86: Everything is for cultivation

With a "bang," the bedroom door was slammed shut.

Before Lu Yi could even react, Leng Ningshuang pressed him down into a chair inside the room.

Her expression was panicked and urgent as she grabbed Lu Yi's hand and commanded:

"Quick! Transfer Spiritual Qi to me! Just like last time!"

Lu Yi was completely baffled, left somewhat dazed by this series of maneuvers.

But seeing her in such a frantic state, he obediently did as he was told.

"Alright, alright, I know you're in a hurry, but don't panic yet."

With a thought, Lu Yi mobilized the Star Immortal Power within his body, slowly channeling it through his palm into Leng Ningshuang's body.

As that thread of extremely Yang and robust spiritual power entered her, Leng Ningshuang's tightly knit brows relaxed slightly.

She felt the inexplicable, scratching restlessness within her body finally find a moment of relief under the soothing touch of the Power of the Stars.

She thought to herself:

"As I thought! It really is an imbalance of Yin and Yang!"

However, this relief only lasted for a moment.

Although the restless sensation weakened slightly, it remained stubbornly entrenched deep within her Dantian.

In fact, because it had tasted some sweetness, it rebounded even more fiercely; there was no way to completely eradicate it this way.

Leng Ningshuang's brow furrowed as her heart sank.

It seemed that a simple transfer of spiritual power only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

Just as that vixen Chu Qianqian had said, to completely resolve the hidden dangers left by the "Yin and Yang imbalance," a "circulation" of spiritual power had to be completed.

In other words, last time she had "supplemented" Lu Yi; this time, it was her turn to "harvest" it back.

Which meant they had to complete Dual Cultivation in the truest sense.

Leng Ningshuang released Lu Yi's hand and turned her back to him.

Her chest heaved violently as she fell into a massive psychological struggle.

Lu Yi was her Martial Nephew, after all!

Furthermore, the last time was a critical emergency, a pure accident.

If she took the initiative this time, the nature of it would change completely!

What would that make her?

The sense of shame almost made her want to bolt out the door; this was practically trampling her dignity as a Martial Aunt underfoot!

But the restlessness within her body, like maggots in her bones, kept her in constant torment.

If she didn't resolve it, not only would her cultivation progress be difficult in the future, she might even suffer Qi Deviation... She took a deep breath and began to frantically rationalize the situation to herself:

"I'm doing this to resolve the hidden danger... I'm doing this for cultivation..."

"That's right! This is all for cultivation! Immortal cultivators should not be bothered by trivialities; why care about the eyes of the world!"

"Yes! It's all for cultivation!"

Finally, she convinced herself, and Leng Ningshuang's gaze hardened.

In that instant, it was as if she had Sealed away all of her shame.

Her entire being switched into "Seeker of the Dao" mode.

She turned around abruptly while Lu Yi was still dazed, wondering what she was up to.

She grabbed Lu Yi's collar and, relying on her cultivation advantage at the Peak of the Undying Realm, exerted force with her arm to push the defenseless Lu Yi directly onto the bed behind him.

"Holy crap?!"

Lu Yi was knocked dizzy, and just as he was about to make a quip, his vision suddenly went dark.

A silk ribbon, which Leng Ningshuang had produced from somewhere, tightly blindfolded Lu Yi's eyes and was tied in a knot at the back of his head.

Leng Ningshuang's fingers trembled slightly.

Although she knew that at their Realm, a sweep of the Divine Sense would reveal everything and a blindfold had no practical meaning.

But this thin layer of silk at least meant she wouldn't have to look directly into Lu Yi's predictable gaze in a moment.

This was the last shred of her "fig leaf," as if as long as Lu Yi couldn't see, it wasn't her taking the initiative.

Following that, Lu Yi felt a cool breeze hit him.

Accompanied by the faint sound of friction, some sort of restraint was removed.

That familiar scent of light, cold fragrance, mixed with a body temperature that trembled slightly from nervousness, slowly approached and hovered above him.

By his ear came Leng Ningshuang's stammering voice as she forced herself to stay calm:

"Don't... don't worry..."

"This time... I will be more careful... to avoid the situation from last time..."

She meant well, wanting to express that she would control her pace.

But when these words reached Lu Yi's ears, the meaning changed completely.

What did she mean by "avoid the situation from last time"?

Was she questioning his strength?

Who was she looking down on?!

Last time, the gap in their Realms was too large, plus he had been "ambushed" while defenseless.

Now, he was a grand expert of the Undying Realm!

In a battle between equals, who was afraid of who?!

A competitive smile tugged at the corner of Lu Yi's mouth.

Since his Martial Aunt was being so "proactive" and even dared to provoke him with words, how could he show weakness?

They were both in the Undying Realm now; although there was a small gap, this time it was a fair competition!

"Martial Aunt, don't speak too soon!"

He didn't say anything else, intending to respond to Leng Ningshuang's "provocation" with action.

If you want to fight, then let's fight! A refreshing battle!

Practice brings true knowledge; today I must let you know who the real dominant one is!

As their breaths merged, the cultivation officially began.

Leng Ningshuang endured the shame that was enough to make her faint, following the Cultivation Technique route Chu Qianqian had given her from memory.

She began to clumsily guide the circulation of spiritual power within her body.

This time, it was no longer a simple "supplementing."

Instead, it formed a complete "Great Circulation" between their Meridians.

As soon as the technique began to operate, Leng Ningshuang's eyes widened in shock.

That restless sensation that had tormented her for days like maggots in her bones...

The moment their spiritual powers intersected, it was rapidly dissolved like lingering snow meeting a scorching sun!

In its place was an unprecedented peace from the depths of her Soul.

For someone who had been tormented to the point of losing sleep and appetite, that feeling was no different from rain after a long drought!

The Meridians that were originally sluggish due to the restlessness were instantly cleared, and the Spiritual Qi galloped and cheered within her body.

She felt the speed of the Spiritual Qi's circulation in her Meridians was actually several times faster than during her usual bitter cultivation!

Even the Bottleneck of her cultivation showed signs of loosening at this moment!

"Is... is it this efficient?"

Leng Ningshuang's last remaining line of rational defense gradually began to collapse in the face of such massive cultivation benefits.

She finally understood why so many immortal cultivators flocked to this.

She also began to understand why a Sect like the Hehuan Sect could stand tall.

This method of cultivation was practically cheating!

Having tasted the sweetness, her bodily instincts began to gradually suppress her original shame.

To pursue an even more extreme washing of spiritual power and that Soul-shaking sense of comfort, Leng Ningshuang subconsciously accelerated the speed of the Cultivation Technique.

This was somewhat unexpected for Lu Yi; starting with such high intensity right away? What was she trying to do?

At this moment, Leng Ningshuang seemed to have transformed into a greedy "Seeker of the Dao."
