Chapter 11: Fusion of Yin and Yang

To guide qi into the body, the first step was to open up the meridians inside. Last night, Chu Feng had planned to find a book to study and catch up a bit. But when he got the book, he was dumbfounded. The characters in the book were completely different!

Who said that after transmigrating to another world, you’d automatically be able to read the local language? Whoever said that, step forward!

Ahem, back to the topic…. once Chu Feng entered the tub, a sharp pain instantly shot through him.

“Feng’er, endure it. Next, I’m going to open up your meridians.”

Sword intent gathered around Lu Xiyue, then transformed into countless needles. With a flick of her fingers, each needle pierced precisely into Chu Feng’s acupoints.

“Ugh!”

Chu Feng almost cried out from the pain.

It hurts! It hurts a lot!

But at the same time, Chu Feng could clearly feel multiple warm currents flowing within his body. As they increased, the pain gradually eased.

Seeing how quickly Chu Feng was absorbing the medicinal liquid, Lu Xiyue felt deeply pleased.

Feng’er’s talent really was excellent. It was just that his spiritual root was a little lacking, not quite perfect.

Spiritual root!?

Only now did Lu Xiyue suddenly realize. At this point in time, how could Feng’er possibly have a spiritual root!?

With a sweep of her divine sense, Lu Xiyue immediately detected Chu Feng’s Yin-Yang spiritual root. It was acquired later in life and appeared somewhat unstable.

.

The Yin-Yang Root was known in the cultivation world as an extremely domineering type. Once cultivated to a certain level, even if the practitioner was on the brink of death, they could slowly recover.

However, such a root required the blending of yin and yang energies to gradually stabilize.

Without that balance, the spiritual root would slowly dissipate over time, making further breakthroughs impossible.

How could Feng’er have a Yin-Yang Root?!

This wasn’t the same as in his previous life.

Wait a moment… Feng’er only obtained the spiritual root after completing a mission with Yuyan.

Lu Xiyue suddenly recalled that the best cultivation partner for someone with a Yin-Yang Root was a woman with a Profound Jade Root…and her senior disciple, Bai Yuyan, just so happened to possess that very root.

Yuyan, oh Yuyan… so that’s what you were planning. But today, your master has discovered it.

Feng’er was currently at the most critical moment of guiding qi into his body, which was the foundation of all future cultivation. For Feng’er’s sake, it seemed the task of merging yin and yang energies would have to fall to her.

Yes! It’s absolutely not about fulfilling my own selfish desires to dual cultivate with Feng’er. This is entirely for his future!

With a soft rustling sound, a fair delicate foot slipped into the medicinal bath.

Chu Feng felt the water ripple against his body.

Someone just got in?!

Just as he was about to open his eyes, a fair delicate hand pressed down on the top of Chu Feng’s head, suddenly pushing him underwater.

Glug, glug…

But just before his head went under, Chu Feng saw it. Something white and huge.

And at the snow-peaked summit… a single plum blossom in bloom.

That one glance would be etched in his memory for a lifetime.

Of course, as his head was being shoved underwater, Chu Feng also caught a clear look at the person’s face—

Master!!

After a few moments, the fair hand finally lifted from his head. Any longer and he might’ve drowned in that tub!

Only now did Chu Feng fully take in the scene before him.

This was Lu Xiyue’s first time bathing together with Feng’er. Even with her eighth-rank cultivation, a faint blush still bloomed across her dignified and beautiful face. A trace of shyness rose in her heart as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, subtly lifting her ample curves.

Her long, black hair floated on the water with part of it resting on her body…she was half-concealed, half-revealed, making it even harder to look away.

“Feng’er!”

Feeling Chu Feng’s burning gaze, Lu Xiyue let out a soft, teasing scold.

“S-Sorry, Master!!”

Chu Feng immediately lowered his head, not daring to lift it again. If he did, there might just be two heads rising at the same time.

“M-Master, why are you…”

Chu Feng opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say next.

Lu Xiyue took a moment to calm herself. With her eighth-rank cultivation, activating the Heart-Clearing Technique should’ve been enough to restore her composure instantly.

But upon seeing Feng’er again and considering her current state…even the Heart-Clearing Technique didn’t seem all that effective anymore.

“Feng’er, this is your master helping you guide qi into your body as quickly as possible.”

“Helping me guide qi into my body?”

Chu Feng’s brain practically crashed.

There’s a method like this?! This wasn’t the Pleasure Sect, was it!?

“Of course,” Lu Xiyue replied. “Would I ever deceive you, Feng’er? Your spiritual root… it’s a Yin-Yang Root, correct?”

“Yes!” Chu Feng confirmed.

Hearing that, a faint smile curved Lu Xiyue’s crimson lips, and she slowly leaned closer.

“With a Yin-Yang Root, if you want to break through to higher realms, the fusion of yin and yang energy is essential. And the very first time is the most crucial of all.”

“I possess the Heavenly Sword Root which is comparable to an Immortal Spiritual Root. For helping you guide qi into your body… I’m the most suitable partner you could possibly have.”

Lu Xiyue’s delicate face drew closer to Chu Feng until their foreheads touched. Faint radiance spilled forth.

In that instant, a dual cultivation technique surged into Chu Feng’s mind. With his broad theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, he grasped it immediately.

“Master, I—”

Just as Chu Feng was about to speak after receiving the technique, that graceful, exceptionally beautiful face leaned in, and his stunning master sealed his lips with a kiss.

After a long moment, their lips parted, and both pairs of eyes were hazy with daze and desire.

Chu Feng tried to speak, but a slender finger pressed lightly against his lips.

“Feng’er, don’t speak.”

Lu Xiyue’s graceful body began to flush with a rosy glow.

Before long, accompanied by a low moan, yin and yang energies began to intertwine.

***

When the crescent moon rose, heralding the arrival of night, Chu Feng sat obediently on one side while Lu Xiyue sat on the other.

Neither spoke a word. After all, Chu Feng had not only been rude to his master but had also committed the great transgression of letting her taste the fiery passion unique to youth.

He had promised himself he would respect his master…

“Feng’er.”

“Ah, yes!”

“Circulate your qi.”

“O-Okay.”

Chu Feng closed his eyes and clearly felt the power coursing within him, as though he could shatter stone with a single punch.

When Lu Xiyue saw Chu Feng close his eyes, the cold facade she had been putting on instantly collapsed and her face flushed red.

With her help, Feng’er not only successfully drew qi into his body but even broke through in one breath to the late stage of First Rank.

If she hadn’t snapped out of her dazed state at the very last moment, Feng’er would have been unable to withstand the overwhelming power and his body would have exploded on the spot.

Speaking of the Yin-Yang Spiritual Root, Lu Xiyue thought she really ought to thank Bai Yuyan.

She was truly worthy of being her eldest disciple. She really knew how to show filial respect to her master. As a master, she had certainly accepted that gift without hesitation.

When Chu Feng opened his eyes, a trace of excitement flickered within them. But upon seeing his stunning master before him, he became at a loss, unsure of how to face her.

“Master, for my sake you actually made such a great sacrifice, I don’t even know…”

“Feng’er, since I took you as my disciple, I had already prepared myself for everything. This was nothing more than an ordinary cultivation process. There’s no need to dwell on it. From now on, whenever you need to break through a realm, come to me.”

Even as she said this, Lu Xiyue couldn’t help blushing.

What on earth was she telling Feng’er? Didn’t that make it sound like she was… that kind of person…?

“Ah!”

Hearing his master’s words, Chu Feng froze. Every breakthrough would require this? In that case…

Chu Feng’s gaze unconsciously drifted toward his master’s slender waist. Could it be that, in the future… it might grow bigger?
