I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

6: When did breaking through realms become so easy?At the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Entry Stele, dozens of Outer Sect Disciples were gathered.

”Senior Brother Li, that little girl really pledged allegiance to the Ninth Mountain!” an Outer Sect Disciple asked incredulously.

*Clap*!

Long Stick Li knocked him on the head with a chestnut, saying sternly, ”What little girl? Call her Senior Sister Xiao from now on!”

”Hiss... oh oh oh,” the Disciple clutched his aching head, but his eyes were filled with shock.

Senior Brother Shen actually took a Junior Sister!

If this news gets out, the Chief Disciples of the other mountains will surely be astonished!

The other Disciples were also whispering amongst themselves, their faces full of disbelief.

”Such a Breakthrough speed, she really is a little Prodigy. No wonder Senior Brother Shen decided to take her in...” Long Stick Li stood beside the stele, looking at the figure that had already disappeared, secretly clicking his tongue.

Just a moment ago, even he was shocked.

First, he was surprised that she could pledge allegiance to the Ninth Mountain, and second, he personally witnessed Xiao Qinger instantly break through two Realms after taking the Condensing Origin Pill!

This innate talent speaks for itself!

Given time, the Ninth Mountain might produce another Cultivation Genius no weaker than Senior Brother Shen.

Thinking of this, Long Stick Li showed a slight smile. The Heavenly Sword Sect currently has few Disciples, and seeing a Genius rise made him happy from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time.

A hundred miles outside the Heavenly Sword Sect, in an ancient forest.

[Ding, due to your involvement, the fated female protagonist Junior Sister immediately broke through to the second layer of Qi Condensation after receiving the Sect’s Medicinal Pills. Reward: 20 preaching value.]

”So fast. It seems it’s because of her previous drop in Realm. Now that she has resources and guidance from an old man, it’s quite normal...” Shen Nian immediately recalled the description of her Realm drop.

”Senior Brother!” Xiao Qinger stepped forward, cupped her hands respectfully, and then placed several bottles of Medicinal Pills in front of her. Following this, a wisp of her sixth-layer Qi Condensation aura involuntarily spread out.

She didn’t know why, but when she was a waste previously and was subjected to ridicule by many people, she didn’t care at all.

Yet, specifically when facing the Great Master Senior Brother, she desperately wanted to prove herself: I truly am a Genius; I won’t hold you back!

”Mm.” Shen Nian glanced at Xiao Qinger, and seeing a hint of anticipation in her beautiful eyes, he couldn’t help but smile.

Heh heh.

So, this little lass came here to show off to me?

”You broke through?” Shen Nian asked casually, pretending not to know, while simultaneously activating the System’s Simulation in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he directly swallowed a bottle of nourishing origin pills, holding them in his mouth.

Since he was already in the Golden Core Stage, he might as well push straight to the Peak in one go, and then figure out how to Upgrade the Core.

This scene left Xiao Qinger somewhat dumbfounded.

What is Senior Brother eating?

Shen Nian paid no attention to what she was thinking, focusing instead on listening to the System’s simulation sound.

[Simulation begins]

[Year One: You continue absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and start improving your Golden Core. This time, after consuming a bottle of nourishing origin pills, your speed increased slightly...]

It really works!

Shen Nian was startled. He had previously guessed that if the simulation referred to his real Cultivation, then Medicinal Pills should provide assistance!

It was exactly as he thought!

It’s just that the effect of the nourishing origin pill is too weak... [Simulation continues]

[Year Ten: You found a slight barrier and successfully broke through it, stepping into the Middle Stage of the Golden Core Stage. However, you were not very happy, because this was merely the speed a Genius should possess.]

[Year Twenty: You unexpectedly stepped into the Late Golden Core Stage, but you grew increasingly worried, only because your Golden Core was not perfect. If you Form a Nascent Soul, there would be no possibility of supplementing your Foundation, so your proud self chose to stop Cultivating...]

...

”Am I really that proud?”

”Why didn’t I know that!”

Shen Nian was speechless, but he was still very satisfied feeling the profound and boundless Spiritual Power within his body.

He was now getting closer and closer to the strength of the Great Demon Cang Lang; counter-killing was imminent!

Xiao Qinger smiled happily and replied, ”Mm, with good luck, I broke through to the sixth layer of Qi Condensation.”

Heh heh.

Breaking through two Realms in one day, even if it involved some external factors, should still count as outstanding, right?

”Average. You still need to work harder,” Shen Nian replied casually.

...

”Yes, Senior Brother,” Xiao Qinger replied calmly, though she couldn’t help but feel a little deflated inside.

”Hmph, don’t overthink it. Your Senior Brother’s Realm isn’t high, but his standards are. Breaking through two layers in one day is fast enough. His Cultivation speed definitely won’t match yours. Once your Divine Physique awakens, surpassing him will be effortless!” the Female Yan Emperor comforted her.

Hearing this, Xiao Qinger’s eyes sparkled, and she clenched her jade fists.

The next second.

Shen Nian lowered his eyes to look at the bottles of Medicinal Pills in front of him, waved his large hand, and only took one bottle, leaving the rest where they were.

The reason he didn’t give everything to Xiao Qinger was simply that he wanted to verify another hypothesis he had in mind.

If it didn’t hold true.

He wouldn’t mind giving all these resources to Xiao Qinger.

”Keep these nourishing origin pills. They can be used during the Qi Condensation stage, and their effect is ten times that of the Condensing Origin Pill.”

”Ah, Senior Brother, isn’t this... a bit too wasteful?” Xiao Qinger was a little flustered. She hadn’t expected her Senior Brother to be so generous.

These are nourishing origin pills!

Coming from the Xiao Family, she naturally had heard the great name of this Medicinal Pill. It was specifically refined for Foundation Establishment Cultivators. When she went to collect resources, she had already seen her Senior Brother’s Realm—he had just reached Half-step Golden Core ten days ago... Shen Nian ignored her, stood up, and brushed the dust off his clothes.

Xiao Qinger looked at the nourishing origin pills in front of her and said somewhat awkwardly, ”Senior Brother, actually, the Condensing Origin Pill is enough for Qinger.”

”If I tell you to take it, then take it.” Shen Nian glanced at Xiao Qinger, thought for a moment, and added, ”These nourishing origin pills are no longer very useful to me.”

”Ah!” Xiao Qinger was stunned.

What does Senior Brother mean by this?

However, Xiao Qinger silently accepted them, and the Female Yan Emperor’s voice rang out in her ear again.

”With this bottle of nourishing origin pills, your Realm advancement speed can increase significantly. If only your current Realm wasn’t so low that absorption is slow... it would be best to immediately find Phoenix-type essence blood to Awaken your Physique; that would solve this problem.”

”Heh, by then, it’s hard to say who will be holding whom back.”

Boom!

A burst of Late Golden Core Stage Spiritual Pressure instantly spread out, causing the surrounding trees to tremble violently. Xiao Qinger’s face immediately turned pale.

What terrifying aura!

”Just now, I felt a sudden inspiration and stepped into the Late Golden Core Stage in one go. If there’s nothing else, let’s go.” Shen Nian said softly, clasping his hands behind his back and walking forward.

Silence!

Speechless!

”Stepped into the Late Golden Core Stage in one go...” Xiao Qinger swallowed hard. Since when did breaking through Realms become so easy?

As simple as eating and drinking water?

Senior Brother transitioned from Half-step Golden Core to the Late Golden Core Stage in such a short time and remained so calm!

I only broke through two layers yet dared to show off in front of him.

I... how utterly embarrassing!

Compared to Senior Brother’s talent, I really am... Xiao Qinger’s cheeks were flushed crimson, and she desperately wanted to find a hole to crawl into, quickly following the white-robed figure.

Meanwhile, the Remnant Soul of the Female Yan Emperor within her fell completely silent.

”How could this be...”

”So fast...”

”That aura is undeniably Late Golden Core Stage...”

”But when did breaking through Realms become so simple?”

”Did he obtain some Heaven and Earth Wonder?”

”Highly likely!”

Night was deep, and the bright moon hung high.

In the deep forest, already outside the Heavenly Sword Sect’s boundaries.

*Sizzle*!

A wisp of flame suddenly ignited in the ancient forest, like the break of dawn.

”Senior Brother, where are we going?” Xiao Qinger sat cross-legged beside the campfire, stopping her Cultivation, and couldn’t help but ask.

After half a day of ordinariness, Xiao Qinger temporarily recognized the gap between herself and her Senior Brother. Even while traveling, she was constantly Cultivating and consuming nourishing origin pills.

And the Female Yan Emperor was uncharacteristically quiet.

”Yunzhou,” Shen Nian replied, sitting upright nearby, the firelight reflecting in his dark eyes.

”Yunzhou!” Xiao Qinger’s eyes lit up.

Perfect! This time, she could go home and see her father!

Suddenly!

Shen Nian’s expression turned slightly strange as he looked toward the pitch-black area ahead.

”This... ninth layer of Qi Condensation?”

”Understandable. Since she’s the fated female protagonist, carrying a bit of an Intelligence-Lowering Aura is normal...”

The next second.

”Heh heh heh, truly, you search far and wide only to find it easily! Young Miss Xiao, I never expected to run into you here. Young Master Huang has been looking for you for a very long time...”

A tall, muscular man suddenly walked out, staring at Xiao Qinger with a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth.

”It’s you!” Xiao Qinger recognized the identity of the newcomer, and her expression instantly turned cold.

But the next second, the man’s words completely threw her off.

”Hmm?” When the muscular man saw Shen Nian nearby, his eyes instantly became heated. He licked his lips and said, ”What a handsome little pretty boy!”

”This old master just happens to like this type!”

”Young Miss Xiao, wait a moment. After I’ve had my fun, I’ll take you back to see Young Master Huang!”
