This time, they had been in dual cultivation for an unknown duration, until one clear morning, Xu Ziqing woke up from his slumber.

At that moment, he was leaning against someone, completely naked, without a st.i.tch on him.

Inside him, there was still something filling him up, creating a sense of swelling that made him slightly uneasy.

Xu Ziqing froze for a moment before realizing where he was, and his face immediately flushed a light red.

He recalled the vivid scenes from their entwined dual cultivation, and embarra.s.sment suddenly welled up in his heart. For a moment, he couldn’t even remember how much benefit he had gained during that time.

Indeed, it was… a bit too much.

At that moment, a calm male voice came from above him: “Ziqing.”

Xu Ziqing lifted his head in response and saw Yun Lie lying at the head of the bed, one arm wrapped around him.

At this moment, his s.h.i.+xiong had just opened his eyes, likely having been resting before.

Yun Lie had long since woken up.

Xu Ziqing felt slightly embarra.s.sed but managed a faint smile: “s.h.i.+xiong.”

Yun Lie nodded: “Are you awake?”

Xu Ziqing nodded, asking, “What time is it…?”

Yun Lie replied, “Eighty-one days have pa.s.sed.”

Xu Ziqing was stunned.

Eighty-one days… had it been that long?

Though he knew that the marriage of cultivators was different from that of mortals, hearing the time still astonished him a bit.

Recalling the overwhelming pleasure from their merging of primordial spirits, he couldn’t help but feel the heat rising to his face.

However, since he had decided to get up, Xu Ziqing propped himself up, but as soon as he did, he froze again.

He realized that the thing inside him had become even harder, suddenly recalling how he and his s.h.i.+xiong appeared at that moment, leaving him feeling somewhat fl.u.s.tered.

Seeing this, Yun Lie stepped back slightly, gently withdrawing the hardness from Xu Ziqing’s body.

Xu Ziqing felt the strange sensation, which was increasingly torturous.

Yun Lie then said, “Since we are partners on this path, dual cultivation is entirely normal; you need not be so fl.u.s.tered.”

Xu Ziqing felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. After that thing was withdrawn, he heard a soft sound, making him even more embarra.s.sed.

He even forgot to respond with his usual “Yes, s.h.i.+xiong.”

Only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath, nearly gasping for air.

After separating from Xu Ziqing, Yun Lie got out of bed with great composure, not feeling that there was anything inappropriate about being exposed.

He raised his hand, putting on his inner clothing, and with another gesture, draped a long white robe over himself.

Thus, he returned to his usual attire.

At that moment, Xu Ziqing regained his composure and, after a brief pause, stood up to dress.

As soon as he stood on the ground, he noticed that while the feeling of fullness behind him had not yet dissipated, there were no other unusual sensations or dampness… During their dual cultivation, he had clearly sensed his s.h.i.+xiong’s release within him, but now it was all gone. However, as he recalled how it had disappeared, he felt even more embarra.s.sed.¹IT’S BEEN ABSORBED OMGGG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Quickly calming his mind, he dispersed those emotions.

Once both were dressed, Yun Lie walked over and took his hand.

They then walked out of the stone chamber together.

After dual cultivation, they should have gone to pay respects to their master.

The cave of the master of the Lujian Peak, Yun Lie, was located at the place where the aura of the second-tier spiritual vein was the most abundant. Since they had previously resided at the Xiaolu Peak, only Yun Lie had gone into the peak to make various arrangements. Even now, the peak remained lifeless, devoid of any vitality.

Just like Yun Lie’s sword path, which was full of killing intent but overly solitary.

Once the two stepped out of the cave entrance, they saw about a dozen feet away, Yun Zhengrui and Yun Tianheng sitting cross-legged, seemingly waiting for a long time.

The two Yun family members immediately noticed them, raising their heads and calling out:

“s.h.i.+zun, s.h.i.+shu.”

“s.h.i.+zun, Er s.h.i.+shu.²Second Uncle”

It turned out that since the day of the grand ceremony, all registered disciples, whether demon cultivators or immortal cultivators, had temporarily resided at the Xiaolu Peak, waiting for their two masters to emerge from seclusion for arrangements. However, these two disciples were ordered by Qiu He s.h.i.+zun to guard the entrance to their s.h.i.+zun’s cave.

After waiting for eighty-one days, they finally saw the faces of their two masters and all let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Zhengrui was simple-minded, and Yun Tianheng was a calm person, but at this moment, they couldn’t help but steal a glance at their elders, feeling a bit curious.

However, both of them were respectful and valued their teachers, so when they saw nothing unusual, they suppressed their thoughts.

Xu Ziqing spoke gently, “What are you two doing here?”

Yun Tianheng replied, “s.h.i.+zu³Grandmaster commanded us to stay here and guard the mountain.”

Yun Zhengrui added, “s.h.i.+zu has something that we need to hand over to s.h.i.+shu.”

Xu Ziqing was somewhat surprised. What could it be that required such urgency?

After Yun Zhengrui finished speaking, he already had a wooden box in both hands, presenting it respectfully.

At this time, Yun Tianheng supplemented, “It is a congratulatory gift from the two laozu. It was not handed to s.h.i.+zun earlier, but later needed to be pa.s.sed on by our s.h.i.+zu.”

Xu Ziqing still had doubts but reached out to take it.

Looking down, he immediately understood why his s.h.i.+zun had the two juniors guard it for him.

The wooden box was sealed with a restriction, which could only be opened by cultivators at the mid-golden core stage or above, and Qiu He, being at the mid-golden core stage, had avoided suspicion by sending these two to deliver it. Although there was no need for such caution between master and disciple, Qiu He respected these two disciples very much and, of course, cared for them even more.

Xu Ziqing waved his hand to dispel the restriction on the wooden box and lifted the lid.

Upon looking inside, he found a piece of top-grade spirit stone along with a brocade pouch. When he squeezed it, he discovered it contained dozens of seeds, each one different.

For wood-attributed cultivators, precious seeds were often very important, not to mention that a top-grade spirit stone was also extremely valuable in the hands of an ancient primordial spirit; it was surprising to receive such a gift.

This congratulatory gift was indeed very precious.

Xu Ziqing wondered who had sent it.

He asked, “Do you two know what the person who sent the gift looks like?”

The uncle and nephew had seen them with their own eyes, so they replied, “They were two young-looking elders, almost identical in appearance.”

Xu Ziqing suddenly realized.

It was the Jin brothers, Jin Cheng and Jin s.h.i.+.

Before their wedding, Xu Ziqing had felt grat.i.tude towards the Jin brothers for their past protection, which had nearly led to their deaths. In light of this important occasion, he had also sent them an invitation. Even though the brothers had a bad reputation and were considered part of the demonic path, he did not hold it against them and regarded them as benefactors he wanted to thank in person.

However, on the day of the wedding, the brothers did not appear, and Xu Ziqing a.s.sumed that the ceremony was held within the great sect of the immortal path, which was why they were unwilling to come… He thought that since the brothers had never committed any major evil and that the Wuling Immortal Sect was not one to judge right and wrong indiscriminately, they would not cause trouble for such elders. Moreover, with his s.h.i.+xiong’s standing, they should be safe. Yet, the distinction between immortals and demons was significant, and it was common for the brothers to have some reservations. Even among immortals, there were those who were bad apples and overly obsessed. With that in mind, caution was certainly warranted.

Unbeknownst to him, the two brothers had not failed to come; rather, they had not appeared publicly.

On that day, the sect master had personally descended, and many primordial spirits had emerged from the void, yet the brothers did not show themselves, which was why Xu Ziqing had not seen them.

Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly; he hadn’t sent out any thank-you gifts but had received a grand gift from the two brothers, which made him feel truly embarra.s.sed. He resolved that if they met again in the future, he would give them a piece of flesh-and-bone as a way to repay them and provide them with a safeguard for their lives.

After putting away the wooden box, he held the top-grade spirit stone in his palm and handed it to Yun Lie. “s.h.i.+xiong, you take this.”

His own cultivation was shallow, and such a precious spirit stone would naturally be more useful to his s.h.i.+xiong.

Yun Lie accepted the top-grade spirit stone without any hesitation.

After that, the two senior brothers went to Xiaozhu Peak, while the uncle Yun Tianheng and his nephew went to Xiaolu Peak.

Currently, Xiaozhu Peak only had Qiu He and his disciple Qiu Ze, while the other disciples living in the mountain, like Yue Jun, had each gone out for training and had little leisure time.

Upon entering the cave dwelling, they found Qiu He, who looked quite youthful, inside the wooden house.

Qiu He had been meditating. Upon seeing his two disciples arrive, he immediately sized them up from head to toe and, with a glimmer in his eyes, said with a smile, “Ziqing has made another breakthrough?”

Xu Ziqing responded with a smile, “Yes, I gained much from it, so…”

Seeing that his disciples looked quite well, Qiu He felt a sense of relief in his heart, especially considering that his naturally solitary and cold-hearted eldest disciple now had companions.h.i.+p on the immortal path; he felt even more comforted. “Seeing you two getting along well is a great comfort to this old man.”

Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie exchanged glances and accompanied Qiu He in conversation.

Since their s.h.i.+zun’s talent was not exceptional, although they had offered him the Busuo fruit, which would give him an eighty percent chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul, it still wasn’t a guaranteed success, and they naturally had concerns. Now, their s.h.i.+zun’s determination to pursue the Dao had strengthened, but he was still far from the path of the Nascent Soul. Thus, Yun Lie, who had already achieved Nascent Soul, would discuss the Dao with their master, providing guidance along the way.

Originally, a stronger disciple compared to a weaker master could easily create friction, but Yun Lie was upright, and Qiu He had an open mind, so no barriers arose between them. Moreover, Qiu He regarded Yun Lie as his own child, feeling only joy and pride without a hint of jealousy or resentment.

Xu Ziqing watched with a smile from the side, and when it was time to discuss his own path, he shared his insights, leading to a time of mutual enrichment. With Yun Lie mainly providing guidance, the atmosphere was truly harmonious.

They discussed the Dao for several months.

Qiu He seemed to gain some insights and intended to enter seclusion again. Although this time it wasn’t to break through to the mid-golden core stage or advance to the late golden core stage, it would still count as a minor breakthrough.

Xu Ziqing was happy for his master and left with his s.h.i.+xiong.

On their way back, the two first visited Xiaolu Peak.

Xu Ziqing now had four named disciples: Yun Tianheng, Yue Hua, Yan Hua, and Hu Xue’er. Yun Lie had two named disciples: Yun Zhengrui and Yan Shuang. They were all residing at Xiaolü Peak and, without permission, did not dare to leave the peak and go elsewhere.

Thus, when the two brothers entered the peak, they saw the six of them coming to greet them, all bowing to their master.

Xu Ziqing was pleased to see their diligent training and said, “If you succeed in establis.h.i.+ng your foundation and pa.s.s my test, you can officially join as my direct disciples, and then go to Lujian Peak to find a place to establish your cave-dwelling. At that time, whoever establishes their foundation first will take the lead, and the later arrivals can only call themselves junior brothers and sisters.”

Yun Lie glanced at Yan Shuang and Yun Zhengrui and said, “You two will be included as well.”

Upon hearing this, the named disciples exchanged glances, all extremely delighted.

Not to mention the status of being direct disciples, moving to Lujian Peak was even more attractive. The second-level spiritual vein contained far more spiritual energy than the third-level spiritual vein, by many times over!

Training there, wouldn’t they make rapid progress?

This ignited many hopes within them, wis.h.i.+ng they could immediately elevate their realms and become direct disciples!

After encouraging everyone, Xu Ziqing saw their determination and was quite satisfied, returning to Lujian Peak with Yun Lie.

He arranged the central peak to make it lush and vibrant, establis.h.i.+ng a flouris.h.i.+ng immortal domain. The restrictions and formations he set up, while different from Yun Lie’s sword formations, were just as powerful when combined.

Yun Lie let him carry on, only occasionally patching up any gaps, ensuring that the mountain-protecting formation was increasingly flawless.

From then on, this pair of Dao companions settled on the peak, diligently cultivating while also enjoying each other’s company.

Occasionally providing guidance to their disciples on difficult questions, they truly enjoyed a leisurely time for quite a while.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years had pa.s.sed.
