200: Chapter 200: The Female Cultivator Who Came to My Door

In the Dantian, the Five Elements Spiritual Root and the Wind Spiritual Root trembled simultaneously!

Six completely different streams of spiritual power, like six enraged dragons, rampaged wildly within his body!

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind—these six forces refused to yield to one another, tearing frantically at each other!

Xiao Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to suppress it.

But that collision came too fiercely and too quickly, stronger than when he had self-created the fifth Cultivation Technique by more than tenfold!

Countless tiny bloody cuts instantly split open across his skin, and fresh blood seeped out, turning him entirely into a bloody person!

"Hold steady!"

He gritted his teeth, driving the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique to its absolute limit.

The Physical Body strength at 75% Major Achievement displayed astonishing power at this moment.

A profound surge of power gushed out from the depths of his Physical Body, acting like an invisible iron hoop that tightly suppressed that rampaging spiritual power!

The cracks no longer spread, but they did not heal either.

The six streams of spiritual power were still fighting inside his body, like six children fighting for territory, neither submitting to the other.

Veins bulged on Xiao Yuan's forehead as he desperately circulated his Cultivation Technique, attempting to make them compromise. Once, twice, three times...

Not knowing how much time had passed, those six streams of spiritual power finally gradually calmed down.

They weren't subdued, but rather... they began to achieve compatibility.

Gold generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates wind... The Five Elements generate each other, deriving wind!

The six types of spiritual power circulated through his Meridians, actually forming a subtle cycle! Although it was not yet stable enough, they no longer conflicted with each other!

Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking inward at his Dantian, a flash of pleasantly surprised emotion passing through his eyes.

The six Cultivation Techniques had actually begun to complement and support each other!

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind—these six elemental spiritual powers automatically circulated within his body, forming a semi-closed cycle.

With every complete circulation, the spiritual power became purer by a fraction, and his cultivation level improved by a shred.

"If this continues, once all eight Cultivation Techniques are successfully self-created, it will form a perfect closed loop," he muttered. "By then, even without actively cultivating, the spiritual power will circulate automatically. Instead, the cultivation speed will be even faster than others!"

Cultivating eight elemental paths simultaneously had a cultivation difficulty several times that of others.

But with this closed loop, he was cultivating anytime and anywhere. Over time, this could actually make up for the cultivation difficulties brought by his Spiritual Root Aptitude.

Great joy filled Xiao Yuan's heart, and he wished he could immediately self-create the lightning and ice Cultivation Techniques.

But he quickly calmed down... The wind Cultivation Technique had almost caused his body to explode; if he were to self-create the lightning technique now, given his current Physical Body strength, he likely wouldn't be able to hold on.

Although successful self-creation would certainly allow it to integrate into the compatibility, the problem was that his Physical Body had no way to guarantee the self-creation of the Cultivation Technique without exploding!

His Spiritual Roots were simply too massive, and the integrated spiritual power would also become even more terrifying!

"I must first activate the Bloodline to Perfection." He clenched his fists and looked inward at the Ancestral Witch Body Refining Technique.

At 75% Major Achievement, it was still 25% short. It required Nascent Soul female cultivators, at least two or three of them.

Two figures flashed across his mind... Old Ancestor Qinghe and Patriarch Qinglian.

If either of these two were willing to help, activating the Bloodline to Perfection would be a matter of mere minutes.

But he didn't dare to go. Those two were at the Nascent Soul Peak and the Middle Stage Nascent Soul Peak respectively; a single glance from either of them could crush him to death.

"Sigh..." He sighed, and just as he was worrying, the Restriction outside the Immortal Cave was triggered.

Xiao Yuan opened the door of the Immortal Cave, and five figures filed in sequentially.

Walking at the very front was Sword Peak Peak Master Shen Jingqiu, dressed in a white robe with hair like a waterfall, her brows and eyes cold and detached, making her look like an unsheathed sharp sword. When she looked at people, her gaze was calm, yet it made others not dare to look her directly in the eye.

Wood Peak Peak Master Mu Xuelan followed behind her in a light cyan long dress, gentle and calm, with a faint smile hanging at the corners of her mouth. She walked very lightly, as if stepping on clouds, giving people a sense of quiet and peaceful years.

Artifact Peak Peak Master Tang Huor swaggered in, wearing a fiery red long dress, brilliant and flamboyant. As soon as she entered, she looked around, clicking her tongue: "So this is Junior Nephew Xiao's Immortal Cave? Not bad at all."

Talisman Peak Peak Master Bai Suxin quietly followed at the very end, wearing plain white attire with a pure and pretty appearance. She didn't speak much, but those eyes were clear to the bottom, making people naturally feel a sense of fondness.

Fire Peak Peak Master Gu Hanshuang was expressionless in a dark black robe, radiating an icy Aura of keeping strangers away from all around her. After entering, she merely nodded slightly, then stood to the side and spoke no more.

Five Peak masters, five distinct charms.

Seeing them, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled, but he still hastily bowed: "With several Peak masters gracing us with their great presence, this Disciple has failed to welcome you from afar."

Peak Master Tang Huor waved her hand: "Cut the formalities. We came looking for you because we have serious business."

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu got straight to the point: "Junior Nephew Xiao, we came here this time to ask for guidance on the method to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul."

Xiao Yuan was stunned.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan said softly: "Old Ancestor Qinghe told us to come. She said that you can help us."

Joy surged in Xiao Yuan's heart, and he almost laughed out loud.

Old Ancestor Qinghe, you truly are a timely rain! He was just worrying about where to find Nascent Soul female cultivators, and here five were delivered right to him!

But very soon, he felt awkward again.

The gazes the five Peak masters looked at him with were exceptionally sincere. They were clearly here to seek guidance in earnest, having no idea what this "method" was.

"Um..." Xiao Yuan gave a dry cough. "Several Peak masters, the method to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul... this Disciple indeed has it. But this method..."

Peak Master Tang Huor was impatient: "But what but? Hurry up and speak!"

Hearing this, looking at the expectant gazes of the five women, Xiao Yuan suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and braced himself: "It requires cultivating a Dual Cultivation Technique with this Disciple."

The Immortal Cave instantly fell silent.

Peak Master Tang Huor blinked: "Dual Cultivation? What is called Dual Cultivation?"

She really didn't know. In her entire life, apart from Artifact Refining, she only fought, knowing nothing about matters between men and women.

Peak Master Bai Suxin's face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head without speaking.

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang was expressionless, but the tips of her ears quietly turned red.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan gave a light cough and averted her gaze.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu frowned slightly, a trace of suspicion flashing through her eyes.

Those who understood blushed. Those who didn't understand wore blank expressions.

"What are you blushing for?" Peak Master Tang Huor looked at this one and then at that one. "What's wrong with Dual Cultivation? It's just cultivating a Cultivation Technique, could it eat people?"

Peak Master Mu Xuelan truly couldn't listen any longer, so she leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Peak Master Tang Huor's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You... what did you say?!" She abruptly turned her head to look at Xiao Yuan, her eyes wide round, "You want to do... that with us?!"

Peak Master Bai Suxin and Peak Master Gu Hanshuang also understood. The two of them simultaneously averted their gazes, their earlobes completely red.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu's expression was cold and detached, but the hand gripping her sword hilt tightened slightly.

"Junior Nephew Xiao," she said indifferently, "are you sure you aren't joking?"

Xiao Yuan gave a wry smile: "This Disciple wouldn't dare. Since Old Ancestor Qinghe let you come find me, she must surely know about this method as well."

Peak Master Tang Huor's fiery temper flared up, and she slammed her palm onto the table: "Very well, Xiao Yuan! We came here in all sincerity to ask for guidance, and you actually want to take advantage of us!"

An Aura burst forth explosively all around her, and the coercion of the Golden Core Peak pressed down toward Xiao Yuan!

Seeing this scene, the women were instantly startled, and they reached out to stop Peak Master Tang Huor. This woman... was simply too daring.
