Heaven rewards diligence, but there are always fairies plotting against me.

Chu Chang had no choice but to leave.

After a while, he knocked on the door of Zhou Linzi's residence from the back door.

Zhou Linzi turned to the side, blushing, and let Chu Changrang into the house.

The furnishings inside were exquisite, and a faint, subtle fragrance permeated the air, far surpassing any worldly cosmetics; it was more like the cool fragrance of some rare orchid.

Zhou Linzi gently closed the door, and even added a soundproofing talisman to the door latch.

After doing all this, she turned around and looked at Chu Chang, her hands twisting together helplessly. Her previous charm and skill seemed useless at this moment, and she appeared somewhat flustered.

"Senior Brother Chu, please have a seat." Zhou Linzi poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to him.

Chu Chang didn't stand on ceremony, sitting down at the table with a casual air and taking a sip of tea.

"No need to be so nervous." Chu Chang put down his teacup and looked at her, saying, "Since we've decided to cooperate, let's make some things clear first. After tonight, we'll be partners in mutual benefit. What I'm giving you is far more than you can imagine."

Zhou Linzi took a deep breath, calmed her wildly beating heart, and sat down opposite Chu Chang.

"Senior Brother Chu, I admit I had some ulterior motives before. But now that things have come to this, I just want to know, how confident are you about helping me break through to the Qi Refining Realm within three days, as you said during the day?" Zhou Linzi's expression turned serious. When talking about cultivation, the cunning in her eyes disappeared, replaced by an almost obsessive desire.

"What, you still don't believe me?" Chu Chang smiled slightly.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this is too shocking." Zhou Linzi gave a bitter smile. "I've been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for a whole year. There are thousands of outer disciples in the Divine Sword Sect, but only one in a hundred can enter the Qi Tempering Realm. Each breakthrough requires a massive accumulation of spiritual energy and a deep understanding of the spiritual power of heaven and earth. My talent is limited, and without a fortuitous encounter, I thought I would have wasted several more years."

Chu Chang shook his head and pointed a finger at you: "You're wrong. It's not that you have limited talent; it's that you're begging for food while sitting on a mountain of gold. Your Extreme Yin Jade Marrow Body is a top-tier auxiliary cultivation physique, but unfortunately, you don't know how to activate it at all. Normally, most of the spiritual energy you absorb is consumed by this special physique without being converted into your cultivation, which is why your progress is so slow."

Zhou Linzi's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light: "So that's how it is... No wonder, no wonder every time I practice breathing exercises, I feel like there's a bottomless pit in my dantian, no matter how much spiritual energy I absorb, it's never full. But how did you know all this?"

Chu Chang couldn't possibly say that the Mirror of Deception told him this, could he?

"My cultivation technique is called the 'Tai Xuan Yin Yang Technique'," Chu Chang began to fabricate without batting an eye, his expression utterly serious. "This technique was created by an ancient master who observed the workings of Yin and Yang in the universe. My pure Yang power can serve as a 'catalyst' to help you resolve the accumulated Yin Jade Marrow Qi within your body. When Yin and Yang converge and blend seamlessly, once this immense power feeds back, your breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm will be nothing more than a natural progression."

Listening to Chu Chang's logical analysis, Zhou Linzi's doubts completely vanished.

After all, the other party could not only see the crux of her problem at a glance, but also had such a clear solution.

"If that's the case... then how should we cultivate?" Zhou Linzi bit her red lips, her voice softening, and two blushes rose on her face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Chu Chang stood up, his expression calm and composed, showing no sign of evil.

Especially in situations like this, he needs to act like a profound and unfathomable enlightened master in order to completely suppress Zhou Linzi psychologically.

"Get on the couch and sit cross-legged facing each other," Chu Chang instructed.

Zhou Linzi lowered her head and obediently walked to the bedside, took off her shoes and socks, revealing a pair of delicate, jade-like feet.

She took a deep breath to calm her shy feelings and sat cross-legged on the couch as instructed.

Chu Chang then climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged facing her.

"Close your eyes, circulate your usual cultivation technique, empty your mind, and whatever you feel later, do not resist it. Focus all your efforts on guiding the power I am sending into your body."

Chu Chang's voice seemed to possess a certain magic, gradually calming Zhou Linzi's tense emotions.

"Yes." Zhou Linzi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Reach out your hand."

Zhou Linzi slowly raised her hands, and Chu Chang also stretched out his hands, palms facing each other, fingers interlocked.

Then, the two slowly collapsed.

boom!

A surge of fiery, pure, and yang spiritual energy erupted from Chu Chang's palm, like a roaring fire dragon, powerfully yet gently surging into Zhou Linzi's meridians.

"Mmm..."

Zhou Linzi's delicate body trembled violently as the scorching spiritual energy entered her body, making her feel as if she had fallen into a hot spring, her whole body warm and comfortable.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chang's masculine spiritual energy circulated within her body, directly touching the cold, dormant, extremely yin jade marrow energy deep within her.

It's like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan.

In an instant, the extreme Yin power within Zhou Linzi's body was completely ignited!

An indescribable chill erupted from the depths of her bones, intertwining with Chu Chang's pure yang spiritual power.

One cold, one hot; one yin, one yang—two completely opposite forces circulated wildly in the meridians of the two people, forming a perfect cycle.

Chu Chang felt an extremely pure Yin energy return to his body, greatly nourishing his physical body and primordial spirit. His spiritual power also became even purer at this moment.

The benefits Zhou Linzi received were unimaginable!

The jade marrow energy that had accumulated in her body for many years was transformed into a surge of pure spiritual energy, which, under the melting of Chu Changchunyang's power, rushed wildly through her limbs and bones.

Rumble!

A thunderous roar, like a rushing river, emanated from Zhou Linzi's body.

Her aura began to surge upwards at an incredibly terrifying speed!

Mid-stage of Qi Refining Ninth Level...

Late stage of Qi Refining Ninth Level...

Peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining!

In just one hour, Zhou Linzi had already grasped the bottleneck that had troubled her for a whole year.

"Concentrate and prepare to break through the bottleneck!" Chu Chang's low shout resounded in Zhou Linzi's mind.

At this moment, Zhou Linzi had a sudden inspiration and guided the terrifying power of the Yin and Yang to transform it into an unparalleled divine weapon, which she fiercely stabbed towards the invisible barrier!

Click...

A crisp cracking sound seemed to emanate from within my body.

Followed by.

hum! ! !

A surge of spiritual energy, several times stronger than before, emanated from the bed and transformed into an invisible ripple that instantly swept across the entire room.

At this moment, Zhou Linzi's dantian expanded wildly, and her spiritual power began to transform from a gaseous state to a liquid state. A powerful pressure unique to the Qi Refining Realm erupted from her body!

Breakthrough!

Not only did she break through, but under the residual power, her cultivation continued to consolidate, eventually remaining steadily at the peak of the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, just one step away from stepping into the second level!

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window, the two opened their eyes at the same time.

Zhou Linzi's beautiful eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

She was completely stunned as she felt the surging power within her body, which was several times stronger than before, and the feeling of being reborn.

"This...this is real? I really broke through to the Qi Refining Realm?"

Zhou Linzi murmured to herself, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

In just one night! Without even taking any breakthrough pills, she easily crossed this formidable barrier that countless outer disciples dreamed of!

She suddenly looked at Chu Chang in front of her, her beautiful eyes no longer filled with the previous defensiveness and resentment, but with endless joy, worship, and even a deep sense of awe!

This man is simply a god!

"Senior brother, you're amazing."

In bed, Zhou Linzi's face was flushed.

This feeling is truly amazing.

It actually allowed him to break through in an instant.

This proves that Senior Brother Chu did not lie to her!

Thinking of this, Zhou Linzi kissed him.

Chu Chang: "…………"
