Mystic Union Method and Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance

After Zhang Qingran Kang Dabao, she didn't rush to leave. Although she hadn't suffered as serious injuries as Kang and Jiang in the Mountain-Viewing Cave, she still needed some time to recuperate in order to avoid leaving too many irreversible hidden injuries.

Since this Sect Leader Kang Da was a man of his word, and Zhang Qingran had no other place to trust, she thought for a moment and decided to ask Kang Dabao to let her recover from her injuries before leaving.

Regarding this matter, Sect Leader Kang Da remained noncommittal. Compared to Moon Fern, this remaining Foundation Establishment True Cultivator of the Fenli Zhang Household was not worth Kang Dabao's attention.

Not to mention, whether the annihilation of the Fenli Zhang Household was as simple as this beautiful female cultivator claimed is still unknown.

After leaving Zhang Qingran's room, Sect Leader Kang Da returned to his own courtyard and spent the night meditating. Breaking the Yang Blood Heart-Locking Incantation Curse requires considerable effort and is not something that can be done casually.

The following morning, he gathered his men here for a small core meeting. Apart from the elders and Duan Anle, no one else attended.

Kang Dabao had sent a messenger talisman to give prior notice, so all the other disciples, except for Ye Zhengwen who was still in seclusion, including Yuan Jin and Pei Yi, had already arrived.

After all, the two of them are currently only making some preparations for the Foundation Establishment stage, and are not yet as close as Ye Zhengwen to the point of truly entering seclusion.

Jiang Qing looked much better, probably because his luck in the Ice-Drinking Chamber was much better than that of Sect Leader Kang Da.

Not only did he find a Fragrance-Smelled Disease-Breaking Pill in the room, which healed most of his injuries, but he also found a Second-Tier Supreme-Grade Mixed Gold Staff. However, he naturally didn't know how to use this Spirit Artifact, so he handed it over to the sect's treasury to exchange for Merit Points.

Kang Dabao would certainly not mistreat his junior brother. The matter of purchasing Higher Vehicle flying sword from Myriad Treasures Trading Company Jiang Qing has already been put on the agenda, and he will be going there soon.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Sect Leader, Uncle Black Shoes sent a message two days ago, asking you to go to the Jade Toad cave abode to find him in ten days." Jiang Qing spoke first, which made the atmosphere in the courtyard much more relaxed.

Furthermore, since the meeting was being held in the familiar courtyard of the sect leader, it was naturally less formal and more intimate than the meeting hall, making the atmosphere even better.

The people present had every reason to be happy. The trip to Mountain-Viewing Cave had resulted in the loss of more than one top-tier Foundation Establishment, demonstrating the perilous nature of the journey. Yet, the three members of the Chongming Sect had all returned unscathed, which was cause for celebration.

Moreover, just looking at the two beautiful and charming female cultivators who were brought back by their own sect leader, everyone would know that they had gained a lot this time.

"After all, even the sect leader had the time to bring back a furnace cauldron, so how could he possibly return empty-handed?!"

Kang Dabao took in everyone's expressions and felt quite gratified.

Although the family fortune he painstakingly built up wasn't much, at least the Chongming Sect maintained a peaceful and harmonious situation with brotherly affection and respect.

It's true that starting from scratch is tough, but at least you don't have to worry about dirty business and underhanded tricks like the captains of big ships, which would distract you from your cultivation. So it's not all bad.

"News came from the state government beforehand that after Lord Shan refined the Lifespan Pill given to him by Uncle Black Shoes, his complexion improved greatly, and he should be safe in the short term," Zhou Yixiu said, stroking his beard as he delivered another piece of good news.

This was indeed a great thing, and Kang Dabao's face also lit up with joy. If he had some free time later, he would definitely have to pay a visit to the Lord Shan.

After pondering for a moment, Sect Leader Kang Da turned to Duan Anle and asked, "Has the celestial seedling from the Shan Household been settled this year?"

The latter replied respectfully, "Shan Yong's status inner disciple has already been discussed and approved by all the senior uncles. I have also instructed Junior Sister Ye and Junior Brother Han to take good care of him in the Nurturing Scales Hall."

"Well, just keep a little attention on a regular basis. Being too lenient might not be a good thing for a child his age." Kang Dabao gave a brief instruction and then stopped asking questions.

Ultimately, cultivation is a personal matter. After Shan Sheng's death, judging from the undercurrents within and outside the Shan Household, he may not be able to provide Shan Yong with any significant assistance.

"Any more good news?" Kang Dabao, used to hearing good news, became interested.

"Master, the situation of the Yunwei Zheng Household doesn't seem to be good. Their False Core Ancestor last showed up three months ago." Duan Anle spoke with some worry.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Kang Da remained calm and simply said, "It's alright. The Sima Office hasn't made a move yet, which proves that the situation with the Yunwei Zheng Household isn't tense."

He set the matter aside for the time being and turned to Pei and Yuan Er, saying, "The most important thing for you two junior brothers is to Foundation Establishment, but this matter can be done slowly rather than hastily; prudence is the best policy."

Yuan Jin and Pei Yi naturally responded respectfully. They both knew that Chongming Sect had been making rapid progress in recent years, and the Foundation Establishment process was of paramount importance.

Both of them have now stopped all worldly affairs and are focusing on laying a solid foundation for their Foundation Establishment.

According to Pei Yi's own estimation, he should be able to attempt Foundation Establishment within about three years.

Yuan Jin's progress was actually faster than Pei Yi's, but the former knew that his "White Ape Scripture" had many drawbacks, so his attempt at Foundation Establishment might be later than Pei Yi's.

"Third, you shouldn't go to the Spirit Stone mine in Tanggu County for now. We're not short of Spirit Stone right now. After some time, we can ask an old Foundation Establishment to go and keep an eye on it. Once you've recovered from your injuries, go and consult with Uncle Black Shoes more often."

Jiang Qing naturally listened to Kang Dabao's teachings, and since he had no interest in guarding the Spirit Stone mine anyway, Kang Dabao's words were exactly what he wanted.

Haunting a bunch of scheming, despicable creatures is nowhere near as pleasant and carefree as discussing the Dao and cultivating with fellow disciples within the sect.

After inquiring about the various affairs of the sect from Zhou Yixiu and Duan Anle, Kang Dabao dismissed everyone except Zhou Yixiu.

"Junior Brother Zhou, could you please take a look at this?"

Zhou Yixiu took the small bag of spirit seeds and the notes, his eyes quickly filled with shock, and then his brows furrowed.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yixiu, having roughly finished reading the notes, finally closed them and sighed softly, "Sect Leader, my skills in Spirit Plant are shallow, and I have no absolute certainty about planting this Moon Fern Grass."

"Is that so?" Kang Dabao was slightly surprised. After all, the recipe for the Glazed Treasure Tree that Zhou Yixiu had researched was praised even by Chu Yanran, a Second Tier cultivator. Logically speaking, the difficulty of cultivating the Moon Fern Grass should be far less than that of the Glazed Treasure Tree.

Zhou Yixiu noticed the confusion of Sect Leader Kang Da and explained, "Cultivating this Moon Fern Grass is very different from cultivating the Glazed Treasure Tree. It requires the use of Second-Tier Life-Giving Method. Junior Brother's cultivation is not high enough, and he has been studying it for more than ten years without even getting a grasp of it."

Another point is that the Spirit Vein of our Little Ring Mountain are not high-grade; the best spiritual fields we have are only of the First-Tier Superior-Grade. For such Spirit Plant, this is considered inferior, and planting them is much less efficient.

Kang Dabao frowned upon hearing this. "I never imagined that the Moon Fern Grass would be so difficult to cultivate. It seems that the Fenli Zhang Household families are indeed well-off. In that case, we'll have to ask Madam Qi for help. We can also ask her to take a look at the Glazed Treasure Tree."

I wonder if she returned with Uncle Black Shoes? Tsk, no, Master Qi is still Foundation Establishment at Jade Pill Market in Pu Prefecture, and there's been no news yet. Madam Qi should be there too."

Just as Sect Leader Kang Da was frowning at the deep affection between Master Qi and his wife, even if Chu Yanran was willing to help, Kang Dabao would still need to resolve the issue of the grade of the spirit fields under the jurisdiction of the Chongming Sect first.

"Wait a minute, wasn't there Second Tier spirit field among the Lang Yi properties that He Degong sent over before?" Kang Dabao suddenly remembered and immediately took it out to check.

"Six acres of Second-Tier Lower-Grade spirit fields, in Hong County, is rather far. But it's alright, we can have the He Household look after them." Sect Leader Kang Da was pondering and weighing the pros and cons when he saw his wife gracefully enter the courtyard.

Zhou Yixiu noticed that Fei Shuhe, who exuded nobility, was followed by a pretty maid. He had rarely met his sister-in-law, who came from a wealthy family, and couldn't help but feel flustered. He straightened his clothes, composed himself, bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Sister-in-law, may you be well?"

"Uncle Zhou Household, you're too kind," Fei Shuhe said with a smile, adding a touch of color to the simple courtyard.

After returning the greeting with a faint smile, she waved her hand lightly, and Yu'er stepped forward. Steam seeped from the two glass cups on the spiritual wood tray in the maid's hand. Zhou Yixiu felt her spiritual power increase slightly just from smelling the aroma.

"This is Golden Bone Orangutan Lips that Sister Wanqing asked someone to bring from her clan's territory in Ying Prefecture. Although it's not as precious as Purple Orangutan Lips, which even the nobles in the palace often eat, the taste is still quite good. As winter gets colder, I asked the chef to braise it for a while, just in time to warm up my husband and Junior Brother Zhou."

Although Fei Shuhe spoke politely, how could Zhou Yixiu not know the preciousness of this spiritual dish?

This is far more than just warming up. Not only is it highly beneficial to Zhou Yixiu, an old cultivator in his eighties, but it can also help strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality for Qi Refining Qi Refinement like Yuan and Pei who are preparing to Foundation Establishment.

"This sister-in-law is truly generous. This Spirit Cuisine is something that some important figures in the state court might not even get to eat once a year." Zhou Yixiu quickly thanked her, but Sect Leader Kang Da secretly gave her a wink.

The noblewoman of the Fei Household could easily see through her plump young master's little scheme, and said with a smile, "I only found out at the last minute that you had a meeting today, so the chef was a bit slow and that's why we're late. Ping'er has already sent the gifts to the other uncles."

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." Sect Leader Kang Da sincerely thanked her, while also sighing, "Ever since I exposed Fei Shuhe, she's been doing an increasingly better job as the Headmaster's wife."

One would think that marrying a virtuous wife would bring complete satisfaction, but Fei Shuhe was also exceptionally beautiful.

When Sima Fei Kang Dabao to agree to the marriage by pressing his neck down, he never imagined he would have such good fortune.

Knowing she couldn't linger, Zhou Yixiu quickly finished the Golden Bone Gorilla Lips in the glass cup, then hastily made up an excuse and rushed home to savor it.

Kang Dabao was much more relaxed than him. After he finished eating the spiritual dish in a leisurely manner, he looked up and saw Fei Shuhe looking at him with a half-smile.

Even the Sect Leader Kang Da, who remained calm even when facing a fake Dao of Alchemy technique and a top-tier Foundation Establishment, felt his back burning from that gaze.

"What's wrong, Madam?"

"Yuan Xiyue said she wants to see you," Fei Shuhe, her smile gradually fading.

"Yuan Xiyue wants to see me? How did Shuhe know?!" Although Kang Dabao was puzzled, he kept his doubts to himself. He simply said:

"There's no rush. She doesn't have any leverage left to negotiate with me. Let's give her some space for now. We'll see what the Yuan Household plans to do when they come knocking, and then I'll make my own decisions."

Currently, Yuan Xiyue has been casually placed in a courtyard by Kang Dabao and guarded by a protective barrier. Jiang Qing will also go over to check on her from time to time. However, as long as the Six Star Gang Flame Formation is not destroyed, even top Foundation Establishment like Yuan Feng and Yue Lan would not dare to act recklessly within the Chongming Sect.

"You should still meet her. After all, she is connected to the abbot of Original Response Temple and the entire Jingnan Prefecture. It wouldn't be right to be too negligent," Fei Shuhe gently advised again.

Kang Dabao was even more surprised, but he didn't ask. He quickly got up and headed to Yuan Xiyue's residence to investigate.

"Wrong, I've taken Yuan Xiyue to Green Lotus Courtyard," Fei Shuhe said softly, pulling Kang Dabao out of the Chongming Sect. On the way, the latter finally couldn't contain himself and asked suspiciously, "Why did you bring Yuan Xiyue to Green Lotus Courtyard?"

Fei Shuhe didn't answer him at first, but instead said, "Zhang Qingran is there too."

The suspicion on Sect Leader Kang Da's face deepened, but Fei Shuhe offered no explanation. The two remained silent the entire way, and before half a pipe's worth of time had passed, they entered Green Lotus Courtyard.

Skilled individuals like the Dragon Beast Master have all settled permanently at the Chongming Sect with Fei Shuhe, serving as initiators and advisors. Even housekeepers like Nanny Sun are constantly shuttling between the two places. As a result, Green Lotus Courtyard is much less lively than before.

"Sect Leader Kang, it's been a long time." Yuan Xiyue said politely, her expression even more aloof than when she first met Kang Dabao.

At this moment, Fei Shuhe her Law Power, making her look no different from a weak, innocent, ordinary girl.

"Our sect is struggling to make ends meet and resources are scarce, so we have been slow to treat you, fellow Daoist. We hope you will not take offense." Sect Leader Kang Da first glanced back at his wife to make sure she was alright before replying.

Yuan Xiyue glanced at Kang Dabao, who had just eaten a portion of Golden Bone Ape Lips and hadn't yet refined it, and whose seven orifices were still faintly glowing. She remained unmoved by the latter's shamelessness.

Having fallen into the hands of this womanizer, how could she possibly hope for a good ending?

"But..." Yuan Xiyue looked at Fei Shuhe behind Kang Dabao, utterly puzzled, "Does this noble lady of the Fei Household despise this scoundrel to the extreme? Otherwise, why would she aid and abet him, doing these despicable things for him?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan?" Kang Dabao asked Yuan Xiyue, who hadn't spoken for a while. She snapped out of her reverie and said softly, "What will it take for Sect Leader Kang to let me go?"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I, Kang, am also in a dilemma." For some reason, Sect Leader Kang Da looked at the aloof and distant Yuan Xiyue, a feeling of heat rose in his lower abdomen.

"Something's not right. Could it be that this female cultivator has made progress in her Wisdom Consort Form?!" Kang Dabao's heart skipped a beat, but the next moment he saw Zhang Qingran and Nanny Sun enter the room together.

Nanny Sun looked strange, but she didn't say a word and left the room.

"Ha, I thought you were a man of integrity! Hypocritical, despicable!"

Looking at Zhang Qingran's pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, whom she had only been separated from for less than a day, and listening to the female cultivator's scathing curses, if Sect Leader Kang Da still didn't understand Fei Shuhe's intentions at this moment, then he would have lived two lives in vain.

"Lady!"

"Why do I need to ask someone else about something as simple as taking out the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance?!" Fei Shuhe's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she gently stretched out her slender fingers, about to unbutton the robe of Sect Leader Kang Da.

"Isn't this a bit absurd?!" Kang Dabao looked frightened and grabbed his clothes.

"Absurd?! What's absurd about it?! Two Higher Vehicle -quality tonics have been offered to them, how can they refuse? Have you mastered the Mystic Union Method of Primordial Oneness? Use the Yin-Yang Harmony Method first, be rough, don't hold back! You've always done this so well! What's with the hesitation, just like how you usually treat Huo Ying!!"

"Shuhe! Let's discuss this again. At least let Zhang Qingran go. I promised her beforehand."

"Take it off!" The noblewoman of the Fei Household first let her hair down, and a large swath of black hair fell onto her fair and smooth skin. Then, her tight skirt, undergarment, and stockings fell off one after another. The already aroused Sect Leader Kang Da was reluctant to blink and could hardly resist.

"This 'Mystic Union Method of Primordial Oneness is quite profound; take a look first."

"What's the point of studying that dual cultivation method? You practice on them first, and I'll learn it after watching." As soon as the beautiful young woman finished speaking, she flicked her slender fingers through the air, and with a series of "whoosh whoosh" sounds, the clothes of the other two women in the room also exploded.

Fei Shuhe's mind-controlling drug was of a very high level. Not only was Zhang Qingran, who was not skilled enough, unable to break it, but even Yuan Xiyue, who cultivated the Buddha Mother Wisdom Consort Dao, could not withstand it.

The two women lay sprawled, their bodies limp, too weak to even speak.

"This... this..." For a moment, Kang Dabao was a little overwhelmed.

"Heh, still not behaving yourself." Fei Shuhe chuckled softly, took light steps, and strolled to the front of Sect Leader Kang Da. She pushed him back a few steps before taking the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance that he had already taken out of his hand.

A glint of light appeared on the tip of the scallion finger, causing the fragrant cake to ignite with pale blue flames. Instantly, a delicate fragrance filled the entire quiet room.

If Sect Leader Kang Da can still maintain his composure at this moment, then he is truly no ordinary person. With such a temperament, he could almost compete with the Original Buddha Sect for the position of the contemporary Buddhist disciple.

Even now, Kang Dabao remained tight-lipped, saying in a hoarse voice, "Shuhe, you've really put me in a difficult position."

At this moment, it wasn't just Kang Dabao who was unable to contain himself!

In an instant, the room was filled with a fragrant breeze, intoxicating and hypnotic.

I've been writing a lot about dual cultivation lately, and I guess everyone's getting tired of it (plus, it's too easy to get banned, so revising it all isn't worth it), so I probably won't be writing much more in the future.

Then, on December 31st, Lao Bai will be recommending this book, so could those who like it take a moment to write some positive reviews in the comments section these next few days? Lao Bai is shamelessly asking for your help; consider it an activity. The comment with the most likes will get you a small red envelope in the group. (If you really think it's poorly written, please wait until after these few days to write a negative review. The word count in curly braces is still counted, and it's free! Thank you everyone!)
