In the room, the fairy who just had a cold expression turned into a dog at this moment, crawling towards He Zhiqiu who was seated at the table.
Her face bore a supremely alluring smile, her eyes enchanting like silk, with her fair and delicate limbs prostrate on the ground. As she crawled, her curves rose and fell. If Luo Wenzhi and others saw this scene, they would probably be shocked and faint.
Who would have thought that the fairy admired by countless people would assume such a degrading posture, wagging her tail like a dog, begging a man for affection?
Whatâs even more unacceptable is that the man, with a square face and ordinary looks, seemed to be completely indifferent to such seductive charms from the fairy.
"You little harlot, save it, how many times have you tried to seduce the master along the way, has he ever acknowledged you?"
At this moment, the door opened, and He Zhiqiuâs "sister" He Su walked in, arms crossed, looking disdainfully at the fairy lying on the ground.
Beside her were the maid WuâEr, the tall and vigorous Lan Yin, and two other ordinary-looking women.
WuâEr, seeing the utterly degrading Fairy Xiyue, seemed accustomed to it, counting on her fingers:
"Oh yeah, today is the third day, Jian Yueâs poison is about to flare up."
A mature woman next to her sneered: "No wonder sheâs putting in so much effort today, she doesnât want to endure the torment of the Soul-devouring Pill, right?"
Another young, pure-looking woman hesitated for a moment and said to He Zhiqiu: "Uncle Qin, why donât you give her a bit of spiritual power?"
"Xiaoxue, youâre too kind-hearted, have you forgotten how she treated you before?"
The mature woman snorted coldly, and the pure woman replied to her:
"Third Senior Sister, First Senior Sister is already hiding, this one is Jian Yue."
"Xiaoxue, you do know the difference."
Listening to these two womenâs conversation, it turned out that the mature woman was Si Minglan, while the pure young lady was Fang Xue. However, their appearances were completely different from their original selves, making it impossible for anyone to associate them with their true identities.
As for the two men and three women nearby, He Zhiqiu was Qin Gengyun, and WuâEr was Yun Wu.
He Zhiqiuâs "sister" He Su was, of course, Liu Su.
And the handsome and vigorous Young Master Lanyin was surprisingly Mo Xiaolan in disguise.
Qin Gengyun had already taught them the art of changing appearances imparted by Qiu Zhihe, and before leaving the Fallen Immortal Forest, everyone used this method to alter their looks.
To ensure no one noticed any discrepancies in their identities upon entering the Zhenyang Sect, everyone discussed the roles they would each portray.
Qin Gengyun played the role of a merchantâs son named He Zhiqiu.
Liu Su was renamed He Su, acting as He Zhiqiuâs sister.
Mo Xiaolanâs appearance after transformation was more masculine, so she simply dressed as a man and took the name Lan Yin.
Since Yun Wu couldnât cultivate, she wanted to join the group heading to the Zhenyang Sect and could only pose as Qin Gengyunâs maid, named WuâEr.
This way of changing appearances, along with the relationship with Ye Xiyue, naturally ensured they could safely ascend Zhenyang Mountain.
As for Si Minglan and Fang Xue, one was heading to Feiyun Sect, and the other back to Yunling Town, so they didnât need to go to Zhenyang City with Qin Gengyun and others.
Hence, the two casually changed their appearances, not needing to leave too much of an impression in front of outsiders.
At this time, being exposed by Jian Yue and the other women, Xiyue didnât feel any shame. Instead, she raised her buttocks higher, licked her lips, appearing ravenous, saying in a sweet voice:
"Master, I acted so well today, can you bear to see me suffer?"
Qin Gengyun looked at her calmly and said lightly: "If you continue like this, I wonât give you spiritual power tomorrow."
Jian Yue instantly stood up, standing straight with hands clasped before her abdomen, looking dignified:
"As Master commands, I will obey."
Only then did Qin Gengyun raise his hand, sending a wisp of spiritual power into Jian Yueâs body.
Jian Yue closed her eyes and twisted her body, letting out an extremely comfortable gasp, while Liu Su hugged her arms in disgust:
"Can you stop moaning, youâre giving me goosebumps!"
Jian Yue chuckled charmingly: "Second Madam, doesnât my voice sound lovely? If you want to join Master in bed, you have to moan as beautifully as this."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Jian Yueâs figure flickered and she was gone.
"Hussy!"
Liu Su grunted angrily and said to Qin Gengyun:
"Donât listen to her, Master, I never..."
She trailed off mid-sentence, but fortunately, Mo Xiaolan stepped in to rescue her, frowning:
"Although Ye Xiyueâs body is controlled by the Demon Embryo, her cultivation hasnât been impaired; we still shouldnât let our guard down."
Qin Gengyun nodded and said: "Sheâs soon to recover to Golden Core."
Si Minglan looked at him in surprise: "You can sense her cultivation?"
Qin Gengyun replied: "Yes, this is probably another effect of the Soul-devouring Pill; the one administering the pill can fully grasp the condition inside the one who took it."
The women were amazed, and Fang Xue sighed: "So now any of Jian Yueâs actions canât escape Uncle Qinâs eyes?"
Si Minglan laughed heartily: "Ye Xiyue sees her days too, serves her right!"
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms.
Qin Gengyun sat on the bed, took out three pieces of spirit marrow, and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Throughout this journey, he hadnât slackened, diligently cultivating daily.
In the Northern Wilderness, spiritual energy was abundant, so there was no need for spirit marrow. After leaving the Northern Wilderness, spiritual energy wasnât as rich, hence cultivation required the use of spirit marrow.
[Cultivation +1]
[Cultivation +2]
[Cultivation +2]
...
The cultivation improvement notifications kept popping up, but all were either +1 or +2, far less speedy than during Co-Cultivation with his wife.
An hour later, all three pieces of spirit marrow were absorbed.
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Ninth-Layer, 14071/15000]
Qin Gengyun opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.
Now he could boost by about 300 points with an hourâs cultivation, much better than before.
He shouldnât be overly greedy; soon he would break through to Golden Core, which is the first major checkpoint a cultivator faces from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.
Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators get stuck at this layer and can never reach Golden Core in their lifetime.
Even worse are those who perish from unstable foundations when attempting Golden Core, resulting in the explosion of their spirit fields.
Actually, Qin Gengyun faces some instability in his foundation now.
After all, on the path of Dual Cultivation, accelerated growth indeed meant his foundations werenât solid enough.
The storage bag left by his wife in the relic contained Golden Core Spirit Liquid and many spirit medicines to aid realm breakthroughs.
External resources were abundantly available; the only concern was whether his foundation could withstand the turbulence of breaking through to Golden Core.
Knock, knock.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Gengyun got off the bed, went to open the door, only to find a charming and enchanting woman outside.
"Taoist Friend Si, why have you come?"
At this moment, Si Minglan was dressed in the embroidered robe she wore when she first met Qin Gengyun, with half of her collar open in an enchanting smile, leaning against the door frame:
"Why, wonât you invite me in?"
Qin Gengyun hesitated for a moment and then stepped aside to invite her in.
Once inside, Si Minglan sat gracefully, her half-open collar slid down a half inch, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
Qin Gengyunâs gaze remained fixed on Si Minglanâs face, asking:
"Taoist Friend Si, what is the reason for this visit?"
Si Minglan pulled out her wine gourd from her waist, gulping down a large mouthful, the wine trickling from the corner of her mouth, flowing down the valleys. She then set down the wine gourd, staring at Qin Gengyun, suddenly giggling:
"Do you still remember how similar our first meeting was to the current scene?"
