82: I will give you true essence in the form of essence!

Lin Bingqing was, after all, experiencing this for the first time; she actually felt quite numb.

But her situation was different.

She needed to repair her Golden Core in one go, and a little numbness was insignificant compared to the major task of Golden Core repair.

She had to persevere even if she was numb.

Lin Bingqing introspected her shattered Golden Core, mobilizing her True Qi to begin repairing it.

At this moment, her Golden Core was extremely fragile.

It was like a cracked but not shattered vase; if left untouched, it would stand there perfectly intact, but with even a slight external force, the entire vase would instantly crumble.

Lin Bingqing encountered the same situation.

Her Golden Core, originally cracked but not shattered, began to crumble due to the external force exerted by her True Qi as she tried to repair it.

Lin Bingqing was greatly alarmed.

As a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, she naturally understood the consequences of a completely shattered Golden Core.

That would mean the collapse of her Dao foundation, making further Cultivation impossible.

She immediately used all her True Qi to stabilize her Golden Core, while simultaneously attempting to repair it with True Qi.

However,

it was already extremely difficult just to use True Qi to stabilize her Golden Core; to repair it at the same time was a Hell-level challenge.

Even though she was currently sitting on Su Yang, her True Qi could not sustain both processes simultaneously.

Her True Qi was being rapidly depleted.

If this continued, she would not only fail to repair her Golden Core but might also cause it to completely shatter.

Su Yang and Lin Bingqing were in a state of deep Cultivation at this time, so he could naturally sense clearly what was happening within her body.

At her current rate of True Qi consumption, her True Qi supply would run out in less than two hours.

By then, it would probably be very difficult even to keep her Golden Core from shattering.

This woman might be a bit cold, but she had given him her first time; as a man, he couldn't just stand by and watch her Dao foundation crumble indifferently.

If her Golden Core shattered, she wouldn't be able to Cultivate with him.

The more people who Cultivate with him, the faster his cultivation will grow.

Regardless of the reason, Su Yang had no reason to remain indifferent.

Su Yang immediately stopped the circulation of Spiritual Qi and instead transmitted his own True Qi to her through their sole connection.

Lin Bingqing, who was struggling to maintain stability, suddenly felt a surge of True Qi, and the pressure on her eased.

"Thank you, Su Yang..."

Lin Bingqing felt grateful in her heart.

But she dared not be distracted, circulating her True Qi to both maintain her Golden Core and use more True Qi to repair it.

The difficulty of Golden Core repair far exceeded the difficulty of Core Formation.

The consumption of True Qi also far exceeded that of Core Formation.

Both Lin Bingqing and Su Yang underestimated the True Qi required for Golden Core repair.

Even the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, underestimated the True Qi needed for Golden Core repair; otherwise, they would have reminded Su Yang of this.

Four hours later, Su Yang's True Qi also began to visibly fall short.

And her Golden Core was currently only in the Early Stage of repair, having just stabilized a little, and still needed True Qi to maintain its integrity.

"I didn't expect Golden Core repair to consume so much True Qi..."

But his True Qi was also already falling short.

If this continued, it would likely fail.

Su Yang thought of the 20 purple gold pills in his sea of consciousness.

He unhesitatingly took one.

A large amount of True Qi flowed through his sea of consciousness into his meridians, and the heavily depleted True Qi was quickly replenished.

Su Yang once again circulated his True Qi to help her repair her Golden Core.

However,

Su Yang unexpectedly discovered that while the True Qi provided by the purple gold pill achieved 100% effectiveness when used by himself, the loss rate was a terrifying 50% when directly transmitting the True Qi from the purple gold pill to Lin Bingqing.

In other words, only half of the True Qi given to her through this method would be effective.

This loss was simply too great.

If all 20 purple gold pills were used, it would be equivalent to only 10 having a real effect.

Whether the effect of 10 pills could help her complete the Golden Core repair was still an unknown.

Su Yang began to ponder how to improve the effectiveness of the purple gold pill for her.

Soon,

Su Yang found a method that could increase the effectiveness to nearly 100%.

But this method... "Lin Bingqing, if this continues, all our True Qi will be exhausted."

"I now have a method that can quickly help you increase your True Qi, but... the method might make you feel quite embarrassed. Can you accept it?"

Su Yang communicated with Lin Bingqing through Divine Sense transmission.

"As long as it helps me repair my Golden Core now, any method will do!"

Lin Bingqing said without hesitation.

"In that case..."

Su Yang took another purple gold pill.

All True Qi condensed downwards, and then was transmitted to her in the form of essence rather than True Qi.

"!—"

Lin Bingqing instantly felt a massive influx of essence; the sheer volume almost caused her Divided Soul to detach from her Cultivation state.

She never expected Su Yang to use this method.

But she could indeed feel that the essence Su Yang transmitted contained an extremely vast amount of True Qi.

And True Qi was what she desperately needed right now!

She couldn't afford to worry about so many things now; she immediately extracted the True Qi from the essence, and the True Qi from the extreme yin quickly flowed into her Dantian, replenishing her True Qi deficiency.

Just as Su Yang expected, this move was very effective.

The efficiency of the purple gold pill directly increased from 50% to over 99%.

With a large supply of True Qi, Lin Bingqing immediately focused on Golden Core repair.

She stabilized her Golden Core while repairing it.

This was hard on Su Yang.

He had to monitor her True Qi consumption, and at the same time, use the purple gold pill to transmit all its True Qi to her in the form of essence.

Again and again and again.

If not for the powerful Innate Kidney Body, no man could withstand such consumption.

It was also fortunate that his hard work was not in vain.

With the continuous supply of True Qi, after the True Qi from the fifth purple gold pill was exhausted, Lin Bingqing's Golden Core gradually stabilized; she no longer needed to consume True Qi to maintain its stability, and it would not shatter.

This allowed Lin Bingqing to focus on Golden Core repair.

As time passed, a large amount of True Qi continuously merged into the Golden Core, and the cracks in the Golden Core disappeared little by little; the Golden Core was being repaired at an extremely subtle pace, bit by bit.

Five days and five nights passed.

The last trace of a crack in Lin Bingqing's Golden Core completely disappeared.

The Golden Core, originally dim due to being shattered, erupted with an intense golden light the moment the last crack vanished; this light even pierced through Lin Bingqing's body and shot up into the sky.

The radiance was even more dazzling than that of an ordinary Golden Core.

"I finally repaired my Golden Core!"

"After using so much True Qi to repair my Golden Core, it's now three-tenths stronger than my original Golden Core!"

Lin Bingqing was overjoyed.

She glanced at her dazzling golden Golden Core, immediately exited her Cultivation state, and wanted to thank Su Yang at the first opportunity.

Without Su Yang's help, she would have had no chance of repairing her Golden Core by herself; even if she could have, she wouldn't have been able to repair it in such a short amount of time.

"Su Yang, thank you!"

Lin Bingqing opened her eyes and saw Su Yang still with his eyes closed.

After these five days and five nights, and after Su Yang transmitted essence to her more than ten times consecutively, Lin Bingqing, as a woman who had given her first time to Su Yang, now looked at him with a distinctly different color in her eyes.

The coldness was gone, replaced by much of a woman's tenderness.

"Su Yang...?"

Lin Bingqing called out softly again.

But Su Yang still did not open his eyes.

Lin Bingqing frowned and immediately tried to sense Su Yang's current state.

They were still in a state of deep Cultivation, so just as Su Yang could sense her state changes immediately, she could naturally sense Su Yang's state changes immediately.

"You're about to Breakthrough..."

Lin Bingqing dared not get up and continued to sit on Su Yang.

At the same time, she also entered a Cultivation state, which would allow more Spiritual Qi to enter his body, aiding his Breakthrough...
