Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

At the Qi Merger, the bottleneck had formed.

If using the strengthening method of the Great Wei, this person would already be a cripple.

Their own strength would have leaked entirely, possibly not even retaining Ninth Grade power.

But for those who follow the New Cultivation Method, they are considered geniuses.

Geniuses capable of becoming a Direct Disciple.

"Some news should not be shared with outsiders.

This is for your own good."

Shen Han said with a hoarse voice and then swiftly left.

Song Xiaobing only dared to move her body after the "senior" departed.

Slowly standing up, Song Xiaobing tried to inspect her own body.

She felt somewhat uncertain, but she could sense that there had been some changes in her body.

This area in the outskirts was very quiet.

Occasionally, there were a few bird calls, accompanied by the rustling of the wind.

Upon detecting the condition of her own body, Song Xiaobing froze in place.

She stood there, dazed, for a quarter of an hour.

Because she discovered that she seemed to have unlocked the Six Path restraints...

Six Path...

At this moment, Song Xiaobing felt like her mind was spinning.

She still couldn’t quite believe she had unlocked the Six Path restraints.

Before coming here, Song Xiaobing hadn’t set her expectations too high.

Unlocking even one restraint would have been a tremendous stroke of luck.

Song Xiaobing never thought she could unlock any more of her restraints.

She didn’t dare to ask for more.

But now, she could clearly feel it.

The restraints on her body were not only unlocked again.

But two were released at once.

She, Song Xiaobing, was now a genius who had released the Six Path restraints.

More than her genius sister, she had unlocked one more restraint.

Returning to her senses, Song Xiaobing walked back to her courtyard step by step.

Compared to the previous excitement of unlocking one restraint.

Now, Song Xiaobing felt more solemn.

This time, the fortune she received was so heavy that she couldn’t even feel at ease or laugh freely.

Even now, Song Xiaobing still had some disbelief of this reality.

She, Song Xiaobing, was just an Outer Sect Disciple who had unlocked three restraints.

How did she become a genius who unlocked the Six Path restraints...

On the way back, Song Xiaobing was almost in a constant state of distraction.

She didn’t even notice the several puddles on the road, which splattered mud on the hem of her clothes.

She walked all the way back to her courtyard.

At this moment, Song Xiaodie was also in the courtyard waiting for her sister to return.

She too was anxious, pacing back and forth incessantly.

Initially, Song Xiaodie hoped that her sister would gain another great fortune.

But as the waiting time grew longer, Song Xiaodie became more and more anxious.

In her heart, she only wished for her sister to return safely, not angering that senior...

In her anxiety, Song Xiaodie finally saw Song Xiaobing return.

She saw her sister’s delicate brows furrowed, with a heaviness added to her expression.

"It’s fine, it’s fine, as long as you’re back safely.

Even unlocking one restraint is a fortune that even Direct Disciples yearn for.

If you were to unlock another, such immense fortune is something we hardly dare to accept~"

Song Xiaodie spoke, attempting as much as possible to comfort her sister.

But upon hearing these words, Song Xiaobing immediately reached out to grasp her sister’s sleeve.

"Did that senior do something to you?"

Seeing Song Xiaobing like this made her sister a bit nervous.

In her mind, she already imagined some terrible scenarios.

After all, granting her sister fortune, there must be some ulterior motive...

"Sister...

That senior, he unlocked two more restraints for me.

Sister, look, did I see it wrong..."

Song Xiaobing still spoke so hesitantly.

She, even now, was still a bit incredulous.

She was just a failure who unlocked three restraints, but now, she had become a genius who unlocked Six Path restraints.

Song Xiaobing herself dared not believe it.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodie quickly stepped forward, sending her aura into her sister’s body.

With this examination, Song Xiaodie’s expression gradually mirrored Song Xiaobing’s.

Her brow also became immensely heavy.

Song Xiaodie clearly detected that her sister had indeed unlocked the Six Path restraints.

In other words, from this meeting,

that senior truly unlocked two restraints for Song Xiaobing...

At this moment, Song Xiaodie finally understood why her sister was somewhat incredulous.

If her sister could unlock just one more restraint,

such fortune was already unimaginable.

But who could have foreseen, that senior unlocked not just one path.

But unlocked two for Song Xiaobing!

Including the previous ones, Song Xiaobing directly had three paths unlocked.

In this world, who else possesses such overwhelming fortune as Song Xiaobing?

"Sister..."

"Don’t speak yet, let me think quietly..."

Song Xiaodie sat on a chair in the courtyard, and the sisters just sat there, motionless.

All fell silent and didn’t say a word.

After a long while, Song Xiaodie finally looked up at her younger sister.

"Did that senior say anything to you?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaobing thought for a moment: "The senior said that I shouldn’t tell outsiders about this; it’s for our own good."

Hearing this, Song Xiaodie nodded solemnly.

"Indeed, it has to be kept secret, and it is truly for our benefit.

If others in the sect find out, in order to inquire about the senior, they might use any means possible.

By then, you, I, and Junior Brother Han could all be in trouble."

Song Xiaodie, being meticulous, naturally thought of these things.

There is a rule in Five Immortals City that forbids harming sect disciples.

However, upon learning of such a grand opportunity to unbind oneself,

such rules might not be heeded by many.

In the face of huge benefits, the constraints of rules and regulations would significantly diminish.

"Sister..."

Song Xiaobing felt a bit nervous, having vaguely understood much of it.

If others find out that she, Song Xiaobing, obtained such a large opportunity,

it’s very likely that what awaits her will not be importance or cultivation by the sect.

The information about disciples in Five Immortals City is all documented.

An Outer Sect Disciple who unsealed three bindings suddenly has talents comparable to a Direct Disciple.

To the higher-ups of Five Immortals City, they might value Song Xiaobing,

but more likely, the higher-ups of Five Immortals City would question and be curious about the reason for Song Xiaobing’s talent enhancement.

The increase in strength might be due to a sudden epiphany or diligent cultivation in daily life.

But how to explain the enhancement of talent?

If those higher-ups of Five Immortals City learn that there is a method to unbind the body,

even just the news of it would make them go mad.

By then, those pursuing this opportunity would not only be the younger generation.

Even those long-famous strong ones would likely be extremely excited.

Song Xiaodie could even envision it.

She, Song Xiaobing, and Shen Han might all have a tough time then.

"The senior gave you such a grand opportunity; no matter on which level, this matter must be kept confidential."

Song Xiaodie looked at her sister with a serious expression.

"Xiaobing, make sure no one knows about the unsealing of your three bindings.

We absolutely must not speak of the senior’s existence to outsiders."

"Sister, don’t worry, I know."

Song Xiaobing also nodded seriously.

Even though the six bindings have been unsealed, Song Xiaobing understands that she cannot benefit from it.

"To be safe, we’d better think of a reason in advance.

Even if this matter is exposed, we can’t expose the senior."

Song Xiaodie pondered for a moment as if thinking of some solution.

"From now on, Xiaobing, say that the unsealing of your bindings was due to a unique herb.

Draw this herb on a piece of paper, as if it really exists, and remember it.

As for the senior’s existence, we’ll assume it never happened. Understood?"

Having been through many experiences, Song Xiaodie is much more seasoned than Song Xiaobing.

Encountering such a senior is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the two sisters.

This senior, with just a flick of his hand, could unseal three bindings on Song Xiaobing.

Having such power, this senior is definitely more formidable than the elders of Five Immortals City.

The sisters spent the entire day discussing these matters.

As an elder sister, Song Xiaodie felt envy in her heart but only that—

She was also truly gratified that her younger sister could get such an opportunity.

After discussing the whole day, they felt that they had thought of all possible angles.

Close to Noon, Song Xiaodie and her sister went to find Shen Han and invited him for lunch.

When Shen Han heard that Song Xiaobing had unsealed two more bindings, he feigned surprise.

Furthermore, Song Xiaodie informed Shen Han of the countermeasures they had discussed.

She explained to Shen Han that the senior wanted confidentiality and that his presence must not be revealed.

Song Xiaodie made sure Shen Han understood their planned countermeasure.

Even if the news of Song Xiaobing’s unsealing gets out, they must not mention the senior.

Shen Han nodded.

The sisters’ vigilance somewhat alleviated Shen Han’s concerns.

Song Xiaodie also handed Shen Han a thousand contribution points,

sincerely apologizing for past events.

Now, she completely trusts Shen Han.

Her previous mistrust was merely projecting her own pettiness onto Shen Han’s noble character.

At present, Song Xiaobing’s strength and talent must not be exposed.

So Song Xiaodie instructed Shen Han to come to her if he encounters any trouble.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, she has some influence to offer assistance.

Shen Han agreed verbally.

However, his opponents are actually Direct Disciples.

While Song Xiaodie intends to help, there may still be limitations.

After lunch, Shen Han returned to the Book Collection Pavilion to continue his studies.

From Song Xiaobing’s situation, Shen Han confirmed that using the Nine Needle Technique to unseal bindings is entirely viable.

For now, it seems to have no side effects.

In the Book Collection Pavilion, Shen Han also tried to ascend to the higher levels.

The Book Collection Pavilion in Thick Earth Tower is said to have 5th Layer.

In reality, among these five layers, there is an underground level included.

Holding the contribution points gifted by the Song sisters, Shen Han didn’t hesitate to spend them.

He climbed to the upper levels of the pavilion to gain more knowledge about the new cultivation system.
