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

Shen Yifei vaguely heard Xinghe say the words "dual cultivation." Although his consciousness was scattered, he still instinctively felt that this matter was reliable. He wanted to raise both hands in agreement, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Ye Ling stood to the side, frowning as she looked at Shen Yifei, then at Xing He who was pacing anxiously, and coldly asked, "What is this 'dual cultivation' nonsense?"

Xinghe blushed and stammered, "It's...it's just that two people...you know...using a special technique...to heal each other..."

"What kind of technique is it? Is it difficult to learn? Is it too late for me to learn it now?"

Upon hearing this, even Mo Ran was surprised. She, who had never experienced such things, knew what dual cultivation was all about, yet a great demon who had lived for ten thousand years, the Demon God of War, did not know about dual cultivation.

She tightened her grip on Shen Yifei's arms, thinking to herself, "If only I had that demon's special aura..."

"Dual cultivation is simply the union of a man and a woman! Xinghe said your auras are similar, so there's no need to use any cultivation techniques!"

Liu Mengli felt a little awkward. At Shen Yifei's critical moment, she was of no use at all.

I finally heard about dual cultivation, and I'm quite good at this area, but a stranger beat me to it.

This stranger is not only a ruthless killer, but also a complete idiot!

"Intercourse?" Ye Ling tilted her head, her cold, beautiful eyes filled with confusion. "And what kind of technique is that?"

Liu Mengli was utterly speechless. She held her forehead, feeling like she was talking to a mortal who had lived for ten thousand years. It was like casting pearls before swine.

She gritted her teeth and said bluntly, "It's what men and women do in bed! You should understand that, right? If you still don't, let's demonstrate right now, and I'll teach you!"

Ye Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded expressionlessly. "I understand. You're talking about procreation. The demons call it 'fusion,' and the demon royal family calls it 'bloodline intercourse.' You humans call it 'dual cultivation'?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I mean!" Liu Mengli nodded frantically. "Xinghe means that the special aura you have is very similar to the master's! As long as you...you two combine, you can activate the life force within him!"

"You mean, you want me to have offspring with this kid?"

"It's not about procreation, it's about healing! Healing! Save him first, we'll talk about the rest later!" Liu Mengli didn't know how to express herself.

"Have you...have you discussed this? Young Master Shen is almost dead!" Mo Ran asked anxiously, touching Shen Yifei's nose.

Upon hearing Mo Ran say that Shen Yifei was almost dead, Liu Mengli disregarded her jealousy and grabbed Ye Ling's arm: "There's no time to hesitate! If you don't save him now, he'll really be dead!"

Ye Ling looked down at Shen Yifei lying in Mo Ran's arms; his lips had turned purple. "Let's find a place!"

"Huh?" Liu Mengli was taken aback.

"What?! I can't possibly merge with him in a place like this, can I?"

Looking around, Liu Mengli saw corpses and pieces scattered everywhere, with pools of blood. This place was indeed not suitable for dual cultivation.

There wasn't a single intact house in the entire fortress. Liu Mengli looked at Ye Ling, "Where do you think would be a good place to go?"

"Back to the cave!"

"Oh, is it too late?"

"There's still time. He can hold on for a few more hours!"

After the women returned to the Cauldron of All Things, Ye Ling first channeled some demonic energy into Shen Yifei's dantian to keep him alive, and then picked him up and flew back to the cave they had come from.

Ye Ling carried Shen Yifei and ran back to the cave at a speed several times faster than when she came.

Lin Ruonan and the other women waited anxiously in the cave when suddenly a blood-red figure rushed in through the entrance, startling them so much that they all drew their swords.

"It's me." Ye Ling put Shen Yifei down on the ground and called out to Lin Ruonan, "All of you go out and guard the cave entrance. No one is allowed to come in!"

When Lin Ruonan saw Shen Yifei's appearance—his face was deathly pale, his lips were purple, and he was barely breathing—her heart skipped a beat. But she didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly told the other women to leave the cave.

Ye Ling laid Shen Yifei flat on the dry grass, checked his breathing and pulse, and couldn't help but sigh, "Boy, you saved my life, I can't watch you die."

Ye Ling reached out and unbuttoned Shen Yifei's clothes.

She had some understanding of matters between men and women, but she was focused on cultivation and never cared about such things.

Aside from worshipping the Five Elements Demon Gods, she had absolutely no interest in other demon men.

In addition, she was famous. Although she was beautiful, demon men avoided her like the plague.

She never imagined that she would have to merge with a man who is half human and half demon!

As Ye Ling was taking off her clothes, she even had the urge to run away.

She hadn't even realized that Shen Yifei might have some special connection with the Five Elements Demon God, and that she herself possessed an aura similar to his.

Ye Ling felt that her head was still buzzing since she came out of the sealed state, and she didn't know why she had gradually reached the point of merging with this man.

Once everything was ready, Ye Ling discovered a serious problem: Shen Yifei was almost out of breath, and his big machine was unusable!

Ye Ling squatted down in front of Shen Yifei and touched him twice, but there was no reaction at all.

"This thing... looks like this... how do you use it?"

Liu Mengli floated out, her brows furrowed; she was powerless to do anything.

Xinghe, Hongxiu, and Mo Ran also came out. Liu Mengli asked Xinghe if she could prepare a dose of medicine now to stimulate her.

Xinghe muttered a bunch of medicinal herbs, some of which she had never even heard of.

Mo Ran remained silent. Apart from being shocked, she didn't know what advice to offer. She wasn't much better than Ye Ling when it came to these matters.

The women chattered amongst themselves, each offering their own opinion, but none of them seemed to have any idea what to do with this thing.

Ye Ling said with a hint of helplessness, "Is this really that difficult?"

Mo Ran suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "How about turning it into an ice rod?"

Liu Mengli immediately understood her meaning, "Okay, of course, it doesn't matter if it's made of meat, wood, or ice, as long as it works! Miss Mo, do you have any ideas?"

Mo Ran nodded. "I have a way. I cultivate the Frost Technique; I can give it a try!"

Lin Ruonan and the others were outside the cave, listening to the voices of the people inside, but they had no idea what was happening inside.

Ye Ling instructed them to guard the cave entrance, where they could only do their duty as protectors.

After a while, the cave became quiet.

Immediately afterwards, the women in the cave started talking all at once again.

"You can't do it this way, you have to do it this way..."

"Oh dear, what time is it? Don't be shy!"

The cave was quiet for a little while longer. Lin Ruonan didn't know what was happening inside, but she could feel the tense atmosphere.

"Won't you make your brother freeze if you do that?"

"No, Master is naturally full of yang energy. It's questionable whether Mo Ran's cold air can even freeze him."

"Oh dear, look... young master...!"

"I knew it! It's working well! Miss Mo, keep freezing!"

Finally, the women inside the cave cheered.

Lin Ruonan also breathed a sigh of relief amidst the cheers of the crowd.

After a short pause, a scream came from inside the cave.
