Chapter 8: Ji Bingyu's Background, the Former Golden Core Family

The night passed, the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

"You engaged in Dual Cultivation with your Dao Companion eight times last night; your hearts and minds are connected, and your love has deepened further."

"You have gained a certain degree of Sword Dao experience, and your Spirit Root aptitude has improved to a certain extent."

"You have obtained the other party's True Essence, and your cultivation has improved to a certain extent."

At this moment, a message came from the depths of Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness; after a night of Dual Cultivation, he sensed that the True Essence within his body had increased tremendously.

If he had been cultivating diligently on his own, he feared it would have taken at least several months to increase his True Essence energy even a little bit.

But now, after just one night of Dual Cultivation, his cultivation had improved.

If this were to continue, it would likely not take long before he could advance to the Qi Refining Third Layer.

The reason for such rapid progress was, naturally, Ji Bingyu.

Because she was a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator, the True Essence in her body was countless times more vast than his; even if only a tiny bit was infused into him, it allowed him to benefit immensely.

This was equivalent to taking a Qi Replenishing Pill every day, and it was a pill without any side effects at all.

Without a doubt, the power of the Infatuation Gu was simply beyond imagination; having obtained the Infatuation Gu, it was even more miraculous than any Dual Cultivation technique, allowing their powers to merge into one and be thoroughly integrated.

More importantly, Zhou Sui sensed that a great deal of knowledge regarding Sword Dao had appeared in the depths of his sea of consciousness; if he were to swallow and digest all this Sword Dao knowledge, he too could become a Sword Dao expert.

"Husband, you are truly amazing."

Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with deep affection, her beautiful eyes filled with love.

Although the repeated Dual Cultivation did not improve her cultivation, she sensed that the power of her Spiritual Sense was constantly growing; it seemed that if this continued, it could grow into a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sense.

For her future Foundation Establishment, this was of immense benefit.

The reason for such a benefit was naturally Zhou Sui's massive Soul power; because he was a transmigrator, his Soul power was exceptionally strong, incomparable to that of ordinary Cultivators.

Her love grew more and more intense, almost reaching the point of being undying.

"By the way, Yu'er, since we are married, can you tell me where you are actually from?" Zhou Sui asked with great curiosity, as he still did not know where Ji Bingyu was from.

As his Dao Companion, he naturally had an obligation to understand everything about her.

"I am from the Ji Family of the Jin Kingdom, and the Ji Family was once a Golden Core family."

Ji Bingyu explained: "But unfortunately, because our Ji Family Ancestor died after exhausting their Longevity, and no new Golden Core Real Person was born in a short time, our Ji Family became coveted by external enemies."

As a result, on a dark and windy night, our Ji Family was attacked by another Golden Core family, the Ouyang Clan, and so the entire family was completely wiped out.

Fortunately, the Ji Family had long known of this possibility, so they had dispersed the clansmen to various places in advance, and as a member of the direct line, I fled with my parents.

It is a pity that the Ouyang Clan did not let us go, constantly sending Cultivators to hunt us down; as a result, my clansmen died one by one, including my parents, and in the end, only I, Ji Bingyu, remained.

To avoid the pursuit of the Ouyang Clan, I traveled a long distance and left the Jin Kingdom, sleeping in the open and eating in the wind along the way, encountering countless Robber Cultivators, and finally, after experiencing many fortuitous encounters, my cultivation reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer."

She briefly explained her background.

"This!"

Zhou Sui widened his eyes; although he had long known that Ji Bingyu's background was extraordinary, he had not expected that she came from a Golden Core family and was only forced to come to Miyun City because her family had fallen on hard times.

Compared to himself, Ji Bingyu's background was truly illustrious.

Of course, her enemies were also quite terrifying, being a family that possessed Golden Core Cultivators; their strength was likely no less than the overlord of the surrounding ten thousand miles, the Xianxia Sect, which was a behemoth.

If the people of the Ouyang Clan were to discover Ji Bingyu, it would likely lead to a succession of pursuits.

"Don't worry, Husband. I was only a small person in the Ji Family back then, and I was never even noticed by the Ouyang Clan. Moreover, twenty years have passed since the Ji Family was destroyed, so they have likely forgotten about me long ago."

Ji Bingyu said.

She was only thirty-five years old now, which meant that the destruction of her family occurred when she was about fifteen.

"Do you want to take revenge?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"Of course I do, but I also have self-awareness. Blind revenge is nothing but seeking one's own death. Unless I can become a Golden Core Cultivator, this hatred can only be hidden, even if it means hiding it for a lifetime."

Ji Bingyu was very open-minded.

After twenty years of life on the run, although she still hated the Ouyang Clan, she was not as impulsive as she was when she was young.

If she did not have absolute certainty, she would not return to the Jin Kingdom.

So now, her goal was to improve her own cultivation.

"Why not join the Xianxia Sect? Given your aptitude, Yu'er, joining those sects should be a very simple matter, right?" Zhou Sui knew that Ji Bingyu's aptitude was not simple; she had a Five-element Spiritual Root, which belonged to the level of medium-grade spiritual roots.

Such talent, even within the Xianxia Sect, would be considered a genius Disciple.

If she revealed her talent, it would be as easy as turning over one's hand for Ji Bingyu to join the Xianxia Sect.

"Let's forget about that. I don't lack heritage; the Ji Family itself had Golden Core heritage. If I joined the Xianxia Sect, I might expose my techniques, or even expose my identity."

"After all, for the Xianxia Sect, the Jin Kingdom, which is tens of thousands of miles away, is practically right next door. Surely someone there knows of the existence of my Ji Family, so it is better not to take the risk."

"Although being a Loose Cultivator is a bit difficult, it is very free."

Ji Bingyu explained.

"I see. Then what about your two sisters? How did you get to know them?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

"As for that, that is another story."

Ji Bingyu smiled slightly: "Although I would very much like to tell you, Husband, this is the privacy of my two sisters. If there is an opportunity in the future, perhaps they will tell you themselves, but for now, I can only keep it a secret."

She indicated that this was, after all, the privacy of her two sisters, and it was not convenient to tell others.

"Alright."

Zhou Sui nodded; although he also felt it was a pity, he understood.

After all, who doesn't have a few secrets? There was no need to get to the bottom of everything.

Perhaps when the Sub-Gu of the Infatuation Gu on his body is nurtured again, he will be able to know the secrets of the other two women.
