3: Chapter 3 Suspected Special Physique?

"Why are you doing this?" Xu Yuehuan's voice was hoarse, filled with confusion and grief.

"I treated you as my closest sister. Why would you harm me like this?"

"Sister?" A glint of jealousy flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes despite her smile.

"Xu Yuehuan, you always put on this high-and-mighty act! Your talent is better than mine, you Cultivate faster than me, and the Sect favors you more!"

"Everyone in the Sect says you are the number one Fairy of Xuanyang, while what about me? Living in your shadow forever!"

As she spoke, she grew more excited, her voice suddenly rising: "But the Sect only needs one Saintess! Sect resources are limited. Since you refuse to step down, I will destroy you with my own hands!"

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, putting on an innocent smile once again:

"However, I've changed my mind now. It'd be too much of a pity to kill you. With these recordings, you'll become the best pawn in my hands."

"From now on, if I tell you to go east, you won't dare go west. If I tell you to kneel, you won't dare stand. The only Saintess of the Xuanyang Sect will be me, Liu Ruyan!"

The light of the image-recording bead flashed continuously, recording everything on the bed.

Admiring her masterpiece, Liu Ruyan's gaze inadvertently swept over Baili Yunche, and she suddenly let out a soft "Huh?"

"Oh? I didn't expect a little Utility Disciple guarding the Waste Pill Room to actually have some skill."

She sized up Baili Yunche's lean, muscular body and enduring stamina with great interest.

"Only at Qi Refining Third Layer, yet able to last so long and know so many... bizarre Moves."

Baili Yunche, who had been a "theoretical Great Master" in his past life, felt his old face flush red.

Although he hadn't seen actual battlefield action in his previous life, his theoretical knowledge was extremely vast; this was merely a small test of his skills.

But being evaluated like this by a stunning Fairy still made him feel quite embarrassed.

"Seeing how hard you're working..."

Liu Ruyan's eyes darted around as she took out a light-yellow pill from her Storage Pouch. The surface of the pill exuded a dense masculine aura.

"Sister will reward you with a great strength vajra pill. This is a good thing—it can boost your vitality and keep you fighting relentlessly."

Flicking her finger, the pill shot with precision right into Baili Yunche's mouth.

"Mph!" Before Baili Yunche could react, the pill had transformed into a surge of heat pouring into his belly.

The next second, violent heat swept through his entire body, as if flames were burning within his Meridians!

His body, originally exhausted from prolonged exertion, instantly filled with power. A primal urge shot straight to his head, turning his eyes red and his breathing heavy as a bull's.

"S-Sorry, Fairy..."

What little sanity Baili Yunche had left made him apologize to Xu Yuehuan, but his body lost control and pounced once more, his movements even wilder and more intense than before.

"Ah!" Xu Yuehuan gasped in shock, her mind thrown into utter disarray by this sudden, violent impact.

The remnants of the hehuan powder poison were completely ignited; her sanity collapsed once again, leaving only the most instinctive response.

"Good! Good! This is exactly the effect I wanted!"

Liu Ruyan clapped and giggled sweetly, the light from the image-recording bead growing even brighter.

"Xu Yuehuan, oh Xu Yuehuan, I want everyone to see what a slutty bitch you are to your very core!"

Time passed amidst the madness.

Baili Yunche conquered endlessly, the effects of the great strength vajra pill supporting his overdrawn body.

And within this ultimate union of Yin and Yang, a dormant power within his body was slowly Awakening.

Xu Yuehuan felt anger and shame at first, but as waves of passion crashed over her again and again, she felt a strange transformation happening inside her.

The toxicity of the hehuan powder was actually slowly dissolving, replaced by a surge of incomparably pure Yang Qi flowing into her Dantian, blending seamlessly with her native Yin-attribute Spiritual Qi.

This power was warm yet domineering. Wherever it passed, her Meridians expanded, her Spiritual Qi was purified, and the Bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer actually began to loosen!

"This is..."

Xu Yuehuan was shocked in her heart.

She suddenly remembered a record in the Sect's ancient texts: when certain special Physiques perform Dual Cultivation for the first time, it brings immense benefits to their Dao Companion.

Among the rarest of them was the "Pure Yang Holy Body".

This Physique had boundless Yang Qi, capable of thoroughly transforming a woman's body and spirit!

Could this Utility Disciple... possess the Pure Yang Holy Body?

Before she could think further, a majestic surge of Spiritual Qi crashed through the Bottleneck like a flood!

Boom!

A silent roar exploded inside Xu Yuehuan's body.

In her Dantian, liquid Spiritual Qi began spinning and compressing wildly, gradually coalescing into the egg-sized phantom of a golden pill.

The phantom continuously solidified, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi while integrating the Pure Yang energy into itself.

Golden Core Stage!

She had actually achieved a Breakthrough at this moment!

Even more incredible, this Golden Core was exceptionally stable, bearing nine natural patterns on its surface.

This was the legendary "Nine-Patterned Golden Core"!

It represented a perfect Foundation and boundless potential!

When ordinary Cultivators break through to Golden Core, forming three patterns makes one a Genius, five patterns a Prodigy, seven patterns is seen once in a thousand years, and a Nine-Patterned Golden Core has only ever appeared in ancient texts!

All of this was thanks to that pure Yang power.

Feeling the surging power within her, the Golden Core Realm cultivation completely transformed her.

She looked at Baili Yunche, who was still fighting valiantly, with a complex expression.

This Utility Disciple who took her purity had also, by a twist of fate, helped her break through to the Realm of her dreams and forged a perfect Dao Foundation.

Did she hate him? Of course she did.

Yet within this hatred, there was also a trace of an unspeakable emotion mixed in.

At the same time, earth-shaking changes were also taking place within Baili Yunche's body.

The effects of the great strength vajra pill gradually faded, but an even more powerful force awakened from the depths of his Bloodline.

He felt every inch of flesh and blood across his entire body burning and reshaping; his bones emitted soft popping sounds, and his Meridians widened like rivers.

In his Dantian, the originally thin Spiritual Qi surged wildly, and his Realm broke through uncontrollably.

Qi Refining Third Layer, Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer...

In just a few dozen breaths, he had already broken through to Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

This was a Realm he wouldn't even dare dream of!

Even stranger, a faint golden hue surfaced on his skin, the Yang Qi inside him burned like a furnace, and his whole body emitted a scorching aura.

This seemed to be the sign of a preliminary Awakening of a certain Physique!

"What's happening to me?" Baili Yunche was both shocked and delighted.

Having read countless books in his past life, he immediately understood what was going on.

It turned out he didn't have trash Spiritual Roots, but possessed a peerless Physique!

It was just that his Physique required special conditions to unlock, and performing Dual Cultivation with Xu Yuehuan now was undoubtedly the key to unlocking his special Physique.

After several hours of intense effort, the tempest finally came to a rest.

Baili Yunche collapsed on the bed, exhausted all over, yet the abundant Spiritual Qi filling his body kept his spirits exhilarated.

Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

In just a single day, he soared from Qi Refining Third Layer to Seventh Layer—what incredible Cultivation speed!

Moreover, his cultivation was rock-solid without any feeling of instability, which made Baili Yunche ecstatic.

By now, Xu Yuehuan was fully dressed, her purple robe restoring her cold and distant demeanor as a Saintess.

Only the residual charm at the corners of her eyes and her slightly swollen lips revealed the madness that had just occurred.

She sat quietly by the bed, feeling the majestic power circulating from her Golden Core, her heart filled with complex emotions beyond words.

"Hahaha! What an epic masterpiece!"

Liu Ruyan retrieved the image-recording bead, fondling it lovingly.

Light and shadow flowed inside the bead, depicting the very unsightly scenes from just now.

Liu Ruyan glanced at Xu Yuehuan and sneered, "Xu Yuehuan, from now on, you'd better take a detour whenever you see me."

"Otherwise, I don't mind letting all the fellow Senior and Junior Brothers in the Sect enjoy seeing what kind of state their dream goddess is in on the bed."

She turned to leave, but a cold voice came from behind her: "Are you finished talking?"

Xu Yuehuan lifted her head, her eyes calm, as if looking at a dead person.

She no longer had a shred of affection left for Liu Ruyan, only bone-deep hatred.

"Hmm?" Liu Ruyan turned back, raising an eyebrow with a soft laugh. "What, my dear sister still wants to resist? Don't forget, the image-recording bead is in my hands. As long as I..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Because from Xu Yuehuan's body, a terrifying aura far surpassing the Foundation Establishment Stage suddenly erupted!

Spiritual Qi of the Golden Core Realm erupted like a volcano, instantly filling the entire room and locking firmly onto Liu Ruyan!

"You... you broke through to Golden Core?!" Liu Ruyan's expression changed dramatically, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! Three days ago you were still at Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, how could you break through so fast?!"

Feeling that majestic pressure, storm-like waves crashed through her heart.

When both were at Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, her strength was roughly on par with Xu Yuehuan's.

But between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment lay a world of difference. Now, she was completely no match for Xu Yuehuan.
