The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

“Deep scanning required. As Yu Songnian’s realm is higher relative to the host, deep scanning will use 10 advanced simplification attempts,” the system stated mechanically.

Yun Jin drew a sharp breath.

10 advanced simplification attempts!

Converting that, it’s 100 intermediate attempts or 1000 basic attempts!

While Yun Jin had 1000 basic attempts, using them all to scan Third Senior Brother was out of the question.

It would disrupt her entire plan.

The system implied that because Third Senior Brother’s cultivation was higher than hers, only advanced attempts could be used for deep scanning. Once her cultivation surpassed Yu Songnian’s, the required attempts might decrease.

But…

It would likely still be a painfully large number.

At this moment, Yun Jin’s gaze towards Yu Songnian changed.

In the original story, Yu Songnian had always been an unremarkable figure.

Unremarkable in life.

Unremarkable in death.

When others mentioned the Celestial Sword Peak lineage, they often forgot Yu Songnian’s existence.

Yet scanning such a person required so many simplification attempts.

This Third Senior Brother must harbor some earth-shattering secret.

Yun Jin was very curious, but for now, she had to forego scanning.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you still haven’t said what Third Senior Brother’s sword technique is,” Yun Jin asked.

“Your Third Senior Brother practices a sword technique he brought from the Yu family. It uses a short sword, normally kept sheathed. Once drawn, its power is earth-shattering and incredibly domineering. So this sword technique is called…”

Yun Jin’s eyes lit up as she jumped to answer, “It’s called the Earth-Shattering Sword Technique!”

Yue Zhao looked at her speechlessly.

Yun Jin’s eyes brightened again, “Then… the Domineering Way Sword Technique?”

Yue Zhao took a deep breath and said slowly, “It’s called the Hidden Sword Way. The key is in ‘hidden.’ You won’t see his sword until the crucial moment.”

“Also, your Third Senior Brother isn’t deliberately hiding his sword technique from you. It’s the Yu family’s technique, and he has no right to pass it on to outsiders.”

Yun Jin waved her hand, “It’s fine, I already know enough sword techniques.”

Yue Zhao and Si Wanning again felt the urge to hit her.

“When Third Senior Brother petrifies, do we just leave him be?” Yun Jin asked.

Yue Zhao nodded, “That’s all we can do for now. The petrification will naturally wear off in an hour or two.”

Yun Jin grew increasingly curious about Yu Songnian’s condition.

When she had ample simplification attempts, she’d definitely research it thoroughly.

For now though, she needed to save attempts for the Heaven Mending Pill.

That was, after all, a seventh-grade pill.

Yun Jin had accumulated over 6000 basic simplification attempts as an emotional value tycoon.

But converted to advanced attempts, it was only about 60.

Skipping realms required intermediate or advanced attempts.

This time, she was skipping many realms, likely needing all advanced attempts.

Moreover, there would probably be various strict conditions.

With just over two months left, she had to sprint towards the Heaven Mending Pill.

After chatting about Yu Songnian for so long, Yun Jin said, “Eldest Senior Brother, please sit down. I need your help with something.”

Yue Zhao: “……”

Should he be grateful Yun Jin didn’t ask him to kneel?

“Please speak, Junior Sister,” Yue Zhao composed himself.

Yun Jin put on a troubled expression, “It’s like this. I feel I know too few pill formulas. Foundation Establishment Pills and Restoration Pills are functional pills that can’t directly increase spiritual power. I want second-grade pill formulas that can directly boost spiritual power.”

With such pills, combining the pill’s inherent effects and the system’s boost, she should quickly reach late Foundation Establishment. Then she could attempt breaking through to Golden Core.

Moreover, compared to others, she had a huge advantage: her soul realm was naturally at its peak from traversing so many timelines. If her cultivation caught up, her soul realm would naturally rise, saving an immense amount of time compared to others.

This was why Yun Jin was confident in changing fate at the sect-wide assembly.

As Yun Jin spoke, Yue Zhao’s expression grew solemn. He said slowly, “Junior Sister, at any stage, pill formulas that can increase cultivation are of utmost importance. For instance, Peak Master Huo Lie possesses such formulas, but they’re his lifeline. He’d never share them. Originally, the Hundred Herbs Pavilion surely had formulas, but our cover as disciples of a major sect or holy land means we shouldn’t lack formulas, so I dare not ask for help there. The market is turbulent now; seeking formulas might leave traces. That could complicate matters. Junior Sister, I suggest you don’t worry about other formulas for now. Focus on cultivation for a few months first.”

Yun Jin wasn’t anxious. She said, “Senior Brother, it’s fine if there are no ready-made formulas. Just buying some pills would suffice.”

“Just pills will do?” Yue Zhao was startled.

Yun Jin smiled, “How do you think I got the formulas for Foundation Establishment Pills and Restoration Pills? I deduced them from the pills themselves.”

“Emotional value +100.”

“Emotional value +100.”

……

Yue Zhao and Si Wanning each gave her a wave of five 100-point hits.

Yun Jin’s smile instantly grew brighter.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Jin deliberately looked confused, “Isn’t this basic operation for alchemists? Can’t other alchemists do this?”

Yue Zhao’s lips trembled.

Basic operation my foot!

If all alchemists were this bizarre, would formulas still be so preciously guarded?

“You didn’t know I deduced them myself?” Yun Jin grew curious, “Weren’t you surprised that I could directly refine these two types of pills?”

Si Wanning said weakly, “I thought Eldest Senior Brother bought them for you.”

These two formulas were relatively common, and Yun Jin had earned a lot of spirit stones from initially refining Jade Spirit Pills, so she could afford to buy them.

Yue Zhao fell silent, “I thought you exchanged them with Elder Ming.”

Yun Jin: “……”

She could only say her Senior Brothers and Sisters were a bit too thick-headed.

It was good that it was her!

If someone with sinister motives had joined Celestial Sword Peak, they’d be completely fooled!

Yue Zhao coughed lightly and asked, “So, Junior Sister, you can indeed recreate formulas from pills?”

“For first and second-grade pills, I should be able to,” Yun Jin said very cautiously.

For third-grade pills, she’d need to use intermediate or advanced attempts, so it was better to wait until she reached Golden Core.

“If it’s just pills, not formulas, I can exchange for them within the sect. No need to go to the market. Junior Sister, please wait here. I’ll be right back,” Yue Zhao agreed and left with particularly light steps.

Si Wanning couldn’t help saying, “I don’t know what Eldest Senior Brother is rushing for, walking so fast as if chased by ghosts…”

The next moment, she looked up to see Yun Jin’s radiant smile, “Senior Sister, shall we practice swordplay?”

Si Wanning: “……”

That scoundrel Yue Zhao!!!

No wonder he fled so quickly!!!

Utterly unworthy of being a senior brother!
