Conflict Erupts Again, a Secret Shock

On the morning of the fourth day.

Dongfang Yueming stepped out of the side room and found the main hall empty, with only a faint fragrance remaining. Clearly, Hong Yao had temporarily left the Bamboo Garden due to sect affairs.

Without the witch's interference, he was able to finally find peace and quiet.

[System, add 1 point to "Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art - Chapter One".]

"Buzz."

[Current Panel: Cultivation Technique: Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art - Chapter 1 (1/10, Major Accomplishment)]

As the true energy flowed through his meridians, Dongfang Yueming could clearly feel that the golden, Acquired Spirit Root deep within his dantian was greedily absorbing the liquid Pure Yang True Qi, with faint golden runes flowing on its surface.

He knew in his heart that as long as the cultivation technique reached the "Perfection" state, this acquired pure yang root would be completely condensed, and its quality would be no less than any natural spiritual root.

Day 5.

The Hong Yao still hasn't returned.

With a calm and collected mind, Dongfang Yueming summoned the system once more.

[System, Point Allocation.]

[Cultivation Technique: Pure Yang Spirit-Nurturing Art - Chapter 1 (2/10, Major Accomplishment)]

This time, Point Allocation, a faint yet clear Lei Ming sound emanated from deep within his bones. It was a sign that his flesh and marrow were being further purified and impurities removed by the Pure Yang True Qi. Every inch of his skin faintly radiated a warm, jade-like luster under the sunlight.

Since Hong Yao had not returned, and today was the day to collect cultivation resources for the new week, Dongfang Yueming packed up and went down the mountain alone to the Newcomer Hall to collect the third week's "Spirit-Nurturing Powder".

He didn't know.

At this moment, Hong Yao was at the outer gate of the Ultimate Bliss Immortal Ancestor, dealing with a disgusting fellow.

"Hehe, Hong Yao, it's been so long! Your waistline has become even more voluptuous, it's making this brother so envious."

A young cultivator, clad in pale white bone armor and with a sinister face, was blatantly and greedily scanning Hong Yao's full breasts and long legs with an undisguised gaze.

This person was a true disciple of the neighboring demonic sect, the [White Bone Sect], with Foundation Establishment Stage. Hong Yao suppressed her disgust, her beautiful face still bearing her signature alluring smile. She gave a few perfunctory replies before finally managing to send him away with some difficulty.

"Damn toad." As soon as Hong Yao turned around, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She spat and walked back to her Red Leaf Bamboo Courtyard in an extremely foul mood.

However, as she approached the secluded mountain path leading to the Newcomer Hall, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly noticed a familiar figure ahead.

Dongfang Yueming was carrying the third packet of "Spirit-Nurturing Powder" he had just received, and was slowly walking up the mountain.

At that moment, several teenagers had already blocked Dongfang Yueming's path with ill intentions. Many newlyweds passing by stopped in their tracks, watching this scene with schadenfreude.

"Hey, pretty boy, you were pretty sensible the last two weeks."

Blocking their path was a tall, imposing young man who had just begun to cultivate his aura. He sneered and brandished his fist. "You probably don't want this third Spirit-Nurturing Powder, do you? If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently, or you'll force us to bleed on the instructor's doorstep!"

Hong Yao hid in the canopy of red-leaved trees not far away, concealing her aura, and decided to observe in secret.

She had intended to see if Dongfang Yueming would choose to swallow his anger, but when her Divine Sense habitually swept over Dongfang Yueming...

"Hiss--!"

Hong Yao's body trembled violently, her alluring eyes widened instantly, and she almost cried out in surprise!

[This... this surging yang energy like a tide...]
