In his previous view, that would have been a huge waste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is truly difficult to judge future events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Ning Zhuo had no way to circulate the ninth-level art and could only awkwardly remain stuck at the peak of the eighth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dual cultivation was still continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi of the Two Instruments was constantly being transmitted to him, then rapidly dissolving in his three dantians, transforming into the foundation of his three seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, thoughts rose and fell in his Sea of Consciousness, their quantity surging terrifyingly; magic power gathered in his Sea of Qi, the sea of clouds stirred with waves, creating a magnificent spectacle; essence and blood expanded in his Sea of Essence, transforming from a lake into a vast river and sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncomfortable, too uncomfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo only felt pain in his chest, his brow center bulging, his energy extremely vigorous; he wished he could run at full speed for three days and three nights without sleep or rest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nostrils bled first, then his other six orifices bled one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he secretly cried out that it was bad, Yang Chanyu finally woke up and regained her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ball of yin and yang energy between herself and Sun Lingtong, Yang Chanyu revealed a look of shock, then immediately stopped the technique of extracting yang to supplement yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sun Lingtong, what is going on with you? Are you practicing a virgin art? Can a virgin art emit this much yang energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu was ashamed and annoyed, her gaze complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Ning Zhuo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly focused his spirit on Yuan Dasheng, ready to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong, however, said: \"Yang Chanyu, weren't you the one who crazily wanted to dual cultivate with me just now? You've gotten your wish, so why are you reluctant now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu snorted coldly: \"I was hit by an enemy's sneak attack; the power of a Nascent Soul level is hard to resist. That I could hold on until now can be considered saving your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I took the initiative to request orders to come here this time to discuss the matter of our marriage contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, this situation has occurred, and dual cultivation has become a fact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must return with me, explain everything to my master, and give me an account!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo: \"?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt it was bad: \"Didn't the boss say that this level of dual cultivation of yang energy and yin energy is common? It doesn't involve original yang or original yin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo really wanted to question Sun Lingtong, but this moment was not a good time, so he could only restrain himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong raised his head, glaring at Yang Chanyu: \"I'm not going back! If I go back, I'll lose my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That marriage contract of yours and mine is nothing more than your master planning for you, plotting for my natural talent. Such a conspiracy and ambition are known to everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My master was the one who was plotted against, which is why he lost in the gambling match and had to agree to the marriage contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I go back with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My master hasn't even been found yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong shook his head directly, refusing flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, what account should I give you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I give you an account?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the one who crazily wanted to dual cultivate with me, what could I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong's series of rhetorical questions left Yang Chanyu speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, both of us were hit by a bewitching ghost technique; I was fine, but you were affected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should thank me for saving your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I hadn't extracted yang energy for you to harmonize your yin and yang, you would have long since been suffocated to the point of spraying yin energy, dead or crippled. Are you still talking to me like this now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also know that I practice a virgin art! Do you know how heavy a price I paid by risking the danger of losing my cultivation to forcibly extract the yang energy from my body!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu opened her mouth, about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong added: \"If you want to take me back, you can only take my corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would rather self-destruct my soul than leave it for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong displayed a fierce and tough side, as if his desperate pleas for help to Ning Zhuo earlier were just a hallucination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine. A good Sun Lingtong, so sharp-tongued!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just finished dual cultivating with me, and you turn your face and deny anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, very good! Like master, like disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu was so angry her face turned green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong spread his hands: \"You didn't lose your original yin, you only paid a little yin energy, what are you fussing about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your status and talent, who knows how many cultivators you've dual cultivated with like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to use this to threaten me, do you think I'm a fool?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!!!\" Yang Chanyu was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong sneered: \"Are you going to make a move? I just saved you, and you're going to repay kindness with enmity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to remind you that we have a marriage contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to make a move on me, watch out for the backlash of the marriage contract!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong shook his chubby little finger, his playful appearance making people want to slap him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu was left speechless by his retort; her eyes moved slightly, noticing that the ghost fog was rapidly dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was not suitable for a long stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chanyu took a deep breath: \"Hmph, you took advantage of this lady, and you still want to act innocent and deny it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm telling you, Sun Lingtong, this matter is not over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she cast a magic spell, pierced through the air, and disappeared from where she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talisman floated in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was left behind by Yang Chanyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong's eyes brightened suddenly, and he reached out to take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep this little life of yours; in the future, I will settle this account with you properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong chuckled, unconcerned: \"Settle accounts with me? Settle it with my little brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't dual cultivated with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that's not it!\" Ning Zhuo hurriedly used the Human Thread to transmit a message, \"Boss Sun, what is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's head was almost smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knew that Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu were in a hostile relationship; he didn't expect there to be inside information, and that the two were involved in a marriage contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Yang Chanyu, uh, Fairy Chanyu, is she my sister-in-law?\" Ning Zhuo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah!\" Sun Lingtong immediately cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I practice a virgin art, how could I have a sister-in-law? Don't mention this again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her master has long plotted for my spirit eye talent, wanting to consume me to help Yang Chanyu reach a higher level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calling it a marriage contract, if I fell for the trick, my life would be gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, back then, I accidentally took a Beauty-Preserving Pill and could only practice a virgin art, so my original yang has never been leaked, which is why I delayed the marriage contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, my master led me all over the place, just not returning to the sect, also to avoid this pair of master and disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are all old stories, let's not talk about them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the ghost fog had thinned out a lot, Sun Lingtong put away Yuan Dasheng, pierced through the air, and disappeared from where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, he arrived at another underground secret base and met up with Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was straight-faced at this time, quietly staring at Sun Lingtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong chuckled: \"Little brother, thank you for saving me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head: \"Boss, you plotted against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong was usually a very tough person, but in this ghost fog, he had sought help from Ning Zhuo with all his might, which was completely against his nature!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was extremely worried about Sun Lingtong at the time and didn't notice this flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sun Lingtong was safe, and he finally realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo said in a deep voice: \"Boss, you deliberately let me dual cultivate with Yang Chanyu so that I would have an entanglement with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You previously advised me to take the Immortal Palace and run away. You also always wanted me to join the Unoccupied Gate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you worried that I'll fight to the death here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong's thoughts were exposed, but he wasn't flustered at all, directly giving Ning Zhuo a thumbs up: \"As expected of you, Little Zhuo, you saw through my strategy so quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not plotting against you, but paving the way for our brothers' future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, when you take the Immortal Palace, we will run back to the Unoccupied Gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have my talent, and you have the reality of dual cultivation with Yang Chanyu, plus you sit on the Lava Immortal Palace, which is of great value, just enough to let her master be your backer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having you as a brother, I can also consider it turning a strong enemy into an ally, and I can also get rid of the marriage contract and keep my virgin cultivation, killing many birds with one stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, he would definitely be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo 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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the one who plotted against him this time was Sun Lingtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was another matter entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Sun Lingtong's care, it would be difficult for Ning Zhuo to grow up. For more than ten years, Sun Lingtong's guidance and living with Ning Zhuo day and night meant that for Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong was completely like a brother, a master, and a father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong \"plotting\" against him was essentially also for Ning Zhuo's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that this kind of kindness caused Ning Zhuo, a small Qi Refining cultivator, to directly provoke a Jin Dan true disciple of the Unoccupied Gate, which was a bit too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong continued to explain: \"At that time, it was really dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't that I actively plotted against you, little brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just going with the flow. Under the circumstances at the time, this was the best way to handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This encounter is actually something that can be met but not sought!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to take the Lava Immortal Palace, but you are troubled by your weak cultivation and the long time it takes to practice. It just so happens that you can speed up with dual cultivation; I have to say, your luck has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning luck, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but have his heart move, thinking of the theory of Qi numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong asked again: \"Little brother, how much cultivation did you gain this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo told him the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly, chuckling: \"Very good, very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't break through, stuck at the peak of the eighth level, which is actually a good thing. You can just purify the three seas and stabilize the foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After this, you can circulate the ninth-level art to break through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, the breakthrough will inevitably be smooth and without trouble. And because your three-sea foundation is too deep, there will inevitably be a situation where your cultivation soars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that I don't know if you will soar directly to the middle stage or the late stage after breaking through to the ninth level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the peak of the ninth level is not impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you reach the peak of the ninth level... tsk tsk.\" Sun Lingtong looked to the future, becoming more and more expectant, \"Little Zhuo, you can consider Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation really pays attention to opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, a single immortal fate can allow a mortal to reach the sky in one step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ning Zhuo was quite annoyed that Sun Lingtong plotted against him, he had to admit that Sun Lingtong really helped him a lot this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long cultivation time originally planned was suddenly shortened by eighty or ninety percent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo pondered: \"Since yin-yang dual cultivation is so convenient, I can just find someone else to dual cultivate with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong chuckled: \"Little brother, you've finally realized!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dual cultivation is very convenient, otherwise why would those flower houses in the Immortal City always be so lively?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, dual cultivation also has drawbacks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frequent dual cultivation easily leads to a mixture of one's own aura, which is very unfavorable for the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the benefits of dual cultivation are not what you feel now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Chanyu has talent, and she is a Jin Dan, far higher than you, which is why you had such a huge improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a short period of time, without a suitable candidate, don't dual cultivate again. The results are low, and the mixed aura will affect Foundation Establishment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded: \"Understood, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2316,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","df48304f43cec41c1be0cafc1b5f914630da1b6b3768a3ec357ca086b2d52fd4","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-213","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-211",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
