Seeking immortality begins with daily intelligence reports.

"What's going on? Why did my Yin-Sealing Technique fail?"

After being tossed and turned several times, Yunyan's consciousness had become extremely confused.

Despite being the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect and the personal disciple of its leader, the number of male cultivators she had sexually exploited was countless.

But in matters of love and sex, she was no different from any other young virgin.

It wasn't that she didn't understand, but rather that her special constitution, the Yin-Yang Fragrant Body, gave her primordial yin energy a powerful effect in assisting cultivators to break through to higher realms.

Therefore, after being discovered by her master, Yunyan was taught the Yin Sealing Technique to protect her.

But now, this once-in-a-lifetime primordial yin essence has been hastily given to a rogue cultivator, leaving Yun Yan extremely frustrated.

As the downpour subsided, her beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions as she gazed at the unchanging gray sky.

After a long silence, she roughly understood the reason. Although she felt somewhat angry, she felt mostly relieved.

With disheveled hair and a weakened body, Yun Yan turned her head to look at the Yin-stealing disciple lying beside her:

"With four spiritual roots, to be able to cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining at such a young age, it seems you have grasped a great opportunity. However, if my master finds out about this, I wonder if you can withstand his wrath."

After saying this, Yun Yan forced herself to straighten up, put on her clothes that were on the ground, and casually found a large rock to sit cross-legged and recover.

Although Li Shen had his eyes closed, he heard Yun Yan's words clearly.

"Since Yun Yan is the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, her master must also be a great figure in the sect, with a cultivation level of at least Golden Core, or even a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although she has successfully established her foundation, this matter is quite troublesome."

As his thoughts raced, Li Shen came up with two or three ways to deal with the situation, and then suppressed the idea.

Looking inward, the originally dense Qi Sea in the dantian has now transformed into a liquid spiritual energy vortex, slowly rotating and emitting an aura several times more powerful than that of the Qi Refining stage.

Although the spiritual root is still the same four spiritual roots, the speed and quality of the spiritual power circulation are now incomparable to what they were before.

The meridians that had been cleansed by spiritual energy gradually recovered, and seemed to be much thicker than before.

He wanted to investigate the other changes more closely, but suddenly an irresistible drowsiness swept over him, and his consciousness became blurred.

After failing to hold on, Li Shen fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he had recovered considerably.

Li Shen propped himself up and realized he was still naked. He quickly grabbed the clothes on the ground and dressed himself.

He subconsciously scanned his surroundings but did not find Yun Yan.

"Has that witch left?"

Just as Li Sheng was beginning to have doubts, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away:

"You're awake, come over here."

Li Shen turned his head and saw the enchanting back of the demoness, while the two female cultivators who were with her were lying at his feet.

The air still held a faint scent of the ruptured scrotum. In the moment of Li Shen's daze, his previous experiences flashed through his mind.

His cheeks flushed slightly, but he quickly suppressed these thoughts and regained his normal expression.

After taking a Mind-Concentrating Pill and a Qi-Recovering Pill to stabilize his mind and cultivation level, Li Shen walked over.

"How does it feel to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Yun Yan turned her head and teased with a smile.

A flash of blue light flickered in Li Shen's eyes, his expression showing considerable surprise:

"How come this demoness's cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining?!"

After a moment of silence, he didn't voice his question, but instead replied calmly:

"Not bad."

Yun Yan snorted softly upon hearing this, and continued:

"Thanks to you, my cultivation has plummeted, and I'm now only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Fellow Daoist Luo, we'll have to rely on you when we get to Suspended Mountain."

As soon as Yun Yan finished speaking, although her face remained calm, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

What I said just now was to test the other party's attitude. After all, although he was the one who benefited, he was the one who provoked it.

Within the suspended mountain, there is something she is determined to obtain, and she will not give up easily until she gets it.

However, even if the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of her turns against her because of this, she has a way to recover quickly.

However, whether to implement it is still under consideration.

"Fellow Daoist Yun."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shen spoke, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger:

"That's not true. This is not my fault. If you hadn't tried to take my essence, how could this have happened?"

After saying that, Li Shen's gaze turned cold, revealing a hint of killing intent.

Yun Yan's heart tightened, but her face remained calm.

"Is Fellow Daoist Luo going to abandon me after I've served my purpose?"

She gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, not moving away despite the murderous intent, but instead taking a few steps closer:

"Although I made the first move, Fellow Daoist's Foundation Establishment realm is a real benefit. Although I don't know what's so strange about that pill, my primordial yin has the effect of helping cultivators break through major realms. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist's four spiritual roots would probably not have been so successful."

Li Shen didn't respond; he couldn't deny that what the other person said was correct.

He had attempted a breakthrough once before while he was in the cave.

The result was unsatisfactory.

Therefore, even though he successfully established his foundation using the Primordial Yin Foundation Building Technique, Li Shen did not attribute the greatest credit to the Yuanhe Pill.

During the process, he could vaguely feel a gentle force relieving the pain.

"So it was due to her constitution."

Li Shen suddenly understood, and then he heard Yun Yan say:

"Fellow Daoist Luo, there's something I need to make clear to you. My Yin-Sealing Technique was taught to me by my master. If you break this technique, my master will immediately notice you once you leave this secret realm. At that time, guess what my master will do to you?"

Yun Yan spoke softly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

Li Shen's gaze narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, are you threatening me?"

"How dare I? Fellow Daoist's killing intent is genuine."

Yun Yan shook her head slightly, and the corners of her lips lifted:

"I am merely stating the facts. Fellow Daoist Luo is a wise man and should understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. This matter is easy to resolve. As long as you calm down and help me get what I want, I will naturally tell you the method."

She paused here, her voice softening slightly:

"Fellow Daoist, you are so devoted to cultivation, you probably don't want to stay in this secret realm for the rest of your life, do you?"

Li Shen looked at her with a deep gaze.

Even though he felt that there must be some falsehood in what the demoness said, he really didn't dare to gamble.

After a moment's consideration, Li Shen nodded:

"Alright, let's join forces for now. But let me make this clear: if you try anything funny again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, what are you saying? With my current cultivation level, how could I dare to lay a hand on you?"

Yun Yan covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with a genuine air of pitifulness.

Li Shen remained unmoved, looked at the two female cultivators at Yun Yan's feet, and asked:

Did they see what happened?
