This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 367 What to do? Are we really going to be controlled by this kid?

He used his innate ability of the Five Elements Escape Technique to create a small space and descend into the ground like taking an elevator.

Unlike other cultivators, he possessed the Five Elements supernatural power of "opening mountains when encountering them and avoiding water when encountering it" once he reached the Innate Realm. This was due to the Five Elements Pearl given to him by Yue Huanjiang when he opened his aperture. He cultivated the Five Elements internally and fed back to the Nine Apertures, which was the exact opposite of other cultivators who cultivated the Nine Apertures externally and fed back to the Five Elements internally.

After reaching the Nascent Soul and Profound Realm, all supernatural abilities related to the Five Elements will increase to varying degrees, especially the ability to burrow underground, which has many wonderful uses and can be called an essential divine skill for home, travel, murder, and robbery.

After diving for a while, not knowing how deep it was, Xiang Yuan worried that the Great Demon of Wheel Prison would catch up, so he changed direction and continued to dive.

Then switch to automatic mode and let the small space move and submerge on its own.

After ensuring that there were no immediate worries, he looked into the distance at the nearly charred dead wood in his arms. It was so light and weightless that it was more fragile than glass and would shatter into pieces if he exerted even a little force.

Lingyue, your master is finished!

Within the small space created by the Earth Escape Technique, several of Bai Wuyan's magical treasures were scattered about: the Sword of No Calamity, the Immaculate White Lotus, and the Cloud-Woven Heavenly Robe. Their divine light was dim and lacked luster, and their surfaces were covered with cracks.

Once Bai Wuyan takes her last breath, these magical treasures will become ownerless.

Xiang Yuan exhaled the Moonlight Veil and covered Bai Wuyan's face with it.

It should be the face.

Judging from the distorted trend of the coke, this bulge is definitely not the buttocks.

The Moonlight Veil and the Pure White Wheel of Merit, having withstood the lightning tribulation, remain intact...

It can only be said that the shape is intact, not that it is exactly the same as before. For example, the color of the Golden Wheel of Merit has turned back to white, but its size is hard to say.

Ever since Xiang Yuan used it, Bai Wuyan's Golden Wheel of Merit has grown larger and can never go back.

"Big is good, she probably won't mind..."

Xiang Yuan muttered to himself, the most urgent matter was not Bai Wuyan's Golden Wheel of Merit, but Bai Wuyan herself. If they didn't save her soon, they would only be able to laugh themselves sick at the thought of her.

Xiang Yuan raised his hand and flicked his fingertip, causing blood to flow out and smear on the surface of the dead wood. The blood droplets seeped into the wood, making the dry charcoal slightly moist.

Then there was no movement.

Bai Wuyan's condition was far worse than that of Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er before her. Her physical body was almost dead, and her primordial spirit was dry and dormant. Let alone saving herself, she didn't even know to cooperate with the body-refining method to heal her injuries when Xiang Yuan fed her the medicine.

If Bai Wuyan were placed in the Qianyuan Realm, she might have a chance to wake up after lying there for three to five years.

If placed in the desolate ancient world where every moment is exploiting living beings, Bai Wuyan would simply fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again. Without external guidance to run the body-refining method of 'forging true gold in raging fire,' even medical miracles could not save her, and she could simply be buried on the spot.

What a coincidence! Xiang Yuan knows the body-refining method of the Peerless Palace.

However, this treatment involves dual cultivation, and given Bai Wuyan's pride and arrogance, she would never allow it to happen. She might kill him to silence him after waking up.

"Hey, I'm coming in. If you don't want me to, just say so!"

Xiang Yuan waited a moment and saw that Bai Wuyan neither agreed nor denied, her silence was deafening. He took this as arrogance and assumed she had agreed.

Xiang Yuan thought to himself that he was complaining, but he didn't hesitate to act. His primordial spirit surged in and transformed into a stream of light, directly entering Bai Wuyan's unsuspecting sea of ​​consciousness.

The once vast and boundless sea of ​​consciousness was now dry and cracked, like a riverbed parched for a long time. In the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Wuyan's primordial spirit phantom had faded to almost transparent, like an ink painting washed by rain, leaving only a blurry outline.

Not only is it blurry, but it is also full of cracks, like a piece of porcelain that has been broken and barely pieced back together.

Without a powerful remedy, even a god could not cure it.

Without hesitation, Xiang Yuan stepped forward with his primordial spirit, pressed it against Bai Wuyan's primordial spirit, and temporarily took over her broken body, guiding the body-refining method to operate.

But first, he had to reshape Bai Wuyan's physical body, at least by straightening out her meridians and energy points.

Bai Wuyan's condition was more serious than Xiang Yuan had imagined. Masters in the Tongyou stage all have the characteristic of having an indestructible physical body. She was in the Fusion stage and showed no signs of self-healing, which meant that her physical body had already withered and died.

Left with no other choice, Xiang Yuan had to adopt a two-pronged approach, addressing both internal and external issues.

Externally, he drew out his own meridians and blood vessels, attaching his own vitality to the withered wood and charcoal, providing the medicinal power needed for body refining, as well as a set of meridians and acupoints sufficient to run the cultivation technique.

Internally, guided by the primordial spirit, the method of 'forging true gold in raging fire' is simulated using the formless seal technique, injecting a large amount of vitality into the withered wood, forcibly bringing the dead back to life, and restoring flesh and bones.

In a sense, this has transcended the scope of dual cultivation and is equivalent to the grace of rebirth.

Bai Wuyan does not wish to be a slave or maid in this life; in the next life, she will surely repay the great kindness and virtue with gratitude.

Xiang Yuan employed a two-pronged approach, circulating his cultivation technique to infuse the withered tree with abundant vitality, awakening it from the dead and bringing it back to life, filling it with flesh and blood, and peeling away large pieces of charred remains.

Gradually, Xiang Yuan felt a little heavier in his arms.

The withered wood transformed into the white jade bones of a beautiful woman, strands of flesh and blood were reconstructed, the internal organs in the chest cavity regenerated, and the newly formed blood vessels gradually spread and took shape, replacing the artificial blood vessels in the distance.

With the heartbeat restarting, the body barely came back to life.

Afterwards, her tender skin grew back, her eyebrows and black hair returned, and even the beauty mark under her eye was exactly the same as before.

Once life is restored, the rest will be much easier.

Xiang Yuan opened up Bai Wuyan's meridians and practiced the dual cultivation technique 'Fierce Fire Forging True Gold', continuously injecting his own blood medicine into Bai Wuyan's body to replenish the deficiencies in her physical form.

Bai Wuyan's current cultivation level is unknown. Xiang Yuan is unsure whether she has successfully transcended the tribulation. Let's assume she has failed. She is still at the Integration Stage. Reshaping her physical body with the Tongyou Stage cultivation level will inevitably result in many defects and hidden dangers.

Xiang Yuan said he was powerless to do anything about it, and that it would be good enough if he could save the person; he shouldn't ask for too much.

If Bai Wuyan is not satisfied, she can simply reshape her physical body after regaining consciousness.

The body-refining method of Wushuang Palace is definitely not as good as the Wuxiang Seal Method. Once the latter is practiced, it strengthens the primordial spirit internally and the divine power externally. That is why Xiang Yuan has endless energy and infinite endurance. As long as the blood medicine in his body is not depleted, he will be like a perpetual motion machine without fatigue.

Maximum battery life.

In comparison, while the "Refining Gold in Fierce Fire" technique is also a rare body-refining method, and it also involves cultivating both internal and external aspects of life, its efficiency is incomparable to the "Formless Seal" technique. Xiang Yuan did not know how many blood-refining medicines he had given and how long he had practiced dual cultivation, but he still failed to awaken Bai Wuyan's dormant primordial spirit.

"This won't do..."

Xiang Yuan opened his eyes, covered in sweat. His tired eyes swept over the white jade-like figure in his arms. His brows furrowed tightly. Without a primordial spirit, the empty shell could not withstand the pressure of the Desolate Ancient Realm. Once he stopped dual cultivation, he would soon turn back into a withered tree.

Worst of all, the Ancient Realm not only exploited Bai Wuyan, but also Xiang Yuan, meaning he was burdened with the costs of two people at the same time.

"If the laws of this world weren't so rigid, I only needed to grasp a portion of them to utilize the natural order of the Dao and avoid such exhaustion..."

Xiang Yuan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, took the enlightenment futon and sat down, maintaining the dual cultivation state while comprehending the laws of this world.

The supply of blood-replenishing medicine has been cut off. The body-refining methods of Wushuang Palace are biased towards external aspects and have little effect on strengthening the primordial spirit. A large amount of medicinal power has settled in Bai Wuyan's newly regenerated body.

With continued supply of blood-nourishing medicine, Bai Wuyan became increasingly radiant, while Xiang Yuan only grew more and more exhausted.

We can't do a losing business; we need to finish processing the medicinal power in her body first.

With no reference point in the underground world, Xiang Yuan secluded himself in meditation. He didn't know how much time had passed, but finally, with his powerful comprehension, he persuaded the stubborn and inflexible laws of the ancient world to open a crack in the door, barely managing to integrate into the possibility of the Dao's natural way.

The Heavenly Emperor was too powerful. After his death, the laws of heaven and earth that had been scattered were not to be learned or mastered by anyone. Xiang Yuan could see them but could not use them. He integrated himself into them by following the natural way of the Dao, pretending that he was one of the talented people who were not excluded.

After joining, Xiang Yuan felt less pressure. Although he would still have his blood energy absorbed by the Ancient Wilderness Realm, he would no longer be panting heavily like before.

With less external pressure from the Desolate Ancient Realm, Xiang Yuan was able to devote more energy to awakening Bai Wuyan. He attempted to merge his primordial spirit with her more than ten times, but each attempt failed at the last moment before she was about to awaken.

Despite repeated defeats, they persevered and finally succeeded.

This time, Bai Wuyan's weak primordial spirit slowly awoke. In her sea of ​​consciousness, she saw Xiang Yuan, who was embracing her primordial spirit, looking completely bewildered, as if she were dreaming.

Nightmare!

When she opened her eyes, she saw herself naked being held in Xiang Yuan's arms, and she felt completely horrified.

It can't be called naked, as her face was covered by a moonlight veil, which concealed her very well.

Bai Wuyan struggled to get up, but she was too weak. Her arm rose halfway and then fell limply down.

Her movement immediately snapped Xiang Yuan out of his meditation.

"Thank God, Senior Sister Bai Feng, you're finally awake."

"..." x2
Bai Wuyan remained silent, coldly staring at Xiang Yuan with murderous intent in her eyes, showing no gratitude whatsoever for saving her life.

"Now that you're awake, things will be easier."

Xiang Yuan's primordial spirit returned to its place, and he stopped the dual cultivation, placing Bai Wuyan aside: "Junior Brother Baihu has done all he could. Cultivation is up to the individual. From now on, it's up to Senior Sister Baifeng to work hard on your own."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate cross-legged. Bai Wuyan's killing intent intensified, and with a thought from her primordial spirit, a white robe fell onto her body, covering a large expanse of her cleavage.

This white robe is also a protective garment, but it is not her magic treasure, the Cloud-Weaving Heavenly Robe. The latter suffered severe damage during the lightning tribulation and, like her current primordial spirit, is extremely weak. Only a small piece of fabric remains, covering the top but not the bottom.

Bai Wuyan tried to put on clothes to cover herself, but her limbs felt weak, as if they weren't her own. She shakily raised her arm and looked at her trembling fingers before realizing what had happened.

The murderous intent in his eyes faded somewhat, but it quickly intensified again.

She quickly lost her temper.

Without the Cloud-Weaving Celestial Robe and with no way to replace the consumption of energy, Bai Wuyan's blood energy was constantly being drained by the Desolate Ancient Realm, making her already weak even weaker.

With a thought, several bottles and jars fell from the jade wall space. She wanted to use external replenishment pills to offset the consumption of blood and qi, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm.

Ask Xiang Yuan for help...

impossible!
Xiang Yuan left Bai Wuyan aside, clearly waiting for her to beg him. Given her arrogance, bowing down and submitting would be tantamount to killing her.

Even if we just wait her to die today, she won't utter a single word!

Half an hour later, Bai Wuyan finally spoke.

There was no other reason than that, as the blood and energy dissipated, her fair skin gradually turned gray, and the beauty began to show signs of aging, going from youthful vigor to merely retaining her charm. If this dragged on any longer, the butcher's knife would have etched wrinkles onto her face.

It would be better to kill her!
"Junior Brother Baihu, help your senior sister take her medicine."

"Ah, where did this senior sister come from? Wasn't it me before?"

Xiang Yuan opened his eyes, looking completely ignorant: "Senior sister, what did you just say you wanted me to do for you? I've had hearing problems since I was little, could you please say it again louder?"

The only response to Xiang Yuan's gaze was silence and a murderous look.

Before, Bai Wuyan could truly kill with her eyes, but not anymore. Apart from having bigger eyes and a fiercer gaze, she has nothing special about her.

Xiang Yuan picked at his ear and turned to Bai Wuyan: "Senior sister, I really didn't hear you clearly. I didn't mean to make fun of you. Please say it again louder."

"Help! Senior! Sister! Take! Her! Medicine!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with gritted teeth and fury. If you listened carefully, you could also hear a hint of humiliation. This gave Xiang Yuan a boost of spirits. He nodded in satisfaction, opened each bottle and jar one by one, pried open Bai Wuyan's mouth, and poured everything in.

After finishing these tasks, Xiang Yuan continued his meditation while sitting cross-legged.

Its aura was vague and ethereal, seemingly merging with heaven and earth and all things, existing between existence and non-existence. Its transcendent realm had clearly transcended base desires.

Bai Wuyan received the life-extending elixir and refined it instantly, returning from her still charming appearance to her prime. However, she knew very well that this could only delay things for a while, and once the elixir's effects were exhausted, she would have to ask for it again.

What should we do? Are we really going to be controlled by this kid?
Bai Wuyan had entered the Desolate Ancient Realm once and made a guide. She knew very well that apart from powerful cultivators like Xiang Yuan who were full of blood and qi, other cultivators entering this realm should either store a large amount of external tonic pills or prepare a set of protective magic treasures with effects similar to the Cloud-Weaving Heavenly Robe.

Bai Wuyan had prepared both. In addition to the Cloud-Weaving Heavenly Robe, there were also a large number of external replenishing pills in the Jade Wall Space, enough for her to consume for a long time.

The Cloud-Weaving Celestial Robe is the first choice, followed by elixirs, with Xiang Yuan as a backup plan.

I never expected the tribulation lightning to be so fierce.

The Cloud-Weaving Heavenly Robe was torn on the spot, and there was no possibility of repair at the moment. There was no shortage of reserve pills, but if they were all used to heal the wounds, what would be left to offset the loss of blood and energy?
Right now, Xiangyuan is the only backup plan.

In her plan, the backup plan would be used as soon as it was available, and then discarded afterward, without caring whether Xiang Yuan agreed.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Now that her physical body has been reborn, her primordial spirit is weak, so Xiang Yuan can just throw her aside without caring whether she agrees or not.

Damn extraterrestrial demons!
Bai Wuyan was indignant. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Junior Brother Baihu, lend your blood medicine to your senior sister. After it's done, your senior sister will definitely reward you."

"Senior sister, you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you want to kill them. If you can spare my life after it's done, I'll be thanking my lucky stars. I wouldn't dare ask for anything in return," Xiang Yuan said softly.

It's good that you know!
"So, I don't need any reward or anything like that, junior brother."

Xiang Yuan opened his eyes and looked down at Bai Wuyan, who was lying flat: "Senior Sister is aloof and hard to get close to... How about this, you smile, and if you smile, I'll give you the blood medicine for free, how about that?"

Bai Wuyan's expression stiffened, feeling deeply humiliated. She said coldly, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you afterwards?"

"Senior sister, will you let me go?"

No!

Bai Wuyan gave a definite answer in her heart, and her expression softened slightly: "We can discuss it. After all, you saved me once. The good deeds and bad deeds cancel each other out, and we are even."

Hmm, you're actually quite reasonable!
Xiang Yuan looked at Bai Wuyan with disdain and didn't say anything, just quietly watching her.

Bai Wuyan's face was ashen. She closed her eyes for a long time, then opened them again, staring fiercely at Xiang Yuan. A cruel sneer appeared on her lips.

Even a sneer is still a laugh.

Even so, I still felt deeply humiliated, as if I had lost something that I could never get back.

"Pfft!"

Xiang Yuan accidentally laughed out loud. Seeing Bai Wuyan's extremely ugly face, he put on a surprised face: "Junior brother was just saying it casually. Why did senior sister take it seriously? It was just a joke. This misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding."

"..."

“We are from the same sect. Since you saved me once, you certainly won’t mind saving me a second time. As long as you speak nicely, everything is negotiable.”

"..."

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all... and don't glare at me. You're putting a lot of pressure on me."

Xiang Yuan kept talking incoherently, then placed his wrist in front of Bai Wuyan, letting her take the medicine herself.

Bai Wuyan gritted her teeth fiercely, driven by some personal grudges, and bit Xiang Yuan's wrist until it was a bloody mess. The blood medicine entered her body, and she secretly thought, "It's really delicious."

While she was unconscious, she hadn't noticed anything amiss. But now, as she tasted the medicinal power, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Judging from the quality of the medicine, the medicinal power that had accumulated in Xiang Yuan's body was extraordinary, definitely not something obtained by normally consuming rare and precious herbs.

You're a real schemer!

You probably don't even know the source of some of the drug's potency!
Bai Wuyan gave Xiang Yuan a deep look, absorbed the blood medicine into her body, and began to circulate her cultivation technique, taking care of both internal and external aspects to repair her damaged primordial spirit.

Three hours later, Bai Wuyan woke up with a pale face. Her primordial spirit was more seriously injured than she had imagined, and her regenerated body was far weaker than before she had undergone the tribulation. She was now like a cripple, unable to even take care of herself.

And hey, couldn't you have helped me put my clothes on while I was closing my eyes?

You wouldn't be happy if you actually wore it!

Xiang Yuan was unaware of what Bai Wuyan was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely complain. He was busy observing the laws of this world. When he noticed that Bai Wuyan had woken up, he handed her his wrist again.

"Help me put my clothes on."

Bai Wuyan spoke coldly, biting her wrist, drawing blood, and then closing her eyes silently, as if she had entered a meditative state and was no longer moving.

"???"

A string of question marks flashed across Xiang Yuan's mind. According to him, once Bai Wuyan could move on her own, he wouldn't need to take care of her clothes or anything like that.

However, since Senior Sister Bai Feng has asked, it wouldn't hurt for him, as her junior brother, to lend a hand.

A moment later, Xiang Yuan positioned Bai Wuyan, dressed in white, in a cross-legged position. Images kept flashing through his mind, and he shook his head repeatedly, trying to dispel them.

The effect was mediocre; the more you shook it, the higher the resolution became, and it even turned into a GIF.

Bai Wuyan opened her eyes just then, her timing for entering meditation was perfect. Now that she had something to cover her body, her complexion looked much better.

If you didn't see it, it's as if nothing happened.

She told Xiang Yuan to stop shaking his head and focus on helping her cultivate.

She didn't specify how to cultivate, but Xiang Yuan knew the answer in his heart.

Xiang Yuan frowned, realizing something was wrong. It wasn't self-abandonment, but rather a case of discarding someone after they've served their purpose.

After leaving the Desolate Ancient Realm, he will probably be hunted down by Bai Wuyan for a long time.

What should we do? Should we seek refuge at Jianxinzhai?

The pursuer is Bai Wuyan, and the Sword Master of the Door Crack will definitely lend a helping hand with a smile.

"We'll deal with the future later. The most urgent task is the task of refining the Reincarnation Relic." Xiang Yuan moved the Enlightenment Futon behind Bai Wuyan, placed his hands on her back, and channeled his primordial spirit into it, officially beginning their dual cultivation.
