The original owner was a little beggar in Lan State City, just eighteen years old. Liu Changning hadn’t looked carefully at her appearance yet, because considering her own cultivation methods, after the Foundation Establishment stage, she would regain her original appearance.

This was the spirit realm from 50,000 years ago, the timeline was off by exactly 50,000 years.

Fortunately, Jing Huan hadn’t completely twisted the timeline. Otherwise, if she had crossed over to the ancient times before Pei Ziyuan was born, Liu Changning felt that in her anger, she could only wipe out the entire demon race.

According to the timeline, at this moment, Pei Ziyuan should be on Qiyuan Island, with the highest status as the Master of the Dunshi Immortal Palace, one of the nine major sects. If she wanted to see him, with her small body that had just crossed over, it would be harder than ascending to heaven.

Most importantly, after inquiring in Lan State City, she learned that Elder Ancestor Pei was currently in closed cultivation attempting to break through to the Tribulation Realm. Even if she went to the Dunshi Immortal Palace now, she wouldn’t be able to see him.

Liu Changning always had her own plans when doing things. On the third day after crossing over, after clarifying her current situation, she found this barren mountain to cultivate first. After three years of Foundation Establishment, she would participate in the disciple selection of the nine major sects in the spring of the coming year.

In this life, Pei Ziyuan hadn’t experienced death and the destruction of his cultivation under the thunder tribulation, nor had he experienced 50,000 years of loneliness without seeing the light of day.

At this time, he was the heaven’s pride, Elder Ancestor Pei, with his unfeeling Dao methods automatically circulating in his meridians. Trying to make him fall in love with her again would be harder than reaching the moon.

Fortunately, she and he had been entangled for three lifetimes, and she knew his temperament best.

What one can’t get is always tantalizing. Only by being elusive would that person become increasingly interested.

The corner of the old cadre’s lips split into a small smile, which quickly disappeared again, her dirty face showing an extremely strange expression.

After passing the Foundation Establishment stage, she could already use many techniques. Liu Changning used her spiritual power to accelerate her flight speed through the forest, and soon arrived at the hot spring.

Pushing aside the surrounding dead branches and vines, under the moonlight, the full view of the natural hot spring was revealed. The pool was extremely large, with a thin layer of mist above it, swirling and curling.

The entire area above the hot spring was shrouded in it.

Liu Changning shed her clothes and quickly jumped into the spring water.

As the warm water covered her body, her brows finally relaxed slightly.

Foundation Establishment is the first threshold of cultivation, transitioning from the postnatal state to the prenatal state. The original body had many impurities, and with Foundation Establishment, the body needed to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, requiring a pure spiritual body. Therefore, the impurities formed postnatally would all be expelled from the body.

It was precisely for this reason that this Foundation Establishment was more thorough than her absorption of the essence of the sun and moon, and improving her physique through medicinal baths.

At this moment, the foul odor on her body was unbearable, and even with the cleansing technique, the sticky stench was still hard to bear.

Under the moonlight, she cupped the hot spring water and wet her ink-black hair.

Her white-as-jade profile was luminous and translucent in the moonlight. The water flowed smoothly down her smooth forehead, all the way down her slender neck and rounded shoulders.

Her long hair fell in front of her chest, water droplets sinking into the spring water. A cool breeze swept across the water’s surface, causing ripples, revealing glimpses of her fair □□.

Under the moonlight, this was a body as beautiful as the bright moon.

The leaves in the forest rustled, tree branches bent under the weight of snow, swaying precariously in mid-air. Suddenly, a branch broke and fell onto the snow with a “thud.”

Liu Changning’s half-lowered eyelids suddenly opened. She turned her gaze, her eyes creasing into two fine folds, and said coldly, “Which fellow cultivator is there? Why not come out for a chat?”

As she finished speaking, she used her power to control objects from a distance, her fingers flicking slightly, shooting towards the shadows.

It had to be said that the newcomer’s divine sense was not weak, actually able to avoid her Tribulation Realm divine sense, showing that their cultivation was not low.

Liu Changning’s body tensed. With Cangming inside her, even if a Tribulation Realm Elder Ancestor were here, she would have the power to fight. However, exhausting her spiritual power now would do her more harm than good.

Liu Changning tensed her body, her thin lips pressed into a straight line, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

Unexpectedly, when the pebble was shot out, instead of hitting the enemy, it struck down a silly black strange bird.

The black bird fell into the hot spring, its beak pointing straight at Liu Changning’s chest.

The old cadre paused for a moment, her cold aura fully open, two fingers pinching the ugly thing and throwing it into the spring water.

The black bird’s bean-sized eyes narrowed slightly, its black wings flapping twice in the hot spring pool water, coldly turning to the side.

“How dare you!”

Liu Changning raised an eyebrow. She thought it was some big shot, but it turned out to be a beast that had cultivated into a spirit. Its voice was hoarse and unpleasant, perfectly matching its appearance.

She folded her arms across her chest, the hot spring water rippling around her with her movement, the beautiful scenery of her chest fully visible under the moonlight.

The black bird awkwardly turned its gaze away, angrily splashing the water surface, its spiritual power rippling out in circles with the water’s waves. Its long beak opened slightly, coldly warning, “Get out!”

Spiritual power attack, in this world, Liu Changning was second to none.

However, even so, this beast’s spiritual power was not to be underestimated. Liu Changning’s fingers lightly tapped the water surface, leisurely brushing aside the attack.

She took two steps forward and grabbed the black bird’s wings.

The black bird’s originally arrogant expression froze, a flash of surprise passing through its bean-sized eyes, then turning into angry shame.

As she lifted its wings, her upper body emerged from the water, her soft chest undulating with the water’s ripples, surging into its eyes in a spectacular wave.

Elder Ancestor Pei awkwardly averted his gaze. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually dared to… dared to tease him!

Just as he was in the midst of anger and shame,

He heard the cold laughter of the person in front of him: “A little bird that hasn’t transformed, but with quite a temper… Eh?… Embarrassed? Are you male? No, beasts don’t have gender before transformation, could it be that you’ve read too many stories and your mind is full of… No, no!”

The old cadre muttered to herself, her voice as cold as a clear spring, carried to his ears by the gentle breeze. The black bird in her hand flapped its wings a few times, closing its bean-sized eyes in shame and anger.

Liu Changning wasn’t usually talkative, but seeing the bird in her hand reminded her of that phoenix. She had never seen his original form in this life. According to his own boasting, he should be entirely fire-red, a phoenix bathing in flames, naturally flamboyant and ostentatious.
