I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

One hour later.

The wooden door to the attic creaked open from the inside.

Leng Qingyue staggered out, leaning against the door frame.

The moonlight shone on her slightly pale face, which remained cool and aloof.

But there was an indescribable weariness between his brows.

Leng Qingyue turned around shakily.

Glancing at Cao Kun, who was meditating with his eyes closed inside the room, I couldn't help but shiver, and my legs felt a little weak.

Master...

For my sake, in order to eradicate the cold poison in my body, what kind of terrifying torment did they endure on a daily basis?

Leng Qingyue originally thought that this matter would only take a few breaths or minutes at most.

Who would have thought...

This stimulation lasted for a full hour!

However, the only thing to be thankful for is that the cold poison has been completely eliminated!

Leng Qingyue just wanted to escape this place that made her feel ashamed and furious.

However, when she subconsciously activated her spiritual power, preparing to fly away on her sword, she froze on the spot.

The meridians, which were originally slightly sluggish due to the cold poison, were now completely unobstructed.

Its operating speed has increased by 30% out of nowhere!

This……

How is this possible?!

Leng Qingyue's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

She immediately looked inward and discovered that the stubborn cold poison that had been lingering around her dantian had actually dissipated by a thin layer!

Although it was only a tiny layer, it was an effect she had never achieved despite years of hard work and countless pills!

At this moment, Cao Kun's previous earth-shattering remarks came to mind.

In her mind, it was completely branded as a golden brand, and there was no doubt about it anymore.

He...he really is my cure!

This discovery brought about a complete change in Leng Qingyue's state of mind.

The humiliation and coercion of the past were quietly replaced by surprise and longing.

in case……

If this treatment can continue long-term...

Wouldn't that mean I could not only completely eradicate the cold poison, but also improve my cultivation speed far beyond that of ordinary people?

More importantly, if I were to bear all of this in place of my master, then my master would never have to suffer this pain again!

Correct!

In this way, he could both repay his master's kindness in raising him and solve his biggest problem, achieving two goals at once!

Having figured this out, the last trace of resentment in Leng Qingyue's heart vanished.

She didn't linger, enduring the soreness in her waist, and flew towards her cave on her sword.

She needed to go back into seclusion immediately to carefully examine the changes in her body and verify her suspicions!

……

Inside the attic.

Cao Kun watched Leng Qingyue's hasty retreat, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

He smacked his lips and sighed inwardly.

Tsk, no wonder it's a top-grade Ice Spirit Body.

……

If he hadn't been completely unable to find an excuse to continue, he really intended to stage a second success.

After all, such good things don't come around often.

Calming his mind, Cao Kun sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Chaos Returning to One Technique".

At this moment, the pure Yin energy obtained from Leng Qingyue was rampaging through his Qi Sea and Dantian.

As the cultivation technique was activated, a dark vortex quietly appeared, beginning to pull and devour the primordial yin energy.

Strands of energy were extracted, incorporated into the vortex, and then transformed into drops of pure chaotic power.

After a night of tireless effort.

Cao Kun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes!

boom--!

A far more powerful aura than before erupted from his body, sweeping through the entire attic and shattering all the tables and chairs into dust.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Become!

Cao Kun felt an immense sense of exhilaration as he experienced the surging chaotic power within his body.

No wonder so many old demons in the cultivation world are so enthusiastic about the practice of absorbing the essence of life.

This predatory speed of improvement is more than a hundred times faster than the methodical meditation and ascetic practice!

Especially when combined with his unique "The Chaos Returns to One Technique", there is no need to worry about any side effects such as an unstable foundation or the emergence of inner demons.

Simply perfect!

"System, open your personal panel."

Name: Cao Kun

Age: 99/450

[Spiritual Root: Top-Grade Fiery Sun Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-Foundation Establishment]

[Number of Jade Beasts: 1/1]

[Task Points: 2800]

[Beastmaster Level: Novice (28/30) - Upgradeable!]

"I only need 2 more taming points to level up and unlock the next jade beast slot."

Cao Kun stroked his chin.

Once the upgrade is complete, I can officially recruit Senior Sister Leng as well, and then... hehe.

Cao Kun leaped off the cloud bed.

Looking out the window, one can see the main hall shrouded in mist in the distance.

"Master, your cultivation has greatly improved, and I should pay my respects to you immediately."

"I wonder if, seeing my progress, you'll... be moved to tears?"

……

at the same time.

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall of the Hehuan Sect.

An elderly man dressed in a crimson brocade robe with a dignified face was angrily questioning a gray-robed elder sitting on the head seat.

"Elder Wang! My grandson, Lin Fan, was maliciously injured by a fellow disciple within the sect, nearly destroying his entire foundation! Your Enforcement Hall must give the Ye family an explanation for this!"

This person was none other than Lin Fan's maternal grandfather, Ye Ting, an elder of the Inner Sect's Pill Pavilion!

He himself was a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

At the head of the table, Wang Zhenshan, known as Elder Wang, slowly put down his teacup.

"Elder Ye, this isn't right."

"This matter... I have already investigated. The one who made the move was Elder Yu Linglong of Lianxiang Peak."

"We both know Elder Yu's temper."

"She herself spoke up, saying that your grandson had talked back first and disturbed her peace and quiet, so she gave him a slight punishment."

"Not crippling his cultivation on the spot is already an act of leniency beyond the law."

"If you really have any objections, you can go to Lianxiang Peak in person and argue with Elder Yu."

Wang Zhenshan casually kicked the ball back.

You're kidding me. You want him to go find that crazy woman Yu Linglong? He's not ready to die yet!

"Hmph! Jade Linglong?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ting let out a cold laugh, full of disdain.

"Elder Wang, let's speak frankly. I've already investigated that little beast thoroughly!"

"He has absolutely no connection with Elder Yu Linglong, and has even offended Yu Linglong's most beloved disciple—Leng Qingyue!"

"Oh?" Wang Zhenshan finally became interested and looked up at Ye Ting. "Is that true?"

Ye Ting lowered his voice, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in Wang Zhenshan's ear.

"It's absolutely true! My good-for-nothing grandson has always harbored feelings for Junior Nephew Leng."

"According to him, that day, Junior Nephew Leng clashed with that little beast on Lianxiang Peak, and they even drew their swords against each other!"

"Elder Yu had no choice but to show himself and forcefully suppress the matter."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenshan felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Seeing this, Ye Ting continued to add fuel to the fire: "In my opinion, Elder Yu only intervened because she wanted to save face and didn't want people to think that Lianxiang Peak was helpless!"

"So Elder Wang, let's join forces and find a pretext to help Nephew Leng get rid of this brat."

"Not only can I do my nephew Leng a favor, but I can also extend an olive branch to Yu Linglong—killing two birds with one stone!"

"A rootless, adrift outer disciple, dead, so be it! Who would care?"

Ye Ting's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"Elder Wang, what do you say?"
