A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

A misty steam filled the wooden house, and wisps of white smoke rose from the hot water in the wooden basin, making the walls slightly damp.

Qingyun stepped lightly in through the door, her skirt sweeping across the threshold and creating a gentle breeze. She had come to rub Chen Yang's back, but the moment she opened the door, her pupils contracted sharply, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

Inside the room was a gigantic treasure, pure white and radiating a rich spiritual aura. It was none other than the Dharma Image Tai Sui that had caused the Tianhai Sect and the Red Abyss Valley to be at each other's throats and fight to the death!

"This... how did this end up here?" Qingyun stared with her cherry-like mouth agape, her eyes filled with disbelief. It took her a long while to recover.

Hearing the noise, Chen Yang turned around, his cheeks instantly flushing slightly. Looking somewhat flustered, he quickly waved his hands and explained, "Senior sister, I just wanted to taste it, that's all!"

He secretly groaned, fearing that Qingyun would see through his true intentions—that he actually wanted to use this top-grade Tai Sui to replenish his depleted body.

Qingyun's gaze lingered on the Tai Sui for a moment before landing on Chen Yang, her tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Chen Yang, were you really planning to eat it just now?"

Chen Yang nodded subconsciously at first, then, as if remembering something, shook his head frantically: "No, no! I just wanted to taste it!"

"Don't do anything reckless!" Qingyun stepped forward hastily, her voice urgent. "This thing absolutely cannot be eaten directly! Although it's an extremely potent tonic, consuming it raw will cause severe poisoning. It must be refined into a pill! Otherwise, why would Red Abyss Valley keep such a treasure as a prized possession? The Golden Core realm elders of Red Abyss Valley would have been scrambling to consume it long ago—they've coveted this Tai Sui for years, but haven't found a safe way to consume it! You brat, one bite and you'll be poisoned to death!"

At this point, Qingyun seemed to suddenly realize something, her eyes widening with understanding. She stared into Chen Yang's eyes and asked, "Are you feeling too tired lately and want to use this to nourish your body?"

"No, no!" Chen Yang immediately waved his hands, his face practically shaking a rattle-drum. "Senior sister, you're overthinking it! I really just have a sweet tooth!"

With that, he waved his hand, storing the Dharma Image Tai Sui into his storage ring. He patted his chest, then stood up, displaying his imposing stature: "Look at my proud and imposing appearance, how can I look weak?"

Qingyun blushed slightly as she looked at his feigned toughness, then burst out laughing.

Like a gentle older sister, she slowly walked to Chen Yang's side, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and said in a tone full of doting: "I know, I know, you're the strongest, I'm not afraid at all~"

"Let me give you a bath. After you bathe, continue your cultivation. Tomorrow is the day we go to Dongyuan Kingdom to attend the ceremony." She changed the subject and said seriously, "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and you will go together. I came today mainly to inform you of this matter."

She paused, then added, "Actually, if you really feel unwell, I can bear it. We... don't need to do this every time."

"Senior sister, you still don't believe me!"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Chen Yang jumped up and hugged Qingyun tightly, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance and indignation: "I already told you I'm not weak, and I don't want to eat Tai Sui, I'm just greedy! Come on, let's start trying it now, I have to prove I'm healthy!"

"No, don't do this!" Qingyun quickly shook her head, her cheeks flushed. "Chen Yang, your health is important! I understand, actually. Every time I'm done with you, I feel refreshed and my strength even improves. I really didn't want to use this to replenish my energy. I just didn't expect it to be so taxing on a man, to the point that you're even thinking about it..."

Qingyun spoke with heartfelt sincerity, but Chen Yang became even more unconvinced, determined to prove himself. Without a word, he pulled Qingyun into a wooden tub filled with hot water, splashing water all over the floor.

The two shoved and jostled each other in the bucket. At first, Qingyun insisted on advising Chen Yang to take care of his health, but as their bodies came into contact, her resolve gradually weakened.

Her large, watery eyes looked at Chen Yang, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Chen Yang, you'd better think this through. My willpower is limited. If you keep tickling me like this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold back..."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister! I promise I'm not afraid at all!" Chen Yang gritted his teeth, his eyes resolute. "Bring it on!"

Seeing this, Qingyun put aside her last bit of concern and reached out to hug Chen Yang tightly.

An hour later, when most of the water in the wooden bucket had been spilled, the two finally stopped.

Chen Yang looked smugly at Qingyun beneath him, raising his chin: "Senior Sister, see? I told you I was right, didn't I? Aren't I strong?"

Qingyun half-closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with love, and whispered, "Chen Yang, you're so good to me, thank you~"

"Of course!" Chen Yang said, puffing out his chest. "You should say I'm really strong!"

"Yes, yes, you're the strongest, incredibly powerful, I can't handle you at all~" Qingyun quickly nodded in agreement.

She got up and kissed Chen Yang's forehead, saying as she dressed, "You should rest well from now on, I won't bother you anymore."

Reaching the door, she stopped and turned back, saying seriously, "By the way, there are over sixty people going to Dongyuan Kingdom tomorrow, all at least inner disciples. Once you get there, if you're not confident you can kill the Fifth and Sixth brothers alone, don't act rashly. Don't let the other disciples see through your disguise!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister!" Chen Yang gave an OK sign, confidently stating, "Leave this kind of small matter to me!"

Qingyun nodded: "Then I'll go to the Alchemy Peak. Goodbye."

Watching Qingyun's figure disappear through the door, Chen Yang's stubbornness vanished instantly, and he slumped into the wooden tub, letting out a long sigh of relief.

It was really exhilarating, but it was also really tiring!

"Damn it, I have to break through to the Divine Power Realm as soon as possible!" He gritted his teeth and took out two Nourishing Pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.

Mo Weihui's storage ring contained quite a few pills, but most of them were aphrodisiacs. There were very few pills that could truly replenish essence and marrow and nourish the body. Taking too many would only cause internal heat and make one weaker.

"Once I return from Dongyuan Kingdom, I must refine the Dharma Image Tai Sui into a restorative elixir!" Chen Yang thought to himself. After resting for a while, he ate something and went to bed.

Late at night, Chen Yang groggily opened his eyes and, by the moonlight from the window, discovered that Qingyun was standing in the room again.

He sat up abruptly, looking wary: "Senior Sister? What are you doing here again in the middle of the night?"

Thinking of the "fierce battle" during the day, he suddenly felt a little scared—this senior sister is too much of a troublemaker!

Are you still not satisfied?

Qingyun glared at him and said irritably, "Don't get the wrong idea! I'm not here to do that kind of thing!"

As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and tossed it to Chen Yang: "This is the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill that I got from an old friend on Alchemy Peak. You should take it to replenish your strength."

"I don't need it!" Chen Yang retorted instinctively.

"Don't think of me as so lewd. I'm a respectable and innocent female cultivator!" Qingyun blushed slightly, said this, and turned to leave. Even after she had gone quite a distance, a series of giggles could still be heard.

Holding the porcelain bottle, Chen Yang listened to the mocking laughter and sighed dejectedly.

It seems that no matter how he tries to prove it, Qingyun doesn't believe that he's not physically weak!

"Just you wait!" Chen Yang secretly vowed, "Once I break through to the Divine Power Realm, or refine the Tai Sui into a pill, I will definitely punish you, this woman who didn't believe me!"

However, he still unscrewed the porcelain bottle and swallowed two more Dragon Tiger Bone Strengthening Pills—it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, and it wouldn't hurt to replenish his strength.

The next morning, Chen Yang indeed felt refreshed and full of energy. He took the token given to him by Qingyun and headed towards the square in front of Tianhai Gate.

As soon as they arrived near the plaza, they heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from above. Looking up, they saw more than a dozen cultivators at the Divine Power Realm floating in the air, chatting happily. Among them were elders from the Heavenly Sea Sect and people from the Red Abyss Valley.

Chen Yang wondered to himself: Yesterday, these two parties were arguing fiercely over the matter of the Yu family, Mo Weihui, and Faxiang Taisui. How did they reconcile overnight?

Could it be that the misunderstanding has been cleared up?

impossible!

Only he and Yu Xinlian knew the whole story; misunderstandings are not so easy to resolve.

He suppressed his doubts and mingled with the crowd of inner disciples as he entered the plaza.

Dozens of inner disciples were already standing in the square. In the most central position were two men dressed in magnificent robes and armor. One was short and stout, and the other was tall and thin. Both wore the identity badges of the Talisman Peak and had extraordinary bearing.

Chen Yang recognized him at a glance—the short and stout one was his fifth senior brother, Wu Jingren, and the tall and thin one was his sixth senior brother, Peng Duozhi.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother."

Wu Jingren glanced at him sideways, his brows furrowing instantly, his tone filled with undisguised contempt: "You're Master's newly accepted ninth junior brother? I heard he took in a novice at the early Foundation Establishment stage as an inner disciple, and I thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true—what was that old guy thinking?"

The sixth senior brother chuckled, his tone sarcastic: "What else could you think? He must have received a bribe! These days, who would turn down spirit stones, magical treasures, and cultivation techniques?"

The two chuckled and turned away, ignoring Chen Yang as if even glancing at him would lower their status.

Chen Yang turned and left expressionlessly, too lazy to even feel angry.

Anyway, the two of them are about to become dead.

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd, and then a tall and beautiful woman dressed in a seven-colored immortal cultivation robe walked gracefully over, and the surrounding disciples all turned their heads to stare at her.

"It's Ma Xinran, the new inner disciple of the Weapon Refining Peak."

"She is indeed beautiful; no wonder so many senior brothers from the Weapon Refining Peak are vying for her attention."

"I heard that the male disciples on the Weapon Refining Peak have openly taken action against this woman."

Chen Yang also turned his head to look, and the next moment, a cold look appeared in his eyes. This woman was actually a green tea bitch, Ma Xinran!
