184: Chapter 184: Master Forms Nascent Soul

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of wild joy welled up in his heart.

Revered Master, this is... agreeing?

He forced back his smile and said with a straight face, "If Revered Master wants to learn, this Disciple will naturally impart everything. However, this Cultivation Technique requires..."

"Requires what?" Yun Qingwan interrupted him.

Xiao Yuan looked at her and said leisurely, "It requires the Spiritual Qi of both people to blend, Yin and Yang to complement each other, and the Five Elements Rotation."

Yun Qingwan bit her lip, her face already thoroughly red.

Xiao Yuan continued, "Moreover, the process requires minds and hearts to be as one, without the slightest distracting thought."

Yun Qingwan: "...What else?"

"And that is," Xiao Yuan leaned in closer, lowering his voice, "Revered Master has to cooperate with this Disciple."

Yun Qingwan glared at him, wanting to say something, but found her heartbeat was beating impossibly fast.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Let's begin."

That voice was as light as a sigh.

Xiao Yuan looked at her tightly closed eyes, slightly trembling eyelashes, and thoroughly red earlobes, a nameless tenderness welling up in his heart.

He reached out and gently held her hand.

Yun Qingwan's whole body stiffened, but she didn't pull away.

"Revered Master," he said softly, "This Disciple has offended you."

...

...

Inside the inner chamber of the Immortal Cave, the lingering aftermath of the churning Spiritual Qi gradually subsided.

Yun Qingwan leaned against the jade couch, her face flushed and her breathing still somewhat unstable.

With her eyes closed, feeling the unprecedented, surging Spiritual Qi within her body, she was completely stunned.

Late Golden Core Stage.

With a single Dual Cultivation, she directly broke through from the Peak Mid Golden Core Stage to the Late Golden Core Stage!

She suddenly opened her eyes, looking at her own hands in disbelief.

Spiritual Qi flowed in her palms, thicker than before by more than double!

That feeling was like a riverbed blocked for many years being suddenly dredged, with floodwaters rushing forth, unstoppable!

"This..." she muttered, turning her head to look at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was leaning nearby, looking at her with a smiling expression: "Congratulations, Revered Master, for breaking through to the Late Golden Core Stage."

Yun Qingwan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat somewhat dry.

She finally understood why Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou's cultivation had soared by a huge margin after coming out of Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave that night.

And she also understood why the Peak Revered Master—after Xiao Yuan stayed in her Immortal Cave for over a month—transformed from Golden Core Peak to Nascent Soul.

This Cultivation Technique is real.

She looked at Xiao Yuan, her gaze complicated.

There was gratitude, shock, and even a hint of... unfulfilled longing that even she herself hadn't noticed.

Xiao Yuan felt a bit creeped out by her gaze: "Revered Master?"

Yun Qingwan didn't speak.

She sat up, tidying her disheveled clothing, her movements unhurried and as elegant as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Revered Master was still that same Revered Master, cold, dignified, and majestic.

Then Yun Qingwan turned her head to look at him, her gaze clear and bright: "Again."

Xiao Yuan: "...Ah?"

"This seat says, once more." Yun Qingwan's voice was calm, as if she were talking about how the weather was nice today.

Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded.

Revered Master, isn't your transition a bit too fast?

Just a moment ago you were as shy as a little girl, and now you've taken the initiative?

"What? Unwilling?" Yun Qingwan raised an eyebrow, reaching out to lift Xiao Yuan's chin. At this moment, she was like an overbearing queen!

"Willing, willing!" Xiao Yuan nodded hurriedly, "Since Revered Master has given the order, how could this Disciple dare to disobey!"

He was naturally happy to see this change in Revered Master! Being able to quickly elevate her cultivation would also allow him to activate the Witch Clan Bloodline once again.

With Yun Qingwan's Aptitude, that day was coming soon!

The corners of Yun Qingwan's mouth hooked up slightly, the smile flashing past so quickly that Xiao Yuan almost failed to catch it.

She reached out and yanked Xiao Yuan over.

"Then stop talking nonsense."

...

(Ten thousand words omitted here)

...

This time, Yun Qingwan completely let go.

From initial shyness and passivity to taking active control now, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

The Spiritual Qi elevation brought by Dual Cultivation was countless times faster than her own bitter cultivation. That feeling of power surging within her body made her unable to stop.

Xiao Yuan was thoroughly worn out by his own Revered Master, but in his heart, he was blooming with joy.

With Revered Master's attitude, would he ever worry about lacking opportunities in the future?

"Revered Master," he took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, "This is the essence condensing golden pill, specifically for elevating Golden Core Stage cultivation. Take one first, and cultivating with the Cultivation Technique will yield even better results."

Yun Qingwan took the jade bottle, opened it to take a look, and surprise flashed in her eyes: "Perfect grade?"

"Refined by this Disciple, the quality is passable," Xiao Yuan said modestly.

Yun Qingwan glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions. She swallowed the Medicinal Pill, sat cross-legged, and began to refine it.

Xiao Yuan also took the opportunity to regulate his breath.

In the following days, Xiao Yuan never left Yun Qingwan's Immortal Cave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave; rather, after his Revered Master-defying act, his own Revered Master simply came to love this kind of matter, and consequently, she refused to let him leave!

During the day, Yun Qingwan consumed Medicinal Pills to Cultivate and consolidate her Realm.

At night, the two engaged in Dual Cultivation, their Spiritual Qi blending, Yin and Yang complementing each other. Yun Qingwan's cultivation climbed at a terrifying speed...

Late Golden Core Stage, Peak Late Golden Core Stage, Golden Core Peak!

A month later.

Yun Qingwan sat cross-legged on the rush mat, spiritual light flowing around her body, her aura as deep as an abyss.

Golden Core Peak!

She opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.

One month, from Mid Golden Core Stage Peak to Golden Core Peak. In the past, she wouldn't have dared to dream of this.

"Revered Master," Xiao Yuan leaned closer, "Your current cultivation can make a Breakthrough towards the Nascent Soul."

Yun Qingwan looked at him, her gaze softening a bit: "Where is the Medicinal Pill?"

She believed Xiao Yuan must have prepared the Medicinal Pill. How could Xiao Yuan, who obtained the dan bell Legacy, not have Medicinal Pills? Not to mention that the Peak Revered Master's Breakthrough was just not long ago!

Xiao Yuan hurriedly pulled out a small jade bottle, presenting it with both hands: "nascent soul barrier-breaking pill, perfect grade. This Disciple has long since prepared it."

Yun Qingwan took the jade bottle, fell silent for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "Thank you."

Xiao Yuan was stunned, then smiled and said: "Why is Revered Master being so polite with this Disciple."

Yun Qingwan didn't speak, only giving him a glance. That gaze was so gentle it didn't look like her.

She took a deep breath, consumed the Medicinal Pill, and closed her eyes.

Boom...

Above Dan Peak, dark clouds churned once more, lightning intertwining!

A giant Spiritual Qi vortex appeared above Yun Qingwan's Immortal Cave, even more astonishing than the phenomenon when Peak Master Yun Ruowei formed her Nascent Soul last time!

"Someone is forming their Nascent Soul again?!"

"It's Elder Yun! Elder Yun is going to form her Nascent Soul!"

"Good heavens, Dan Peak is truly going to defy the heavens!"

The entire Jade Maiden Palace was alarmed once again.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei stood at the Peak of the mountain, gazing afar in the direction of Yun Qingwan's Immortal Cave, satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

The five Elders—Leng Youyue, Lin Zhirou, Liu Yunyan, Murong Qiu, and Su Yunshang—all rushed out of their Immortal Caves simultaneously, each of them too excited to speak.

In their eyes, there was naturally also thick envy; their gazes couldn't help but brighten a few fractions more, filled with hope!

The six girls including Ruotong also ran out, looking up at the astonishing phenomenon in the sky, both shocked and delighted.

Main Peak, Qinghe Cave Abode.

Shen Qinghe stood in front of the window, looking towards Dan Peak, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.

"Another one," she said softly.
