Someone Had Their Eye on Him?

"Ru Hua" actually possessed a hidden-attribute Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root.

This truly stunned Lu Chen.

One had to know that someone with a Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root was comparable to someone with a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root.

In some respects, it was even more formidable than a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root.

Lu Chen did not care anymore and directly pulled "Ru Hua" into the training room.

Martial Cultivation was impossible.

Literary Cultivation was barely workable.

Besides, once the lights were out, whether she was "Ru Hua" or a celestial beauty, it was all the same.

Under Lu Chen's guidance, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, their palms pressed together.

"Senior, weren't we going to engage in Dual Cultivation?"

Qin Feiyan asked in confusion.

"Aren't we engaging in Dual Cultivation right now?"

Lu Chen said irritably.

With that face of yours, how the hell am I supposed to get my hands on you? Literary Cultivation is the only option.

"So there's Dual Cultivation that doesn't involve that?"

Qin Feiyan was greatly surprised.

"Shut up!"

Lu Chen said gloomily.

People in this world had far too great a misunderstanding about Dual Cultivation.

He circulated the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture.

Qin Feiyan only felt a suction force arise from the other party's right palm, drawing away her vital essence.

"How... how is this possible..."

She could hardly believe it. Her vital essence was incomparably stable, yet this man could actually siphon it away?

Could this fellow be some evil cultivator who devoured female cultivators' vital essence under the guise of Dual Cultivation?

But that female cultivator named Su Qingqing had been at the Early Foundation Establishment stage when she went upstairs, and when she came downstairs, she had broken through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage!

He had witnessed that with his own eyes. There was no faking it.

Though shocked, she still gritted her teeth and allowed Lu Chen to proceed.

Lu Chen, meanwhile, was also startled.

Because he discovered that this woman was not cultivating the Joyful Union Sect's cultivation method at all.

In other words, this "Ru Hua's" identity was fake.

Even her name was likely fake.

Had someone set their sights on him?

This woman's vital essence was vast and pure. Lu Chen felt the meridians in his body being forcibly stretched open and broadened by her vital essence.

The instant her vital essence entered the Yin-Yang Cauldron, the Yin-Yang Cauldron actually began to move.

Yin and Yang revolved, and creation was born.

Streams of Yin-Yang Essence appeared within the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

After Qin Feiyan's vital essence was tempered by the Yin-Yang Cauldron, it became even purer, then surged from Lu Chen's left hand back into her body.

It entered through the right and left through the left.

One Greater Celestial Circuit was complete.

"Ten streams. Completing one Greater Celestial Circuit actually produced ten streams of Yin-Yang Essence within the Yin-Yang Cauldron."

Lu Chen was dumbstruck.

This had never happened before.

When he had engaged in Dual Cultivation with female cultivators before, completing one Greater Celestial Circuit had only earned him one stream of Yin-Yang Essence.

But now, through Literary Cultivation with this "Ru Hua," completing one Greater Celestial Circuit had actually earned him ten streams of Yin-Yang Essence.

What was going on?

Could it be because she possessed a Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root?

That seemed to be the only possibility.

Wait, this woman was not in the Qi Refining Realm. She was in the Golden Core Realm.

The miraculous thing about the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture was that Lu Chen could sense the path of the other party's vital essence as it circulated through her body, while she could not sense the path of his vital essence through his body.

Once he knew how her vital essence circulated, it was equivalent to grasping her cultivation technique.

So long as someone engaged in Dual Cultivation with him, there would be no secrets in her body from Lu Chen.

Moreover, he sensed that inside her dantian, a Golden Core shone like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire dantian. The pure vital essence it released nourished her Spiritual Root, flesh, blood, sinews, and bones.

To his shock, he discovered a blurry figure within her Golden Core.

This woman's cultivation was not merely at the Golden Core Realm.

She was at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm.

A Nascent Soul phantom had already been conceived within her Golden Core.

With one more step, she could shatter her core and transform it into a Nascent Soul, stepping into the true Nascent Soul Realm in a single stride.

Just what was this woman's background?

Lu Chen was very curious.

Who exactly was this woman?

She was not old, yet she had already cultivated to the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm.

Her background had to be astonishingly immense.

To hell with all that. Since she was so powerful, he would take this opportunity to charge toward the Peak Copper Skin Realm.

With that thought, Lu Chen immediately calmed his mind and focused his spirit, circulating the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture with all his concentration and drawing upon her cultivation to temper his flesh, sinews, and bones.

At this moment, Qin Feiyan was likewise shocked beyond measure.

She could clearly sense that after her vital essence was drawn away through his right hand, when it returned to her body through his left hand, it had become even purer and more condensed.

So that was it!

She finally understood why Su Qingqing had clearly been at the Early Foundation Establishment stage when she went upstairs, yet had broken through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage by the time she came downstairs after engaging in Dual Cultivation with Lu Chen.

She could scarcely believe it.

This man's Dual Cultivation technique was actually so miraculous that it could help female cultivators who engaged in Dual Cultivation with him raise their cultivation.

In her eyes, Lu Chen instantly became a humanoid Nascent Soul Pill.

If she captured this man and brought him back to serve as her Furnace Tripod, engaging in Dual Cultivation day and night, then even without taking a Nascent Soul Pill, she could swiftly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, this man was unfathomable. She should first investigate his background before deciding anything.

Having made up her mind, Qin Feiyan also began cultivating in earnest.

Lu Chen circulated the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture and completed seven times seven, forty-nine Greater Celestial Circuits.

He gained 490 streams of Yin-Yang Essence.

At this point, he felt that he was about to break through to the Peak Copper Skin Realm.

At that very moment, Qin Feiyan also felt that her cultivation realm was about to break through.

Within the Golden Core in her dantian, that figure became incomparably clear.

"Crack!"

A cracking sound rang out from the Golden Core, and a fissure actually appeared on its surface.

"Crack!"

Another one.

A powerful force erupted from within the Golden Core.

"What..."

Sensing the changes in her body, Lu Chen could not help but be greatly alarmed.

She was actually about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Qin Feiyan was overjoyed.

She had thought it would take at least another year or two before she could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Who could have imagined that the Golden Core in her dantian would develop cracks at this moment?

This was the sign of shattering the Golden Core and transforming it into a Nascent Soul!

"Heh heh, you want to shatter your Golden Core and transform it into a Nascent Soul?"

How could Lu Chen let this woman have her way?

So she had used a fake identity to fool him, huh?

He decisively stopped.

"..."

Qin Feiyan was so frustrated that she nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

She was just about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he stopped at this critical juncture.

"I..."

Qin Feiyan had the urge to strangle Lu Chen to death.

"Don't stop, keep going..."

Qin Feiyan urged anxiously.

"Enough. We'll stop here for today!"

Lu Chen said as he withdrew his palms and stood up.

"No, don't... keep going... If you want that kind of Dual Cultivation, it's not impossible..."

Qin Feiyan nearly went mad as she hurriedly said.

"What do you mean, that kind of Dual Cultivation? I'm a decent man!"

Lu Chen said calmly.

Fuck, maybe you can, but you're "Ru Hua"! I can't!

"Senior, please continue!"

Qin Feiyan covered half her face with her sleeve and raised her head shyly to look at Lu Chen.

"Fuck your mother!"

Lu Chen reflexively slammed a fist into Qin Feiyan's face.

"Why did you hit me?"

Qin Feiyan was dumbfounded.

"I really couldn't hold it in... No, I was knocking some sense into you, you delinquent girl..."

"Bang!"

The next moment, Lu Chen punched Qin Feiyan in the face again, directly giving her panda eyes.

"No, why did you hit me again..."

Qin Feiyan covered her eye and stared at Lu Chen in disbelief.

For the first punch, she could say she had been unprepared. But for the second, even though she was prepared, she still could not dodge it.

He had directly beaten her into panda eyes.

"Are you awake now? Your mind is full of things children shouldn't see... Get the hell out..."

As Lu Chen spoke, he grabbed Qin Feiyan and pushed her outside.

She had a face that begged for a beating, yet she still wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation with him?

"No... How about cultivating for another hour... Half an hour would do too..."

Qin Feiyan was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. How could she be willing to leave?

But Lu Chen was immensely strong. He shoved her straight out of the training room, then pushed her all the way to the entrance.

He flung open the front door and directly pushed Qin Feiyan outside.

"Bang!"

Lu Chen slammed the door shut.

"Senior... keep going... I can agree to any condition... Senior..."

Qin Feiyan shouted outside.

"Damn it, you still dream of Martial Cultivation with me? Coveting my good looks? Keep dreaming!"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then opened the door again.

"Senior, are you willing to continue Dual Cultivation with me?"

Qin Feiyan was overjoyed.

"Here are your Foundation Establishment Pills. Take care, I won't see you out!"

As Lu Chen spoke, he directly tossed a small jade bottle to Qin Feiyan.

"Bang!"

He shut the door again.

"..."

Qin Feiyan looked at the small jade bottle in her hand and nearly could not resist kicking the door open and forcing herself upon him like a tyrant.

But she restrained herself.

This man's cultivation technique was so miraculous.

He must have an enormous background.

She should first get to the bottom of his origins.

But this bastard actually dared to hit her?

From childhood until now, no one had ever dared to hit her.

I'd like to see just who you really are.

"Please leave!"

Only then did Zhao Hong, who had been standing there dumbfounded, come back to his senses.

Master's tastes were way too heavy. He could even stomach someone like that? Damn impressive!

"Hmph, this servant will come again tomorrow..."

Qin Feiyan said reluctantly before turning to leave.

This time, he had truly struck it rich.

Reforging a Foundation Establishment Pill consumed 30 strands of Yin-Yang Essence.

After deducting the cost, he had made a net profit of 460 strands of Yin-Yang Essence.

After seeing Ru Hua off, he took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron and began reforging the discarded Foundation Establishment Pills.

When Zhao Hong brought Qin Feiyan down to the main hall, the entire hall immediately exploded into an uproar.

"No way, that senior could even bring himself to touch goods like that?"

"This old lady had been worried that her looks weren't good enough and that the senior would dislike her. But after seeing her, this old lady is practically a celestial beauty!"

"That senior expert's tastes are truly far too heavy..."

"Your horizons are too narrow. To an exalted senior, stunning beauties are nothing more than powdered skeletons. What they value is the inside, not appearance."

The crowd discussed it heatedly.

Some female cultivators of average appearance immediately felt that they had a chance again.

"He could even stomach someone like that. If I dressed as a woman, I'd be ten times prettier than her. Wait, if I dressed as a woman, would I have a chance to engage in Dual Cultivation with that senior expert...?"

Some handsome young men began entertaining crooked thoughts.

Meanwhile, inside the Number One Heaven Room.

Lu Chen had consumed 150 strands of Yin-Yang Essence to reforge five Foundation Establishment Pills.

Added to the previous 206 strands of Yin-Yang Essence,

he still had 546 strands of Yin-Yang Essence remaining.

The Foundation Establishment Pills he had just reforged were all fifth- and sixth-grade. Each one was worth at least several hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, perhaps even more than a thousand.

He packed away those Foundation Establishment Pills, then summoned Zhao Hong inside.

"I'm going into seclusion for a few days. There are five Foundation Establishment Pills here. If Inner Sect Disciples of the Joyful Union Sect come seeking pills, sell them at ten times the market price."

Lu Chen handed the five Foundation Establishment Pills to Zhao Hong.

"Master... Ten times? This..."

Zhao Hong was stunned.

At ten times the market price, a single Foundation Establishment Pill would cost several thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

That was truly far too expensive.

Who could afford them?

"A rare commodity is available only to those who bid high!"

Lu Chen knew perfectly well that once he released these five Foundation Establishment Pills, someone would definitely buy them.

Because the Joyful Union Sect's Sect Grand Tournament was only two days away.

After saying that, Lu Chen rose and entered the bedroom. He activated the teleportation platform and returned directly to the Waste Pill Repository.

Inside the Joyful Union Sect's secret realm.

"Sect Master Martial Niece, how many disciples above the Foundation Establishment Realm are there in the sect now?"

Jiang Yingyue looked gravely at Sect Master Ye Chenyu.

"There are a total of three hundred and sixty-two Inner Sect Disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

Ye Chenyu said in a deep voice.

"Among all those outer disciples, not a single one has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

Jiang Yingyue said incredulously.

"Outer disciples cannot obtain the sect's true teachings. Those who can cultivate to the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining are already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns..."

Ye Chenyu said helplessly.

"What should we do? We're still three people short of activating that killing formation..."

Jiang Yingyue frowned.

"There are quite a few Inner Sect Disciples at the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining. As long as we have Foundation Establishment Pills..."

Ye Chenyu pondered aloud.

"Where would the sect find any Foundation Establishment Pills now? Even if we started refining them, it would be too late..."

Jiang Yingyue's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Then we'll buy them..."

Ye Chenyu gritted her teeth. Their Joyful Union Sect was not so poor that they could not even afford Foundation Establishment Pills.
