Ten days passed in a hurry, and the spiritual liquid in the pool had already reached the bottom. The remaining liquid was completely absorbed by Leng Yanran after half an hour. Only then did she slowly open her eyes.
"Phew…"
After letting out a long breath, Leng Yanran was astonished by her cultivation realm.
"In such a short time, I actually reached the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm!? But after consuming so much spiritual liquid, it seems like breaking through five realms isn't a problem either…"
After being secretly amazed, she looked at the now empty pool and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Little did she know that even if she hadn't cultivated the Chaotic Demonic Art with its high consumption rate, but a heaven rank cultivation technique, it would be enough for one to attempt breaking through from the second level of the Transcendent Realm and challenge the Returning Void Realm!
After all, it was a myth-level technique, and the strength it brought naturally came with significant resource consumption.
Then she looked at the now-empty pool, where the precious spiritual liquid had vanished without a single drop left. She couldn't help but slightly furrow her brows.
"I've used up so much precious spiritual liquid from Master... I'm afraid I won't be able to repay this favor. From now on, my life belongs to Master. If Master needs anything, I can do anything for Master at any time!"
Yanran firmly made up her mind. However, now that her cultivation had come to an end, she didn't have time to dawdle here. She stood up, preparing to put on her clothes and meet Master to inform him of the results of this breakthrough.
However, as soon as Yanran got up, she absentmindedly touched her full head of hair and suddenly froze.
"Ah!!?"
A scream echoed through the hall as if she had encountered a great fright.
At that moment, Chen Daoxuan was still sleeping, but upon hearing his disciple's alarmed cry, he quickly used his mind to appear instantly in the hot spring hall.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Daoxuan appeared and immediately asked, but before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened in astonishment at the scene before him.
Yanran was completely naked, with her hands on her head—no, it was on the two horns that had suddenly grown out of her head!
While she was touching her hair just now, she felt the two horns that had inexplicably appeared, which frightened her into screaming.
The two of them locked eyes, and after a moment of silence, Yanran screamed again, "Ah!! Master, why did you suddenly barge in?"
Frozen by her Master's gaze for a moment, she quickly blushed like a cooked prawn, feeling embarrassed beyond belief.
"Ahem, cough, for the Master, upon hearing your scream, I thought there might be some danger… Uh, wear your clothes first, and then we can talk,"
Chen Daoxuan cleared his throat, trying to appear calm, but he couldn't help glancing once more before disappearing from the hall with a flash of his figure. He retreated to a small pavilion and embarrassingly wiped away a nosebleed.
"Sigh, the Enlightenment Tea is too stimulating, really too stimulating…"
Hearing these words, the Enlightenment Tea Tree swayed helplessly as if to say, "I'm not stimulating at all! The one who's stimulated is your big disciple!"
Back in the main hall, it took Yanran half a day to recover from the shock. However, her neck to her ears was still red and warm due to congestion.
"Master saw me, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Besides, Master barged in because he was worried about me. And his gaze... doesn't make me uncomfortable. Instead, it's kind of…"
Recalling the scene just now, Yanran felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She couldn't face her Master again.
Even though she possessed innate charm, admired by countless men, no one had ever seen her naked body before.
Finally, after a long time, Yanran managed to nervously put on her clothes and carefully placed the jade bottle back where it belonged before leaving the main hall. Like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head as she walked towards the pavilion.
In a soft voice, she greeted, "Disciple pays respects to Master."
The atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment as both of them unintentionally recalled the scene just now.
"Hmm... Any doubts during this cultivation?" Chen Daoxuan casually brought up a topic and asked.
"Reporting to Master, during this cultivation, I was fully immersed in enlightenment and had a clear mind, without any doubts," Yanran quickly replied, "But I feel ashamed that despite consuming such a large amount of spiritual liquid, I only managed to break through five small realms."
Hearing her response, Chen Daoxuan comforted her, "There's no need to belittle yourself. The technique I gave you is of mythical grade, which indeed bestows immense power, but at the same time, it requires an exponentially increased amount of resources for cultivation. Breaking through five realms is already impressive."
Chen Daoxuan nodded reassuringly. He had already learned about Yanran's breakthrough from the system's notifications. Her achievement of breaking through five small realms had also granted him five hundred years of cultivation and five hundred system points.
With the automatic boost to his cultivation, he had now reached the eighth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm.
"I understand, Master," Yanran replied, enlightened by his explanation. Suddenly, she touched her head and asked, "But how come I've grown two horns on my head?"
"Don't worry, that's just a result of cultivating the Chaotic Demon Scripture. It has stimulated your potential and enhanced your physique,"
Chen Daoxuan explained, "You possess the innate charm, and if you continue to cultivate along the path of the Succubus, your potential will be boundless. If you find these horns undesirable, I can find a way to conceal them."
Chen Daoxuan carefully observed her and felt that the sudden appearance of the horns perfectly matched Yanran's temperament. This was what a true Enchanting Demon should be! With a thought, he checked her information.
[Senior Disciple: Leng Yanran.]
[Race: Demon Clan.]
[Special Physique: Succubus (Elementary).]
[Cultivation Technique: Chaotic Demon Scripture (First Volume).]
[Innate Talent: Holy Rank Peak.]
[Realm: Seventh Heaven of Transcendent Realm]
Originally possessing an ordinary Holy Rank talent, under the influence of the cultivation technique and the bone-washing pill, it had unexpectedly reached Holy Rank Peak.
It wouldn't take long for her to advance further. There was also an additional section for the Special Physique, indicating the changes in Leng Yanran's physique.
"A Succubus, huh? Do you think these horns look good on your disciple, Master? If Master dislikes them, I can hide them. If Master likes them, I'll keep them..."
Blushing, Leng Yanran lowered her head and softly spoke while gently touching the horns with her fingers.
"Hmm... Keep them. I think they suit you quite well," Chen Daoxuan replied.
