(Reviewer, all the marked issues have been corrected, this is the fourth revision, please approve it.)

Xin Ruyin sat cross-legged on the futon, placing a thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng into her mouth. The Spiritual Plant melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed down her throat and into her limbs and bones.

Her hands and feet, which had been cold due to depleted Qi and Blood, gradually warmed up.

She picked up another one and consumed it.

The immense medicinal power spread within her body, flushing out the Meridians that were blocked due to the clash of Yin and Yang, allowing her to feel a trace of strength after a long time.

Xin Ruyin dared not delay and immediately activated her basic Cultivation Technique, attempting to guide and refine this Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi flowed through her Meridians, smoothly at first, but when she tried to Breakthrough to Qi Refining seventh layer, a familiar stinging pain came from deep within her Meridians, causing her to let out a muffled groan, cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

As expected, it still wouldn’t work.

The Yin and Yang conflict brought by the Dragon's Roar Body was like a maggot in the bone, something that couldn’t be eradicated by mere thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

Even so, she was already content.

To have the strength to get out of bed and walk around, to be able to feel the existence of Spiritual Qi again, this was already a blessing she dared not hope for before.

Just like that, Xin Ruyin temporarily settled down in Lin Feng’s Immortal Cave.

At night, she studied Formations in the quiet room.

During the day, she would leave the quiet room to seek guidance from Han Yunzhi on Cultivation issues.

“Sister Yunzhi, why does the Spiritual Power circulation of this spell always get stuck here?”

Beside the small medicinal garden behind the Immortal Cave, Xin Ruyin pointed at a Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, humbly asking for advice.

Han Yunzhi leaned over to take a look and explained with a smile, “Sister Ruyin, your direction here is wrong. It should first sink into the Dantian, and then ascend from there. Look, like this…”

She extended her slender jade finger and gently tapped Xin Ruyin’s lower abdomen, a gentle Spiritual Power passing over, guiding the faint Qi flow within her body.

Han Yunzhi had no animosity towards this new sister.

She could see that Xin Ruyin was frail and sickly, with an unresolved sorrow always lingering between her brows, evoking pity.

In just a day or two, the two had already started calling each other sisters and became much closer.

For Xin Ruyin, this feeling was even more novel.

She had been bedridden since childhood, her circle pitifully small. Besides her maid Xiaomei, the only person she could talk to was Qi Yunxiao, who became dull except when discussing Formations.

Meeting her new friend Han Yunzhi, her enthusiasm and cheerfulness were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating her long-darkened heart.

This afternoon, the mountain breeze was gentle.

The two women walked side by side on the hillside behind the Immortal Cave, verdant mountains stretching beneath their feet, and clouds rolling and unrolling in the distance.

“The scenery in Huangfeng Valley is truly beautiful,” Xin Ruyin murmured softly, a hint of color appearing on her pale face.

“Yes, it is. This is a new place Young Master chose after his Foundation Establishment,” Han Yunzhi replied with a smile.

Xin Ruyin was silent for a moment, then asked casually, “Sister Yunzhi, what do you think… Senior is like?”

“You mean Young Master?”

Han Yunzhi stopped, turned her head to look at her, her face filled with undisguised tenderness.

“Young Master has been very good to me. If not for Young Master, I would have died in the Blood Forbidden Ground long ago. How could I be here today?”

Xin Ruyin’s heart stirred upon hearing this, and she probed further, “Then… has Senior ever forced you to do anything?”

“Forced?”

Han Yunzhi’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly, seemingly displeased with the word.

“I am Young Master’s maid to begin with; serving Young Master is only natural. Moreover…”

A blush spread across her cheeks, and her voice lowered.

“Yunzhi has long been devoted to Young Master, so how can there be any talk of forcing?”

She paused, then as if remembering something, she casually said, “However, in the past year, quite a few female cultivators have come to this Immortal Cave looking for Young Master.”

So that’s how it is.

Xin Ruyin’s last shred of hope completely vanished.

This Senior was generous to her, yet unwilling to take her as a disciple. As expected… he harbored such intentions.

And she, it seemed, was not the first.

“Sister Ruyin? What’s wrong?” Han Yunzhi asked concernedly when she suddenly fell silent.

Xin Ruyin snapped back to attention, pulling at the corners of her mouth to force a somewhat strained smile.

“Nothing, I’m just a little tired. Sister Yunzhi, it’s getting late, let’s go back.”

“Mm, okay!”

Han Yunzhi didn’t think much of it, took her hand, and the two women walked hand in hand towards the Immortal Cave.

…

Inside the main quiet room.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, Spiritual Qi surging around him, rising and falling like tides.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

Feeling the two auras entering outside the Immortal Cave, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

He hadn’t expected Han Yunzhi and Xin Ruyin to get along so well.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

“There are still a few days until the Yan Family Fortress Treasure-Snatching Assembly.”

He muttered to himself, a glint in his eyes.

These past few days, he had been consuming various Medicinal Pills as if they were candy.

Just now, he had Breakthrough to the Late Stage Perfection of Core Formation.

He was just one step away from reaching Core Formation Perfection, then he could attempt to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

However, he didn’t plan to forcefully stack Medicinal Pills for this final Bottleneck. Instead, he intended to let nature take its course and wait for an opportunity.

The day he naturally Breakthrough to Core Formation Perfection would be the time to condense his Nascent Soul.

…

The night was as dark as ink, without stars or moon.

The three people within the Immortal Cave each harbored their own thoughts.

Inside Lin Feng’s quiet room, he was shirtless, hot steam rising from his bronzed skin, his muscles clearly defined and full of power.

He was Cultivating the [Demonic Throat Body]; each breath was accompanied by a faint crackling of bones and sinews.

“Thump, thump.”

A soft knock on the door sounded, interrupting his Cultivation.

Lin Feng thought it was Han Yunzhi again, unable to bear her loneliness, and couldn’t help but smile.

He casually replied, “Yunzhi, why are you still awake so late? Come in!”

The stone door creaked open slowly.

However, the figure that walked in made Lin Feng’s movements halt.

The visitor was not Han Yunzhi, but Xin Ruyin.

She had changed out of her simple white dress and put on a translucent, pale pink nightgown with a spaghetti strap design, completely exposing her smooth, fragrant shoulders and delicate collarbones to the air.

The shallow cleavage on her chest, faintly visible in the dim candlelight, invited imagination.

Their eyes met.

The air seemed to solidify.

Lin Feng’s gaze was the first to shy away.

“So it’s Ruyin… It’s so late, are you perhaps confused about Formations?”

He quickly took out an outer robe from his Storage Pouch, preparing to put it on.

Unexpectedly, Xin Ruyin spoke.

Her voice carried a barely perceptible tremor.

“Senior, there’s no need for that.”

“Ruyin is here… to fulfill Senior’s desires.”

Before her words finished, something that made Lin Feng’s Bloodline surge happened.

Xin Ruyin swayed slightly, and the already flimsy nightgown slipped from her shoulders.

A body, sculpted like white jade, was thus completely exposed before Lin Feng’s eyes.

Long-term illness made her body appear somewhat thin, but this only added a touch of delicate charm.

And the curves that should be there were not lacking in the slightest; on the contrary, due to her slender waist, they appeared even more breathtaking.

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.

His original intention was to boil the frog slowly, thinking that at least after the Yan Family Fortress trip, he would let her develop some dependence and affection for him, and then proceed gradually.

Yet, he hadn’t expected this woman to be so incredibly intelligent, discerning his intentions in just three days, and… approaching him so boldly and proactively.

Seeing Lin Feng just staring at her, silent, Xin Ruyin’s heart beat even faster.

She mustered her courage, took a step forward, her voice carrying a hint of provocation.

“Doesn’t Senior just want this body? Why… aren’t you taking it?”

She walked closer, step by step, slowly.

Lin Feng looked at her feigned composure, so arrogant, and felt a surge of annoyance.

He no longer pretended.

“Since Miss Ruyin has this idea, then I shall comply with you.”

He suddenly stood up and swept Xin Ruyin, who had walked in front of him, into his arms.

Xin Ruyin let out a gasp, feeling the world spin, and in the next moment, she was carried by Lin Feng into a more spacious bedroom.

He roughly tossed her onto the soft bed, then flipped onto it himself, quickly shedding his clothes to reveal himself.

Xin Ruyin looked at the strong body full of masculine aura pressing down on her, feeling his scorching breath, still trying to maintain her composure.

Still pretending?

He leaned down, grabbed her fragrant shoulders, and without a word, fiercely kissed her slightly parted cherry lips.

“Mmm!”

Xin Ruyin’s eyes instantly widened.

She was only twenty-one this year, ignorant of matters between men and women; the Dao of Formations was almost her entire life.

In her mind, Dual Cultivation was merely a transaction: she offered her body in exchange for the hope of survival and the opportunity to study the Dao of Formations.

But at this moment, Lin Feng’s domineering kiss, his tongue wantonly plundering her mouth, left her mind blank.

A never-before-felt sensation of tingling and trembling spread from her lips and teeth, instantly encompassing her entire body.

Her cheeks, finally, flushed red.

When the kiss ended, Lin Feng did not stop.

He skillfully moved, explored, and ignited her body.

“Mm…”

Xin Ruyin could no longer maintain her composure, a suppressed gasp escaping her lips.

She felt as if her body no longer belonged to her, transforming into a spring puddle, constantly rippling under his teasing.

Lin Feng’s skills had already been perfected on the master and disciple pair from the Yanyue Sect.

How could Xin Ruyin, an innocent maiden, resist?

After an hour-long foreplay.

When Lin Feng finally stopped, Xin Ruyin was already in a daze, her mind a Chaos, her eyes blankly staring upwards, unconsciously panting.

Lin Feng looked at the woman beneath him, already lost in passion, and smiled inwardly.

…

“Ah!”

Xin Ruyin awoke from her daze.

She arched her body in pain, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Her body was already weak, and it was her first time, how could she endure Lin Feng?

Seeing this, Lin Feng formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and a pink rune appeared out of thin air, gently pressing onto Xin Ruyin’s lower abdomen.

Warm Spiritual Power spread, and the intense pain immediately lessened significantly.

He leaned down and whispered gently in her ear, “Bear with it; once you get used to it, it’ll be fine.”

After speaking, he didn’t give her time to react…

One thousand words omitted here.

That night, the room was filled with endless spring colors, and gasps of pleasure continued throughout the night.
