Chapter 154 Star Illusion Thousand Machine is a bit angry

"The path of cultivation must not rely solely on shortcuts, otherwise a weak foundation will ultimately lead to failure," Star Illusion Thousand Machine reiterated, admonishing Mu Hanyan.

"I understand what you are saying, I know the principle, but with my current situation, if I rely on myself, I might never break through the Swordsman Realm. The ’Washing Marrow and Cutting Veins’ was too thorough, I really have no other choice," Mu Hanyan said with a grimace, "I need to become stronger as quickly as possible, I must become stronger quickly so I can protect my family, my friends." By the end, Mu Hanyan’s tone was incredibly determined, and her gaze was exceptionally resolute.

She knew better than anyone that the process of cultivation itself was also a form of discipline, a self-polishment, and that relying completely on external objects to enhance one’s strength was not feasible, but her current predicament left her feeling helpless.

"Are you blind?" Star Illusion Thousand Machine flashed a few words again, finally adding an annoyed expression.

"What eyes?" Mu Hanyan asked, puzzled.

Star Illusion Thousand Machine seemed very angry and refused to pay her any more attention.

Mu Hanyan, perplexed, blinked vigorously, and suddenly her vision brightened.

In the midst of the Star Plate, the expanse of the starry sky sprawled before her. Apart from the dozen or so stars that corresponded with her Heart Meridian and shone brightly, hundreds of tiny star points also faintly radiated a pale blue light, forming the pattern of a cultivation technique in operation.

Obviously, this was the method for the Heavenly Heart Technique, which compared to the last Heavenly Heart Technique she learned, was deeper and more exquisite.

It turned out that obtaining the Dragon Heart Stone not only benefited her, but Star Illusion Thousand Machine also benefited. Although it didn’t upgrade itself, it upgraded the cultivation technique. Of course, this was also beneficial for Mu Hanyan.

Without hesitation, Mu Hanyan sat cross-legged and began cultivating this newly upgraded version of the Heavenly Heart Technique.

Unknowingly, night had fallen. Mu Hanyan devoted herself entirely to cultivation, and when she next opened her eyes, it was already the morning of the next day.

Mu Hanyan stretched, feeling refreshingly clear and light, her strength had solidified at the Early Stage of the Ninth Rank Swordsman, with even a slight improvement.

This improvement had been achieved solely through her own cultivation, without any external assistance.

Indeed, it was no wonder it was a legendary treasure capable of recognizing its master through blood, it possessed such a miraculous Heavenly Heart Technique! At this moment, Mu Hanyan remembered to ask why the Star Illusion Thousand Machine had the Mu Family’s inherited skills, which were clearly several levels higher.

She tried asking a few times in her mind, but Star Illusion Thousand Machine gave no response, and Mu Hanyan had to let it go.

Since the appearance of Star Illusion Thousand Machine was inexplicable, Mu Hanyan had asked it before and received the same silence, so she had grown accustomed to it. Since it wouldn’t answer, then let it be. After all, its appearance and this technique, among other things, were only beneficial to her.

Lady Mu has always been an open-hearted person who never troubles herself with unnecessary worries.

With the newly upgraded Heavenly Heart Technique, she could rely on her own efforts to improve her strength, and Mu Hanyan stepped outside in high spirits.

Just outside the courtyard, Mu Hanyan encountered Mu Nan.

Early in the morning, this fellow was sneakily peering around the entrance.

"Good morning," Mu Hanyan greeted.

"Morning, Brother Han Yan," Mu Nan responded with a salute, showing noticeably more respect than before.

"We’re brothers, no need to be so formal," Mu Hanyan waved her hand and said with a light smile.
