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

When Song Zhao grasped Dongfang Huaizhen's hand, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

She felt the inner demons raging wildly in her mind, and even her long-refined golden core was gradually losing control.

After more than three hundred years of drought, if it were to rain, it wouldn't be a light drizzle, but a torrential downpour.

"Get out of my way! If you help me, you'll really die!"

Dongfang Huaizhen shook off Song Zhao's hand and limped toward the Xuan Mansion.

The inner demon paralyzed half of her limbs, making movement extremely difficult.

She turned to Song Zhao and instructed him, "Just announce to the outside world that I am in seclusion, and don't say anything else."

"Sect Master, I truly want to help you."

Song Zhao quickly walked to Dongfang Huaizhen and hugged her from behind: "Sect Leader, you are a good person, I don't want to see you suffer from your inner demons!"

He learned of Dongfang Huaizhen's secret, but the other party did not intend to kill him; instead, he did not want to harm him.

This alone makes him superior to countless hypocrites who claim to be righteous.

Dongfang Huaizhen tried to pull Song Zhao away, but found that the other party held her tightly and refused to let go.

"Stop this! If you continue, I will expel you from the sect!"

"Is that all?"

Song Zhao's hands began to wander: "Sect Master, why did you sever your seven emotions and six desires?"

Dongfang Huaizhen's chest heaved: "Because there are no good men in the world; men only hinder my cultivation speed!"

"But what if I said I could speed up the sect leader's cultivation?" Song Zhao appealed to his emotions and reason: "Furthermore, this could also dispel inner demons."

"This is killing two birds with one stone; why wouldn't the sect leader be happy to do it?"

Dongfang Huaizhen suddenly burst into tears, his body going limp like a puddle of water, and sobbed, "But I can't bear to hurt you."

"Your inner demons will drain you alive!"

Song Zhao's attitude was very firm: "I'm not afraid."

"If it weren't for the Tianwu Sect giving me a chance to cultivate immortality, I'm afraid I would have died far from home long ago."

"This is a life-saving grace, which I will repay with utmost sincerity!"

"Mmm~~"

......

......

The sun and moon revolve.

In this sacred cave nestled between heaven and moon, plum blossoms fall softly, a phenomenon not unique to this season.

The once calm and mirror-like lake surface was now rippled with beautiful waves due to the falling plum blossoms.

Fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers.

The long night is finally over.

Within the spiritual cave and mystical palace, the interaction of the primordial yin and yang energies within Song Zhao's body reached an extremely unbalanced state.

He has too much yin energy in his body, to the point that the ratio of yin energy to yang energy is one hundred to one!

If this continues, he will die on the spot due to insufficient yang energy.

Fortunately, the sun was rising at this moment, and under the operation of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Technique, wisps of the sun's essence from the east converged into Song Zhao's body, continuously replenishing his yang energy.

Even so, Song Zhao's face was still withered, his complexion was sallow, and his eyes were dark, as if he had been drained of his vitality by a female ghost for three hundred rounds!

In contrast, Dongfang Huaizhen, with abundant yang energy within her body, had firmly suppressed her inner demons, resulting in a fair complexion, rosy cheeks, and bright, sparkling eyes.

"They're still alive..."

She squeezed Song Zhao's withered body to make sure he was still alive, and thought to herself, "This is unbelievable."

"After what happened last night, even a strong ox would have been exhausted to death. How could he be so amazing?"

Thinking of this, Dongfang Huaizhenye dared not delay any longer and took out a pill from her storage ring.

"This is the True Yang Elixir; take it quickly."

However, Song Zhao made no move.

A short while later.

Dongfang Huaizhen then realized that the other party had been in a state before a breakthrough for a long time.

However, she did not sense any signs that she was about to break through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

She closed her eyes, shielding her senses, and only then did she realize that Song Zhao was like a large egg of qi and blood, with yin and yang energies flickering on it.

"What kind of technique is this?"

She was both shocked and horrified to discover that the yang energy in the large egg formed from Song Zhao's blood and qi was clearly running low.

If this continues, that large egg of vital energy and blood will probably be squeezed and burst by the violent yin energy!

"He desperately needs yang energy!"

Dongfang Huaizhen hurriedly pried open Song Zhao's mouth with his fingers, wanting to put the True Yang Rejuvenating Pill into his mouth.

But they found that Song Zhao's mouth just wouldn't swallow; it would go in and then spit it out, go in and then spit it out again...

Unable to think of a solution, Dongfang Huaizhen closed her long, clear phoenix eyes and made a decision: "Forget it, it's not like I haven't been taken advantage of by him before..."

With the True Yang Restoration Pill in her mouth, she aimed it at Song Zhao's lips and channeled the pill's medicinal power into him...

Her fragrant lips were adorned with rouge, and her sweet scent filled the air.

With the True Yang Rejuvenating Pill, a golden pill of high quality, and the effect of the sun's essence, the yin and yang of the Qi and blood on the large egg gradually became balanced.

The large egg seems to breathe, constantly absorbing yin and yang energies while expelling waste and turbid gases from the body.

Half an hour passed.

Several patterns lit up on the surface of the large egg, but even the well-read Dongfang Huaizhen did not recognize any of them.

In her perception, Song Zhao's blood and body were undergoing a transformation!

"It must be a breakthrough in his body-refining technique," Dongfang Huaizhen guessed, yet he secretly wondered, "Is this person truly a useless spiritual root?"

"He understands the methods of the soul, has cultivated body-refining techniques, and also knows swordsmanship. His knowledge is a bit too eclectic..."

Another half hour passed.

Song Zhao's Qi and Blood Egg was already covered with patterns. When these patterns lit up one by one, his Qi and Blood were so powerful that they produced intermittent popping sounds with the air!

Bang!

Suddenly, Song Zhao opened his eyes, and his powerful blood energy surged outwards, causing the entire Xuan Mansion to tremble.

Even Dongfang Huaizhen, who was preparing to put on his clothes, had his sleeves fluttering due to this aura...

All the plum blossoms on the plum trees in the Xuan Mansion courtyard had fallen, not a single one remained.

Fortunately, they had become sentient beings, and while grumbling, they grew beautiful plum blossoms again.

"He has reached the second level of the Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Body, and he's already at the mid-stage."

Song Zhao clenched his fist and found that the force was frighteningly strong; it could probably squeeze water out of a stone with one squeeze.

"With my current combat strength, I could easily kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator in close combat using only my physical strength!"

"Those are Foundation Establishment cultivators from Xuanzhou. If you were to encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Innate Demonic Sect, you'd be in serious trouble," the witch whispered in his ear. "But you wouldn't die."

Song Zhao knew this clearly.

The demonic cultivator who killed Zhang Xing was skilled in soul-based attacks. Now that his Dao body has broken through and his physique is more stable, his soul will naturally be better protected by his physical body.

In the midst of his joy, Dongfang Huaizhen appeared quietly: "What did you say about doing this for my own good?"

"I bet you have plenty of good points yourself, don't you? You're smiling so happily."

Song Zhao laughed heartily: "To be able to share a kiss with such a peerless beauty as the Sect Leader, this disciple is naturally overjoyed!"

"Ha, glib talker." Dongfang Huaizhen didn't say anything more, only saying, "Get out."

Well, another one who promotes skirts without considering personal relationships.

After nodding in greeting, Song Zhao prepared to leave.

"What a scoundrel! I told you to leave, and you just walk away?"

Dongfang Huaizhen's expression was clearly displeased. She raised her slender little foot and said, "I was too tired last night. Massage my legs for me."
