189: Chapter 189: The Alluring Martial Aunt

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou stood in front of Xiao Yuan, and that dignified Elder demeanor they had put on earlier could no longer be maintained at all.

The two of them blushed, their eyes darting away, their fingers twisting their hemlines, looking just like thieves.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Yuan found it quite amusing in his heart.

"Two Junior Martial Uncles," he took the initiative to speak, "Didn't you say you had matters regarding Cultivate to ask this Disciple for guidance?"

Lin Zhirou took a deep breath, raised her head, a flash of desperate determination passing through her eyes: "Junior Nephew Xiao, that Dual Cultivation Technique of yours... This Junior Martial Uncle still wants to learn it again."

Leng Youyue added softly from the side: "To consolidate it."

After they finished speaking, their faces flushed even redder, but neither of them looked away.

Suppressing his smile with difficulty, Xiao Yuan said with a straight face: "Since Junior Martial Uncle wants to learn, this Disciple will naturally impart everything without reservation."

Lin Zhirou's eyes lit up, she stepped forward, reached out to hook her arms around his neck, and leaned close to his ear, her voice soft and sweet: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Leng Youyue was not to be outdone, leaning over from the other side, her fingers drawing circles on his chest, her voice as light as a feather: "What Junior Nephew taught last time, this Junior Martial Uncle has forgotten some... We need to properly review it."

Sandwiched between the two Junior Martial Uncles, with Lin Zhirou's dazzling flamboyance on the left and Leng Youyue's gentle and water-like nature on the right, his nose lingered with two different subtle fragrances, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit.

But he was no longer that kid from back then who would blush the moment a Junior Martial Uncle flirted with him.

"Since the two Junior Martial Uncles want to review," he reached out to embrace their waists, the corners of his mouth curling into a mischievous smile, "This Disciple will naturally accompany you to the end. However..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across both of their faces: "Shouldn't Junior Martial Uncles call out something pleasant to hear first?"

Lin Zhirou glared at him: "Pushing your luck, aren't you?"

Leng Youyue's face turned even redder, and she gently punched him: "So lacking in respect."

Xiao Yuan wore an innocent expression: "This Disciple just feels that calling me Junior Nephew is too distant."

Lin Zhirou bit her lip, looking at him with shimmering eyes. She leaned in closer, her voice as soft as melting sugar: "Then... what should I call you? Xiao Lang?"

Those two words slipped out from her mouth, light and soft, carrying a hint of teasing and a touch of seriousness.

Half of Xiao Yuan's bones melted from the sweetness.

Leng Youyue refused to be outdone, leaning on his shoulder, and whispered: "Yuan Lang..."

After saying this, she grew too shy herself and buried her face into the crook of his shoulder.

Teased by the two Junior Martial Uncles until his heartbeat accelerated, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and tightened his grip around their waists.

"Two Junior Martial Uncles," he lowered his head, speaking softly by their ears, "This Disciple will definitely teach you well today."

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou blushed at the same time, yet did not dodge away.

The subtle fragrance inside the Immortal Cave grew even thicker.

...

([10,000 words omitted here])

...

Inside Leng Youyue's Immortal Cave, time passed extremely quickly.

Xiao Yuan stayed here for nearly two months once he arrived.

During the day, he refined the creation cauldron Restriction, while the two women Cultivated individually; at night, the three of them engaged in Dual Cultivation, their spiritual power blending and Yin and Yang complementing each other.

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou's cultivation rose at a terrifying speed...

Leng Youyue took the lead in breaking through the Golden Core Peak, advancing all the way in high spirits, reaching right up to the half-step Nascent Soul.

Lin Zhirou followed closely behind; although she was slightly behind by a thread, she was also only a step away from the half-step Nascent Soul.

"Consolidate it a bit more, and you can impact the Nascent Soul." Xiao Yuan inspected the status of the two and nodded with satisfaction.

Anticipation flashed through Leng Youyue's eyes: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?" Lin Zhirou was puzzled.

Xiao Yuan pondered and said: "The phenomenon of you forming your Nascent Soul is too great and cannot be hidden from people. Dan Peak already has two Nascent Souls added; if another two are added, those people outside definitely won't be able to sit still. You must conceal yourselves and act as our trump card!"

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou exchanged glances, lost in thought.

Of course they also knew the external risks. Although the two Old Ancestors, Qinghe and Qinglian, suppressed those four fellows, but... who knew what those four fellows might do?!

"You have a way to obscure the phenomenon?" Leng Youyue asked.

Xiao Yuan nodded: "I do, but it still needs some time."

He did not elaborate, and the two women did not press further.

After spending these days getting along, they had already grown accustomed to the endless secrets on Xiao Yuan.

After all, Xiao Yuan possessed the dan bell, which was a Spirit Treasure! Its exact grade was unknown.

But if Xiao Yuan could refine it for his own use, he would be able to conceal the heavenly secrets!

Over the next half month, aside from helping Lin Zhirou consolidate her cultivation, Xiao Yuan put more of his energy into refining the creation cauldron Restriction.

The first-layer Restriction of the creation cauldron was like a wondrous and unfathomable gateway, lying horizontally deep within his Divine Soul.

He used his Divine Sense to tap, penetrate, and fuse it bit by bit... The speed was very slow, but with the blessing of the creation cauldron's own energy, coupled with the assistance of the Dual Cultivation Technique, it turned out to be much faster than expected.

The energy of Yin and Yang merging during Dual Cultivation not only nourished the cultivation of himself and the two women, but also invisibly fed back into the creation cauldron, accelerating the refinement of the Restriction.

On the fifteenth day.

Hum...

A clear chime resounded in Xiao Yuan's mind, and that gateway burst wide open with a boom!

The first-layer Restriction of the creation cauldron was completely refined!

He opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through them.

An unprecedented sense of control surged into his heart... The creation cauldron was no longer just a purification tool, but a Magic Treasure that shared his thoughts and feelings.

With a slight shift of his mind, the creation cauldron trembled gently in his Dantian, and a wondrous power diffused outward. That power was formless and immaterial, yet it could obscure perception and confuse heavenly secrets.

"It's done." The corners of his mouth curled up.

Leng Youyue sensed his change, leaned over and asked: "Is it ready?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "It's ready. The two of you break through together, and I will act as Protector."

Lin Zhirou's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Leng Youyue to sit cross-legged. Xiao Yuan took out two nascent soul barrier-breaking pills and handed them over.

"Consume them, focus your minds, and impact the Bottleneck."

The two women took the Medicinal Pills, exchanged glances, and consumed them at the same time.

Boom...

The moment the Medicinal Pills entered their abdomens, majestic medicinal power exploded within the two of them!

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou simultaneously circulated their Cultivation Technique, guiding the medicinal power to impact that natural chasm lying between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul!

With a thought from Xiao Yuan, the power of the creation cauldron diffused outward, enveloping the entire Immortal Cave within it.

That wondrous obscuring power was like an invisible curtain, isolating the inside and outside of the Immortal Cave into two separate worlds.

Inside the Immortal Cave, spiritual power surged, and the winds and clouds changed color.

Outside the Immortal Cave, the sunlight was just right, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. It was calm and tranquil!

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Leng Youyue's forehead, her expression flushing red at times and turning pale at other times.

She was stuck at the threshold of the half-step Nascent Soul, only a step away from that door, but this single step was even harder than ascending to the heavens!

Lin Zhirou's situation was much the same. The spiritual power inside the two women churned like two enraged dragons rampaging through their Meridians, searching for that Breakthrough point!

"Hold steady!" Xiao Yuan's voice rang in both of their ears, "The medicinal power of the pills hasn't been fully exerted yet, hold on a bit longer!"

As soon as those words fell, the medicinal power of the nascent soul barrier-breaking pills erupted once more!

That medicinal power was gentle yet majestic, like spring rain nourishing all things, silently and imperceptibly penetrating into the Meridians, Dantian, and Divine Soul of both women.

The spiritual power was no longer violent, instead becoming docile, converging into a torrent that smashed fiercely toward that Bottleneck!

Crack...

Two crisp cracking sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
