Fairy, help me cultivate.

Jiang Baisha gazed quietly at the city shrouded in smoke and dust, listening to the sounds of wind, fire, and shouts, and slowly said, "We can wait, but Bai Lin and Chen Yao can't."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The Golden Dragon Ancestor actually failed here..."

His tone was full of mourning.

The Jiang family disciples surrounding him were all shocked upon hearing this. None of them believed that the Golden Dragon Ancestor, who was considered the family's ultimate weapon, would die in such an obscure little town.

Jiang Baisha tilted his head back, holding back the tears that were about to well up in his eyes: "Let's go! Everyone go. My wheelchair can conceal our presence, and it can also be used to send you signals of possible changes from here."

Jiang's disciples dispersed upon receiving the order.

The wind whipped up the black smoke from the city, swirling around the white clouds, rolling and churning above his head, crushing him and his wheelchair into an immensely small figure.

……

"Uh-huh~ Ah-ha~ Ha-ah~"

Jiang Bailin rode on Chen Yao like a white sheep, her own dew-covered buttocks bobbing up and down.

Although it was a secret room, the increasingly chaotic sounds from the city could still be heard.

This somewhat diminished the intimacy between the two.

Chen Yao thrust his hips forward with a large movement, and Jiang Bailin cried out in surprise, his upper body collapsing onto him.

What?

Jiang Bailin gently bit his chest.

"Smack!"

Chen Yao slapped her buttocks, making them sway and splash water droplets.

"Listen, the commotion outside is getting worse. We could have someone break in at any moment. We need to call it a day."

He increased the speed of his pumping.

Jiang Bailin bit her red lips and chuckled, "I can't make that decision; the tea essence is your business."

Chen Yao was stimulated by her sudden playfulness and thrust hard a few more times, making Jiang Bailin tremble all over, and water sprayed all over his belly like pearls and jade.

Jiang Bailin leaned forward slightly, and instead of penetrating him, she pressed her lips against Chen Yao's base, rubbing against him. Chen Yao was distracted, and with her deliberately seductive and alluring expression, after a hundred or so soft "squeaks," he finally lost his composure and was utterly defeated.

Jiang Bailin clapped his hands and laughed, "In the end, I still won."

Chen Yao held the delicate, jade-like body in his arms and sighed, "I actually fell for a virgin like you."

Hearing this, Jiang Bailin was even more delighted and became even more arrogant: "Now you know there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding, right?"

Chen Yao suddenly flipped over and pinned her down, sucking hard on her full, tender breasts a few times before saying, "I don't know if there are heavens beyond heavens, but adding people on top of people is inevitable."

Jiang Bailin was naturally unwilling to be pinned down, so he flipped over and straddled Chen Yao again: "Hmph, you defeated opponent, from now on only I can ride you, you're not allowed to pin me down..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp, clear sound suddenly rang out from the flowerbed.

Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was the strange green jade slip on another white jade platform.

However, the jade slip has now turned completely bright red, and the few remaining traces of green have dissipated with the cracking sound.

Jiang Bailin then remembered the purpose of his lovemaking with Chen Yao and hurriedly asked, "How are you now? Is... this working?"

Chen Yao nodded: "I can't feel anything wrong anymore."

As he spoke, he gently picked up Jiang Bailin, draped her clothes over her shoulders, and dressed himself. Then he summoned the red jade slip that the Golden Dragon Ancestor had given him once more.

The two red jade slips slowly approached each other and hovered above their heads, looking exactly the same.

"It seems that Ancestor Golden Dragon knew about this jade slip all along, and it may be of great use to our investigation of the Nine Falls and the cultivation technique. I just don't know how he obtained it."

Chen Yao watched as the two jade slips drew closer and closer, and then spoke.

Jiang Bailin shook his head: "The ancestor always has a way, but this problem is not important now. We can ask him after we get out. The problem now is, what use will these two jade slips be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two jade slips merged into one and then fell into Chen Yao's hand.

Furthermore, no other abnormalities occurred.

Chen Yao frowned.

Things shouldn't end like this, nor should they be abandoned halfway.

He channeled his spiritual energy into the jade slip, but it remained unresponsive.

He tried to infuse the jade slip with several spells to no avail. In a fit of anger, he swung his sword at it, only to find that the jade slip remained unchanged.

"Don't be discouraged. Since these two jade slips have been combined into one, that in itself explains something. Even if we can't decipher it now, we can take it back and ask the elders in our family."

Jiang Bailin comforted Chen Yao.

Chen Yao nodded: "It seems that's the only way."

Just as he was about to put away the jade slip and leave with Jiang Bailin, he suddenly remembered the reason why Jiu Luo came out of Mingyang Sect.

To find a way to resolve the hidden dangers of the immortal energy.

So, he tentatively channeled a wisp of immortal energy within his body and injected it into the jade slip.

The bloodstain on the jade slip faded instantly, disappeared, and returned to pure white.

Against the pure white backdrop, there is a graceful, ethereal figure poised to take flight.

Jiu Luo's figure.

The figure turned around amidst the cloud and mountain patterns carved on the jade slip and spoke to Chen Yao:

"You've found this place, which shows your sincerity. I've already found part of the way to eliminate the corruption of immortal energy, but how long will it take to completely solve this problem?"

She paused for a moment: "To be honest, I have been bearing the burden of peace in the South China Sea on my not-so-thick shoulders for far too long. I am tired of the endless responsibility and the search... Now, I will pass on the method I have found along with a portion of my cultivation to you, hoping that you can make the right choice."

As Jiu Luo's voice faded, the jade slip melted into a band of light at Chen Yao's fingertips, which then entered his brow.

The system prompt appeared:

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 630000 cultivation points]

[Host's cultivation level: Golden Core Stage 3 (733600/800000)]

He was so close to breaking through to the Golden Core stage?

Chen Yao saw Jiang Bailin blink at him blankly.

"Am I...am I seeing things?" Jiang Bailin stammered. "You...you're almost at the Nascent Soul stage!"

Although she won the final victory in hand-to-hand combat, in terms of actual cultivation, Jiang Bailin now feels as uncomfortable as if she had eaten ten pounds of sour oranges.

Chapter 157 Sister-in-law

Chen Yao couldn't care less about Jiang Bailin's feelings right now, because although part of the jade slip had turned into a ball of light and flowed into his body, the rest was still in his hands.

He picked up the remaining jade slip and found it was a lock.

The image of Jiu Luo unconsciously surfaced in her mind. She smiled at Chen Yao and said, "Don't even think about opening this lock. Even if you do, I won't come out."

So, Jiu Luo is inside this lock?

We finally found her, do you think she'll just disappear because she says she won't?

Chen Yao narrowed his eyes and tossed the jade lock into his storage ring.

Let's go!

The sounds of war have spread to the vicinity.

Having just finished a fierce battle, Jiang Bailin didn't want to cause any more trouble. He glared at him and followed him out of the secret chamber.

The two did not linger and ascended directly into the clouds.

Looking down, the entire city of Jinchang was a scene of devastation.

In this chaotic battlefield, mortals and cultivators are indistinguishable from one another.

"This is the legacy of the Golden Dragon Ancestor..."

Chen Yao murmured.

Jiang Bailin looked around and asked curiously, "Where is the Ancestor? Could it be that he discovered another secret and left ahead of time?"

Chen Yao looked at her, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"Jinchang City is in chaos; this place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's go!"

After saying that, Chen Yao led Jiang Bailin straight to the Jiang family's residence.

They encountered no pursuers along the way, nor did they find any Jiang family members coming to meet them.

The two landed on the Jiang family's mountain range, still somewhat puzzled.

Logically, given the significant commotion in Jinchang City, the family should have sent some people to provide support.

Following the mountain path toward the small building at the summit, Chen Yao soon saw the people coming down to greet them.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Mengyang actually came in person. He looked behind the two of them and frowned: "Where are Bai Sha and Jin Long?"

"Mission accomplished! But the Ancestor hasn't returned?"

Jiang Bailin handed the fragment of the cultivation technique jade slip to Jiang Mengyang, only then realizing that something was amiss.

Chen Yao also shook his head: "We took off directly from the city and didn't see the White Shark. The Golden Dragon Ancestor... has probably already ascended to immortality."

Jiang Bailin suddenly looked up, staring at him with disbelief in his eyes.

Chen Yao nodded to her: "When we were in the city, I was worried that you would be sad, so I didn't tell you."

Jiang Mengyang's face paled slightly, but he quickly recovered and patted Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin on the shoulders: "Great waves wash away the sand, and the legacy is passed down from generation to generation. We will eventually grow old, and you will be the future masters. Don't be too sad."

As he spoke, he pinched Chen Yao hard: "Chen Yao, you and Bai Lin did a great job. This way, the elders won't say anything more..."

"Chen Yao?!"

Jiang Bailin caught something extraordinary in Jiang Mengyang's words, and his voice cracked slightly.

Chen Yao had guessed that she would react this way, so he could only force a smile at Jiang Bailin.

Jiang Bailin's beautiful eyes welled up with tears. After glaring fiercely at Chen Yao, she transformed into a beam of white light and soared into the sky.
