Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

"That's straightforward..." Chu Mingkong nodded and said sincerely:

"Alright, I wonder how much Princess Ruyu wants. I just feel that my master's wife gave me too much power in this one breath, and I still have to waste this precious power on maintaining the Nirvana Domain. I feel ashamed to accept it!"

"It's alright. Ten years of cultivation in the origin may be a lifelong pursuit for a novice cultivator, but once one reaches a certain level, it's just a drop in the ocean, nothing special. Ruyu said that taking your antidote is fun and can help with weapon cultivation. I'll give her more this time. Do you have any objections?"

His master's wife's move was actually a way of forcibly giving him power. If he didn't take all of this original cultivation at once, and instead let this original cultivation clone return to his master's wife, a lot of it would be wasted on the way.

"Of course not, what's mine is mine, and I'll do my best to make sure there's enough!"

Shen Xuejun stood up, her large, shapely chest heaving slightly. She walked up to Chu Mingkong and brushed the snow off his head and shoulders.

"Stop wasting time and hurry up. This spirit-gathering array is too small and the spiritual energy of the mountain is not good enough to support my original spiritual energy. If you have something important to do, take the portion of original spiritual energy that is about to dissipate."

"Alright!" Chu Mingkong said gratefully, then added, "Master's wife, should I change this time?"

"If you feel you want it, then take it; if you don't, then don't."

After speaking, Shen Xuejun stared at him with her beautiful eyes, her face expressionless, but Chu Mingkong felt a sense of pressure from that gaze.

He had changed, and then Shen Xuejun skillfully held him in her arms.

Just as Chu Mingkong was about to ask how to absorb the dissipated primordial spiritual energy with minimal loss, Shen Xuejun, as if she could read his mind, spoke up first:

"It is difficult for my clone to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to replenish itself, but this original spiritual energy is trapped in the spirit gathering array and has not been completely returned to heaven and earth. It still contains my aura. Although I suffer losses when I absorb it, it is still less than what you would suffer."

Chu Mingkong, who had shrunk in size, nodded in agreement. Since he didn't understand anyway, nodding was enough. He swallowed and asked, "So this time, we'll eat Master's wife's saliva again?"

"No, let's look at it another way. You're a bit short now, and it's uncomfortable for me to bend over."

So why do I need to shrink? But even if I asked, I'd probably only get an answer from my master's wife like, "It's comfortable when I hold you."

However, this situation was still somewhat unexpected...

He saw his master's wife gently pull down the fabric at her chest, and her plump white breasts, freed from their restraints, bounced and swayed before Chu Mingkong's eyes. He stared, dumbfounded.

Shen Xuejun lifted his head with her arm and stuffed the dumpling into his mouth. The sweet and pungent taste, rich with primordial spiritual energy, surged on his taste buds.

The aloof and indifferent beautiful woman grasped Chu Mingkong's remarkably well-grown medicinal ingredient again, and said with an expressionless gaze:

"This way, we can also get the medicine at the same time. Relax, your master's wife will take it out for you, and you can rest your head on your master's wife's lap."

Chu Mingkong: "?"

Chapter 120 My Master's Wife Seems a Bit Off (3.3/8)

Shen Xuejun's slender figure emanated an icy aura as she peeled the antidote liquid from her palm. The liquid, enveloped in cold air, floated in mid-air and condensed into a "sandwiched milk antidote pill."

One by one, the pills were controlled to fly into the white porcelain bottle, and the cold energy then condensed into an ice stopper to seal the bottle.

On the table, there were ten bottles arranged in a row, each containing either antidote syrup or antidote ice pills, all of which were "refined" by Shen Xuejun herself.

Chu Mingkong looked at the bottles of stuff, his heart filled with complex emotions, unsure whether to let his master's wife continue or what...

"Burp~" He let out a burp, feeling satisfied from his taste buds to his body and mind.

This is a very strange thing. This is just the original incarnation of the master's wife. It is impossible to squeeze out the juice that only pregnant women can produce. What Chu Mingkong absorbed was just the original spiritual energy. It's just that the source of this spiritual energy is a little different. But whether it comes from the thin lips of the young woman above or from another mouth, the essence is the same.

However, Chu Mingkong felt that this time the primordial spiritual energy seemed even more delicious.

At present, Shen Xuejun's original avatar has absorbed about 70% of its cultivation. The snow mountain under its feet still exists, but it is a wind and snow barrier left to prevent people from coming up the mountain to disturb it. The overflowing original spiritual energy has been absorbed into its body.

Just as Chu Mingkong raised his hand to wipe his mouth, Shen Xuejun, seeing this, casually picked up the milk-scented undergarment and used it to wipe his mouth. Chu Mingkong said:

"Master's wife, are ten bottles enough?"

Shen Xuejun wasn't one to speak tactfully; she said bluntly, "That depends on whether you still have it or not."

"There are definitely more... Aside from this time, please feel free to ask me for help whenever you need it, Master's wife."

Chu Mingkong felt little burden on his body. This did not seem to be due to the strengthening of his physique by his cultivation, but rather because the extreme yang energy he had absorbed from Empress Pei was quite abundant. Extreme yang energy has a strong life force, which helped his body recover very quickly and subtly accelerated his return to normal.

If it weren't for the fear of Shen Xuejun's opinion, Chu Mingkong felt that he could return to his normal state right now; this must have been an accidental discovery.

Seeing that he had eaten enough, Shen Xuejun wondered why his heart was glowing as if it contained several fireflies.

"The extreme yang energy came from someone else. Such strong extreme yang power must have been enhanced by your physical constitution, but it didn't even hurt you."

Our unorthodox cultivation method is just that special... I shouldn't need to explain to my master's wife how we managed to make the two forces of extreme yin and extreme yang coexist.

Shen Xuejun stared expressionlessly at the boy's heart, her cool, jade-like hand gently caressing the skin there. Chu Mingkong hesitated, wondering whether to tell his master's wife that this was the effect of the combined cultivation method, but seeing that Shen Xuejun didn't press him further, he remained silent.

But Shen Xuejun asked about something else instead:

"Why did you deplete the power I gave you so quickly this time? The power of the Annihilation Domain shouldn't have been depleted to this extent."

"It might be because he was active in the palace, which seems to have some influence on the Nirvana Domain. Secondly, my disciple accidentally had murderous thoughts and had to rely on his master's wife's original spiritual energy to suppress his state of mind."

"I see. If you're active in the palace, that's equivalent to being active in the core area of ​​a top-tier sect with extremely high security. It's understandable that the consumption of the Nirvana Domain would increase dramatically. The primordial spiritual energy I'm giving you this time should be enough for you for a while."

"Wait a minute, Master's wife, you just said that the imperial palace is equivalent to the core area of ​​a first-class sect? Is the Heavenly Extreme Royal Family that powerful?"

"The Tianji royal family is not powerful, but the layout of that small area of ​​the palace should not be underestimated. That kind of skill could not have been achieved by the Tianji royal family itself. It was obtained by suppressing the bandits during the founding of the country, which was a long time ago."

As she spoke, Shen Xuejun took out a scroll. Chu Mingkong took it, unfolded it, and glanced at it. At first glance, he thought it was a map of the Heavenly Palace, because many places were very similar. Only some unimportant places were different. Moreover, this map also incorporated an array formed according to the terrain and veins.

This scroll is a copy, but the text used to mark various places on the map is ancient and complex, unlike the commonly used script today.

...No, Master's wife, you've directly exposed the entire palace?

Is it because the master's wife has profound knowledge, or is it that the Heavenly Empire actually has no secrets among the major cultivation sects?

While he was still lost in thought, Shen Xuejun took the opportunity to say:

"This is just a rough outline and cannot be considered a true array diagram. We must not be careless just because we have this diagram. However, some of the weaknesses of the array I have circled are there. If necessary, you can escape from these points. If you really cannot escape, I can try to get you out in the future. But if I intervene, even if you do not belong to the Wenqing Pavilion in the future, you will belong to me."

Chu Mingkong blinked as he looked at the map. In the past, when he encountered such situations, he would usually consider whether the other party had set a trap on the map to force him to submit. However, his master's wife, Shen Xuejun, did not seem to be the type to use such underhanded tactics.

"Master's wife, may I ask how this map was obtained? Do those major sects have such detailed knowledge of the Heavenly Extreme Royal Family? Does the Heavenly Extreme Royal Family have no secrets at all?"

"No, even if the sect leader of the Sword Profound Sect were to go to the Heavenly Extreme Imperial Palace alone, he would most likely suffer a serious injury. This map was offered to a force by the current Heavenly Extreme Emperor in order to obtain some control over the power and support. It was just recently."

Chu Mingkong remained silent for a moment, feeling that his master's wife's words contained a great deal of information, as if she had casually told him some very important things.

According to the master's wife, the power of the Heavenly Palace lies in the fact that it represents the lost wisdom of their ancestors, not merely the unique advantage of the dragon vein. Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor recently offered up his palace's layout map in exchange for support and methods to control power...

The fact that the master's wife knew so much and could even show him the map presented by the emperor directly suggests that she was also a member of some kind of force.

This kind of information was definitely not something his teacher's wife revealed to him unintentionally. Given her way of thinking, important information would definitely be categorized into a "cannot be spoken" rule, and she would never mention it casually.

He looked up at Shen Xuejun and found that she was also looking at him, her gaze calm and unreadable, revealing no emotion or thoughts she was trying to express.

Should we ask what organization it is, so he can go in and see if there are any young girls?

No, I'd rather not. If it were possible to say so, my master's wife would have said it directly just now.

"There is still 30% of the original spiritual energy left. Do you want more? If not, I will dissipate my power. You can ask someone to send these antidotes to my sect."

"Yes, I will." Chu Mingkong nodded honestly.

Shen Xuejun opened the other side of her clothes and made no further move, only looking at Chu Mingkong. Chu Mingkong thought she would stuff the white dumpling into his mouth again, so he automatically moved closer.

He took what he deserved.

Chapter 121 Waiting for Night to Fall (3.5/18)

On the way back to the capital, Chu Mingkong returned to his original size. He kept sensing the power of his master's wife that he had just absorbed. Perhaps because he had absorbed more this time, the benefits to him were much more obvious than before.

Previously, he had only stored up his power for a day or two, saving it for use in the Nirvana Domain. But now, with over ten years' worth of primordial spiritual energy entering his body, its effects are multifaceted.

Most notably, he gained better control over the power he acquired through dual cultivation. Shen Xuejun's primordial spiritual energy contained the meaning of "restraint." This unique state of mind did not directly suppress his extreme Yin and Yang power, but rather enhanced his self-control, thereby stabilizing the fluctuations of his power.

After absorbing Empress Pei's extreme Yang power, Chu Mingkong was actually quite worried that this enormous power might affect the effect of the extreme Yin power on concealing his aura.

The injuries left by the extreme Yin power had been disgusting for him for a long time, but as things stand, there is still no solution to the situation where this extremely Yin and evil power has extinguished his aura. It would be ridiculous if others failed to find a way to deal with it and he ended up breaking his own power.

However, his master's wife's original spiritual energy was like timely rain, relieving his worries. The golden heart "turned off" and returned to its previous appearance. However, the purplish-black part of the mutated skin was healed and restored. Now only the heart area is still abyssal.

"I hope it wasn't my master's wife who drained me dry, stealing that portion of my extreme yang energy..."

He hadn't forgotten his master's wife's request. The first thing he did upon returning to the capital was to find a security escort agency to deliver the "express package" to Wenqing Pavilion. In addition to the antidotes that Princess Ruyu wanted, Chu Mingkong also stuffed in a large pile of snacks. Only after watching the security escort agency's urgent delivery team rush off to deliver the goods did Chu Mingkong feel at ease to leave.

"Oh, right!" Chu Mingkong suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering an important thing he had forgotten: "I forgot to give the elixir to my master's wife!"

He took out the spiritual herb he had purchased under the guidance of the system's "Good Mother." The herb was named "Immaculate Essence-Nourishing Sacred Snow Lotus," a name that was quite frighteningly long.

The main body is a snow lotus with pure white petals that are slightly translucent. The whole thing is about the size of Chu Mingkong's head. This is because the spiritual herb he bought is of extremely high age, four thousand years old, which is more valuable than any idol who appears once in four thousand years.

If he didn't need to keep some reserve funds for himself, Chu Mingkong would have simply stretched out the entire year.

The description of this snow lotus states that it grows in extremely cold and harsh places, actively absorbing the essence of ice and snow from heaven and earth and storing it within itself. A gentle tap on the tender part of the flower's stamen and center will release a cool, clear white sap. The medicinal plant is a treasure, and so is the refined snow water contained within this snow lotus.

"I remember mentioning that I was going to get medicine for my master's wife, but she asked me about other things, and I gradually forgot about it..."

"Is this some kind of deliberate attempt to make me forget, hoping I won't accept it? Or do they think the medicinal plant I gave them is insignificant and don't want it?"

Chu Mingkong took out a piece of paper and wrote in a flowing, flamboyant hand:

"Master's wife, I have already sent the antidote that Princess Ruyu needs through the escort agency."

"Very well, I will have my disciple search for it along the way."

[There's one more thing. I forgot to give the prepared elixir to my master's wife. This elixir took a lot of my effort and time; I hope she won't find it offensive!]

Chu Mingkong thought Shen Xuejun would refuse and let him keep it for himself, but the words on the note were beyond his expectations; his master's wife accepted it very directly.

【Alright, but the elixir is too precious to be delivered by someone else. You can come to see your master's wife in person when you have time. There's no need to rush. I appreciate your kind intentions.】

Chu Mingkong stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Is it possible that the topic was changed halfway through so that I would personally go to the Asking Love Pavilion later, turn myself into a virgin, and continue 'refining a virgin' to obtain medicine?"

Forget it, it's not like it's a den of dragons or tigers, and Yunhan is there too, so let's just go.

Chu Mingkong flipped through a few pages of the paper book in his hand and found the page with Feng Ying.

[Wind Shadow, how much longer until you arrive?]

[Tonight is fine. Where shall we stay then? We can't go to the Cui residence now, right? Or are we planning to stay at your Prince's mansion in the dark?]

"It's dark under the lamp," Chu Mingkong thought. He didn't believe the emperor would be lax about his palace. Besides, no one had lived there for so long; the dust was thick enough to be used as a blanket. He had no intention of cleaning it.

On his way to visit his master's wife today, Chu Mingkong also stopped by the farm that Aunt Gu had bought before. There was no disturbance there, and the surrounding area was safe, although it was sealed off.
