The Trio of Calamities

[Ding: The system has detected that the host has embarked on the path of cultivation. The duration of this dream will be extended to six hours. Would you like to enter the Cangxuan Realm?]

Seeing the prompt displayed on her phone screen, Lin Xiao, who had already planned to enter a dream, suddenly hesitated.

As per previous practice, each time I would only be able to dream for a maximum of one hour.

Although the time was short, it was safe.

Unexpectedly, after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the time I can spend in dreams has also been extended.

The Cangxuan Realm offers great opportunities, but also many dangers.

This trip will last for six hours. If I encounter any danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape for a while.

Moreover, the Cangyun Ridge is now fraught with danger because of the previous miracles that have attracted many cultivators.

With this in mind, Lin Xiao ultimately chose to give up entering the Dream Realm of Cangxuan.

After glancing at his phone screen one last time and seeing that everything was calm, Lin Xiao finally drifted off to sleep again.

Now that he knows stomach cancer can be cured, he can finally relax and get a good night's sleep.

But after he fell asleep, the first storm began in the Cangxuan Realm.

……

At six o'clock in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Xiao was awakened by a series of urgent cell phone vibrations.

The jarring notification sound was particularly jarring in the quiet room.

"Who is it? Why aren't people getting any sleep this early in the morning!"

Lin Xiao rubbed her sleepy eyes and impatiently grabbed her phone.

But when he saw the prompt on the screen, he instantly woke up, all sleepiness vanished, and his face darkened.

[Ding: Warning! Three Foundation Establishment cultivators and five Qi Refining cultivators have intruded into the blessed land area and are approaching Lin Qishuang's courtyard!]

[Ding: The basic defensive formation has been triggered and is unable to withstand the attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is about to break!]

"Holy crap! They got here so fast?!" Lin Xiao suddenly sat up in bed.

His hair was a mess, his eyes were full of panic and anxiety, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Is this stupid game doing this on purpose? It doesn't even let people get a good night's sleep before causing trouble!"

Without thinking twice, he quickly opened the game screen, only to find the screen in complete chaos.

……

Lin Qishuang stared coldly at the people in front of her, while secretly calculating her chances of winning.

In the past, if her cultivation hadn't been crippled and if she still had the Qingping Sword, she naturally wouldn't have been afraid of these people in front of her.

Unfortunately, her cultivation level has only recovered to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of them were basically in the late Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from reaching the Golden Core stage.

With the addition of five helpers at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the situation is dangerous!

Just as she was sizing up her opponent, three other Foundation Establishment cultivators stood at the front.

He was looking at Lin Qishuang with an arrogant expression, his eyes filled with greed.

Five Qi Refining Realm cultivators surrounded them, watching them intently.

These people had obviously come because of the rumors of a miracle, but they unexpectedly ran into Lin Qishuang.

The leader was a cultivator dressed in black, with a face full of scars and a fierce look in his eyes, but he was missing an ear.

"Hey, isn't this our famous Sword Immortal Qingping? What brings you to live in seclusion in Cangyun Ridge these days?"

Another cultivator dressed in blue touched his missing arm and said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, our Qingping Sword Immortal is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage?"

"So it seems we can finally get our revenge today?!"

The remaining old man, who was blind in one eye, let out a chilling and terrifying laugh upon hearing this.

Although the three of them came from different sects, they had a common enemy.

Upon hearing this, the one-armed man immediately let out a loud, clattering laugh:

"I've heard that this woman possesses a rare pure Yin body, making her an excellent vessel for dual cultivation. The three of us are truly blessed today."

Upon hearing this, one of the five Qi Refining Realm cultivators mustered up his courage and said, "My lords, what about us? What about us? We also want to taste the fairy's flavor."

Upon hearing this, the fierce man, missing an ear, couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Haha, what's the rush? Once we've taken advantage of this woman, you'll all have your share. Get in line!"

"presumptuous!"

Lin Qishuang's voice was as cold as ice, and the spiritual energy around her instantly surged violently.

In the once peaceful courtyard, a sudden gust of wind arose, and fallen leaves flew everywhere.

Although her cultivation had not recovered, the Qingping Sword was broken into two pieces.

But his inherent pride and fierce nature would never allow anyone to insult him like that.

She is the Sword Immortal Qingping, not a plaything to be bullied!

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qishuang's figure flashed, rushing towards the Qi Refining Realm cultivator who had uttered such arrogant words.

The broken Qingping sword was surrounded by a dense blue light, and a sharp sword aura burst forth, heading straight for the cultivator's throat.

His movements were as fast as lightning, carrying the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he did not flinch in the slightest despite his low cultivation level.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow!

Despite their playful banter, no one dared to be careless when faced with the attack of the Sword Immortal Qingping.

The Qi Refining Realm cultivator's expression changed drastically. In a panic, he hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself, shouting, "My lord, save me!"

Instantly, a faint barrier of spiritual energy condensed in front of him.

"Click..."

The sword energy of spiritual power easily tore through the spiritual energy barrier and struck the cultivator's throat without any hindrance.

The cultivator didn't even have time to scream before his eyes widened, his body went limp, and he instantly died.

The Foundation Establishment Realm and the Qi Refining Realm are worlds apart.

Even if Lin Qishuang had only recovered to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, she would have been more than capable of dealing with a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator.

Lin Xiao, watching from outside the screen, felt a surge of confidence, and his previously flustered eyes regained some strength.

Instinctively, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaim, "Well done! Excellent job!"

But then he thought again, the other side still had three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and four Qi Refining stage cultivators who hadn't moved.

I felt a sudden surge of anxiety, and my fingers flew across the phone screen.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to actively intervene in the battle at this time.

Therefore, he can only wait for the plot to trigger and then spend money to save the day.

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, the one-eared black-clad cultivator's face instantly darkened, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He was originally an elder of the Black Killing Sect, but unfortunately, during the previous treasure hunt, he fought with this Qingping Sword Immortal and damaged his foundation.

From then on, there was no possibility of further progress, and thus the sect abandoned them.

I never expected that I would run into this nemesis while on a mission.

Despite his hatred, he was still very fearful and wary.

However, only after seeing the speed at which it struck did he finally relax.

In the past, this person wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the Qingping Sword would automatically kill the opponent!

Now, he even has to take action himself.

It seems that this woman's cultivation level has indeed decreased considerably.

"Gentlemen, attack together! Cripple this little wench's cultivation and let her taste the consequences of offending us!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the one-armed, blue-robed cultivator and the one-eyed old man moved at the same time.

The one-armed cultivator held a curved blade in his hand, which gleamed with a cold light and was filled with dense black energy. He slashed towards Lin Qishuang's back.

The one-eyed old man formed hand seals and chanted incantations, causing black talismans to appear out of thin air and shoot towards Lin Qishuang.

The remaining four Qi Refining Realm cultivators also summoned their magical artifacts and surrounded Lin Qishuang, attempting to restrain her movements.

Lin Qishuang's expression hardened, and she dared not be careless in the slightest.

She sensed the danger behind her and quickly dodged to the side.

The scimitar grazed her sleeve and cleaved the stone table behind her, shattering it into pieces.

At the same time, she slashed with her broken sword, unleashing several sword energies that instantly shattered the oncoming black runes.

However, a talisman still grazed her arm, and black demonic energy instantly invaded her body.

Instantly, a piercing pain shot through him, and his spiritual energy became somewhat disordered.

"Hahaha, this woman has been afflicted by my Bone-Corroding Curse. Before long, her spiritual energy will be completely disrupted, and her cultivation will be utterly ruined!"

The one-eyed old man let out a chilling laugh, his hands forming a seal once more, sending even more black talismans hurtling towards Lin Qishuang.

"Little wench, if you know what's good for you, surrender obediently, and maybe I'll spare your life and make you my furnace!"
