323: Chapter 320 Senior Su, I have offended you.

With the pitying gaze of a professional looking at amateurs, she scanned the faces of Chu Weiwei and Su Hongling in turn, finally fixing her eyes on the ancient book emitting a dazzling pink light, her eyes shimmering with the certainty of an expert.

"This involves the conversion of the Cauldron, the sealing of the Primal Yang, the fusion of Divine Souls, and the backflow of dharmic power. If an inexperienced person attempts this blindly, not only will they fail to consolidate their cultivation, but they will instead deplete Senior Su's Origin."

Yan Rusi straightened her back slightly. Even though she wore only a dusty set of coarse hemp clothes, she could not hide the peerless grace that emanated from her very bones. She looked toward Ling Xin in mid-air, her tone becoming increasingly respectful yet confident.

"Immortal, please judge for yourself. I, Rusi, have cultivated in the Hehuan Sect of the Lower Realm for hundreds of years. While I dare not claim to have glimpsed the ultimate mysteries of the three thousand Great Daos, I believe I possess some modest mastery in the Domain of Yin and Yang harmony and Dual Cultivation complementarity.

Senior Su has just forcibly absorbed the Earth Immortal Origin, and his Meridians have undergone your profound transformation; he is currently in an extremely fragile and sensitive critical state. Any violent medicinal power or forceful physical collision will cause irreversible cracks in Senior's newly reconstructed Foundation."

She turned around to face Chu Weiwei's murderous gaze, her voice steady and unyielding. "Miss Weiwei's medical skills are indeed divine, but pharmacology ultimately leans toward external intervention. Dual Cultivation emphasizes going with the flow, using gentle envelopment to guide the rampaging Pure Yang immortal essence within a man's body. This requires extremely precise dharmic micro-manipulation and high sensitivity to every acupuncture point in the Extraordinary Meridians."

Next, she looked at Su Hongling, who was making her great sword creak under her grip. "As for the physical contest mentioned by the Second Young Miss... that is an even greater taboo.

If Dual Cultivation turns into a contest of strength, the Pure Yang Qi will turn into a sharp blade that harms others. Not only will it fail to consolidate cultivation, but it will also lead both parties into the peril of Qi Deviation."

Yan Rusi took a deep breath and bowed gracefully to Ling Xin once more, making a startling statement:

"Rusi is willing to volunteer herself to study 'The Great Freedom Yin-Yang Creation Heavenly Scripture'. Rusi will surely exhaust all she has learned in her life to assist Senior Su in stabilizing the Earth Immortal Realm in the gentlest and most thorough manner!"

Chu Weiwei and Su Hongling were both completely stunned.

They never expected that this Hehuan Sect Saintess, whom they had picked up halfway and who had always been timid and soft-spoken, would dare to jump out and intercept them at a time like this!

Moreover, the set of professional theories she had presented sounded surprisingly flawless!

"You shameless vixen!"

After a brief moment of shock, Su Hongling was the first to explode. Her red vertical pupils were instantly filled with rage, her blood and Qi erupted like a volcano, and dark-gold war patterns immediately spread across her cheeks.

"I think you're tired of living! You dare to try and snatch the Old Man right in front of me?! Today, I'll tear out your tongue along with those seductive bones and chop them up to feed the beasts in this abyss!"

The great sword [no edge] whistled as it tore through the air, smashing down ruthlessly toward the top of Yan Rusi's head. If this furious strike from a Mahayana Stage Body Cultivator landed, let alone a half-Immortal like Yan Rusi, even a mountain made of refined steel would be smashed flat.

Yan Rusi's face turned deathly pale. With her cultivation suppressed, she was powerless to dodge this thunderous blow and could only close her eyes in despair.

"Stop!"

At the critical moment when the great sword was only inches from Yan Rusi's head, a green figure flashed like a ghost.

Su Lin reached out his right hand and, with just his bare palm, braced against that sword edge as heavy as the stars.

Although Su Lin caught the sword, his expression became extremely unsightly.

It wasn't because Su Hongling's strength was too great, but because... the Meridians that Ling Xin had modified suffered a fatal chain reaction the moment they came into contact with this violent surge of blood and Qi!

The counter-shock force, which should have been easily neutralized by his Protective Aura, traveled through his palm into his Meridians and turned into waves of numbing tremors.

These tremors felt like countless tiny feathers frantically teasing his entire body, causing the nameless evil fire deep within his Dantian to instantly surge ten feet high.

Su Lin clenched his teeth, forcibly suppressing the muffled groan that almost escaped his throat. His arm trembled slightly as he pushed Su Hongling and her sword back several steps.

"Hong Ling, stand down! Who gave you permission to attack?!" Su Lin's voice sounded somewhat husky as he struggled to restrain that bizarre sensitivity.

"Old Man, you're protecting her?!"

Pushed away, Su Hongling looked at Su Lin with utter disbelief. Her reddened eyes quickly filled with grievance and anger.

"This shameless woman wants to dual Cultivate with you right in front of us, and you're actually protecting her?! Have you really taken a liking to this vixen!"

"I'm protecting her because she is still useful to us! We need her to gather intelligence on Liuyun Town!" Su Lin tried his best to keep his tone cold and hard, but now, even the air flowing past his throat when he spoke caused a wave of inexplicable heat.

"Revered Master is truly a sentimental person."

Chu Weiwei's resentful and sickly-sweet voice rang out from the other side.

At some point, she had put away her small bottles of poisonous powder and walked toward Su Lin with her hands folded in front of her. Within her amethyst-like eyes, her heart-shaped pupils were throbbing wildly, emitting an extremely dangerous yandere aura.

"Weiwei stayed by Revered Master's side for so long, even risking her life in the tree hollow to help Revered Master refine the poison... and yet Revered Master turns around to defend an outsider."

Chu Weiwei stopped in front of Su Lin, tilting her head slightly, a terrifying smile hanging on her pure face.

"Since this Sister Rusi understands the theory of Dual Cultivation so well, Weiwei will add some Bone-Eroding Heart-Severing Powder to her medicinal tea. That way, she can keep a clear mind while feeling her seductive bones slowly melt into pus... that would be quite interesting, wouldn't it, Revered Master?"

Hearing such insane words, Yan Rusi trembled with fear and shrank tightly behind Su Lin, not even daring to look at Chu Weiwei.

"Enough!"

Su Lin took several deep breaths, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

These three women were a hundred times more difficult to deal with than that thousand-foot-tall aggregate monster from before!

"Old woman, have you had enough?!"

Su Lin suddenly looked up, glaring at Ling Xin, who was still watching the show from mid-air.

"Take this damn book back! And cancel this cursed transformation you put on me! I'm leaving this godforsaken place right now!"

"Oh my, why is my dear disciple getting so upset?"

Ling Xin floated in the air, laughing so hard she was doubled over. Her heartless appearance made one want to punch her twice.

"Revered Master is doing this for your own good. Look, even before the secret manual has been given out, you're already enjoying the blessing of multiple beauties. Three girls as beautiful as flowers are fighting over you—if word of this reached the Inner Realm, who knows how many Immortals would be envious."

Ling Xin stopped laughing, and the pink-glowing 'The Great Freedom Yin-Yang Creation Heavenly Scripture' in her hand flipped through a couple of pages.

"Disciple, Revered Master is not joking with you. Although your body has now reconstructed its Earth Immortal Foundation, it is like a newly expanded reservoir with very little water.

If you encounter high-ranking Immortals who have mastered complete Laws, they only need to give you a little nudge, and your empty Meridians will completely collapse.

You must practice this secret manual. And you must find the most suitable person to practice it with."

Ling Xin's gaze once again swept over the three women below.

"The red-haired little girl has a fiery temper, but her Mahayana Stage blood and Qi are indeed vigorous. She's a good choice for filling the void in your Physical Body."

"The little girl who plays with poison has a special Physique. Her Origin, having been baptized by ten thousand poisons, can greatly enhance your resistance to various Law pollutions."

"As for this Hehuan Sect Cauldron... though her cultivation is low, she has the advantage of professional expertise, which can minimize the pain during your cultivation process."

Ling Xin stroked her chin, seemingly falling into a serious bout of indecision.

"These three each have their own merits. Whom should I choose?"

"Grandmaster! Choose me! Hong Ling's body is the sturdiest; I'll definitely satisfy the Old Man!" Su Hongling immediately raised her hand and loudly promoted herself.

"Grandmaster, please judge. Weiwei's Medicine Immortal Origin is the most compatible with Revered Master's current state." Chu Weiwei was not to be outdone, her purple eyes full of longing.

Although Yan Rusi did not dare to shout like the other two, she silently straightened her back, trying to show her advantage as a professional.

Sandwiched in the middle, Su Lin felt like a piece of merchandise on a shelf waiting to be sold, and the three buyers were all the type who would draw a blade at any moment.

Stimulated by the various scents continuously emitted by the three women, the nameless evil fire within him was rising at an extremely violent speed.

He could even feel his vision beginning to blur. The cold underground cavern now seemed to be covered in an ambiguous pink haze.

"No... I absolutely cannot let things follow this old woman's script!"

Su Lin bit the tip of his tongue, using that slight sting and the taste of blood to forcibly gather his last bits of clarity.

He suddenly mobilized the [Myriad Heavens Star Chart] deep within his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to use the Chaos Immortal Qi emitted by the world tree sapling to forcibly wash away the bizarre transformation Ling Xin had left in his Meridians.

"Eh?"

Ling Xin, sensing the movement within Su Lin, let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

"Good lad, you can actually use the power of your inner world to resist my Law? It seems you haven't lived in vain."

A look of admiration appeared on Ling Xin's illusory face, but her movements did not stop.

"However, there is no reason for me to take back something I've given away."

She flicked her finger, and the pink-glowing 'The Great Freedom Yin-Yang Creation Heavenly Scripture' turned into a streak of light, falling straight down from the air.

"Since all three of you want it, then use your own abilities. Whoever gets this secret manual shall become my dear disciple's Dual Cultivation Dao Companion!"

"Whoever gets it, owns it?!"

Su Hongling and Chu Weiwei cried out in surprise at the same time, their eyes instantly locking onto the falling pink ancient book.

This wasn't just fighting over a book; this was fighting for the ownership of their Revered Master!

"It's mine!"

Su Hongling roared, her legs kicking off the ground. The powerful explosive force stomped a huge crater into the sapphire floor as she shot upward like a reverse-flying cannonball toward the book.

She didn't consider any technique; her mind was filled with only one thought: get the book, then fight the Old Man for ten days and nights!

"Second Senior Sister, don't you dare think you'll succeed!"

Chu Weiwei naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Su Hongling take the lead. Her body became extremely light, like a purple butterfly darting through the air.

She knew she couldn't compete with Su Hongling in speed and explosive power, so she decisively adopted a flanking tactic.

Dozens of jade bottles filled with strange powders flew from her sleeves, exploding in mid-air.

"Dreamlike Illusion, Bone-Softening Miasma!"

Large clouds of pinkish-purple smoke instantly spread, completely blocking Su Hongling's upward path.

While this poisonous miasma wasn't fatal, it could cause one to lose muscle control in an instant, becoming weak and limp.

"Chu the Third! You dare play dirty!"

Su Hongling plunged into the poison mist and immediately felt her limbs go numb. She roared and swung her great sword, trying to blow the mist away, but the heavy wind from her sword only helped the mist spread further.

Yan Rusi stood below, watching these two Female Demon Lords fighting over the right to dual Cultivate, a flash of anxiety in her eyes.

She knew her cultivation was low and she couldn't get involved in a battle of this level. But if these two laypeople got the secret manual, with Senior Su's current sensitive and fragile state, they would definitely drive him to Qi Deviation.

"I must think of a way..."

Yan Rusi bit her lower lip, her eyes quickly searching the surroundings.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon Su Lin.

At this moment, Su Lin was in the midst of an agonizing struggle.

Because he had forcibly mobilized the power of his inner world to resist Ling Xin's Law of transformation, a tragic tug-of-war had formed between the two forces within him.

His skin was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. Every breath caused his entire body's Meridians to send waves of trembling numbness through him.

He was like an exquisite jade carving—complete on the surface, but internally riddled with cracks. Any slight external force would cause him to completely shatter.

Seeing her chance, Yan Rusi didn't go for the book. Instead, she quietly circled behind Su Lin.

She took a deep breath and activated the Hehuan Sect's top-tier [Qi Guidance Art].

This technique had no offensive power; its only function was to extremely gently guide and soothe the rampaging spiritual energy within another person's body.

Yan Rusi extended two slender fingers and lightly tapped the Mingmen point on Su Lin's back.

"Senior Su, forgive my presumption. Rusi will now soothe your Meridians for you."
