Chapter 65

She certainly had some skills, but that was just about it.

Su Lingshu suddenly felt the composure of a strong expert; she cast a rather proud glance at Ji Chanxi.

Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan also looked at Ji Chanxi with some strangeness. Is this really all there is to the daughter of Pavilion Master Ji Yitian of the Yin-Yang Pavilion? And to think they had been worried that Ji Chanxi would take up too much of Lin Yi's time and leisure.

Ji Chanxi had no heart to pay attention to the slightly "contemptuous" looks from Su Lingshu, Lu Jiajing, and Pei Yuhan. She sniffled, but immediately after, she "coughed" a few times because of that action.

Lin Yi looked at Ji Chanxi with some amusement. Ji Chanxi looked pitifully at Lin Yi. Lin Yi pulled away, and Ji Chanxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then…

"Ah? Ah?!!" Ji Chanxi looked helplessly at herself being lifted by Lin Yi's spiritual power. She instinctively grabbed the stone wall nearby, and then…

Lin Yi smiled and hugged Ji Chanxi's slender waist from behind. He leaned in close to Ji Chanxi's lustrous earlobe, his warm breath hitting her delicate ear, making her shiver instinctively.

"Xier, I never said… that I would forgive you… for those words you just said…" Lin Yi's calm voice made Ji Chanxi's body tremble again, and she pulled a long face.

"I know I was wrong!! I'll never say things like that again!!! Brother Lin Yi!! I beg you!! Xier knows she was wrong!!!"

Ji Chanxi's words did not make Lin Yi speak again. He just wrapped his arms tightly around Ji Chanxi's slender waist. Ji Chanxi pursed her lips, fighting back the feeling of dizziness.

She was forced to spin around in Lin Yi's arms…

Not far away, Su Lingshu's body trembled. She immediately began to recall in her heart whether she had ever offended Lin Yi in the past.

Wait a second! A thought suddenly popped into Su Lingshu's mind!

Should she… also say a few nasty things to Lin Yi?

Su Lingshu looked at Ji Chanxi, and deep in her heart, an irrepressible urge to try it out began to emerge…

Pei Yuhan and Lu Jiajing's gazes flickered uncertainly. Watching Ji Chanxi like that, they swallowed their saliva.

Chapter 104: A Few Things About Cultivating Yin-Yang Techniques Together

The so-called Great Void Selflessness is a type of technique. In Daoist magic, the Dao is the foundation, and the technique is the branch. It does not require switching to a Daoist text to be used.

It is just like the Yin-Yang Daoist technique "Sun and Moon Shining Together" that Pei Yuhan originally taught to Lin Yi and Yu Xiaotang, but compared to that technique, this Great Void Selflessness is much more complex.

It not only requires the two people's Meridians to be connected, but also requires some specific postures…

Lin Yi held Pei Yuhan, performing the specific postures of Great Void Selflessness. The two shared a set of Meridians, and Lin Yi's spiritual power was merging into Pei Yuhan's body, gradually forging the foundation for the Return to Void Realm for her.

Lin Yi silently closed his eyes, stabilizing their bodies. Ji Chanxi sat to one side, guiding Lin Yi and Pei Yuhan's cultivation.

If it were someone from Lin Yi's past life, even if they were to break their bones and entwine their flesh, they would not be able to perform such movements; it really had to be the body of a Qi cultivator that could endure it.

"Brother Lin Yi, don't let your thoughts wander. Take me into your body; you must not let your spiritual power leak out." Ji Chanxi reminded him from the side.

Lin Yi hurriedly focused his mind, using the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage expert to steady his body.

At this moment, Lin Yi was as if intertwined with Pei Yuhan, in a state where 'you are in me, and I am in you.' Although it didn't look very terrifying, it had a strange and twisted feeling.

Ji Chanxi silently counted the time. When a certain moment arrived, she gave a soft shout, "Zha!!"

Lin Yi and Pei Yuhan, immersed in cultivating the Dao, moved their bodies, instantly changing to a new posture. Ji Chanxi nodded with satisfaction and continued to count the time silently.

Su Lingshu sat to the side watching this scene. She watched the power within Lin Yi's body surge into Pei Yuhan's body, and inexplicably, she felt a blockage in her heart; she felt some heartache for her husband.

Lu Jiajing closed her eyes and quietly refined the spiritual power from the outside world. She thought… the more spiritual power she refined, the less Lin Yi would lose. Unfortunately… Lin Yi's Physique was special; his spiritual power could help them break through the rigid barrier from the Soul Transformation Stage to the Return to Void Realm.

But the spiritual power they refined themselves could only serve as a supplement…

This was also the reason why they had been unable to step into the Return to Void Realm. If one's Aptitude was not enough, it just wasn't enough. Even after a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand or a million years, there would be no way.

Their bodies did not support them in stepping into that realm, unless… their Aptitude could be improved…

Lu Jiajing opened her eyes slightly and sighed. She stopped trying. Looking at Lin Yi and Pei Yuhan entwined in mid-air, she always had the feeling that they were eating Lin Yi's flesh and drinking his blood.

Lin Yi was being kept by them; cultivating the Dao relied on him, relief… also relied on him, and even in terms of emotions, they were drawing upon his affection…

People in the secular world say that you are what you eat, so humans eat humans, and Qi cultivators eat Qi cultivators, only then can they reach the highest point…

Lu Jiajing immediately cut away these thoughts. She felt more and more indecisive. By Lin Yi's side, her emotions were uncontrollably overflowing, and her once pure and inactive Dao Heart was stained with a layer of pink…

Since her husband wished to help them attain the Dao, they could only not fail his hopes. Once they attained the Dao, they would help him step onto the Great Dao together!

Have you not heard? If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening.

For this great gift from Lin Yi, they could only repay him with the rest of their lives, right?

Lu Jiajing's gaze became increasingly calm and pure. Seeking the Dao with this heart was originally just for the Dao, but now seeking the Dao was nothing more than the two words: 'Husband'.

Ji Chanxi, on the side, did not understand the complex thoughts in Lu Jiajing's heart. She watched Lin Yi and Pei Yuhan change into another posture, and after counting that the time difference was about right, she gave a soft shout.

In mid-air, Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes. He handed over the accumulated spiritual power to Pei Yuhan without hesitation. Pei Yuhan let out a muffled groan, and then, without daring to delay in the slightest, she gathered this spiritual power into her Dantian.

There was no need to refine it; this strand of spiritual power, mixed with Lin Yi's spiritual power and the Great Void Selflessness spiritual power, had already been absorbed by her.

Don't know how much time had passed, Pei Yuhan breathed out a puff of hot air, which turned into mist and dissipated in the cold night. She pursed her lips, opened her eyes, and shook her head at Lin Yi and Lu Jiajing.

Lin Yi carried the somewhat exhausted Pei Yuhan and flew down from mid-air. Pei Yuhan broke free from Lin Yi's embrace and sat to the side to recover her strength.

Lin Yi's body was still fine; the movements and maintaining them didn't require much energy, but Pei Yuhan was not the case. She mainly needed to resist the unbearable sensations given by Lin Yi…

It wasn't that Pei Yuhan was unwilling to stay in Lin Yi's embrace; it was mainly that she felt some shame, and not having succeeded in the Breakthrough put quite a bit of pressure on her.

Lin Yi whispered a few words of comfort. Pei Yuhan nodded gently. She closed her eyes and cut away her distracting thoughts; she understood that such things could not be rushed.

Lin Yi turned to look at Lu Jiajing. Lu Jiajing pursed her lips, then flew towards Lin Yi. In mid-air, her green dress fluttered, like a Fairy who had unfortunately fallen to the mortal world.

Between her light brows and eyes was a touch of seriousness. As for shyness or anything like that… those superfluous emotions had long been cut away by her.

Lin Yi hugged Lu Jiajing, who had thrown herself into his arms. Lu Jiajing lifted her head to look at Lin Yi's slightly damp temples. She paused, her soft lips parted slightly, "You've worked hard."

Lu Jiajing used her sleeve to carefully wipe the sweat from her husband's temples and forehead. Lin Yi grabbed her slender, fair wrist, and the spiritual power on Lin Yi's body swirled, erasing the sweat and some unknown liquid from his body.

"Rather… I think the taste of Master… is very good." Lin Yi's words made Pei Yuhan's body twitch, and the corners of Lu Jiajing's lips curved into a beautiful arc.

Lin Yi's words instantly turned the somewhat heavy atmosphere into a pink one.

"Then… the taste of your Senior Sister Jinger… Xiao Yi, do you want to taste it…" Lu Jiajing grabbed Lin Yi's hand in return. She twisted her wrist and squeezed her soft fingertips into the gaps between Lin Yi's fingers, and the two interlaced their fingers.

"That is only natural…" Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

Immediately after, he was swept up by Lu Jiajing's spiritual power, and amidst the fluttering of his white robes and her green skirt, the two flew up into mid-air.

Lu Jiajing looked at Lin Yi's face, which was now inches away, with a smile on her lips. "Then, this elder sister… will have to let you, my little Yi'er, properly compare the flavor of me and your Master…"

She leaned down and kissed Lin Yi's lips…

…

Lu Jiajing's taste was certainly no less than Pei Yuhan's; the former was as light and elegant as a lotus, the latter as cold and pure as snow. Both were Fairies with extremely voluptuous figures, swaying waists, and long, jade-like legs.

The taste of it all goes without saying.

Lu Jiajing leaned against Lin Yi's chest. She felt a bit of regret; just like Pei Yuhan, she hadn't managed to reach the Return to Void Realm by borrowing Lin Yi's momentum, but she had already glimpsed the possibility.

Therefore, Lu Jiajing didn't worry too much. She just smiled at Lin Yi, their gazes meeting as spiritual power swept over, covering them in green and white robes.

Lin Yi pinched Lu Jiajing's little face. "Sister Jinger must be tired too, would you like to rest for a while?"

Lu Jiajing pursed her lips, then gave a soft hum. "Okay."

Lu Jiajing silently closed her beautiful eyes, letting her somewhat softened thoughts begin to calm down, and nestled into Lin Yi's arms, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Looking at Lu Jiajing's calmed expression, Lin Yi reached out and pulled Pei Yuhan, who was sitting on the other side, into his arms as well.

"Master, let's rest for a while." Lin Yi said softly, and without caring whether Pei Yuhan objected, he reached out and pressed her head against his chest.

Pei Yuhan's pretty face pressed against her disciple's chest. She sniffed with her beautiful, delicate nose but did not refuse. The slight stubborn thought that had risen in her body gradually dissipated under the soothing touch of Lin Yi's warm palms.

Pei Yuhan was a stubborn person. Having accepted Lin Yi's kindness, she wanted to live up to his expectations. For this… she would disregard her own physical and mental exhaustion to continue refining the spiritual power between heaven and earth.

She herself understood that she was just doing futile work, but once she stopped, she felt an inexplicable anxiety. That specific emotion was urging her to constantly move forward.

Even if there was nothing to do, she wanted to do something.

Pei Yuhan used her pretty face to sense the sound of Lin Yi's heartbeat. Blood was pumped by his healthy heart, flowing throughout his body and making a gurgling sound, like heavy mercury rushing.

Pei Yuhan felt a little more at ease. She silently closed her eyes, and under Lin Yi's gentle patting… her consciousness gradually blurred, and slowly, slowly, she drifted off to sleep…

Feeling the gentle breathing of Pei Yuhan and Lu Jiajing, Lin Yi glanced at Su Lingshu and Ji Chanxi, who were sitting not far away, and transmitted his voice to them using spiritual power.

"Shu'er, stop pouting. How about I properly compensate you later, okay?" Lin Yi chuckled as he looked at Su Lingshu's face, which was full of jealousy.

Su Lingshu curled her lips and spoke with a bit of tsundere attitude. "Who's pouting! But… you promised the compensation! You can't go back on your word!!"

Lin Yi naturally nodded. "I won't, I won't."

Speaking of which… Lin Yi suddenly remembered… that promise the Junior Sister made about setting aside one night to accompany her—he hadn't fulfilled it yet, had he?

Lin Yi looked at Su Lingshu calmly, without any sense of shame. Su Lingshu huffed and nodded; the jealousy on her face dissipated. Or rather, she had put on that act precisely to get compensation from Lin Yi.

As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk; if you don't express your demands seriously, how will others take you seriously?

Seeing that things were fine with Su Lingshu, Lin Yi turned to Ji Chanxi. "Xier…"

Before he could finish, Ji Chanxi immediately interrupted him. "Mm… I'm not jealous!! It's just…"

What came after the transition was what she really wanted to say. Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the somewhat timid Ji Chanxi. Ji Chanxi was truly changeable; just moments ago she looked composed and at ease, but now she had become like a little girl again. Lin Yi felt like calling her the Goddess of a Hundred Transformations.

"It's just that, Brother Lin Yi… could you look at Xier more often… just talking to Xier every day would be enough… Xier isn't greedy…"

Another statement full of "green tea" vibes. Lin Yi was used to it by now. "Okay, but… isn't just talking a bit too low of a requirement? How about I make Xier happy every day, okay?"

Ji Chanxi's fair face turned slightly red. She hesitated, looking at Lin Yi, and finally nodded shyly. "Mm… okay…"

What was meant by "make her happy" was, of course, nothing serious.

Lin Yi used his spiritual power to soothe the minds of Pei Yuhan and Lu Jiajing in his arms, so they could sleep more deeply, and his gaze swept over the moonlight outside the cave.

Lin Yi actively circulated the Sun Book and began to Cultivate, leaning on the brilliant moonlight. He looked at the cold, large moon. Although it was almost the end of the month, already in the latter ten days, compared to the middle of the month, this moon was becoming increasingly full.

It was truly strange…

I wonder… is the moon in the various regions of this world the same one I see?

As the saying goes, "Together we share the bright moon despite the thousand miles." I wonder… Lin Yi's gaze was filled with contemplation.

…

Meanwhile, in Chengtian City. Fuxue Palace.

Yu Xiaotang sat bored on the roof, looking at the bright moon overhead. Beside her sat Li Tiaodeng, who was meditating and practicing Qi.

Perhaps because Lin Yi not taking her had stimulated her, in the days since Lin Yi and his group left, she had been exceptionally diligent, which in turn caused Yu Xiaotang to start working hard as well.

Yu Xiaotang sighed slightly. After resting for a while, she began to continue practicing Qi.

Xuanyuan Xier sat in her room reading a Dao book. She was now at the late Golden Core stage, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

But this step was quite difficult for her… After all, her Aptitude was something Old Man Yuan had exchanged for his own Return to Void Realm lifespan. Did you not see that even Xuanyuan Yi, despite being the Son of Heaven, had failed to Cultivate it successfully?

Xuanyuan Xier's gaze shifted from the Dao book illuminated by the candlelight to the bright moon outside the window. A line of poetry popped into her mind abruptly.

"Together we watch the bright moon and should shed tears; one night of longing, shared in two places."

Xuanyuan Xier didn't know where she had read this poem, but it was perfectly fitting here.

"Together we watch the bright moon and should shed tears; one night of longing, shared in two places…" Xuanyuan Xier savored the lines. She stood up, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard, looking towards the direction of the Northern Region.

I wonder if my husband's journey is going smoothly… Xuanyuan Xier missed her husband a little…

Chapter 105: Senior Sister, I'll lend Dear Lin to you for a while

Pei Zhaoji and Han Ningyan transformed into two beams of green light and left the city beneath their feet, flying towards the direction of the border pass. In the past few days, they had searched through several cities and mountains near Chengtian City using some Immortal Dao methods, and had also sent messages to the two women through secret techniques.

Unfortunately, they still hadn't found any sign of Mu Shijun and Yao Xuezhu. Earlier, news arrived from Lin Yi that Lin Yi and his group had not gone to the border pass but had headed straight for the Northern Region, so they prepared to go find their own Senior Sister.

That is, the Taiyuan Saintess, Qiu Xianzhen.

They wanted to see if Senior Sister Qiu had any news about their Master. If she did… Pei Zhaoji and Han Ningyan looked at each other. They felt a bit more encouraged and quickly flew towards the northern border pass.

It didn't take even a day and night.

The two scanned the massive city below. Because they had notified them in advance, they didn't have to worry about being shot down as Yao Beasts.

As the two stood still in mid-air, a figure wrapped in a plain white dress transformed into a beam of white light and flew out from the border city.

A soft, cold voice rang in the ears of Pei Zhaoji and Han Ningyan. "Junior Sister Pei, Junior Sister Han, what brings you both together to visit your Senior Sister?"
