Secluded Cultivation, Marrow Cleansing Perfection!
The slightly worn gate of the Shi Family mansion slowly opened, and Shi Qing's figure appeared in front of it.
"Qing'er, you're back!" Uncle Shi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw his daughter and a trace of relief appeared on his aged face, but it was quickly replaced by worry. He keenly noticed the lingering solemnity between his daughter's brows.
"Father," Shi Qing said calmly, but with an unusually firm look in his eyes, "I'm going into seclusion!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Shi was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his cloudy eyes. "Seclusion? Qing'er, you... have you thought it through?"
He knew that his daughter's seclusion this time was probably not just for improving her cultivation level.
"Yes!" Shi Qing nodded heavily, and the scene of Dongfang Yueming confronting the Grandmaster to protect her in the Earth Spirit Sect involuntarily surfaced in her mind, as well as the deep sense of powerlessness she felt, which she could only watch helplessly.
"I don't want to go through that feeling again... of being able to watch and do nothing!" She didn't say it aloud, but her determined eyes said it all.
Looking at the unprecedented resolve in his daughter's eyes, Uncle Shi understood, and a long sigh escaped his lips.
"Foolish child..." He paused, then continued, "Very well. Although our Shi Family has declined, we still retain some connections in the Central Continent. I can use these connections to pave the way for you and lend you a helping hand. However... you must be prepared. The Central Continent is teeming with powerful figures and numerous sects. With your current status in the Shi Family, you'll likely face no shortage of disdain and exclusion there."
"I'm not afraid!" Shi Qing said firmly, without the slightest hesitation.
"Qing'er..." Uncle Shi looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of heartache and reluctance. "Is it really necessary... to go to this extent for that boy?"
Shi Qing's body trembled slightly, but she did not avoid her father's gaze. Instead, she said more firmly, "Father, this is not only for him, but also for myself, and for our Shi Family!"
Seeing the burning flame in his daughter's eyes, Uncle Shi knew that further persuasion would be futile. He sighed again, finally nodding, his eyes filled with determination. "Very well! Since your mind is made up, your father... will help you! I only hope that you can truly carve out a future for yourself!"
Inside the quiet room, time seemed to lose its meaning. Dongfang Yueming was completely immersed in his cultivation, oblivious to the noise and bustle of the outside world.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he opened his eyes again, a glint of light One Flash in them. After sixteen days and nights of accumulation, the points on the panel were already considerable.

He picked up the jade slip again and continued browsing the remaining contents.
Panel Update: [Heavenly Water Blood Replacement Method (0/120, Entry)]!
The Blood Replacement Realm! The final stage of Body Tempering! It's right before our eyes!
At this moment, deep within the Martial Dao Academy, in an elegantly furnished quiet room, the tightly closed stone door slowly opened.
Lin Qingyao, dressed in a simple white dress, gracefully walked out. Her aura was extremely restrained, but the occasional glint in her eyes seemed to contain a sharp edge capable of tearing through the Xukong! After this period of seclusion, she had actually cultivated the Tendon Transformation Realm to the ultimate Perfection that mortals in this world could achieve!
The old woman standing outside the door looked on with surprise, but more so with confusion. "Miss, why are you doing this? With your status, why do you need to hone your mundane Martial Dao so painstakingly in such a remote place?"
