Such a Way to Repay Me

A month later.

That thin veil of spiritual light still shrouded the Stone Cave.

Cheng Buzheng looked at Murong Wanwan beside him, her eyelashes twitching slightly, her eyes closed, and felt somewhat speechless.

Sigh!

If you're going to pretend to be asleep, at least make it convincing!

Who falls asleep with her little face flushed red?

And who goes straight to sleep as soon as dual cultivation ends?

This time, he'd lost big!

His yang essence was gone. He'd originally planned to wait until he reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage, then find an immortal woman to practice dual cultivation with!

For example, Jiang Siling's master, True Lord Mingxiang, would have been a fine choice.

High cultivation, beautiful, too!

If he practiced dual cultivation with her, not only would it increase his chances of breaking through, but he'd also gain a powerful backer.

Now it was too late. It was all gone.

Though this dual cultivation had raised his cultivation by a substantial amount—equivalent to a hundred and fifty years of arduous cultivation—it still hadn't met his expectations. He hadn't even reached the peak of the early Golden Core Stage.

He would need to consume around forty more Godly Extreme Pills and cultivate painstakingly for nearly twenty years to reach the peak of the early Golden Core Stage.

Just thinking about it made him feel cheated!

But what was with the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique Murong Wanwan had passed on to him?

Thinking back afterward, he realized that this secret technique was remarkably similar to the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Reversal Technique he had once obtained!

Most of the scripture was the same, with only a few crucial parts seemingly altered.

However, its effects were gentler than those of the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Reversal Technique. It wasn't as overbearing as before.
