Double penetration, plunder and hypnosis Entry - Chapter 38

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Storing Cultivation

Lin Yuan’s heart leapt at the system’s prompt, his focus sharpening on his turbulent spiritual energy. “Cultivation Storage!” he commanded. A gentle force surged from his dantian, spreading like a vast, invisible net, taming the chaotic energy within. The once-raging spiritual power calmed, stabilising his cultivation at Foundation Establishment, Fifth Layer, while his true potential rested at Golden Core, Third Layer.

Relief washed over him as he sensed the shift. “As expected, the system delivers excellence,” he murmured, opening his eyes, a glint of excitement within. Storing up to Soul Transformation level? One day, with that power banked, I won’t need hypnosis—my raw cultivation could bring Gu Qinghuan to her knees, calling me master! “Not bad,” he said, his mood buoyant. Though capped at Foundation Establishment for now, his foundation felt rock-solid. Rapid cultivation spikes aren’t always ideal, he reflected, rising to stretch his limbs.

Meanwhile, Liu Mei, having secured her prize, returned to Qixia Peak to check on Su Nianyao. Channelling a thread of spiritual energy into her disciple’s meridians, Liu Mei’s brow furrowed, astonishment flickering in her eyes. “This Pure Yang energy… so pristine!” she marvelled inwardly. Though most had dissipated, the remnants still coursed through Su Nianyao’s meridians, purifying her spiritual sea and fortifying her channels. Astonishingly, without active refinement, these traces had already boosted her cultivation significantly.

If she fully refines this, Nianyao’s cultivation could climb further, Liu Mei mused, envy and yearning stirring. Retracting her energy, she patted Su Nianyao’s shoulder, her voice warm. “How do you feel, Nianyao?” Su Nianyao nodded faintly. “Much better, Master. But… there’s a warm current inside me. It feels odd.” The sensation, comforting yet embarrassing, left her puzzled.

Liu Mei smiled, her tone layered. “That’s residual Pure Yang energy—highly beneficial. Refine it, and your cultivation will rise further.” Su Nianyao’s eyes flickered with confusion. “Pure Yang energy, Master? What is it?” Liu Mei sighed, her voice complex. “Nianyao, recall the dream you had while unconscious?” Su Nianyao blushed, startled. “Master, how did you know? I dreamt I was in a warm ocean, wrapped in a fiery force—so strange, yet… captivating.”

Liu Mei nodded, unsurprised. “That was the Pure Yang energy’s effect, which purged your demonic poison.” Su Nianyao’s curiosity deepened. “Where did it come from, Master?” After a pause, Liu Mei decided to be honest: “It’s Lin Yuan’s, the Palace Master’s disciple. He bears the Pure Yang Sacred Body, aiding others through dual cultivation to boost cultivation or cleanse poison. He saved you.”

Su Nianyao’s heart lurched, waves of shock crashing within. “Dual cultivation?” she gasped, hand covering her mouth, cheeks flaming. “Master, you mean… I… with Lin Yuan…” Liu Mei patted her hand soothingly. “Don’t overthink it, Nianyao. Your life hung by a thread—it was the only way. His Pure Yang energy not only saved you but elevated your cultivation.”

Su Nianyao’s head bowed, emotions swirling—gratitude for her life, yet shame and unease at the unconscious intimacy. “Master, what should I do?” she asked, voice trembling. Liu Mei’s tone grew firm. “Nianyao, don’t dwell on it. This is a rare opportunity. Fully refine his Pure Yang energy, and your cultivation will soar.” Su Nianyao nodded, steadying herself. “I understand, Master. I’ll refine it and meet your expectations.”

Liu Mei smiled, relieved. “Good girl. That’s the spirit.” Her voice deepened. “Nianyao, Lin Yuan’s Pure Yang energy is both a boon and a trial. Seize this chance, and your future will be boundless.” Su Nianyao’s resolve hardened. “I’ll strive, Master.” Liu Mei patted her again. “Rest now. Once you’re fully recovered, begin refining.” Su Nianyao agreed, departing.

Alone, Liu Mei’s eyes gleamed with delight. “Lin Yuan’s Pure Yang energy is extraordinary,” she thought. With it, I’ll shatter my Golden Core barrier and reach Nascent Soul. Flipping her wrist, she revealed the sect leader’s token, her lips curving as she entered her chambers.
