135: Chapter 135: The Troubles of Lacking Cultivation Techniques

Among the crowd, only Chen Yin's expression was so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Yuan, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

He had thought that with two Golden Core Cultivators making a move, Xiao Yuan would undoubtedly die. Yet what was the result? He was actually driven away by Yun Qingwan alone!

"Why... Why is his luck so good..." he muttered.

But no one paid attention to him.

Xiao Yuan looked at that white figure in the sky, his heart incomparably shocked.

Fighting two against one, and one of them was even in the same realm, she actually won in a crushing manner!

What on earth was the background of his Master? She was truly outrageously strong; he wondered if she had really concealed her cultivation or if her cultivation was truly terrifyingly strong!

As he was thinking this, Yun Qingwan landed in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Come with Master."

After speaking, she turned around and walked toward the tent.

Xiao Yuan's heart tightened, and he obediently followed.

This Master of his was probably going to settle accounts with him. With her vision, she probably had seen through the matter long ago!

Inside the tent.

As soon as Xiao Yuan walked in, he saw Yun Qingwan sitting in the main seat with a lazy posture.

At this moment, she completely lacked the cold Fairy appearance from earlier, instead exuding an indescribable charm.

Her white robes were loose, revealing her delicate collarbones.

There was a smile between her brows and eyes, yet it faintly revealed a hint of playfulness and scrutiny.

Her whole person exuded a fatal allure, yet it made people not dare to harbor the slightest thought of desecration.

Xiao Yuan's mind wavered, and he quickly reined in his focus, lowering his head to bow in salute.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

Yun Qingwan looked at him, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upward.

"Saving your life? You certainly know how to speak."

She stood up, slowly walked in front of Xiao Yuan, and looked down at him from above.

Lowering his head, Xiao Yuan could smell the faint fragrance on her body, and his heartbeat involuntarily sped up a bit.

"Raise your head."

Xiao Yuan raised his head, meeting those half-smiling eyes.

Yun Qingwan stared at him for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled.

"Speak, confess honestly."

Xiao Yuan was stunned: "Confess what?"

He was prepared to play dumb! There were some secrets he didn't dare to expose!

Yun Qingwan raised an eyebrow: "What do you think? Those people from the Yinluo Sect and Jing Country, did you really kill them?"

She looked at Xiao Yuan, feeling both exasperated and amused!

Xiao Yuan opened his mouth and was about to deny it when Yun Qingwan already raised her hand to stop him.

"Don't use that trick you used to fool them to fool me." She said indifferently, "Do you think Master cannot see through it?"

Her gaze swept across Xiao Yuan, and a hint of profound meaning flashed in her eyes.

"An Qi Condensation 9th Layer Disciple could make two major forces make such a huge fuss? Could make those surviving Cultivators point the finger in unison?"

She stepped closer, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness: "Speak, what on earth is your cultivation realm?"

Xiao Yuan was inwardly startled, knowing he couldn't keep it hidden anymore.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Yun Qingwan suddenly smiled.

"Alright, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." She waved her hand and turned back to her seat, "Everyone has their own secrets, and Master will not force it."

She looked at Xiao Yuan, her gaze softening a bit.

"However, remember, you are now Master's Disciple. Whatever happens, Master will cover for you."

Xiao Yuan felt a wave of emotion in his heart and solemnly bowed in salute: "Thank you, Master."

Yun Qingwan nodded and waved her hand, saying: "Go out."

Xiao Yuan acknowledged and turned to leave.

Walking to the door, he suddenly turned back. Seeming to think of something, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly as he turned back to smile at the bewitching Yun Wanqing and said:

"Master, you are truly pretty."

After finishing, he quickly slipped away.

A Golden Core expert ah! If she could supplement energy for the creation cauldron, he didn't know what kind of changes the creation cauldron would undergo.

Although this thought of his was somewhat shameless, and also somewhat overestimating his capabilities! But... a Rebellious Disciple committing offenses against his Master, it seemed... wasn't impossible to act as one!

As for whether Master would beat him to death for saying these words, hehe... This Master of his didn't seem like such a petty person.

Besides, what woman doesn't like being praised...!

Yun Qingwan was stunned, then scolded with a smile: "Brat! What kind of... thing has this seat taken in?!"

Soon, Yun Wanqing couldn't help but laugh; this kid's scheming was deep, but he also maintained a trace of a child's heart, and his character looked quite good! It just felt like... he was a bit of a scumbag!

Those few women surrounding Xiao Yuan, could she not see it?!

Several of them had lost their pure yin bodies, and there was even an aura on their bodies that intertwined with Xiao Yuan's life essence, because they had co-cultivated some kind of Dual Cultivation Technique!

However, this Cultivation Technique obviously benefited both parties, and since that was the case, she wouldn't say anything.

Cultivators didn't view matters of men and women as heavily as worldly mortals! As long as both parties were willing, it was fine!

...

The trip to the Secret Realm ended, and the various Sects successively set off on their return journey.

The flying boat of the Tianjian Sect left first, and Lin Qingxue stood on the deck, waving to Xiao Yuan from afar.

Xiao Yuan also waved, watching that figure disappear at the end of the sea of clouds.

"Reluctant to part?" Ye Qingcen leaned over, asking with sourness.

Xiao Yuan smiled and didn't speak.

The flying boat of the Jade Maiden Palace slowly rose into the air, carrying everyone toward the direction of the Sect.

The flying boat was very large, divided into upper and lower three layers.

The upper layer was the cabins for Elders and Core Disciples, the middle layer was for ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, and the lower layer was for Outer Sect Disciples and miscellaneous cargo cabins.

As the newly accepted Disciple of Yun Qingwan, Xiao Yuan was arranged in an independent cabin on the upper layer. Although it wasn't large, it was much better than those large communal bunks in the outer Sect.

The few women also had their own lodgings; Su Ruotong was originally an inner Sect core, and Su Li and Ye Qingcen were also temporarily arranged on the upper layer because of their successful Foundation Establishment.

Luo Ziyan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhou Ruoxi also had their own cabins.

Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged in the cabin, finally gaining a rare moment of peace.

He introspected his Dantian, carefully checking his current condition:

[Cultivation]: Early Foundation Establishment (Eight-attribute Co-cultivation)

[Cultivation Technique]:

Gengjin Sword Soul Art — Qi Condensation 18th Layer (Already Perfection)

Yimu Azure Emperor Skill — Qi Condensation 18th Layer (Already Perfection)

Guishui Ice Emperor Art — Qi Condensation 18th Layer (Already Perfection)

Binghuo Yang God Method — Qi Condensation 18th Layer (Already Perfection)

Wu Tu Sacred Body Art — Qi Condensation 18th Layer (Already Perfection)

Five Elements Rotation Early Foundation Establishment!

Blood Shadow Divine Scripture — Minor Achievement Perfection (Physical Body Quenching)

Refining Spirit Returning to Void Technique — Entry Perfection (Divine Sense Cultivation)

Yin-Yang Chaos Harmony Technique (Dual Cultivation Technique)

Heavenly Understanding of Array Dao — Tier 3 10% (Formation Attainment)

[Spiritual Root]: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice (Eight attributes, Spiritual Root values all 10)

[Divine Sense Range]: Fifty miles (Mid Golden Core Stage strength)

After checking, Xiao Yuan's mouth twitched.

"Combat power is strong, but this cultivation..." He sighed.

After Foundation Establishment, he tried taking ziyun pill to Cultivate, and found that...

The progress was infuriatingly slow! Because the pill's efficacy was too massive, the accumulation of Qi became extremely slow!

Without a primary Cultivation Technique, the absorbed spiritual power simply could not be effectively transformed. Most of the medicinal power of the ziyun pill was wasted, and only a small portion was passively absorbed by the Spiritual Roots.
