727: It's him! He's here!

Sensing Yao Delong's aura, Qiong Shuang's ice-blue vertical pupils instantly lit up, as if she had discovered a Treasure Trove!

With a "whoosh," she sprang from the soft couch and appeared beside Yao Delong as if teleporting, grabbing his arm without any hesitation.

"Big Brother! You're back!" Qiong Shuang's voice was crisp and pleasant, filled with undisguised intimacy and admiration.

She tilted her head, leaning in to sniff Yao Delong carefully, and then an even stronger light of pleasant surprise erupted in her large eyes:

"Wow! Big Brother, you really have been promoted to the Void Refining Realm! That's amazing!" Her expression was just like a small beast discovering its master had brought back a delicious treat.

Immediately after, she extended her fair, jade-like hand, which contained terrifying power. With her palm facing up and her large eyes blinking, she spoke with a hint of coquettishness and a desire to please:

"Big Brother, Big Brother, the 'Ice Soul Profound Pill' candy beans you gave me last time... they're all gone! Won't you refine a few more batches for me, please?"

In that state, she didn't have even a hint of the majesty of a Ninth-grade Yao Sovereign; she was the spitting image of a little girl begging for candy.

She even began to proactively massage Yao Delong's shoulders. Her movements were a bit clumsy, but her attitude was extremely attentive: "Big Brother is the best! Please refine them for me!"

Yao Delong couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Qiong Shuang's behavior.

This Ancient Heavenly Flood Dragon, who had lived for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years, had become quite familiar with him.

Especially after tasting his "special" "candy beans" that could purify Bloodline and accelerate growth, she had completely turned into a gluttonous "little foodie."

"Alright," Yao Delong agreed readily. For his current wealth, these few Medicinal Pills were not even a drop in the bucket.

With a thought, the purple-gold Pill Furnace in the Immortal Cave, inscribed with countless profound runes, opened with a boom.

"I'm out of stock, so I'll refine a few batches now."

Hearing this, Qiong Shuang immediately cheered for joy: "That's great! Long live Big Brother!"

She put even more effort into kneading Yao Delong's shoulders, though that bit of force was like scratching an itch to him.

Yao Delong gave a casual wave, and a mountain of ice-attribute high-level Spirit Medicine appeared beside the Pill Furnace. The youngest among them was at least a thousand years old!

Among them were several stalks of Ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Dragon Saliva Grass and Extreme Cold Star Pith Flowers that emitted the aura of an Ice Dragon.

When refining pills for a Yao Beast like Qiong Shuang, who had thick skin and a powerful Bloodline, there was no need to be too meticulous about the complex "Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy" herbal combinations.

The core was to purify the essence of the medicinal power, remove the violent pill toxins, and then use a powerful Heterogeneous Fire to harmonize it, making it easy to absorb!

Yao Delong pointed his fingers like a sword, and streaks of pure Yin and Yang spiritual power transformed into profound runes that were struck into the Pill Furnace.

Inside the furnace, nine types of terrifying Divine Fires of different colors and attributes, yet perfectly fused, instantly ignited!

Those precious Spirit Medicines were drawn into the furnace as if by an invisible hand. Wrapped in the nine-colored flames,

Impurities were instantly incinerated into nothingness, leaving only the purest ice-attribute medicinal power Origin!

In just a short while, the furnace lid opened with a "buzz"!

Whoosh—!

Dozens of pills, the size of dragon eyes and crystal clear like the purest blue profound ice, with wisps of white cold mist swirling on their surfaces, flew out in succession!

Each one radiated extremely pure Ice Soul energy and a faint dragon prestige! They were seventh-grade top-quality Ice Soul Profound Pills!

Their quality far exceeded any similar pills circulating on the market!

Yao Delong casually took out a Warm Jade Gourd, put all dozens of pills into it, and tossed it to the eagerly watching Qiong Shuang:

"Here, eat them sparingly. Where did Junior Sister and the others go?"

Qiong Shuang grabbed the Warm Jade Gourd as if she were holding a peerless treasure. She couldn't wait to pour out a pill and pop it into her mouth.

She squinted her eyes and chewed with a look of enjoyment, not forgetting to reply to Yao Delong's previous question in a muffled voice:

"Mmm... delicious! Sister Lin went to handle the promotion assessment matters for the Peak's Disciples.

Sister Luo... she seemed to say she was going to Heavenly Sword Peak or some other peak to look around. She said she wanted to see if there were any novel Artifact Refining Materials..."

Yao Delong nodded upon hearing this. To promote his Void Refining cultivation, he needed to add points to his Cultivation Technique, but the demand for the core "yin yang points" had also risen!

Right now, the target near him who most needed to stabilize their cultivation, raise their Realm, and was suitable for "Cultivation"... His eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to gently rub Qiong Shuang's smooth forehead: "I see. Take your time eating. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, without waiting for Qiong Shuang to respond, his figure transformed into an almost transparent spatial ripple and silently disappeared from the Immortal Cave.

His direction was aimed straight for—Heavenly Sword Peak!

The spatial ripple smoothed out like water in Yao Delong's Immortal Cave. His figure had completely vanished, leaving only Qiong Shuang holding the Warm Jade Gourd,

curled up on the soft couch like a satisfied cat, enjoying the wonderful taste of the "candy beans" one by one.

Outside Liu Rumei's Immortal Cave at Heavenly Sword Peak.

Yao Delong's figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost, without the slightest spatial fluctuation, as if he should have been standing there all along.

Although the Sect's core area space was exceptionally stable, suppressing the distance and fluctuations of teleportation,

for Yao Delong, who was already at the Void Refining stage and possessed the power of Yin and Yang Origin, this kind of short-distance "Void Flicker" was as natural as breathing.

That familiar and scorching aura, full of aggression and vitality like a magnificent sun, suddenly descended!

Inside the Immortal Cave, in the Secret Chamber, Liu Rumei was circulating her Cultivation Technique, trying to suppress that inexplicable trace of heat in her heart. Her delicate body suddenly trembled!

Those peach blossom eyes, which were originally half-closed and filled with seductive charm, instantly snapped open, erupting with amazing brilliance!

It's him! He's here!

Liu Rumei didn't even have time to tidy her appearance. Her figure was like a streak of red flowing fire as she instantly rushed out of the Immortal Cave.

When she saw that familiar figure dressed in a black Daoist robe, standing tall like a pine tree with a smirk on his lips,

a bright smile that could make a hundred flowers lose their color instantly bloomed on her face. There was nothing else in her eyes, only the man who haunted her dreams!

"You jerk!"

Liu Rumei's voice carried a hint of trembling reproach and an uncontrollable, immense joy. Her entire person transformed into a mass of scorching fire clouds,

carrying a fragrant wind, and crashed fiercely into Yao Delong's arms!

Her plump and soft body pressed tightly against him, her arms circling his waist in a death grip, as if she wanted to rub him into her own body.

"Hmph! You've been back for so long, yet you didn't know to come find me first! You don't know how much I missed you! My heart was about to break from longing!"

She buried her head in the crook of Yao Delong's neck, greedily sniffing the masculine aura that made her heart race. Her tone was full of grievance and accusation.

Yao Delong felt the passion and attachment of the warm and fragrant jade in his arms. His large hand naturally stroked her smooth back, and his low laughter was full of magnetism:

"Hehe, aren't I here now? I didn't delay for a moment. Come, let your your husband see how my Rumei's cultivation has progressed recently. Have you been lazy?"

These suggestive words made Liu Rumei's whole body go limp. She gave Yao Delong a seductive look and said coquettishly:

"Hmph! Bad man! You only know how to find ways to bully me..." Her lotus-like arms circled Yao Delong's neck, and her hot red lips actively pressed against his. Carrying the alluring aura unique to the Extreme Yin Charming Body that made one's blood boil, she panted indistinctly:

"But... This Servant likes being bullied by you... bully me... hard..."

That fiery kiss was like lighting a powder keg. Yao Delong gave a low growl, completely disregarding that it was still broad daylight outside the Immortal Cave door!

With a slight movement of spatial power, the figures of the two instantly vanished from the spot. In the next moment, they appeared on the warm couch in the Secret Chamber, which was filled with an ambiguous fragrance!
