Greater Yin Spirit Body
The spiritual mist at the summit flowed slowly. Upon hearing this, Pang Zhao and Xu Youling looked at Lu Yang with a questioning look in their eyes.
Lu Yang smiled and nodded, explaining, "Senior Brother Qi Fang is the sect leader's True Disciple. The sect leader sent him to guide you, presumably to arrange accommodations for you."
Pang Zhao nodded silently, not looking down on Qi Fang because of his status as a Daoist disciple of the Supreme Mystic Dao Sect. Instead, he smiled freely and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young friend Qi."
Xu Youling was not as gentle and friendly as she was when she was with Lu Yang and Jiang Shiqing. Her pretty face had a more aloof and detached air about her. She simply nodded slightly and did not say anything.
Qi Fang glanced furtively at Xu Youling, then forced a warm smile at Pang Zhao and said, "No trouble at all! Daoist, please; Holy Maiden, please!"
Qi Fang led the two of them, transforming into a rainbow of light and flying towards the Sect Master's Peak, leaving only Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue behind.
After Qi Fang and the other two left, Mu Yunxue seemed to come to her senses and looked at Lu Yang with a questioning look in her eyes, as if asking when they would go for a dual cultivation discussion.
Lu Yang smiled helplessly, pinching Mu Yunxue's aloof and beautiful face, twisting her exquisite features slightly. A hint of helplessness and embarrassment surfaced in her calm eyes as she gently pushed Lu Yang's hand away. "Don't pinch my face like that."
Lu Yang didn't care about Mu Yunxue's embarrassment at all, and chuckled, "It felt so good, I couldn't resist. Let's go, Yingying has come out of seclusion. I haven't seen her in a long time, and I want to see her. I also have some things to say to her."
Mu Yunxue pursed her red lips. Although she felt it was normal for Lu Yang to go see his dao companion, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and unhappy.
She discovered that she was now experiencing emotions she had never felt before, due to some of Lu Yang's actions.
Am I jealous?
Mu Yunxue never imagined that one day she would be like an ordinary woman, getting angry and jealous over matters concerning her dao companion.
Seeing Mu Yunxue pursing her cherry lips, Lu Yang said softly, "After this is all over, I'll spend some time discussing the Dao with you."
A hint of joy welled up uncontrollably in Mu Yunxue's heart, and then she silently nodded. "Okay."
Qin Nanyue and the other two women listened silently to their conversation, and Qin Nanyue couldn't help but click her tongue twice in her mind.
This Mu Yunxue was once a renowned genius in the sect, possessing Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root. She broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in a short period of time, with exceptional talent in the Metal Dao. She was also aloof and indifferent, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao.
Unexpectedly, after only a few months with this lecherous man, she has transformed into a woman who gets jealous and actively seeks pleasure.
However, upon hearing Lu Yang say that Lin Ying had emerged from seclusion, Qin Nanyue was quite pleasantly surprised. She eagerly exclaimed, "Yingying's out of seclusion? Then let's hurry back!"
Lu Yang nodded, while Jiang Shiqing said, "Young Master, Senior Sister Yaoyao and I will go back to our cave abode to tidy up. The cave abode has been uninhabited for some time now."
Lu Yang chuckled and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Liu Yaoyao and Jiang Shiqing headed towards Lu Yang's cave abode, while Lu Yang led Qin Nanyue and Mu Yunxue along the mountain path towards Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying's cave abode.
As night gradually falls, the ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road are shrouded in mist, and the chirping of insects comes and goes, creating a rare sense of tranquility.
Upon entering the cave abode, Qin Nanyue immediately shouted, "Yingying! I'm back! Lu Yang is here!"
Soon, the stone door to the Alchemy Chamber inside the cave abode opened, and Lin Ying, looking somewhat disheveled, hurried out. Her sleeves were rolled up, her hair was slightly messy, and there were still some medicinal residues on her cheeks, making her look like she had just come from in Pill Furnace.
Upon seeing Lu Yang, a look of surprise appeared in her gentle eyes. She immediately ran over, hugged Lu Yang, and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
"Lu Yang, I heard you went to deal with the Blood Devil Hall, so I didn't mean to disturb you. By the way, I've broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and am currently learning a new second-tier Pill Formula. It won't be long before I become a second-tier Alchemist..."
Lin Ying spoke gently, with a hint of surprise in her voice, explaining her current situation little by little.
Lu Yang held Lin Ying in his arms, listening quietly with a gentle smile on his face. He didn't interrupt her; Lin Ying's gentle nature always gave him a sense of peace.
Qin Nanyue, who was standing to the side, glanced at Mu Yunxue, quietly tugged at her sleeve, and gave her a meaningful look.
Mu Yunxue glanced at Lu Yang and Lin Ying, who were embracing each other, nodded silently, and left with Qin Nanyue.
Lu Yang, who remained in the cave abode, listened to Lin Ying's account. Gradually, as Lin Ying spoke, she suddenly sensed something was wrong, as if she had felt something, and her body stiffened slightly.
She looked up, her eyes like water, with a hint of coquettishness, a touch of shyness, and a dash of anticipation, and said, "Lu Yang, you're so naughty."
Even with Lu Yang's thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, the atmosphere was so nice, yet he was thinking about all sorts of random things. But he still said matter-of-factly, "I can't help it. It's been so long since I've seen you, Yingying. I miss you, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying bit her full lower lip, her eyes glistening with tears, and remained silent.
Lu Yang immediately understood Lin Ying's thoughts. He picked her up and walked towards the bedroom, then a mischievous smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I'm much stronger than before now, so you'd better be prepared."
Lin Ying's somewhat rough voice came through, tinged with a hint of resentment. "I know, I also know that during my seclusion, Nanyue was also taken by you, as well as that Senior Sister Mu, and Senior Sister Yaoyao... You're really something."
Lu Yang: "Uh..."
More than three hours later, the wind and rain stopped.
Lin Ying's initial resentment had long since vanished.
She had originally thought that since she had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and her physical body had greatly improved, she could hold on for a while longer. However, the result was even more frightening than she had imagined.
She refrained from asking Qin Nanyue for help, clinging to the last shred of her composure.
Lu Yang looked at Lin Ying, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Although he wasn't quite satisfied, Lin Ying finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, which made Lu Yang quite happy.
On the one hand, after the breakthrough, Lin Ying's lifespan will increase, and she will naturally be able to stay by his side in the future, which is naturally a good thing for Lu Yang.
On the other hand, as long as Lin Ying becomes a second-tier Alchemist and refines another top-grade pill, she will be able to complete the first stage of her training.
At that time, both he and Lin Ying will receive rewards from the Beauty Cultivation Plan.
Hmm... Lin Ying can refine Supreme-Grade Origin-Nurturing Pill.
After all, the random task was to refine a High-Grade Origin-Nurturing Pill, so it was a good opportunity to complete the random task as well.
However, Lin Ying is too tired right now, let's talk about it after she's rested.
Then Lu Yang remembered that he could get a reward for adding Xu Youling as a friend.
He opened the panel and began to check the rewards.
