Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Half an hour later, Su Mu slowly fed Xiao Yunshang the pure essence refined from the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

The essence of the top-grade earth-level Ganoderma lucidum is warm, rich, and nourishing, firmly locking in Xiao Yunshang's innate Xuanlei body, which was on the verge of collapse. The physical injuries that were originally deteriorating were completely stopped and slowly began to repair and improve.

The troublesome damage to the Xuan body has finally been resolved.

Su Mu once again activated his divine sense, probing deep into Xiao Yunshang's sea of ​​consciousness to carefully examine the state of the Thunder Phoenix Martial Aspect.

The mysterious pills fed to him earlier could only temporarily stabilize the Martial Spirit's soul, barely keeping him alive and preventing him from completely collapsing, but they could not cure the root cause of the injury.

"This is troublesome."

Su Mu frowned, his expression grave.

For cultivators at the Martial Emperor realm, the Martial Aspect is the core of their divine soul and the foundation of their life. Even if their Profound Body and Profound Spirit are intact, once their Martial Aspect completely dissipates, they will still inevitably perish.

The wounds to the soul of a martial artist are among the most difficult to heal of all injuries in the heavens. Simply replenishing soul power is far from sufficient to restore them.

High-level soul-type rare materials are extremely rare in the world, and he currently has none in stock.

Su Mu pondered intently, quickly outlining the repair method: "To repair a severely damaged Martial Aspect, in addition to replenishing the loss of the Divine Soul, it also requires a massive amount of the great power of heaven and earth to nourish and temper it, so that the Martial Aspect can regain its vitality and be completely restored."

The so-called great power of nature is the purest primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Only cultivators at the Martial Emperor realm can activate their own Martial Aspect to actively absorb and refine it.

Although Su Mu had not yet condensed a martial form, he was able to barely mobilize the great power of heaven and earth by relying on his extraordinary spiritual realm and profound understanding of the Great Dao.

However, the problem remains—the great power he mobilizes cannot be actively integrated into the martial arts of others.

Lei Huang's martial appearance was almost sluggish and rigid, and Xiao Yunshang herself was in a deep coma and unconscious, unable to independently draw upon her vital energy to nourish her own martial appearance.

This is the deadlock, and the most difficult hurdle to overcome right now.

After a moment's thought, Su Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There's an idea that might be worth a try!"

He instantly recalled the "Hehuan Caibu Gong" (a type of herbal massage technique).

This mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique was an exclusive technique included in the newbie gift pack when he was bound to the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system. It not only included dual cultivation of the physical body, but also contained an extremely rare secret technique of dual cultivation of the soul.

In the state of dual cultivation of soul and spirit, he can use the power of the cultivation technique to temporarily control Xiao Yunshang's sluggish martial appearance, guide the great power of heaven and earth to actively integrate and nourish it, and rapidly repair the soul injury of the Thunder Phoenix martial appearance.

The situation is critical, and there is no time to lose.

Without further hesitation, Su Mu quickly reviewed the operating techniques of the dual cultivation secret art, then immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his primordial spirit detached from his own consciousness and cautiously entered Xiao Yunshang's consciousness domain.

The secret technique of "Hehuan Cai Bu Gong" was fully activated, and wisps of spiritual energy rippled outwards.

In an instant, Su Mu's primordial spirit resonated with the dazed Lei Huangwu.

Relying on the resonance of the cultivation technique, his primordial spirit was able to safely approach the Thunder Phoenix Martial Image, completely avoiding the obstruction and backlash from all the soul-type treasures on Xiao Yunshang's body.

Xiao Yunshang was in a daze, her martial appearance was stagnant, and she was completely passive. With no one to control or resist her, this dual cultivation of souls was able to proceed smoothly.

Su Mu's primordial spirit closely adhered to Lei Huang's martial appearance, and the two auras merged and became almost one.

With his cultivation on track, Su Mu began to mobilize the great power of heaven and earth on a large scale, continuously gathering in the room and slowly flowing into Xiao Yunshang's martial image.

The secret art of dual cultivation inherently contains the wondrous ability to read the other's soul memories and absorb their cultivation insights, all of which are under the complete control of the active party.

But Su Mu never had the slightest ulterior motive.

Xiao Yunshang was severely injured and her spirit was unstable. At this moment, the slightest movement could cause irreparable damage to her spirit, so he dared not do anything reckless.

To accelerate the repair, Su Mu drew upon the power of heaven and earth to nourish Xiao Yunshang's martial image while gradually imprinting his accumulated insights into the Great Dao into her damaged martial image, helping her stabilize her soul and elevate her spiritual realm.

Time slips away quietly.

An entire day and night passed by quietly.

The following morning, the long-dormant Thunder Phoenix Martial Aspect suddenly trembled violently, and its shattered divine soul patterns slowly coalesced.

On the bed, Xiao Yunshang, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes, her clear eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

She only remembered being ambushed by a powerful enemy, suffering severe injuries, and escaping back to the library with her last breath before losing consciousness completely. After that, she had no memory of what happened next.

"Don't move, I'm helping you repair your Martial Spirit Soul."

A cool and composed divine sense transmission resounded directly deep within her consciousness.

Xiao Yunshang immediately stopped moving, lay down quietly, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Su Mu was sitting cross-legged on the side of the bed, his eyes closed, his expression peaceful, and he was concentrating on maintaining the state of dual cultivation.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the precious robe she had removed from her body, and then sensed her internal condition—her Xuan Body injuries had completely healed, her Xuan Spirit was stable and safe, and she had long since escaped danger.

Xiao Yunshang was knowledgeable and experienced, and she immediately understood the current situation, realizing that she was engaged in a very private soul cultivation with Su Mu.

Now that Xiao Yunshang had awakened and could control her martial form to absorb the power of heaven and earth, Su Mu gave her a brief reminder, then withdrew his primordial spirit and slowly exited her sea of ​​consciousness.

The state of dual cultivation of soul and spirit is thus ended.

After his primordial spirit returned to its place, Su Mu adjusted his breathing for a while and then got out of bed.

Xiao Yunshang slowly sat up straight, her gaze first falling on the precious robe beside her, then turning to look at Su Mu, and softly asked, "Do you know what dual cultivation of the soul means?"

Su Mu explained frankly: "At that time, your martial spirit was on the verge of collapse. I had no other choice but to use the dual cultivation technique of the soul to save your life."

"You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame you," Xiao Yunshang immediately interrupted him.

Su Mu added, his attitude frank: "During the entire dual cultivation process just now, I did not pry into any of your soul memories."

"Even if they see it, it won't matter. I have lived an open and honest life, with no secrets I can't share with anyone."

Xiao Yunshang's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes serious and firm: "What I mean is, even if you had no choice but to do it to save me, you must take responsibility for me."

"Responsibility?" Su Mu was slightly taken aback. "Is it the kind of responsibility I'm thinking of?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yunshang lowered her eyes and spoke softly, her ears turning red: "You removed my precious robes, glimpsed my entire appearance, and our souls intertwined, our breaths mingling. With such an intimate entanglement, I can no longer marry another in this life. You must take responsibility, you must take full responsibility!"

Su Mu nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with indescribable joy.

On the night Xiao Yunshang condensed her martial image and advanced to the Martial Emperor realm, he took the initiative to propose to her to form a contract and have children. At that time, Xiao Yunshang hesitated due to concerns about the future and politely declined.

He originally thought that although Xiao Yunshang had feelings for him, it hadn't reached the point of being devoted to him or determined to stay together. The two had only known each other for a short time, and their understanding of each other was still superficial.

But after this incident, everything changed completely.

Overwhelmed by gratitude and unable to repay it, the only thing left to do was to offer herself in marriage.

Moreover, Su Mu's formidable combat prowess, noble demeanor, and righteous and generous nature had already earned Xiao Yunshang's admiration and growing affection. This dual cultivation of their souls completely shattered all her hesitations.

A match made in heaven, if missed, will surely bring regret! She absolutely does not want to miss such an extraordinary man.

"It's good that you're willing to take responsibility." Xiao Yunshang smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, and raised her hand to put the precious clothes back on neatly.
