Chapter 14: Subduing You, This Little Enchantress
"Alright, the Spirit Energy within your body has gathered quite a bit; take this opportunity to break through. Hurry back to Qingyu Peak and call the three Great Elders to guard you."
Jiang Xun then gently stroked Tu Qing's head and said.
"I will listen to Senior Brother."
Tu Qing nodded, then stood up to pick up the clothes on the ground.
"I will try my best to emerge from seclusion within five days. If I haven't come out, Senior Brother, please take Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun to Xuwang Mountain."
After dressing, Tu Qing picked up Jiang Xun's clothes from the ground and said while helping Jiang Xun put them on.
"Alright." Jiang Xun nodded: "First, congratulations to Junior Sister on breaking through to Spirit Severing."
"If I fail the Tribulation Transcendence and turn into an old hag, will Senior Brother despise me?" Tu Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of worry upon hearing this.
She was not afraid of losing her cultivation, only that Jiang Xun would grow tired of her.
"What are you saying? Junior Sister has never despised me, so how could I despise Junior Sister." Jiang Xun laughed, then took out a Youth-Preserving Pill: "Take this Youth-Preserving Pill; even if you fail the Tribulation Transcendence, you will not grow old."
"Hateful, Senior Brother really would despise me!"
Seeing this, Tu Qing glared at Jiang Xun, but still accepted the Youth-Preserving Pill.
"Don't be glib. It is clear that you are the one who doesn't want to grow old. Besides, Junior Sister's current cultivation will surely succeed in breaking through; do not worry needlessly."
Jiang Xun pinched Tu Qing's soft waist and said.
"Oh."
Tu Qing said no more and swallowed the Youth-Preserving Pill.
"Then I am leaving."
Seeing Jiang Xun nod, Tu Qing vanished instantly before Jiang Xun.
【Ding, Youth-Preserving Pill gifted successfully!】
【Obtained: Top-grade Youth Preservation Pill.】
"Phew..."
After Tu Qing left, Jiang Xun could finally catch his breath. On the surface, Tu Qing looked cold and detached, but she practiced the Desire Entanglement Art; once her lustful urges flared up, she might not even be able to control herself.
Once she found a place to vent those lustful urges, it would truly be life-threatening.
If Tu Qing were not practicing Dual Cultivation with Jiang Xun, who practiced the Yin Yang Hehuan Art, other men would likely be turned into dried meat before they could last even the time it takes to drink a cup of tea in her hands.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Xun stood up and walked into the room, sitting cross-legged on the bed to regulate his internal breath.
He did not need to eat; he could satisfy his hunger by absorbing the Spirit Energy of heaven and earth.
This included all cultivators who had reached the Golden Core Stage; they could rely on the continuous power provided by their Golden Core, and their need for food was basically zero.
"Master!"
Just as Jiang Xun sat on the bed, a hand reached out from under the bed and shouted, giving Jiang Xun a start.
"Holy shit!"
Jiang Xun was so startled that his native language slipped out.
His whole body gave a jolt.
"Hehe, I scared you."
Gu Qing poked her head out from under the bed.
"Gu Qing? When did you arrive?"
Seeing it was Gu Qing, Jiang Xun caught his breath: "You aren't afraid of scaring my old bones to pieces."
"I arrived a long time ago. Seeing you and Junior Martial Aunt going at it so intensely, I didn't have the heart to disturb you." Gu Qing crawled out from under the bed and laughed.
"... No wonder, no wonder Tu Qing became more and more vigorous later on; so it was because she knew you were there." Jiang Xun felt very helpless upon hearing this.
The first hour was cultivation, but the second hour, Jiang Xun thought she was enjoying herself; it turned out it was to spite Gu Qing.
"Today, seeing Master practicing Dual Cultivation with Lin Qingwan made me feel so itchy and impatient, so I quietly came to find Master. I didn't expect Junior Martial Aunt to be here too; it was so uncomfortable to watch."
Gu Qing pressed against Jiang Xun's chest and rubbed against it as if acting like a spoiled child.
"You little enchantress."
Jiang Xun's internal breath, which he had finally managed to stabilize, was almost thrown into chaos again by Gu Qing.
"Master, come and subdue this little enchantress."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing rested one hand on the bed, lifted her skirt with the other, and blinked at Jiang Xun.
"Then today, this master shall act as a sect disciple who eliminates demons and defends the Dao, and subdue you, this little enchantress!"
Seeing this, how could Jiang Xun hold back? He lunged straight at her.
The next morning, when Jiang Xun woke up, Gu Qing in his arms was already gone.
Jiang Xun yawned and got up to wash.
Being forced to practice by several women all day yesterday actually allowed Jiang Xun to get a rare good night's sleep.
"Senior, are you awake?"
While Jiang Xun was washing, the voice of Qin Miaoyin came into his mind.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Xun nodded.
"Senior... have you heard of Xuwang Mountain?"
Qin Miaoyin asked immediately upon hearing him.
"I have heard of it."
Jiang Xun nodded.
"Then, do you know that the Xuwang Mountain Secret Realm is about to open! There are many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside! Will you be going, Senior?"
"I have such intentions."
"So envious... I want to go too, but unfortunately my Master won't let me."
Qin Miaoyin sighed.
"Who did your Baiyun Sect send?"
Jiang Xun finished washing up and asked while changing his clothes.
The Baiyun Sect is ranked among the Ten Great Sects; it is not an ordinary small sect or faction, and its status in the cultivation world is still quite high.
Considering the overall strength of the entire sect, it is much stronger than the Lingerie-Sect.
As for the current Lingerie-Sect, the strongest, Ruo Lan, is in seclusion, Jiang Xun has lost his cultivation, and the sect has no Grandmaster, so its strength has been greatly discounted, and it has also fallen out of the Ten Great Sects.
The one that replaced the Lingerie-Sect as one of the Ten Great Sects is the Baihua Sect.
The situation of the Baihua Sect is similar to that of the Lingerie-Sect; the sect is almost entirely female disciples, and male disciples can only plant flowers and grass in the outermost gates and are not allowed to enter the inner gates.
The only difference is that the Baihua Sect does not practice Dual Cultivation and does not engage in harvesting.
As for where the Lingerie-Sect's Grandmaster went, they suddenly disappeared three hundred years ago; no one knows where they went, and they were Ruo Lan's Master, which is to say, Jiang Xun's Grandmaster.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know them."
Qin Miaoyin replied upon hearing this.
"What if I do know them?"
Jiang Xun smiled.
"It is my senior brother, Zhuo Yang, my second senior brother Bai Mingliang, and my senior sister, Pei Shulan."
Senior brother Zhuo Yang?
Zhuo Yang is the eldest disciple of the Baiyun Sect leader, with a cultivation at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
In that case, this Qin Miaoyin is also a disciple of the sect leader; looking at her age, she might even be the sect leader's closing disciple.
She is truly worthy of being an SSS-rank Child of Luck.
As for Bai Mingliang, he is at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak, and Jiang Xun has never heard of the name Pei Shulan and is not very clear about her, but her cultivation should not be lower than Nascent Soul.
The Baiyun Sect is really bleeding heavily this time.
With Nascent Soul Stage cultivators present, bringing more disciples would be futile, so three people are sufficient.
Other sects also have a tacit understanding; none of them will make a big fuss and send their entire sect to seize the Secret Realm, and basically, they all send about three disciples with profound cultivation.
"Senior, with your current cultivation, I want to say, you had better not go to this Secret Realm; if something happens..."
Qin Miaoyin was somewhat worried.
"Alright, then I will listen to Miaoyin."
Jiang Xun nodded and smiled, perfunctorily brushing it off.
【Ding, Qin Miaoyin's favorability toward the host: 85!】
Hearing that Jiang Xun was actually willing to listen to her, Qin Miaoyin was very happy.
"Sigh." Qin Miaoyin then sighed: "This struggle for the Secret Realm will inevitably lead to a slaughter; thinking that sects that usually live in harmony will come to blows over a Secret Realm, I still feel quite uncomfortable in my heart."
