Line Up, One at a Time!

After Xiao Hongyi left, Li Si also sat up. He could sense a Gu worm in his body and tried to kill it with his Core Qi power, but as soon as he made a move, he was in excruciating pain.

At the same time, a voice came, "Don't even think about killing the Gu worm inside you. That's the Hehuan Gu Worm, a offspring of the Hehuan Gu Worm within me. It's already connected to your life. Killing it is the same as killing yourself. Unless your cultivation level far surpasses that of the Hehuan Gu Hehuan Gu Worm, at least two major realms higher, you won't be able to break free from Hehuan Gu Worm control."

The speaker was Xiao Hongyi. Li Si wanted to kill the Hehuan Gu Worm, and even though Xiao Hongyi wasn't here, she could naturally sense it.

Li Si stopped making moves, knowing that he couldn't break free from the control of the Hehuan Gu Worm for the time being. The Hehuan Gu Worm was a ninth-order Gu worm, and his cultivation would have to break through to the Saint Realm before he could get rid of Hehuan Gu Worm; otherwise, he would be controlled by the Hehuan Gu Worm.

Of course, he wasn't worried. Being used as a furnace by Xiao Hongyi for nourishment wouldn't weaken him; on the contrary, it was like he was cultivating rapidly. His cultivation in the past two days was comparable to a month of hard training, and his cultivation was about to break through to the Third Layer of the Golden Body Realm.

"This woman isn't restricting me; isn't she afraid I'll send messages to the forces behind me?"

Li Si tried to send a message, but found that it was unsuccessful.

"This place is unusual; it's impossible to send messages to the outside world." Li Si frowned.

Fortunately, the situation isn't bad right now. He's comfortable and can even use her to cultivate. This woman thought she would be drained of her essence and was unaware that she possessed the Reverse Calamity Devil Physique. Her essence-draining Cultivation Method, combined with the Hehuan Gu Worm, was meant to control her, but it actually brought her benefits instead.

However, his Reverse Calamity Devil Physique only reverses the effects on Cultivation Method and martial arts. But when the Hehuan Gu Worm controls him, there is no way to reverse it. It's like when an enemy wants to kill him; once he's killed, he's really dead, and there's no way to reverse life and death.

Two more days passed, and Xiao Hongyi came again. Li Si did not resist, which made Xiao Hongyi think that Li Si was quite good, at least he would cooperate with her.

Two days later, Li Si was still full of energy, but Xiao Hongyi couldn't hold on any longer. She was exhausted and went into seclusion to cultivate and rest.

And so, day by day, Li Si's situation became known to the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect.

Half a month later, Chen Xiaoyue, an elder of the Hehuan Sect at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the King Conferment Realm, took advantage of Xiao Hongyi's absence and inability to return for at least several days, and came directly to Li Si's place.

Just as Li Si was about to ask who this elder was, the elder pounced on him. He tried to fight back, but the difference in strength was too great, and he couldn't resist.

Moreover, he saw that the elder's purpose was the same as Xiao Hongyi's, so he did not refuse. The elder even thoughtfully activated a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure to cover the room and isolate it from all disturbances.

Two days later, even the elder couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing Li Si still looking so energetic, she was utterly shocked. "What level of furnace is this? He's not weakening at all! If I continue to enjoy such a furnace, wouldn't my cultivation level increase dramatically?"

Chen Xiaoyue was tempted and wished she could snatch the furnace from Xiao Hongyi immediately, but she also knew that Li Si was controlled by Xiao Hongyi's Hehuan Gu Worm, so there was no point in her taking it now.

Immediately, Chen Xiaoyue clutched her waist and flew away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to be drained of his energy, Li Si broke through his cultivation level and reached the Third Layer of the Golden Body Realm.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Disciple Li Si's cultivation has broken through to the Third Layer of the Golden Body Realm. The host has received ten times the feedback, and his cultivation has improved."

Lin Ye was somewhat surprised to see the system notification, because Li Si's cultivation breakthrough had been much faster this time. Could it be that he had encountered another fortuitous fortuitous opportunity?

Immediately, he sent a message to Li Si, asking where Li Si was.

However, quite some time passed, and Li Si did not reply.

Several more days passed, and he sent messages to Li Si for a long time, but Li Si did not respond at all.

"It seems Li Si went to a special treasure land, a place where communication is cut off. What kind of treasure land could it be that allowed him to cultivate and improve so quickly? When he returns, I'll send the other disciples there too. Perhaps it will greatly improve their cultivation levels, and then my cultivation will improve even faster."

Lin Ye didn't go looking for Li Si. After all, he didn't know where Li Si was, but Li Si's cultivation was still breaking through, so he was obviously not in any danger. If he really wanted to go to Li Si, he could do it by paying a certain price, but there was no need for it!

He would only do this if Li Si was in danger.

Some more days passed.

Li Si's cultivation has broken through to the Fifth Layer the Golden Body Realm, and now six elders from the Hehuan Sect have visited him, and Xiao Hongyi is still unaware of this.

This day.

Xiao Hongyi frowned because the sect had assigned her another task. She had been taking on many more tasks than before these days, which she found strange.

So this time, after accepting the mission, she didn't do it but returned very quickly.

When she returned to her residence, she found that it was blocked by a barrier.

At this moment, she knew perfectly well that someone had taken advantage of her absence to use her cauldron Li Si.

"Get out here!"

Xiao Hongyi was furious and attacked the barrier in a rage. The barrier quickly shattered, and she saw the people inside. Besides her own cauldron, Li Si, there was another person—it was...

"Metropolitan!"

Xiao Hongyi's anger vanished instantly, and she quickly and respectfully said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Li Si was also stunned. This woman was actually the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect. He had thought she was an elder!

Huang Shan, the Hehuan Sect, was extremely embarrassed. As the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, how embarrassing would it be if the news got out that she had come to steal the Holy Maiden's furnace cauldron!

"Holy Maiden, I'm just here to check your physique as a furnace vessel," Huang Shan explained.

Although Xiao Hongyi was furious, she dared not say anything.

"Everyone, let's go to the sect's main hall!"

Huang Shan said.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Xiao Hongyi led Li Si to the main hall of the Hehuan Sect. Many elders were there, and even a few Saint Realm.

Li Si glanced around and saw several familiar faces, but they all avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him.

Huang Shan coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Holy Maiden, your physique as a furnace vessel is quite special. I won't waste any more words; such a furnace vessel should be offered to the sect."

"Impossible!"

Xiao Hongyi was furious. Why should the sect get the furnace cauldron she had finally managed to capture?

Huang Shan said, "Holy Maiden, you must know that this man's identity is definitely not simple. If it weren't for the sect's special position, he would have been discovered long ago. If the sect didn't protect you, could you have kept this furnace cauldron?"

Xiao Hongyi remained silent, while Huang Shan continued, "This kind of furnace won't weaken you, and you can use it for multiple times without any problems. If you offer it to the sect, you can also use it to cultivate, and the strength of many elders in the sect will also be greatly improved, which will benefit the entire sect. If you agree, the sect's top-tier Sacred Body cultivation method— the Seven-Colored Sacred Physique —can be passed on to you."

Seven-Colored Sacred Physique!

This is a sacred body cultivation method that only sects or supreme elders can practice, and it can forge Seven-Colored Sacred Physique.

She wasn't the only Holy Maiden of the sect. Now that the sect leader had made such a concession, she knew that if she refused, she would be going against the sect.

So Xiao Hongyi agreed.

At this moment, Li Si was the happiest, knowing that his opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation had arrived.
