Chapter 107: Huang Jingxuan was stunned
After several days, Su Qian and the others finally arrived at the Purple Imperial Palace to meet Lu Chen.
They all missed Lu Chen dearly, and upon meeting they couldn't wait to find a secluded place to be intimate.
Among them, Su Qian's longing was the deepest; in less than half a month, she felt as if they hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years.
As soon as they met, tears streamed down her face.
She kept calling him 'master' over and over, saying 'I miss you' repeatedly.
While speaking, she actively leaned against him.
She felt no embarrassment, but Lu Chen hearing this felt a bit embarrassed.
The effect of the Pulling Technique was still too strong.
Therefore, Lu Chen deliberately weakened the Pulling Effect a bit, which made Su Qian's behavior much more normal.
Actually, after so much time has passed, even if the Pulling Technique were dispelled now, Su Qian would not revert to her former self.
Just after Lu Chen had settled the several people, the Empress finally sent word.
"The Pulling Technique has been optimized."
The Empress's soul form flew out, holding a manual in her hand.
Hearing this, Lu Chen was delighted and immediately took the manual to examine it.
He soon discovered that the Pulling Technique's effect had been enhanced and its limit greatly increased.
As long as Lu Chen's realm rises a bit more and he gains the ability to influence the sea of consciousness, he will be able to pull even Cave Heaven Realm cultivators and those above.
In other words, those beings he once looked up to can now be easily subdued by him.
"Look at the specific functions yourself; I'm a bit fatigued, so I'll probably need to rest for a long time this time."
The Empress's soul form looked somewhat illusory, likely due to over-exertion in a short period.
Having said that, she returned once more to the sea of consciousness.
Looking at the Heart-Soul Pulling Technique (Revised) in his hand, Lu Chen hesitated not, immediately returning to his room to begin practicing.
After two days of practice, needing a test subject, he summoned Qin Yan to try the Pulling.
Qin Yan is merely an early Cave Heaven Realm cultivator; ordinary Pulling Technique would have no effect on her unless she voluntarily opened her sea of consciousness.
At first Qin Yan seemed reluctant, but due to Lu Chen's lascivious might she still agreed.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other in the room, and Lu Chen deployed the modified Pulling Technique.
In the next instant, a phantom condensed around Lu Chen's body, enveloping her.
Within Qin Yan's sea of consciousness where her Cave Heaven had condensed, a trace of Lu Chen's aura immediately appeared.
Following Lu Chen's words, she tried to dispel that aura with her soul power, but found it had no effect.
Not long after, Qin Yan discovered a strange mark had appeared in her Cave Heaven.
Soon the mark was fully formed.
At that moment, she felt as if her entire train of thought had been influenced.
"So this is what it feels like to be pulled."
She had thought she had thus become Lu Chen's slave.
But Lu Chen soon actively released the Pulling.
The Pulling Technique's side effects are too great; Lu Chen did not want Qin Yan to become like that.
Otherwise, when the time came to train Wangcai, teaching him to become a foolish dog would be disastrous.
"Thank you." Qin Yan bowed.
Originally, she already viewed Lu Chen through a strong person's filter, so this attitude is quite normal.
"Mm, continue feeding the beasts; you may move freely within the Purple Imperial Palace."
Lu Chen let Qin Yan leave.
However, just as Qin Yan had stepped out, Huang Jingxuan arrived at the door of his residence.
Lu Chen immediately gestured for Mu Hanyu and the others to leave.
Soon, only he remained in the room.
Women all have their own pride; Huang Jingxuan also struggled for a long time before finally deciding.
She slowly entered the room, having changed into a different outfit today.
A moon-white true silk cheongsam wrapped her graceful figure, the snow-white at the slit tightening and loosening with her steps.
She piled her hair high, inserting a white jade hairpin obliquely; a few strands of black hair fell down, adding charm.
"Master, the Dual Cultivation Technique has been mastered."
"I am also ready."
Huang Jingxuan said this and then actively leaned forward toward Lu Chen.
"Mm."
Lu Chen stroked her hair.
From this angle, one cannot deny that her endowments are truly abundant, surpassing both Su Qian and Mu Hanyu.
With a certain Jade Technique beforehand, Lu Chen skipped the foreplay, and the two quickly moved into the main act.
Huang Jingxuan could not understand why Lu Chen wanted her to practice dual cultivation so intensely.
With her early Dao Comprehension cultivation, even if she exerted full force in dual cultivation, not only a Spirit Transformation cultivator but even a Spirit Condensation cultivator could not withstand a single night.
But as time passed, she realized she was wrong, wildly wrong.
Because she discovered that the one who first showed signs of decline was not Lu Chen, but herself.
"How does it feel that he seems completely unwilling to tire? Clearly I have already......"
Huang Jingxuan was dazed.
This man has many secrets that she could never understand.
Not long after, feeling her cultivation increase slightly, she became dazed again.
"This... my realm...?" She stopped moving, feeling the changes in herself in disbelief.
She hadn't felt the sensation of a realm increase for at least several decades.
Lu Chen seemed to have anticipated her reaction; his face showed no surprise.
"Even this is within your expectations?"
Huang Jingxuan felt that, in Lu Chen's presence, she was nothing like a sect master who possessed deduction techniques; instead, she felt like a pawn being played with at his whim.
"Forget it, whether I'm a pawn or a sect master, as long as I can let the sect survive this crisis, even in the afterlife I won't feel ashamed before my master."
Thinking of this, her heart and mind shook, and she became even more diligent.
Not long after, her realm increased a little again.
"It increased again?"
She was still far from breaking through her realm, so she had never considered the possibility of a breakthrough.
In her view, she would surely die within a year.
But, if we look at the current situation.
She only needs half a year to smoothly break through her realm and reach the midstage of Dao Comprehension, at which point her lifespan will also increase.
"I originally thought I could leave after a year, but now it seems difficult."
Huang Jingxuan didn't know whether a longer lifespan would be good or bad for her.
But if possible, she truly hopes to lead the sect back to its former peak.
As she sighed, a system notification came from Lu Chen's side.
【Detected that the host has undergone dual cultivation; the reversal effect has been automatically triggered!】
【Original effect: undergoing dual cultivation reduces yang energy and causes cultivation to regress】
【Reversal effect: undergoing dual cultivation increases yang energy and advances cultivation】
Compared to being dual-cultivated by Qin Yan and a few others, Huang Jingxuan's dual cultivation effect is obviously far more terrifying.
Without the reversal system, Lu Chen even suspects he could be turned into a desiccated corpse by her in a matter of minutes.
"This dual cultivation effect probably also speeds up realm advancement, right?"
As Lu Chen's words fell, he immediately felt his realm rise a little.
The speed of increase was terrifying; in just half a day, he felt he was about to break through.
"We're about to reach the midstage of Spirit Transformation; let's push harder!"
