Holy Maiden, wait a minute. Why are you asking me to cultivate again?

"Please wait, sister. I would like Song Zhao to escort me back to the palace. There are some things we need to discuss."

When she reached the foot of Tianwu Peak, Su Fangyue forced herself to stay awake, her cherry lips slowly losing their color.

Although Lin Shuangwan was somewhat reluctant for Su Fangyue and Song Zhao to be alone, the other party had indeed helped her and Song Zhao resolve a crisis just now, so she nodded.

"Take me back to the palace, quickly!"

"it is good."

Song Zhao picked up Su Fangyue, and a flying sword from his sleeve shot out with a whoosh, then steadily carried the two of them towards the summit.

"I didn't know you could use flying sword techniques..."

Su Fangyue's face was ashen, and her beautiful body slumped against Song Zhao: "In a moment, take off my clothes and put me into the Jade Cold Pool."

Without asking any further questions, Song Zhao focused all his energy on driving his flying sword to the palace. He quickly walked to the Jade Cold Pool and began to undress the baby in his arms.

He then noticed that Su Fangyue's delicate skin had many dark red lines.

"Was it Xu Sanshan who did it?!"

Su Fangyue coughed and asked, "You know him?"

"Did you really kill Zhou Huanshan's Demon-Slaying Division?"

Song Zhao removed the last of Su Fangyue's clothes and placed her in the Jade Cold Pool: "That's right."

"Killed them, so be it. Just be careful of them in the future."

"The Crescent Moon Dynasty is a force to be reckoned with; it is said that there is a Nascent Soul True Lord among the royal family's offerings."

Su Fangyue remained frozen in the Jade Cold Pool, unable to mobilize the spiritual energy within.

"Come down and help me with my cultivation; I can't move."

Song Zhao, looking anxious, also stripped naked and went into the sewer: "Is Xu Sanshan that powerful?"

"Not that powerful, just an old Foundation Establishment cultivator whose cultivation method is somewhat effective against me."

"However, he's not much better off; he won't recover properly without at least ten days to two weeks of rest."

Su Fangyue frowned slightly, and with Song Zhao's help, she circulated her internal energy to slowly heal her injuries.

"What is the cultivation level of the Demon-Slaying General of Xuanzhou?"

Song Zhao gently mobilized the spiritual energy in the Jade Cold Pool from behind and asked in a slow voice.

Su Fangyue's almond-shaped eyes were tightly closed, her eyelids trembling: "At least at the Golden Core cultivation level."

Golden Core...

The person with the spiritual bone is so powerful, cultivating to the Golden Core stage in just sixty years...

Bai Chenyin is now someone I need to look up to.

Half an hour later.

"Alright, go back and rest for a while. Once you've recovered your strength, come to the palace and continue to assist me in my cultivation..."

After dispelling most of the dark red markings in her body, Su Fangyue blushed and gently bit Song Zhao: "Remember, recover quickly, don't let other fox spirits drain your essence and prevent you from recovering your vital energy."

With such a great opportunity for cultivation right in front of her, she was truly reluctant to let Song Zhao leave.

But to practice with Song Zhao, who is already severely weakened, would be no different from draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Song Zhao said "I understand" and left the palace.

The other party's warning was clear: they wanted him to stay away from messing around with Lin Shuangwan.

Back at the Grand Elder's residence, Lin Shuangwan was waiting for him.

"Is the saintess injured?"

Song Zhao remained noncommittal, changing the subject: "Fairy Lin, has your strange illness flared up recently?"

Lin Shuangwan blushed: "It hasn't flared up since we came back from the mission."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"

"It's nothing. I think it's getting late. Why don't you go home and rest?" Song Zhao glanced at the night outside the window.

"Hmph! You stinky man, I came here out of kindness to take care of you, and you're already trying to kick me out?"

Lin Shuangwan puffed out her cheeks and sat down on the bed with her buttocks: "You are greatly weakened, and the Holy Maiden Sister is not here, so I will stay here tonight to take care of you."

"Um...is it just simple care?" Song Zhao was a little skeptical of the truthfulness of Lin Shuangwan's words.

He had personally experienced the power of the other party after their demonic transformation; at that level, they were stronger than two Su Fangyues combined.

If it weren't for the Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Body, he wouldn't be a match for her at all!

However, he had never experienced the other party's transformation before they became demonic.

"No, no, cultivating vital energy is the most important thing."

Song Zhao cleared his mind of all distractions and went to the quiet room in the courtyard to meditate and cultivate.

Lin Shuangwan found it strange, but she still followed him and meditated with him.

"If I had been at the peak of Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment at that time, I wouldn't have had such a hard time dealing with that Blood Demon Cult's demonic cultivator."

While inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Song Zhao pondered silently.

He felt it was time to strive for the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Currently, the Heavenly Demon Pearl has two demonic runes, but it doesn't contain any cultivation pills.

As for pills, you can buy them within the sect. For example, the Azure Spirit Pill, which is used for breakthroughs, costs 150 spirit stones per pill within the sect. It is more expensive than outside, but the quality is guaranteed.

"Okay, let's recover first, and then we'll go buy a batch of Qingling Pills."

As Song Zhao pondered this, he gradually entered a state of deep concentration, and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered around him, forming a small spiritual mist between his mouth and nose.

"Huh? What's that?"

Lin Shuangwan, who was not yet in meditation, was very curious. She had never seen spiritual mist before and assumed it was a problem with her cultivation technique.

Late at night, seeing that Song Zhao was really focused on his cultivation, Lin Shuangwan simply went to sleep in the quiet room.

She was restless and unable to concentrate, so she decided to take a long nap to recharge.

The sun rose the next day.

Song Zhao slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to find that his vital energy had been almost fully restored, and his temporarily blinded Golden Core Eye could see things clearly again.

"That's strange. Yesterday, the Holy Maiden said that I was severely weakened and would need at least four or five days to recover."

"It only took about a day before I felt much better."

He got up, channeled his magic power, and practiced his moves. He found that his blood and qi flowed smoothly, and his magic power circulated slowly throughout his body without any stagnation.

The noise startled Lin Shuangwan awake from her sleep.

"Wow, it seems you weren't seriously injured. Why did you lie to me last night?"

Song Zhao asked, puzzled, "Lie to you? Fairy Lin, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Still denying it? Yesterday you pretended to be badly injured, barely able to get out of bed, and today you're even boxing. You're not lying to me, are you?"

Lin Shuangwan looked resentful: "How could you leave me all alone to keep watch over you last night?"

"Now, I want you to make it up to me!"

She pressed closer and closer, getting within inches of Song Zhao, almost touching him.

What kind of compensation do you want?

Before Song Zhao could finish speaking, the other person's small hand had already placed on his belt.

The compensation they want is self-evident.

"No, Fairy Lin, my energy hasn't fully recovered yet, this isn't suitable."

"You're still lying to me! You're clearly better!"

Lin Shuangwan untied Song Zhao's belt, then bent down...

......

It was noon.

Song Zhao was kicked out of the quiet room by Lin Shuangwan.

The reason is that she is about to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and if Song Zhao is inside, it will affect her breakthrough.

"Is it really that bad...? They're all such wicked women who won't even acknowledge you once they've lifted their skirts..."

Song Zhao tightened his clothes, intending to go inside the sect to buy Qingling Pills in preparation for breaking through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

As they reached the courtyard gate, Zhou Zhaoxi, a disciple of the secret cultivation sect, waved his hand and said, "Junior Brother Song, I heard you killed several Blood Demon Cult members! Hahaha, that's truly gratifying!"

"Brother Zhou?"

Just as Song Zhao was about to say something, Zhou Zhaoxi walked over mysteriously.
