169: Chapter 169: The Struggle Xiao Yuan Was Unaware Of

Current Dual Cultivation could only accumulate energy for the creation cauldron and somewhat enhance his cultivation.

His main purpose, after all, was to activate the Wu Clan Bloodline.

As for the Medicinal Pills he sorted out, they could actually help them boost their cultivation in a short period of time!

He had to refine these Medicinal Pills as soon as possible.

As for the Pill Formula for breaking through to the Nascent Soul, he had also found it.

Refining it was only a matter of time.

He was not lacking in Spirit Medicine, and the wealth he obtained from that fellow of the Wanfa Sect during the last trip to the Secret Realm was certainly not a small amount!

The herbal ingredients were even more abundant!

Just as he was organizing the Pill Formula and preparing to start refining the Spirit Condensation Pills to enhance cultivation for the Golden Core Stage, he sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Who is talking about me?"

He turned his head to look at the adjacent inner chamber, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

He still felt somewhat nostalgic about the gentleness of the two Junior Martial Uncles just now!

At this moment, from the inner chamber, Lin Zhirou's hearty laughter and Leng Youyue's coquettish reproaches faintly drifted over.

From these sounds, he could hear the joy in the hearts of the two women.

Although they had only dual-cultivated once, Leng Youyue's cultivation had unexpectedly broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage; she was originally at the Mid Golden Core Peak, only a step away from the Late Stage.

Yet this very step had taken her a long time of effort, and she never expected that a single Dual Cultivation session with Xiao Yuan would allow her to break through to the Late Stage. How could she not be overjoyed?!

As for Lin Zhirou, although her cultivation had not broken through to the Late Stage, her progress was remarkably great, nearly reaching the Mid Golden Core Peak. As long as she dual-cultivated with Xiao Yuan a few more times, she would be able to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage. How could she not be excited?!

Listening to their laughter, Xiao Yuan shook his head and began preparing to refine Medicinal Pills.

Not long after, outside the Cultivation Room, the figures of Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou drifted in one after the other.

Xiao Yuan looked up, and the Jade Slip in his hand almost dropped to the ground.

At this moment, the two Junior Martial Uncles were glowing with health and radiance, their eyes shining like two little suns, and their faces still carried expressions of lingering charm. The way they looked at him was simply...

Xiao Yuan shivered.

That gaze was like a wolf that had been starved for three days seeing a fat sheep.

"Junior Martial Uncles, you..." He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "How do you feel?"

Lin Zhirou stretched lazily, her posture as languid as a well-fed cat: "Not bad, extremely not bad."

Leng Youyue nodded with a blushing face, but the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan felt his legs go a bit weak.

How could it not be bad—ah, not bad?! True, they felt good, but he couldn't endure it anymore!

These two were Golden Core powerhouses, and their strength was far greater than his! Just thinking about it made his waist ache.

"Well..." He gave a dry cough, "Congratulations to the two Junior Martial Uncles on your Breakthroughs."

Lin Zhirou waved her hand: "Cut the crap, we are the ones who should be thanking you."

She glanced at Leng Youyue, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.

"We're heading back first; we need to consolidate our Realm." As Lin Zhirou spoke, she walked to the door and turned back, casting a charming wink at Xiao Yuan, "We'll come find you again in a few days, oh."

That "oh" was drawn out so long and softly that half of Xiao Yuan's bones felt numb.

Although Leng Youyue didn't speak, that parting glance over her shoulder, watery and tender, was more bewitching than anything said.

Xiao Yuan watched them leave, closed the Immortal Cave door, and let out a long breath.

"Golden Core powerhouses... I can't handle this..." He rubbed his waist, but the smile at the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.

These two had already established a long-term cooperative relationship.

Even if Master and the Peak Masters didn't cooperate, once they broke through a few more times, activating the Wu Clan Bloodline would not be impossible!

Full of motivation, he sat back down on the straw mat and picked up the Jade Slip.

"I must quickly research the Medicinal Pills for the Golden Core Stage; this is a long-term investment..."

Outside the Immortal Cave, the moonlight was like water.

Just as Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou walked out of the Immortal Cave and before they had time to fly away, they felt several gazes shooting straight at them from all directions.

The two exchanged glances and saw the smugness in each other's eyes. Of course they could guess what kind of people were hiding around!

However, since they had already succeeded, would they still care about anything else?!

"Let's go, let's go back and consolidate our Realm." Lin Zhirou deliberately raised her voice.

"Mn." Leng Youyue acknowledged, and the two leisurely flew away.

Behind a tree, Yun Qingwan was completely dumbfounded.

She stared fixedly at the direction where the two disappeared, grinding her teeth in anger.

"Them... Them..."

What had she seen?

Leng Youyue, Golden Core Late Stage!

Lin Zhirou, Mid Golden Core Peak, her aura so solid it was about to overflow!

These two women had moved far too fast!

Yun Qingwan felt terribly sour inside. Leng Youyue's cultivation was about the same as hers, or even slightly weaker, yet now, in a single night, she had surpassed her!

When they met later, wouldn't this lass show off in front of her?

"No!" She clenched her fists, "Tomorrow—no, tonight itself..."

She glanced at the sky; the horizon was already turning pale with dawn.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

On the other side, Liu Yunyan, hiding behind the rockery, was also dumbstruck.

She clearly sensed that the auras of Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou were vastly stronger than when they had arrived!

Especially Leng Youyue, who had jumped directly from the Mid Golden Core Stage to the Golden Core Late Stage!

"This Cultivation Technique..." She took a deep breath, a fiery gleam flashing in her eyes.

Murong Qiu poked her head out from the flowerbeds, meeting the gaze cast down by Su Yunshang from the treetops right at that moment.

The three exchanged glances, each seeing envy and determination in the others' eyes.

"Two Senior Sisters," Murong Qiu said softly, "did you see that?"

"Saw it." Su Yunshang nodded.

Liu Yunyan nodded silently, the expression on her face turning from shock to determination.

"Let's go, it's almost dawn." She said softly, "It won't be good if someone discovers us."

The three nodded, and just like that, they reached a tacit understanding! Then, each displaying their movement techniques, they departed silently.

Watching them leave, Yun Qingwan hesitated for a moment and also prepared to go.

She glanced back at Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave and bit her lip.

This brat was probably laughing secretly right now!

"Tomorrow..." she muttered, her figure flashing as she vanished into the morning light.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Xiao Yuan sneezed.

"Who is talking about me again?" He rubbed his nose.

Completely unaware that the five Golden Core Elders outside had already launched a silent "contention battle" over him.

After rubbing his nose, he once again wholeheartedly began refining Medicinal Pills.

The pill fire flickered, and the fragrance of medicine permeated the air. His technique was skillful and flowing like moving clouds and flowing water... Everything was perfect.

Right at this moment, several familiar auras came from outside the Immortal Cave.

Su Ruotong, Su Li, Ye Qingcen, Luo Ziyan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhou Ruoxi—all six women had arrived together.

They possessed Restriction tokens, so they didn't need to announce their arrival at all and pushed the door open to enter directly.

"Xiao Yuan, we're here!" Ye Qingcen's voice came from outside, carrying a hint of elation.

Xiao Yuan's hand shook, and he almost overturned the Pill Furnace.

He hurriedly steadied his mind, hastily withdrew the pill fire, and stood up.

The six women filed in sequentially. Walking at the very front was Su Ruotong, followed closely by Su Li, Ye Qingcen, Luo Ziyan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhou Ruoxi.

Each one of them had bright eyes and radiant smiles, looking dazzlingly beautiful.
