Chapter 1150: Hunyuan Bell Advancement?

"How could I be laughing at you?" Chen Chuyang held her; Elder Xinran was well-behaved, not resisting, not trembling, her flustered look was quite amusing.

Chen Chuyang wouldn't just let her go like that; his hands naturally went to the proper place, Elder Xinran's body shuddered, her pupils widened, she turned her head, those sword-eyes fixed on Chen Chuyang, as if sword energy were about to burst forth.

His sword energy was unstable, could erupt at any moment, a layer of sword energy surrounded his body; each strand could tear his flesh, but Chen Chuyang didn't think much of it—it was just heart sword energy, he had it too; their sword energies differed, yet fundamentally they were the same.

They intertwined and fused; Elder Xinran's sword energy could not harm Chen Chuyang, likewise his could not harm hers; mixed together, each contained the other.

"Don't mess around, can you be more steady?" Elder Xinran couldn't stand it and said angrily.

Her gaze again wanted to hunt down Chen Chuyang, but she didn't act, merely using her gaze to intimidate.

It just so happened that he met Chen Chuyang, who wouldn't be fazed by this and wasn't afraid of Elder Xinran's glare—just a look; he had been through so much, he wouldn't worry or be afraid.

"I'm already steady enough; if it were Hongxue and the others, do you think you could still stand here?" Chen Chuyang said with a lecherous smile.

His gaze fell on Elder Xinran's bed; that look, that meaning, was very obvious.

Elder Xinran's body stiffened, her expression turned unnatural, she unconsciously twisted, wanting to resist Chen Chuyang's embrace and his hands; her whole body felt harassed and uneasy, she tried to break free of his grip.

Unfortunately, no matter what she did, she couldn't get away.

"Don't." Elder Xinran pleaded, her eyes full of entreaty, hoping Chen Chuyang would stop and not torment her further.

It was truly embarrassing; resisting or struggling only made Chen Chuyang more excited, playing right into his hands.

"Could you give me some mental preparation? It's too fast, I'm scared." Elder Xinran's body resisted, fearing Chen Chuyang would just scoop her up.

At that moment, she had no mental preparation and couldn't accept it.

Mainly it was too fast; Chen Chuyang's movements were too fast, each step beyond her imagination.

Before, she had imagined what seeing Chen Chuyang again would be like; she never expected this man to be so swift.

"My lady, what are you afraid of? Sooner or later you'll be my wife; as your husband, I will cherish you well." Chen Chuyang teased.

Strike while the iron's hot; if he could take her down directly, that would naturally be best.

Elder Xinran had been teasing him all along; this time, truly about to act, she felt afraid.

"Chen Chuyang, wait, next time, what will happen next time?"

"Not now."

Elder Xinran truly hadn't considered this; no matter what, she didn't know why Chen Chuyang could be so swift.

That speed was truly too fast.

She was still worried, afraid that they would directly make a mistake together.

"Your son has woken up; they're looking for you, hurry out?" Elder Xinran strained to break free, pushing Chen Chuyang out, wanting him to leave the room.

Chen Chuyang also knew he couldn't be too rushed; he followed her wishes, walked out of the room, and then the door closed.

Elder Xinran leaned against the door, not letting him enter.

Chen Chuyang smiled helplessly; ultimately he couldn't get past that mental hurdle, giving her a little time, she would soon adapt.

This time was merely a probe; Chen Chuyang also knew it couldn't succeed.

However, this time progress was great; those who should act did act; raising both hands, Chen Chuyang reminisced about the recent touch, curling his lips and said: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Elder Xinran to have such a figure—quite delightful."

Chen Chuyang truly missed it; this time he made a bit of progress; next time he could go further, soon he could win over Elder Xinran.

Must not be impatient, moreover must not be impulsive; the more such moments, the less one should act on impulse.

"Elder Xinran, you will soon be my woman."

By then, she would be unable to refuse, also unable to resist herself.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang still hadn't awakened; according to Chen Chuyang's estimate, at least five or six days; once they adapt to the spiritual energy density of Tianwai, they will naturally wake up, and then their cultivation will undergo a breakthrough.

Chen Chuyang came to his cave dwelling, activated the formation, then began taking out the things he had received from Qinglong Daoren, inspecting them with his spiritual sense; upon looking, he almost laughed out loud.

"There's really a lot of stuff; this Qinglong Daoren is truly impressive, gathering so many resources in three years."

"It's more than double what I imagined; it seems the spiritual herbs in the Nine-Grade Space were successfully cultivated, and a batch was harvested."

"Qinglong Daoren hasn't been without achievements these three years."

"Also, Huang Yan is quite good; if we encounter him, we must reward him well."

Most of the resources were brought by Huang Yan; although it's called a trade, Huang Yan willingly sent them to him from the start—it wasn't originally a trade.

It was Huang Yan showing filial piety to his master; Chen Chuyang was very pleased with Huang Yan, this kid is grateful and also filial.

Such a disciple, even if his talent were poor, Chen Chuyang would still acknowledge him.

"So many good things, many precious materials; these materials are very suitable for the Hunyuan Bell to devour."

Most are good things; there are also many Spiritual Artifact fragments; intact Spiritual Artifacts are rare, the Huang Family also has some, but fragments are even more numerous; if necessary, one can go outside to buy plenty.

After all, Spiritual Artifacts are precious; even in Tianwai they aren't that precious—ordinary low- and mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts aren't particularly precious, but high-grade Spiritual Artifacts are.

As for fragments, they aren't worth much; with a few Spirit Stones they can be bought.

The Huang Family, being a large clan, collecting some Spiritual Artifact fragments is easy; many powerful families have discarded Spiritual Artifacts, which are useless and can be sold to exchange for resources—naturally the best.

"These fragments are truly many; Huang Yan is really effective."

A mountain's worth of fragments, all Spiritual Artifact fragments; mostly low-grade, some mid-grade; high-grade fragments are pricey and not easy to obtain.

Chen Chuyang was very satisfied; he took out the Hunyuan Bell and directly devoured these Spiritual Artifact fragments.

There were also many materials; those useless were swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell.

Some were useful; Chen Chuyang kept them for later use in forging.

The Hunyuan Bell's appetite is huge; it's only one step away from becoming a supreme-grade Spiritual Artifact, and this step could happen at any time—advancement.

Last time, most of those materials were swallowed by the Hunyuan Bell.

One could say Chen Chuyang has been feeding and nourishing the Hunyuan Bell; as his cultivation rises, the bell advances with him.

This time, Chen Chuyang wants the Hunyuan Bell to make a breakthrough in one step.

After supreme-grade Spiritual Artifact comes Sacred Artifact; then it will truly be invincible.
