The Mistress Detoxifies You Su (5k)

He Shutong practices the Ice Heart Technique Ice Heart Technique, which cannot be changed once mastered. However, since she wants to learn the Yang Sword, she naturally has some knowledge of the various mental cultivation manuals of the Heaven and Earth Yin Joyous Union Sect.

The Joyous Union Technique) is a method of dual cultivation, but it discusses the Dao based on Yin and Yang, which is actually consistent with the views of many great cultivators. However, the "Yin and Yang" here have specific meanings: Yin refers to the Yin within Li (离), which refers to the Yin Essence of women; Yang refers to the Yang within Kan (坎), which refers to the Yang Essence of men.

In the eyes of the founder of Joyous Union Technique (a type of Qigong), Yin and Yang are in perfect balance, and life is endless. If either is lacking, then nothing can be born.

The first half of the sentence describes the powerful effects of dual cultivation brought about by the harmony of Yin and Yang, while the second half describes the harm caused by the lack of either Yin or Yang.

Normally, the Yin Yang Qi in the human body are in a delicate balance, and it is rare for one to be extremely deficient.

However, those who practice the Joyous Union Technique are a special case. When the founder created this Cultivation Method, he was aiming for the strongest dual cultivation effect. So, if you ask how to achieve the best dual cultivation effect, the best way is naturally to use the purest Yin Yang Qi for dual cultivation.

Therefore, one of the major functions of the Joyous Union Technique is to enable male disciples who have practiced this method since childhood to become nearly pure Yang and female disciples to become nearly pure Yin, thus laying a solid foundation for future dual cultivation.

The way to protect these disciples with vastly different Yin and Yang energies from the harm caused by their imbalance is through the Heaven Scroll within the Joyous Union Technique. Under the Cultivation Method the Heaven Scroll, the Initial Essence within the male and female disciples becomes extremely mysterious, continuously absorbing excess Yang Essence from the disciples' bodies, maintaining a "false" balance of Yin and Yang. At the same time, the Initial Essence within the male and female disciples, like a pearl endlessly polished within a shell, can provide their partners with unparalleled pure essence during their first dual cultivation session.

This is why disciples of the Joyous Union Sect achieve far greater results in dual cultivation than those of other sects. After all, while you treat dual cultivation as an auxiliary method, they are professionals trained from a young age...

However, those who practice the Joyous Union Technique are ultimately not truly pure Yang or pure Yin in nature. This "false" balance will be broken after the Initial Essence ejaculation of male and female disciples, since the Yang Essence and Yin Essence generated later will certainly not be as effective as the Initial Essence.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't even be considered a problem in the Joyous Union Sect. Since you've already ejaculated your Initial Essence, it means you've already engaged in dual cultivation. From now on, the excess Yin Yang Qi in your body don't need to wait for the Yin Essence or Yang Essence to be absorbed; they can be directly fed back to your cultivation partner for further cultivation—isn't that wonderful?

But this problem became a real problem for You Su...

Although he and his junior sister have already practiced dual cultivation, his junior sister isn't by his side...

You Su was at the prime of his life, full of vigor and Blood Qi. Such a healthy young man naturally possessed abundant yang energy. Furthermore, having practiced the Joyous Union Technique Gong (a type of qigong) since childhood, his body was undoubtedly in a state of extreme yang excess and yin deficiency. Now that his initial yang energy had been depleted, this naturally formed excess yang energy could not be fully absorbed and had nowhere to be released, accumulating in his body to the point of being almost poisonous.

He Shutong frowned, looking at You Su's distorted face, feeling a pang of pity.

She slowly reached out her hand again, hesitated for a moment, and then gently placed it on You Su's body, focusing on sensing the state of the Yang Poison within him.

He Shutong bit her red lips lightly, her eyes filled with self-reproach.

Has he really managed to get to where he is today with such a weakened body?

He became like this because of me...

She certainly didn't think that You Su became like this because he bathed in the same pool with her. Rather, she knew that the key to You Su's Yang poisoning was the two consecutive battles where he overexerted himself, and that her taking You Su as her disciple was the cause of those two battles.

A strong Yang leads to longevity, while a weak Yang leads to premature death. Yang energy is the driving force that maintains the body's strength and health, and it has the important functions of warming and nourishing the whole body and maintaining the organs. When a person is seriously ill or injured, the body will spontaneously generate more Yang energy to repair the body.

The yang energy in You Su's body should not have been this strong. It was because of continuous combat and physical depletion that You Su's body was eager to recover, which generated more yang energy, leading to an imbalance of yang and yang, like adding fuel to the fire or making things worse, which resulted in the yang energy becoming so strong that it became toxic.

What she didn't know was that this was only one of the Central Plains. Another reason was that You Su cultivated the Sun Yang Sword Nurturing Art, which made the yang energy You Su cultivated exceptionally pure.

"Well..."

He Shutong sighed softly; she never imagined such a thing would happen.

She couldn't possibly stand idly by while You Su was in this state. Once the Yang Poison spread throughout her body, not only would she suffer greatly, but it would also damage her foundation, obstruct her Dao Path, and make it extremely difficult to expel it...

But how could she expel this yang energy in time? If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have let Ji Lingruo return to the Eastern Ying Continent so soon...

Besides Ji Lingruo, who else can we ask for help?

Or... how about we give Wangshu to him as his dao companion?

He Shutong gently patted her slightly flushed cheeks, trying to clear her mind.

Wangshu is innocent and naive; how could she irresponsibly make such a decision for Wangshu? Besides, it wouldn't be fair to Ji Lingruo either.

Who else is close to You Su...? The Third Elder?

He Shutong shook her head, immediately rejecting the answer. Though she was detached from worldly affairs, she had heard some rumors. The Third Elder, as a female cultivator from the mountain peak, utterly despised men; this was probably why, despite her icy indifference, the Third Elder was willing to take the initiative to show her kindness. Furthermore, given the vast difference in their status and age, why would the Third Elder do such a thing for someone else's junior...?

Why not just find a few celestial prostitutes who sell their bodies in exchange for cultivation resources?

But You Su is upright and virtuous; wouldn't doing this be an insult to him? He is a pure, unpolished gem; how could she go to such a person to defile him?

He Shutong felt ashamed that she could have such thoughts. She suddenly seemed to deflate, her body slumping halfway down. The cold pool water reached her lips, and You Su's chiseled profile was right in front of her.

He Shutong knew from the moment this question arose that the only person who could help him now was herself.

All those unrealistic solutions she just mentioned were nothing more than self-deception and an inability to accept reality...

You Su's painful murmurs grew louder and louder, He Shutong finally understood what he was saying:

"Mistress... I really... didn't mean to..."

He Shutong's gaze was like water. She understood that this was the sentence You Su wanted to say but didn't before he lost consciousness. He was afraid that she would misunderstand and think he had romantic feelings for her. Even though he was in pain and delirious at this moment, he hadn't forgotten this last insistence. In his heart, she had always been the sacred and inviolable Mistress of his master.

Since even he thinks this way, what do I have to worry about or hesitate about?

He Shutong suddenly stood up in the water, creating a series of clear, cool splashes. Without the obscuring mist, her unparalleled Goddess -like body finally revealed its breathtaking beauty.

She bit her red lips, a blush of shyness rising on her delicate face, yet her eyes shone brightly, filled with unwavering determination. She took a piece of brocade and gently covered You Su's eyes.

He became like this because he wanted to become her disciple, so it's only right that she should be the one to cure him of the poison.

This has nothing to do with romantic love; it's simply a Mistress's obsession with saving her disciple.

That night, the Lotus Sword Venerable, who had wielded a sword for over a hundred years, gently grasped the second "sword" in her life.

Bihua Peak is not particularly high, but its majestic shape is its greatest feature.

It is covered with all kinds of Immortal Plant that never fade throughout the four seasons, and at the center of the peak is a special towering tree. It is said that the Third Elder attained Comprehending the Dao and broke through to the Void Glimpse Realm under this tree, which is why this ancient immortal tree has a unique name - Illuminating Ancient and Present).

On a night with Illuminating Ancient and Present, is adorned with a crystalline white light. The umbrella-shaped canopy blocks out the sun, resembling a Sky Lantern from afar. The fireflies of the entire tree, gathered together, are enough to rival the bright moon, illuminating the pitch-black surroundings.

A gentle breeze rustled the sacred tree, causing its leaves to fall like shooting stars, creating a scene that was both dreamlike and surreal.

Illuminating Ancient and Present bookshelf was a chaise longue, with several wine jars overturned beside it, the flowing wine soaking the various books carelessly discarded on the ground.

The beautiful woman in the green dress leaned against the chaise longue, but her posture was rather unladylike, her mature and beautiful body revealing boundless allure. Fortunately, this place was a forbidden area of Bihua Peak, and no one except the Peak Master was allowed to enter, so no one could see her seductive manner.

The Third Elder carried a wine gourd in one hand and an ancient book in the other, flipping through it in the Illuminating Ancient and Present. He drank heavily as he turned the pages, his brows furrowed tightly, drinking alone in solitude, his sorrows unresolved.

She suddenly flung the ancient book in her hand away, and smashed the wine gourd on the ground with a thud.

"This is absolutely infuriating!"

The Third Elder sat up straight, his face showing a hint of reproach, with a slight flush on his cheeks.

The rumors were true; the Third Elder loathed men, though she never admitted it. But in reality, not only did she loathe men, but the object of her affections wasn't even a man...

Both being elders of the same sect and both being female Venerables, the Thirteenth Elder possessed unparalleled beauty and an icy demeanor. Her Lotus Birth Sword Technique was unmatched by any man in the world, and like her, she kept men at arm's length. Therefore, even though she was nearly a hundred years older than the Thirteenth Elder, she eventually developed some feelings that shouldn't have been there, but the Thirteenth Elder rarely showed her any affection.

Therefore, after learning that the other party had cultivated the Ice Heart Technique, which led to the loss of emotions and nature, she painstakingly searched for a way to break the Ice Heart Technique. Now, seeing that the Thirteenth Elder's cultivation had greatly declined in order to break the Ice Heart Technique, she felt even more sorry for him, which is why she searched through the classics to find a way to remedy the spiritual platform.

But while she's here, pouring her heart and soul into the recovery of Lotus Sword Venerable, what is Lotus Sword Venerable doing right now?

She was bathing with her newly accepted male disciple!

To be completely honest with men, the most disgusting thing in the world!

The Third Elder grew angrier the more she thought about it. As if the wine in the jade gourd wasn't enough to ease her sorrow, she picked up the half-fallen wine jar and gulped down several mouthfuls. Once the wine was gone, she casually tossed it aside, making a loud "clang" as the jar shattered. Her green dress was soaked with the wine, clinging tightly to her body and highlighting her alluring curves.

"You Su! You deserve to die!"

Even she, a woman herself, had never bathed with the Lotus Sword Venerable!

The Third Elder clenched her teeth. The mimosa she had placed outside You Su's door hadn't shown any signs of life, meaning You Su hadn't returned to his room yet. Where could he be?

It could only be the Lotus Birth Pool!

"No! We can't let them soak any longer! More than a day has passed; they should have recovered by now! Do they think they're taking a romantic bath together?"

She recalled the reluctant farewell and lingering affection between the master and disciple during their last conversation, coupled with the Lotus Sword Venerable's selfless devotion to You Su, which sparked endless speculation about the special relationship between the two...

Her expression suddenly hardened, and she could no longer restrain herself. She stood up nimbly, and with a gentle stroke of her jade-like hand, a verdant banana leaf floated into the air.

The Third Elder supported her plump, round buttocks and sat down on her. A flash of green light appeared beneath the divine tree, and in an instant, she and the leaves vanished without a trace.

He Shutong's cold face flushed slightly as her left hand gently caressed You Su's body, forcing the yang energy that had spread throughout his body back to his lower abdomen so that it could be expelled together.

As for her right hand, she practiced Swordsmanship with a slightly clumsy movements, the two Mystic Qi merging and complementing each other on the hilt of the sword.

Both the Lotus Birth Sword and the Duck Sword are single-handed swords, so she should be most familiar with Swordsmanship. However, the "Swordsmanship" she is using now is completely different from before. She has only learned the theory and is practicing it for the first time.

If you look closely, you can see that this set of sword moves is very special. The up and down, the turn and the spin seem to follow a unique pattern. The force of gripping the hilt also varies. After several repetitions, you need to fully grasp and rub the end of the hilt, and gently twist and turn it.

If Guan Chujun or Ji Lingruo were here, they would immediately recognize that this is a very special type of the Human Scroll Dual Cultivation Technique.

Under the attack of this sword technique, You Su's condition visibly improved.

In a flash of lightning, He Shutong's face paled instantly.

Lotus Peak is shrouded in Trouble Wind, so strong that even Void Glimpse Venerable cannot fly there. Yet, unexpectedly, in the dead of night, the Third Elder has suddenly visited Lotus Peak! He is hurrying towards this celestial pool!

He Shutong had no idea of this turn of events, and was immediately filled with anxiety and at a loss.

Having been devoid of emotion and desire for nearly two hundred years, this was the first time she had felt such a bittersweet sense of shame.

She could almost hear the sound of the Third Elder's footsteps echoing through the forest, but You Su was already on the verge of success and couldn't afford to fail at the last moment.

"Why is it taking so long...?"

He Shutong blushed deeply and turned her head to murmur softly.

Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, she abandoned the one-handed sword she was becoming increasingly familiar with and switched to the more powerful two-handed sword!

Hurry, hurry!

Compared to a first wife who went to "catch her lover in the act," the Third Elder felt more like a heartbroken woman who had given up her beloved and was filled with regret.

Once this thought crossed her mind, she walked faster and faster.

Previously, these enigmatic fogs had no effect on her at all, but this time, in the dead of night, they grew even thicker, as if trying to slow her progress.

There's definitely something fishy going on between this master and apprentice!

With a "whoosh," the Third Elder unhesitatingly parted the last layer of trees obscuring the Lotus Birth Pool, and the long-awaited lotus pond finally came into view—

White stones, a clear pool, a young man covered in black gauze lies on the bank, his face rosy; a misty haze rises from the pool, while Goddess appears and disappears at the other end of the lotus pond.

The Third Elder breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that it was a false alarm.

"Third Elder, is your visit so late at night urgent?"

The cold, clear voice of the Lotus Sword Venerable drifted over.

The Third Elder, her hopes dashed, stomped her feet awkwardly. She had come in a hurry and hadn't really thought of what excuse to use.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just... just came to check on You Su's recovery. Soaking in water for too long isn't good for a young person's health."

"The Third Elder seems to care a lot about You Su."

"I care about him?!" The Third Elder's beautiful eyes widened, then she regained her composure and chuckled, "He has exceptional talent and will surely be the foundation of the sect in the future. As the Grand Elder of the Xuanxiao Sect, it is only natural for me to pay attention to him."

"Third Elder, you are very kind. He has recovered completely, but he is still unconscious. Please take him back for me."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise it would have been too late once he woke up."

The Third Elder broke off a tree branch and placed it on You Su's body. You Su actually attached himself to the branch and slowly floated into the air. However, the black robe covering his body fell to the ground, revealing his naked body.

The Third Elder glanced at it unintentionally, then quickly closed his eyes, inwardly cursing that men's "things" were all this big? Truly disgusting.

She focused her Divine Sense on You Su, as if sensing something, and her delicate brows furrowed instantly. She then shifted her Divine Sense to He Shutong behind the mist, and exclaimed in surprise:

"You're still only at the Void Glimpse Realm?!"

"Does the Third Elder want me to fall from my cultivation level?"

"How could that be? You not only healed his injuries, but also replenished his immortal seed. Given your previous condition, I thought you would definitely not be able to withstand it and would fall in cultivation level."

"The Third Elder is underestimating the foundation of the Lotus Sword."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:

"No matter how strong your foundation is, you shouldn't sacrifice like this for him. You're wasting the cultivation you've worked so hard to achieve! You haven't fallen this time, so don't be complacent. There can't be a next time. Your master hates spoiling his disciples the most. You need to know that he's still here today without your immortal seed. He has his own destiny."

He Shutong remained silent for a moment before saying, "Lian Jian has learned a lot."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You get some rest. I'm still working on repairing your spirit platform."

The Third Elder nodded his instructions, then used a tree branch to support You Su as they walked back to the Immortal Forest.

As she passed by the hillside filled with the rich fragrance of summer flowers, the contrast with the strong scents made her clearly detect a faint fishy smell in the air, and the source of this fishy smell was You Su.

She didn't think much of it, assuming that the disgusting smell was the impurities that You Su was forced out of her body by the purification of the lotus pond.

The thought that these impurities also remained in the pool where Lotus Sword Venerable bathed sent a chill down the Third Elder.

"Go change my water!"

Unable to contain her Resentment Qi, she lashed You Su's buttocks with a wooden stick to vent her anger.

"Wait, change the water...?"

Fortunately, the mist and the darkness of night concealed He Shutong's blushing face.

She raised her hands from the water, still slightly sticky. In desperation, she wrapped the objects in her hands and hid them underwater to avoid detection, but most of them dissolved into the pool water.

However, more than the strange feeling in her heart, she was surprised.

Only after the Third Elder reminded her did she realize that despite losing the Mystic Qi of two Immortal Seeds, she had not actually fallen in cultivation level.

She had clearly prepared herself for a setback from the very beginning...

She knew that this wasn't because she had a strong foundation; You Su had his own destiny, and so did she...
