Wait, How Did My Virtual Girlfriend Cultivate into a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 9 - : Divining the Secrets of Heaven

"Oh, so this is what 'personally' means."

Chen Huaian wasn't sure whether to feel disappointed or not. He reached out and pressed his fingers on the indicated points.

"Mmm..." A soft, muffled groan came from the game.

Chen Huaian: "..."

Well, gotta hand it to the small studio.

He liked this small studio.

The process of channeling spiritual energy seemed painful. Li Qingran kept letting out suppressed groans, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, cheeks, and neck. Her skin was also covered in a fine layer of moisture. Chen Huaian could clearly see that as the healing progress bar slowly advanced, tiny black impurities began to mix with the moisture on her skin.

"The visuals here are absolutely stunning."

What could he say?

When spending money on a game, it's not just about whether it's fun, but also whether it's worth it.

Some games have limited content. They might be decent in terms of gameplay, but they only release one or two Chapters, with the total playtime barely reaching two hours. Yet, they charge hundreds of dollars. Isn't that just scamming players?

"My Virtual Girlfriend" was different.

He had a feeling that this game could keep him entertained until the day he died.

As the healing process reached the halfway point, some encouraging notifications finally appeared.

[Li Qingran's meridians have been repaired. 'Damaged Foundation' removed.]

[Li Qingran's internal injuries have healed. 'Moderate Internal Injuries' removed.]

[Detoxification in progress. Please press the 'Yaoyangguan' point and circle-press the 'Shenshu' point to continue energy channeling for healing.]

Chen Huaian followed the instructions and switched to the new acupoints.

The moment he did, Li Qingran let out a soft "Ah."

"Tsk, it must hurt a lot, huh?" he thought to himself.

Li Qingran's skin began to turn red—not the kind of red from soaking in hot water, but more like a boiled shrimp. The poor girl was clearly in pain, biting her lip to keep from making any noise..

But in reality?

Li Qingran only felt that the two large hands on her back were incredibly warm. The process of expelling the fire poison felt like countless insects crawling through her limbs, both itchy and numbing. She bit her lip, afraid of making any improper sounds that might offend the senior.

To distract herself, she glanced at the bronze mirror hanging by the bed.

From here, she could see a small part of her back.

She had expected to see a white-haired elder, but there was nothing—just two hands formed from spiritual energy, one pressing firmly and the other making circular motions, delivering a gentle, reassuring force.

Not seeing the senior's appearance left Li Qingran feeling a little disappointed.

She felt both relieved and ashamed.

The senior truly wasn't the type to take advantage of others. Even while channeling energy to heal her, he didn't touch her skin directly, proving he was a true gentleman. Yet, she had harbored such disrespectful thoughts earlier. She really shouldn't have.

[Li Qingran's fire poison has been expelled. 'Fire Poison Devouring Body' removed.]

As the healing progress bar reached the end, Li Qingran's skin returned to normal.

From Chen Huaian's perspective, although the girl's skin was still covered in some impurities, it had clearly gained a healthier glow, like a boiled egg polished with wax.

"Thank you, senior, for healing me. I already feel much better."

Li Qingran whispered her gratitude, her hands nervously clutching the towel at her sides.

Chen Huaian could see her blushing ears, the redness even spreading to the back of her neck.

"May I ask the senior a question?"

Li Qingran's voice trembled, as if she had mustered up the courage to speak.

＜Sure.＞

＜No!＞

＜Guess?＞

＜Recharge 300¥ to purchase a communication talisman for free dialogue.＞

This time, Chen Huaian didn't hesitate and chose the first option.

Delighted by the permission, Li Qingran's tone became noticeably lighter.

"Senior, you've helped Qingran so much. Could you tell me your name? Of course, if you'd rather not say, Qingran won't press further."

＜Please enter your name: _____＞

Wow, Chen Huaian thought to himself.

He had already spent thousands and played the game for hours.

Only now was he finally at the character naming stage?

So, if he hadn't spent enough money, he wouldn't even have been worthy of naming his character?

The bar for this game was set pretty high.

After some thought, Chen Huaian decided not to go for anything flashy.

He simply entered his real name: 'Chen Huaian.'

If he were to die someday, at least this game data on his phone would record his name.

This might be the only trace of him left in the world.

"'Huaishuang Jiandan qu changye, Anshi Qinxin hua hanxiao.' Huaian, Huaian... Senior's name, Qingran will remember it in her heart."

Li Qingran turned her head slightly, offering a soft smile, her long hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders.

Outside, the night was as dark as ink, and rain poured down, but she didn't feel the slightest chill. Instead, a warm, tender feeling blossomed in her heart.

Chen Huaian was momentarily stunned by Li Qingran's smile. For a moment, it felt as if the phone screen had disappeared.

It was as if there really was a girl smiling at him.

"This small studio is going all out. It's overwhelming."

He quickly shook his head, dispelling those unrealistic fantasies.

"Senior, Qingran has gotten quite dirty again. I'll need to clean up once more."

This time, no dialogue options appeared.

Li Qingran wrapped herself in the towel, turned to face the ceiling, and gave a graceful bow. Then, she picked up the new clothes by the bed and headed to the bathroom.

Chen Huaian stared at the now-empty room for a while.

He felt like he was losing his mind.

How could he, of all people, feel a flutter in his heart for a game character?

"By the way, the girl's injuries are healed, but her shattered spiritual root and dantian are still a problem, right?"

He rummaged through the game interface again and found a help center where he could apparently ask questions.

[The first question each day is free. The second question requires a 100¥ recharge for a question ticket. The third question ticket costs five times as much, and so on.]

"Seriously? Why don't you just rob a bank instead of making games?"

Chen Huaian couldn't help but laugh in frustration.

But since the first question was free, he might as well take advantage of it every day until he died!

"How can Li Qingran's dantian and spiritual root problems be solved?"

[You may only ask about one of them.]

Chen Huaian: "..."

Between the dantian and the spiritual root, the former seemed more important, as it was the foundation.

"Then, how can the dantian problem be solved?"

[Divining the secrets of heaven...]

"Divining the secrets of heaven? How pretentious." Chen Huaian scoffed.

Little did he know, in Li Qingran's world, the heavens and earth were undergoing drastic changes. The stars shifted, tides surged, and the earth itself seemed to tremble, drawing the attention of countless ancient sect elders.

"Someone powerful is divining the secrets of heaven!"

"With the spiritual energy in Cangyun Realm growing thinner, such celestial disturbances... Is a great master predicting the future of our realm?"

"Stay out of it! Such a powerful being is not to be trifled with. Let's just focus on our own cultivation, sigh."

[Divination complete!]

[To repair Li Qingran's dantian, you can use a legendary ancient divine pill—the Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill. This pill has been lost to time. Not only can it repair severely damaged dantians, but it can also enhance the quality and capacity of the dantian to store spiritual energy.]

[The 'Fortune Koi Pond' has captured a thread of heavenly insight for you. Draw a 'Fortune Koi' to exchange for an immortal-grade Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill.]

Chen Huaian: "..."

Divining the secrets of heaven, my foot.

This was just stuffing game items into a gacha pool!

Drawing a thousand times would cost 100,000 yuan!

Sure, there was a chance to get it directly, but with a 0.001% probability, what was the difference from zero?!

If he had that kind of luck, he wouldn't have gotten cancer in the first place.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll register the account, go to the hospital for the certificate, and then head straight to Mount Tai to start streaming."

Chen Huaian scratched his head.

He had originally planned to go to Mount Tai in a few days.

But now, he was in a hurry.

Li Qingran's dantian had to be repaired.

And that was final—Chen Huaian had spoken!
