Joyful Union Sect's Inner Sect Disciples could be divided into ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, True Inheritance Disciples, and Personal Disciples.
Su Qingqing was merely an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, the lowest rank among Joyful Union Sect's Inner Sect Disciples.
She wanted to use the once-in-ten-years Sect Grand Tournament of the Joyful Union Sect to climb another step and become a True Inheritance Disciple.
Therefore, she had not hesitated to accept the conditions set by Lu Chen, this mysterious master of alchemy, in order to obtain a Realm-Breaking Pill and raise her cultivation.
Su Qingqing entered the room uneasily.
The density of spiritual energy in the room left her greatly astonished.
She had long heard how excellent the Heaven-grade rooms in the House of Ten Thousand Beauties were. They were cultivation grounds countless cultivators dreamed of.
If one could stay there long-term and cultivate within it, one would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, Lu Chen had put on his bronze mask again.
As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, Su Qingqing naturally knew what she had to do.
She began to loosen her clothes.
"Wait!"
Lu Chen directly stopped Su Qingqing.
"Senior, although I, Su Qingqing, am a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, I am still a virgin..."
Su Qingqing said shyly.
"Come into the training room with me!"
Lu Chen rose as he spoke and headed toward the training room.
Heaven-grade Room Number One had a training room specially arranged for cultivators.
The training room was also one of the formation nodes of the Gathering Spirit Formation.
All the natural spiritual energy gathered by the Gathering Spirit Formation was concentrated in the training room.
Su Qingqing followed Lu Chen into the training room uneasily.
"With me, Dual Cultivation comes in two forms: Literary Cultivation and Martial Cultivation. Today, I will practice Literary Cultivation with you."
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, then gestured for Su Qingqing to sit cross-legged opposite him.
Su Qingqing was utterly bewildered. Literary Cultivation? Martial Cultivation? This was the first time she had ever heard of such things.
What was Literary Cultivation, and what was Martial Cultivation? She was curious.
She did as Lu Chen instructed.
Lu Chen extended his hands and pressed them against Su Qingqing's. Then he directly circulated the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, drawing his own vital essence and hers into a Greater Celestial Circuit between them.
With every circuit, a strand of Yin-Yang Essence was produced within the Yin-Yang Cauldron in his dantian.
Su Qingqing was shocked beyond measure.
She could feel that after her vital essence completed one Greater Celestial Circuit, it had strengthened considerably.
The other party's Dual Cultivation technique was simply too miraculous.
In truth, Lu Chen had only just learned that when he used the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture for Dual Cultivation, cycling vital essence through a Greater Celestial Circuit and tempering it through the Yin-Yang Cauldron not only produced Yin-Yang Essence, but also strengthened both parties' vital essence.
Two hours later, Lu Chen's vital essence surged mightily through his entire body.
Mist also steamed from Su Qingqing's body.
After completing eighty-one Greater Celestial Circuits, Su Qingqing's body trembled. She had actually broken through from the Early Foundation Establishment to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Realm.
Her entire bearing changed. An aura of destruction seeped from her body, while tiny visible arcs of electricity crawled over her skin.
Su Qingqing possessed a mid-grade Thunder Spiritual Root.
At that moment, the power of lightning within her burst through her body, and electric light flickered from all seven of her orifices.
Su Qingqing was overjoyed.
Yet Lu Chen's cultivation had not broken through.
He remained at Qi Refining, Fifth Level.
That was because, during Dual Cultivation, he had used all his vital essence to temper his body.
However, his Body Cultivation realm had not advanced either.
It was not easy for him to break through from Copper Skin Realm, Great Accomplishment to the Peak Copper Skin Realm.
"All right. Here is your Realm-Breaking Pill. You may leave now!"
After Su Qingqing stabilized her cultivation, Lu Chen took out a small jade bottle and casually handed it to her.
"Thank you, Senior. This junior will never forget your immense kindness and great virtue."
Su Qingqing said gratefully.
She had struck it rich.
So this was Literary Cultivation in Dual Cultivation.
Not only had her cultivation increased tremendously, she had also received a Realm-Breaking Pill.
Even if she told others about such Dual Cultivation, they probably would not believe her.
Su Qingqing turned to leave.
"Wait. Do you know a youngster named Lu Chen in the Joyful Union Sect?"
Lu Chen suddenly called out to stop Su Qingqing.
"What?"
Su Qingqing was startled.
"If you do not know him, forget it."
Lu Chen said indifferently.
"I know him, I know him..."
Su Qingqing hurriedly said.
"He is a friend of mine despite our age difference. Help me look after him. Just do not let anyone bully him."
Lu Chen said.
"Yes, this junior obeys!"
Although Su Qingqing found it strange that Lu Chen, no more than the lowliest menial disciple in the sect, had become friends across generations with such an eminent senior, she did not dare ask.
Although Lu Chen had violated sect rules, it was not a particularly serious matter.
"Very good. You may leave!"
Lu Chen waved his hand.
Was this him saving himself?
This way, Su Qingqing would not cause him trouble.
He could also continue lying low in the Waste Pill Repository.
The reason Lu Chen did not practice "Martial" Cultivation with Su Qingqing was that Su Qingqing was not qualified to be his woman yet.
He was not some breeding stallion.
If he met a beautiful girl he liked and did not practice Martial Cultivation with her, then he would truly be worse than a beast.
But he was not the kind to fall for every woman he saw.
I'm handsome and dashing, a jade tree standing in the wind—a truly great-looking man.
Why should I let these women have it so easy?
"This junior takes her leave!"
Su Qingqing exited the room.
Zhao Hong outside immediately led Su Qingqing downstairs.
"Ah, Senior Sister Su Qingqing was ruined by that old fellow."
"What could she do? He is a master of alchemy, after all."
"If I had that kind of ability, I'd be a groom every day."
The countless male cultivators in the hall watched Zhao Hong bring Su Qingqing downstairs, their hearts filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They thought Su Qingqing had already done that with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen did not know that he had become the object of countless male cultivators' envy.
He sensed the Yin-Yang Essence within the Yin-Yang Cauldron.
He and Su Qingqing had cultivated through eighty-one Greater Celestial Circuits and gained eighty-one strands of Yin-Yang Essence.
Yet reconstructing a Realm-Breaking Pill only consumed fifteen strands of Yin-Yang Essence.
In other words, he had made a net profit of sixty-six strands of Yin-Yang Essence.
Ten times would make six hundred and sixty. A hundred times would make six thousand six hundred. At this rate, it would not be long before I could reconstruct that Failed Spirit Transformation Pill.
He could cultivate and gain Yin-Yang Essence at the same time.
Awesome!
Hmm, he had previously had one hundred and twenty-five strands of Yin-Yang Essence remaining.
Now he had two hundred and six strands of Yin-Yang Essence.
"Continue!"
Lu Chen directly summoned Zhao Hong and had him bring up a Joyful Union Sect senior sister named Qin Feiyan, an Inner Sect Disciple who had come seeking a Realm-Breaking Pill.
This woman had a slender figure and fair skin.
Her phoenix eyes were particularly spirited and striking.
However, a gauze veil covered her face, concealing her appearance. Still, she ought to have been a peerless beauty.
The instant Zhao Hong withdrew and closed the door,
Lu Chen ordered the woman to remove her veil.
The moment she did, his hand trembled, and the teacup in it fell straight onto the carpet.
"Holy shit..."
Lu Chen was instantly dumbfounded.
Beneath the veil was actually "Ru Hua."
"This servant is of humble beauty and still a virgin. I hope Senior will cherish me and be gentle."
Qin Feiyan said as she moved to loosen her clothes.
"Stop!"
Lu Chen hurriedly stopped her.
"Big bro—no, big sis, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Chen could barely speak properly.
What kind of joke is this? This is "Ru Hua"! Who could possibly bring themselves to do it?
"You see what I look like. What else do you think I could be doing? Of course, I want to join Senior in climbing Mount Wu together!"
Qin Feiyan said shyly.
You're "Ru Hua," and you still want to climb Mount Wu with me?
Dream on!
"Why... why don't we practice Literary Cultivation instead?"
Lu Chen nearly threw up last night's meal.
For Yin-Yang Essence, he had to grit his teeth and go through with it.
"Ah, no. Even for Literary Cultivation, I think I'd have to cover my eyes."
Lu Chen glanced at "Ru Hua" and felt that he still could not accept it.
Such a supreme figure, such supreme skin—how had she ended up with such a "supreme" face?
"Cover your eyes? I never expected Senior to play so extravagantly. I like it!"
Qin Feiyan became even more bashful.
I don't like it!
Can't I switch to someone else?
"If Fellow Daoist is having difficulties, perhaps we can make another appointment?"
Lu Chen truly could not accept this.
"Senior..."
Qin Feiyan grew anxious and grabbed Lu Chen's hand.
The reason she had come was to probe the true capabilities of Lu Chen, this mysterious master of alchemy. How could she leave just like that?
The next moment, Lu Chen was dumbfounded again.
He had been stunned by a line of words that appeared in his mind: Hidden attribute, Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root.
No way. The bearing of a Great Emperor!
A legendary daughter of fortune?
A hidden Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root!
This was simply too heaven-defying.
It was an existence capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root.
Moreover, a Chaos Spiritual Root could Devouring and refine all natural spiritual energy for its own use, and even had a chance to cultivate into a Chaos Supreme Immortal Body.
"Dual Cultivation. We must practice Dual Cultivation..."
Lu Chen directly dragged Qin Feiyan into the training room.
Damn it, once the lights are out, beautiful women and ugly women are all the same.
Lu Chen desperately tried to convince himself.
