80: Chapter 80 Hehe~ Master, don't be shy~

[In the host's nine lotus treasure lamp, the Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds have not yet fully transformed. Breaking through to the Golden Core now will prevent the host from maximizing potential, which is detrimental to the host's future cultivation Realm!]

Chen Yan shook his head, not intending to follow the System's arrangements:

"What is potential? Only by surviving does one have the qualification to speak of potential!"

"As for the future you speak of?"

He lifted his head, a confident smile appearing on his face:

"Since I could receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao during Foundation Establishment, why can't I do the same when breaking through to the Golden Core?"

"During Qi Refining, I had nothing. Now, at the very least, I have the nine lotus treasure lamp, the Five Elements Sword Intent, and the blessing of Dao Rhyme!"

"I believe that as long as I keep moving forward, my potential will always be there!"

"And my future is for me to decide!"

A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and he chuckled:

"Could it be that you, System, don't even have confidence in yourself?"

The System could not answer this question.

It could issue tasks, allowing the host to grow according to the most perfect path.

But it could not stop the host from having his own ideas!

In the end, the System provided a solution that wasn't really a solution!

[The host can randomly fuse the remaining four Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds with Divine Abilities to maximize the effect of the Dao Rhyme!]

"Holy crap? You can do that? Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"

Upon seeing the System's prompt, Chen Yan's expression changed instantly!

His eyes were full of complaints, yet he wore an expression as if he had profited greatly!

He had always thought that Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds could only be fused with sword techniques!

"Hehe, I almost wasted them!"

He introspected the four lotus seeds on the lotus platform, calculating in his mind which four Divine Abilities he should fuse them with.

Other than sword techniques, the Divine Abilities he had already learned were only:

Breath Concealment Technique; Alchemy Sword Technique; All-Things Synthesis Technique; Yi Qi Alchemy Technique; Xuantian Appraisal Technique.

As well as the newly acquired Earth Rank movement technique: Cloud-Stepping Moon-Chasing Movement Technique; Earth Rank Divine Ability: Palm Thunder!

He needed to choose four Divine Abilities from these to fuse with the Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, and a decision was already made in his heart!

The Alchemy Sword Technique, being his strongest means of killing enemies across ranks, was a must-choose!

The Cloud-Stepping Moon-Chasing movement technique was also necessary for survival!

Palm Thunder, as an Earth Rank Divine Ability, should also have a place!

As for the last remaining Dao Rhyme Lotus Seed, Chen Yan intended to fuse it with the Xuantian Appraisal Technique!

Because the further he progressed, the more he discovered the extraordinary nature of the Appraisal Technique!

Any item, just by glancing at it, could be generally understood!

Even an old monster at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage like Qingluan could have its Realm seen through.

So he wouldn't foolishly rush in!

Chen Yan acted immediately!

He immediately sat cross-legged, silently reciting the Divine Ability incantations in his heart, guiding the Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds in the lotus platform to fuse with the Divine Abilities!

"Hum~"

While he was fusing the Dao Rhyme, Leng Qingshuang also maintained a state of meditative cultivation.

Time passed quietly...

Until the 8th day!

Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, on the lotus platform within his body, all nine Dao Rhyme Lotus Seeds had been successfully fused with Divine Abilities!

Besides the Five Elements Flying Sword, there was one Alchemy, one Thunder, one Cloud, and one Appraisal.

He let out a long sigh and exclaimed.

"I didn't expect that fusing Divine Abilities would be so much more troublesome than fusing sword techniques!"

The four Divine Abilities actually took him 8 days!

Fortunately, everything went smoothly!

He looked up and immediately turned his gaze toward Leng Qingshuang.

Then.

Chen Yan saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He saw the cyan light barrier tremble slightly before instantly dissipating.

Leng Qingshuang sat upright within it, slowly opening her eyes.

In those eyes, cyan light flickered, like the bright moon of the Nine Heavens.

Her entire aura had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change at this moment.

The cold and otherworldly air remained, but it now carried an added... ethereal and lively quality.

As if she might ride the wind and depart at any moment.

"Ma... Revered Master?"

Leng Qingshuang did not answer.

She slowly turned her head and looked into the distance.

The air shimmered, and a wind blade silently cut through the void.

"Swish"

A hundred feet away, a rock several feet in size was directly sliced in two.

In Chen Yan's surprised gaze, the rock slowly slid apart along the cut surface.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror!

"Wind Spirit Intent... So that's how it is!"

Leng Qingshuang looked at the boulder and murmured softly.

Only then did she turn her head to look at Chen Yan, her face full of bright, spring-like radiance.

Those cold eyes actually carried a hint of a smile.

"Chen Yan, you did very well!"

Chen Yan looked at his Revered Master, whose smile was like a flower, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Revered Master... actually smiled?

And, Revered Master praised him?

Holy crap!?

Should he not seize the opportunity?

He became instantly excited, jogged over, and leaped directly toward his Revered Master: "Revered Master~ You scared your Disciple to death~"

While in mid-air, he had already planned everything in his heart.

"It's rare for Revered Master to be in such a good mood. If I take this chance to dive into her embrace, she shouldn't refuse, right?"

"If I hug Revered Master's waist tightly in a moment, it should be fine, right?"

"Or, if I'm a bit bolder, I could touch Revered Master's thighs, rub against Revered Master's big breasts~"

"Using this opportunity to cry and complain about the hardships of these past few days, if Revered Master's heart softens, she shouldn't kill me, right?"

"Hehehehe~"

"Revered Master is suddenly so gentle today. Does this mean if I try a little harder, I can open Revered Master's heart?"

"Revered Master's Dao Heart shouldn't be stable yet, right? Can I continue that shy Dual Cultivation with Revered Master again?"

Leng Qingshuang watched Chen Yan, who was deliberately pouncing over, her eyelids twitching.

The face that had just been bright and spring-like instantly turned dark.

This Rebellious Disciple!

She had just praised him once, and he was already pushing his luck, thinking only of rebellious things!

Touching thighs, rubbing big... Bah!

Lecherous Disciple!

And talking about opening her heart, and that shy Dual Cultivation!

Don't even think about it!

She glared at Chen Yan in shy anger, a flash of cyan light appearing in her eyes.

A wisp of breeze brushed past Chen Yan, directly freezing him in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward!

Chen Yan: "???"

He made a bitter face and said aggrievedly: "Revered Master, let me down! I was just too happy to see that you had recovered!"

"That's all! I swear!"

Leng Qingshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Bah!

If I couldn't hear the inner voice of you, Rebellious Disciple, I would have almost believed it!

She let Chen Yan down, suppressed the shy anger in her heart, stood up, and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Chen Yan grinned and hurriedly followed: "Revered Master, how is the injury to your Dao Heart?"

"Is there some divine technique or Secret Manual inside this wind-fixing bead?"

"Revered Master, has your cultivation Realm recovered now?"

"Revered Master..."

"Revered Master..."

He kept calling "Revered Master," as if he wanted to make up for all the times he hadn't called her that over the past few days!

[Detected Rebellious Disciple behavior from the host, rebellious value + 3888!]

"Shut up!"

Leng Qingshuang really couldn't bear it anymore and snapped at him.

But looking at Chen Yan's innocent and aggrieved expression, and thinking about how this Rebellious Disciple had been silently watching over her all these days alone.

Her expression softened again, even carrying a hint of apology.

After pondering for a moment, she explained to Chen Yan:

"A broken Dao Heart is irreversible, but fortunately, with your Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Ode and the Sword Heart Tempering Method, the decline of my Realm was stopped in time!"

"Now I have completely refined the wind-fixing bead and mastered the second layer of the Wind Spirit Intent!"

Chen Yan's eyes lit up: "The second layer of the Wind Spirit Intent? Is it very strong?"

Leng Qingshuang chuckled and did not hide anything from Chen Yan, saying straightforwardly:

"Just as Senior Qingluan said, the Feng Clan only Cultivates the Physical Body and never Cultivates Realms!"

"Although I am only at the Nascent Soul Stage now, my true strength is not inferior to what it was before!"

"As long as my Physical Body is strong enough to withstand the load of the Wind Spirit Intent, Revered Master can even slay experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!"

Chen Yan instantly gasped.

Slaying Tribulation Transcendence with Nascent Soul?

This Wind Spirit Intent is too Heaven-Defying, right?

But subsequently, he frowned, discovering a blind spot.

Although the Wind Spirit Intent only requires cultivating the Physical Body, a broken Dao Heart will also cause indelible damage to the Physical Body!

There must be a conflict between the two!

"Revered Master!"

Chen Yan suddenly looked at Leng Qingshuang and spoke in a deep voice.

Leng Qingshuang showed a hint of confusion:

"What is it?"

Chen Yan asked seriously: "Revered Master, is your Dao Heart stable now?"

Leng Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away.

"It is... still consolidating!"

Chen Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he grinned:

"Does Revered Master need this Disciple's help?"

Leng Qingshuang's face flushed slightly, and her ear tips felt hot.

"No... no need!"

She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Chen Yan chuckled and hurriedly followed.

"Revered Master, why are you blushing?"

"Rebellious Disciple! You are talking nonsense!"

"Your ear tips are red too!"

"No! Shut up!"

"Revered Master, let me help you~"

"Get lost!"

"Hehe~ Revered Master, don't be shy~"
