Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Su Chen took out the Dao Fruit.

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Luwei stared at the fruit, momentarily stunned.

"Take the pill."

"This place, although it's completely surrounded."

"But on the other hand, the caves are interconnected, and they won't be able to find this place in a short time."

"I will go into seclusion here. Once I refine this fruit and reach the mid-stage, I will be able to get you out of here."

Bai Luwei nodded after hearing Su Chen's words.

The fruit went down my throat, and the next instant...

A surge of scalding warmth spread from Su Chen's dantian throughout his entire body's meridians.

The medicinal power of the Dao Fruit is truly domineering.

The process of cleansing the marrow and removing impurities felt like the meridians were being constantly torn apart.

This excruciating pain was comparable to the tribulation of lightning he experienced when he broke through to the next level.

The physical body is being reshaped!

An extremely rich crimson-gold spiritual energy surrounded his entire body.

Innate Qi!

When the physical body is tempered to its limit, this layer of protective energy can be generated.

Ordinary magical artifacts and spells would find it as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through this layer of protective energy.

This is something that only ordinary cultivators can possess.

Aside from this fruit, in this world, only those cultivation techniques that focus on physical cultivation and reach their peak can produce such a powerful aura.

But just when he was about to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm...

The medicinal power of the Dao Fruit was then exhausted...

Almost.

It was just a tiny bit off.

With Su Chen's current initial cultivation level, even with this amount of internal energy, plus that sword...

They weren't entirely confident of escaping from so many Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are ways...

A very faint ray of moonlight fell precisely on her ankles, outside her gauze skirt.

"White Fairy".

Su Chen spoke up.

Bai Luwei turned around.

"A breakthrough?"

"without."

Su Chen shook his head.

"Just a little bit short."

"I need a powerful spiritual force to break through the barrier."

"And your extremely cold spiritual power has been of great help to me."

Su Chen paused, his eyes fixed on Bai Luwei.

Bai Luwei was stunned for a moment.

Naturally, she understood what Su Chen meant.

The two of them had been intimate once in that Star Core Palace.

Bai Luwei knew better than anyone the method of yin and yang interacting, using her own spiritual power to nourish Su Chen.

After all, she's not some innocent, naive girl; she naturally understands these things.

"You mean..."

"Dual cultivation".

Bai Luwei pursed her lips.

"Your extremely Yin spiritual power is now the key to my breakthrough."

"Are you willing?"

Su Chen didn't mince words and made his point clear.

In fact, Su Chen did not want to get involved in this woman's karma.

But this woman came back to save him, and she wasn't pretentious; she was genuinely kind to him.

Moreover, Su Chen thought this woman was an absolute gem.

She has a cold and aloof appearance, but a passionate heart, creating a striking contrast.

His cultivation level is also quite high.

Su Chen wasn't entirely without goodwill towards him.

However, it seems that I will have to find another Daoist partner.

I wonder what my three Daoist partners will think...

Never mind...

Su Chen originally thought that Bai Luwei would still have to be a little coy.

Who knew?

"Yes, yes!"

"Didn't you want to break through?"

"If it's delayed, it won't be good."

"Besides, this isn't our first time, so I'm fine with it!"

After Bai Luwei finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, that was said too decisively...

This saintess could not hide her true feelings.

That's it.

Without further ado, Su Chen pulled Bai Luwei over.

...

The fog outside the cave thickened even more.

A withered leaf, frozen by the cold air, drifted in through the cave entrance, swirled around, and landed on the ground.

A thin layer of white frost had formed on the leaves.

Inside the cave, the sound of dripping water had somehow become somewhat disordered.

Su Chen's wisp of pure Yang spiritual energy, following the bridge of their dual cultivation, forcefully probed into Bai Luwei's body.

Her body involuntarily leaned towards Su Chen.

Ice spirits are the most sensitive.

Wherever that pure Yang spiritual power passed, it felt like a tingling electric current.

"Su Chen..."

"I like you."

"I like your domineering nature."

"I like you, and you're manipulating me like this without any explanation."

"I look down on all those fellow disciples who fawn over me all day long."

"Someone like you..."

"This is the man I want."

For some reason, these lewd words sounded unusually sincere coming from this woman's mouth.

Su Chen's desire to conquer was completely aroused.

Got it!

Su Chen grabbed Bai Luwei's slender waist with one hand.

With his other hand, he lifted her chin.

Su Chen lowered his head and kissed her.

Bai Luwei trembled again.

She tried to move, but Su Chen's hand held her firmly in front of him.

The force was so great that Bai Luwei had no room to move at all.

They were restrained like this and couldn't move.

Bai Luwei's mind was in complete turmoil again.

But it was precisely this feeling of being held down tightly, having no say in her own life, that made her unable to extricate herself.

"Smack."

Su Chen's hand landed on the curve beneath the gauze skirt.

"I knew you'd fall for that."

Su Chen chuckled softly.

In return, Bai Luwei responded with even more frenzied appeasement.

This woman is, after all, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and also possesses the Ice Spirit Body, a rare find even in ten thousand years.

The spiritual power emanating from him was far more abundant than that of Su Chen's three Daoist partners.

The spiritual energy continuously fed back to Su Chen!

boom!!!

The barrier that had been hanging over Su Chen for so long shattered in response.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm!

His innate qi also grew much stronger as his cultivation level increased.

Only then did Su Chen determine his current strength.

It is enough to mobilize even purer Heavenly Tribulation power, and this Qi is something that even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator cannot break.

In addition, there's that flawless sword embryo!

Haha, these people were trying to kill me, but now it looks like the tables are turning!

The Ice Goddess in his arms was completely limp at this moment.

"You woman."

"That's not enough?"

Su Chen grinned.

Bai Luwei didn't even have the strength to reply.

She simply nestled softly in Su Chen's arms, panting.

Those eyes, brimming with moisture, glanced at Su Chen.

Su Chen's heart fluttered at the sight.

But before Su Chen could savor it for even a moment...

A gust of spiritual wind blew in from the other side of the cave entrance.

The wind carried several chilling killing intents.

broken!!!

Su Chen's breakthrough caused quite a stir.

Su Chen scanned the surroundings with his divine sense.

Several auras were rapidly approaching the cave.

There's no escaping it now.

Su Chen swept the still-soft woman in his arms into his arms and carried her in his arms.

"What are you doing...?"

"Where are we going?"

Bai Luwei was stunned for a moment.

"You can't even stand up straight now."

"I can't just leave you alone in this cave."

Su Chen pursed his lips.

"Then why are you carrying me outside?"

Bai Luwei asked in a low voice.

After all, given his current disheveled state, if Su Chen were to take him out now, wouldn't that just be a burden to Su Chen?

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take you out."

"Eliminate all those bastards, leave no one alive."
