70: Chapter 70 Dual Cultivation Significantly Enhances Skill

Master Bai Yuxue's eyes widened abruptly, and an unbelievable shock erupted from the depths of her gaze!

She clearly felt that the pitch-black, sinister, and venomous injury that had been entrenched deep within her Dantian for three years was actually fading and repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Meridians, previously withered and clogged by the erosion of the evil poison, were washed clear by this power of the Origin, and her depleted cultivation Foundation was rapidly being replenished.

The heavy, near-death sensation and pain that had accumulated for three years were rapidly dissipating.

Replacing them was a long-lost sense of ease and relief!

What made Master Bai Yuxue tremble with even greater shock was this:

Her cultivation, which had been stagnant for three years, was actually beginning to climb slowly and steadily amidst this intimacy!

Wisps of incredibly pure Mystic Power gathered within her Dantian, transforming into a vast, warm current that continuously washed against the barriers of her cultivation.

The Bottleneck that had plagued her for three years actually showed faint signs of loosening!

Master Bai Yuxue's slender hands tightly gripped the velvet blanket beneath her, her knuckles turning white.

She tilted her head slightly, staring blankly at the youth on top of her, who was tireless and had his eyes tightly shut.

Sweat slid down Ye Yun's jawline, dripping onto her skin and sending a wave of fine tremors through her.

In her thirty-plus years of cultivation, she had seen countless peerless geniuses and possessed countless rare treasures; her vision had long surpassed that of her peers.

Yet she had never seen, nor even heard of, any Physique that could be so Heaven-Defying to this extent—

She had originally only intended to rely on the Pure Yang Qi to save her life and suppress the evil poison, never expecting it could directly repair her Origin injuries.

It even helped push her to break through the cultivation Bottleneck that had stalled for three years!

This youth who had just joined the sect was hardly just a simple Pure Yang Body.

He was simply a life-saving treasure bestowed upon her by the heavens, her only hope to break free from death and return to her Peak!

The shock in her heart was tumultuous, and her gaze toward Ye Yun...

...gradually shifted from the initial calculation for survival to a complex throb of emotion and a desire to possess him that was etched into her very bones.

Master Bai Yuxue gently raised her slender arms, wrapping them around Ye Yun's neck, and pressed her burning cheek against his warm shoulder.

Feeling the evil poison within her body rapidly dissipate and her cultivation slowly rise, a satisfied and obsessed smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her lips.

From now on, this youth named Ye Yun was her disciple, and even more, her reverse scale.

He was the person Master Bai Yuxue would risk everything to protect by her side; no one should think of touching him, and no one should think of harming him.

...

I do not know how much time had passed, but the chill of the deep night had been completely dispelled by the warmth filling the room. The faint light of dawn filtered through the lattice of the bamboo house, gently falling upon the canopy, outlining a hazy and tender halo.

The medicinal effect completely faded. Ye Yun had exhausted all his strength, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

Finally unable to resist the exhaustion, he fell into a deep sleep.

Yet his arms still subconsciously held the warm softness beside him tightly, unwilling to let go.

The next day.

Warm yellow light pierced through the thin canopy and fell onto Ye Yun's eyelids, bringing a faint itch.

Ye Yun's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and after struggling for a long while, he finally opened his eyes slowly.

What met his eyes was the familiar bamboo ceiling, and the tip of his nose was lingering with a faint scent of orchids.

It was mixed with a hint of ambiguous, cloying sweetness, which felt both unfamiliar and unsettling.

The next second, an intense soreness like a tsunami instantly swept through his entire body!

His limbs and bones felt as if they had been dismantled and reassembled; he felt sore, swollen, and powerless, and even lifting a single finger felt arduous.

Especially around his waist, abdomen, and the sides of his Dantian, waves of extreme emptiness and soreness were transmitted.

It was as if all his essence, blood, and Mystic Power had been drained away, leaving him weak to the extreme.

A feeling of being completely hollowed out filled his limbs and bones, making him unable to help but grimace and gasp in cold air.

"Hiss, it hurts so much..."

Ye Yun murmured in a low voice, his brows tightly knitted together, as he struggled to sit up.

But the moment he exerted force, the soreness all over his body struck like needle pricks, causing him to instantly collapse back onto the bed, unable to move.

His mind was in Chaos; the memories of last night were fragmented, leaving only scattered pieces.

Becoming Master Bai Yuxue's disciple, accepting the spirit tea she handed him, the unbearable heat all over his body, his blurred consciousness, rushing into a warm and soft embrace, the endless burning and intimacy...

The fragments danced chaotically in his mind, but he could not piece together the complete sequence of events, leaving only the soreness throughout his body and an inexplicable sense of panic.

[What on earth happened to me? Why am I so sore all over to this extent? Where is this?]

Ye Yun was extremely puzzled and desperately tried to recall the details of last night.

But the more he tried to recall, the more his head felt dizzy and swollen, leaving only a blank space; the more he thought, the more confused he became.

Just as he was utterly baffled and feeling physically uncomfortable...

A cold and mechanical System notification suddenly exploded in Ye Yun's mind, crystal clear.

It instantly dispelled all his Chaos, fatigue, and confusion!

[Ding! Detected that the host's Dual Cultivation has ended!]

[Triggered critical hit multiplier: 3x (Normal critical hit)!]

[Plundered target's cultivation + self combat insights + 5x critical hit multiplier, cultivation is continuously improving...]

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Great Martial Master Realm Fourth Level!]

[Host's current cultivation: Great Martial Artist Fourth Level Early Stage!]

[Extra rewards: Physical Body strength increased by 50%, Mystic Power control precision increased by 100%, "Setting Sun Fist" proficiency reached Perfection!]

The System's voice, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, echoed repeatedly in Ye Yun's mind, making his brain buzz.

His entire body instantly froze in place, his pupils dilating abruptly.

His face was full of disbelief, and he even temporarily forgot the soreness all over his body!

Great Martial Artist... Fourth Level?!

Ye Yun subconsciously circulated his Mystic Power and looked inward at his Dantian.

He saw that the Mystic Power, which was originally only a thin wisp, had now transformed into a surging, roaring river.

It flowed wantonly through his Meridians, thick, pure, and vast—more than three times stronger than before!

The Mystic Core within his Dantian shone brilliantly, steadily fixed at the Great Martial Artist Fourth Level Early Stage Realm, without the slightest instability, incredibly solid!

He remembered clearly that his cultivation yesterday was only at the Great Martial Artist First Level Peak!

In just a short day, he had actually gone directly from the Great Martial Artist First Level and broken through three levels in succession.

Soaring to the Great Martial Artist Fourth Level Early Stage?!

This speed of improvement was simply shocking and inconceivable, enough to overturn the understanding of the entire cultivation world!

What made Ye Yun even more ecstatic was that a massive amount of combat insights instantly flooded into his mind.

The originally obscure and incomplete first three forms of the "Setting Sun Fist."

At this moment, they suddenly became clear in his mind; every move, every form, and the operation of every wisp of Mystic Power were completely mastered.

They perfectly matched his Physical Body and Mystic Power, reaching the Perfection Realm of pure mastery!

Even his control precision over Mystic Power and the strength of his Physical Body had received an all-around explosive increase.

At this moment, even without using his cultivation, relying solely on his Physical Body, Ye Yun could easily crush a Great Martial Artist Second Level Cultivator!
