92: Chapter 92 Golden Elixir as Bait
The playful look on Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's face gradually faded, replaced by a touch of resentment and anticipation.
Suddenly, she reached out her soft, jade-like hand and gently tugged on Li Yifei's sleeve. A layer of mist rose in her beautiful starry eyes, and in a coquettish, heartbreaking tone, she said pitifully:
"However, Junior Brother must help me too. I... I also want to advance to the Golden Core stage."
She gently shook Li Yifei's arm, her plump, delicate body leaning forward slightly. The softness of her chest inadvertently brushed against his arm, bringing a startling sensation of elasticity.
"Junior Brother, do you know? I've been stuck at Foundation Establishment Perfection for twenty years! A full twenty years!" Her voice carried a hint of trembling and unwillingness. "I've tried countless methods and swallowed innumerable Medicinal Pills, but that threshold is like a natural chasm that I just can't cross. Seeing that Junior Sister Qinghan is about to catch up to me, and Revered Master has such high expectations... I'm really... really so unwilling!"
"I heard everything you said in the main hall." She lifted her tearful, beautiful eyes and looked at Li Yifei movingly. "Junior Brother, you must have a way, right? As long as you can help me achieve Core Formation, you... you can do whatever you want with me..."
By the end, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and her elegant, noble celestial face was already flushed with an intoxicating crimson glow.
Facing Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's tearful and moving appearance, and feeling the incredible touch on his arm along with the undisguised desire in her words, even with Li Yifei's steady Heart-Nature, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
This Eldest Martial Sister, who appeared elegant, noble, and holy to outsiders, was now revealing her truest and most vulnerable side.
The road to longevity is long, and the Golden Core is a natural chasm.
The pain and resentment of being trapped at a Bottleneck for decades were enough to make any favored daughter of heaven cast aside all her reserve and pride.
Li Yifei understood clearly; the fish had completely taken the bait.
But he didn't immediately cast out the decisive bait.
He reached back and grasped Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's soft, jade-like hand. His palm was warm, but his tone became more serious than ever: "Eldest Martial Sister, this is... not the place for a detailed discussion."
Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang was slightly startled, then immediately understood Li Yifei's concerns.
Although Ni Chang Peak was her territory, it had many eyes and ears. Even though she had dismissed all the maids, who could guarantee there weren't spies planted by other Sects or Divine Senses peeking in unintentionally?
A treasure capable of assisting in Core Formation was of immeasurable value. Once the news leaked, things would become complicated.
She had been too impatient.
At the thought of this, Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's cheeks turned even redder, out of both shyness and a hint of lingering fear.
"It was Senior Sister who was reckless," she lowered her head and apologized in a low voice.
"It's fine." Li Yifei patted the back of her hand reassuringly, the smooth and delicate touch making his mind ripple slightly.
"I understand Senior Sister's urgency. How about this? At the Hour of the Pig tonight, please come to my Yifei Peak. There, we can calmly discuss the matter of the 'Golden Core Great Dao'."
Only within his Third-Rank Grand Formation, which was strong enough to trap and kill a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, did Li Yifei feel a sufficient sense of security.
"Alright, I'll listen to everything Junior Brother says." Hearing this, the flame of hope ignited again in Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's beautiful eyes, and she nodded vigorously.
After some back and forth, Li Yifei ultimately suppressed the urge to take this stunning Senior Sister into his arms right then and there, making an excuse to take his leave first.
He had to ensure that everything tonight would be under his absolute control.
...
Night fell, and starlight scattered down.
Inside the main hall of Yifei Peak, the lights were brightly lit.
A carefully prepared banquet had just ended. To host the arrival of the Eldest Martial Sister, Li Yifei had specifically ordered the peak's maids to prepare the finest Spiritual Food and delicacies.
By now, the maids had already cleared everything away and bowed as they withdrew. In the vast hall, only Li Yifei and Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang remained once again.
Unlike the flirtatious atmosphere of the pavilion in the middle of the lake during the day, the main hall of Yifei Peak, under the shroud of the Third-Rank Grand Formation, was isolated from all external prying. It had become a world of its own, providing a sense of absolute peace and privacy.
Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang sat at the table, but her heart was already in her throat. She could feel that the moment that would decide her future destiny was about to arrive.
Seeing her nervous yet expectant look, Li Yifei stopped keeping her in suspense.
With a flick of his wrist, a warm jade box appeared in his palm.
As the jade box opened, a brilliant and dazzling golden light instantly burst forth, illuminating the entire hall in a radiant gold!
An indescribable and mysterious pill fragrance spread out. Just taking a single breath made Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang feel that the magic power in her body, which had been stagnant for twenty years, actually showed a sign of loosening!
Her breathing completely stopped at that moment!
Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the Medicinal Pill lying quietly in the jade box.
It was a golden Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, perfectly round all over. On the body of the pill, nine mysterious and complex pill veins had naturally formed!
The Medicinal Pill itself seemed to possess life, bobbing slightly in the golden light and emitting a warm yet majestic medicinal power.
"Nine... Nine-Revolution Pill Veins... This... This is... a perfect quality Third-Rank golden origin pill?!"
Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's voice became hoarse and trembling due to extreme shock, and her elegant, noble celestial face was filled with an expression of disbelief.
As the Eldest Martial Sister of the Profound Ice Palace, she was well-versed and naturally knew the grades of Medicinal Pills.
But she never dreamed that in her lifetime, she would actually see the legendary... perfect quality golden origin pill that only existed in ancient texts!
At this moment, she finally understood why Li Yifei could boast about helping the lineage of the Profound Ice Palace forge a Golden Core Great Dao!
Having such a Heaven-Defying divine object, the success rate of Core Formation was more than just significantly improved; it was practically a certainty!
She discovered that she completely couldn't see through this Junior Brother of hers; he was like a bottomless vortex.
After the shock, Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang's gaze became incredibly fiery. It was an extreme desire for the Dao, enough to burn away all reason.
Her breathing was rapid, her full chest heaving violently. Her starry eyes were locked tightly on Li Yifei as she asked with a trembling voice, "I wonder... what does Junior Brother want?"
"Doesn't Eldest Martial Sister know?"
Li Yifei smiled slightly, stepped forward slowly, and pulled her soft, delicate body into his arms.
Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang gave a soft cry, her body going soft as she fell into his firm chest.
The impact of the Medicinal Pill and the masculine scent emanating from the man made her whole body hot and her mind a mess.
