176: Integration successful! An anomaly has occurred!

Su Yang sighed inwardly.

It was exactly as he had thought.

Last time, Miao Qingsha entered the room twice, and although she never explicitly stated what she intended to do, Su Yang had already guessed that she probably hoped he could help her achieve a Breakthrough.

This time, she finally laid her cards on the table.

Su Yang remained silent for a moment, his expression naturally showing some difficulty.

"Madam, the Sect Master has been kind to me. Wouldn't doing this be somewhat betraying him?"

If it were only Wen Yunyao, to be honest, Su Yang didn't think it would be a big problem.

It was the existence of the Sect Master that made things difficult for him.

Miao Qingsha also knew he would feel conflicted about this, so she reassured Su Yang: "I know you will feel guilty about this. However, this matter is known only by Heaven, Earth, you, and me. No one else knows. As long as you don't speak of it and I don't speak of it, the Sect Master will never find out."

Su Yang asked, "Then how will you explain the fact that after visiting Wangxian Hall, a Bottleneck you couldn't Break through suddenly shattered?"

Miao Qingsha had already thought of how to explain this problem. She replied, "When I return, I will say that the Spiritual Qi in Wangxian Hall is extremely abundant, and the Saintess of Wangxian Hall gave me some guidance, helping me successfully Break through the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Bottleneck. If you return to the Sect later, just back up my story, and I believe the Sect Master won't be suspicious."

Su Yang: "..."

Clearly, she had genuinely thought through all the countermeasures, and she had come to Wangxian Hall with sufficient determination.

"Su Yang, your cultivation base grows incredibly fast. You might not understand the despair of someone who has been trapped in a Bottleneck for a long time, unable to Break through."

"I have been stuck in the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage for far too long. There was a time when I thought my cultivation base could only reach this level, and I was almost resigned to my fate."

"I didn't expect you to appear! Since you achieved Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, everything you've shown, coupled with Yun Yao soaring upward with your help, I truly see hope in you."

"Su Yang..."

Miao Qingsha took a step forward, approaching Su Yang, growing more agitated as she spoke: "Su Yang, I know you can definitely help me Break through. Only you can help with this! I have tried all the Medicinal Pills and Cultivation Techniques in the Sect that can aid in Breakthroughs, but none could shatter my restraints. You are my only and greatest hope, Su Yang."

Miao Qingsha looked at Su Yang with an almost pleading gaze.

Su Yang had a headache and rubbed his temples: "Madam, have you considered what you will do if even I cannot help you achieve a Breakthrough? You would neither achieve your goal nor avoid being burdened with guilt."

"If even you cannot help me Break through, then I truly will resign myself to fate, and I will stop obsessing over achieving a Breakthrough from now on."

"As for the guilt you mentioned, if you don't speak of it and I don't speak of it, no one will ever know."

Miao Qingsha stated this with great certainty.

Su Yang: "..."

Why did Miao Qingsha's attitude seem so subtle when talking about guilt?!

Su Yang didn't ask further.

It was clear that she genuinely desired this opportunity for a Breakthrough.

Since that was the case... Su Yang proactively walked into the cave.

Joy immediately appeared on Miao Qingsha's face, and she quickly followed Su Yang into the cave.

Spiritual light illuminated the four walls of the cave. The dense Spiritual Qi inside even formed a liquid-like Spiritual Mist, filling the entire cave, and Spiritual Qi entered the body with every breath.

However,

Since Su Yang's Spiritual Root was disconnected, he could not absorb the Spiritual Qi. This Qi merely passed through his lungs; inhaling and exhaling it had no visible effect on his body.

But the environment here was clearly of great benefit to Miao Qingsha, a normal Cultivator.

The moment she entered, she could already clearly feel the benefit to her.

Su Yang said to Miao Qingsha, "This cave is good; the Spiritual Qi is extremely abundant, and there is a continuous supply of Spiritual Qi around. Theoretically, helping you achieve a Breakthrough is not difficult, but... Madam, I don't know why you haven't been able to Break through for so long, so I dare not guarantee that I can definitely help you. I must make this clear to you beforehand."

Miao Qingsha nodded very affirmatively: "I understand! If even you cannot help me Break through, then I, Miao Qingsha, will completely resign myself to fate for the rest of my life."

"Alright!"

Since she had said so, what else could he do?

Su Yang sat down cross-legged, his entire body submerged in the dense Spiritual Mist of the cave.

Miao Qingsha's face finally flushed red at this moment; the most crucial time had finally arrived.

Having reached this point, she had no room left to turn back.

She was not an eighteen-year-old girl; a little shame in her heart could not stop her pursuit of greater strength.

"Come up."

Su Yang said to her, "You have seen how Yun Yao Cultivated with me before, so I shouldn't need to teach you from scratch, right?"

Miao Qingsha shook her head, came before Su Yang, fumbled for a moment, and sat down cross-legged.

"..."

Miao Qingsha only felt her own cultivation base instantly suppressed. Then, accompanied by Su Yang's Spiritual Root, the external Spiritual Qi surged madly into her body like raging waves.

Even though she possessed a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivation base, she had never encountered such a special situation, and her body went limp, leaning against Su Yang's shoulder.

At this moment, Su Yang frowned in surprise.

What was going on?

He actually received two types of cultivation base amplification from Miao Qingsha simultaneously.

One was a temporary boost based on her own strength.

The other was what Su Yang found difficult to understand.

Logically, he shouldn't be getting a long-term fixed cultivation base amplification from Miao Qingsha, but in fact, when the connection was complete, he clearly felt his fixed cultivation base amplification increase from the original 626% to 814%.

It was still a fixed three-tenths increase ratio.

But she... shouldn't provide this!

The experience he gained from Lin Huanhuan told him that such an unbelievable situation couldn't possibly occur with Miao Qingsha.

But he had indeed received this fixed three-tenths amplification ratio from Miao Qingsha without error.

Su Yang was a little stunned!

This situation was too unique; it could only be described as unbelievable.

Just as he was in a daze, Miao Qingsha slowly adapted to the current state, raised her head, looked at Su Yang who was close by, and tried to control the flush on her face: "Su Yang, what should I do next?"

Su Yang took a deep breath.

He temporarily put aside the ten thousand whys in his heart.

He said, "I will guide you!"

Su Yang closed his eyes and entered the Cultivation state. Just like always, he circulated the Spiritual Qi within his body, running it through her Meridians, and then guided her Spiritual Qi to circulate along with it.

"Hmm?"

After Su Yang guided her Spiritual Qi to circulate once, he immediately discovered an anomaly.

Within the Spiritual Qi circulating through Miao Qingsha's Meridians, there were remnants of Spiritual Qi that did not belong to her. This Qi had already intertwined and merged with her own Spiritual Qi, circulating normally alongside her own Qi within her Meridians for a long time, making the difference almost imperceptible.

Su Yang even dared to say that Miao Qingsha herself hadn't realized that non-native Spiritual Qi existed within her body.

The reason Su Yang could discover this anomaly was thanks to the Innate Kidney Body's extremely sensitive perception of the partner's Spiritual Qi. During Dual Cultivation, only Su Yang's own Spiritual Qi and the woman's Spiritual Qi could circulate freely; third-party Spiritual Qi would trigger an immediate rejection reaction.

If his guess was correct, the reason Miao Qingsha had been unable to achieve a Breakthrough for so long was precisely because this non-native Spiritual Qi was obstructing her further advancement.

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Madam, why is there other people's Spiritual Qi inside your body?"
