Chapter 777: Changing Methods Again

Wang Jianqiang smiled secretly in his heart, "Oh? Which method does Fairy Long wish to change to?"

"The second one, is that alright?"

Long Er lowered her head, not daring to look at "Wan Guiyuan".

Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Naturally, that is fine."

……

Half an hour later.

Long Er walked out of the room with a somewhat staggering gait.

Once she calmed her state of mind, she prepared to leave.

Mu Lingxi suddenly called out to her, "Senior Sister Long, running back and forth is too troublesome. Why don't you do as I do and stay here with Junior Brother Wan for the time being?"

"It can also prevent Senior Sister Wen Ya from discovering anything."

"I presume you wouldn't want Senior Sister Wen Ya to know about this matter, would you?"

Hearing "Lu Xiu"'s suggestion, Long Er was startled, then thought it over and agreed.

Since she had already greeted Wen Ya before leaving, staying out for eight or ten days without returning shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thinking of this, she nodded, "Many thanks to Fairy Lu for the reminder, but I don't know if Daoist Friend Wan will agree."

"Rest assured, Fairy Long, I will help you speak to him."

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang walked out from the inner room.

Upon seeing "Wan Guiyuan", Long Er's face flushed, her earlobes turning bright red, and she kept her head lowered, not daring to look at "Wan Guiyuan".

Mu Lingxi walked straight up to him, "Senior Brother Wan, Fairy Long also wishes to live with you, just like me."

Hearing "Lu Xiu"'s ambiguous words, Long Er could not afford to be shy and hurriedly looked up at "Wan Guiyuan", "Daoist Friend Wan, I only wish to make it more convenient to assist you in your cultivation."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Wan understands. Wan has always admired fairies with strong ambition."

"Wan has always held Fairy Long in high regard, and I never expected Fairy Long's ambition to be this strong. Wan truly appreciates Fairy Long all the more."

Upon hearing this, Long Er shyly lowered her head, yet the corners of her mouth curled up unknowingly.

……

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Wang Jianqiang and the others arrived in the city.

In a guest room space.

Wen Ya, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her closed eyes.

She silently calculated the time.

Her brows furrowed.

Long Er had been gone for over ten days; why hadn't she returned yet?

She pondered for a moment, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent a message.

In another guest room space.

In an elegant room.

Wang Jianqiang sat cross-legged, appearing to have entered a state of quiet meditation.

Long Er looked at him with a flushed face and walked out of the room.

Just as she sat back down on a chair in the main hall, her expression suddenly shifted.

She took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and poured her Spirit Sense into it.

Immediately, Wen Ya's questioning voice rang out in her mind.

Her expression flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, she sent a message back to Wen Ya, "Sister Wen Ya, I am playing in the mountain range outside the city. I will definitely return in five or six days, or ten at the latest."

Not long after her message was sent, the Sound Transmission Talisman lit up again, and a helpless voice rang out in her mind, "You, you are already at the Spirit Transformation Stage, yet you are still so playful. Do take care of your safety."

Hearing Wen Ya's response, Long Er's expression relaxed.

She silently took stock of the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills in her Space Ring.

Through her hard work over these past ten-plus days, she had not only long since paid off the debt of ten Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills but had also obtained another twenty.

Excluding the very first one, she had obtained a total of thirty Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills.

During this period.

She had refined and consumed some, and now fifteen remained on her person.

"The Spirit Ranking Battle will begin in half a month."

"If I cannot take advantage of this half-month to obtain all the remaining Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills, I won't have such a good opportunity to exchange with Wan Guiyuan in the future."

Thinking of this, she thought of the ten-fold reward.

Her expression fluctuated.

She now had no secrets left before Wan Guiyuan, so what did it matter if she went a step further?

No one would know anyway.

At worst, she would simply stop associating with Wan Guiyuan after obtaining the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room.

Long Er gathered her courage, stood up, and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wan, I wish to change to another cultivation method."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, revealing a thoughtful look, "Fairy Long wishes to...?"

Long Er took a deep breath and said to Wang Jianqiang.

"That's right."

"I want to try the third cultivation method."

Hearing Long Er's words, Wang Jianqiang was stunned, seemingly unable to believe it, "Fairy Long, are you serious?"

Long Er nodded with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said with a solemn face, "Wan has always held Fairy Long in high regard. Since Fairy Long has made up her mind, Wan naturally dares not disobey."

Upon hearing this, a flash of gratitude crossed Long Er's face, "Daoist Friend Wan is truly a good person."

Wang Jianqiang's heart skipped a beat.

Why was she insulting him?

Immediately after, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Fairy Long is too kind. So, when shall we begin?"

"There is no time to lose, let's do it now," said Long Er.

Wen Ya was already urging her.

If she delayed her return any longer, it might arouse Wen Ya's suspicion.

Therefore, she had to speed things up.

……

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang sat in the main hall, looking relaxed.

Mu Lingxi was behind him, helping him massage his shoulders.

Just at this moment.

A figure gently leaned against the wall and slowly walked out.

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang immediately went up to meet her, his face full of concern, one hand wrapping around her waist and the other supporting her shoulder.

"Fairy Long, you're awake."

Noticing this intimate behavior from "Wan Guiyuan," Long Er frowned, but then immediately relaxed her expression.

Forget it.

Things had reached this point, so such behavior didn't really matter anymore.

It's just that...

She had originally thought the third cultivation method would help her obtain the Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pill more quickly.

But she hadn't expected it to be such a waste of time; all things considered, it didn't seem any faster than the second method.

"Fairy Long, take these Pills first."

Just then, the voice of "Wan Guiyuan" came.

She snapped back to reality.

Only then did she discover that Wan Guiyuan had somehow taken out seven Jade Bottles, a sincere smile on his face, "These are all the remaining Perfect Spirit-Nurturing Pills I have. Fairy Long, please take them."

Long Er was startled, "Aren't you afraid that I won't fulfill my promise after taking the Pills?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Wan knows that Fairy Long is a proud person; how could you act in such a petty manner?"

"Besides, I have already said that I admire you, Fairy. Even if you truly went back on your word, I would certainly not say a single word more."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's sincere words, a wave of emotion inexplicably stirred in Long Er's heart.

"Ding, Long Er's Good and Evil Value has increased. Current Good and Evil Value: 90."

In Wang Jianqiang's mind, the system's prompt sounded, emotionless and mechanical.

Hearing this prompt, he felt happy inside.

Just in that instant, Long Er's Good and Evil Value toward him had soared from 40 points to 90 points.

By now, he already had ample experience in gaining Good and Evil Value.

He clearly understood that the process of increasing each person's Good and Evil Value was different.

For some people, Good and Evil Value could increase steadily like a flowing stream.

While for others, because they had reservations, the increase in Good and Evil Value was phased, requiring one to break through the barriers in their hearts time and again.

Before breaking through those inner barriers, the Good and Evil Value would remain stuck at a certain number, but once the barrier was broken, it could achieve a leap in growth.

Just like Long Er, who belonged to the second type.
