77: Chapter 77 Punishing the Master!

The sun was high in the sky.

The inner chamber of the Main Hall was still filled with the lingering warmth of spring.

Ice-blue cold Qi and crimson Solar Essence intertwined and entangled in mid-air.

Finally, they dissipated into specks of spiritual light around the bed.

Leng Qingyue sat cross-legged.

The characteristics of her Top-grade Ice Spirit Body were fully stimulated after her Core Formation.

Her originally cold and ethereal temperament now possessed an even more unattainable and inviolable Immortal Qi.

Her skin was even more delicate and translucent than the finest mutton-fat jade.

As the final surge of majestic spiritual power completed its major circulation within her body.

Leng Qingyue's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

After circling in mid-air, the pure ice-blue currents poured back into her Dantian.

The cold Qi that had previously been uncontrollably leaking from her body was now completely restrained.

Her cultivation naturally and steadily settled at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Stage.

Her Realm was completely stabilized.

Cao Kun leaned against the headboard.

Watching Leng Qingyue in his arms, who was closing her eyes to regulate her breath, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

After Core Formation, this woman was truly different from before.

This amazing tactile sensation.

This exaggerated feedback of spiritual power.

This terrifying resilience of her Meridians.

It was simply superb!

Cao Kun let out a satisfied breath.

The Blazing Sun Spiritual Root paired with the Top-grade Ice Spirit Body was truly the top-tier configuration for Dual Cultivation.

This feeling, only those who have experienced it would know.

Although the previous Leng Qingyue also had a Top-grade Ice Spirit Body, her Meridians at the Foundation Establishment Stage were ultimately fragile.

They could not withstand the overbearing Solar Essence and Chaos Qi within Cao Kun's body.

Every time they practiced Dual Cultivation, Cao Kun had to be careful and hold back his strength, fearing that he might break this exquisite piece of porcelain.

But now, it was different.

Her Physical Body at the Golden Core Stage had been baptized by the Lightning Tribulation, and her Meridians were wide and tough.

The Void Ice Core could continuously provide extremely pure, frigid spiritual power.

Ice and fire merged, Yin and Yang complemented each other.

This collision of spiritual power where they could completely let go made Cao Kun exclaim in satisfaction.

That grade 6 barrier-breaking pill and the top-tier grade 5 spirit nourishing pill were worth every bit of the cost.

A moment later.

Leng Qingyue slowly opened her eyes.

Those cold eyes were now shimmering with moisture and filled with tenderness.

Like an obedient kitten, she snuggled into Cao Kun's arms.

She pressed her burning cheek against Cao Kun's sturdy chest.

Listening to his powerful heartbeat.

"Senior Brother..."

Leng Qingyue's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of drowsiness from just waking up.

"Qingyue's cultivation has been completely stabilized."

Cao Kun smirked and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Stabilized?"

"Since your cultivation is stabilized."

"Then now, shouldn't it be your turn to help Senior Brother stabilize his cultivation?"

Leng Qingyue blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

She didn't seem to quite understand Cao Kun's meaning.

"I was the one doing the work just now, helping you guide the cold Qi."

Cao Kun leaned into her ear, lowered his voice, and spoke in an extremely ambiguous tone.

"This time, you take the top."

He thought that...

Who would have thought that Leng Qingyue would actually ignite with high Battle Intent!

Looking at her serious expression, Cao Kun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This little girl Qingyue is truly a hidden Treasure Trove of a girl!

"Come on, let Senior Brother see your skills after Core Formation."

...

Another bout of spiritual power merging ensued.

The temperature in the inner chamber climbed once again.

After all, Leng Qingyue had just formed her Top-grade Golden Core.

Her internal spiritual power reserves were shockingly vast.

Every time the Void Ice Core rotated rhythmically, it released a massive amount of pure spiritual power.

These spiritual powers flowed along the connected Meridians of the two into Cao Kun's body.

The Chaos Unity Art within Cao Kun's body was like an insatiable black hole.

It started to operate automatically.

It rejected nothing.

It swallowed all the freezing spiritual power transmitted by Leng Qingyue and then transformed it into Chaos Qi.

Under the nourishment of this vast spiritual power.

Cao Kun's Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, which had only just stabilized a short while ago.

Actually started to surge upwards again at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The purple-gold Golden Core within his Dantian became even more dazzling.

Vaguely, he had already touched the threshold of the Late Golden Core Stage!

"This Cultivation Technique is simply overbearing beyond measure!"

Feeling the surging power within his body, Cao Kun was overjoyed.

The Chaos Unity Art, combined with this extremely special Dual Cultivation Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Hehuan Sect.

It was simply a match made in heaven.

There was no need to worry about Heart Demon intrusion, nor the issues of floating spiritual power or an unstable Foundation.

As long as the Dual Cultivation partner was strong enough and the spiritual power was pure enough.

He could absorb, transform, and break through without limits!

Following this line of thought.

An extremely bold, and even somewhat crazy, idea suddenly popped into Cao Kun's mind.

"Qingyue has only just formed her Core, and she can already bring me such a huge improvement."

"If in the future, that fiery little chili pepper Liu Rumeng also breaks through to the Golden Core Stage..."

"And that top-grade cauldron Nangong Wan, who has two souls in one body, also forms a Golden Core..."

"Three Jade Beasts with Top-grade Golden Cores..."

Cao Kun couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

This wasn't even the best part.

"If that enchantress Yu Linglong could successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Or even actually rush directly to the Soul Transformation Stage..."

"A supreme expert at the Soul Transformation Stage, nourishing me with Soul Transformation Stage spiritual power?"

That cultivation speed would surely take off instantly, wouldn't it?!

This isn't just raising Jade Beasts.

This is clearly raising a group of fully automatic, side-effect-free, humanoid walking perpetual motion machines for himself!

As long as he raises their cultivation.

He could trample the entire Immortal Realm under his feet just by lying down.

"It seems the cultivation plan must be accelerated."

Cao Kun thought of this.

He immediately looked at the purple figure who had been standing in the corner of the inner chamber, silently acting as a Protector for the two.

However, this reserve Soul Transformation Stage fighter was not in a very good state right now.

This night.

For her, it was simply a torture that felt endless.

The physical torment was secondary.

The key was the mental torment.

Several times, she wanted to rush over regardless of anything.

But Cao Kun's words from last night, "Only look, do not make a sound, and definitely do not move."

Were like an irresistible imperial decree, pressing down heavily on her head.

Yu Linglong really didn't dare to move, suffering greatly.

Feeling the ambiguous fluctuations of spiritual power.

Leng Qingyue's cultivation was slowly and completely stabilizing.

Her heart was so bitter.

Although she was a Golden Core Cultivator with a strong Physical Body.

She couldn't withstand this kind of extreme mental tension.

While also having to forcibly suppress the restless spiritual power within her body to act as a Protector for the two.

It was too torturous.

"I can't take it anymore..."

Yu Linglong wailed in her heart.

She was really about to collapse.

Looking at the two on the bed who had just finished cultivating and were snuggling together.

She held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She had at least stood here all night, acting as a dutiful Protector.

Even if she didn't have merit, she had at least put in the effort, right?

The Revered Master should have calmed down by now, right?

Yu Linglong took a deep breath.

She pitifully raised her head, her seductive peach blossom eyes gazing longingly at Cao Kun.

Her eyes were filled with grievance, pleading, and undisguised coquettishness.

She slightly opened her red lips.

With a voice that was extremely weak, yet just loud enough for Cao Kun to hear, she softly squeezed out a sentence.

"Revered Master..."

This call of "Revered Master" was filled with twists, turns, and mournful, lingering charm.

It was full of ingratiation and pleading.

She wanted to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to quickly gain some presence.

To see if she could break this stalemate of punishment and, by the way, completely turn the page on last night's unpleasant matter.

However.

Cao Kun was currently enjoying the spiritual power feedback from Leng Qingyue.

Hearing this delicate call, he didn't even raise an eyebrow.

He knew this woman, Yu Linglong, too well.

She was a classic example of forgetting the pain once the scar healed.

If you don't beat her for three days, she'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles.

Going behind my back to the Miaoyin Sect and privately transferring the mating rights of Leng Qingyue to that idiot named Ji Jinian.

Such a disgusting mess hadn't been resolved yet.

And now she wanted to turn the page by acting coquettish and playing the victim?

Dream on.

Does she really take me, Cao, for one of those pathetic simps who can't walk when they see a woman shed tears?

If I don't increase the intensity for you, you'll never remember who is the real boss.

Cao Kun couldn't even be bothered to say a word to her.

He directly used the System to secretly activate the special Magical Artifact bound to Yu Linglong.

This thing, since it was bound last time, Cao Kun hadn't really used it much.

Today, it was perfect to use to establish some rules.

"Activate."

Cao Kun silently recited two words in his heart.

Yu Linglong, who was still standing in place, full of expectation and waiting for Cao Kun's response.

Her delicate body trembled.

"Ugh!"

A short, surprised cry escaped Yu Linglong's red lips.

Her legs could no longer support the weight of her body.

With a "thud".

She fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Yu Linglong fell to the ground, gasping for air.

The protective spiritual power of the Late Golden Core Stage could not provide any defense against this power.

Her high-coiled bun came undone, and her long purple hair was scattered messily over her shoulders.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead and slid down her cheeks.

Leng Qingyue was startled by this sudden movement.

She poked her head out from Cao Kun's arms.

Looking at her Revered Master who had fallen to the ground.

She blinked her eyes in confusion.

What happened to Revered Master? Is she experiencing Qi Deviation?

Cao Kun soothingly patted Leng Qingyue's back, signaling her to stop for a moment.

Then he slowly sat up.

Looking down from above at Yu Linglong, who was curled up in a ball.

"What did I say last night?"

Cao Kun's voice was not loud, but it sounded extremely harsh in the quiet inner chamber.

"Only look, do not make a sound, and definitely do not move."

"It seems your attitude in admitting your mistake is still not good enough."

"You can't even keep the most basic rules."

These words directly sentenced Yu Linglong to death.

As Cao Kun's will moved.

Yu Linglong lost her focus for a moment, and couldn't even speak.

[Ding! Detected that Jade Beast "Yu Linglong" is suffering severe punishment, generating extreme awe and submission!]

[taming value + 2!]

[Current taming value (89 / 100)!]

[Reward task points: 200]

Listening to the System notification in his mind.

Cao Kun leaned back against the headboard in satisfaction.

That's more like it.

This is the correct way to treat disobedient Jade Beasts.

He turned his head and looked at Leng Qingyue, who was still a bit dazed in his arms.

Smiling, he pinched her cheek.

"Ignore her."

"Let's continue."

In the inner chamber, a scene of beautiful, lingering spring spread out.

Leng Qingyue
