Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Brother Jing, let's get a divorce.

The night breeze from Zhongnan Mountain brushed against my face, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Yang Guo, dressed in black, moved through the forest, using the footwork of the Golden Goose Skill. With each landing, he could leap three or four zhang (approximately 10-13 meters) away.

The burning sensation in his lower abdomen was growing stronger, indicating that the Nine-Turn Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills refined by Wang Chuyi were extremely potent.

The medicinal power of the century-old ginseng and deer antler dissolved in the stomach, turning into a ball of fiery true energy that surged through the meridians to the limbs and bones.

Yang Guo felt his whole body burning up, even his breath was scalding hot.

He practiced the Kanli Jue technique as he traveled.

The true qi in the dantian split into two thin streams, one yin and one yang, forcibly enveloping the chaotic medicinal power and suppressing it little by little within the qi acupoints.

After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Yang Guo stopped. Ahead of him was the entrance to the ancient tomb.

He entered the tomb passage with practiced ease and walked down the dark stone steps.

The temperature inside the ancient tomb was much lower than outside, and this coolness actually relieved the heat in his body.

After passing through several winding passageways, Yang Guo pushed open the stone door of a quiet room.

In the center of the quiet room stood a huge bed of cold jade, from which a chill emanated, forming a thin layer of white frost on the ground.

Little Dragon Girl lay on her side on the cold jade bed, wearing only a thin, plain-colored gauze dress, revealing her exquisite figure. Her snow-white jade feet were crossed, and her toes were round and lovely.

"You're willing to come back?" Little Dragon Girl's voice was clear and crisp, completely lacking the aloofness she displayed in front of others, her words full of teasing.

"I thought that Master Yang of the Quanzhen Sect would stay in the courtyard tonight to warm the bed for that lame little girl."

Yang Guo took two steps forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, then reached out and pulled Xiaolongnu's soft body into his arms.

"Sister Long, that's a really sour thing to say. I was just being considerate of my subordinates during the day, putting on an act. My heart has long been chained to the ancient tomb by you."

Little Dragon Girl reached out and pinched the soft flesh of his waist, scolding, "Don't try to fool me with these sweet words. When you touched other people's waists during the day, I saw you enjoying it very much. What, is that girl's waist thinner than mine?"

"She's malnourished, skinny and unfeeling." Yang Guo had one arm around Xiaolongnu's waist, while the other hand wandered upwards. "Sister Long is the real gem. Any more or less would be too fat or too thin. Her proportions are perfect."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Little Dragon Girl slapped his hand away.

The moment their skin touched, Xiaolongnu immediately frowned and grabbed Yang Guo's wrist.

I could feel that his pulse was extremely excited, and his hot blood seemed to be surging out of his veins.

Xiaolongnu opened her eyes wide, scrutinizing Yang Guo's face, which was flushed purple: "Did you take banned drugs?"

"Nonsense!" Yang Guo, losing face, retorted loudly, "This is Wang Chuyi's Nine-Turn Ginseng and Deer Antler Pill! A legitimate Taoist tonic for strengthening the body and nourishing vital energy! I've been working tirelessly day and night on teaching duties lately, what's wrong with replenishing my qi and blood?"

Little Dragon Girl covered her mouth and burst into laughter, her laughter so loud it made Yang Guo dizzy.

"If you can't do it, you can't, but you have to make excuses. Who was it that begged for mercy in bed a few days ago saying their back was about to break? Now, for the sake of saving face, they dare to take such potent drugs."

Yang Guo gritted his teeth; men can't stand hearing those two words.

You'll find out soon enough whether it works or not.

Yang Guo gathered his energy and suppressed his anger, his expression becoming serious. "Sister Long, I'm not joking anymore. I came to see you tonight on serious business. I need to break through to the Innate Realm."

Xiaolongnu stopped smiling and sat up straight: "Innate Realm? Although your internal strength is profound now, you are still a bit short of the life-and-death barrier of opening the Ren and Du meridians. Forcing a breakthrough could easily lead to qi deviation."

Yang Guo took out the coverless handwritten book from his pocket and handed it to Xiaolongnu: "Look at this, it's a good thing I got from the Sutra Pavilion during the day, the Kanli Technique."

Xiaolongnu took the handwritten copy and flipped through it for a moment. With her martial arts knowledge, she quickly discerned the essence of this technique: "A method of dual cultivation? Drawing water from the lower trigram to fill the upper trigram, achieving harmony between water and fire. This technique has a very high level of conception. It does not follow the evil path of 'sexual exploitation,' relying entirely on the balance of yin and yang within oneself."

"That's right." Yang Guo nodded. "I have sixteen years of pure Yang internal energy in my body, and with the medicinal power of this ginseng and deer antler pill, my Yang energy is already overflowing. You cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and your internal energy is extremely Yin and cold. If the two of us circulate the Kanli Technique on this cold jade bed, the Yin and Yang will definitely be able to break through the Xuan Guan barrier in one fell swoop."

Little Dragon Girl put the handwritten copy aside, glanced at Yang Guo, and said, "You've got a good plan, using me as your training furnace?"

"We are husband and wife, one as one, what's this talk of furnaces and cauldrons?" Yang Guo leaned over and kissed Xiaolongnu's fair cheek. "You help me break through, and I'll serve you well later, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Xiaolongnu rolled her eyes at him but did not refuse. She sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, with her hands outstretched in front of her chest, palms facing outward.

"Enough talk, take off your shoes and sit down," Little Dragon Girl commanded.

Yang Guo kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. The cold jade bed was just right to suppress the restless lust within him. He sat cross-legged opposite Xiaolongnu, raising his hands to press his palms together with hers.

"Close your mind and focus your energy, concentrate your spirit in your acupoints, and follow my true energy," Yang Guo reminded him.

The two closed their eyes and sat in meditation, their breathing gradually synchronizing.

Yang Guo activated the Nine Yin Manual within his body. Sixteen years of refined internal energy transformed into a scalding torrent, flowing through the meridians of his arms and gushing out from the Laogong acupoints in his palms, directly into Xiaolongnu's body.

Xiaolongnu groaned. This yang energy was far too domineering, and it was mixed with the frenzied medicinal power of the ginseng and deer antler pill.

She dared not delay and quickly began to circulate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

The Ancient Tomb Sect's extremely yin and cold true energy rose from his dantian and collided with Yang Guo's yang energy.

The two streams of true energy, one yin and one yang, converged within their bodies.

If it were an ordinary cultivation technique, these two completely opposite streams of true energy would have exploded and dissipated long ago, shattering the meridians of both individuals. But at this moment, the profound mystery of the Kanli Technique became apparent.

Yang Guo's consciousness sank into his dantian, entering a mysterious state that was both intentional and unintentional. He did not forcibly control his true energy, letting it flow naturally.

The Yin and Yang energies formed a large cycle within their bodies, flowing from Yang Guo's left arm into Xiaolongnu's right arm, circulating along her eight extraordinary meridians, merging with the extreme cold energy of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and then returning from Xiaolongnu's left arm to Yang Guo's right arm.

The cold jade bed emitted an extremely cold aura, continuously replenishing Xiaolongnu's energy.

The circulation accelerated, and the heat within Yang Guo's body was gradually neutralized.

The violent medicinal power of the ginseng and deer antler pills was tempered by the extreme cold, transforming into the purest energy that flowed into his limbs and bones.

As time passed, the stone chamber became so quiet that only the two of them could be heard breathing deeply.

Yang Guo noticed that his meridians were being widened, and the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual was automatically activated, with his bones emitting a faint popping sound.

Sixteen years of internal energy, tempered by the interplay of Yin and Yang, has been continuously compressed and purified.

The gaseous true energy gradually became thicker, showing faint signs of liquefaction.

Yang Guo shouted in his heart.

He guided this immense Yin-Yang energy, directing it straight to the vital point where the Ren and Du meridians meet.

This is the final, incredibly sturdy gate between the acquired and the innate realms.

The torrent of true energy slammed violently against the barrier of the entrance, causing Yang Guo's body to shudder violently, and a slightly sweet, metallic taste rose in his throat. He clenched his teeth tightly, not taking a single step back.

When Xiaolongnu noticed Yang Guo's actions, she unreservedly sent all the true energy of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra within her body to him.

With Xiaolongnu's full assistance, the true energy became even more immense. The second impact followed immediately.

A dull tremor came from beside my ears. This was not an external sound, but the sound of the internal barrier shattering.

The gateway to life and death has been broken.

The pure energy between heaven and earth flowed back into the Baihui acupoint, completely opening up the originally stagnant eight extraordinary meridians.

The internal energy no longer needs to be deliberately guided; it forms a perfect grand circulation on its own, endlessly generating new life.

Yang Guo opened his eyes slightly, and the dark stone chamber became as bright as day in his eyes.

The dust floating in the air and the subtle sound of spiders spinning webs in the corners were all clearly imprinted in his mind.

His sensory perception was greatly enhanced; this was the innate realm.

The internal energy within his body underwent a qualitative change. The One-Finger Divine Skill, which originally required great effort to use, was now activated on its own.

Yang Guo's right index finger trembled slightly, and a three-foot-long pale golden aura emerged from the fingertip.

The aura was incredibly solid and sharp, easily piercing through the hard bluestone slab.

He put away his One-Finger Divine Skill and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The turbid air transformed into a white streak, shooting out three zhang before slowly dissipating.

"It's a success." Yang Guo grinned as he looked at Xiaolongnu in front of him.

Little Dragon Girl withdrew her palms, her face slightly pale.

Her unreserved output just now had greatly depleted her energy.

Looking at Yang Guo's spirited appearance, she felt a sense of satisfaction, but her words remained sharp.

"Just breaking through to the Innate Realm? Look how smug you are. I broke through to the Innate Realm a long time ago; you're still far behind!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Long is exceptionally talented, I can't compare to her! This just proves that the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts are unparalleled, far surpassing Chongyang's."

Yang Guo flattered him.

Little Dragon Girl, however, did not take the bait and continued to hurl insults.

"Wang Chongyang reached the Innate Realm long ago; you are far inferior to him."

Yang Guo was completely unfazed by her criticism; he was in excellent condition. Not only had he broken through to the Innate Realm, but the medicinal effects of the Ginseng and Deer Antler Pill had also fully taken hold, leaving him with enough energy to kill an ox.

He lunged forward and pinned Xiaolongnu down on the cold jade bed.

"Wang Chongyang is nothing. He couldn't even handle a woman and died a bachelor. I, Yang Guo, have achieved success in both career and love." Yang Guo placed his hands on either side of Xiaolongnu's cheeks, looking down at her.

Little Dragon Girl didn't resist being pinned down by him. She stretched out her slender arms to wrap around Yang Guo's neck, her eyes becoming moist: "Master, your martial arts are unparalleled. I wonder if your skills in bed have improved?"

This statement is the highest level of provocation.

Yang Guo lowered his head and kissed those two soft red lips. With a wave of his hand, the two luminous pearls on the stone chamber wall were swept away by the wind from his palm and rolled into a corner.

The stone chamber was plunged into darkness.

"Sister Long, tonight I'll show you what the stamina of a master of innate cultivation is like. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, I won't stop," Yang Guo mumbled indistinctly.

As the gauze robe slipped off, the temperature on the cold jade bed rose accordingly.
