The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

When Shen Yifei arrived at the main hall of the Hehuan Sect, Su Wuwang was leaning back in her chair drinking tea. She still looked as languid as ever, her long dress trailing on the ground, her hair casually tied in a bun.

Upon seeing Shen Yifei enter, Su Wuwang put down his teacup. "Oh, the esteemed Sect Master of Qingyun Sect has graced us with his presence. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

"Sect Master, please don't make fun of me."

"I wasn't making fun of you." Su Wuwang stood up and walked around him. "Early Nascent Soul stage, and you've become the leader of a sect. You've gotten too big for your britches."

"No matter how tough he is, he is still your disciple."

"Don't give me that." Su Wuwang sat back down in his chair. "Speak, what did you come here for?"

"Sect Master, is there anything else I need to see you about? I just want to have a chat with you, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect."

"You came all this way just to sleep with me?"

"Sect Master, that's a very harsh way to put it. That's called dual cultivation."

"Isn't dual cultivation just sleeping?"

"That's different. Dual cultivation is cultivation, while sleeping is sleeping. Although the positions are similar, the purposes are different."

Su Wuwang put down his teacup. "Have you been having too much free time lately?"

"I'm very busy. But no matter how busy I am, I still have to come and see the sect leader. You are my mentor, and without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Stop flattering me. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Shen Yifei walked over to Su Wuwang and plopped down on the armrest of her chair.

Su Wuwang glanced at him. "You're getting bolder and bolder."

"Of course I'm bold in front of my woman."

"Who is your woman?"

"Sect Master, we've already practiced dual cultivation, you wouldn't deny it, would you?"

Su Wuwang reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist. "Say that again?"

Shen Yifei gasped in pain, "Sect Master, please be gentle. I am now the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect. It wouldn't look good if people saw me like this."

"When you said that just now, why didn't you think your face looked bad?"

"That's different. We can say whatever we want behind closed doors. But once we step outside, I'll still be your disciple, and you'll still be my sect master."

Su Wuwang released his grip. "You're smart to know what's good for you."

Shen Yifei rubbed his lower back. "Sect Master, I have something serious to tell you."

"explain."

"I want to merge the Hehuan Sect and the Qingyun Sect."

Su Wuwang stared at him for three breaths, "You...you're crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. Think about it, with the Hehuan Sect and the Qingyun Sect combined, our strength will double. I'll be the Grand Sect Master, and you'll be the Second Sect Master. You can still lie around drinking tea every day and not have to do anything. Isn't that great?"

"Why should you be the Grand Master?"

"Because I'm your man."

Joking aside, Shen Yifei recounted what had happened at the Qingyun Sect during this period.

As Su Wuwang listened, his mind began to wander.

The man before me has come all the way from the outer sect of the Hehuan Sect, and in such a short time, his cultivation is about to catch up with mine.

Such people are rare in the world.

Is he the kind of person with great fortune?

If such a person succeeds, he will surely be a world-changing figure, and following him will bring great opportunities to oneself.

Having figured this out, Su Wuwang nodded, "I'll listen to you, the Hehuan Sect and the Qingyun Sect will merge!"

No sooner had Su Wuwang finished speaking than Shen Yifei pulled her up from the chair and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What are you doing?"

"celebrate."

"What are you celebrating in broad daylight?"

"To celebrate the merger of the Hehuan Sect and the Qingyun Sect, such a momentous event must be addressed by our merger as well!"

Su Wuwang struggled against his embrace but couldn't break free. She now realized that this young man was incredibly strong; his physical body, at the early Nascent Soul stage, was far superior to that of other cultivators at the same level. She, at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, was finding it difficult to breathe while he held her.

"Let go, let people see."

"There's no one in your bedchamber."

Shen Yifei picked her up and carried her towards the bedchamber. Su Wuwang made a symbolic struggle twice, then stopped moving.

Upon entering the bedroom, before the door was even fully closed, Shen Yifei pressed her against the door panel.

Su Wuwang, with his back against the door, looked up at him and said, "You've really gotten bolder now. Last time you were like a quail."

"Last time is last time. This time I'm here with a mission to merge two sects."

"So, merging them means going to bed together?"

"A merger that doesn't involve sexual intercourse isn't a merger!"

Shen Yifei reached out and tugged, and Su Wuwang's clothes belt broke.

Suddenly, Su Wuwang's eyes widened, then slowly closed.

The pure Yin energy of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm surged from her dantian and poured into Shen Yifei's body, which Shen Yifei gladly accepted.

Back in the Ten Thousand Mountains, neither Bai Lu nor Leng Shanyue's demonic power could do anything to him, so Su Wuwang's pure Yin energy alone is even less of a threat.

Shen Yifei's dark golden spiritual energy enveloped the pure yin energy, circulated within the two of them, and then returned to Su Wuwang's dantian.

Su Wuwang trembled all over.

This spiritual energy was more than twice as pure as before. It enveloped her pure Yin energy and circulated around, bringing out a lot of the cold and impurities that had accumulated in her dantian for hundreds of years.

Su Wuwang let out a muffled groan, "What... what's wrong with your spiritual energy?"

"It's upgraded. I spent a few more days in the Hundred Thousand Mountains with two demon kings, and the quality has improved."

"Two demon kings?"

"From the Mahayana period."

Su Wuwang remained silent.

She closed her eyes, feeling the spiritual energy circulating within her body. Shen Yifei's spiritual energy had indeed changed; it used to be warm, but now it was scalding hot, like a red-hot iron chain coursing through her meridians.

But the heat wasn't uncomfortable; in fact, it felt quite pleasant.

The pure Yin energy was enveloped by the scalding spiritual energy and gradually dissolved. The cold and impurities that had accumulated in her dantian for hundreds of years were brought out and expelled along her meridians.

A layer of black sweat appeared on Su Wuwang's skin.

"Are you detoxing?" Shen Yifei glanced down at him.

Su Wuwang blushed; the layer of black sweat made him look like he had crawled out of a coal mine.

Shen Yifei reached out and wiped it, then smelled it. "You stink!"

Su Wuwang was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but he couldn't even lift his hand.

Su Wuwang was sweating more and more black sweat.

"Stop...stop...I'm going to take a shower first."

Shen Yifei pretended not to hear, and Su Wuwang's body became increasingly covered in impurities.

"You...you fucking did this on purpose?"

"What do you mean, intentional??"

"You're deliberately trying to embarrass me."

"No," Shen Yifei said innocently, "who knew you had so many impurities in your body."

Su Wuwang wanted to curse, but he simply didn't have the strength.

She closed her eyes, sensing the changes within her body. Much of the impurities in her meridians had been expelled, and her spiritual energy flowed several times smoother than before. The bottleneck of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm had loosened further, leaving her only one step away from the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

"If I try again, I should be able to break through," Su Wuwang whispered.

Shen Yifei looked at her, her body covered in sweat, and asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"

"I'm not washing anymore!"

This time, Su Wuwang didn't curse. He closed his eyes and focused on guiding the spiritual energy to circulate within his body.

Shen Yifei's yang energy enveloped her pure yin energy, circulating within their bodies again and again.

Impurities continued to be expelled from Su Wuwang's body, and black sweat seeped out layer by layer.

Shen Yifei didn't mind and just went about his business.

An hour later, Su Wuwang shuddered.

The bottleneck of the late stage of Nascent Soul was completely broken, and a powerful spiritual energy surged out of her body, causing the entire palace to shake.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect knelt down again.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your breakthrough!"
