Burial Furnace

"Secondly, I will not live here with you. I will still run the crematorium in town. You can come to my place to cultivate, but you don't need to go every day, just once in a while. Once your true essence is purified, your cultivation speed of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra will also be very fast."

"No problem," Hua Nongying agreed without hesitation.

"Thirdly, I hope you can help set up the formation at the crematorium. It needs to be able to block divine sense detection and also have a certain defensive capability."

"No problem." Hua Nongying nodded again, her expectant look growing stronger.

But she still had some doubts in her heart.

After all, no one has been able to comprehend the Yin-Yang Rejuvenation Technique for thousands of years. Can this old man at the third level of Qi Refining really do it?

Zhang Yuan sat down cross-legged and gestured for Hua Nongying to sit down opposite him as well.

"The Yin-Yang Rejuvenation Technique is based on the Five Elements, and only cultivators with the Five Elements spiritual roots can comprehend and practice it, and it requires the cooperation of a woman..." Zhang Yuan began to explain in detail, "It has three functions: first, it purifies true essence through the mutual balance of Yin and Yang; second, it increases the speed of spiritual energy transformation, breaking through the limitations of the Five Elements spiritual roots; and third, it can reverse aging, but it cannot extend lifespan indefinitely. Lifespan is still limited by the cultivation realm. In other words, if your realm does not break through, your lifespan will be the same as other cultivators, and it will not increase in any way."

Hua Nongying listened attentively and nodded.

Zhang Yuan stretched out his hands. "Come on, put your hands against mine."

Hua Nongying did as instructed, extending her hands and gently placing them together with Zhang Yuan's palms.

Her hands were soft, her skin delicate, and slightly warm.

"I will guide your true essence; you just need to follow along," Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay," Hua Nongying replied charmingly, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and activated the true energy in his dantian.

It flows along the meridians to the arm and finally gathers in the palm of the left hand.

Then, this power broke through the palm and entered Hua Nongying's body.

Hua Nongying's body trembled slightly.

She could clearly feel a strange surge of true energy slowly flowing along her meridians.

That true essence was gentle yet resilient, carrying a strange rhythm, as if it were alive.

The true essence in her dantian seemed to be summoned by something, surging out and circulating in her body along with Zhang Yuan's true essence.

The two true energies, one yin and one yang, are like two swimming fish, chasing and intertwining with each other.

The circulatory path is very complex, sometimes going up, sometimes down, sometimes passing through the eight extraordinary meridians, and sometimes penetrating deep into the five internal organs.

Finally, the combined true energy flowed out from her left palm and returned to Zhang Yuan's other arm.

Zhang Yuan controlled this massive amount of true energy within his body, circulating it according to the path of his cultivation technique, which was equally complex.

After circulating once, it entered her body again through her left palm.

With each cycle, the true essence becomes one step purer.

Moreover, the cycle speed is getting faster and faster.

At first, he needed to guide it with his consciousness, but later on, the true essence no longer needed his control.

It formed its own automatic large cycle, circulating wildly within the two people's bodies.

The true energy surged and roared within, like a raging river.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also drawn in by this powerful attraction, entering their bodies through their breath, merging into their circulation, and transforming into new true essence.

In Hua Nongying's dantian, the golden core also underwent a strange change.

True essence surged into the golden core from one place and then flowed out from another, as if it were washing away something.

The golden elixir, which had been somewhat dim, became brighter and purer, as if the dust had been washed away by clear water.

Finally, the entire golden elixir shone brightly, illuminating the entire dantian.

In Hua Nongying's heart, a stormy sea had already been raging.

My God, he really got it!

Moreover, his practice was so skillful that it seemed as if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of times.

The second Yin-Yang Ancestor has truly been found!

Very good!

From this day forward, the Joyful Union Sect—no, the Jade Maiden Sect—is about to rise!

The days of being bullied are gone forever!

Zhang Yuan also discovered an unexpected surprise.

Through this practice, the true essence and yin and yang are harmonized, and although the circulation speed is extremely fast, it does not damage the meridians at all.

On the contrary, that vital energy has a repairing and nourishing effect on the meridians.

His meridians became increasingly moist, smooth, and wide.

A feeling of euphoria washed over me, so comfortable that I almost groaned out loud.

It's almost addictive.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yuan estimated that it was almost dark and slowly finished his practice.

The true energy split apart instantly, like two rivers flowing into the sea.

His true essence returned to his dantian, increasing in quantity by about 10%, and became even purer.

The wrinkles on his face had become a little less pronounced.

Hua Nongying's true essence also returned to her dantian.

The increase in quantity was negligible, after all, her base number was too large.

But her true essence had become far more refined, and that golden core shone brightly, radiating light like a newborn sun.

She opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

It felt like I had been reborn; my whole body was full of energy, and every cell was cheering with joy.

"Zhang Yuan, you're amazing!" She looked at Zhang Yuan, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration. "You've truly comprehended the Yin-Yang Rejuvenation Technique! In thousands of years, you're the first to have done so! You're the second Yin-Yang Ancestor! We're so lucky to have met you!"

"Remember to keep this a secret, or I'm worried we'll be in big trouble," Zhang Yuan warned.

"Don't worry." Hua Nongying nodded firmly. "I will absolutely not reveal a single thing. Even among my disciples, only the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators will know, so they can cultivate with you and purify their true essence. The other disciples will only be qualified to cultivate with you after they advance to Foundation Establishment. I will also instruct them not to divulge this."

As she spoke, she slowly removed her veil.

Zhang Yuan's breath caught in his throat.

Her features were so exquisite, like a masterpiece of nature, with every part perfectly proportioned.

Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, curved and with a touch of gentleness.

His eyes were like autumn water, clear and deep, as if they could see into a person's soul.

Her oval face was fair and delicate, so smooth it seemed like it could be broken with a touch.

His nose bridge was like a jade pillar, straight and elegant.

Her cherry-like lips were sexy and alluring, full and glossy.

With her curvaceous figure, cascading black hair, and elegant and noble demeanor, she is truly a fairy descended from heaven.

Zhang Yuan's gaze was fixed on it, his heart pounding wildly.

But he still tried his best to look away and said softly, "I would also appreciate it if you could take me back and help me set up the formation."

"Don't rush, it's not dark yet." Hua Nongying smiled slightly, her smile as bright and beautiful as spring flowers in bloom.
