Seeing this scene, Hebi’s face changed slightly.
Nonetheless, he sat directly across from Shen Yumo and spoke again: "My dear junior sister, do not forget, in a year it will be the grand competition between true disciples of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect.
The Sect Leader and the Crystal Stage Elders have presented many treasures as rewards, which will greatly affect the resource allocation within our lineage in the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, impacting the master’s push to reach Crystal Perfection.
And potentially breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm in the future is not out of reach.
Brother came here for this reason, to discuss it thoroughly with you, junior sister."
"Then wait until a year passes when you come back, senior brother."
Shen Yumo spoke, exhibiting slight Spiritual Pressure from her Early-stage Crystal Cultivation, hinting at the power to break through to Mid-stage Crystal Cultivation, almost matching her senior brother Hebi’s strength.
Seeing Hebi did not intend to leave, Shen Yumo’s eyes became colder.
She stood up.
Gripping the Ice Spirit Sword at her waist, she said unceremoniously, "Are you planning to spar with me today, junior sister?"
Hebi was briefly stunned, and quickly replied, "In that case, maybe not."
After these words.
He turned into a Spiritual Light and fled into the distance.
Zheng Yi had just arrived at the courtyard when he sensed another unfamiliar powerful Crystal Stage aura soaring into the sky.
Using the Celestial Profound Sword Sect disciple token.
Zheng Yi moved unobstructed and swiftly arrived at the bamboo grove just now.
Zheng Yi didn’t ask.
Shen Yumo proactively said, "That was my senior brother from the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, his cultivation is at Mid-stage Crystal Realm."
Zheng Yi raised his brows and chuckled lightly.
Seemingly indifferent: "I am about to leave the Wang Family and head to the Dragon Blood Mine in the Mortal World Quarter, using the Dragon Blood Ore vein as the family base, hoping the true disciples of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect can look the other way.
Even if only out of consideration for our relationship."
Zheng Yi candidly broached their relationship as a bargaining chip.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yumo’s figure flickered.
She came directly in front of Zheng Yi, the two were very close.
Shen Yumo’s cool gaze fell on Zheng Yi, asking coldly, "What is the relationship between you and me?"
Zheng Yi was fearless, speaking calmly: "The elder did mention last time that we are companions."
Shen Yumo let out a soft laugh and replied, "That will be after you break through to the Crystal Realm, only then can you openly be my companion and let the Celestial Profound Sword Sect and my master consent to this matter."
Facing these challenges, Zheng Yi’s tone was more nonchalant than before: "Is the Crystal Stage cultivation really difficult?"
He smiled effortlessly, as his Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation expanded, while the Power of Divine Soul from his grade two Alchemist immediately enveloped Shen Yumo before him.
He naturally used the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, for if he deployed the potent Divine Sense of the Golden Core Stage, Shen Yumo wouldn’t spare him.
Zheng Yi also didn’t want to create trouble for himself.
Feeling this Divine Sense, Shen Yumo’s thoughts churned and understood the situation within the Wang Family in merely a quarter of an hour.
After all, the wisdom of Crystal Stage cultivators is not to be underestimated.
Shen Yumo spoke again: "Okay."
She succinctly agreed.
Zheng Yi nodded, expressing gratitude before turning to leave.
Suddenly, a breeze with a faint fragrance brushed by.
Next, a soft touch was upon his back, with orchid scent gently stroked his ears, a voice tenderly resounding: "Do you intend to leave so easily after arriving?"
A pair of delicate arms wrapped around his waist.
Lightly tugging the side tie, the wide robe immediately loosened.
Zheng Yi turned around slowly.
Facing the charming face of a woman was before him.
The two unrestrainedly kissed passionately, their fiery bodies quickly moved to the bedroom deep in the bamboo grove, intertwining like Celestial Thunder captivating Earth Fire.
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by three hundred and fifty."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by four hundred and twenty."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Body, lifespan increased by four hundred."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Wind Spirit Root increased by five."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Wind Spirit Root increased by seventeen."
This passion lasted all afternoon, until six ten when the movement inside gradually subsided.
Zheng Yi dressed, glanced at Shen Yumo continuing her Grand Circulation cultivation sitting on the bed, while silently sensing his own Spiritual Power.
His Mid-stage Foundation Establishment was stable and had taken a big step forward.
At this rate, it won’t be long before the barrier of Late-stage Foundation Establishment is about to break.
Zheng Yi wasn’t worried about his rapid breakthroughs causing instability, as his body’s nature had already reached the Golden Core Realm, these stages were naturally attained, without concern.
Zheng Yi left the Celestial Star Courtyard.
Lanlan quietly followed beside him.
Zheng Yi engaged in simple conversation with her: "How are things in the Celestial Profound Sword Sect?"
Lanlan’s expression showed slight change, she glanced at Zheng Yi.
Truthfully informing: "Though the Celestial Profound Sword Sect is a renowned and righteous sect, competition among disciples is fierce.
On the surface, everyone follows the rules, yet privately there are no shortage of sordid affairs.
Currently, in our Celestial Profound Sword Sect, the Situ Family’s late-stage Crystal chief has closed for meditation.
Miss takes her master and recruits disciples, with her Crystal Stage cultivation, complies with sect procedures."
As long as you return to the Celestial Profound Sword Sect someday, son, with the Identity Token, go through the procedures, you can officially enter the sect, no need to worry about others."
Lanlan assumed Zheng Yi was concerned about his own entry, whereas Zheng Yi pondered the overall competitive situation of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect.
In thought.
The facade of rule-following was rather like the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain, the Celestial Profound Sword Sect seemed viable as a temporary shelter.
Upon comprehending all this.
Zheng Yi departed straightforwardly, without a trace of reluctance.
Lanlan watched all of this, waves stirred in her heart.
Once back beside the miss.
She arrived at the quiet cottage in the bamboo grove.
As per miss’s instructions.
She gently pushed open the door, walking in respectfully.
"Miss." Lanlan couldn’t help but ask.
"Young Master Zheng seems indifferent toward Miss.
Miss in the Celestial Profound Sword Sect is recognized for her beauty likened to a heavenly fairy with nobility and elegance, her cultivation aptitude drives numerous prodigies to pursue.
What makes him act so aloof?"
Speaking as such, Lanlan’s emotions were exposed entirely, evidently an attempt to vindicate her miss.
"He is different."
At this time Shen Yumo’s cultivation had concluded.
The pure Spiritual Power gained from dual cultivation with Zheng Yi and the large amount of Spiritual Power transformed by cultivation techniques had already been absorbed entirely.
Shen Yumo descended from the bed, with a gentle motion of her right hand, the white lotus silk garments hanging at the bedside fell upon her, within moments, the clothing was neatly dressed.
She briefly explained.
Then left the bed, strolling within the bamboo grove.
At this moment.
She only felt the embrace of Yin and Yang, the way of Yin Yang Union enhanced her cultivation and state of mind to unprecedented levels of joy and clarity.
Furthermore, such dual cultivation was not a mere replenishment path.
It immensely benefited both cultivators, otherwise Zheng Yi’s cultivation progress wouldn’t be advancing so swiftly.
Indeed.
Her support as a powerful Crystal Stage cultivator was essential.
"A year later, I will take him back to the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, by then he must break through to the Crystal Realm, and my cultivation likely competes with my master’s."
In front of Lanlan, Shen Yumo rarely expressed her thoughts candidly.
Upon hearing this.
Lanlan bowed respectfully lower.
In the subsequent days, Zheng Yi trained at home.
But each time halfway through cultivation, a familiar and clear aura abruptly appeared in his Cultivation Courtyard.
The arrays set outside to defend Foundation Establishment cultivators were futile against Shen Yumo, a guardian of the Celestial South Market with Crystal Stage cultivation.
She moved unfazed.
Though not forcibly interrupting Zheng Yi’s Grand Circulation, she eagerly rushed towards him.
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by one thousand."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by one thousand two hundred."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increased by one thousand one hundred seventy."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Wind Spirit Root increased by thirty-five."
"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Wind Spirit Root increased by forty-two."
