Xiao Chen hadn't been strong enough, he probably would have been killed by these two women long ago.
After leaving the Blood Slaughter Hall, Xiao Chen turned and headed towards the North City.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already brought Situ Wan'er back to the temporary courtyard.
However, he was carrying a bunch of things in his hands.
Sugar was easy to find; I bought quite a lot of different kinds. But I couldn't find hawthorn berries, though I did find a similar fruit.
It tastes Tiantian and sour, and looks bright red. It's slightly larger than a hawthorn, but its surface is smoother.
It looks a bit like an apple that's been shrunk several sizes.
This thing is called Mouse Fruit, a kind of spiritual fruit containing Genki, a very ordinary kind of spiritual fruit.
According to Situ Wan'er, this is the main ingredient for refining the Longevity Pill.
The effect of the Prolonged Food Pill is roughly similar to the Fasting Pill in cultivation novels.
However, the effect is much worse.
Yanshi Dan, take one pill and you don't need to eat for three days. The key is, this stuff can be completely digested.
In other words, after taking Yanshi Dan, you don't even need to go to the toilet.
However, although this thing is simple to make and belongs to the lowest grade of pills, it is still in short supply.
Most families without an alchemist couldn't afford it.
Once you reach the Dao Comprehension Realm, you can basically abstain from grains.
Does Ling Yi have feelings for Situ Wan'er?
This girl, who almost perfectly matched Ling Yi's Ling Yi standards, naturally attracted his attention.
Having ideas doesn't necessarily mean you'll do them.
Everything should be left to its natural course.
Ling Yi knew very well that he wouldn't stay in this world for very long.
He has already Dao Comprehension Ninth Layer, and is only one major realm away from Void Breaking.
If Ling Yi wanted, he only needed to go to the Haotian Empire, Sharing his cheat ability with the Emperor Haotian, and then he could just wait to Void Breaking Ascension.
Since transmigrating to this world, Ling Yi seems to be quite busy, but in reality, he's been busy doing nothing.
He felt no sense of belonging to this world, nor did he have any ambition to become a king or unify the world.
Many things, I just did them because I wanted to.
Any legitimate time traveler
It is essential to carefully plan every feature that the system Sharing.
For example, if a bottleneck is encountered, the cheat code should be withdrawn to free up the Sharing slot, and a more powerful entity should be chosen to Sharing.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yi now does things on a whim, based on what catches his eye and his mood.
After the Fifty-Fifty System was refreshed, Ling Yi was practically invincible.
Then what?
Of course, it's about living freely and doing whatever you want.
Am I to repeat my past life, becoming Reckless Man, constantly fighting and killing?
Isn't that bullying?
As for Situ Wan'er, Ling Yi was mainly using her as a test.
Ling Yi always felt that his way of earning Karmic Luck Points seemed to have gone astray.
Is it true that one can only gain Karmic Luck Points through killing?
Is there no other way?
Ling Yi felt there should still be some.
For example, increasing or decreasing the target's Karmic Luck Star Grade.
Can this thing be raised or lowered?
Unsure, Ling Yi decided to give it a try.
Whether it works out or not is irrelevant.
It's just a test, something to Passing Time.
Making candied hawthorn berries isn't difficult, but making them delicious is not.
About half an hour later, the first batch of candied hawthorns was ready.
The taste was mediocre; it was too sour, and the sweetness of the fruit was gone, leaving only the sweetness of sugar.
The key issue is that it's not crispy at all.
The second batch of Ling Yi used a different type of sugar, and it finally tasted a bit better, kind of like the original.
However, the taste of candied hawthorn that Ling Yi was familiar with was different from the taste of candied hawthorn that Situ Wan'er was familiar with.
Situ Wan'er actually preferred the taste of the first pot.
Or rather, the first batch of flawed food that Ling Yi made was the taste of Situ Wan'er's childhood.
To put it bluntly, whether it tastes good or not is not important; what matters is the taste in one's memory.
Ling Yi and Yaoguang Guang naturally preferred the second batch of candied hawthorns, which tasted even better.
During this process, Ling Yi didn't say or do much.
It was as if he had simply made a candied hawthorn for Situ Wan'er.
Not only Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi sensed something was wrong, but even Situ Wan'er herself felt something was amiss.
Situ Wan'er actually shared similar thoughts with Yaoguang, believing that Ling Yi must have ulterior motives.
"You like girls like this?" Yaoguang asked Ling Yi after Situ Wan'er left.
Women will only slow me down the speed at which I draw my sword!
"You don't like women?"
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not very patient, I'm lazy, and I hate trouble, but I never said I don't like women."
"Troublesome? How could it be troublesome?"
Ling Yi didn't want to explain further on this issue; if he did, he would be labeled a scumbag.
He immediately changed the subject, asking, "What stage have you reached in your cultivation? Have you found your own path?"
Upon hearing Ling Yi say this, both Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi looked somewhat dejected.
They understood the Dao, and they themselves had gained some understanding of it.
But understanding is one thing; finding your own path is another.
Some people see rivers and understand the Water Dao; others sense the wind and understand the Wind Dao; and some can also Dao Comprehension by seeing thunder, fire, snow, or ice.
All things in heaven and earth are the Dao, or rather, the Dao manifests all things.
Dao Comprehension is not only about Goten, but also a process of understanding oneself.
Why is it said that borrowed principles are difficult to Void Breaking?
Because the path borrowed is ultimately someone else's path, it lacks the process of self-realization.
"I don't even know what path I'm pursuing," Yaoguang said helplessly.
"I used to think I was pursuing Martial Dao, but now I realize that's not it. It seems I don't have much of Obsession for Martial Dao."
"Then don't overthink it. Being too Obsession can easily breed inner demons. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow, maybe we'll have an epiphany about our own path at some point."
"Where to?" Yaoguang asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Go to Heavenly Baleful Energy City, meet Situ Hao, the mastermind behind this Land of Chaos, and then go to the Haotian Empire!"
"Alright!" Yaoguang had no objections to Ling Yi's plan.
Yuan Ziyi then asked, "What about Lin Bei in Water City? Are we just going to ignore him?"
"The seed has been planted; now it's up to him to develop it."
Lin Bei's rise is inevitable, and it's not impossible that he will eventually control the Land of Chaos or even the entire Haotian Domain.
Compared to Xiao Chen, Ling Yi has higher expectations for Lin Bei's future development.
Both players have their own Sharing cheat codes, and in terms of potential, they are about the same.
Is Devouring Evolution easier than Infinite Treasure Refining?
Is it really easier?
What does "infinite Infinite Treasure Refining" Infinite Treasure Refining? It means that not only is there no upper limit to the grade of the Yuan Artifact, but there is also no limit to the raw materials.
The Infinite Treasure Refining only stipulates that living and inanimate objects cannot be combined, but it does not say that living and inanimate objects cannot be refined into treasures.
It didn't say that you absolutely need refining materials to refine treasures.
A handful of soil, a Shitou, a leaf—all can be used to refine treasures.
However, Xiao Chen and his friends were influenced by preconceived notions, and their imaginations hadn't yet taken off.
To give a simple example, What If...? we use a piece of iron and a Demonic Beast as materials for automatic treasure refining.
The resulting Yuan Artifact, regardless of its grade, will undoubtedly be an Yuan Artifact imbued with sentience.
If we take our imaginations even further, we could create humanoid puppets, synthesize Infinite Synthesis, and upgrade their ranks.
It is entirely possible to create an invincible puppet comparable to Divine Venerable.
As long as you have a wild imagination, even the Heavenly Dao will call you boss.
However, Xiao Chen seemed a bit more rigid compared to Lin Bei.
Look at Lin Bei, he's even learned gene combination and is creating new life structures on his own.
