Lin Qingyao felt the spiritual energy in the air, crazily surging into her body. Then she heard two crisp sounds, as if some barrier had been broken through. She was overjoyed to discover that her cultivation had suddenly jumped from Refining Qi Second Layer to Practicing Qi Fourth Layer!

  What great news!

  Lin Qingyao woke up from the realm of enlightenment, and she missed that feeling very much. She thought about entering the realm of enlightenment again, but standing there for a long time, she couldn't stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again, nor did she experience that mysterious feeling once more.

  Lin Qingyao sighed, knowing that such an opportunity was hard to come by and that she had already been lucky enough to encounter it once. If she were to hope for a second chance, it would be too much to ask for.

  Lin Qingyao furrowed her brow, she smelled a foul odor, looked down and indeed, a considerable amount of brown substance had flowed out from her body again. She knew this was due to the excessive impurities in her body, as her cultivation progressed, those impurities were being expelled bit by bit, that's why it was like this.

  Lin Qingyao looked at her own dark skin and dirty clothes, knowing she couldn't go back like this. There were so many people in school, how could she let others see her in this state?

  Her hearing was much better than ordinary people, and at this moment, she heard the sound of gurgling water.

  Lin Qingyao polished and refined herself, as there were many wild springs and streams on this mountain. She would first find a secluded place to wash away the dirt on her body, and then go back. As for those clothes... they were still in her storage bag.

  Lin Qingyao then lifted her foot and walked towards the place with the sound of running water.

  On the mountain waist, there was a dense shrubbery, and the sound of water came from there. Lin Qingyao didn't hesitate at this time, and directly walked in.

  The shrubs grew very densely, and the branches and leaves scratched against Lin Qingyao's body, feeling a bit itchy but not painful. She had just used her spiritual power to protect herself all over, so those branches and leaves couldn't hurt her.

  What surprised Lin Qingyao was that this sound of water was clearly coming from here, but there was no sign of a pond.

  Lin Qingyao took another step forward with a hint of helplessness, and at this moment, the long-dormant jade pendant on her body faintly glowed. Then, a certain place in front of Lin Qingyao underwent a subtle change, which happened so quickly that Lin Qingyao didn't even notice it.

  However, Lin Qingyao was now inside the bush, and saw a small cave, surrounded by vines, if not looked carefully, it would be hard to see.

  Lin Qingyao pulled open the vines covering the entrance of the cave, and heard an even clearer sound of flowing water. Her heart filled with joy, she bent down and crawled into the cave. Lin Qingyao was also afraid that there might be some wild beasts or venomous snakes inside, but relying on her current skills, even a fierce tiger could be killed by her.

  Just as Lin Qingyao was walking in, a man sitting cross-legged inside the stone cave slightly moved his ears and changed his expression, sensing that someone had entered. Since there was only one entrance to this cave, if he were to leave, he would inevitably collide with the person who came in.

  He didn't know who the incoming person was, but if he could break through the illusion array he had set up at the entrance of the cave, then that person must not be an ordinary person! His heavily injured body couldn't withstand another round of fighting.

  He hastily got up, approached the cave wall, and quickly spat out a few crystal beads. Then, only to see his standing position, as if it had risen like fog, in an instant, the fog along with the person in the fog disappeared together.

  Lin Qingyao walked into the small cave with a bent waist, but found that as she went deeper inside, the cave became wider and more spacious.

  As they walked to the innermost part, it had become a spacious stone cave. Inside the cave was a pool of water with a sharp rock above it, from which a stream of water gushed down, splashing into the pool, making the sound of running water that Lin Qingyu had heard.

  Lin Qingyao looked around and saw that there was no one inside, so she said with delight: "I didn't expect to actually find a natural bathing pool like this."

  A person hiding in a corner of the cave heard Lin Qingyao's murmuring voice, and their face immediately turned red. This black-faced female cultivator was actually going to bathe here! It's really a sign that the world is in decline, people's hearts are no longer ancient. This female cultivator was actually going to undress in front of a man!

  This man had forgotten that Lin Qingyao didn't even know of his existence. If Lin Qingyao knew, she wouldn't have entered this stone cave where a man was hiding!

  In just a short while, Lin Qingyao, who could no longer bear the foul odor on her body, had already stripped off her clothes and jumped into the water pool.

  The water in the pool was a bit cool, but Lin Qingyao's physical condition was different from ordinary people, and after getting used to it, she didn't feel anything, instead finding the refreshing feeling very comfortable.

  Lin Qingyao had a lot of "mud" on her body and it really took her a long time to wash off.

  The man hiding his figure closed his eyes as soon as Lin Qingyao started undressing, because the sound of running water was much louder than Lin Qingyao's bathing sounds. So this man couldn't tell if Lin Qingyao had left or not, and he waited for a long time. Feeling that Lin Qingyao had left, he slowly opened his eyes.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, the man was stunned!

  All I saw was a woman with fair skin, her entire body submerged in the water, only revealing her delicate white shoulders. Her dark hair, wet from the water, scattered across her shoulders. A pair of eyes, incredibly bright and clear, as if they contained stars within them, making one want to carve such beautiful eyes into their heart.

  The water in the pond was very clear, and the man inadvertently looked down and saw Lin Qingyao's vague figure.

  Just at this moment, Lin Qingyao suddenly felt that something was sneaking a peek at her, so she shouted loudly: "Who!"

  The man hastily closed his eyes and blushed with embarrassment.

  Lin Qingyao looked around and saw that the stone cave was empty except for herself.

  Lin Qingyao thought to herself that she was being too paranoid, this place was so secluded, it wouldn't be found by anyone, and even if someone did come in, what were the chances they would sneak a peek at her?

  Although that's the case, Lin Qingyao didn't dare to stay for long. Who knows if someone will come here or not? It's better to wash up quickly and leave early.

  Lin Qingyao took out some clothes from her storage bag, wiped her body clean, put on the clothes, turned around to give the cave a suspicious look before leaving.

  Lin Qingyao left for a long time, and the man dared to open his eyes, looking at the empty pool of water, with a strange expression, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Who was that woman? How did she appear here?
