Midnight.
Guest room.
Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, with Five Hearts Facing Heaven, closing his eyes to concentrate.
Suddenly, an extreme cold aura emanated from within Shen Xuanâs body.
The surrounding temperature plummeted.
The cold aura condensed into a vague outline of a Demon Beast.
Only about a zhang in size, snow-white all over, with a head like a tiger, a fish body, a serpent tail, short horns, and four claws.
It was the Frost Snow Flood Dragon.
Had he broken through to the Golden Body Realm Body Refiner already?
Shen Xuanâs face showed a trace of a smile.
He operated the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].
The next moment.
An unbelievable scene appeared.
The Frost Snow Flood Dragon formed from cold aura suddenly emitted a burst of white light, becoming slightly clearer, roared, and then darted into Shen Xuanâs body.
Subsequently, Shen Xuanâs body expanded, with exposed muscles bulging high, and his face became ferocious.
After swelling to over a zhang in height, Shen Xuanâs appearance faintly changed towards the form of the Frost Snow Flood Dragon.
He looked like a monstrous being, half snake, half human.
If Elder Bai saw this scene, he would be absolutely stunned, gaping in shock.
In just over a month, with the help of the Mysterious Jade Talisman, Shen Xuan had fused nearly half of the Frost Snow Flood Dragonâs Essence Blood, cultivating the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] to the Fifth Transformation.
Now, Shen Xuan was a Golden Body Realm Body Refiner.
And he was simulating the form of such a Divine Dragon descendant as the Frost Snow Flood Dragon.
"Not enough!"
Shen Xuan silently performed various Physical Skills.
[Sharp Teeth and Fangs], with tusks swiftly growing out.
[Wishful Size], causing his body to swell another half, reaching one and a half zhang.
[Infinite Strength], [Devouring All Things], [Iron Bone], [Critical Strike].
Adding in the special occasion skill [Demon Blood Boiling].
Shen Xuan estimated that, with just physical strength, he could contend with that Tier Two Top Grade Bear Demon.
And this was only the Fifth Transformation of [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].
[Wishful Size] was still at the proficient stage.
Given a little more time.
He could completely refine the Frost Snow Flood Dragonâs Essence Blood.
[Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] would be upgraded to the Seventh Transformation.
[Wishful Size] and [True Ice Heart Technique] would advance to mastery.
By then, he would be even more confident dealing with those Tier Two Top Grade Demon Beasts.
Shen Xuan slowly retracted his skills, opened his eyes, revealing a look of satisfaction.
[Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] and the Frost Snow Flood Dragon, both are treasures!
Along with Elder Baiâs cultivation insights, allowing his cultivation to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"This [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], worthy as the top Body Refining Technique in Song Country. If it advances to the Ninth Transformation, manifesting the Frost Snow Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect, it not only strengthens the physical body but also grants all its bloodline Talent Skills, enough to contend with a Fake Pill Master!"
As for a True Pill Master, their power is far too strong, several times that of a Fake Pill Master, and Shen Xuan dares not entertain such thoughts.
Moreover, according to the endnotes of [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], Elder Baiâs ancestor speculated that after the Ninth Transformation, possessing purer True Spirit Essence Blood could possibly push further, cultivating a True Spirit Dharma Aspect.
Shen Xuan shook his head.
Such things, there is no need to even think about.
Itâs indeed too distant.
Shen Xuanâs Main Cultivation Technique is the [Divine Hidden Sea Technique].
Using the [True Ice Heart Technique] as a guide, condensing an Ice Attribute Inner Core, this is his rightful path of cultivation.
As for Body Refining Techniques, they are merely supplementary.
Furthermore, using [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] to refine True Spirit Descendant Essence Blood for body refining is not an easy task.
If the flesh body and Divine Soul cannot suppress the True Spirit Descendant Essence Blood, it will backfire, possibly causing the body to explode and die.
Shen Xuan already possesses many physical bloodline skills, and with the assistance of the Mysterious Jade Talisman, Master Cold Jade helped him condense the Profound Ice Spirit Lotus in his Dantian Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.
With all these, Shen Xuan could progress smoothly, facing no bottlenecks while cultivating [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].
Having just broken through, Shen Xuan continued to sit and exercise his skills, consolidating his Body Refining Technique realm.
At this moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
A sweet voice was heard.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, YanâEr has something to discuss with you!"
He opened the door.
Shangguan YanâEr had changed into a Butterfly Play Narcissus Wishful Dress, smiling brightly and gorgeously alluring.
She stood at the doorway, gazing at Shen Xuan.
With lotus steps, she brushed past Shen Xuanâs body, entering the room.
Shen Xuan was slightly startled.
During the day, the three clansmen of Shangguan YanâEr had all perished at Wusheng Pass.
Shangguan YanâEr barely escaped, deeply grieved.
Yet now, she seemed like a different person, as if nothing had happened.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, YanâEr heard that in the Mortal World there is a game, quite interesting."
"Itâs called Truth or Dare. Do you know how to play it?"
Shangguan YanâEr flashed a charming smile, her lips curving slightly, as she slowly leaned closer.
Shen Xuan caught the fresh fragrance emanating from Shangguan YanâErâs body.
"Iâve never heard of it, I donât know how to play."
Shen Xuan took a step back.
Avoiding Shangguan YanâErâs approach.
"Immortal Shangguan, speak your mind directly!"
Shangguan YanâEr took a deep breath.
Her cheeks turned more radiant red.
"Shen Fei, you are an Ice Cultivator!"
"It was you at Wusheng Pass, casting a spell to slay the demons and save me, correct!"
During the day, Shangguan YanâEr was leading the clan to support, almost getting bitten to death by two Tier Two Bloodthirsty Forest Leopards.
Later, she was saved by a Spirit Shield transformed from an Ice Fish.
And those two Tier Two Bloodthirsty Forest Leopards were slain by two other Ice Fish directly, and their carcasses taken.
From beginning to end.
No one saw the figure of the spellcaster.
Clearly, that personâs [Invisibility Technique] was exceptionally proficient.
At the time, Shangguan YanâEr did not realize it.
After returning to the Bai Family Stronghold, she pondered quietly and quickly deduced the answer.
It was impossible that anyone in Bai Family Stronghold had such exquisite Ice Technique.
Most likely, it was the ever-hidden, unfathomable Shen Fei!
"Just passing by, lending a hand."
"Immortal Shangguan, no need to dwell on it."
Shen Xuan did not deny it.
The fact that he mastered Ice Technique would come out sooner or later.
The expression on Shangguan YanâErâs face was extraordinary.
To her, what seemed important, Shen Xuan brushed off lightly.
Completely without the intent of claiming a debt of gratitude.
"YanâEr admits her mistake!"
Shangguan YanâEr pouted slightly, with a hint of grievance.
"YanâEr is tasked with reviving the Shangguan Clan, having sworn before the ancestors of the Shangguan Family to never marry out!"
"YanâEr knows that Fellow Daoist Shen would never agree to join the family by marriage."
"In fact, YanâEr..."
Shangguan YanâEr hesitated, ultimately unable to continue.
Shen Xuan smiled slightly.
"Alright! Iâve received Immortal Shangguanâs kind intentions."
"Itâs getting late, Immortal Shangguan, you should head back to rest early."
Shangguan YanâEr quickly said, "Shen Fei, YanâEr brought Daughter Red Spirit Wine."
"Drink a few cups with YanâEr."
"Just like when we first met."
Shen Xuan gazed into Shangguan YanâErâs eyes.
Perhaps it was due to refining the Frost Snow Flood Dragon Essence Blood earlier.
Gazing at that flawless, fair face, Shen Xuan suddenly felt a wave of heat.
"Then letâs have a few drinks!"
The two sat opposite each other.
The moon split its shine, and the bright river shared its reflection.
They exchanged a smile and lifted their cups simultaneously.
The Daughter Red Spirit Wine had been stored for over forty years and had quite the kick.
They had drunk it three times before.
Every time they stopped at the right moment.
But today, for some reason,
Shangguan YanâEr had a few more cups.
She was slightly tipsy.
Her courage grew a bit.
"Shen Fei, youâre so powerful, you canât possibly be a loose cultivator!"
Shangguan YanâErâs eyes were like autumn water, shimmering with a unique charm.
Shen Xuan smiled but said nothing.
"Not speaking means you agree! YanâEr, take a guess!"
"Youâre a disciple of one of the seven major sects of Song Country!"
Seeing Shen Xuan still smiling without answering, Shangguan YanâEr clapped and laughed.
"YanâEr guessed it!"
"Profound Celestial Golden Sun, Divine Sword Beast Emperor, Thousand Mechanism Cyan Cloud Medicine God!"
"No spirit beast, no medicinal scent, not many magical treasures, not a Gold and Fire Cultivator."
"Wealthy, not a Sword Cultivator!"
"Profound Celestial Sect? Doesnât quite fit. Itâs said that disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect are proud and rigid."
"Shen Fei, youâre a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect!"
Shen Xuan gently raised his cup in acknowledgment and took a sip of Spirit Wine.
"Immortal Shangguan is indeed extraordinarily wise!"
"So, Fellow Daoist Shen is a cultivator of a major sect, no wonder you dare to wander alone, with great skill and courage!"
Shangguan YanâErâs voice was filled with a sense of desolation.
Only now did she understand.
Why Shen Xuan had directly refused the Shangguan Clanâs offer of support.
"So, Shen Fei isnât your real name either?"
Shen Xuan smiled.
"We are all wanderers under the same sky, why should we have known each other before?"
"Tonight, the flowers are in full bloom, and the moon is full. Why worry about tomorrow, letâs drink the wine in the cup."
Shen Xuan gently clinked his cup.
Shangguan YanâEr drank it all in one go.
"Shen Fei, YanâEr is drunk."
Shangguan YanâEr swayed and stood up, sitting down on Shen Xuanâs lap.
Her eyelids slowly closed, and her head rested gently against Shen Xuanâs chest.
In an instant.
Their blood pulsed with excitement.
Her soft and supple body exuded an inexplicable sense of excitement in Shen Xuan.
"Immortal Shangguan, Iâm no saint."
"YanâEr is so tired! Let YanâEr lean on you."
Shen Xuan gently embraced Shangguan YanâEr.
The touch was warm and fragrant, like jade.
Shangguan YanâEr gently teased, and the water lily skirt slipped down quietly.
The intoxicating atmosphere imbued by the wine was more powerful than the wine itself.
"Immortal Shangguan, youâre playing with fire!"
This time, Shen Xuan did not refuse, controlling his strength, his hand gently ventured inside.
Softly within his grasp.
Shangguan YanâErâs face, like a snow lotus, flushed even more red.
In a daze, she muttered blissful murmurs.
"Shen Lang!"
Shen Xuan cast a spell, transforming into a blue spiritual wall, isolating the two of them.
The soft bed began to shake.
At first, it swayed gently, like a gentle breeze through the willow branches.
But soon, the wind grew stronger, the vibrations increased in frequency, and the amplitude also grew larger.
After half an hour.
Shangguan YanâEr lay exhausted in Shen Xuanâs arms.
Her hands wrapped around Shen Xuanâs neck.
"Shen Lang, youâre wonderful..."
Time slowly passed.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Shen Xuan smiled and asked, "Have you rested enough? Shall we continue!"
"No, YanâEr cannot!"
Shangguan YanâEr was pale with shock.
This was different from what she had imagined.
The books said it would last about the time it takes to burn half an incense stick.
But it had been half an hour.
Shen Lang was still not satisfied!
"YanâEr can do it!"
Shen Xuan said with a smile.
He then flipped over, mounted, and continued with intensity.
In truth, he was always being careful to control himself.
Otherwise, with his strength, Shangguan YanâEr would not have been able to bear it.
She would have fainted long ago.
"Shen Lang, no more!"
Shen Xuan held Shangguan YanâEr down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly.
"Be a little patient."
"I will be gentle."
After all, she was a Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator from a noble family.
Although Shangguan YanâEr was exhausted, her recovery ability and flexibility were quite good.
Finally allowing Shen Xuan to release some pressure.
Throughout this night.
The soft bed never stayed still for long.
It always shook from time to time.
That night, the aura of spring was overwhelming.
The whole garden couldnât contain the spring scenery; a single red apricot blossomed beyond the wall.
