As expected, Gu Xiaoxian's actions were still very fast.

Around noon, he brought him the ten-thousand-year jade marrow heart from the Heaven Treasure Pavilion.

This was Li Yun's first time seeing such a treasure, and he was quite curious; after opening it, his eyes lit up even more.

This thing actually looked very beautiful.

It was about the size of a fist, like a piece of jelly, soft and glutinous, with a stone milk-like liquid flowing inside; when light penetrated it, it refracted, displaying colorful brilliance.

It was dazzling!

To absorb this thing was also very simple, just eat it.

However, it couldn't be swallowed all at once; just like the thousand-year wood core, the ten-thousand-year jade marrow heart also contained extremely abundant energy and had to be consumed in small mouthfuls.

Swallowing too much at once would not only cause energy loss but also carry the risk of the body exploding.

Regarding this point, Li Yun definitely followed the rules.

After getting the ten-thousand-year jade marrow heart, he just tried a small mouthful first, stopping after a light taste; feeling the energy contained within the ten-thousand-year jade marrow heart rushing open channels in his body, he immediately circulated the Primordial Unity Skill.

And the wonder lay precisely here.

Under Li Yun's continuous integration, the level of the Primordial Unity Skill had already become quite high.

Refining the energy of the ten-thousand-year jade marrow heart was surprisingly smooth.

It was as if a originally violent surge of energy had suddenly encountered a natural predator, being easily tamed by the Primordial Unity Skill, and then smoothly refined into the Inner Force within his body.

Coupled with Li Yun's own Primordial Chaos True Intent's enhancement, and all sorts of spiritual energy being attracted to participate.

In the following days.

Li Yun's cultivation could be said to have entered a period of rapid growth.

First level of energy refining.

Second level of energy refining.

...

Rapid and stable.

...

At the same time.

However, Huang Yiyi, who had been expelled from the Sect, did not leave the Heavenly Martial Sect so willingly.

She chose to stay in Wulin Town at the foot of Heavenly East Mountain of the Heavenly Martial Sect.

She rented a small courtyard to live in.

Why?

Because after much thought, she still felt she had a chance.

Because she was Li Yun's fiancée.

This marriage was even arranged by both sets of parents many years ago, and both sets of parents were still alive.

Without the consent of both sets of parents, even if she had unilaterally canceled the engagement before in order to curry favor with Inner Sect Disciple Liu Ningkong, it was actually invalid.

So as long as she found Li Yun and persuaded him, she could salvage it.

She could even return to the Heavenly Martial Sect as Li Yun's fiancée.

Moreover, she had calculated.

Li Yun was now completely soaring to success, vaguely more formidable than Inner Sect Disciple Liu Ningkong; just because she and Chu Xingyu had spread rumors before, they were actually able to alarm the Disciplinary Hall Main Hall, and for this, three thousand Outer Sect Disciples and dozens of Martial Arts Deacon and Outer Sect Elder were expelled.

This fully showed how much importance Li Yun was given in the Heavenly Martial Sect.

If she could return to the Heavenly Martial Sect as Li Yun's fiancée, things would definitely be different.

She might even be able to get revenge on Liu Ningkong.

But achieving this goal was not easy; she first had to see Li Yun.

But she had been expelled.

She couldn't return to the Heavenly Martial Sect temporarily, so how could she possibly see Li Yun?

She could only wait.

Staying in Wulin Town, waiting for him like waiting for a rabbit by a stump.

She refused to believe that waiting here for a month, three months, or even half a year... she still wouldn't wait for Li Yun to come down the mountain.

For the sake of soaring to success, for the sake of returning to the Heavenly Martial Sect, she went all out.

However—

Huang Yiyi never dreamed that by choosing to stay in Wulin Town, before she could successfully wait for Li Yun to come down the mountain, she would first wait for another person.

The night was cool as water.

The sky was dark.

In the small courtyard she rented, Huang Yiyi was idly flipping through a Body Refining Realm martial art, which Liu Ningkong had casually bestowed upon her when she was currying favor with him.

Although it was just a low-level Body Refining Realm martial art, Huang Yiyi couldn't understand it at all.

She flipped back and forth.

She recognized every single word, but when combined, she simply couldn't understand their meaning.

This made her extremely frustrated.

She was very unwilling in her heart.

"Why?"

"I have fourth-grade Aptitude, which is higher than Li Yun's fifth-grade Aptitude, and I'm also very beautiful, naturally gifted... Someone like Li Yun can become the Ren Division Chief Disciple, so why can't I even understand a Body Refining Realm martial art?"

"How on earth did that damned Li Yun do it?"

Huang Yiyi muttered to herself, a lingering resentment towards Li Yun still present between her brows.

Although she had decided to return to Li Yun's side and become his fiancée, her resentment towards Li Yun had not disappeared at all; on the contrary, it had deepened.

Because in her opinion, her current pathetic situation was all caused by Li Yun.

If Li Yun hadn't been so petty, and had chosen to forgive her when she first took the initiative to go to the Nameless Abode, instead of pretending not to know her and even finding a Martial Hall Patrol to take her away, she wouldn't have developed resentment and slandered Li Yun, leading to her current pathetic state.

So the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"This is outrageous! He won't even forgive a tiny mistake. He has no tolerance at all. What kind of man is he, Li Yun?"

"When I return to the Heavenly Martial Sect in the future and climb higher, I will still dump him and let him taste the feeling of being expelled like I am now."

"No, not just Li Yun..."

"By then, even his parents, I definitely won't let them off easy."

Suddenly—

A cold snort came.

"You are truly a shameless woman!"

"You still don't know how to repent even now, and you're still thinking about taking revenge on Li Yun. I really don't know how a woman like you managed to live and grow up like this?"

"Who?"

Huang Yiyi, who was immersed in fantasies of revenge, was startled and quickly turned her head, immediately turning pale with fright.

"It's you?"

Huang Yiyi simply couldn't believe that Zhang Ruohan would find her residence at this time.

But she couldn't understand at all why Zhang Ruohan had found her here.

She only knew that things were not good.

At this time, the night was deep, and she was living alone; if Zhang Ruohan wanted to do anything to her, she would have no power to resist at all.

The most crucial point was that she was no longer a Heavenly Martial Sect disciple, and she wasn't protected by the Heavenly Martial Sect's rules.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little scared.

Her body involuntarily retreated backward.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Zhang Ruohan saw Huang Yiyi's movement, but she didn't mind it, just looked at her indifferently.

"You are a woman so foolish that you are beyond redemption, you simply don't deserve Li Yun."

"Your existence will only bring him shame and become an indelible stain on his life; to prevent this stain from continuing to spread, you should just die!"

As her voice fell.

Zhang Ruohan struck swiftly, her hand raised and the sword fell.

A flash of sword light streaked across the night, and Huang Yiyi's head, still filled with shock and fear, rolled down from her shoulders.

Zhang Ruohan glanced contemptuously at the head, her figure soared into the air, and she gracefully departed.

Soon she vanished into the night!
