This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 405 In the dead of night, he knocked her unconscious and secretly took the medicine.
Jianxinzhai, Zhikeyuan.

It was still the house on the back hill, the familiar second-floor cottage, and that same weak and helpless figure.

Unlike before, there weren't huge crowds of female fans this time.

With precise positioning, Sword Master Su Ran tossed Xiang Yuan into the guest courtyard at the back of the mountain. Apart from a few people, no one else knew that Young Hero Xiang had come to visit Sword Heart Pavilion. Since the gossip had not spread, no group of female hooligans came to watch.

ε=(ο｀*)))
Life is tough, even honest people sigh.

Xiang Yuan sat in the house, looking at the bright sun outside, trying to find a loophole in the Nine Absolute Formation and a way to escape.

The results were mediocre; he tried many times from last night until now, but failed once.

Sword Master Su Ran wasn't joking; he really detained him!

"Having not returned all night, based on the experience of the Prince Zhao's residence, Lingyue will probably become suspicious again, suspecting that I'm having an improper relationship with a man at Jianxinzhai..."

Xiang Yuan muttered to himself, "Although, this time I have indeed wronged the honest man."

Furthermore, the piercing gaze of the Sword Master at the Door Crack clearly indicates that he has tasted success and is showing signs of developing a relationship with Bai Wuyan. Could he possibly launch a night attack on him?

probably not.

Both of these strong women are independent and do things their own way. They have ideas, and they won't wait until night to take action; they'll do it in broad daylight.

Bang!

The door is pushed open.

Xiang Yuan glanced at it casually, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"

The newcomer was Qin Zhaorong. Her white palace robe was cinched with soft belts, accentuating her slender waist and making her appear even more breathtakingly alluring. As the 'enchantress' of Jianxinzhai, she possessed the most captivating charm. Her eyes were slightly upturned, her red lips were subtly curved, and her gaze was radiant with every glance. A mere sweep of her eyes was enough to make one's breath catch in their throat.

When Xiang Yuan first met Qin Zhaorong, he regarded this charming and seductive female doctor as a very experienced and alluring older sister.

I later found out that this guy only looked impressive; in reality, he knew absolutely nothing.

This is yet another classic example of someone visiting the wrong temple.

Just as Master Hard Drive's ideal type is the Yellow Springs Path, if Qin Zhaorong had studied at the Blissful Path back then, she would have already reached the level of a Grandmaster.

"I came to take a look..."

Qin Zhaorong peeked into the room, looked around, and couldn't smell Ziping and Shang Qingmeng's scent, which made her quite annoyed.

Oh no, we're too early!

Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. Qin Zhaorong sat down next to Xiang Yuan with a faint smile, poured herself a cup of tea, and said in a voice as sweet as honey, "It's fine that Senior Sister didn't come, but why didn't Senior Sister Ziping come either?"

“She ate too much last night, and her body won’t be able to handle it if she eats again today,” Xiang Yuan said truthfully.

Hey!

Qin Zhaorong felt disgusted and squinted as she leaned closer to the distance. The curve of her waist and hips was astonishing, as if her slender waist would break if she exerted any more force.

Before Qin Zhaorong could even open her mouth, Xiang Yuan knew what she was going to say and said firmly, "Wishful thinking. I am a chaste man and not a promiscuous man. You don't need to say anything more. It's impossible."

After saying that, he wore an honest expression that said, "I love my wife very much."

Qin Zhaorong rolled her eyes, too lazy to expose Xiang Yuan's hypocritical mask, and beckoned to him.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan remained unmoved, she was quite dissatisfied: "What are you thinking? I'm here to help you today. Say some nice things now, and if I'm happy, I might just let you out of Jianxinzhai."

"Really? You have that ability?" Xiang Yuan asked in surprise.

"Stop looking down on others!"

Qin Zhaorong was furious. She didn't have the ability, but Xiang Yuan denied it directly without any evidence or reason, showing no respect whatsoever. That was Xiang Yuan's fault.

Xiang Yuan didn't believe Qin Zhaorong's nonsense. The restriction on his body was placed by the Sword Master of the Door Fence. In the entire Sword Heart Sect, apart from Shang Qingmeng, no one could let him out.

Considering that the Sword Master at the Door Crack has the word 'cannibalism' written in his eyes, even Shang Qingmeng might not be able to do it.

It's even less likely that Qin Zhaorong will be involved.

Besides, she didn't have the guts!

As Xiang Yuan had predicted, Qin Zhaorong lacked both the ability and the courage, but she did have the audacity to pretend to have the ability and use the opportunity to enrich herself.

After just a couple of sentences, Qin Zhaorong revealed her wolfish ambitions. Her demands were not high; she wanted as much as Ziping had taken. As long as Xiang Yuan cooperated obediently, she could leave Jianxinzhai in high spirits that night.

You're here to have some fun, aren't you?

Xiang Yuan curled his lip: "I don't care. I'm not worried about having too much debt, and I'm not bothered by having too many lice. The key is you. If your senior sister finds out, she'll definitely chop you into mincemeat."

"No, Senior Sister Ziping is still alive and well."

“It’s different. A-Ping has her own value. Without her, your senior sister wouldn’t be able to find me,” Xiang Yuan explained the bizarre mechanism.

It really is!
Now it was Qin Zhaorong's turn to pout. Ziping could summon Xiang Yuan, and Ziping and Xiang Yuan could summon Shang Qingmeng, but she couldn't summon anyone. She felt bullied and excluded from her circle of friends, and no one invited her to parties.

Just as she was feeling annoyed, she saw Xiang Yuan scrutinizing her from head to toe, and Qin Zhaorong was overjoyed. She exclaimed, "You've finally figured it out?"

What are you thinking? Even if you've figured it out, I still can't understand it!
Xiang Yuan nodded seriously: "Take whatever amount A-Ping takes. You're just idling around anyway, so I'll grant your wish today."

So refreshing?

Qin Zhaorong panicked. She was being aggressive, but that was because Xiang Yuan had repeatedly refused. Now that he had suddenly agreed, she was a little hesitant.

Let's reschedule. I'm not mentally prepared yet, and it's broad daylight... at least the lights will be off at night.

Just as Qin Zhaorong got up to leave, Xiang Yuan suddenly grabbed her wrists and shoulders, using his innate superhuman strength to slam her onto the table.

Here, this is how A-Ping is treated. Take it.

During the sword competition, Qin Zhaorong spoke ill of Xiao Lingyue, mocking her as a flat-chested girl.

Xiang Yuan heard it clearly and immediately said that he would beat Qin Yourong to a pulp and see how she could cause trouble in the future.

Hitting her in the chest is out of the question. Jianxinzhai is a prestigious sect that specializes in extorting money and faking accidents. If he dares to hit Qin Zhaorong in the chest, she'll lie down on the ground and won't be able to leave without paying out hundreds of millions.

Suppress it a bit, and give it a slight punishment.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go! It's going to break!"

This position was familiar not only to Zi Ping but also to Qin Zhaorong. She had often been dealt with by Zi Ping in this way when she was being sarcastic. However, Zi Ping's arm strength was no match for the physique of a physical education student. With just one press, Qin Zhaorong could not withstand it.

"During the sword-fighting tournament, you spoke ill of Madam Xiang, and when we were at the Sword Pillar Forbidden Ground, you kept stirring up trouble..."

Xiang Yuan snorted twice: "If I were you, I would definitely avoid you. But you, on the contrary, actively come to my door looking for trouble."

As Xiang Yuan spoke, he looked around. After a moment, he still couldn't see Shang Qingmeng and remarked that the summoning mechanism was still so rigorous.

Zi Ping has to stick her butt out, otherwise she can't be summoned!
She was meticulous yet somewhat eccentric, leaving Xiang Yuan puzzled every time she rode her sister, and he said that his sister couldn't stand it.

After being thrown out of the small cave, Xiang Yuan did not see Shang Qingmeng. His attempts to summon her failed. He let go of Qin Zhaorong's hand, jumped out of the window, and prepared to go to Zi Ping's courtyard to ask for her help.

"That's really strong..."

Qin Zhaorong stood by the window, clutching her shoulder, complaining that the PE students didn't know how to be gentle with women. Suddenly, she thought of something and exclaimed, "I can't believe that Senior Sister Ziping, who is usually a very proper person, actually likes this kind of thing. Those two have so many tricks up their sleeves."

Seeing the direction Xiang Yuan had gone, her eyes lit up, and she used spatial teleportation to follow him.

……

When Xiang Yuan last sought medicine from Jianxinzhai, he stayed in Ziping's courtyard for a few days. Knowing the way well, he quickly found his way to the courtyard wall.

Ignoring the strict space restrictions, they easily scaled the wall and entered the compound.

The courtyard is filled with bonsai of various shapes, which complement the surrounding rockery. Xiang Yuan dreamed back to the past, relying on his status as a friend, he went straight to the window, touched the couch, and put his arm around Zi Ping's shoulder.

Zi Ping was completely dumbfounded. It was one thing for Jianxinzhai to be having affairs with outsiders, but to dare to act recklessly here? If word got out, how could she face anyone?

What? You already know everything you need to know?

That won’t work either!
Zi Ping glanced at the claws on her shoulder, her brows furrowed and her eyes cold, telling the shameless bastard to show some respect.

"Don't worry, your senior sister made it clear to Sword Master that we had an affair and slept together. Your master already knows." Xiang Yuan shrugged.

"You, you...you're not going to deny it?" Zi Ping was speechless.

"I'd like to argue, but you've already admitted it, so what can I do?"

Xiang Yuan called him a "pig teammate," waved his hand in front of him, and replayed the conversation between Zi Ping and Qin Zhaorong.

In the scene, when Qin Zhaorong mentions her lover, Ziping not only doesn't refute it, but also has a calm expression as if she has been with him for a long time.

"..."

In an instant, Zi Ping felt as if the sky had fallen, her nose tingled, and she silently shed tears.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Xiang Yuan put his arm around Xiang's shoulder and patted her gently, saying with a smile, "It's no big deal. One should be broad-minded. Look at me, you falsely accused me of sleeping with you, but I just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart at all."

“#@&……凸*~^&？…”

Zi Ping rambled on, her words slurred due to her emotional breakdown and excitement, and Xiang Yuan couldn't understand what she was saying.

unimportant!
Xiang Yuan raised his hand and pinched Zi Ping's face, making her pout her little mouth high. He said fiercely, "Ah Ping, I treated you like a brother. I gave you dual cultivation if you wanted, and I gave you blood medicine if you wanted. But you tricked me into Sword Heart Hall to kill me. Tell me, how should I repay your great kindness?"

"Now you treat me like a brother, but why don't you say anything when you're watching me have fun?" Zi Ping pouted, indignantly.

Even her master has misunderstood; how can she ever face anyone again? "It's your own fault for giving up; you can't blame anyone else..."

Xiang Yuan didn't want to delve deeper into this topic. After forcefully seizing the moral high ground, he changed the subject: "I'll give you a chance to take me away from Jianxinzhai, or don't blame me for being ruthless today!"

"Dream on, even if Ah Ping dies today, I'll drag you down with me."

"What a fine promise of living and dying together! Ah Ping, you're actually serious!"

Xiang Yuan snorted twice, grabbed Zi Ping's arm, and pressed her directly onto the couch, triggering the summoning ritual and waiting for Shang Qingmeng to appear.

Come out, it's you I've chosen!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go! It's going to break!"

Zi Ping was horrified and said that this place was unacceptable; this was her house, and she could not allow it to be defiled by that despicable couple.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Shang Qingmeng stood outside expressionlessly, watching the two people wrestling inside. Her cold eyes were completely calm, and even her breathing was frighteningly steady.

"Although, doesn't our weak senior sister have any pride?"

I have to complain a bit. Personally, I think the summoning mechanism shouldn't be so rigid. It's too targeted at Zi Ping and also very unfriendly to Qin Zhaorong.

As he spoke, he released Ziping.

Seeing Shang Qingmeng arrive as promised, Zi Ping's eyes welled up with tears again. She knew that she could no longer protect her innocent courtyard. She went through the procedures to switch places with her senior sister and happily took on the position of goalkeeper.

They even politely closed the door.

After standing there for a while, Zi Ping felt too lonely. Just then, Qin Zhaorong secretly broke the formation outside the courtyard and picked her up to share the sect leader's delicious juice.

Qin Zhaorong: "..."

When you were in trouble, you thought of your junior sister. You are truly my good senior sister!
Inside the room, Shang Qingmeng coldly stared at Xiang Yuan, her hand hidden in her sleeve forming a sword finger, determined to slit Zi Ping's neck with a single sword stroke if Xiang Yuan dared to speak.

After a while.

speak!

Shang Qingmeng snorted coldly, Qinglian moved aside, pushed Xiang Yuan, and rode directly onto him.

Their eyes met. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders and fell onto Xiang Yuan's cheek. He raised his hand and brushed it aside: "Fairy, you've come to cultivate again today?"

"if not!"

Shang Qingmeng squinted her eyes: "You are the husband of Xiao Lingyue, the Grandmaster of Wushuang Palace. Using you as a furnace is tantamount to humiliating Wushuang Palace. How could Master's words be false?"

“That makes sense. I think so too. The fairy has severed all emotions and desires and has no feelings to speak of.”

Xiang Yuan nodded with a serious face: "This move can not only improve cultivation, but also severely humiliate Wushuang Palace. It's a win-win situation. Jianxinzhai has won twice."

"As long as you know!"

Shang Qingmeng gritted her teeth. The cause-and-effect relationship, which she took for granted, was particularly infuriating to hear today. She said bitterly, "You're only stubborn now. Wait until I keep you locked up in the Sword Heart Hall for life, and then let's see if you'll still be laughing."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her, biting down hard on Xiang Yuan's lips.

It's another day of severing the seven emotions and six desires, and losing all sense of shame.

Outside the door, Qin Zhaorong covered her ears with both hands, stared with dead fish eyes and muttered to herself, complaining that her senior sister was too soft-hearted and shouldn't have given Xiang such a nice look at this time. When she saw Ziping next to her with a deathly pale face, her eyes lit up.

What a blast!
"Senior sister, this isn't the first time, why are you so distraught?"

Qin Zhaorong raised her hand and nudged Ziping's lower back: "I know, Senior Sister has forgiven him. They haven't broken up, so you'll have to be sneaky from now on and won't be able to be with him openly, right?"

"My room is no longer clean..."

"Oh right, your love nest with him, you haven't even used it yet, Senior Sister has already used it."

Le.JPG
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! It's going to break! I don't have this kind of hobby!"

Click!

It's really over.

……

As dusk approached, the sky darkened.

Under Qin Zhaorong's incredulous gaze, the door opened, and a childlike innocence rushed in. Ziping was lifted into the room by an invisible force and served her senior sister like a maidservant as she changed clothes.

When did Jianxinzhai become like this?!
You female cultivators who are usually so proper have so many tricks up your sleeves. Who is the real enchantress of Sword Heart Sect?

Inside the room, Zi Ping had a look of utter despair on her face as she draped a robe over Shang Qingmeng. The latter glanced at Xiang Yuan, who was getting dressed under the covers, and said disdainfully, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, what's there to be embarrassed about!"

I've never seen it. x2
Zi Ping was so overwhelmed by the childishness that she held her breath and didn't want to speak. She looked at the messy couch, feeling like crying but unable to. Upon closer inspection, she realized that not only the couch, but also the tables and chairs around it were in disarray.

Xiang Yuan didn't try to deny it. No one would believe him if he told the truth. Even the Sword Master at the Door Crack insisted that he and A Ping were having an affair. What else was there to deny?

Before Xiang Yuan could finish dressing, Shang Qingmeng threw a token at him, which landed on the quilt: "This is a token for entering and leaving Jianxinzhai. Get out of here, or I'll have to ask you to leave."

So simple?
While Xiang Yuan was still in a daze, Zi Ping hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, we can't let him go..."

"Why not?"

"..."

Senior Sister, just speak up, don't turn around, it smells awful.

Zi Ping leaned back slightly and said earnestly, "Senior Sister, no matter what, she lied to you first. If you keep going along with him and indulging him like this, he will only take advantage of you. You should detain him in the Sword Heart Hall..."

"Even if you take it, you can only watch; you won't get a share!"

"Senior Sister, what I mean is, you can't be so nice to him anymore, you should..."

"If I'm not good to him, how can you be good to him?" Shang Qingmeng sneered.

"..."

Zi Ping didn't say anything, but slapped herself. She deserved to be wronged; she felt her own mouth deserved a beating.

"Ah Ping, did you hear that? There's none for you!"

Xiang Yuan glared at Zi Ping, annoyed that she was stirring things up. If it weren't for Shang Qingmeng's understanding of the greater good and her own logic, he wouldn't have been able to escape today.

So, what excuse does this logic have in store?

Xiang Yuan held the token in his hand, looking at Shang Qingmeng with curiosity, waiting for her to answer his questions.

Shang Qingmeng didn't speak, but lifted her foot to let Ziping put on her shoes and socks. Looking at her well-behaved and sensible junior sister, she said sarcastically, "She's really a clever person, pitiful and adorable. Who wouldn't like her?"

“Indeed, I like that Aping is obedient and well-behaved. No matter what unreasonable requests I make, she will shyly fulfill them,” Xiang Yuan affirmed from the side.

"How has she satisfied you?"

"I can't say it, it's too shameful, it's even worse than what you did."

The two scoundrels took turns bullying Ziping.

It's still in her house.

Shang Qingmeng was willing to let Xiang Yuan leave, not because she could use Zi Ping to catch Xiang Yuan outside, but because she had to be wary of her master in Jianxinzhai, fearing that one day he would close his eyes and meditate, and then go to Xiaodongtian to drag Lingzui out of Su Ran Sword Master's mouth.

She still believes in her master.

Her decision to leave was well-founded and reasonable. The Great Medicine still had room for improvement, and a good sword cultivator who aspires to a peaceful and immortal cultivation should not only focus on immediate gains but also make long-term plans.

Release the fish, then re-fish it a few days later, and repeat the process. This sustainable development is the long-term solution.

We must never exhaust the resources of a place!

Similarly, humiliating Wushuang Palace will not be done in a short time. It will be done gradually over the years. One day, when Wushuang Palace comes to their door with their child, they will surely be furious.
Hey Xiao, you didn't expect this, did you? Your husband is just a furnace in my hands, I've been using him for many years.

I not only used it myself, but also gave it to my junior sister after I finished using it.

I'm so mad at you!
I'll arrange a marriage for you!
I'll make you the rightful wife!
After getting dressed, Shang Qingmeng nestled against Xiang Yuan's chest, coldly watching Zi Ping. Even as they whispered sweet nothings to each other, she didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.

Stop dreaming! I'm with him, but I won't give you a chance!
She thought of a possibility, such as late at night, an epic lung-opening experience, and with a wave of her hand, she took away the blanket that Xiang Yuan used when changing clothes.

I won't even leave you a blanket!
After their intimate moment, Shang Qingmeng pointed to the door and said, "Get lost. Just seeing you annoys me."

Xiang Yuan nodded obediently, stood up and patted Zi Ping's shoulder. In front of Shang Qingmeng, he put his arm around her shoulder and they became good buddies: "Don't worry, fairy. If you ever want to cultivate or humiliate Wushuang Palace, just throw A Ping out and you'll be able to find me."

After saying that, he swayed and left behind a heartbroken and indignant Zi Ping.

Zi Ping: (╥﹏╥)
……

Within the small cave, Sword Master Su Ran watched helplessly as Shang Qingmeng let Xiang Yuan go, secretly regretting it and wondering whether she should cover her face and have the assassins from the Star Palace intercept her.

She was still thinking about knocking Xiang Yuan unconscious and secretly getting the medicine when it was quiet at night!
"Silly girl, if we let him go, wouldn't it be Wushuang Palace that benefits in the end? How can you not understand such a simple truth?"

Su Ran Sword Master pursed her lips, seemingly savoring the taste of the blood medicine. The blood medicine that Xiang Yuan had refined from the Xuanhuang Blood Sea was incredibly tempting to her, a possessor of the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't bring herself to speak in front of Shang Qingmeng, she would have personally detained the person.

After saying all that, the foolish apprentice didn't listen to a word and let the family heirloom run away.

"You don't need it, but your junior sister does. I should have known better than to give you the token..."

Su Ran Sword Master muttered to himself, and finally sighed: "So be it. If I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate. It's just a blood medicine; it's not like I absolutely need it."
