Swear to the Heavens
A Miracle Pill
“Senior… what is this?”
Li Qingran was stunned.
Moments after Chen Huaian spoke, a mysterious pill dropped onto the table.
Then—
A blinding green light erupted, engulfing the entire room.
A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.
With just a single breath, she could feel her body’s spiritual energy circulating faster!
“This is a pill that can restore your Dantian.”
Chen Huaian answered calmly.
But he didn’t tell her the name.
The Hunyuan Bu Tian Dan was too precious—if she knew its value, she’d definitely refuse it.
After all, to Li Qingran, he was nothing more than a mysterious, divine figure.
If he told her this was an immortal-grade miracle pill, she would never accept it.
And he wouldn’t let that happen.
“A pill… that restores the Dantian?”
Li Qingran was skeptical.
She had never heard of such a pill before.
A shattered Dantian was a death sentence for cultivators.
Even legendary sects had no known method of restoration.
But this pill—
It caused such an earth-shaking phenomenon.
It was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.
“Senior, this pill is too valuable. Qingran cannot accept it.”
Her voice was firm.
She desperately wanted to restore her Dantian.
But—
She had already received too much from her senior.
Yet, she had given him nothing in return.
How could she take this divine medicine without repaying him?
A Senior’s Command
“Just take it if I tell you to!”
Chen Huaian’s voice rang out through the sound transmission talisman.
He smirked.
This AI was truly impressive.
Other cultivation games would have had the character accept the gift without hesitation.
But this one?
The game developers had even programmed a moral struggle.
“This pill was made specifically for you.
I don’t need it.
If you don’t take it now, others **will come to steal it.”
His tone was commanding.
But what Li Qingran heard was:
“This is useless to me. The movement just now has drawn cultivators. I can’t hide the secret forever. If you don’t take it, you will bring trouble upon me!”
Her heart tightened.
If she refused…
Would she be endangering her senior?
She hesitated, biting her lip.
If she took the pill, she would feel guilty.
But if she didn’t, she’d be disobeying her senior—
And that… she could never do.
“Hurry up!”
Chen Huaian’s voice turned sharp.
“W-woo…”
Li Qingran trembled at the scolding.
Faced with two difficult choices,
she finally gave in.
She could break her own bottom line—
But she could never defy her senior.
With trembling hands, she carefully picked up the pill.
Chen Huaian grinned.
“Hehe, you still ate it obediently, didn’t you?”
He was starting to enjoy being called “senior.”
Maybe he should start referring to himself as ‘The Deity’ instead?
After all—
He had spent 90,000 yuan for this!
She better take it.
A Vow to the Heavens
Li Qingran clutched the pill.
She couldn’t just take something this valuable without giving back.
She lifted her gaze to the ceiling.
Then—
She raised three fingers, representing Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Her voice rang out, solemn and resolute:
“Today, this junior, Li Qingran, receives the senior’s grace and is granted a divine pill to restore my Dantian.
I am ashamed that I cannot repay his kindness.
If my senior ever needs me, even if he orders me to walk through mountains of swords or seas of fire—
Even if I must enter the depths of hell itself—
I will never refuse!”
The oath resounded through the Heavens.
The Dao itself responded.
The surrounding spiritual energy trembled, swirling violently.
Her long black hair lifted, dancing in the wind.
Her determined eyes burned like flames.
Then—
She swallowed the pill.
From this moment forward—
She belonged to her senior.
This was all she could offer in return.
A Phenomenon Beyond Control
The immortal-grade Hunyuan Bu Tian Dan melted in her mouth, transforming into pure energy.
A golden current surged toward her shattered Dantian.
From Chen Huaian’s perspective—
A golden light traced a path down her lower abdomen.
Then—
A storm erupted.
A whirlwind of spiritual energy spiraled around her, forming a towering tornado.
“Damn, is this the legendary ‘spiritual energy whirlwind?’”
Chen Huaian stared at the screen.
Clearly, the pill was drawing in spiritual energy from the surroundings, acting as fuel for its effect.
But…
The commotion was way too big!
The clouds above were twisting apart, leaving a giant hole in the sky!
His game map flashed—
Hundreds of red dots appeared.
Cultivators from all directions were rushing toward Li Qingran’s location.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake—”
A new system prompt popped up.
[Li Qingran has taken the Immortal-Grade Hunyuan Bu Tian Dan, triggering a celestial phenomenon.]
[Recharge 28¥ to conceal the secret.]
Chen Huaian: “…”
He burst into laughter—
Not out of amusement, but sheer exasperation.
“Squeezing toothpaste from me now?! Can’t you just charge me everything all at once?!”
His complaints were pointless.
He still paid.
Cultivators in Chaos
In Wanqing Mountain—
“Over there! Over there!”
“Such an immense spiritual disturbance—this has to be an immortal elixir!”
“Hahaha! I’m going to ascend to immortality!”
Then—
The whirlwind of spiritual energy collapsed.
Like a candle being snuffed out.
The rushing cultivators froze.
Their expressions twisted in frustration.
“Where did it go?!”
“Impossible! It was just here!”
“Damn it! Even if it’s a pile of shit, we’re taking it back to check!”
Meanwhile—
Chen Huaian sat back and smiled.
His golden-haired disciple was now quietly meditating.
The storm was over.
But the true change was yet to come.
A Beauty in Meditation
Li Qingran sat, eyes closed, focused on her breathing.
Her black hair cascaded down her back, swaying slightly in the residual energy.
Even with simple robes, her figure was elegant and refined.
On most days, her eyes were fierce, holding traces of heroism.
But now—
Her delicate face was pale from exhaustion.
Yet, this only made her even more breathtaking.
Chen Huaian sighed.
He wasn’t a poet.
He didn’t have flowery words.
But there was only one phrase to describe this moment—
“Holy fuck, she’s stunning.”
He shook his head.
Enough staring.
He had other things to check.
After all—
He had spent a fortune on the Lucky Koi Draw.
It was time to see what he got.
