Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 461 Letting Him Go

The flying treasure ship sped through the sea of ​​clouds, drawing a golden line across the clear sky. The ship was radiant with spiritual light, and the celestial mist shrouded the deck. The gilded curtains that covered the entire deck swayed in the wind, and were dappled by the golden sunlight, reflecting the enchanting afterglow of the jade bed on the deck.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the exhilarating three-person cultivation session finally came to an end. Yun Jiangli stood before the mirror, dressing up and spending a long time tidying her appearance before gradually regaining the aloof, elegant, and dignified demeanor befitting a sect leader.

However, with the massive amount of spiritual energy repeatedly poured into her, filling her meridians, even the dignified Qing Tang Sect Master couldn't control herself for a while. Although she had recovered for some time, she was still covered in fragrant sweat, her jade-like skin was soaked, her body was soft and her bones were weak, and her dantian was churning with turmoil. Therefore, she couldn't even condense the fairy dress that was supposed to cover her body. She could only leave half of her plain white silk shawl open, revealing her fair and frosty lower abdomen, like a snow lotus half-bloomed on an ice peak, holy yet alluring.

As for Elder Qingtang, Chu Ruowei, it was truly her good fortune to be able to join this high-level sect leader competition. As a result, she was deeply nourished and infused with the vast immortal spiritual energy, which benefited her greatly. Her skin became radiant and translucent, giving her a mature and charming appearance.

However, her skill in cultivating Qi and refining truth was indeed slightly lacking. At this moment, she was truly exhausted and could not even sit up. She could only dangle her legs diagonally over the edge of the bed, with most of her body limp and sprawled on the couch. Her graceful figure lay diagonally, her pink back and fragrant shoulders half-exposed, and her soft, slender fingers were still slowly caressing her lower abdomen below her navel, relieving the swelling and discomfort, and savoring the sensation. For a moment, her meridians were numb and her pulse was sore, and she moaned and gasped softly, displaying a myriad of charms.

As for Xuan Tian, ​​the leader of the Beichen Sword Sect, there is no need to say more. The Yazi Dragon Seed is strong and powerful, and its breath circulation is abundant and fast. Of course, it was the first to fully recover. However, it is also the most important thing for it to exert its strength. The green robe that was just put on was soaked with sweat and stuck to its chest, showing its upright posture, strong bones and muscles. The sword light in its eyes was restrained, and the divine light shone on its head. Its power has improved even more.

Ahem, don't get me wrong. Actually, the so-called three-person cultivation is not that different from two-person cultivation. To put it bluntly, they all have to go one after another. It's nothing more than breathing in and out true breath through their mouths and noses, exhaling and inhaling, raising and refining together, exchanging a lot of Qi fluid, upgrading from one person cultivating Qi to three people cultivating Qi. To put it bluntly, it's not much different from taking a sauna.

However, the cultivators on this path all possessed incredibly high levels of skill. Together, the three of them had nearly ten thousand years' worth of true qi. This extremely rich and vast Dao energy circulated and refined within their bodies through their spiritual apertures, harmonizing yin and yang. The difficulty involved was self-evident. Even the Qing Tang Sect Master and Elder, who specialized in cultivating together, were now so exhausted that they were drenched in sweat, their tongues slightly agape, panting softly, unable to speak.

Thus, although their cultivation journey together had ended, the mingling of spiritual energy and the lingering fragrance of their body wafted through the boat, mixed with the lingering scent of their sweat. For a time, the three remained silent, each quietly adjusting their breathing, wiping away their sweat, and reflecting on their cultivation insights, truly benefiting greatly.

Yes, although they were both engaged in cultivation, Tie Dan ultimately resisted the temptation and let the two go, which was about the end of the journey. This time, the main focus was on proper cultivation. He experienced the Qi Refining Secret Method of the Qing Tang Sect but did not use the fighting techniques or peak-climbing moves of the Xiaoyao School to force them to extract their Yin essence.

Of course, Tie Dan wasn't afraid of offending the Qing Tang Sect. After all, if he could suddenly gain five thousand years of cultivation, it would be worth it even if it created a huge karmic debt. The main problem was that Tie Dan was overly cautious and managed to resist such a huge temptation.

Well, to be honest, Tie Dan is self-aware. He's not a professional in the arts of lovemaking; it's all about internal strife. He's only recently learned a couple of forbidden techniques from the Nine Heavens Sect, but they're ultimately just superficial and haven't been truly mastered. At best, he's just an outer disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect. Therefore, even if he uses them here, he might not actually have the ability to extract five thousand years of immortal essence like the Nine Heavens Demon.

Moreover, what these two women said might not be entirely true. Consider that since the Qingtang Sect and the Xiaoyao Dao are sworn enemies, and their patriarch was once tricked by Jiuxiao, how could they not have prepared some countermeasures and countermeasures over the years, even if it meant mutual destruction?

Besides, there are two of them right now, which is too troublesome. If there were only one...

Cough cough, anyway, if something really happens and he falls into a ditch and dies on someone's stomach, will Tie Dan still have any face left?
So Tiedan thought it best to be conservative and test their strengths on the first day, and deal with the rest on the second day. We have plenty of time, so let's take it one step at a time.

But this time Tie Dan miscalculated, because the other party really did come for a brief encounter, and after spending a day, he got up to say goodbye.

Yun Jiangli dressed herself neatly and sat upright on the jade couch. Her black hair cascaded down her back, and her gaze was clear and cold, making her seem like a completely different person, like a monk or nun who spends her days with a solitary lamp. Her voice was like a cold spring.

"I have long heard of the Xuan Tian Sect Leader's extraordinary talent, and seeing him today, I can attest that his reputation is well-deserved. I never imagined that there would actually be someone in the world who could refine the Nine True Essences of the Supreme Sword Dao into such a sharp and incomparably powerful Northern Star True Qi. With such attainments, the Sword Sect's name is truly well-deserved."

To be honest, I just drank a cup of spiritual tea and then cultivated with Your Excellency. During the exchange of spiritual energy, it was as if a celestial sword paved the way, directly entering my spiritual platform. In a moment of reverie, I actually comprehended a trace of the Supreme Sword Intent and sensed the opportunity for enlightenment.

"I cannot express my gratitude in words. I must urgently return to my sect for seclusion. Once I have comprehended the will of Heaven, I will personally come to thank the sect leader."

Yun Jiangli's tone was clear and crisp, carrying an air of superiority and undeniable dignity. His gaze swept over us, seemingly both admiring and scrutinizing, while a slight upturn at the corners of his lips revealed a subtle, almost imperceptible allure. He was completely different from his earlier appearance, drenched in sweat; he now possessed the demeanor of a supreme sect leader.

"This humble servant will now become your seat," Tie Dan naturally realized that she had made up her mind. After all, cultivators prioritize their own cultivation and would definitely want to return to the mountain to cultivate in seclusion and digest the sword energy that Tie Dan had injected into her body. However, this would conveniently distract a powerful opponent, so he didn't stop her and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"I see. Congratulations on your enlightenment, fellow Daoist. I have also benefited greatly from this connection with you two. I dare not delay your path to immortality. I wish you a speedy enlightenment of the Great Dao."

Chu Ruowei finally managed to get up, pressed her face against Yun Jiangli's thigh, her red lips slightly curved, her eyes alluring, and she swayed her hips languidly like a snake.

"Good sister, I've had too much stuffed in my belly, my muscles are numb and my soul has flown away, I really can't move, please carry me home."

Yun Jiangli had finally managed to maintain a proper demeanor in front of others, but this had ruined her composure again. He was both annoyed and amused, and lightly slapped Chu Ruowei on the back of the buttock.

"You lazy bum, what kind of appearance do you have? Put your skirt on now."

Seeing an opportunity, Tie Dan immediately chimed in.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu is not feeling well, why not stay a little longer and spend a few days at my Jiuyin Mountain?"

"Giggle..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ruowei smiled with captivating charm.
"What's wrong? The sect leader doesn't want my sister's bed, but he's eyeing my humble tea. Well then, I'll brew some more for you."

"You little brat, still talking nonsense! You're delaying our business!"
Fellow Daoist, don't listen to her nonsense; we've been bothering you for far too long.

Yun Jiangli pinched her hard, making Chu Ruowei cry out in pain and jump up. No longer daring to pretend, she beckoned to take the gilded curtain covering the boat and draped it over herself. She then adjusted her skirt and, half-reluctantly, rose to her feet, bowing slightly to Tie Dan.
"I appreciate the sect leader's kindness, but there are many sect affairs to attend to. Since my sister is going into seclusion to cultivate, I will naturally have to take care of the miscellaneous matters."

Besides, Sect Leader, you mustn't forget your promise; there's still the Daoist scriptures to prepare for delivery to Yuntai Peak.

Seeing that they were already dressed and determined to leave, Tiedan didn't press the matter.

"In that case, we will come to ask for your guidance again once Sect Master Yun has mastered his divine skills."

Yun Jiangli adopted a haughty demeanor and gave a slight bow.
"I eagerly await your arrival, Sect Leader. There will be plenty of time in the future. Farewell."

Chu Ruowei giggled, brushing past Tie Dan's arm as she whispered coquettishly.
"The Nine Yin Gathering will be etched in my memory. If fate allows, we will meet again another day."

Tie Dan nodded.

"Take care of yourself."

Tie Dan watched as the two women, their steps as graceful as immortals, their skirts fluttering in the wind, drifted away on the clouds, transforming into two streaks of light that disappeared into the distant sea of ​​clouds.

Qingtang Sect

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Then a coughing sound from above interrupted Tie Dan's thoughts.

Tie Dan turned his head and saw that the person was still hanging on the mast.

"Ahem, um, this... Sect Leader, you seem to be in a good mood now, right? Could you please release this old man?"

Burning Cloud Old Monster was truly about to vomit blood. He thought these people from the demonic sects weren't just being overly bullying, but their actions were just too damn unconventional, arrogant, and domineering! Hanging him up here was bad enough, but to do this in broad daylight, in broad daylight, in front of everyone, right under their noses? No, they were really too undisguised!
Tie Dan glared at him.
"Did you see clearly?"

"I saw it clearly, I saw it clearly... No, no, no, I didn't see it clearly! It was covered up completely, I couldn't see anything!"

Fen Yun was also in a bind, fearing that the other party would kill him to silence him, so he could only smile and bow.

Suddenly, Tie Dan flicked his sleeve, unleashing a nine-colored vortex that startled Fen Yun. He coldly said...

"Do you see it clearly now?"

"Uh……"

Seeing that Fen Yun still didn't understand, Tie Dan also snorted coldly.
"How has this blockhead survived this long! Didn't you say before that some unknown villain was plotting against you, tricking you into hijacking my ship?!"

Fen Yun was taken aback.
"Oh, yes, yes, I don't recognize that person..."

Tie Dan coldly sneered.
"You've also reached the Divine Transformation stage. You might not recognize people, but you can certainly recognize Qi!"

Tie Dan explained it so clearly that Fen Yun finally realized what was happening. He stared at the changing colors of the vortex in front of him and immediately recognized it.

"Purple, purple... that person is using that Purple Cloud Spiritual Qi! Huh? How come you know that move too? Did you trick me into coming to hijack your ship...?"

Burning Cloud Old Monster was momentarily confused.

Tie Dan was speechless and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I just extracted this Qi from the two of them. The one who tricked you into ambushing me was Chu Ruowei from the Qingtang Sect."

"Huh, huh? That bitch? But, but her face looks off..."

Tie Dan sneered, as if explaining, yet also as if talking to himself.
"It's just a skin-changing technique."

Since Liuzhuang has always been under the surveillance of Qingtang Sect, it's likely that they were the ones secretly interfering and concealing the truth.

So, by that logic, the two of them must have arrived from Wangwu Mountain a long time ago. With such a large shipment of goods, having traveled thousands of miles, how could they possibly let it go so easily? They probably made ambushes for me along the way, and you are merely a pawn they planted.

They probably wanted to test my skills with you first, without needing to fight many rounds, just to see how much Qi I had left after fighting the Sword Sect for so many days. If there was any hidden injury, they probably would have intervened then and there. Unfortunately, you were really too useless, unable to withstand even a single sword strike, and you didn't prove anything at all.

Furthermore, my Northern Star Sword Qi did indeed intimidate them, making them realize that their protective immortal robes were no match for me. That's why they decided to turn from enemies to friends and form a bond with me.

Fen Yun listened, completely stunned.

"Is that so? I thought they were just lonely..."

Tie Dan sneered as he made a hand seal.

"Why run away when you're lonely? Shouldn't you be focusing on your cultivation instead of sleeping and eating?"

Unfortunately, my calculation skills are still lacking. I was blinded just now, and now that I think about it again, the more I calculate, the more wrong it seems.

Even though the disciples of Qingtang have a renowned reputation and consider forming relationships commonplace, based on my previous observations, most people in this sect are ruthless and cold-blooded, only acting when they see a tangible benefit. Without offering a plethora of rare and precious treasures, one cannot win their favor; why would they be so eager to offer themselves up?

Moreover, who would immediately unleash their entire life's power for dual cultivation with another person? Could it be that the head of a sect with three thousand years of cultivation does not know that internal energy cultivation is extremely dangerous, with the risk of going into demonic possession at any moment, and that one must be extremely cautious?
Therefore, it seems that they have ulterior motives and malicious intentions. Seeing that they are not confident of defeating me in a direct sword fight, they plan to use these despicable means to scheme against me.

They're just taking advantage of me, a mere martial artist and swordsman, who doesn't understand human relationships or the secrets of dual cultivation. If I lose control even slightly, become distracted, or make a mistake, this millennia-old true qi is enough to force me into a qi deviation, sever my meridians, and kill me invisibly.

Hehe, it's just a pity that despite their scheming, they didn't expect that my Qi cultivation foundation was solid and that I had some extraordinary encounters. They just couldn't figure me out for the time being.

Since this plan failed, and further cultivation would be futile, they naturally had to flee with their tails between their legs.

Burning Cloud was dumbfounded.

Tie Dan quickly calculated with his fingers and suddenly flicked his wrist, unleashing a sword aura that slashed out!
"Ouch!"

Fen Yun was shocked, thinking that this kid was going to kill him to silence him, and he was so scared that he almost peed himself.

But to everyone's surprise, with a loud thud, it was Tie Dan who cut the mast in half.

"You go."

"Eh, eh?"

Burning Cloud was completely dumbfounded.

Tie Dan ignored him and stood alone at the bow of the boat, steering the flying boat.

Fen Yun was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly picked up his leg, packed it away, and scrambled to his feet to escape. But after running halfway, he felt something was wrong and flew back, landing on the deck. He cautiously asked,

"Master, Sect Leader, please tell me... why did you release this old man...?"

Tie Dan glanced at him and didn't hide anything.

"What I just said was nothing more than speculation in my mind, judging others by myself, and had no factual basis."

So I'm going to let you go.

If they secretly turn back and kill you to silence you, it will prove that I was right.

"None of the members of the Demonic Sect are good people."
