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

The morning light seeped into the house through the window cracks, illuminating the fine folds of the brocade quilt as a flowing silver-white pattern.

When Li Hanshan lowered his head to kiss Yin Yue's lips, her fingers tightened slightly on his shoulder, her nails digging into his flesh, though the pressure was light. She didn't close her eyes, but looked at him so closely, his silhouette reflected in her deep, pool-like eyes.

She wanted to stay awake, but her body's instincts didn't lie.

Li Hanshan wasn't in a hurry.

He slowly injected pure Yang energy into her meridians. The warm, golden current flowed gently along Yin Yue's meridians like a stream moistened by spring water.

Her meridians were wider than expected, and the flow of spiritual energy was extremely delicate. Each node was like the surface of a jade piece that had been repeatedly polished, smooth and rounded.

But he sensed that beneath that smooth surface, an extremely cold and pure power was slowly flowing, like a deep pool that had been frozen for many years, seemingly calm on the surface, but containing a coldness far beyond his expectations.

The quality of that power was completely opposite to his pure yang energy—it was neither scorching nor warm, but carried a coolness like the first melting of ancient ice, clear and pure, without a trace of impurity.

When his pure yang energy touched the edge of that power, the two collided briefly in his meridians, like the first encounter of ice and fire. The tremor at that moment made Yin Yue's body tense up, and his fingers clenched deeper into marks on his shoulder.

Li Hanshan stopped what he was doing and looked down at her. Her breathing was a little more rapid than before, and the blush on her cheeks spread from her ears to her neck, but her eyes were filled with a kind of panic that had been disrupted by the unexpected collision.

She turned her head, her gaze falling on the leaves of the few purple bamboo stalks on the windowsill, her voice a few decibels lower than before: "What are you looking at?"

He didn't answer. His divine sense had already captured enough information from that brief collision—the texture of that cool, clear power was too special, as pure as innate essence that had been repeatedly refined countless times. It shared the same origin as his pure yang energy but branched out differently; one was extremely yang and hard, the other extremely yin and soft. He went through that information in his mind, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The body of extreme Yin.

Yin Yue possesses the same extremely Yin constitution as Xu Lingxi.

Moreover, he sensed that the coolness contained in that pure Yin energy was far more refined than any Yin-attribute spiritual energy he had ever encountered from any female cultivator before.

That purity carried an innate, natural quality, just as his Pure Yang Holy Body was born with the ultimate Yang attribute, and Yin Yue's physique was also born with the ultimate Yin attribute. The pure Yin spiritual energy within her body appeared to only have the fluctuations of late-stage Void Refinement spiritual power flowing on the surface, but beneath it lay a primordial cold source powerful enough to make the entire dantian tremble.

For any cultivator practicing Yang-attribute techniques, a late-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator with an extremely Yin body is an inexhaustible treasure trove. This is especially true for him—his pure Yang energy will undergo unprecedented tempering within her body, with each cycle further stripping away impurities from the pure Yang fire, elevating its quality to an even higher level.

"You've come out ahead." Yin Yue's voice came from below, the last syllable rising slightly. She still tilted her head, her gaze fixed on the purple bamboo, the blush on her cheeks standing out vividly in the morning light.

Li Hanshan did not deny it, and lowered his head to kiss her neck. Her breath hitched for a moment at the touch, but then she regained her composure, her fingers loosening their grip on his shoulder and instead clutching the brocade quilt beneath her.

The subsequent spiritual energy circulation was extremely smooth.

Li Hanshan pushed the Yang Ce technique to its limit, and pure Yang energy formed a complete cycle between the two of them.

Each time the cycle passes through the Hidden Moon Meridian, the extremely cold pure Yin spiritual energy is carried back to the Dantian by him, where it collides, merges, and is tempered with the pure Yang energy.

The texture of that collision was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. When it merged with Ye Shuanghua's Heavenly Spiritual Root power, it was a superposition of purity and sharpness; when it circulated with Shen Qingyue's innate lightning power, it was an interweaving of yang and lightning; when it combined with Shen Yun's Refined Void Origin, it was a superposition of fire and fire.

However, when it merges with the pure Yin energy of Yinyue, it is a head-on collision of ice and fire. Each collision will cause a fine halo of gold and silver-white light to explode at the intersection of the two forces, like two aurora lights that are ignited at the same time intertwining and entwining in the void.

His pure yang energy was repeatedly tempered in this continuous collision of ice and fire, becoming more solid after each cycle. The silver-purple lightning pattern became exceptionally clear under the stimulation of pure yin energy, like a blade tempered by ice water, sharp yet exuding a warm, cold light.

As the cycle continued, Yin Yue's body gradually softened from stiffness.

She no longer clutched the brocade quilt, but instead placed her fingers on his forearm with very light pressure, like a water plant repeatedly washed by the current, leaning in the same direction with each ripple.

She still tilted her head, but her gaze shifted from the purple bamboo to the spiritual wood patterns reflected in the sunlight on the window paper. Her breathing gradually synchronized with the rhythm of her spiritual energy circulation.

When the cycle reached its eighteenth cycle, Li Hanshan sensed that extremely fine silver-white patterns appeared on the surface of the pure Yang primordial spirit in his dantian, intertwining with the original silver-purple lightning patterns, like the roots of a tree extending in the soil.

The power contained within those silvery-white patterns carried the cool, pure yin energy, yet it clashed with the lightning patterns without any conflict. Instead, they intertwined like two woven threads. He realized that those silvery-white patterns were expanding the meridian capacity of his pure yang primordial spirit in an extremely slow but irreversible way.

At the same time, the barrier that stood between the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and the Void Refinement stage was undergoing drastic changes deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The barrier that had been impossible to break through countless times before was now softening, peeling away, and shattering inch by inch under the combined influence of pure Yin and pure Yang energies.

He sensed an unprecedented driving force; the fusion of pure yin and pure yang produced a strange resonance on the surface of the barrier. The frequency of that resonance fell precisely on the most vulnerable point of the barrier, and each resonance further disintegrated the structure of the barrier.

A thought struck him, and he focused all his attention on the loosening barrier.

The first condition for reaching the Refining Void Realm is compressing spiritual energy to its limit. He attempted to collapse all the spiritual energy in his dantian towards the center. The golden light on the surface of his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit grew brighter and brighter during the compression, like the core of a star compressed to its limit. However, each attempt was met with a violent rebound after reaching a certain critical point. The backlash was like giant hands from all directions trying to tear apart the power he had just gathered.

The second condition is that the primordial spirit and the physical body become one, and a void Dao seed is born within the body.

Li Hanshan naturally knew about the Void Dao Seed; it was a core substance that only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage could condense, formed from the power generated when the primordial spirit and physical body were united.

Once the Void Dao Seed takes shape, the cultivator is born with a wisp of Void Origin. When casting spells, they no longer only consume spiritual energy, but can also mobilize the power of their own inner Void domain.

But every time he tried to fuse his pure Yang primordial spirit with his physical body more deeply, he would feel an extremely strong tearing sensation coming from the connection between his primordial spirit and his physical body, like two ropes forcibly twisted together, which would break more easily the harder he tried.

He tried several times and finally identified a key issue.

His pure Yang primordial spirit is too strong.

Having repeatedly refined himself in dreams for so many years, through dual cultivation with Luo Li, continuous adjustment with Xiao An, and the accumulation of experience from countless battles and dual cultivation, his primordial spirit quality far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level, and is now comparable to a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

In comparison, the physical body is much weaker.

Breaking through the Void Refinement stage requires the primordial spirit and physical body to reach a certain balance during fusion, like two ropes that need to be twisted together. If one is too thick and the other is too thin, forcibly twisting them together will only result in the thinner rope breaking first.

His pure Yang primordial spirit was like an overly thick rope, while his physical body was far from keeping up with the strength of his primordial spirit.

If he could wait until his physical strength improved before attempting a breakthrough, the chances of success would increase significantly. However, with his current physique, although his physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, it is still far from matching the level of a pure Yang primordial spirit.

However, a perfect match is not necessary. Many Nascent Soul cultivators do not have physical strength as high as Li Hanshan's. His problem is that his primordial spirit is too powerful.

He hasn't even broken through to the Void Refinement stage yet, but his primordial spirit is already comparable to the late stage of Void Refinement.

Therefore, Li Hanshan only needs to lift his physical body up a little more, and the problem should be solved.

"Let's hold off for now."

Li Hanshan decided to take it slow. Anyway, there were still three days left with Yin Yue. And these three days didn't necessarily have to be used up all at once, right?

You can use it for one day today, and save the remaining two days for later.

On this day, Li Hanshan decided to make good use of Yin Yue and let her understand what it means to be beautiful...and suffer!
