24: Chapter 24 Xiao Lingxue happily acquires the Immortal Sword Piaoxue
Cao Yang put away Hong and began to sit in meditation to Cultivate. There was still some time before dawn.
However, before long, Hong flew out of the ring again. It circled around the Cultivating Cao Yang and asked in confusion, "Cao Yang, why do you stay in such a weak Sect? There isn't even anyone here with a higher cultivation than you!"
Cao Yang replied with his eyes closed, "This is my Sect. My Master and Senior Sisters are all here, so of course I must stay here too."
Hong frowned and said in bewilderment, "But such a weak Sect can't provide any help for your cultivation at all!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm a Genius! Even without cultivation resources, my practice speed will be very fast!" Cao Yang said with full confidence.
Looking at Cao Yang's serious expression, Hong was half-believing. At his age and cultivation level, he could only be considered mid-level at best in the Immortal Realm, still a far cry from a true Genius.
Cao Yang continued, "Besides, our Sect is already considered a top-tier Sect in the North Province. Any more powerful Sects would likely only be found in the Central Province, but it's hard to say if even those Sects have an Immortal."
Hong remained silent for a moment before flying back into the sword within the ring.
Morning soon arrived, and Cao Yang thought to himself, "System, sign in."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, sign-in successful. You have obtained 200 years of cultivation and one Tribulation Crossing Card."
Forget it, the sign-in rewards within the Sect were becoming less and less for Cao Yang.
Cao Yang did not continue signing in. He walked out of his Immortal Cave and flew toward Fifth Senior Sister Xiao Lingxue's Immortal Cave. He had promised to give her the second Immortal sword he obtained, so naturally, he couldn't break his word.
He stopped at the entrance of Xiao Lingxue's Immortal Cave and sent a voice transmission talisman inside.
Soon, the white-clothed, white-haired Xiao Lingxue came out, her face full of joy. Although she exuded a cold aura, her slight smile was enough to topple cities and ruin states, looking like both a fairy and an angel.
"Junior Brother, you haven't come to see Senior Sister for several days. I missed you so much," Xiao Lingxue said coquettishly, then threw herself into Cao Yang's arms, feeling his warm embrace and strong heartbeat, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Cao Yang looked at the soft beauty in his arms, the corners of his mouth curling up into a doting smile. He gently stroked her hair, feeling its softness and smoothness, his heart full of love for her.
"Xue'er, haven't I been looking for an Immortal sword for you these past few days? Now that I've found one suitable for you, I hurried over to give it to you," Cao Yang said softly, his eyes sparkling with a tender light.
Hearing this, Xiao Lingxue's eyes immediately lit up. She looked up excitedly and asked with anticipation, "Junior Brother, did you really get another Immortal sword? Your luck is just too good!" Her voice trembled with excitement; that was an Immortal sword, and she would soon have one herself. Just thinking about it was thrilling.
"Yes, it was mainly thanks to that jade plaque I got last time; it was the key to an Immortal Palace. The Immortal sword was obtained from inside that palace," Cao Yang explained with a smile, taking out the entirely blue Immortal sword from his ring and handing it to Xiao Lingxue.
Xiao Lingxue took the Immortal sword and examined the blade carefully. She saw exquisite patterns carved on it, and a dazzling gemstone embedded in the hilt, emitting a brilliant light. She gently swung the Immortal sword, feeling a powerful force surge through her, leaving her in awe.
"This Immortal sword is truly incredible. Junior Brother, thank you!" Xiao Lingxue said gratefully, her eyes shimmering with tears.
"Xue'er, why say thank you to me? As long as you like it, everything is worth it," Cao Yang said with a laugh, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiao Lingxue's eyes.
"Let's go back into the Immortal Cave to talk in detail," Cao Yang said, carrying the beauty into the cave. They sat down on the bed, and he casually cast a barrier, then added a sound-insulating barrier to his own ring as well.
"Junior Brother, why are you setting up so many barriers?" Xiao Lingxue asked curiously, not understanding why Cao Yang was being so cautious.
"Because I don't want anyone to disturb our world for two," Cao Yang replied with a mischievous grin, then gently kissed Xiao Lingxue's lips.
A blush rose to Xiao Lingxue's face as she shyly responded to Cao Yang's kiss, enjoying this moment of sweetness and romance. The two embraced, feeling each other's warmth and breath, sinking deep into the ocean of love, unable to extricate themselves.
Three hours later, the beautiful singing in the Immortal Cave slowly came to a stop.
"Junior Brother, you're just too energetic," Xiao Lingxue lay limp on the jade bed, her clothes disheveled and her body devoid of strength.
"It's all because my Xue'er is too beautiful. I hadn't seen you for several days and missed you terribly. I'll be gentler in the future," Cao Yang looked at the exhausted Xiao Lingxue on the bed, a flash of heartache in his eyes as he realized he had been a bit rough.
He quickly pulled Xiao Lingxue toward him, wanting to transfer some of his spiritual power to her.
"Junior Brother, I can't... I really can't anymore," Xiao Lingxue quickly showed a face full of pleading.
"Xue'er, you've misunderstood. I was a bit rough just now, so I'm giving you some of my spiritual power. My spiritual power is special and can relieve fatigue."
Hearing Cao Yang's explanation, Xiao Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
As Cao Yang's spiritual power flowed into her, Xiao Lingxue felt much better.
The two tidied their clothes and sat cross-legged on the jade bed. Cao Yang said softly, "Xue'er, this jade bed is something I brought out from the Immortal Palace. It can increase cultivation speed. Stabilize your Realm first, then we'll refine the Immortal sword in a bit."
Xiao Lingxue nodded gently, "Thank you, Junior Brother. But since this jade bed can accelerate cultivation speed, you should be the one using it. Only when your cultivation is high can you better protect me."
"Xue'er, don't worry. My Realm is very high now; I believe no one is my match except for an Immortal. Besides, I Cultivate very quickly, so this jade bed isn't of much help to my cultivation. It's more useful for you."
"Alright then," Xiao Lingxue didn't persist. She closed her eyes and began to stabilize her cultivation.
Xiao Lingxue felt her Body Integration Peak Realm and was in a joyful mood. She thought that the gains from Dual Cultivation with her Junior Brother were truly astonishing. Although he was a bit rough and it hurt afterward, the act itself was very pleasurable, and her cultivation increased significantly afterward. Just thinking about it was exciting.
This time, Cao Yang had used the 200 years of Genius cultivation he had just obtained on Xiao Lingxue.
A few minutes later, Xiao Lingxue opened her eyes. "Junior Brother, this sudden surge in cultivation is very solid. It seems I don't really need to stabilize my Realm; it's as if I gained it through slow cultivation myself. I just need to get used to it."
Cao Yang nodded. He hadn't expected that using the cultivation on others wouldn't require stabilizing the Realm either, just like with himself. He thought the System was truly quite good.
"Xue'er, take out the Immortal sword. I'll help you refine it. Refining an Immortal sword isn't easy." The Immortal sword originally had a sword spirit, but unfortunately, it was male. Before coming here, Cao Yang had asked Hong to help wipe it out.
Xiao Lingxue took out the Immortal sword, and Cao Yang helped her refine it. With his assistance, the refinement was successful very quickly.
"Xue'er, why don't you give this sword a name?"
"Okay, Junior Brother. Let's call it Piao Xue, what do you think?" Xiao Lingxue said after thinking for a moment.
"Oh, that's a good name. It sounds very nice," Cao Yang affirmed.
After dallying with Xiao Lingxue for a bit longer, Cao Yang returned to his own Immortal Cave.
