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

"What kind of wife calls her husband a taciturn man all the time?"

Su Chen pretended to be aggrieved.

Back then, in the bamboo grove pavilion of Tai Xuan Sect.

This woman is a silent, taciturn person.

At that time, Lin Wanwan, as the Holy Maiden of the sect, disliked Su Chen very much.

It wasn't until Su Chen barged into the attic that she discovered the aloof saintess was actually a chatterbox with a surprising twist.

It was around that time that this woman started calling herself a "silent gourd."

Am I bored?

Su Chen was quite curious.

Lin Wanwan stretched her jade-like feet forward and simply changed to a more comfortable position, half-lying on the soft cushion next to her.

"When we first met."

She squinted, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"It's so boring."

She covered her mouth with her delicate hands and chuckled.

Su Chen pursed his lips and followed her lead, lying down next to her.

Lin Wanwan, on the other hand, was quite at ease. She reached out and pulled Su Chen's head onto her lap.

It's fragrant and soft.

In terms of affection, these Daoist partners all have a deep bond with Su Chen.

They also shared weal and woe.

But if we're talking about Su Chen's most AFK (away from keyboard) person, it has to be this former Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Sect right in front of him.

Su Chen's eyelids drooped, and he almost fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen rubbed his eyes to try and shake off the drowsiness.

"Wanwan."

Su Chen rested his head on Lin Wanwan's lap as he spoke.

There's something I need to explain to you.

Lin Wanwan looked down at him, her eyelashes drooping, and didn't say anything. She just casually twirled the stray hairs at his temple with her fingertips.

"Three years later."

Su Chen's voice turned somber.

"I want to go to the upper realm."

"Master Hongfu has already gone ahead. My master can also take me through this gate to the human realm."

Su Chen stared at the dark beams above his head.

"But you guys..."

He paused, as if considering how to say it without making things awkward.

That's right!

Wang Yuyan and Li Tianqi have also reached the Nascent Soul stage.

But in terms of cultivation level, Lin Wanwan is still the highest.

Although Bai Luwei of Xueyuan Pavilion is not bad either.

However, Su Chen understood very well that Bai Luwei still had a deep attachment to this place.

In fact, Bai Luwei, this seemingly contradictory saintess who enjoys being conquered by Su Chen, is exceptionally concerned with love and romance.

But that's precisely why.

In truth, I have some attachment to Xueyuan Pavilion.

This also affects one's Dao heart, making it difficult to easily break through the Refinement Void stage.

"With your current cultivation level, you cannot pass through that Dao Gate."

"The flesh and blood body of a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot withstand the strangulation of the boundary wall."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Lin Wanwan remained silent, and her usually aloof eyes showed little emotion.

That's right!

Lin Wanwan is just as calm.

Such composure demonstrates a steadfast and unwavering commitment to the Tao.

This makes it the easiest for Lin Wanwan to enter the Void Refinement stage.

"Yu Yan, Tian Qi, and Bai Luwei, who was just hired by Xueyuan Pavilion."

Su Chen counted them one by one.

"Their cultivation level will not reach the Void Refinement stage anytime soon."

"Only you."

He took a sip of the spiritual tea with a sigh, then glanced at Lin Wanwan.

"You have the highest talent, and you cultivate the ancient method passed down by Hong Fu. You have the best chance of breaking through to the Void Refinement realm within three years."

"If Luoyan City didn't have a Void Refinement cultivator in charge..."

"Please take care of your sisters for me."

"Once I've established myself in the Upper Realm..."

"Then I'll come back for you."

Although Su Chen said that...

But deep down, I know very well.

After this parting, I don't know when I'll be able to return to the mortal realm.

More importantly, if one were to return to the lower realm within a hundred years...

It's estimated that only Lin Wanwan has managed to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

Lin Wanwan looked at his guilty expression.

I felt somewhat relieved.

There's really no need for that!

I, Lin Wanwan, was once a holy maiden of a sect, having traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

With unwavering resolve and a calm mind, one can achieve great things.

Why should I need my husband's comfort?

Why are you speaking so sincerely?

"The cultivation world is just this realistic; you and I both know that."

After saying this, Su Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

This certainly fits the personality of this contrasting saintess.

So open-minded...

"But I only promised you..."

"After entering the Void Refinement stage, I can stay in the human realm for a maximum of two hundred years."

"Every two hundred years, regardless of whether your other Daoist partners have broken through to the Void Refinement stage or not, I will go to the Upper Realm to find you."

"You must come and pick me up too."

This statement can be considered as Lin Wanwan negotiating terms with Su Chen.

However, Su Chen had no reason to refuse, nor was he entitled to refuse.

But honestly, I really don't understand Lin Wanwan's thoughts.

She ran away with him as the Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Although there was some unpleasantness in Qingzhou because of Jiang Yun.

But at least the Tai Xuan Sect is a place of birth and nurturing.

She never even met Huang Tianhua.

"it is good."

Su Chen had agreed.

"But before that."

He leaned close to her ear.

"We need to figure out a way to break through that bottleneck for you first."

Lin Wanwan stiffened as he hugged her, then turned her head away and glared at him.

"If you want to cultivate together, just say so."

A faint blush rose on her cool, delicate face.

After all, this saintess is a woman, and she also needs the nourishment of rain.

She watched Su Chen take Wang Yuyan out time and time again.

It's been a long time since I've touched myself.

"But don't blame me, I'll drain all your spiritual energy in a bit."

Lin Wanwan chuckled softly.

It did have a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Su Chen chuckled.

"Look at how exhausted you are right now."

He pinched her chin.

"I'll probably be the one begging for mercy in a bit, not me."

Before she could finish speaking, that hand had already reached her ankle.

A small, delicate, pink foot suddenly tensed.

Immediately afterwards, the plain blue robe slid down her shoulder.

Su Chen grabbed her ankle domineeringly.

She couldn't move an inch at all.

Su Chen's spiritual energy, being at the Void Refinement stage, flowed into his meridians through the dual cultivation method.

A tingling sensation made Lin Wanwan unable to resist.

overbearing!

Su Chen is still as domineering as ever.

Unfortunately, Lin Wanwan had no strength left to resist.

They can only be conquered in a sorry state.

Lin Wanwan was already extremely exhausted from her failed breakthrough attempt.

The tingling sensation washed over her limbs and bones like a tidal wave, almost making her lose her mind.

"Such domineering spiritual power..."

Her murmurs were as faint as a whisper.

"My meridians..."

Honestly, if I weren't afraid of losing face...

Lin Wanwan was already thinking of begging for mercy.

"That'll teach you to be stubborn."

Su Chen chuckled softly, and increased the force of his blows.

"Don't even think about begging for mercy."

Although he said that.

The powerful spiritual energy of the Void Refinement stage advanced along the meridians, reaching the barrier between the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages.

We still need to investigate Lin Wanwan's barrier.

No...

Relying solely on dual cultivation to transfer power is far from sufficient.

That formidable barrier was thicker than anyone could imagine. If she tried to force her way through, let alone break through the barrier, she would probably have her meridians cracked inch by inch.

The last time Su Chen went to the Black Mountain Continent, he went to the auction house in the Nightless City.

I once encountered a kind of elixir.

Of course, this elixir is extremely expensive and not very practical.

So I didn't make a move at the time.

Now Su Chen remembered this elixir.

Alas, it's too late for regrets.

Now, the City of Eternal Night is no longer under Lu Yao's rule.

I don't know what it's become now, and naturally, that thing is long gone.

...

High in the heavens, even though it is daytime, there are still stars arrayed in the sky.

Several enormous stars, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, echoed each other from afar, casting a faint, ethereal light.

Clouds and mist flowed from the waist of the mountain peaks, weaving a boundless sea of ​​immortals.

At the summits of the sacred mountains, pavilions stand in rows, their flying eaves gleaming with dazzling light.
