160: Chapter 160: How Your Disciple Improved His Cultivation Level

Peak Master Yun Ruowei nodded. "Therefore, you must improve your cultivation as soon as possible and have enough self-preservation strength. After all, it is impossible for us to follow you every day!"

She paused, her gaze towards Xiao Yuan carrying a bit more expectation. "In addition, I also hope you can find the Medicinal Pill to help us Breakthrough from the dan bell Legacy as soon as possible. As long as we can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, we won't have to suffer such humiliation like today. By then, no one will dare to touch you."

Xiao Yuan stood there, listening to the seven women talking over each other, a myriad of complex emotions churning in his heart.

Everything they said was right.

But for him to improve his cultivation... he had to activate the Wu Clan Bloodline first!

And to activate the Bloodline, he had to... engage in Dual Cultivation with a female cultivator who possessed the Wu Clan Bloodline.

He glanced at Yun Qingwan, then quickly looked away.

How could he possibly bring himself to speak of such a matter?

"Xiao Yuan?" Seeing him in a daze, Yun Qingwan called out.

She had indeed seen Xiao Yuan look at her, and moreover, that gaze made a strange thought well up in her heart.

After hearing about improving cultivation, this brat looked at her. Could it be... that he wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation with her...!

After all, she knew that Xiao Yuan had the Five Elements Spiritual Root and his Aptitude should be very poor, but now he had actually reached Early Foundation Establishment. The greatest possibility was that he had improved precisely because of Dual Cultivation.

Logically speaking, it was only a matter of time before he improved his cultivation by engaging in Dual Cultivation with those six women, yet he looked at her.

Could it be... She thought of a possibility, which was that because of his improved cultivation, Xiao Yuan's speed of increasing his cultivation by dual cultivating with the six women should now be slower.

Only by engaging in Dual Cultivation with a female cultivator of even higher cultivation could one increase cultivation faster.

Thinking of this, a blush inexplicably surged onto her pretty face, but she quickly suppressed it.

A conflict had just arisen in her heart: alternatively, let this fellow become a Rebellious Disciple challenging his Master, and perhaps her own cultivation could also break through the Bottleneck. Nascent Soul... was just around the corner.

But this thought was quickly suppressed by her, feeling somewhat immoral in her heart! Coveting her own Disciple, if people found out, where would she put her face!

Even though those who practiced immortality pursued longevity and worldly frames could not bind them, yet... before taking that step, there were still misgivings!

"Ah? Oh..." Xiao Yuan snapped back to his senses, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

What should he say? Say "Elders, I need to engage in Dual Cultivation with you to Breakthrough"?

Wouldn't that be courting death?!

Seeing his hesitant appearance, the seven women were slightly startled.

"What is it?" Peak Master Yun Ruowei asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

She also vaguely felt something was amiss. Combined with Yun Qingwan's blushing appearance just now, she always felt that this Master and Disciple pair probably had something hidden from them.

"No... nothing." Xiao Yuan hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just thinking that there are too many things in the Legacy, and it will take time to digest."

He paused, cupped his fists and said, "Peak Master, Master, Elders, I will go back first to study the dan bell. As soon as there is any progress, I will tell you immediately."

After speaking, he turned and left, his back view looking every bit like he was fleeing in panic.

Watching his hastily departing back, the seven women looked at each other in dismay.

"What's wrong with him?" Leng Youyue asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." Lin Zhirou shook her head, "It seems like he has something to say, but is too embarrassed to say it."

Yun Qingwan looked thoughtfully in the direction where Xiao Yuan disappeared. The thought in her heart became even more certain.

Her face turned red, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze. At the same time, she circulated the Cleansing Heart Technique to suppress the panic in her heart.

"Qingwan?" Seeing her like this, Peak Master Yun Ruowei's suspicion grew even stronger. She called out to Yun Qingwan, "What are you thinking about?"

"No... nothing!" Yun Qingwan hurriedly denied, but her face turned even redder.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei frowned slightly looking at her appearance. She sighed and looked at Yun Qingwan, saying, "Qingwan, you should know the current situation of our Dan Peak, and also the situation of your Disciple!"

Speaking of this, her voice became a bit more solemn as she continued, "Therefore, what we need to do now is to find a way to improve Xiao Yuan's cultivation... I don't want you to keep anything from us!"

Although she hoped Xiao Yuan could find the Medicinal Pill to let them break through to the Nascent Soul, before that, they even more hoped that Xiao Yuan's cultivation would increase so he could have enough self-preservation strength.

She was already very certain that Xiao Yuan definitely had a way to improve his cultivation, and Yun Qingwan also knew Xiao Yuan's method to improve his cultivation.

It was just that this Master and Disciple pair seemed to have misgivings, and neither of them wanted to speak out.

If there were no external threats, she wouldn't want to press further, but given Dan Peak's current situation, she had no choice but to ask.

The other five Elders actually also saw that the Master and Disciple pair of Yun Qingwan and Xiao Yuan seemed to be hiding something, and couldn't help feeling somewhat anxious in their hearts.

"That's right, Senior Sister Qingwan, at a time like this, you shouldn't hold back anymore!"

"This time it was Zhao Quanzhen who came, what about next time? Even if Zhao Quanzhen didn't find the dan bell on Xiao Yuan, this fellow clearly hasn't given up."

"Yeah, what if Old Ancestor Qingyan also... then..."

Speaking of this, the expressions of several women became even more solemn.

Although they felt that Old Ancestor Qingyan, the backbone of the Jade Maiden Palace, shouldn't covet the dan bell, but... who could say for sure!

Yun Qingwan looked at her anxiously waiting martial sisters, opened her mouth, and hesitated to speak.

She knew that Xiao Yuan's cultivation improvement was related to Dual Cultivation? Even because of the demands of the Cultivation Technique, this brat might have generated the thought of offending his Master.

But how could she bring herself to say such words?

Seeing her like this, Peak Master Yun Ruowei frowned slightly: "What is it? Is there anything that cannot be said?"

"No... nothing." Yun Qingwan hurriedly shook her head.

Leng Youyue was anxious: "Senior Sister Yun, what time is it now! If anything happens to Xiao Yuan, all the hope of our Dan Peak will be completely gone! If you know anything, just spit it out!"

Lin Zhirou also persuaded: "That's right, Senior Sister Yun, we have protected him to this extent, what else is there that cannot be said?"

The other three Elders also spoke up one after another.

Seeing Yun Qingwan's appearance, the other women became even more anxious!

Forced into a corner with no other way out, Yun Qingwan gritted her teeth, her face suddenly turning fiery red.

"Well... I suspect... Xiao Yuan's method of improving his cultivation might be related to... to Dual Cultivation."

"Dual Cultivation?!" Leng Youyue widened her eyes. The several women all thought they had heard wrong.

Immediately afterwards, their pretty faces also turned red.

They hadn't expected that after questioning for a long time, they would press out such a result.

The expressions on the women's faces instantly showed some disbelief!

Seeing their expression, Yun Qingwan suddenly felt somewhat humiliated.

Fearing the women would misunderstand, she hurriedly continued: "Do you still remember Ruotong and the others? Before entering the Secret Realm, except for Ruotong who was at Early Foundation Establishment, everyone else was at the Qi Condensation Stage. What about after coming out? Ruotong is at Peak Foundation Establishment, Su Li is at Late Foundation Establishment Stage, Ye Qingcen is at Late Foundation Establishment Stage, Luo Ziyan is at Middle Foundation Establishment, and Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi are also at Late Foundation Establishment Stage."

She paused, her voice growing softer and softer: "And... they have already engaged in Dual Cultivation with Xiao Yuan..."

Inside the discussion hall, there was dead silence.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei was dumbfounded.

Leng Youyue was dumbfounded.

Lin Zhirou was also dumbfounded.

The three beautiful Elders instantly petrified.
