I am in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have a demonic beast clone!

The next day, at the Lingmu Peak cave.

In stark contrast to yesterday's earth-shattering celestial phenomenon of Core Formation and the lingering afterglow of the spiritual energy surge, today the main hall of the cave is enveloped in a warm, festive, and peaceful atmosphere.

Xin Ruyin, with her skillful hands and ingenious ideas, had already made some arrangements for the hall.

Several glass palace lanterns powered by low-grade spirit stones were polished to a shine, emitting a soft and bright light that replaced the cold glow of the luminous pearl.

The once empty stone table was covered with a layer of elegant brocade, and it was filled with various spiritual fruits.

There are "Purple Jade Grapes," the size of a fist, translucent like amethyst, whose aroma can calm the mind; there are "Crimson Glow Fruits," shaped like peaches with a skin that glows with a faint rosy light, bursting with juice and containing gentle spiritual energy; and there are also "Star-Spotted Algae," a specialty of the Chaotic Star Sea, resembling a starfish and with a sweet taste...

A dazzling array of items, brimming with vitality.

Several jars of fine wine, brewed with spirit rice and spirit fruit, were opened, and the aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of fruit filled the hall, refreshing and delightful.

Xin Ruyin even took out her treasured fine tea leaves brought from the Yue Kingdom and brewed them with spiritual spring water. The aroma of the tea was so enticing that it added a touch of elegance.

Zhou Ding, Xin Ruyin, and Xiao Mei sat around the table, all beaming with joy.

Even Zhou Jin was summoned by Zhou Ding and sat down with him. Although he still had a cold expression, his murderous aura had been greatly reduced, and he had blended into the celebratory atmosphere.

"Zhou Lang." Xin Ruyin picked up an exquisite white jade wine cup, the amber-colored spirit wine inside rippled slightly, reflecting her bright smile.

Her eyes were like water, reflecting Zhou Ding's figure in their clear depths. They were filled with undisguised pride, joy, and admiration. Her voice was soft yet firm: "Congratulations on condensing your Golden Core, achieving the Great Dao, and officially entering the ranks of Core Formation True Persons. The path to immortality is within your reach!"

"Son-in-law, I also want to toast you!"

Not to be outdone, Xiaomei held up her glass cup high, which contained her favorite sweet "mixed fruit wine." Her face was flushed with excitement and anticipation, and her eyes shone like stars.

"I knew my son-in-law was the most powerful person in the world! He'll definitely succeed! From now on, my son-in-law is a true Core Formation Grandmaster!"

"May my son-in-law attain immortality and live a long and prosperous life! May he soon achieve the Nascent Soul stage and become a powerful figure throughout the chaotic starry sea!"

Xiaomei's clear voice was full of vitality, carrying the most sincere blessings.

Looking at the two smiling beauties before him, and at this warm and vibrant scene, Zhou Ding felt extremely happy.

After decades of arduous practice, one day of success is achieved. Sharing this joy with loved ones is truly one of life's greatest pleasures.

He laughed loudly, his voice echoing across the rooftops. He picked up the full jade cup in front of him and said with great gusto, "Good! Ruyin, Xiaomei, we're happy today, so don't be shy. Let's drink to our hearts' content and not leave until we're drunk!"

Having said that, he tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor in his glass, which contained pure spiritual energy, in one gulp.

As the wine entered his throat, it transformed into a warm current that spread throughout his body, subtly resonating with the newly formed three-colored golden elixir in his dantian, adding to the exhilarating sensation.

"Cheers!"

Xiao Mei cheered and, imitating Zhou Ding, drank the fruit wine in her cup in one gulp. She coughed twice from the sweet and spicy taste, her face flushed even more, but she laughed even more happily.

Xin Ruyin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, taking a graceful sip of her drink, but her gaze remained tenderly fixed on Zhou Ding.

Zhou Jin also picked up his wine cup, gave a slight nod in Zhou Ding's direction, his scarlet eyes flashed, and then he drank the spirit wine in his cup, which had been slightly treated with bloodthirsty energy.

For a time, glasses clinked and laughter filled the air.

The tension and oppressive atmosphere that had lingered in the cave for several days was completely dispelled by this strong sense of joy and warmth.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Many of the spiritual fruits on the table had been consumed, and the jars of spiritual wine were gradually empty.

Xiaomei was already slightly tipsy; her originally fair face was now as red as a ripe apple, and her eyes were somewhat glazed.

Holding the purple electric ferret that had somehow slipped into her arms, she haphazardly stroked its smooth purple fur while rambling on about "envisioning the future": "Miss, young master... wait for me... wait until I reach the late Foundation Establishment stage, then I'll... I'll draw tons and tons of powerful intermediate-level talismans... no, advanced-level talismans! I'll cover our cave dwelling... inside and out! Let's see who dares to cause trouble... hehe..."

The ferret, its face slick with the smell of alcohol, and its fur disheveled by her restless hands, rolled its eyes in exasperation and grunted in dissatisfaction. It didn't struggle, letting the little drunk hug it, only lightly brushing its tail against her arm in protest.

Xin Ruyin's cheeks were also flushed, and she looked less aloof and more beautiful than usual.

She sat quietly beside Zhou Ding, her soft hand gently held in his broad, warm palm. She felt the reassuring warmth and strength emanating from his palm, and her heart was filled with an unprecedented peace and joy.

She tilted her head slightly, leaning on Zhou Ding's shoulder, listening to his strong heartbeat, and looking at Xiao Mei's charmingly drunk appearance, feeling that nothing could be more peaceful and serene than this.

That night, the moonlight was as clear as water, casting a hazy glow through the special crystal at the top of the cave.

Inside the master bedroom of the cave dwelling, red candles burned brightly, their wax dripping slowly and forming beautiful shapes on the candlesticks. A cloud-shaped canopy made of silk was gently lowered, concealing the boundless spring scenery within, allowing only a warm glow and alluring shadows to peek out.

Zhou Ding and Xin Ruyin sat facing each other, yet were closely intertwined.

The Yin-Yang Creation Technique, a top-tier dual cultivation method, achieves unprecedented harmony and profound effects when practiced when the two are of one mind and deeply in love.

Xin Ruyin possesses the Dragon Roar Body, which was originally an incurable disease that had plagued her for many years. However, under Zhou Ding's guidance and nourishment, which combined the Yin-Yang Creation Technique with his own pure magic power and abundant vitality, it became a great help on her cultivation path.

At this moment, in this perfect fusion of spirit and flesh during dual cultivation, the wonders of the Dragon Roar Body are fully revealed.

Zhou Ding could clearly sense a strange aura, extremely yin and pure, yet brimming with vitality, seemingly capable of drawing upon the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, continuously flowing from Xin Ruyin's body, blending with his own magical power.
