109: Chapter 109 Another Beautiful Wife

Lu Jiajing's delicate body trembled slightly. She raised her hazy, beautiful eyes to look at him, a trace of surprise in them: "Young Gentleman, are your words... true? But you... don't you already have that young lady?"

Ye Xiaoyao smiled, his fingers brushing through her disheveled long hair, and said frankly: "Isn't that what you said yourself, Sister? As for a Dao Companion, what harm is there in having one more? Furthermore, I possess the Pure Yang Sacred Body; having a few more Dao Companions allows me to... take care of everyone thoroughly."

He patted his firm chest, signaling that his "assets" were substantial and his energy was abundant.

Seeing this, Lu Jiajing was stunned at first, then couldn't help but giggle, her body trembling like a flower in the wind. The movement tugged at her sore spots, causing her to hiss softly before she chided: "You, Young Gentleman~~ So you are a greedy one after all. I, your sister, actually thought you were an honest man~~"

Ye Xiaoyao looked at her with burning eyes: "How about it? Sister Lu... are you willing?"

Lu Jiajing restrained her laughter, her eyes shimmering with brilliance as she gazed at Ye Xiaoyao's handsome face.

As the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, she cultivated the Dual Cultivation method using a Cauldron. To her, the Pure Yang Sacred Body was a peerless Opportunity. If she could stay by his side and engage in Dual Cultivation, it would be of immense benefit to her cultivation progress.

More importantly, the time they spent together, Ye Xiaoyao's wit, composure, and even his "domineering" nature just now, had caused her heart, which had never truly fluttered for anyone, to ripple.

She extended her slender finger and lightly tapped the tip of Ye Xiaoyao's nose, her voice soft and charming yet serious: "I am naturally willing, but... I wonder if that young lady of yours, and Younger Sister Yunshuang whom you mentioned... would they agree?"

Thoughts raced through Ye Xiaoyao's mind. The matter had reached this point; the deed was done. Chaner, Shuanger, and the others... should be able to understand his difficult situation and the needs of the Pure Yang Sacred Body.

He looked solemn and promised Lu Jiajing: "Rest assured, Jinger, I will explain it to them clearly. Moreover, you and Shuanger already know each other, so I imagine you will get along harmoniously in the future."

Lu Jiajing had long guessed that Liu Yunshuang's Nascent Soul Formation had something to do with Ye Xiaoyao. Now, hearing him admit it himself and frankly refer to her as a "Dao Companion," the last bit of doubt in her heart dissipated.

She blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Mn, Younger Sister Yunshuang and I were indeed very close as sisters in our early years, but later we grew apart due to Sect affairs. Once I successfully complete this seclusion for Nascent Soul Formation, I will definitely go to explain it to her personally. I imagine she will be able to understand."

"Good." Seeing her agreement, Ye Xiaoyao was overjoyed. He couldn't help but pat her bottom again, then planted a kiss on her still-flushed cheek.

Lu Jiajing leaned into his embrace, looked up, and called out softly: "Husband~~"

This call was full of tenderness and intoxicating, making Ye Xiaoyao's heart flutter with immense satisfaction. He had "tricked" another peerless Dao Companion at the Core Formation Late Stage!

After they spent a moment in intimacy, Ye Xiaoyao remembered the important matter: "Jinger, our top priority is to find the exit and leave this Secret Realm."

Lu Jiajing shook her head, her jade hands wrapping around his waist, and said softly: "Husband, why must we rush to leave? The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is so dense and pure, and there is no one to disturb us; it is the perfect place for seclusion and cultivation. Since I have already obtained the essence of pure yang, I wish to go into seclusion right here and attempt to form my Nascent Soul."

She paused, looked at Ye Xiaoyao, her beautiful eyes shining: "Moreover, Husband, you are now at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Peak, and you have also obtained my primordial yin. Your foundation is sufficient, so why not try to form your Golden Core here as well? If we can succeed in one go, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyao's heart stirred. Indeed, his Realm was already at Perfection, and having received the nourishment of the primordial yin from two women with special Physiques, his accumulation for Core Formation was already sufficient. This Lesser Grotto-Heaven was safe and secret, with abundant Spiritual Qi; it was indeed a treasure land for seclusion and Breakthrough.

"Good!" He immediately decided, "Then we shall follow what Jinger says. We will go into seclusion right here and seek a Breakthrough!"

Seeing him agree, Lu Jiajing smiled sweetly and leaned on his shoulder: "Mn~~, with Husband at the Foundation Establishment Peak and Core Formation imminent, I can also refine an item for you to give you a helping hand."

"Oh?" Ye Xiaoyao was curious.

"It is that Thousand-Year Fierce Yang Flower you risked your life to pick earlier." Lu Jiajing explained: "This flower is a supreme yang Spiritual Plant. I can refine it into a Pure Yang Pill. Once Husband consumes it, it will not only greatly enhance the Pure Yang Origin within your body but also be of great help in impacting the Core Formation Stage."

Ye Xiaoyao's eyes lit up: "Jinger, you can also perform Alchemy?"

Lu Jiajing nodded quite proudly: "I know a thing or two. Rest assured, Husband, just leave it to me."

Although the Joyful Union Sect was famous for using Cauldrons for harvesting and supplementing, as the Sect Master, Lu Jiajing also had deep attainments in Alchemy, Formations, and other areas; otherwise, it would have been difficult to support such a large Sect.

Ye Xiaoyao immediately took out the cold jade box containing the Fierce Yang Flower from his Storage Pouch and solemnly handed it to Lu Jiajing.

Lu Jiajing took it and then retrieved several auxiliary Spirit Medicines she had already prepared from her own Storage Pouch, along with a palm-sized yet ancient and exquisite crimson Pill Furnace.

She sat cross-legged, her expression serious, and ignited a spirit fire at her fingertips to begin Alchemy. Her movements were smooth like flowing water, her fire control was precise, and her grasp of the Fusion of medicinal properties was perfect. She was clearly well-versed in this path.

Ye Xiaoyao watched quietly from the side, feeling increasingly satisfied. This new Dao Companion was not only beautiful and alluring with profound cultivation, but she also possessed such excellent Alchemy skills. It seemed he would not have to worry about the Medicinal Pills needed for his future cultivation.

A few hours later. The Pill Furnace vibrated slightly, and a rich, intense, yet balanced medicinal fragrance permeated the air. The furnace lid opened, and a dragon-eye-sized pill, entirely crimson gold with cloud patterns flowing on its surface, flew out and was steadily caught by Lu Jiajing in a jade bottle.

"Husband, I have successfully completed the task." Lu Jiajing handed the jade bottle to Ye Xiaoyao, her brow slightly beaded with sweat; evidently, the Alchemy had also consumed quite a bit of her mental energy.

Ye Xiaoyao took it and poured out the Pure Yang Pill to examine it closely. The quality of the Medicinal Pill was excellent, with inner Spiritual Qi, and the surging supreme yang power did not show any signs of violence. It was definitely a High Grade Spirit Pill.

"Jinger's Alchemy skills are truly remarkable! This husband thanks you!" He praised her sincerely, full of joy, and couldn't help but pull Lu Jiajing over and plant a heavy kiss on her smooth forehead.

Lu Jiajing was stunned by his kiss, then her cheeks flushed, and she chided coquettishly: "Husband... are you going to mess around again? I... I still need to rest..."

She thought Ye Xiaoyao had tasted the sweetness and wanted to drag her into Dual Cultivation again.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyao laughed, let her go, and explained: "Where did your thoughts go, Jinger? How could I be such an insatiable person? You just expended energy on Alchemy, so how could I not be considerate? I just saw how hard you worked on the Alchemy and wanted to reward you. Let us begin our seclusion now; the sooner we break through, the sooner we can leave this place."

Lu Jiajing only then realized she had misunderstood. While feeling shy, she also felt warmth in her heart. She leaned into Ye Xiaoyao's arms, looked up, and said softly: "Mn, I will listen to you, Husband."

The two cuddled and spent a moment in intimacy, then separated by several feet, sat cross-legged, adjusted their breathing, gathered their minds, and prepared to enter a deep state of seclusion.

The three sets of Formations laid out earlier were still operating stably, capable of concealing their aura and figures without hindering the influx of external Spiritual Qi, providing them with an excellent environment for seclusion.

There are no days or months in the Secret Realm; time passed quietly in the silent cultivation.

...

More than a month later. While sitting cross-legged, the aura around Ye Xiaoyao's body suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had been absorbed steadily seemed to be subjected to some kind of strong attraction, beginning to gather toward him frantically, forming a visible Spiritual Qi vortex above his head.

The vortex rotated slowly, pulling in Spiritual Qi from further away, its range constantly expanding.

Inside his body, within his Dantian, the lake of liquid Spiritual Qi, which had already condensed to the extreme, began to boil and compress violently. Countless amounts of pure Spiritual Qi, guided by some mysterious force, collapsed and condensed frantically toward a single point in the center.

The critical moment of Core Formation—condensing liquid into crystal, forming the Golden Core—had finally arrived!

The surging Spiritual Qi poured in, and strange Dao rhythms faintly appeared around Ye Xiaoyao. The Spiritual Qi of the entire Lesser Grotto-Heaven was stirred, forming a huge Spiritual Qi storm with him at the center.

In the center of the storm, Ye Xiaoyao looked solemn and dignified, and a faint golden halo began to appear on his body. That was a sign that the Origin of the Pure Yang Sacred Body had been completely activated.

Lu Jiajing, who was nearby, was also awakened from her deep state of meditation by this commotion. She opened her beautiful eyes, looked at the astonishing phenomenon caused by Ye Xiaoyao, a trace of amazement and anticipation flashing in her eyes, then quickly closed her eyes again, silently acting as his Protector, while accelerating the absorption of the increasingly active Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi stirred up by Ye Xiaoyao, preparing for her own Nascent Soul Formation that would follow.

The Secret Realm was deep and secluded, and time passed silently. An important transformation concerning both their paths of the Dao was quietly taking place within this unknown Lesser Grotto-Heaven.
