58: Master, you don't want people to know about this either, do you?

This joke has gone too far!

Her two newly recruited Disciples, Ouyang Yaoxi and Wang Ming, were actually husband and wife!

Palace Master suddenly felt her head throbbing.

As their Revered Master, not only had she slept with her own Disciple...

...but she had actually slept with her own Disciple's man!

For a moment, looking at the respectful gaze in Ouyang Yaoxi's eyes, she wished she could just crawl into a hole and disappear!

"Revered Master, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Ouyang Yaoxi looked at her in confusion.

"It's nothing, just a bit tired from cultivating." Palace Master waved her hand. "Wang Ming is in seclusion. You should head back first; he will come find you once he's finished."

Ashamed to face Ouyang Yaoxi, she muttered a few words and hurriedly left.

"Why do I feel like Revered Master is avoiding me?"

Ouyang Yaoxi stared suspiciously at Palace Master's back, feeling that something was off.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

"Whatever. That guy Wang Ming is about to have another Breakthrough so soon; I can't let him leave me too far behind!"

Ouyang Yaoxi threw a punch at the air, vowing that sooner or later she would surpass Wang Ming and make him experience what it's like to be on the receiving end... [Ding! Host has completed the choice! Reward: Second Dantian!]

Inside Wang Ming's body, at the location of his Dantian, a phantom image gradually appeared.

It overlapped with the Dantian's position, yet it didn't exist in the same space!

It was as if it existed in another plane.

One yin and one yang, one illusory and one solid!

"This is the Second Dantian?"

Wang Ming looked inside his body and muttered to himself.

This Second Dantian was still just a prototype, its scale similar to when he first started Qi Condensation.

"Does this mean I have to Cultivate through the Realms all over again?"

Wang Ming pondered for a moment, took out a handful of qi gathering pills, and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Boom!

Violent spiritual power instantly exploded within his body!

He quickly focused his mind and began his technique, attempting to pour strands of spiritual power into the Second Dantian.

Half an hour later.

Inside that Second Dantian, a very thin strand of spiritual power finally appeared.

This was the symbol of stepping into the Qi Condensation First Layer!

"It's such a glutton?!"

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

The handful of qi gathering pills he had just swallowed contained enough spiritual power to, without exaggeration, allow a beginner to reach the Qi Condensation Seventh Layer or even the eighth in one go!

Yet he had only barely reached Foundation Establishment Layer One!

In other words, if he wanted to Cultivate the Second Dantian to the same level as his first, the resources required would be at least dozens or even hundreds of times more!

With such a massive consumption of resources, his combat power could no longer be categorized by conventional Realms.

Perhaps, once the Second Dantian reached Foundation Establishment, even without using any of his other methods, he would be invincible against anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm just by relying on this Second Dantian!

"A pity, I only got one reward this time."

Wang Ming recalled how he had initially planned to just put on an act at the beginning.

Once everything settled, he intended to turn his passive position into an active one and win over Palace Master's heart and body in one fell swoop.

But who would have thought that Palace Master actually possessed the extremely rare Extreme Yin Physique!

An incredibly vast amount of primordial yin power had mysteriously surged into Wang Ming's body, forcing him to focus all his energy on refining it.

By the time he finished refining, Palace Master was long gone.

Thus, he had no way to complete the first choice.

"However, it's not all bad news."

Wang Ming looked inside his first Dantian; those thousands of drops of liquefied spiritual power had now fused together to form a very rough, spherical object.

False Core!

Palace Master's primordial yin power hadn't allowed him to step directly into the Core Formation Realm, but it had brought him to the False Core realm, which lay between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation!

A False Core isn't a true Core Formation, but it allows one to Revered Master certain techniques that only Core Formation experts can use.

For example... manipulating the Origin Qi of heaven and earth!

Wang Ming spread his palm, and the lightning elements between heaven and earth immediately gathered toward his hand, condensing into several dancing arcs of electricity that circled his fingertips.

"Revered Master, Palace Master is back," You Rong's voice drifted out from the shadows.

As Wang Ming's personal guard, You Rong had always remained by his side.

Wang Ming nodded slightly. With a thought, the electrical arcs on his fingertips transformed back into lightning elements and returned to the Origin Qi of the world.

"System, if I complete the choice now, will the rewards still be settled normally?"

He still couldn't forget that Golden Left Kidney.

Zero cooldown!

Skipping the sage mode entirely!

What man wouldn't be tempted? Moreover, given his status and the System's nature, he would surely be surrounded by all kinds of stunning beauties in the future!

This kidney must be strong!

[Once a choice is triggered, unless a specific time limit is stated, it remains a permanent optional task!]

[As long as it is completed, rewards can be settled normally!]

The System's voice echoed in Wang Ming's mind.

"Good, good, good. If you put it that way, then I'm going to get started!"

Wang Ming instantly became excited.

Earlier, he had been so focused on absorbing the primordial yin power that he hadn't had the chance to properly enjoy himself.

This time, no matter what, he had to make up for that regret!

"Sigh~"

Just then, a complex sigh rang out in the area.

The voice was heard, but no one was seen.

"What happened just now was entirely because your Revered Master suffered a Qi Deviation. I will give you some compensation for this. You... should just act as if nothing ever happened."

Act as if nothing happened?

Is this a joke? After having her fill, she wants to just walk away?

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Wang Ming discovered Palace Master almost instantly.

He took a step forward and appeared directly in front of Palace Master. Before she could react, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Revered Master, you wouldn't want everyone in the sect to know about this, would you?"
