44: Proton (VI)

spring awakening grass, as the name suggests, is a Spiritual Plant that calls forth the spring desire within the body.

In the Imperial Dynasty, some Advanced medicines favored by noble Young Masters with special hobbies are refined using this Spiritual Plant as the primary ingredient.

The mist rushed toward his face.

Chi Yun inhaled just a bit of that sweet, cloying, and scorching scent, and a surge of dry heat welled up from deep within his body.

This dry heat instantly spread through his limbs and bones, incinerating his reason. Thoughts surfaced one after another, and Chi Yun's rationality was gradually dispersed by more primal instincts.

Before his eyes, Yun Xi's figure became blurred and distorted.

She was no longer that collateral branch woman of the Yun Family who looked at him with amusement and calculation.

At this moment, she was like a sweet and delicious little lamb lost in the forest, making him long to bite and devour her completely.

Furthermore, Yun Xi seemed to possess a special attraction that drew in Chi Yun's Pure Yuan Dao Body.

An unprecedentedly powerful desire erupted from the depths of his Dao Body, almost tearing him apart.

Chi Yun felt that if he didn't release the fire of desire within him now, he might be blown apart at his Dao foundation by the Pure Yuan power of his Pure Yuan Dao Body.

Chi Yun clenched his teeth, his body trembling. He wanted to control himself, to look away. But his legs were like they had taken root, turning toward Yun Xi uncontrollably.

"Dammit... where did a Black Marsh Giant Crocodile get spring awakening grass from..."

Chi Yun couldn't help but grumble.

Yun Xi had also inhaled the mist. Her eyes were glazed, her body as soft as if it had no bones, and a strange longing burned within her.

Seeing Chi Yun, she reached out as if for a lifeline, her body moving involuntarily and instinctively toward him.

Her breathing was rapid, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with confusion and expectation.

The two of them gradually drew closer.

Feeling each other's scorching breath, their Physical Bodies became intertwined. The sensation of their skin touching was like adding oil to a fire, burning away the last shred of reason.

Within the mist, two figures clung tightly together. They yielded to their bodily instincts, intimately entwined under the drive of the medicinal power.

At the edge of the marsh, only a pile of clothes remained on the ground. The wind whistled past, howling like the sound of gasping breaths.

During this process, Chi Yun keenly sensed an extremely pure, Yin-cold spiritual power, like pouring moonlight, surging out from Yun Xi's body and entering his own.

This spiritual power was like sweet rain, nourishing his parched Pure Yuan Dao Body; he felt his cultivation slowly rising.

An anomaly occurred in the sky above the marsh.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged like a tide, gathering together. Moonlight fell, forming beams of special light that enveloped the two of them.

Chi Yun was astonished deep down; this was likely a power from an Origin Physique. Yun Xi's Physique was definitely not ordinary!

Countless records from his past life flashed through his mind.

Pure Yin Spirit Body!

This Physique was a natural Dual Cultivation cauldron, and its Primordial Yin provided Heaven-Defying benefits to cultivators.

Chi Yun also realized this was a perfect opportunity for his Dao Body to advance and for a cultivation Breakthrough!

The importance of a Pure Yin body's first Primordial Yin far exceeded the norm, capable of baptizing his Dao Body and helping him undergo a complete transformation.

Chi Yun no longer suppressed himself.

He took the opportunity to guide the power of his Dao Body, absorbing the Primordial Yin of Yun Xi's Pure Yin body to the maximum extent.

Spiritual light flared brilliantly from him, and his aura climbed steadily.

His Dao Body was like a long-drought-stricken land meeting sweet rain, crazily absorbing this power.

The Dao Body became more solid, faintly emitting an ancient and powerful aura.

Under the nourishment of the Pure Yin Primordial Yin, Chi Yun's cultivation soared like a rocket.

Spirit Transformation Realm fourth level, fifth level... finally, his cultivation steadily stopped at the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The majestic spiritual power within him and the powerful feedback from his Dao Body filled Chi Yun with wild joy. However, his face remained calm, showing nothing.

As the medicinal effect gradually faded, the five-colored mist dispersed. The dry heat in their bodies receded, and their consciousness gradually regained clarity.

Yun Xi woke from the confusion. She was first dazed, then noticed the abnormality in her body.

Looking at the surrounding Spiritual Plants stained with bright red, and the naked Chi Yun beside her.

"You... shameless!"

She cried out, her cheeks turning bright red. She instinctively hugged herself, her eyes filled with shame, horror, and a complex emotion.

At the same time, she felt the Bottleneck of her cultivation loosen, and there were even slight signs of a Breakthrough.

This shocked her immensely. She was well aware of the effects of her Pure Yin body; not only could it benefit the other party greatly, but she would also receive feedback from them.

Rumor had it that this Abyss Prince hostage was a waste, possessing no special Physique at all, and had only entered the Outer Academy Hall through good luck.

Therefore, there should have been no feedback power for her at all. In other words, by being with this waste hostage, it was as if she had been taken for free.

But to Yun Xi's surprise, this feedback was real. His Physique was definitely not ordinary; it was likely a powerful Spirit Body!

Chi Yun looked at her, feigning calmness.

"Senior Sister Yun Xi, this was an accident. No one could have expected this Black Marsh Giant Crocodile to spray out the mist of the spring awakening grass."

"This Yao Beast likely consumed a stalk of spring awakening grass not long ago. The medicinal properties of this spring awakening grass are intense; both you and I are victims. Why don't we let this matter go, bury it in our hearts, and keep it a secret between us?"

Yun Xi opened her mouth to speak but could say nothing. She looked at Chi Yun with a complex gaze.

Her Primordial Yin had been taken; how could she give an account to that person in the future... But the strength of this Chi Yun before her was not simple; he had actually slain a Peak Spirit Transformation Realm Yao Beast and was suspected to possess an extraordinary Spirit Body.

Naturally, she couldn't demand an explanation right now.

She could only let the matter drop for now, but she made up her mind that she would not let Chi Yun off so easily.

The two quickly tidied their clothes and returned to the Academy Hall.

In the following days, Chi Yun began to frequently inquire about the Yun Family, especially news of Yun Xi, within the Outer Academy Hall.

He soon learned that Yun Xi had long ago been arranged to marry one of those two Prodigies of the Yun Family main house, though it had not been openly announced.

Chi Yun naturally understood in his heart.

The Yun Family main house likely intended to use Yun Xi's Pure Yin Spirit Body on their own Prodigies to help them go a step further, with the hope of reaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Thereby allowing the Yun Family, an established Earth Spirit Family of the Imperial Dynasty, to be promoted to a Heavenly Spirit Family.

Upon learning this news, for some reason, he felt a bit uncomfortable, though he couldn't say where the feeling came from.

But he didn't plan to dwell on it too much. After all, his current strength was ultimately weak, and he was merely a hostage with low status.

Seemingly stimulated by this matter, Chi Yun no longer suppressed his cultivation speed.

He began to Cultivate frantically, knowing the Yun Family would definitely not let the Year-end Grand Examination pass as an opportunity to eliminate him.

His status as a hostage was sensitive and low in Xuan Yuan City, so he had to deliberately slow down his Cultivation.

Therefore, he decided to find a reason to leave the Academy Hall and Xuan Yuan City after the Year-end Grand Examination.

Although his status as a hostage prevented him from leaving the Xuan Yuan Dynasty, other places in the Xuan Yuan Dynasty would surely be better than Xuan Yuan City.
