I Couldn't Bear to Send You Through Mountains of Knives and Seas of Fire

Lu Yang left the room, crossed the courtyard, and soon arrived at Su Jinxuan's room. He gently knocked on the door. "Elder Su, it's me. Are you busy?"

A few breaths later, the door opened, and Su Jinxuan stood inside, her cold and dignified eyes looking at Lu Yang, with a hint of flicker in them.

What brings you here?

Lu Yang chuckled, "Didn't I just say I wanted to check on your progress in cultivating the Golden Radiance Sword Canon? My Golden Radiance Sword Canon is already complete; I should be able to give you some pointers."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan paused, glancing at Lu Yang with a hint of surprise. "Your 'Golden Radiance Sword Canon' is already complete?"

It should be noted that the "Golden Radiance Sword Canon" is Heaven Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method, and it is also a fusion Cultivation Method of the Golden Sword and the Golden Radiance Sword, making it extremely difficult to cultivate.

Even though her cultivation level is already at the Nascent Soul Realm, and she has a fairly good understanding of Metal Dao and Sword Dao, and has the "Golden Rainbow Sword Canon" as a reference, she still hasn't completely mastered the basics.

Even if Lu Yang started cultivating earlier than her, it shouldn't be by much longer, right?

Is that all?

It's important to know that when she first started teaching Lu Yang the "Golden Rainbow Sword Canon," Lu Yang's understanding of the Metal Dao and the Sword Dao was far inferior to hers!

In less than a year, he had actually mastered both the Heaven Grade Supreme Quality Golden Sword Cultivation Method.

This rate of improvement is simply unimaginable, like something out of a monster.

Lu Yang nodded, a smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with pride. "How about it? Enough to guide you now, right? Before, you were the one guiding me; now, I can guide you too."

Thinking of their previous discussion, Su Jinxuan couldn't help but smile. She turned to the side, letting Lu Yang enter.

The guest rooms in Lu Yang's courtyard were very simple, but at this moment the air was filled with Su Jinxuan's unique fragrance.

Lu Yang glanced around and sat down directly on the edge of the bed.

Upon seeing this, Su Jinxuan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she firmly reminded her, "This is my bed!"

Lu Yang looked completely innocent. "I know, is there a problem?"

Seeing Lu Yang feigning ignorance, Su Jinxuan's breath hitched. She glared at him irritably and sat down on the futon beside her.

Then Su Jinxuan looked at Lu Yang and asked, "Nanyue said before that your cultivation level was at the Body Integration Realm? What exactly is your cultivation level?"

Lu Yang chuckled, "It's just the Foundation Establishment Realm. I simply have methods to raise my cultivation level."

Su Jinxuan frowned, a hint of worry in her voice. "Did you use a secret technique? Won't it affect your essence?"

She had never heard of a secret technique that could elevate one's cultivation from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Body Integration Realm. However, given Lu Yang's powerful background, it was not unreasonable for him to possess such a technique.

What she was worried about was that such secret techniques generally required consuming Essence Blood, and excessive use would affect cultivation.

Lu Yang sensed the worry in Su Jinxuan's tone, and a half-smile played on his lips as he looked at Su Jinxuan: "You're worried about me?"

Su Jinxuan paused, looking at Lu Yang with some surprise.

I have a feeling... that Lu Yang is very different now than before.

Although Lu Yang hadn't treated her as a Supreme Elder or a senior member of the sect before, he had treated her as a fellow Daoist, and there hadn't been much intimacy between them in their words and actions.

But things are different now. She... always felt that Lu Yang's gaze was quite aggressive, making her heart flutter and even inexplicably nervous.

However, even though Lu Yang was looking at her like that, she didn't feel displeased at all.

This is what Su Jinxuan fears most.

Su Jinxuan took a deep breath, slightly turned her head, and her majestic and aloof phoenix eyes swept over Lu Yang. As if discussing a trivial matter, she said in a calm tone, "Of course I'm worried. You and I are fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang stood up and sat down next to Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan could even feel Lu Yang's temperature and smell the fresh, sunny scent emanating from him.

This made Su Jinxuan's whole body tense up involuntarily.

She frowned, a hint of authority in her voice, and said, "Lu Yang, you're too close."

Lu Yang was not intimidated by Su Jinxuan's authoritative tone at all. He said, "It'll be easier to discuss the Dao if we get closer. Give me your hand."

Su Jinxuan paused, her fair hands clenching involuntarily beneath her sleeves, and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yang laughed and said, "You seem very afraid of me? Am I that scary? This is not like the proud Su Jinxuan I know."

Su Jinxuan pursed her red lips, secretly gritting her teeth.

That bastard...

If it weren't for him, any other man who dared to get this close to her would have been reduced to ashes long ago!

She had already been tolerant enough of him, and he still dared to tease her?!

Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yang's deep, star-like eyes were fixed on Su Jinxuan, her image reflected in his gaze.

Through Lu Yang's reflection in his eyes, Su Jinxuan saw a slight blush on her fair face.

This made her heart skip a beat; she... was actually blushing?

Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yang's gentle voice said, "I want to examine the Spiritual Qi within your body. Try circulating your Cultivation Method using the 'Golden Radiance Sword Canon,' and I can find out what problems you have with your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan suddenly understood.

Lu Yang just said that he came to help her cultivate the "Golden Radiance Sword Canon".

Although allowing the Spiritual Qi of other cultivators to enter one's body is extremely dangerous, it is generally only done between very close people.

However, as Lu Yang said, this method is the fastest to teach.

She naturally trusted Lu Yang, but... wasn't this a little too intimate?

Seeing that Su Jinxuan remained silent, Lu Yang chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"

Su Jinxuan glanced at him and silently extended her fair right hand.

Lu Yang gently grasped Su Jinxuan's hand, and Su Jinxuan's delicate body visibly trembled, as if she had fallen into a state of tension.

Seeing this, Lu Yang looked at Su Jinxuan with a mischievous grin. "Jinxuan, why are you so nervous? Am I the first man to touch your hand?"

Su Jinxuan glared coldly at Lu Yang with her phoenix eyes, gritting her teeth as she said, "Cultivation! Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Yang chuckled softly, tickling Su Jinxuan's palm with his fingers, causing Su Jinxuan to tremble again.

A flicker of panic crossed her eyes as she exclaimed, "Lu Yang!!"

Lu Yang laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's cultivate!"

The Spiritual Qi within him circulated, flowing along their clasped hands and into Su Jinxuan's body.

Now that he had begun to instruct Su Jinxuan on her cultivation, Lu Yang became serious.

He calmly said, "Jinxuan, try circulating the 'Golden Radiance Sword Canon'."

Jinxuan...

Hearing this intimate address, Su Jinxuan pursed her red lips slightly.

She then forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and began to seriously practice the "Golden Radiance Sword Canon".

Lu Yang also quietly sensed the circulation of Spiritual Qi within Su Jinxuan's body, noting which aspects of the circulation were problematic, which parts of the Spiritual Qi flow were sluggish, and when it was necessary to combine the laws of Metal Dao and Sword Dao Principle.

After Su Jinxuan circulated the Cultivation Method once, Lu Yang had a general understanding of Su Jinxuan's condition.

He smiled and said, "Alright, I understand the general situation now. Let's begin; I'll explain it to you step by step."

Su Jinxuan nodded silently. "Mm."

Afterwards, Lu Yang took out the "Golden Radiance Sword Canon Cultivation Method Secret Manual" and began to explain the various key points of the Golden Radiance Sword Canon, combining them with the Spiritual Qi he sensed from Su Jinxuan Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's understanding of the "Golden Radiance Sword Canon" was extremely profound. Every word he said made Su Jinxuan sometimes seem thoughtful, sometimes suddenly realize, and sometimes feel inexplicably surprised.

Lu Yang's explanation was quite exquisite, captivating her completely and immersing her in the understanding of the Cultivation Method.

However, after only a moment, she gradually frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lu Yang silently took out a teacup and brewed Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves for Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan only came back to her senses when she smelled the familiar aroma of tea.

She glanced at the Dao Comprehension Tea in front of her, a soft look appearing in her eyes. She silently accepted it and smiled gently at Lu Yang: "Lu Yang, thank you."

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "First, comprehend it."

Su Jinxuan nodded, drank the tea, and began to contemplate it earnestly.

So, the two explained things while drinking Dao Comprehension Tea and contemplating their insights, and time flew by.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Jinxuan's gains were immense.

In just two hours of enlightenment, combined with the Dao Comprehension Tea, she felt that she was only one step away from achieving minor success.

This rapid increase in speed excited even Su Jinxuan, Nascent Soul True Lord who had cultivated for many years, causing her pretty face to turn bright red.

Just then, the Sound Transmission Jade Token in Lu Yang's mind vibrated.

Lu Yang glanced at it; it was a message from Jiang Shiqing saying that they had already returned to the courtyard.

Lu Yang stopped explaining.

Su Jinxuan snapped out of her daze, glanced at Lu Yang, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "That's all for today. There are still some parts you haven't fully grasped, right? Carefully reflect on today's content, and we'll continue tomorrow."

A sense of regret welled up in Su Jinxuan's heart, but she knew that Lu Yang was right.

Although I gained a lot, I didn't have enough time to fully appreciate many of the contents.

She nodded. "Okay."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Yang, her phoenix eyes gleaming with tenderness. "Thank you, Lu Yang."

Lu Yang and Su Jinxuan locked eyes, and he suddenly grinned mischievously, "So, how do you plan to thank me?"

Su Jinxuan paused for a moment, then said seriously, "If you need my help, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Lu Yang slowly moved closer and smiled, "I can't bear to see you go through fire and water."

As Lu Yang's face drew closer, Su Jinxuan felt a tightness in her throat and a dryness in her mouth.

She opened her mouth. "Lu..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yang pressed the back of her head down, and their lips met.

Su Jinxuan's eyes widened, her usually cold and dignified gaze now filled with a blankness and confusion, her mind a complete void, as if she had lost her thoughts.
