74: I really can’t bear to get up!

Su Yang spent almost half a month refining all the Spiritual Plants and immortal medicines he had exchanged from the Merit Pavilion into the purple gold pills he now needed most.

The number was exactly 20 pills.

With these 20 purple gold pills, it was equivalent to increasing his chances of continuous combat by 20 times.

Even if he consumed 2 pills at a time, he could handle ten high-intensity attrition battles.

For the short term, it was enough.

In his sea of consciousness.

Su Yang looked at the purple gold pills floating in front of him, feeling very good.

Half a month of hard work had not been in vain.

With these purple gold pills, for a long time to come, he could focus his attention on Cultivation, and wholeheartedly improve his cultivation.

He released the Fusion and exited his sea of consciousness.

With a comfortable and natural state, coupled with Gu Yue's special super-absorbing Physique, the spiritual liquid was directly triggered for a critical strike.

"Master... this is too sudden..."

Gu Yue obviously loved the feeling of being critically struck by Su Yang.

While her mouth said it was sudden, the expression on her face indicated that this was a long-awaited reward.

"Isn't this your favorite?"

Su Yang teased her, taking a deep, satisfying breath.

For the past half month, he had been highly focused on Alchemy, and now, with the output of spiritual liquid, his entire body and mind completely relaxed.

"Next, it's my turn again."

Wen Yunyao stepped forward, already prepared to take over.

For the past half month, every three days and nights, she and Gu Yue would take turns sitting on Su Yang, and she had grown accustomed to it.

"Not for now, the Materials for Alchemy have been used up."

"And the Medicinal Pills I've refined are temporarily enough for me for a while. The focus now will be on Cultivation."

"Rest for two days to adjust, and then enter a state of Cultivation the day after tomorrow."

Su Yang said to Wen Yunyao.

"Already finished refining..."

Wen Yunyao and Gu Yue said in unison.

Both of them had been very fulfilled in all aspects during this period, and thinking that such days were about to end, they felt a bit unaccustomed.

"What, you're reluctant?"

Su Yang teased.

Wen Yunyao's face flushed, naturally too embarrassed to admit it.

Gu Yue, however, embraced him and said frankly, "This period has been especially fulfilling, and my cultivation has improved quickly. It really feels a bit hard to let go now that it's suddenly ending."

Although Wen Yunyao was too shy to speak, she nodded very affirmatively.

Su Yang said, "Alchemy is over, but Cultivation isn't. Rest for two days, and you two will still take turns accompanying me in Cultivation. The days ahead will be very fulfilling for both of you."

"Oh right... we still have to Cultivate..."

Wen Yunyao's eyes lit up.

How could she forget that Alchemy was Alchemy, and Cultivation was Cultivation?

Alchemy was a phased activity, but Cultivation was a long-term activity.

Gu Yue smiled charmingly, "That's true. During this time, we two can also take turns resting, but you're practically inseparable from us, so it seems you really need some rest too. By the way, see if you can recruit that Junior Sister. Having one more person to Cultivate with you would also relieve some pressure on us. Three people taking shifts is better than two."

"And..."

Gu Yue whispered in his ear, "Everyone accompanying you in Cultivation should have a different feeling, right? Every time you Cultivate, you'll have a different experience, how good is that."

Su Yang: ...This Fox Spirit, she really understands everything!

He glanced at Lin Bingqing, who was Cultivating by the waterfall. A three-shift system sounded like a good option.

Wen Yunyao, however, said, "It would be better if it were someone else. I really dislike her."

Su Yang hugged Gu Yue, giving her ample time to absorb the essence, and curiously asked Wen Yunyao, "What exactly is your grudge with Lin Bingqing? Why does it feel like you two can't stand each other?"

Wen Yunyao huffed, "Before, my father and her father competed for the position of Sect Master. Her father was considered the strongest among his peers and was confident of winning, but the Elder Pavilion thought her father was too rigid and unsuitable for the Sect Master position, so they ultimately chose my father to be the Sect Master."

"After that, her father always resented this matter and often clashed with my father. Naturally, the conflicts between our two families accumulated, so it's normal for us to dislike each other."

So that's what happened.

Su Yang had been in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect for eight years and had heard rumors of the Sect Master and some Pavilion Masters having grudges, but this was the first time he had heard such specific inside information.

Although Junior Sister Yun Yao used the phrase 'over time' to describe the feud between the two families, this was a struggle for power within the Sect, so it was imaginable that the conflicts involved were far more intense than her understated words suggested.

"Su Yang, can you find someone else to Cultivate with you?"

Wen Yunyao suddenly ran up and, pulling Su Yang's hand, said, "I can accept you with any other woman, just like now with Sister Gu Yue, I think it's perfectly fine. It's just her, I really don't like her. The thought of her accompanying you in Cultivation makes me feel so awkward."

Su Yang said: ...He subconsciously glanced again at Lin Bingqing, who was Cultivating by the waterfall.

This was indeed a problem.

Junior Sister Yun Yao's conflict with this Lin Bingqing was clearly the result of accumulated grievances; it wasn't something that happened overnight. Resolving their conflict would not be a matter of a day or two.

He just wanted to Cultivate well now and didn't have the energy to deal with their awkwardness.

If he insisted on keeping Lin Bingqing, judging by her current behavior, he would probably have to watch her and Junior Sister Yun Yao argue constantly.

Cultivation required peace and quiet; if he had to watch them argue every day, then there would be no Cultivation.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang nodded and said, "Since you don't like this Lin Bingqing, then I'll send her away later, to save you the annoyance."

He also found Lin Bingqing's demeanor annoying.

Now was not the time to lack women; there was no need to insist on a woman who was unwilling and unhappy.

Cultivation required a clear state of mind; keeping a resentful ice queen by his side would only add to his troubles and provide no benefit.

"Really???"

"Su Yang, you're so good to me~~~"

Wen Yunyao had only been acting spoiled, never expecting Su Yang to send back Lin Bingqing, who had been sent by the Grand Elder.

She didn't expect Su Yang to actually agree.

In her surprise, she immediately kissed Su Yang on the cheek.

"Hehehe~~~"

"When I'm done absorbing the essence, I'll get up and let you have him. I bet you really want to thank him with yourself now, don't you!?"

Gu Yue, this Fox Spirit, smiled seductively without end.

Wen Yunyao's face instantly flushed, "Sister Gu Yue, please don't tease me. I'm really very happy; that Lin Bingqing always has a cold face, she's so annoying."

"When you're happy, sitting on him will definitely make you even happier, won't it~~~"

Gu Yue loved to tease her the most.

Wen Yunyao's face grew even redder from her teasing, "Sister Gu Yue, hurry up and absorb it~~~ I think Sister Gu Yue, you don't want to absorb the essence, you just don't want to get up."

Gu Yue wasn't afraid of her teasing, and said charmingly, "I really don't want to get up~~~"

Saying that, she even swayed her waist.

Hiss~~~

Su Yang pinched her face, both amused and exasperated.

This lewd Fox!

He really couldn't stand her.

Su Yang said, "Alright, alright, stop teasing her. If you're going to absorb, do it quickly. Once you're done, rest. I'll go handle Lin Bingqing's matter, to avoid dragging this on half-heartedly here."

"Okay~~~ Your wish is my command, my Master~~~"

Gu Yue laughed and began to absorb.

Su Yang: ...This Fox Spirit, she's definitely doing it on purpose!

He wished he could give her another critical strike!

It was really—

Refreshing!

Wen Yunyao had long since grown accustomed to Gu Yue's allure during this time. Since she and Gu Yue had cooperated many times in taking turns to Cultivate with Su Yang, she no longer felt jealous of Gu Yue.

Anyway, she herself often sat on him and Cultivated with him like that.

"Oh, right, Su Yang."

Wen Yunyao suddenly thought of something and frowned:

"Oh, right, Su Yang, the Three Grand Elders carefully selected for a long time before deciding to send Lin Bingqing to Cultivate with you. Now that you want to 'return' her, will the Three Grand Elders have any thoughts?"

"If this matter causes the Three Grand Elders to have an opinion of you, then let's forget about it."

Su Yang was somewhat touched that she considered him at this moment.

He smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this; I will negotiate with the Three Grand Elders."

"Are you sure it's no problem?"

"Don't worry, trust me."

Seeing him so confident, Wen Yunyao finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thinking that Su Yang was risking displeasing the Grand Elders for her, she naturally felt very touched.

She thought to herself that she would serve him well when he rested.

What she didn't know was that Su Yang was not only the Disciple of the Three Grand Elders, but the Three Grand Elders were also Su Yang's Disciples.

His decision to send Lin Bingqing away was essentially a single word, and the Three Grand Elders would absolutely not and dared not have any objections.

Gu Yue quickly absorbed all the essence (jingyuan in her body.

She lazily got up to rest.

Su Yang walked to the waterfall, preparing to lay his cards on the table with Lin Bingqing...
