Chapter 42: Advancing to Qi Refining Level 6

At noon, in a certain room.

The wind ceased and the rain stopped.

"You have performed Dual Cultivation with your Dao Companion Xia Jingyan fourteen times. Your hearts and minds are connected, and your love has deepened. Because the Infatuation Gu received intense love, it has gained tremendous growth and promoted to Second-tier Low-grade."

"Your Spirit Root aptitude has been improved to a certain extent."

"You have gained a large amount of experience regarding Formation Dao."

"Because you obtained the other party's Yin Essence, your cultivation has advanced greatly, and your cultivation has risen to Qi Refining Level 6."

At this very moment, a pale-faced Zhou Sui lay on the bed, sensing a massive amount of information transmitted from the Infatuation Gu.

The True Essence within his body surged like the Yangtze River, circulating through every meridian in his body.

Compared to before, the True Essence in his body had increased by at least one-third.

Under normal circumstances, it would have taken at least a year, or perhaps several months, for him to raise his cultivation from Qi Refining Fifth Layer to Qi Refining Level 6.

But now, after obtaining the Yin Essence from Xia Jingyan's body, it was as if he had consumed several high-grade pills, instantly raising his cultivation to Qi Refining Level 6.

It even improved by a significant margin within the level of Qi Refining Level 6.

Without a doubt, this saved him at least a year of bitter cultivation.

He could sense the surging True Essence in his body, circulating through one cycle after another.

"To think it was promoted to Qi Refining Level 6 so easily; is Dual Cultivation with high-level female cultivators truly the shortcut to cultivation?" Zhou Sui's expression was a bit strange.

Previously, he had consumed Spirit Wine and pills and practiced bitterly day and night, yet he could not shorten the time to promote to Qi Refining Level 6.

But now, after obtaining the other party's Yin Essence, he had instantly risen to Qi Refining Level 6.

Although such a thing could only happen once and could not happen a second time, this was already more than enough.

For a Cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, one step ahead means every step ahead.

Only by reaching the Qi Refining Ninth Layer as quickly as possible would there be hope of becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the probability would be greatly increased.

"However, this woman is simply a demoness."

Zhou Sui recalled what had just happened.

Originally, after promoting to Qi Refining Level 6, he should have felt refreshed and full of energy, but Xia Jingyan was truly too terrifying; she was simply insatiable.

She had taken him a full fourteen times before letting him go.

Xia Jingyan, this demoness alone, was worth more than his two Dao Companions, Mu Ziyan and Ji Bingyu.

The reason this situation occurred was because Xia Jingyan had a special constitution; she possessed an Inner Charm Body, which is an extremely rare constitution.

It was precisely because of this constitution that she was able to endure for more than a year.

But the result was also quite astonishing, causing Xia Jingyan to act like a flood or a wild beast, actually drugging him.

This led to him being ravished by this terrifying woman time and time again.

Even with his current Qi Refining Level 6 physique, he was a bit unable to bear it.

"Is this knowledge about Formation Dao?"

Zhou Sui also sensed at this moment that a vast amount of knowledge regarding Formation Dao had appeared deep within his sea of consciousness; he had never learned any knowledge about Formation Dao before.

But now, this knowledge poured into his sea of consciousness like a tide, quickly helping him reach the Beginner stage.

Even though he had never studied it before, it was as if he had spent over a decade of bitter study on formation knowledge.

He naturally knew that this knowledge came from Xia Jingyan.

Because Xia Jingyan was a First-tier High-grade Array Master.

To be honest, this was quite astonishing.

Normally, an ordinary Qi Refining stage Cultivator could not possibly learn formations unless they were gifted with extraordinary talent and astonishing comprehension, which would allow them to reach the Beginner stage in Formation Dao.

Pills, Artifacts, Talismans, Arrays—the four skills of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Among them, formations are ranked last, not because formations are unimportant; in fact, they are extremely important. Basically, every family, every city, and even every sect requires formations for protection.

If one were to lose formations, the safety of the Cultivator would be greatly reduced.

But formations are like mathematics; not only is it difficult to reach the Beginner stage, but it is also very difficult to reach Mastery.

As for Pill Dao, if one has enough Spirit Stones, one can also grasp some Pill Dao knowledge.

But as for formations, if you don't understand, you don't understand. No amount of Spirit Medicine or pills is useful; having money cannot help you reach the Beginner stage.

This is why Formation Dao is extremely important, yet ranked last.

It is precisely because it is too difficult to enter the path of Formation Dao; those who can become Array Masters are few and far between.

So one can imagine that Xia Jingyan's comprehension is very unusual; she is only a Qi Refining stage Cultivator, yet she is already a First-tier High-grade Array Master.

If she were within a sect, she would certainly be an Inner Sect Disciple.

"Not bad. Indeed, after having you, my Heart Demon is completely gone, and my cultivation has also successfully broken through, promoting to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer."

"But I didn't expect that after Dual Cultivation with you, there would be such benefits that could allow my cultivation to improve."

"Could it be that you possess some special Spirit Body, and women who perform Dual Cultivation with you will all have their cultivation improved?"

"No wonder Sister and Little Sister Mu do this kind of thing with you day and night; I didn't expect there to be so many benefits."

Xia Jingyan was currently feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if the haze had been washed away. Her energy was extremely abundant, and the True Essence in her body formed a cycle; she was already a Great Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

She was immediately filled with wonder.

Originally, she was already a Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator, and it would have taken at least five or six years before she could step into the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

But now, she felt that her Heart Demon was gone and her bottleneck had been broken through with ease. It seemed that a mysterious power had surged from within her body, helping her break through the bottleneck and saving her years of bitter cultivation.

At the same time, her cultivation had also advanced a significant margin within the realm of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer; it could be said that she had gained a great deal.

If she had known earlier that such a thing would happen, she would have done this kind of thing with this man long ago.

Fortunately, waking up to it now is not too late.

She looked at Zhou Sui with deep affection, the love in the depths of her beautiful eyes growing ever more intense.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Xia Jingyan's expression, Zhou Sui trembled a little, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps, because he really couldn't take any more.

There have only ever been oxen worked to death, never fields plowed to ruin.

The ancients truly did not deceive me.

"Don't be afraid, brother-in-law. There will be plenty of time in the future; I will cherish you very much."

"But you wouldn't want my sister to know about what happened today, would you?"

"If my sister found out about this, she would definitely be very angry, and you would be in for bad luck too."

Xia Jingyan giggled, revealing a smile like a little witch.

Although her constitution was special, it was not as if she had infinite energy.

Most importantly, the lust within her body had now been completely vented, and she was no longer as frantic and impatient as before.

"This!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Sui's mouth twitched; he didn't know what to say. He had actually been threatened by a woman over such a matter—the situation had been completely turned upside down.

Why did it feel like he had been caught by the other party with a handle on him?

"In any case, hurry back now. Don't stay here, lest my sister discover something."

"Brother-in-law, from now on, let's get along well."

Xia Jingyan giggled, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhou Sui, watery and bright, as if to show that she had already set her sights on this man.
