Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 635 207 I Can Speedrun

Wang Mu looked at her face, which remained calm. Aside from a somewhat evasive gaze, her tranquility was like that of someone performing a mundane task like eating or drinking.

Indeed, it's different from the Illusion Realm!

Only in reality could one see that faint sense of asceticism and world-weariness beneath her eyelids, combined with the hint of coldness at the tips of her brows.

The Heroine Yan in the Illusion Realm didn't show such expressions; she lacked a certain authenticity.

However, Heroine Yan in the Illusion Realm must be something akin to her Primordial Spirit, Wang Mu felt.

In fact, for a Cultivator, the spiritual communion of Primordial Spirits is far more important than physical contact in reality. After all, at this Realm of Cultivation, the physical body can be forsaken, but the Primordial Spirit cannot. Naturally, the Primordial Spirit was more important.

Previously, Heroine Yan underwent her Crossing Tribulation. Afterward, at the Immortal Slaying Sect, her Primordial Spirit suffered heavy damage—even more so than her physical body. This was what made it possible for her to cultivate the Mixed Elements Heart Sword with Wang Mu in the Illusion Realm.

Gently holding her hand felt like caressing exquisite, flawless jade; the sensation was utterly incomparable to anything in the Illusion Realm.

Watching this, Wang Mu was suddenly reminded of a TV series he had seen, where Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

At this moment, the Five Great Spirit Pills within his body had already made contact. Under the influence of the Primordial Golden Pill, he would need an external force to fuse them completely.

That external force, naturally, was the Mixed Elements Heart Sword.

Or, one might say, Heroine Yan herself.

Actually, if he were to wait a bit longer, stabilize his Cultivation for a few years, and bring his various Cultivation Techniques to the same level, the difficulty of integration would be greatly reduced, he thought.

He lightly caressed the beautiful jade-like hand in his.

Wang Mu discovered that the owner of this jade-like hand was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"How shall we practice?" Wang Mu suddenly asked.

Heroine Yan was startled.

She did not speak.

Wang Mu moved closer, a faint, enchanting fragrance filling the air.

A few strands of her hair restlessly fell onto Wang Mu's face, as if trying to push him away.

Alas, what strength could a few strands of hair possess?

"Would the Elder please demonstrate the Mixed Elements Heart Sword again for me?" Wang Mu asked with a smile.

"Don't call me Elder..." Heroine Yan's cold brows twitched. She said softly, "It hasn't been that long. How could you forget?"

"The previous sword practice felt like a dream..." Wang Mu said. "It's like being in a dream, you understand, right? Upon waking, it's very easy to forget what happened in the dream... Especially after such a long time, who would remember?"

His words seemed to hold some truth. Indeed, their previous sword practice in the Illusion Realm had been quite similar to a dream.

Hearing this, Heroine Yan furrowed her brow slightly. She thought Wang Mu might have truly forgotten the mental method and Mantra of the Mixed Elements Heart Sword.

"Then I will transmit it to you again..." Heroine Yan glanced at him and said, lowering her head.

"No need..." Wang Mu said. "Just demonstrate it for me."

Heroine Yan looked up, a trace of puzzlement in her eyes. "How can I demonstrate it for you...?"

The Mixed Elements Heart Sword was, in essence, a Cultivation Method. The sword entered the Mixed Element, allowing one to comprehend the Yin Yang throughout the body, perceive emotions, and reach the utmost Extreme Realm. There were no actual moves or techniques, only segments of Mantras. It emphasized naturalness, a state of being concerned with the heart. Without actual sword moves or spells, there was naturally nothing to demonstrate.

Wang Mu smiled, moved closer again, and whispered a few words into Heroine Yan's ear.

The next second, Heroine Yan's arm trembled. A surge of heat spread rapidly from her hand to her face, which flushed a crimson red...

"You..."

「——」

Wang Mu suddenly remembered his childhood.

His family wasn't wealthy back then, and he often went hungry. Passing by the breakfast stall on his way to school, the sight of big, steaming buns in the steamer baskets always whetted his appetite.

At that time, his greatest longing was to hold a couple of those warm, big buns in his hands each day on the way to school and eat them.

"They were truly delicious..." Wang Mu sighed.

He remembered one time—he couldn't recall which day it was—he found two yuan on the road. The very next morning, on his way to school, he immediately went to the breakfast stall and bought two hot, round, big buns.

"They were truly large..." Wang Mu reminisced.

The sense of happiness back then came from something simple. In the deep of winter, he would hold a big bun in one hand, slowly kneading it to absorb its warmth, while eating another bun held in his other hand.

"It's funny when you think about it..."

Perhaps because they were so hard-earned, Wang Mu vaguely remembered eating very slowly, cherishing every bite, terrified of finishing them too soon.

Others would take big bites from the side.

Wang Mu was different; he started from the pointed top of the bun, then ate the filling.

Moreover, he was small when he was only a few years old; one big bun was about the size of his face.

Actually, just looking at them, Wang Mu hadn't realized how big the buns were. It was only when he started eating that he discovered a bun was larger than his face.

Eating from the top center, the entire bun would cover his face.

The fragrance of the meat filling mixed with the fresh scent of the white dough was utter bliss.

Especially since he was holding another bun in his other hand, keeping that hand warm too.

However, the next day, he didn't have enough money to buy two big buns.

The owner of the breakfast stall then asked, "Would you like some steamed buns instead?"

Wang Mu remembered that as a child, he didn't like steamed buns. Buns had fillings and were flavorful.

Steamed buns were too bland and could easily make him choke. He didn't like eating them.

Unfortunately, with no money left, he had no choice.

So, he used his remaining money to buy two big steamed buns.

However, after eating them more often, he eventually discovered that big steamed buns actually tasted better.

Why was that?

Although steamed buns didn't have fillings like buns, they could be paired with other things.

For example, he could tear one open down the middle and sprinkle some pickled vegetables inside.

But initially, the biggest problem with eating steamed buns was their dryness. Without a drink, they could easily get stuck in his throat.
