Chapter 212: Sister-in-law Chanyu?

~12 min read 2,292 words

Having reached this step, Unlike Ning Zhuo was stuck.

He was a good student with a habit of previewing, but deciphering the eighth layer of the cultivation art was his limit; he had utilized his time to the absolute extreme.

He had never thought about previewing the ninth layer. In his previous view, that would have been a massive waste!

Future events are truly difficult to judge.

Now, Unlike Ning Zhuo was unable to circulate the ninth-layer art and could only awkwardly remain stuck at the peak of the eighth layer.

But the dual cultivation continued.

The Qi of the Two Forms was continuously transmitted to him, then rapidly dissolved in his three dantian, transforming into the foundation of his three seas.

Consequently, thoughts surged one after another in his Spirit Sea, their quantity exploding terrifyingly; magic power gathered in his Qi Sea, clouds and waves rose, creating a vast and magnificent scene; in his Essence Sea, essence blood expanded, transforming from a lake into a river and sea!

Uncomfortable, too uncomfortable!

Unlike Ning Zhuo only felt his chest aching, his glabella swelling, and his energy extremely vigorous; he wished he could run at full speed for three days and three nights, without sleeping or resting!

His nostrils bled first, followed by his other six orifices bleeding one after another.

Just as he secretly cried out that it was bad, Yang Chanyu finally sobered up and regained her senses.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Qi ball between herself and Sun Lingtong, Yang Chanyu revealed a look of shock, then immediately stopped the Art of Harvesting Yang to Supplement Yin.

"Sun Lingtong, what is going on with you? Are you cultivating a Virgin Art? Can a Virgin Art emit so much Yang Qi?"

Yang Chanyu was ashamed and angry, her gaze complex.

Seeing this scene, Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly focused his spirit on Yuan Dasheng, ready to act.

Sun Lingtong, however, said: "Yang Chanyu, weren't you crazily wanting to dual cultivate with me just now? You've succeeded now, and you're still unwilling?"

Yang Chanyu snorted coldly: "I was hit by an enemy's sneak attack; the power of the Nascent Soul level is hard to resist. That I could hold on until now can be considered saving your life."

"I took the initiative to request orders to come here this time to discuss the matter of our marriage contract."

"The marriage contract from back then was decided by our masters. Now that neither of us is willing, canceling the marriage contract is the right path."

"But now, this situation has occurred, and dual cultivation has become a fact."

"You must go back with me, explain everything to my master, and give me an explanation!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "?!"

He suddenly felt it was bad: "Didn't Boss say that dual cultivation of this level of Yang Qi and Yin Qi is commonplace? It doesn't involve Primordial Yang or Primordial Yin!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo really wanted to press Sun Lingtong for answers, but this was not a good time, so he could only restrain himself.

Sun Lingtong held his head high, glaring at Yang Chanyu: "I'm not going back! If I go back, I'll lose my life."

"That marriage contract between us is nothing but your master planning for you, coveting my natural talent. Such a conspiracy and ambition are known to everyone!"

"My master was hit by a scheme, which is why he lost in the gambling match and had to agree to the marriage contract."

"Why should I go back with you?"

"My master hasn't been found yet."

Sun Lingtong shook his head directly, flatly refusing.

"Besides, what explanation should I give you?"

"Why should I give you an explanation?"

"It was you who crazily wanted to dual cultivate with me; what could I do?"

Sun Lingtong's series of rhetorical questions left Yang Chanyu speechless.

"At that time, both of us were hit by a bewitching ghost art; I was fine, but you were affected."

"You should thank me for saving your life!"

"If I hadn't extracted Yang Qi for you, letting your Yin and Yang harmonize, you would have long since been stifled to the point of Yin Qi erupting, and you would be dead or crippled. Are you still talking to me like this now?"

"You also know that I cultivate a Virgin Art! Do you know how heavy a price I paid, risking the danger of losing my cultivation, to forcibly extract the Yang Qi from my body!!"

Yang Chanyu opened her mouth, about to speak.

Sun Lingtong said again: "If you want to take me back, you can only take my corpse."

"I would rather self-destruct my soul than leave it to you!"

Sun Lingtong displayed a fierce and tough side, as if the way he had desperately begged Unlike Ning Zhuo for help earlier was just an illusion.

"Fine, fine, fine. What a Sun Lingtong, so sharp-tongued!"

"Just finished dual cultivating with me, and you turn your face and deny it."

"Good, very good! Like master, like disciple."

Yang Chanyu was so angry her face turned blue.

Sun Lingtong spread his hands: "You didn't lose your Primordial Yin, you only paid a little Yin Qi, what are you fussing about?"

"With your status and talent, who knows how many cultivators you've dual cultivated with like this!"

"You want to use this to threaten me; do you think I'm a fool?"

"You!!!" Yang Chanyu was furious.

Sun Lingtong sneered: "Are you going to make a move? I just saved you, and you're returning kindness with enmity?"

"I must remind you that we have a marriage contract."

"If you make a move against me, watch out for the backlash of the marriage contract!"

Sun Lingtong shook his chubby little finger, his playful appearance making one want to slap him.

Yang Chanyu was left speechless; her eyes flickered, noticing that the ghost mist was rapidly dissipating.

This place was not suitable for staying long.

Yang Chanyu took a deep breath: "Hmph, you took advantage of this lady, and you still want to act innocent and deny it?!"

"I'm telling you, Sun Lingtong, this matter isn't over!"

After speaking, she cast a spell, escaped through the air, and disappeared from the spot.

A talisman floated in mid-air.

It was left behind by Yang Chanyu.

Sun Lingtong's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.

The moment he touched the talisman, Yang Chanyu's voice rang in his ears: "Sun Lingtong! This escape talisman is left for you to save your life."

"Keep your little life; in the future, I will settle this account with you properly!"

Sun Lingtong chuckled, unconcerned: "Settle accounts with me? Settle it with my little brother!"

"I didn't even dual cultivate with you."

"No, that's not it!" Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly sent a message via the Human Thread of Life, "Boss Sun, what is going on?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's head was about to smoke.

He only knew that Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu were hostile, not expecting there to be inside information, and that the two were involved in a marriage contract.

"This Yang Chanyu, uh, Fairy Chanyu, is she my sister-in-law?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked.

"Pah!" Sun Lingtong immediately cursed.

"I cultivate a Virgin Art, how could I have a sister-in-law? Do not mention this again!"

"Her master has long coveted my Spirit Eye talent, wanting to consume me to help Yang Chanyu reach a higher level."

"Calling it a marriage contract, if I fell for the scheme, my little life would be gone!"

"Fortunately, back then, I accidentally took a Beauty-Preserving Pill and could only cultivate a Virgin Art, my Primordial Yang never leaking, which is why I delayed the marriage contract."

"Sigh, my master led me traveling north and south, just not returning to the sect, also to avoid this pair of master and disciple."

"These are all old matters, let's not talk about them."

Seeing that the ghost mist had thinned out a lot, Sun Lingtong put away Yuan Dasheng, escaped through the air, and disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, he arrived at another underground secret base and met up with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was straight-faced at this time, quietly staring at Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong chuckled: "Little brother, thank you for saving me."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Boss, you schemed against me."

Sun Lingtong was a very tough person, but in this ghost mist, he had begged Unlike Ning Zhuo for help with all his might, which went against his nature!

Unlike Ning Zhuo had been extremely worried about Sun Lingtong at the time and hadn't noticed this flaw.

At this moment, Sun Lingtong was safe, and he finally realized it.

Unlike Ning Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Boss, you deliberately let me dual cultivate with Yang Chanyu, making me entangled with her."

"You previously advised me to run away after seizing the Xian Gong. You also always wanted me to join the Empty Gate!"

"Are you worried that I'll fight to the death here?"

Sun Lingtong's intentions were exposed, but he wasn't flustered at all, directly giving Unlike Ning Zhuo a thumbs up: "As expected of you, Little Zhuo, you saw through my strategy so quickly."

"Hee hee hee."

"I'm not scheming against you, but paving the way for our brothers' future."

"In the future, when you seize the Xian Gong, we will run back to the Empty Gate."

"You don't have my talent, and you have the reality of dual cultivation with Yang Chanyu, plus you sit on the Lava Xian Gong, which is of great value; she can let her master act as your backer."

"Having you as my brother, I can be considered to have turned a strong enemy into an ally, and I can also get rid of the marriage contract and keep my Virgin Art cultivation; it's killing many birds with one stone."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely be furious.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had had his own opinions since he was a child; whoever made decisions for him was a strong offense to him, and he would definitely fight back.

But the one who schemed against him this time was Sun Lingtong.

That was another matter entirely.

Without Sun Lingtong's care, it would have been difficult for Unlike Ning Zhuo to grow up. For over a decade, Sun Lingtong's guidance and their living together day and night meant that to Unlike Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong was entirely an existence like a brother, a master, and a father.

Sun Lingtong "scheming" against him was essentially also for Unlike Ning Zhuo's sake.

It was just that this kind of goodwill made a small Qi Refining cultivator like Unlike Ning Zhuo directly provoke a Golden Core true disciple of the Empty Gate, which was a bit too heavy.

Sun Lingtong continued to explain: "At that time, it was really dangerous."

"I didn't take the initiative to scheme against you, little brother."

"I just went with the flow. Under the circumstances at the time, this was the best way to handle it."

"This encounter is actually a rare opportunity!"

"You want to seize the Lava Xian Gong, but you suffer from weak cultivation and too long a cultivation time. Dual cultivation can speed it up; I have to say, your luck has arrived."

Mentioning luck, Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but have his heart move, thinking of the theory of fate.

Sun Lingtong asked again: "Little brother, how much cultivation did you gain this time?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo told him the truth.

Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly, chuckling: "Very good, very good."

"You didn't break through, stuck at the peak of the eighth layer, which is actually a good thing. You can just purify the three seas and stabilize the foundation."

"After this, you can circulate the ninth-layer art and make a breakthrough."

"At that time, the breakthrough will inevitably be smooth and without trouble. Moreover, because your three-sea foundation is too deep, a situation where your cultivation soars will inevitably occur."

"It's just that I don't know if your cultivation will soar directly to the mid-stage or late-stage after breaking through the ninth layer."

"Even the peak of the ninth layer is not impossible."

"If you reach the peak of the ninth layer... tsk tsk." Sun Lingtong looked to the future, becoming more and more expectant, "Little Zhuo, you can consider Foundation Establishment then."

Cultivation really emphasizes opportunity.

Sometimes, one immortal encounter can allow a mortal to ascend to the sky in one step!

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo was quite annoyed that Sun Lingtong had schemed against him, he had to admit that Sun Lingtong had really done him a huge favor this time.

The long cultivation time originally planned had suddenly been shortened by eighty or ninety percent!

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered: "Since Yin-Yang dual cultivation is so convenient, I can find another person to dual cultivate with."

Sun Lingtong chuckled: "Little brother, you've become enlightened!"

"Dual cultivation is very convenient; otherwise, why would those flower houses in the Immortal City always be so lively?"

"However, dual cultivation also has drawbacks!"

"Frequent dual cultivation easily leads to mixed internal Qi, which is very unfavorable for the future."

"And the gains from dual cultivation are not what you feel right now."

"Yang Chanyu has talent, and she is a Golden Core, far higher than you, which is why there was such a huge improvement."

"In the short term, there is no suitable candidate; don't dual cultivate anymore. The gains are low, and the mixed Qi will affect Foundation Establishment!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "Understood, Boss." ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
