"This..."
Upon hearing this, Lian Ruyue and her daughter immediately pondered the matter.
After a moment, the two looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
That seems to be true.
Previously, they only thought that their Holy Maiden Palace produced one or two fewer immortals than the Heavenly Net Hall.
Looking at it now, it does indeed feel like there's a generational gap.
Could it really be due to the cultivation techniques practiced in their Holy Maiden Palace?
If this person is a true immortal, it's not impossible that after close contact with him, one could perceive the source of all this.
"Please enlighten me, Immortal!"
Despite her aching back, Lian Ruyue bowed to Su Chen once more.
To be honest, she was already nine-tenths convinced.
After all, the two of them have not only lost their freedom, but their lives are also in the hands of this man. They have no ties to him, and they have nothing on them that he would covet.
He had absolutely no reason to deceive the mother and daughter.
Furthermore, since he could have used force to suppress the attack, why resort to such a roundabout and deceptive method to achieve his goal?
"Not too stupid!" Su Chen snorted, pointed at Lianxi, and said, "You, come and give this old ancestor a shoulder massage!"
"Yes, Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Lianxi immediately ran up behind Su Chen, placed her delicate hands on Su Chen's shoulders, and began to massage them.
"The technique is clumsy."
These words immediately turned Lianxi's face pale.
Their only purpose now is to serve this person; if they can't even figure out how to serve others, then they've lost all their value.
Before she could kneel down in terror and beg for mercy, Su Chen's voice continued, "However, considering this is your first time, learn well after this, and hopefully you can satisfy this old ancestor next time!"
These two people held high positions in the Holy Maiden Palace and had never done such servant work before.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Lianxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Su Chen looked at Lian Ruyue and continued, " The Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture you are currently cultivating is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, what you have obtained is only a fragment."
However, this fragment lacks the other part of the balance, and thus the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul will be born within the body. You people of the Holy Maiden Palace have surely already experienced the power of the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul."
Lian Ruyue asked, "Does the Immortal have a way to break this?"
Previously, they only thought this was a side effect of practicing the Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture, and that it was unavoidable.
Now that they know the real reason is the tattered scroll, they naturally want to find a solution.
Nobody wants to have a ticking time bomb inside them at any moment, right?
Especially when they are about to break through, such a blow could completely cripple them.
"The solution?" Upon hearing this, Su Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, a subtle arc appearing on his face. "Even if I didn't tell you, you should have already guessed it! Hehe!"
As expected, Lian Ruyue's expression was quite interesting after hearing this.
As Su Chen said, in the past, the way their Holy Maiden Palace dealt with the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul within their bodies was through self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
However, considering the rules of their Holy Maiden Palace, their people can never have intercourse with men, so they can only delay or temporarily suppress the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul within their bodies.
But in the end, once they can no longer suppress it, the backlash caused by the eruption of the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul will definitely increase exponentially.
Faced with that situation, they had no choice but to wait for their demise.
At this moment, having learned from last night's experience that this was a way to quickly eliminate the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul within her body, she realized that it was ultimately only a temporary solution.
As long as they continue to cultivate the Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture, the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul will be continuously generated.
Does this mean they'll have to depend on men to survive from now on?
Lian Ruyue pursed her lips and nodded. "Immortal, you know, that's not what I meant!"
Since this is an incomplete scroll, wouldn't completing it completely eliminate the Supreme Mysterious Yin Soul?
Although the Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture has many drawbacks, it must be said that it also has many benefits.
At least the Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace is at least seven or eight thousand years old, but because she cultivated the Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture, her physical functions are not much different from those of a woman in her thirties.
Su Chen deeply understood this point.
Su Chen smiled and said, "Of course, another way is to find the real, complete Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture, but since you don't even know who the true owner of this inheritance is, this method is obviously not feasible."
After saying that, Lian Ruyue and the other woman's eyes visibly dimmed, but they did not reach the point of despair.
At least for now, there is one most direct solution.
However, Su Chen's next words made their eyes light up again.
"There is one last way, which is for this old ancestor to improve this Supreme Mysterious Yin Scripture for you. The improved technique will not only eliminate all the negative effects, but will also make your cultivation path twice as effective with half the effort."
"Really... really? Immortal?"
As soon as they finished speaking, their eyes lit up with ecstatic joy. "Please, Immortal, bestow your favor!"
What are you thinking about?
Su Chen smiled faintly and directly refused the two, "This is indeed very simple for me, but you are not yet qualified to make me take action."
"Let's see how you two behave afterwards!"
These words made the refusal quite explicit.
Fortunately, there was still a chance. Lian Ruyue and her companion still held a glimmer of hope, so she took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Immortal, we will certainly do our duty from now on!"
"Alright, considering your good performance yesterday, I'll allow you two to enter the cultivation area." As he spoke, Su Chen's voice grew colder. "But you two are not qualified to enter those two secret realms yet, understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Although Su Chen slapped the two of them in the face this time, he also gave them a sweet treat.
It's just a cultivation resource. As long as the Source of All Spirits remains in the central hub of the Emperor Palace, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within will never cease.
It's just a matter of two more people cultivating; it's nothing at all.
Go!
"Yes!"
At Su Chen's signal, the two women slowly retreated and finally exited the small space.
For Lian Ruyue and her companion, this was also an incredibly pleasant surprise.
Cultivating here would allow them to increase their speed by an unknown amount; perhaps in a few decades, she too would be able to break through to the pseudo- Immortal Realm realm.
By then, even without the help of the Su Imperial Clan, she will be able to kill Mystic Bone High Person on her own!
"Mother! What did you mean when you said I hadn't lived in vain?!"
After emerging from the small space, Lianxi suddenly remembered the first words her mother said when she came out of the small bamboo pavilion.
"Cough cough!"
Upon hearing this, a blush flashed across Lian Ruyue's face, and she replied, "It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. You'll understand in the future!"
Is this something that can be said aloud?
Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Or with his own daughter?
He said he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
I've lived in vain because I didn't enjoy life for the past thousands of years; therefore, my life was wasted.
Her life wasn't wasted; it was because yesterday allowed her to experience the wonders of life.
Especially that uniquely endowed thing, it was simply a dragon among things, it even seemed to carry a bit of electricity, and after one night my whole body was almost limp as mud.
Indeed, I haven't lived in vain!
