233: Chapter 233 Hua Yuxi's Choice

"That... I helped them. I used a secret technique." Xiao Yuchen knew this matter couldn't be hidden, so he simply admitted it directly.

"What secret technique? Can it be used on a large scale? There are so many Disciples in the Sect; can you help them improve as well?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked.

"Of course not. That secret technique is very special; it cannot help that many people."

Xiao Yuchen was speechless. He was using the Dual Cultivation Technique; how could he use that to help others improve? Although there were many female Disciples in the Sect, he couldn't just engage in Dual Cultivation with everyone. What would that make him?

"Then how about this? You just need to help the top ten of the Inner Court improve their combat power."

Sect Master Hua Yuxi didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she changed to a relatively simpler request.

"That won't work either. In fact, I use the Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation Technique, so this method can only be used on my women." Xiao Yuchen felt a bit awkward and could only answer truthfully.

"Dual Cultivation Technique? Then... then is this method useful for Void Tempering experts?"

After saying this, Sect Master Hua Yuxi was shocked herself. This was equivalent to an indirect confession to Xiao Yuchen. Thinking of this, she felt her cheeks burning.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuchen thought to himself, feeling something was amiss. "Don't tell me the Sect Master has fallen for me too? This is too ridiculous. It's all because I'm too outstanding. I really need to keep a low profile from now on."

"It's just... I also want to improve my cultivation. Can you help me?"

"I understand what you mean, but that method is not suitable for you." Xiao Yuchen refused directly.

"Why is it not suitable? I am also a woman. As long as you can help me improve my cultivation, I am willing to be your Dao Companion."

As a Sect Master, Sect Master Hua Yuxi was an extremely proud person. In Xiyue Prefecture, there hadn't been any man who could make her look at them with high regard; Xiao Yuchen was the only one.

Xiao Yuchen had defeated her in the Arena, and at the same time, had captured her heart.

"Uh... Sect Master, do you know what you are saying? Is improving cultivation really that important?"

Perhaps because he came from a modern city, Xiao Yuchen couldn't understand this behavior of being willing to sell one's body for the sake of benefits.

"Isn't it important? In the Cultivation World, strength determines everything. The Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects are all at the Void Tempering Middle Stage. If I can achieve a Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Late-stage, then the Qingyun Sword Sect can become the head of the Four Great Sects."

Of course, Sect Master Hua Yuxi was just finding an excuse for herself. In reality, she also liked Xiao Yuchen in her heart; otherwise, how could she sacrifice her purity just to improve her cultivation?

"No, I cannot help you improve your cultivation."

Xiao Yuchen refused again. He had just arrived in the Cultivation World and already taken two women. If he took Sect Master Hua Yuxi as well, how would he explain it to Li Yiran?

"Why? Where am I inferior to them?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi felt unconvinced.

"I didn't say you were inferior to them; it's that your cultivation is too high, and I cannot help you."

In order to make Sect Master Hua Yuxi believe him, Xiao Yuchen explained the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Wuji Technique.

"So that's how it is."

Sect Master Hua Yuxi was a bit disappointed. She had thought she could also improve her cultivation like Dongfang Qingcheng and the others. Of course, she didn't expect to reach the Mahayana Stage directly, but improving by a small Rank would have been good.

"Yes, that's it. Your cultivation has already surpassed mine, so Dual Cultivation is useless." Xiao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally explained it clearly.

"Then your cultivation talent is better than mine. I will engage in Dual Cultivation with you first to help you improve your cultivation. When you surpass me in the future, you can just help me improve, right? Am I not very clever?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi was somewhat excited, as if she had found a shortcut.

"No, as a woman, why do you always think about Dual Cultivation? If you really want to improve your cultivation, it's not that there's no way. I can also refine Medicinal Pills that help Void Tempering experts improve."

"Moreover, this time I brought back many Spirit Medicines from the Monster Forest, and combined with the existing Spirit Medicines in the Spirit Herb Pavilion, I should be able to gather the Spirit Medicines needed to refine the great dao pill."

What Xiao Yuchen had obtained was Top-tier Alchemy; as long as it was a Medicinal Pill for cultivators to consume, he could refine it, provided he gathered the corresponding Spirit Medicines.

Of course, the more Advanced the Medicinal Pill, the harder it was to refine, and the lower the probability of obtaining a top-quality one, unless enough Spirit Medicines were provided for him to practice. However, Medicinal Pills that could help Void Tempering experts improve were naturally not ordinary items; how could one possibly have enough medicinal materials to use for practice?

"Really? Can you really refine Medicinal Pills that help Void Tempering experts improve?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked excitedly.

"Of course I can, but I still need to confirm if the medicinal materials for refining the great dao pill are complete."

"Then check now. If you refine a Medicinal Pill that helps Void Tempering experts improve their cultivation, I will engage in Dual Cultivation with you and become your Dao Companion."

"No, are you never going to stop? If you mention Dual Cultivation again, I will refuse to refine the Medicinal Pill."

Xiao Yuchen was truly speechless. Being in Sect Master Hua Yuxi's boudoir was already making him uncomfortable, and yet this woman kept tempting him. How could he possibly handle this?

"Fine, I won't say it. You won't even take advantage of a bargain; you're not a man." Sect Master Hua Yuxi pouted and said softly.

"I..."

Ever since he arrived in the Cultivation World, he had already been told by several women that he wasn't a man. Why were the women in this Cultivation World so eager to prove whether he was a man or not?

Xiao Yuchen wanted to argue, but decided against it. If he wasn't a man, then he wasn't a man; what was there to argue about? Didn't Dongfang Qingcheng also say he wasn't a man? And now, isn't she... cough cough, in short, facts speak louder than words.

"Your place is not bad either; I will just refine the Medicinal Pill here."

Without waiting for Sect Master Hua Yuxi to refuse, Xiao Yuchen directly took out the nine dragon qiankun cauldron and the Spirit Medicines for refining the void spirit pill.

"You really want to refine the Medicinal Pill here? Aren't you afraid I'll secretly learn it?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi leaned in front of Xiao Yuchen, curiously examining the nine dragon qiankun cauldron.

"If you want to learn, then go ahead. If you can really learn it, then you won't need me to help you; why would I not be happy about that? I, Xiao Yuchen, have never hidden my skills from friends. Otherwise, why would I teach everyone the Sword Technique and help everyone refine Medicinal Pills?"

"Hmph! Is that so? You hid your skills from me. You must be afraid that I will surpass you, so you kept refusing to help me improve my cultivation. If I hadn't taken the initiative to find you, you wouldn't have helped me."

Hearing Sect Master Hua Yuxi say this, Xiao Yuchen was truly speechless. Sect Master Hua Yuxi's age should be over a hundred years old; although she still looked very young and beautiful, her mentality seemed like a child's. Did the women of the Cultivation World only grow in age and not in intelligence?

"How can you think that? Can you blame me if the Spirit Herb Pavilion cannot gather the medicinal materials for refining the great dao pill? I don't have any Medicinal Pills that can help you improve your cultivation in my hands either."

"Even if I had them, before I have absolute strength, would I dare to take them out? What if you all tried to seize them by force? You yourself said that strength determines everything."

Xiao Yuchen tried his best to defend himself. However, he did have Medicinal Pills that could work on Void Tempering experts, such as the dashan pill, but he couldn't use them lightly. Even when he used it for Former Sect Master Fan Yao, it was a last resort.

"Then how did you help Teacher improve to the Void Tempering stage before? I heard Teacher say that you gave him a pitch-black Medicinal Pill, and after he ate it, he had a Breakthrough."

"No, are you all in the Qingyun Sword Sect loose-lipped? Why do you all like sharing your experiences with others?"
