Chapter 38: The Beautiful Sect Master Suggests Yin-Yang Replenishment
“Master, what’s the difference between forging the Gold and Silver Fire and simply condensing it into a sword?”
Yan Zhen blinked, his long eyelashes fluttering like moth wings.
Chen Xi adored that expression.
“Condensing flames into a sword is merely utilizing the flames directly. Its power is limited by your cultivation and the flame itself, Zhen’er. Forging, however, is a Mystic Tool Crafting technique. It can unleash the Gold and Silver Fire’s latent potential. Once forged and transformed into your personal weapon, it will evolve alongside your cultivation, eventually becoming a Sacred Artifact, worthy of entering the Sacred Artifact Ranking.”
“A Sacred Artifact… Then why didn’t you forge the Gold and Silver Fire, Master?”
“Who said I didn’t?” She flipped her hand, a small, exquisite cauldron, shimmering with five colors, appearing in her palm. “I forged the Gold and Silver Fire into a cauldron, my personal artifact, and I’ve been using it since the Mystic Scholar realm.”
“Then where did my Gold and Silver Fire come from?”
“Heehee, I preserved a spark of the Gold and Silver Fire before forging the cauldron, then nurtured it within the cauldron.”
— She actually cultivated an Extreme Flame? As expected of my Beautiful Sect Master! Amazing!
Although he already knew that!
“However, this is something you can only do after your Soul Realm reaches the Concealed-Manifest stage, Zhen’er. For now, focus on drawing the Wind Rune.”
The Ancestral Talisman Scripture contained nine runes: the five elements – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth – and the four seasons – Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Cloud. They were slightly different.
The five elements were fundamental, relatively simple, requiring combination to unleash their full power. The four seasons, however, represented weather phenomena, inherently complex and ever-changing. Their corresponding runes were naturally more profound and intricate.
The five element runes consisted of thirteen strokes each, while the four season runes had thirty-three strokes, significantly increasing the difficulty of drawing them. Simple yellow paper and cinnabar ink were no longer sufficient. He needed better materials.
Fortunately, the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce had everything he needed.
“What should I do with the Phosphorus Fire I obtained?”
“The Phosphorus Fire is too weak and unsuitable for you to refine, Zhen’er. Keep it for now as a backup. If you can’t find the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, you can use it instead.”
He nodded thoughtfully.
…
After discussing business, Chen Xi suddenly asked, “How’s Ji Ya’s treatment progressing, Zhen’er?”
“We’ve refined about ninety percent of the medicinal energy within her. The remaining ten percent is deeply rooted and difficult to extract. It might take a while.”
“Can she… handle it?”
He understood what she meant, his cheeks flushing. “Two… refills aren’t enough, to be honest.”
“Then give her three.”
“B-but…”
Three rounds? He couldn’t handle that! This wasn’t ordinary intercourse. He had to focus on refining the medicinal energy into a pill during the process. It was incredibly mentally taxing.
“You can replenish your Yang energy from another woman before treating Ji Ya, Zhen’er. That way, you won’t exhaust yourself.”
He was stunned by her suggestion.
“Replenish my Yang energy?”
“Doesn’t Ji Ya have those twin bodyguards? They can help.” Her words were shocking. “Or do you prefer that beautiful Mystic King hiding in the shadows? She’s Ji Ya’s elder, so it’s best not to offend her.”
— I’ve already offended her.
He coughed. “Master, I don’t think we need to go that far. We can just take our time.”
She shook her head.
“That’s true, but I want you to go to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range and find the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire as soon as possible, Zhen’er. It’s ranked thirteenth on the Extreme Flame Ranking, a powerful flame with innate intelligence. Refining it will significantly boost your Spiritual Power. You can’t miss this opportunity. And the sooner you find the next Extreme Flame, the sooner you can continue your cultivation.”
He scratched his head, muttering, “But I don’t want to… take advantage of other girls.”
— Although he had already… half-taken advantage of them, he was still trying to maintain his last shred of decency.
She said calmly, “Those twins are puppets and assassins trained by the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce since childhood. They’re not ordinary girls. If you use them as dual cultivation furnaces, you might even be doing them a favor.”
He felt like her attitude was strange, as if she were in a hurry, but he couldn’t understand why.
“I-I’ll think about it.”
She wanted to say more, but she held back, her voice gentle.
“Think carefully, then. Go now.”
…
As he left, she sighed softly.
She was in a hurry because she didn’t want him to encounter the two sisters from Cloud Heaven Palace in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range.
She hated to admit it, but in his previous life, the Cloud Heaven Palace’s Grand Palace Master had been his first love.
Although he currently felt a slight attachment to her, she wasn’t sure if he would fall for her at first sight again, like in his previous life.
She wasn’t jealous. It was just that his love for that woman, due to various circumstances, had ended badly, leaving him heartbroken. He had never opened his heart to another woman since then.
…
He returned to the bathroom, quickly stripping and jumping into the bath, swimming a lap before resurfacing.
He wiped the water from his face, his expression troubled.
“What’s wrong with Master? She’s not acting like herself. She’s actually encouraging me to… replenish my Yang energy.”
Was that a good thing? It didn’t feel right.
Although Jin Tong and Yu Nu were practically his slaves, obediently serving him, cleaning up after him with their tongues like loyal puppies…
Hmm…
“What are you thinking about?!”
“Nothing– Whoa!”
He turned, startled by Yi Xian’er’s sudden appearance.
“Xian’er, when did you get here?”
She frowned, rolling her eyes.
“I’ve been here the whole time. You just didn’t notice.”
He quickly averted his gaze, avoiding her alluring naked body.
“Is that so? Sorry, I was lost in thought.”
“So, what were you thinking about? I thought I heard the words ‘Yin-Yang replenishment.’” She crossed her arms, pushing her breasts above the water, their size impressive. “Don’t tell me you’ve developed a taste for dual cultivation and you’re planning to… replenish your Yang energy regularly?”
“No way!” He denied it immediately. “It’s just that the upcoming treatment will be a bit difficult, so I’ve been reading some books, and I happened to come across those words.”
“How difficult? Can’t handle four people at once?” She glanced downwards, teasing him. “You seem pretty… energetic to me.”
His face flushed. He quickly turned away, his back facing her.
“That’s not the issue! Ugh, it’s no use explaining it to you. You’re not even helping anymore.”
Her cheeks also flushed. It’s not like I don’t want to help! It’s your “good sister” who’s preventing me! You ungrateful little…
However, her initial anger had subsided.
Once the treatment was completed, Ji Ya would be out of the picture. Then she and Yan Zhen would go to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range together, searching for the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, enjoying their time alone, while that fox spirit stewed in her jealousy.
