I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Looking into her overly frank eyes, Li Hanshan was momentarily speechless at her bluntness.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain the difference between dual cultivation of the soul and ordinary dual cultivation, but Lin Qingyin spoke first: "You don't need to explain so much. I know the feeling of going into qi deviation better than anyone else. During those three attacks, I thought I was going to die every time. If you can save my life, I'd give you my life, let alone my body."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and untied the tie at the edge of her shirt. The movement was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if she had already confirmed this in her mind countless times.

The light blue outer robe slipped off her shoulders with a soft rustling sound, revealing the plain white inner garment beneath and the still flushed lines of her neck from her recent qi deviation.

"What do I need to do?" she asked him, looking at him with utmost seriousness.

Looking into her calm eyes, Li Hanshan felt a surge of complex emotions. She wasn't acting impulsively, nor was she trying to please him. She had simply been tormented by qi deviation too many times, and had been pulled back from the brink of death three times in a row. Now, she just wanted a clean and decisive solution.

In addition, she herself was prepared to repay him with her body.

He took a deep breath: "You don't need to do anything. Close your eyes, relax your meridians, and don't resist my spiritual energy entering the depths of your dantian."

Lin Qingyin closed her eyes as instructed.

Li Hanshan gently embraced her, wanting to help her clear her inner demons, and the only way he could do this was through the deepest level of physical contact.

Lin Qingyin's delicate body trembled. Although she had long been prepared to give herself to Li Hanshan, she was still a virgin, and it was impossible for her not to be affected by this moment.

Li Hanshan's movements were gentle, but when the last moment came, Lin Qingyin still frowned and called out.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hanshan felt as if he had ascended to heaven, but he did not indulge in the pleasure. Pure Yang energy surged out and flowed into her meridians along the point where their muscles met.

This time, he didn't linger on the periphery, but instead pushed his energy into the depths of his dantian at an extremely slow pace. He could feel that Xiao An's soul power was also moving along the threads of his pure yang energy, like a blade that had been ground to an extremely thin edge, silently wandering along the edge of her spiritual core.

When his pure yang energy finally touched the hidden crevice deep within, Lin Qingyin's body tensed abruptly. She could feel an unprecedented, sharp pain, like a red-hot iron needle probing deep into her bone marrow, explode from the edge of her dantian, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. But she bit her lip and remained silent, letting the force continue to penetrate deeper.

The moment Li Hanshan's divine sense touched the rift, it locked onto the wisp of remnant demonic will that lingered within it. It was indeed extremely stubborn, clinging to the edge of Lin Qingyin's spiritual core as if it had taken root. The moment the remnant will was severed, it struggled violently like a disturbed swarm of bees, and the tiny tentacles attached to the edge of the spiritual core desperately contracted deeper.

At this moment, he pushed his pure Yang energy to its limit. Golden light slowly poured in along the edge of the crack, peeling away the connection between the remnant spirit and the core of spiritual power one by one, like severing a spider's web. At the same time, his divine soul power also seeped into the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness through the point where the two were connected, like an invisible barrier, pressing down the surging, scorching aura layer by layer.

Lin Qingyin felt the scorching aura freeze like a flame under the suppression of her divine soul power. Then, an extremely warm and gentle force flowed upwards along her meridians, enveloping, gathering, and melting the fragments of remnant spirit that had been stripped away. A warm feeling, as if soaked in warm water, emanated from the depths of her dantian. This warmth spread along her meridians, soothing, repairing, and reshaping the hidden injuries left on her body from the demonic possession.

She could feel her cultivation level rising at an extremely slow but irreversible pace. The bottleneck that stood between the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm and its peak began to loosen slightly under the dual impact of pure Yang energy and divine soul power. At first, it was just a crack as thin as a hair, then it spread outwards like ice being repeatedly struck, from one crack to two, then three, from as thin as a hair to spreading out like a spider web.

Finally, the bottleneck shattered completely.

The spiritual power of the peak Nascent Soul stage surged into her meridians like a flood bursting its banks, cleansing every corner of her body until it was clear and bright. She could feel that her total spiritual power was at least 50% stronger than before the breakthrough, and the width of her meridians had also expanded. Even those branch meridians that had been almost broken by the scorching of her inner demons were reconnected.

When Lin Qingyin opened her eyes, her clear eyes shone with the golden light unique to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and her aura was several times more composed than before.

She looked up at Li Hanshan opposite her. After a moment, she lowered her eyelashes and said, "You are my husband now."

Her tone carried a sense of relief, as if everything had finally settled down.

At the same time, a transformation was also taking place deep within Li Hanshan's dantian. The primordial power that came from Lin Qingyin's breakthrough to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage flowed back into his meridians along the point where the two met, like spring water flowing into a dried-up riverbed, reactivating, boosting, and refining his spiritual power, which had been stagnant at the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

He could feel the long-standing barrier trembling violently under the impact of this primal force, like an ice surface being repeatedly struck, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing in the increasingly dense impacts, before finally shattering completely.

He reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. He felt his total spiritual power surge by nearly 40% at the moment of breakthrough, and the silver-purple lightning patterns on the surface of his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit became even more solid due to the tempering during the breakthrough.

Lin Qingyin looked at Li Hanshan, her gaze lingering for a moment on the slowly receding golden aura surrounding him. A smile, unnoticed even by herself, appeared on her lips: "I've broken through. You've broken through too."

Li Hanshan embraced her and said, "Your meridians have stabilized and won't relapse anytime soon. The fissure has been sealed."

Lin Qingyin looked at him, her gaze carrying a warm undertone that was hard to define—a mixture of gratitude and trust, as if touched by spring water. She reached out and gently took his hand: "Do you still think I acted impulsively?"

What do you think?

After breaking through her cultivation, she could now begin to enjoy herself. Lin Qingyin frowned at Li Hanshan's actions, gave him a coquettish glare, and then relaxed her brows, enduring the storm that Li Hanshan was bringing.
