Chapter 41 - Returning To The Sect, The Cold Wan Qian

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm was the tomb of a Tribulation Stage transcender. It was full of opportunities, but it was also full of dangers.

With Fang Yuan’s current strength, if he didn’t make any preparations, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to return.

Moreover, Wan Qian’s matter wasn’t exactly something he could handle.

After all, dual cultivation was transferring one person’s strength into another person’s body to help adjust the it because it was too chaotic to be controlled in a single person.

Under normal circumstances, the clash of the two forces would shatter the clothes of both parties, so when it was carried out, they needed to be honest with each other.

Thus, unless they were of opposite sexes and had a very close relationship, they would not do such intimate things.

Especially in such a conservative world, many female Gu masters valued chastity more than life.

Fang Yuan felt that his relationship with Wan Qian could only be said to be alright, and it was not enough to make her agree to dual cultivate with him.

Although he did not want anything to happen to her, if she was unwilling, he could not do anything about it.

Thus, he asked.

“Did Senior agree?”

“No, I still need you to talk to her personally,” the examiner replied.

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, “Senior, you think too highly of me. Actually, I have only met Senior Wan Qian a few times. We are not close, you should leave this matter to someone else.”

The examiner shook his head, “Do you know that in all these years Wan Qian has been around, you are the only male Gu master she’s sparred and had a meal with?”

“The sect even knows about these small matters?”

Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised.

“…”

The examiner was speechless. “Is this something you should be paying attention to? Right now, in the entire Gu Immortal Sect, you are the only one who is most likely to get her to agree to dual cultivation.”

Next, he looked at Fang Yuan twice before adding, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you help for nothing, Wan Qian is a core disciple of the sect. If you save her, the sect will naturally reward you.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Fang Yuan thought about it carefully.

Anyway, he just had to try it. He didn’t necessarily have to save her. There was no loss in the deal, so he agreed. However, he didn’t say it out loud.

After that, the examiner chatted with him for a while and told him to go back to the sect after he recovered. At the same time, he left a bottle of pills.

This was a type of special pill for core disciples of the sect. It was very effective in treating injuries. It couldn’t even be bought with vitality stones.

Fang Yuan’s injuries had healed by 70-80% after resting at the Xu clan for a day.

However, the main reason was that he had broken through to the Enlightenment Realm and was almost uninjured in the subsequent battles.

The way of nature was too exaggerated. Even Fang Yuan himself could not understand how he could control such a strange power.

It was difficult to describe. It was as if it could turn a soft leaf into a sharp weapon to kill. This required the user to have a peak level of control over the strength, angle, and other aspects of throwing the leaf.

If there was a slight deviation, he would not be able to kill without a trace.

Fang Yuan lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Now, he seemed to have lost that kind of control and could no longer enter a state that was in accordance with nature.

It seemed that he had not completely grasped it. It was just that in the life and death battle, he had stimulated his potential. In addition, his strength had soared at the moment he broke through, allowing him to experience it temporarily.

“What a pity.”

Fang Yuan sighed, shaking his head as he continued meditating to heal his injuries.

This thing could not be rushed. He could only slowly comprehend it.

The next morning, he bade farewell to Xu Zhiyu, who came to deliver breakfast, and returned to Gu Immortal Sect.

[Ding, Your Cloud Shadow Gu has lost the virgin aura, its cultivation efficiency has greatly decreased.]

Fang Yuan heard this hint and could not help but shake his head.

Alright, it started again.

This Gu worm was good in every aspect, but its fetishes were too hard to satisfy.

What was bad about it was that it insisted on having a virgin aura for it to continue nurturing.

But after these two days, Fang Yuan finally understood what the so-called virgin aura was.

It was actually Yin Qi.

In theory, a woman was Yin, and a man was Yang.

Only an inexperienced young girl would not allow the Yang Qi in a man’s body to neutralize the original Yin Qi.

This was also the only way to maintain a certain concentration of Yin Qi, allowing the Cloud Shadow Gu to have the effect of increased cultivation after swallowing it.

“Senior is being attacked by the Cold Yin Qi, I wonder if I can let the Cloud Shadow Gu absorb a portion of it to alleviate the symptoms.”

Fang Yuan was not sure. After all, the Cloud Shadow Gu was not a Yang type Gu, so he did not know if he could do this.

After staying in the carriage for two days, he finally arrived at the Gu Immortal Sect.

“Senior Fang.”

The disciples guarding the door immediately bowed when they saw him.

Fang Yuan had obtained the first place in the outer sect competition, and he had even skipped the third round of tests and directly advanced to the inner sect. This was something that many people knew, so he was quite famous.

In the Gu Immortal Sect, the higher the position is, the higher the seniority. These outer sect disciples had to call him Senior when they saw him.

Fang Yuan nodded. He did not say anything, and he walked to the teleportation array and headed towards the inner sect.

When he arrived at Wan Qian’s courtyard, he saw that the door was not closed, so he walked in.

Fang Yuan called out: “Senior, are you there?”

“Is it Junior Fang?” Wan Qian’s reply came from inside the house.

“It’s me.”

The next moment, the wooden door opened, and Wan Qian’s haggard face appeared in front of him.

Using the True Sight Gu’s ability, her meridians and limbs were covered by a hazy blue light.

It seemed that the cold air had already corroded her internal organs, forming a cold poison that was even harder to deal with.

Wan Qian looked at Fang Yuan and forced a smile, asking: “Didn’t you go down the mountain on a mission? Why are you here?”

“The mission is over.”

Fang Yuan explained, “Someone in the sect brought me news that you were in critical condition, so I came to see if I could help.”

“You can’t help.”

Wan Qian shook her head without hesitation. “Thanks for your concern.”

Fang Yuan was slightly startled. “Senior, you already know?”

Wan Qian was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. She looked at Fang Yuan’s expression and added, “I have no intention of finding a Dao partner now.”

A Dao partner was equivalent to a secular husband or wife.

Wan Qian’s attitude was very obvious. It seemed that she also knew that the only way to cure the cold poison was through dual cultivation, and dual cultivation meant that in the future, they would have to cultivate together without clothes.

This was undoubtedly something that only a husband and wife could do.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Wan Qian was considered a top-notch goddess in the sect. She didn’t like him, so how could she let a man see her naked?

Fang Yuan knew this very well, and he understood it too. Since she did not appreciate his kindness, then he really could not help her.

As for the sect’s instructions, he would probably not be punished if he overestimated the relationship between Wan Qian and himself.

Thus, Fang Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.

However, just as he walked out of the door, the system bell rang again.

[Ding, your Cloud Shadow Gu has absorbed Cold Yin Qi, and its cultivation speed has increased to 150%!]

[Your Moonlight Gu has been affected by the current environment, power of the cold moon is evolving!]

[Your Bloodthirsty Gu has absorbed elemental energy, and its derivative ability, Frosty Rod Technique, has begun to strengthen!]

[Note: You are leaving the benefit area, and all the bonuses will disappear.]

Eh?

Fang Yuan was about to leave when his body froze.

The Cold Yin Qi on Wan Qian’s body…

It has benefits!
