Chapter 9 – Currently deducing Heavenly Secret
"Oh, so that's how it's done personally."
Not feeling particularly disappointed or not, Chen Huaian reached out and pressed down.
"Mm..." A soft moan came from the game.
Chen Huaian: "..."
Well, as expected of a small workshop.
He liked small workshops.
The influx of spiritual energy seemed painful, as Li Qingran kept letting out suppressed moans, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her cheeks and neck, with fine droplets seeping from her skin. Chen Huaian could clearly see that as the progress bar for healing slowly advanced, tiny black substances began to appear in the seeping droplets.
"This visual is truly breathtaking."
How should I put it?
When spending money on a game, you not only have to see if it's fun but also if it's worth it.@@novelbin@@
Some games are just that big, with decent gameplay, but they only release one or two chapters, and the total playtime isn't even two hours, yet they sell for hundreds. Isn't that just a rip-off?
The game "Virtual Girlfriend" is different.
He had a feeling this game could be played for a lifetime.
As the healing progressed halfway, some delightful prompts finally appeared.
[Li Qingran, meridians repaired, 'foundation damaged' removed.]
[Li Qingran, internal injuries healed, 'moderate internal injuries' removed.]
[Begin detoxification, please press 'Waist Yangguan', circle-press 'Kidney Shu', and use energy to heal.]
Chen Huaian followed the instructions and switched to two acupoints.
As soon as he started, Li Qingran let out an "ah."
"Tsk, it must hurt a lot, right?" he thought silently.
At this moment, Li Qingran's skin began to turn red, and it wasn't the kind of red from soaking in hot water for too long, but rather like a cooked shrimp. Look at how much pain the child is in, gritting her teeth to hold back any sound.
But in reality?
Li Qingran only felt the two large hands on her back were very warm, and the process of expelling the fire poison from her body felt like countless insects crawling through her limbs, itchy and numb. She bit her lip, afraid of making any inappropriate sounds that might offend the senior.
To distract herself, she looked at the bronze mirror hanging by the bed.
From there, she could see a small part of her back.
She thought she might see an old man with white hair, but there was nothing, only two hands formed by spiritual energy on her back, one pressing with bent fingers, the other circling, delivering a gentle and firm force.
Not seeing the senior's appearance, Li Qingran felt a little disappointed.
She felt both relieved and ashamed.
The senior was indeed not someone who would take advantage of others. Even while healing her, he didn't touch her skin at all, a true gentleman. Yet she had previously harbored such disrespectful thoughts, which was truly inappropriate.
[Li Qingran, fire poison expelled, 'fire poison devouring body' removed.]
As the progress bar for healing reached the end, Li Qingran's skin returned to normal.
However, from Chen Huaian's perspective, although the girl's skin was covered with some impurities, it was noticeably more radiant than before, like a boiled egg with a bit of polish.
"Thank you, senior, for healing me. I already feel much better."
Li Qingran thanked softly, her hands awkwardly placed on either side, clutching the towel.
Chen Huaian could see her blushing ears, and even the back of her neck seemed affected.
"May I ask the senior a question?"
Li Qingran's voice trembled slightly, as if she had mustered the courage to speak.
<Alright.>
<No way!>
<Guess what?>
<Recharge 300 ¥ to buy a Sound Transmission Talisman and have a free conversation.>
This time, Chen Huaian didn't even think before choosing the first option.
Receiving permission, Li Qingran felt delighted, and her tone became much lighter.
"The senior has helped Qingran so much, may I know the senior's name? Of course, if the senior doesn't wish to say, Qingran won't ask."
<Please enter your name: __________>
Goodness, Chen Huaian thought to himself.
He had already spent thousands, played the game for most of the day.
Finally, it was time to create a character name?
So, if you don't spend money to this point, you're not even worthy of creating a character name?
This game's threshold is really high.
Chen Huaian thought for a moment and didn't come up with any fancy names.
'Chen Huaian,' he just entered these three characters.
If he were to die in the future, at least this game data on his phone would record his name.
This might be the only trace he could leave behind.
"The sword heart drives away the long night, the scholar's heart transforms the cold dawn. Huaian, Huaian... I will remember the senior's name in my heart."
Li Qingran turned back with a gentle smile, her eyebrows slightly raised, her black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall.
Outside the window, the long night was like ink, the rain pouring down, yet she didn't feel the slightest chill, only a soft warmth blossoming in her heart.
Chen Huaian was momentarily stunned by Li Qingran's smile, as if the phone screen disappeared.
It seemed like there really was such a girl smiling at him.
"The small workshop really knows how to hit hard."
He quickly shook his head, dispelling those unrealistic thoughts from his mind.
"Senior, Qingran has accumulated quite a bit of dirt on her body and needs to wash it off again."
This time, no dialogue options popped up.
Li Qingran wrapped herself in a towel, turned to the ceiling and bowed gracefully, then took the new clothes from the bedside and went to the bathroom.
Chen Huaian stared at the empty boudoir for a while.
He felt like he was really enchanted.
To think there would be a day when he felt a flutter for a game character.
"By the way, this girl only had her injuries healed, but the problem with her spiritual root and dantian hasn't been solved, right?"
He searched around the game interface again.
Then he discovered a help center, where it seemed he could ask questions.
[The first question of the day is free, the second question requires a 100 recharge to purchase a question ticket, the third question ticket price increases fivefold, and so on.]
"Why don't you just rob a bank, why make a game!"
Chen Huaian laughed in exasperation.
But since the first one is free, he'll keep getting it for free until he dies!
"How to solve Li Qingran's dantian and spiritual root problem?"
[You can only ask about one of them.]
Chen Huaian: "..."
Dantian and spiritual root, it seems the former is more important, as it's a container.
"Then how to solve the dantian problem?"
[Heavenly secret deduction in progress...]
"Still deducing heavenly secrets, making it sound so mysterious." Chen Huaian sneered.
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
Little did he know, in the Azure Cloud Realm where Li Qingran was, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, the stars shifted, tides moved, and the earth shook, drawing the attention of countless sect elders.
"Hiss, is there a great cultivator deducing heavenly secrets!"
"Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the Azure Cloud Realm is becoming increasingly scarce, such celestial changes, is there a supreme being divining the future of the Azure Cloud Realm?"
"Avoid! Such a supreme being is not someone we can provoke, better to retreat and cultivate in peace."

[Heavenly secret deduction complete!]
[To repair Li Qingran's dantian, you can use an ancient divine medicine—Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill. This pill has been lost, not only can it repair severely damaged dantian, but it can also enhance the quality of the dantian and its capacity to hold spiritual energy to a certain extent.]
[The 'Luck-Boosting Koi Pond' has captured a sliver of heavenly secret for you, draw the 'Lucky Koi' to exchange for Immortal Grade·Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill.]
Chen Huaian: "..."
Damn, capturing a sliver of heavenly secret.
Isn't this just putting the game item in the guaranteed prize pool?
Drawing a thousand times costs a hundred thousand!
Although there's a chance to draw it directly, but what's the difference between 0.001% and 0?!
If he had good luck, he wouldn't have gotten cancer.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll first set up the account, then go to the hospital to get proof, and without a second thought, head to Mount Tai to start streaming."
Chen Huaian scratched his head.
He originally planned to go to Mount Tai in a few days.
But now, he's a bit anxious.
Li Qingran's dantian must be repaired.
Chen Huaian said so!
