He received an invitation to dual cultivation right after becoming the sect leader?

Watching Qu Xiangyang strike so decisively, the Elders and Disciples spectating the scene found it unbelievable.

Li Jianping, at the Peak Star Realm, had really died just like that?

With a fawning smile on his face, Qu Xiangyang looked at Su Ming and spoke, "Lord Su, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

What he worried about most now was Su Ming not accepting his handling of the situation.

After all, Su Ming's attitude determined everything.

If he was unsatisfied, that mysterious Guardian would wipe out everything of the Three Saints Sect.

"If it were you, would you be satisfied?" Su Ming spoke airily.

Hearing this, Qu Xiangyang felt a surge of panic in his heart.

If it was just about killing Li Jianping, Su Ming could have done it himself, couldn't he?

If he wanted the other party to be satisfied, he had to show sincerity.

Qu Xiangyang reached toward Li Jianping's corpse and stripped away everything, including the storage ring.

Not only that, but he also stuffed many treasures unique to the Outer Void inside.

Qu Xiangyang only stopped once the entire storage ring was packed to the brim.

"Inside this is the compensation from my Three Saints Sect to Lord Su."

Qu Xiangyang bowed even lower, circulating his spiritual power to slowly deliver the storage ring into Su Ming's hand.

Upon receiving the ring, Su Ming immediately checked its contents and then revealed a look of surprise.

The compensation given by the other party was truly diverse, with everything from Cultivation Techniques and Magic Treasures to Medicinal Pills.

Looking at the pained expression on the man's face, it was clear he had paid a significant price.

The contents inside could be considered enough to make up for the resources Li Jianping had swindled from him over the past ten-plus years.

However, more than these things, Su Ming was curious about Qu Xiangyang's reaction from his appearance until now.

The man's posture was so lowly it was almost abnormal; it was far too deliberate.

It was as if something was watching him, ready to check his performance at any moment.

Thus, Su Ming directly sent a sound transmission to Qu Xiangyang: "Did you meet someone in the Outer Void?"

Just as Qu Xiangyang was about to answer, the voice of that mysterious Guardian rang in his ear: "If you dare reveal my whereabouts, you can forget about keeping your Physical Body that remains in the Outer Void."

Qu Xiangyang now felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he couldn't afford to offend either Su Ming or this person.

So, should he answer or not?

Fortunately, that voice didn't make things too difficult for him: "Tell him he will know once he passes through the heaven-reaching pagoda."

Hearing this, Qu Xiangyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Su Ming.

"Lord Su, as for whom I met, you will naturally know once you pass through the heaven-reaching pagoda."

Even Uncle Meng didn't know the special significance of the heaven-reaching pagoda to Su Ming, yet the Qu Xiangyang before him told him to go there; this was already very telling.

"He met my parents? Impossible, his strength is definitely not enough to explore a Secret Realm of that level... From Qu Xiangyang's performance, he doesn't know what's inside either."

"The heaven-reaching pagoda concerns my growth; my parents couldn't possibly tell an outsider..."

Thinking of this, Su Ming had an answer.

Perhaps he had another Guardian in the Outer Void.

Qu Xiangyang had run into this Guardian upon his return, which was why he behaved so humbly and wanted to curry favor with him.

Although his guess was likely close to the mark, he would still have to go to the heaven-reaching pagoda to find out the actual situation.

Since the goal was clear, there was no need to continue watching this farce.

Especially after the System gave a prompt.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Three Saints Sect Master Token, killing a key figure in the growth path of a protagonist of destiny, and becoming the true master of the Three Saints Sect. You have obtained 120,000 destiny points.]

"Handle the rest yourselves. Uncle Meng, watch them to prevent anyone from being deceitful."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Su Ming took Luo Ningshuang's hand and turned to leave; he needed to prepare to head to the heaven-reaching pagoda.

On the way back, Su Ming took the sect master token from the storage ring and handed it to Luo Ningshuang.

"What is this for?"

"I'll be going out for a while. It's useless for me to carry this on me, so you take it."

Luo Ningshuang knew this was a sign of Su Ming's concern for her, so she didn't refuse and directly accepted the sect master token.

Suddenly she thought of something, her face flushing red. She leaned into Su Ming's ear and spoke shyly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, "A while ago, the Jade Pool Empress passed me a Dual Cultivation Technique..."

After hearing these words, Su Ming's brain instantly stalled, and he even began to have hallucinatory flashbacks.

When he regained his senses and looked at Luo Ningshuang, he realized her shy appearance was so pretty and moving.

"Isn't—isn't this a bit too early?"

Although he had transmigrated, most of Su Ming's concepts still remained in his past life on Blue Star.

Over there, if one dared to lay a hand on such a young child, they would definitely get their fill of 'peanuts' (bullets).

After all, at the mention of Dual Cultivation, images of two bodies rolling around on a bed had already appeared in Su Ming's mind.

"The Jade Pool Empress told me that this Dual Cultivation Technique can work with the 'Jade Pool Golden Canon' to speed up my cultivation, so..."

Seeing Luo Ningshuang's appearance as a little wife turning her head away in embarrassment made Su Ming's heart race.

Her thoughts were very simple: to catch up with Su Ming's footsteps so she could lend him a hand in the future.

But for the two of them, especially for Su Ming, this kind of thing was indeed still too early.

"Just take it slow, there's no need to be so eager for success. Your talent is not inferior to mine. If anyone's to blame, it's the Jade Pool Empress; if not for her, I would be the one trying to catch up to your cultivation level now."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Luo Ningshuang nodded shyly, feeling both relieved and a slight sense of disappointment in her heart.

So she suddenly said on a whim, "How about... I give this Dual Cultivation Technique to you first, and we use it later?"

Since she had put it that way, wouldn't it be very bad of him to refuse again? So Su Ming replied instantly, "Okay."

The speed of the reply was so fast that even Luo Ningshuang didn't react; she had originally thought Su Ming would refuse.

But since the words had been said, she had no way out.

Thus, she nervously handed over the transcribed Dual Cultivation Technique to Su Ming.

"Yin Yang Heart Revolving Scripture"

That was the name of this Dual Cultivation Technique.

Su Ming silently put it away and led Luo Ningshuang back to the small courtyard on Chenyang Peak.

The latter immediately let go of his hand and quickly ran back to her side room, closing the door.

Su Ming could imagine Luo Ningshuang's bashful look behind the door.

He didn't go to disturb her but returned to his own room and somewhat impatiently took out the "Yin Yang Heart Revolving Scripture."

After carefully checking the contents, Su Ming realized that this Dual Cultivation Technique was completely different from what he had imagined.

Its essence was to guide the spiritual power of both parties to blend with each other and then return to their original bodies.

The entire process was very harmonious, the kind where one didn't even need to take off their clothes.

It didn't even require a specific gender!

As the name implied, it was Dual Cultivation in the literal sense—two people cultivating together; that was exactly what Dual Cultivation was.

[Host, your mood seems to be a bit low right now.]
