["Thump!"]

After a moment of deathly silence, a second giant palm of spiritual energy materialized above your head, followed by a clear thud of a knee hitting the ground.

【"Splash~ Splash~!"】

The sound spread rapidly, like a plague, until only two figures remained standing in the cave.

[“Senior, spare us! We were forced by our boss—oops! We were forced by that damned bastard!”]

【"Yeah yeah!"】

Your gaze swept casually over the group, finally settling on Han Xuan, who was still standing there in a daze, and a bright smile appeared on your face.

"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

"Heh...hehe...thank you for your concern, senior. I'm doing well."

Han Xuan's voice was somewhat hoarse; the captivating beauty he had just possessed was now completely unappealing.

[Coward!]

You secretly pursed your lips, and without wasting any more time, you said directly:

"Tell me, how can we make the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus mature as quickly as possible?"

"Soul Crystals; with enough Soul Crystals, it can be forcibly accelerated to maturity."

Under the terrifying pressure of that gigantic palm of spiritual energy, Han Xuan dared not conceal anything and willingly handed over a jade slip.

[After you took the jade slip and probed it with your divine sense, your gaze towards Han Xuan gradually became subtle.]

The secret technique recorded in the jade slip is called the "Soul-Merging and Primordial Transcending Technique," which requires the combined efforts of two people, specifically a male and a female cultivator.

The jade slip also records that the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus must be refined in the place of one's birth.

Was this intentional?

You gave Han Xuan a deep look, then silently put away the jade slip and turned your gaze back to the kneeling cultivators.

"I can give you a chance to live."

The cultivator kneeling at the very front suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes:

"Please speak, senior! We will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"There's no need for that."

You raised your hand, a black rune forming at your fingertips, and gently flicked it into his brow.

【"ah!"】

The next moment, he clutched his head tightly with both hands, curled up on the ground, and rolled and struggled frantically.

The other cultivators retreated hastily, their faces filled with horror, but none dared to flee.

A moment later, the man collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with terror.

"This is a soul imprint; you will understand its effects once you experience it."

You paused, your gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Of course, if you bring me enough soul crystals, I swear I will spare your lives."

Is this really true?

Among the cultivators who had initially retreated in fear, some immediately stepped forward with excited expressions.

[Is there still a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation?]

【"nature."】

You nodded slightly, your eyes sincere.

"Okay! I'm willing to accept the soul imprint!"

The person who spoke had a resolute expression; he was clearly a tough guy.

[You then followed the same method, condensing a soul imprint and sending it into his sea of ​​consciousness.]

【"ah!!!"】

This time, the screams were even louder...

[Next, you and Han Xuan formed a duo of murderers and Robin Hood-like figures, taking cunning to the extreme and sweeping across almost the entire Yin Spirit Land.]

[As for why it's "almost"?]

Because those Nascent Soul stage monsters are not within your scope of consideration.

Although Gu Wudao still has two attacks sealed in your sea of ​​consciousness, you still feel a little apprehensive when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if their cultivation level has dropped to the Golden Core stage.

[A Nascent Soul True Monarch lives for three thousand years; who knows what terrifying trump cards they might possess?]

Most importantly, killing them wouldn't do any good, since everyone's physical bodies are still in the City of Chaos.

After several hours of efficient harvesting, coupled with the desperate contributions of those cannon fodder, the soul light surrounding the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus grew increasingly intense.

Ripples spread across the water's surface, and increasingly pure spiritual energy slowly emanated from the lotus's heart.

You stand by the icy pond, your gaze fixed intently on that lotus flower.

The first eight lotus leaves have fully bloomed; four are silvery-white, and four are pure black, clearly distinguishing between light and shadow, yet blending seamlessly into one.

[After you added dozens more soul crystals, a deep hum emanated from the depths of the lotus, and the entire icy pool began to tremble violently.]

The last new blue lotus leaf finally began to unfurl slowly.

The silver-white and pure black lotus leaves suddenly contracted, absorbed entirely into the lotus heart, transforming into a fist-sized ball of blue light that hovered directly above the blue lotus leaves.

The Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus has finally matured.

A pure and unparalleled spiritual energy spread throughout the cave. After a moment of stunned silence, your expression immediately returned to clarity.

[Then your gaze swept over the other cultivators, whose eyes were burning with fervor, and you sneered inwardly.]

【"Bang!"】

[One of them had his head explode without warning, his entire body instantly turning into tiny fragments of spiritual light.]

"Oh no, she's going to kill us to cover it up!"

Someone let out a roar, turned, and fled frantically towards the cave exit.

[A cultivator's return to the surface world is subject to a brief delay; if interrupted, their soul will be completely annihilated. This is why they dare not return to their physical bodies directly in front of you.]

[Bang bang bang~]

Without even lifting your eyelids, a slight twitch of your fingertips caused a series of muffled explosions to erupt in quick succession.

In the blink of an eye, only you and Han Xuan remained in the cave.

Seeing his calm expression, you raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Don't you think I'm cruel, fellow Daoist?"

"The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens; having chosen this path, one must naturally be prepared to perish."

Han Xuan's eyes didn't dodge; he met your gaze directly and frankly.

[Quite the show-off!]

[This kid must have guessed why you kept him here. The reason he didn't run away is probably not just because he's afraid of your methods.]

His covetousness for the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus is no less than yours.

"Fellow Daoist, if I were to change my mind now and wish to have someone else refine you with me, what would that be like?"

A hint of amusement flashed in your eyes as you looked at him with a half-smile.

"Han accepted his defeat wholeheartedly."

[Han Xuan's unruly demeanor makes you wonder if he's changed his ways.]

But the next moment, you heard him say:

"Of course, I only gave you the Yin scroll portion of that secret technique, senior. As for the Yang scroll, I'm afraid you'll need to put in some effort to find it."

【Yes, that's right.】

You chuckled softly, your figure suddenly appearing before him, your slender finger gently touching his heart.

"Hehe~ I couldn't ask for more than the chance to cultivate alongside such a handsome fellow Daoist~"

[Witch!]

[Struck by the sudden, stunning beauty, Han Xuan's breath caught in his throat, and his heart raced...]
