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

The Divine Eagle stood on the shore for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

It looked at the three people below the waterfall and found that the man was completely steady, without even swaying.

The large bird turned its head, made a gurgling sound in its throat, and then strode away along the rocky path it had come from.

At the edge of the pool, only the sound of the massive water cascading down remained.

Lu Wushuang's hands were tightly wrapped around Yang Guo's thighs.

After her red undergarment was washed away by the water, she pressed herself against Yang Guo's legs.

The water was icy cold, and her smooth back was splattered red.

"My lord!"

Lu Wushuang opened her mouth, but the sound was mostly drowned out by the sound of flowing water.

"That big bird is gone! Let's go up!"

She simply couldn't take it anymore.

The water pressure was so strong that she could barely breathe.

Moreover, she was currently completely naked from the waist up. Even though she knew her husband wouldn't mind, she couldn't bear to continue like this in broad daylight with her cousin nearby.

Cheng Ying was hanging on Yang Guo's chest, and her situation was worse than Lu Wushuang's.

Her pink Taoist robe had long since disappeared, leaving her only in a thin white silk undergarment.

The fabric was soaked through by the pool water, clinging completely to the skin, revealing the skin's color and contours underneath.

The mark of the Qiankun Technique, stimulated by Yang Guo's pure Yang energy, further shattered her reason.

Unfortunately, the water in the pool was extremely cold.

This torment of extremes left Cheng Ying unable to speak a complete sentence.

"Brother Yang..."

Cheng Ying slumped her hands onto Yang Guo's shoulders, her whole body beginning to slide down.

"Let's go upstairs first. You just took so much medicine. If you try to tough it out like this, your body won't be able to take it... I'm doing this for your own good."

Yang Guo heard what the two women said, but did not respond immediately.

His current state is extremely peculiar.

The twenty-five snake galls I had swallowed earlier were too potent. Although I managed to force the third line to form on the Yuan Qi Pearl, the power was actually quite weak.

Many medicinal properties did not fully integrate into the dantian, but instead accumulated in the gaps between muscles and meridians.

If not resolved in time, this stagnant medicinal power will eventually turn into a hidden poison.

Standing beneath this waterfall, with the immense force of the water crashing down from dozens of meters high, is like being brutally beaten by a top-tier martial artist who doesn't charge a penny.

With each heavy pressure, the medicinal power accumulated in the skin and flesh is pushed deeper and deeper.

The Nine Yin True Qi flowed rapidly along the damaged meridians, and in combination with the medicinal properties of snake gall, continuously repaired the tiny cracks caused by the water's impact.

Each repair strengthens the muscles and bones.

He could clearly feel that the third line on the Yuanqi Bead, which had originally been shimmering, was becoming more and more solid under this hammering.

"I'm not going up."

Yang Guo looked down at Cheng Ying in his arms.

"The water pressure here is just right for refining those undigested snake gallbladders."

"Such good free laborers are hard to find anywhere else, even with a lantern."

"But……"

As soon as Cheng Ying opened her mouth, all the icy water droplets poured in.

She choked and coughed, her body trembling violently.

Yang Guo tightened his grip on her waist.

Although this woman was stubborn and liked to play tricks, she gritted her teeth and didn't beg for mercy when the Qiankun Technique was activated. This arrogance was worthy of the name Peach Blossom Island.

Right now, her lips are turning purple from the cold, and her body is trembling like a leaf. If she stays in the water any longer, she'll really get sick from the cold.

Lu Wushuang below was also about to give up.

She didn't have much internal strength to begin with, and she hadn't even crossed the threshold of the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter. The small amount of true energy that Yang Guo had passed through was simply not enough to withstand such water pressure for so long.

Yang Guo originally wanted to tease the two women a little more and take a good look at the scenery in the water.

But looking at the bruises and red marks on Lu Wushuang's back from being splashed by water, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

That's my woman. I haven't even had a chance to really squeeze her, and this damn waterfall has already left its mark.

"Alright."

Yang Guo raised his voice.

"You two go up first."

Lu Wushuang tilted her head back, her eyes half-closed by the water: "And what about you, my husband?"

"I'll stay a little longer."

As Yang Guo spoke, the Yuan Qi Bead in his dantian began to circulate faster.

He gathered the sword intent of the heavy sword and the sword intent of the Double Ninth Festival into the center of his dantian, and mobilized the purest Nine Yin True Qi.

This pure energy, extremely yin and gentle, flowed out from his hands and poured into the bodies of Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang respectively.

Cheng Ying's meridians, which had been almost numb from the cold, suddenly felt more energetic after being nourished by this gentle true energy.

The burning, intense yang fire was temporarily suppressed by this yin energy.

"Hold on tight," Yang Guo reminded him.

Before the two women could react, Yang Guo suddenly exerted force with both arms.

Using the force of the rushing water, he twisted his waist and used both hands to support Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang's backs.

Powerful true energy enveloped the two women's bodies, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the water column falling directly above them.

"Let's go!" Yang Guo shouted in a low voice.

He pushed outwards with both hands, sending the two women directly out of the center of the boulder.

The force was precisely controlled, neither hurting anyone nor failing to send them out of the waterfall's coverage area.

The two fell into the edge of the pool, escaping the most terrifying pressure zone.

Lu Wushuang stepped onto the stones at the bottom of the pool and quickly stood up.

She covered her chest with both hands and scrambled to the shore.

He ran until he reached behind a large, dry rock before peeking out half his head, panting heavily.

Cheng Ying followed closely behind and went ashore.

Once she was separated from Yang Guo's body, the humiliating desire lessened slightly, but the severe exhaustion left her legs weak.

Holding onto the slippery rocks on the shore, she managed to move to the large rock where Lu Wushuang was, and sat down with her back against it.

The two of them are in a terrible state now.

Lu Wushuang was shirtless, and Cheng Ying was only wearing a semi-transparent undergarment, which was extremely indecent.

Cheng Ying hugged her knees with both hands, buried her face between her legs, and didn't dare to look at the waterfall at all.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. Not only was she stripped naked in front of her cousin, but she was also forced to embrace a man naked in the water in the middle of nowhere.

She has completely disgraced Peach Blossom Island.

Lu Wushuang didn't have as many thoughts as her.

After regaining her composure, she still held her hands to her chest and peered into the water at Yang Guo.

Below the waterfall, Yang Guo walked back to the center of the flat-topped boulder.

A torrent of water crashed down from the sky.

Yang Guo bent his knees slightly and firmly planted himself in a horse stance.

He pushed the red and black primordial energy beads in his body to their limit.

The first jet of water slammed down on them.

Yang Guo did not use his inner energy to withstand the attack, but instead relaxed his defenses and let the water flow solidly hit his flesh.

The immense impact was pressing down on the spine.

He bent his knees and almost fell to the ground.

The medicinal power of snake gall accumulated in the meridians was forcibly squeezed out under this heavy blow.

Yang Guo guided the spreading medicinal power, directing it along the bloodstream to his limbs and bones.

Skin and flesh, muscles and bones, periosteum.

Every part of my body is frantically absorbing this pure energy.

The bones become stronger, and the muscle fibers become thicker.

Under the pressure of the water, the sword intent of the heavy sword rose from the dantian and rushed straight down the Du meridian to the back.

The water slammed against his back, while the sword intent surged outward from within.

One force from the outside, one from the inside—two forces clashed fiercely on his body, making it their battlefield.

Yang Guo's skin glowed with a reddish light.

This indicates that the flow of Qi and blood has reached its peak.

He adjusted his breathing.

Inhale, drawing out the Chongyang Sword Intent and circulating it through the Ren Meridian.

Exhale, and the Chongyang sword intent transforms into a long, continuous flow of energy, enveloping the meridian walls damaged by the water flow and repairing them.

The heavy sword is for external defense, while the double yang sword is for internal cultivation.

Under the pressure of the flowing water, the two sword intents no longer repelled each other, but instead each performed its function, forming a perfect cycle.

He looked inward at himself.

The meridians are wide and unobstructed.

The medicinal power of snake gall remains hidden in the subtle parts of the internal organs.

Each time the water hits hard, the internal organs vibrate.

The hidden medicinal power was shattered, turning into a stream of heat that flowed into the dantian.

The two sword intents converged between the chest and abdomen.

The red and black energy beads then act as a harmonizing element in the center.

Yang Guo closed his eyes.

The sound of water from the outside world seemed to be shut out.

He could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

My heart was beating loudly and rapidly.

Blood flow is also increasing.

His skin was red, and even wisps of white steam rose from it.

But the white steam was extinguished by the cold water as soon as it rose.

Heat accumulates continuously in the body.

The walls of the meridians were stretched open, and then squeezed and compressed by the heavy pressure of the water flow.

Between this expansion and contraction, the meridians became incredibly flexible.

The speed of internal energy circulation increased by a full 30%!

This is the true essence of body tempering!

Dugu Qiubai practiced his sword here, using this water to temper his body.

Without a strong physical body, how could one wield that heavy black iron sword?

Half an hour passed.

Yang Guo stood more and more steadily on the boulder.

At first, the water could still shake him, but now, he's like a nail, firmly driven into the rock.

Water splashed around him, but it couldn't shake him in the slightest.

He looked inward at his dantian again.

The third pattern on the red and black energy bead has completely solidified under the dual tempering of medicinal power and water flow.

The barrier at the edge of the mid-stage of the innate realm was quietly pushed open by this natural force, creating a crack.

If he wanted to, he could immediately advance to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

But Yang Guo stopped.

The animal skin left behind by Dugu Qiubai was inscribed with the words: "Do not be greedy for quick success and act rashly."

If I break through now, the quality of my true energy will actually decrease.

He wanted to continue compressing this force until it could not be compressed any further!

Yang Guo put aside his thoughts of breaking through to a higher level and continued to focus on using the water flow to refine his physical body.

ashore.

Lu Wushuang crossed her arms and squatted behind the rock.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

"Achoo!"

Cheng Ying turned to look at her.

"If you cannot withstand the cold, then circulate the mental techniques of the Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian. That mental technique belongs to the orthodox Taoist school and can ward off the cold."

Lu Wushuang sniffed.

"I've only been practicing for a few days, it's not that easy."

"But you, cousin, with your profound inner strength, how come you're trembling like this?"

Cheng Ying clenched her teeth, trying to stop them from fighting.

"My cultivation method focuses on lightness and agility, so I'm not good at keeping warm, and besides..."

She didn't continue.

Moreover, the Qiankun Technique mark in her dantian was constantly devouring her internal energy, and as soon as she left Yang Guo, the mark would start to cause trouble.

Lu Wushuang moved closer and carefully examined Cheng Ying.

"Cousin, tell me honestly, have you taken a liking to your husband?"

Cheng Ying blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed that Lu Wushuang had spoken her mind.

She feigned wide eyes: "What nonsense are you spouting! I wish I could kill him!"

Lu Wushuang pursed her lips.

"You're just being stubborn. The way you looked at him just now was exactly the same way I looked at him."

"I was bullied by him before, but in the end I still obediently called him my husband."

"Although he is a womanizer, he will protect us when we are in real danger."

Cheng Ying turned her face away.

"I am different from you. I am a descendant of Peach Blossom Island. How can I be controlled by others?"

"He used despicable means to humiliate my innocence; this is an irreconcilable enmity!"

Lu Wushuang smiled.

"Fine, fine, I'll never forgive you."

"When your husband comes up later, don't snuggle into his arms."

Cheng Ying was speechless with anger: "You!"

Lu Wushuang turned to look at the waterfall, but the worry in her eyes deepened.

"Cousin, is your husband hurt? Why isn't he moving at all?"

Cheng Ying also peeked over.

She noticed that the direction of the water flow around Yang Guo had changed.

The splashing water actually flowed down along the outline of Yang Guo's body.

He had already released the energy within his body, forming an invisible protective aura.

"He's alright."

Cheng Ying said.

"He is laying a solid foundation. This Brother Yang may seem to do things haphazardly, but in fact he plans every step very carefully."

Lu Wushuang was immediately pleased to hear her praise Yang Guo.

"That's right, don't you even know whose husband he is?"

Cheng Ying turned to look at her: "You don't even have any clothes left, and you still have the nerve to be smug."

Lu Wushuang, however, didn't care at all.

"So what if I don't have any clothes? When my husband comes up, I'll just snuggle into his arms."

"He's warm inside, even more so than if he were wearing clothes."

Cheng Ying was speechless for a long time after hearing her blunt words.
