Essence Absorption (Yin for Yang), Moonlight Spirit Pill!

"Do you feel a cool energy entering your body now? That coolness is my acquired Yin essence.

It will begin to travel through your limbs and bones.

In a moment, you'll also feel a warmth deep in your marrow, like something being drawn out. Don't resist. That's your male Yang energy."

"When these two energies meet and intertwine, Yin will give birth to Yang, and imperceptibly, your spiritual energy will benefit, becoming more refined and pure."

"You know, this is an effect only found in top-grade Spirit Transformation Pills. You're getting off easy today."

"Don't resist. All you need to do is enjoy it to the fullest, immerse yourself in it."

"Don't you feel incredibly lucky? This ultimate pleasure, both physical and mental, is something most people never get the chance for."

"..."

"Huh? Your Yang energy is astonishingly potent! It's unlike anyone else's. I wouldn't have guessed. Have you consumed some spiritual fruits...? Hahaha, no matter what, it seems I've struck gold today too."

"..."

Beside the clear pool, Zhou Cui Feng moved with extreme gentleness, like a seductive snake.

Even though Su Hao knew the danger, he almost lost himself in it.

This was an experience he'd never had in two lifetimes.

As expected of a disciple from Joy Peak, skilled in the art of dual cultivation!

She alone possessed the ability to make a man's soul tremble.

Su Hao couldn't even imagine what a wondrous experience it would be with a remarkable woman like Liu Mei.

While he appeared lost in the moment, he was actually steadying his mind.

Meanwhile, Zhou Cui Feng suddenly discovered the special nature of Su Hao's physique! "The thickness of your Yang energy is already comparable to Joy Peak's second-grade talents..."

"If I drain you completely, I'll definitely break through to Qi Refining Level 6!"

"I'm set for life! No wonder some of the senior sisters said Heavenly Medicine Mountain was a treasure trove, with all the men there being pampered and plump by Lin Zhi Shan."

Zhou Cui Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

Her voice wasn't low; she wasn't afraid of Su Hao hearing.

At this stage, any normal man would have completely succumbed to his desires.

She had already gained complete control, and even if Su Hao woke up, it would be too late!

The two forces, Yin and Yang, grew stronger.

Like a snowball rolling downhill, they surged and gathered within Su Hao's body.

Whether it was absorption or dual cultivation, one part Yin energy was matched with one part Yang energy, blending together.

To absorb a certain amount of Yang energy from the other, Zhou Cui Feng had to mobilize an equal amount of Yin energy.

But the amount of Yang energy within Su Hao was simply astounding.

Zhou Cui Feng's acquired Yin essence was almost depleted, yet she still couldn't completely extract all of Su Hao's Yang energy.

"It seems I'll have to do this in multiple sessions.

Kid, I'll let you enjoy it a few more times. Consider it my way of making up for it, turning you into a romantic ghost."

Zhou Cui Feng became increasingly frenzied and fierce.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the secret technique was nearing its end.

She took a deep breath and prepared to conclude the process.

Su Hao's Yang energy was too immense. After the session, she would need to meditate and rest for a while. She laughed heartily, "In all my years at Golden Light Sect, today has been the happiest."

"Senior Sister Zhou, I feel the same way! After so many days in the sect, today has been the most exhilarating!"

Su Hao, who should have lost his reason and been consumed by desire, opened his eyes at some point, his gaze clear.

Zhou Cui Feng could absorb Yang to nourish Yin; he, in turn, could absorb Yin to nourish Yang. It all depended on who was more capable!

"Su Hao, you..." Zhou Cui Feng froze, looking at Su Hao in disbelief.

She was shocked that Su Hao had maintained his sanity and terrified to find that she could no longer control the Yin essence she had placed within him.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for assisting my cultivation!"

Su Hao actively mobilized his entire Yang energy, gathering the latent power within his limbs and bones in an instant, directly enveloping the Yin-Yang energy within his body.

This energy was broken down strand by strand, becoming nourishment for his body – part of it transforming into spiritual energy, and part of it nourishing his internal organs and marrow.

"Su Hao, you actually have the strength of Qi Refining Level 6! No... please, spare me!"

Zhou Cui Feng screamed in terror as she sensed Su Hao's fully revealed spiritual energy fluctuations.

Under normal circumstances, absorbing from a cultivator one minor realm higher wouldn't be a major issue.

However, Su Hao's Yang energy was too potent. With Yin in a weakened state due to Yang's dominance, Zhou Cui Feng was at a disadvantage in terms of both strength and Yin essence, and she suffered severe backlash.

At the same time, Su Hao had mastered the Yin-Yang Harmonization Heaven and Earth Scroll, a secret technique of which the absorption method was a part.

While his mastery of secret techniques might not surpass Zhou Cui Feng's, he knew the flaws in this particular method.

At this critical moment, Su Hao took the initiative.

"Please, Su Hao, spare me. If you let me go, I'll recognize you as my master and serve you for life."

Zhou Cui Feng pleaded miserably, her face growing pale and her body breaking out in a sweat. If she lost all her Yin essence, she would die from Yin depletion, her fate no better than that desiccated corpse!

Su Hao didn't answer, focusing intently on refining the Yin essence.

Zhou Cui Feng's voice grew weaker as the last trace of Yin essence within her was uncontrollably drawn towards Su Hao. Her delicate body visibly withered, her hair turned white, and she collapsed to the side, looking like a withered old woman of sixty or seventy.

"Qi Refining Level 7!"

Su Hao rose from the ground, his spirit invigorated. He glanced at Zhou Cui Feng's desiccated corpse and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your fulfillment!"

He had gained Joy Peak's secret technique out of nowhere. This technique was one of Joy Peak's core secrets, not recorded in the library, and inaccessible to ordinary people. He had initially thought that a cultivation method like this, which harmed others for one's own benefit, would have side effects. However, the essence was incredibly pure, with no side effects. Directly draining the Yin essence of a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator was more effective than a top-grade spirit pill.

"No wonder Zhou Cui Feng, Liu Mei, and others were so keen on absorbing Yang energy."

Su Hao gathered spiritual energy in his hand, which gradually formed a ball of flame and fell directly onto the two desiccated corpses. In an instant, the corpses and their clothes erupted in flames.

Su Hao hadn't forgotten Zhou Cui Feng's storage bag. However, the contents were somewhat disappointing. There were many palace dresses, skirts, undergarments, and rouge and powder. Besides these, there were some low-value pills, such as those for nourishing Yin, beautifying the complexion, and enhancing pleasure. The most valuable item was a red silk type magic artifact. In total, its value at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was probably only a little over a hundred spirit stones. It was useless to him and difficult to sell.

"The red silk is likely a magic artifact commonly used by female cultivators of Joy Peak. If I were to flaunt it, it might expose this incident and invite retaliation. Keeping it is a major hidden danger."

Su Hao thought for a moment and took only one bottle of a mysterious pill that had no label, its effects uncertain. He then threw the rest of the items, along with the storage bag, into the fire.

In the dead of night.

"Comprehend the Pill Dao Scripture."

Su Hao carefully studied the book on alchemy. After spending some time at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he understood the importance of alchemy; it was an indispensable auxiliary skill. The reason Lin Zhi Shan could occupy a whole mountain and name it Heavenly Medicine Mountain was fundamentally due to his alchemy skills. Even the Outer Sect deacons and elders treated him with courtesy. With this skill, he could receive considerable profit sharing from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion every month. Su Hao's current priority was to investigate the information about that unknown pill.

"Moonlight Spirit Pill? It seems to be top-grade!"

Su Hao discovered the origin of the pill. It was a cultivation pill even more precious than the Tiger Heart Pill, worth at least ten times as much! Pills were divided into four grades: Mortal, Spirit, Profound, and Dao, each with four qualities: top-grade, high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade. Pure Origin Pills and Tiger Heart Pills were merely at the Mortal Pill level. Top-grade pills were at least fifty percent more potent than high-grade pills.

Suddenly, a delicate voice came from outside the courtyard, "Junior Brother Su!"

Liu Mei! Su Hao's expression changed slightly. Why was she here? Could it be that the matter had been exposed?
