It turns out, they were the main characters.

Despite the regret, at least after expanding the innate furnace, the spiritual energy he can give to others during dual cultivation will also increase.

Moreover, even if this Heart-Piercing Pill were completely useless, it would still be worthwhile to take it.

After all, the already extremely rich medicinal fragrance, mixed with the scent of the Azure Emperor's lips, made even the most ordinary pills worthwhile.

Feeling the effects of the Dao Heart Pill flowing through his body, and with the lingering fragrance of the beauty's lips on his skin, Mu Zhi'an was about to close his eyes and refine the effects of the Dao Heart Pill.

"Don't rush. The Dao Heart Pill is an eighth-grade pill. If you want to refine it directly, it will take at least three to five days, unless the Ye family ancestor activates the secret technique to help you again this time."

At this moment, Yao Meng gently stroked Mu Zhi'an's face with her slender, cool jade hand, a hint of pleasure appearing in her emerald eyes, and said softly, "There's no need to rush in refining the pills."

A clear, heavenly voice, tinged with a hint of seductive charm, reached his ears, causing even a seasoned veteran like Mu Zhian, who had spent years roaming among women, to feel a tingling sensation in his bones.

Yao Meng's rosy lips parted slightly, the scent of Dao Xin Dan still lingering in her mouth. With a soft breath, she gently leaned close to his ear.

"The night is still long, and you must be feeling quite disappointed by your defeat today. Let me comfort you."

Although I know that the Azure Emperor's sister is incredibly alluring, this is just too much...

Looking at Yao Mengxianzi, who was lying on her side beside him with a faint smile on her face and alluring eyes, Mu Zhian's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

She looked like a fairy from a painting. Even now, when she was exuding charm, her clear, bright green eyes were still like a pool in late autumn, making people dare not have any intention of profaning her.

Yet, her beautiful eyes held a hint of mockery, and looking into them made one want to suppress this fairy who was deliberately teasing others and teach her a small lesson.

“Sister Qingdi, I am not the kind of person who does things casually,” Mu Zhian replied with great restraint.

He really wanted to ask Yao Meng what her attitude and thoughts were after his senior sister made a confession-like statement in public today.

However, since the other party didn't mention it, there was naturally no need for him to bring it up specifically.

“I know you’re not the kind of child who gets affectionate with people easily.”

Yao Meng surprisingly cooperated with Mu Zhi'an's words and walked down, gently putting one arm around the back of Mu Zhi'an's head so that he could bury his face in her arms.

Mu Zhian's heart fluttered slightly, and for a moment she almost couldn't control herself.

The warmth and tenderness of her heart, and even the precise feeling of her body temperature... all of this was stimulating Mu Zhi'an.

"I won't do anything to you, I just hope that the cultivation techniques you obtained from me can be further advanced."

A hint of pleasure flashed in Yao Meng's eyes as she looked down at the boy whose face was buried in her arms. Her gentle, charming voice drifted over: "The choice is yours."

Although he said that, there was a clear hint of flirting in his words.

At this moment, Mu Zhian seemed to be drowning in the sweet web of love woven by Yao Meng. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the sweet scent on Yao Meng's body and the gentle, bewitching voice in his ear.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This Azure Emperor sister really has me completely under her thumb; she even guessed what I was thinking and what I would do next...

Although Mu Zhian had always regarded Yao Meng as his prey in the past, judging from the current situation, it is not so certain who the prey is.

Even Ye Qingxin was the same. Although Mu Zhian's scheme to sow discord was very successful in getting Ye Qingxin away from Ye Yu, she even developed a considerable liking for him.

However, while Ye Qingxin was Mu Zhian's prey, perhaps Mu Zhian was the prey to the ancestor of the Ye family who lived on in the world.

Before Mu Zhi'an was even born, the Azure Emperor was already an empress standing tall in the world. What storms hadn't she seen?

Ultimately, it was Qingdi, not Mu Zhian, who first took the initiative to kiss Mu Zhian.

"What's wrong? You didn't lose much spiritual energy today, it was more of a mental drain. You shouldn't be so tired that you want to sleep, right?"

Seeing that Mu Zhian did not answer for a long time, Yao Meng looked down at him, blinked her bright eyes, and looked rather playful.

But those who know her well know that this cunning fairy is clearly teasing him on purpose.

There was still no sound from inside the room, and Mu Zhian, who was currently in Yao Meng's arms, enjoying the soft embrace of her, remained silent.

Just as Yao Meng raised her eyebrows slightly, about to speak again, Mu Zhian grabbed Yao Meng's wrist and gently moved the hand that was originally on the back of his head away.

Before Yao Meng could react, he rolled over and kissed her full lips, right before her slightly widened eyes.

"Waaah..."

Yao Meng's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Then, she half-closed her beautiful eyes, gazing at Mu Zhi'an with shyness and timidity. She wrapped her arms around Mu Zhi'an's neck again, letting him take what he wanted. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly as she felt the intense emotions that the young man was aroused to be.

After a while, emerald green light particles silently lit up in the quilt, and Yao Meng put the dress made of Nirvana Silk into her storage ring.

Mu Zhian suddenly threw off the covers, casually pulled up the hazy bed curtains, and looked down at Yao Meng, whose beautiful eyes were filled with moisture.

Those unaware of the truth might doubt which of the two is at the Refining Spirit Realm and which is at the Harmony Realm.

Yao Meng was quite cooperative. Even though she could easily suppress this minor cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm with a wave of her hand, she let him do as he pleased. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Mu Zhi'an lower his head to kiss her cheek, but she didn't care at all.

Strands of hair fell casually across her fair, alabaster skin, adding a touch of languid charm.

Time flowed silently, and the empress who stood tall in the world was gradually suppressed by Mu Zhian and seemed to become much more obedient.

……

Late that night.

After a night of hard work, Mu Zhian's innate spiritual energy was greatly depleted. Yao Meng gently pressed Mu Zhian onto her lap, giving him a soft and comfortable knee pillow.

Meanwhile, Yao Meng was leisurely combing his hair.

So what if the innate furnace is occupied? As long as the innate furnace completes its advancement, it will be easy for her to return to it at that time.

As for Lan Mulian's intimate behavior today... although she was indeed a little unhappy at first, she thought about it carefully later and realized that since she had cheated on someone, she should naturally be prepared to be cheated on in return.

As long as I don't feel like I've been cheated on, then I'm the one cheating on others.

and……

As long as Mu Zhi'an is still with her, even if she makes him into the shape of the Azure Emperor... it's really hard to say who's cheating on whom.

Boom!

Mu Zhian was enjoying the soft warmth of Yao Meng's lap pillow when suddenly a deafening thunderclap rang out.

He glanced out the window; it was towards the south bank.

“It’s a pill tribulation; someone is probably refining pills,” Yao Meng explained after glancing at it.

Elixir Tribulation?

Mu Zhi'an's mind stirred slightly, and she asked, "Does sister know what grade of pill tribulation it is?"

It should be noted that the profession of alchemist is extremely rare. Currently, the South Bank is mainly inhabited by cultivators who came from outside the region. If it comes to refining pills, the person most likely to come to mind is the Empress of Yuzhou and the people she brought with her.

Yao Meng raised her hand and made a hand seal, her eyes slightly closed, as if she were calculating something.

"Sixth-grade Pill Tribulation".

After a short while, she answered.

"Is it that Medicine King of Yuzhou?" Mu Zhian guessed.

"That's unlikely. She just refined the pills you took today and should be meditating and cultivating right now," Yao Meng said, shaking her head.

At this moment, Luo Tan, who appeared in the Liangyi Sect, was only a wisp of spiritual consciousness. He had refined a Dao Heart Pill and even after passing the Pill Tribulation, he still had to meditate for a whole night.

"That's true... Besides, the Medicine King should have quite a few sixth-grade pills, so there's no need to specially refine them," Mu Zhian muttered to himself.

So, it must be the holy son and daughter of Yuzhou, or perhaps Xiao Shuixian?

If it were the Holy Maiden of Yuzhou or Xiao Shuixian, that would be fine, but if it were Xiao Hua...

As if he had thought of something, a hint of coldness flashed in Mu Zhian's eyes.

Today, Xiao Hua is hiding near Tianhe Garden. Although Xiao Hua tried to restrain his hostility at the time, the innate furnace can easily detect other people's emotions and spiritual energy fluctuations.

If Xiao Hua is refining a sixth-grade pill, then what is his purpose?

Xiao Hua's competition is tomorrow, but he's choosing this crucial moment to refine a sixth-grade pill... This is quite concerning.

However, even if it really was Xiao Hua refining the pills, it wouldn't put much pressure on Mu Zhi'an.

Now everyone in the sect knows that Mu Zhi'an is the Daoist partner of the Azure Emperor's sister, and the Azure Emperor will definitely be in Tianhe Garden... Nowadays, even a fool would not dare to make a move against Mu Zhi'an in Tianhe Garden.

Unless... he happens to be away from Tianhe Garden one day, and coincidentally, he doesn't have any protectors secretly guarding him.

Mu Zhian unconsciously curved a faint smile into his eyes.

From this perspective, even if Xiao Hua doesn't intend to make a move, he can still lure Xiao Hua ashore...

Yao Meng glanced at the smile that was intentionally or unintentionally appearing on Mu Zhi'an's face and knew that he must be planning something.

However, she did not intend to ask further questions, giving Mu Zhian appropriate freedom, which was also a kind of training for him.

"By the way, sister, do you know the identity of the old man inside Ye Yu's body?"

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered this matter and couldn't help but ask about it.

Hearing this, Yao Meng also snapped out of her thoughts, glanced down at Mu Zhian, and said leisurely, "Yao Shan, he used to be quite famous in Dongzhou. After he attained enlightenment, he traveled to the Nine Provinces and even studied alchemy in Yuzhou."

"Speaking of which, Yao Shan can be considered half a disciple of Luo Tan."

"Does Sister Qingdi know him too?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

“The profession of alchemist is extremely special in the Nine Provinces. When Yao Shan traveled through the Nine Provinces in the past, he always intended to make friends with various forces. In addition, he was able to refine ninth-grade pills when he was in the Enlightenment Realm... He wanted to make friends with people, and others were naturally willing to do so,” Yao Meng explained.

"Over time, he came to know people all over Kyushu."

“In the past, Luo Tan possessed a cauldron called the Cauldron of Transforming All Things into Qi. It was rumored that with this cauldron, one could refine immortal pills of grade nine or higher. At that time, Yao Shan wanted to borrow the Cauldron of Transforming All Things into Qi, but Luo Tan naturally refused.”

As the Azure Emperor recounted the untold secrets of the past, Mu Zhi'an leisurely enjoyed the softness of her Azure Emperor sister's lap as a pillow, while falling into deep thought.

"Why did Yaoshan die later?" he suddenly asked.

Logically speaking, an alchemist who knows all sorts of big shots in the Nine Provinces should be able to command respect and influence, if not wield great power, but if he wanted to live in seclusion in a remote corner, no one should dare to provoke him.

Why did it later end up inside Ye Yu's body?

"Perhaps he was blinded by the Cauldron of All Things Transformed into Qi, or perhaps he became arrogant after befriending many powerful figures in the past. Yao Shan took a liking to the Cauldron of All Things Transformed into Qi and wanted to secretly borrow it, but in the end, Luo Tan saw through his scheme."

"What would happen if the only alchemist in the Dao Integration Realm of the Nine Provinces got angry? You can imagine the result."

Yao Meng chuckled softly, her slender hand gently stroking Mu Zhi'an's face as she continued, "Yao Shan perished, leaving only a remnant of his spiritual consciousness to escape. Most people thought he had already perished, but unexpectedly, it is now residing in Ye Yu's body."

"No wonder...it turns out this person had a wide circle of friends in the past?" Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian almost burst out laughing, recalling Ye Yu's various actions.

Since Yao Shan is able to befriend so many powerful figures, he must have high emotional intelligence. Why doesn't he know how to teach Ye Yu a lesson?

In his previous life, Yao Shan was at the Enlightenment Realm, yet he was able to refine ninth-grade pills, so it's no wonder he was so popular...
