Fairy, help me cultivate.

"What did I do now?"

Jiang Bailin held his arm tightly, her plump breasts almost completely covering it, but even so, she seemed to feel it wasn't enough.

“I know you sent me up the mountain to deliver the message because you were afraid I would be in danger… But I’m not afraid of danger. What I’m more afraid of is that when we are in danger, we won’t be together.”

Chen Yao was touched by her words.

"Miss..."

"Don't call me 'Big Sister'!"

"Bai Lin".

"Yes, Bai Lin is here! With Bai Lin here, I won't be separated from you anymore."

That's not necessarily true... Chen Yao thought of all his many female confidantes.

I wonder where Yun Jiang went?

He gazed at the blood-stained sky and suddenly felt a pang of melancholy.

What we can't have always seems to be the best...

Not long after, Jiang's elites arrived at Chaoqing Peak, and Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Bailin once again adopted the demeanor of someone in charge, and began sending messages to his family, launching a war against the Pang and Li families.

With nothing to do, Chen Yao returned to the thatched hut, only to be greeted by the excited return of the Green Ox Taoist.

Beside him was a quiet and elegant woman.

The woman's appearance was not particularly outstanding, but she possessed a unique and refined air.

"Young friend! You have done me a great favor! You have done me a great favor!"

The Green Ox Taoist grabbed Chen Yao's hand with a broad smile. He turned to the woman and said, "Ox, why don't you thank your benefactor!"

The woman walked awkwardly and stiffly, giving Chen Yao a curtsy: "Thank you, benefactor..."

Her tone of voice was strange, as if she were shouting from her nose.

Chen Yao looked at the woman and asked the Green Ox Taoist with a puzzled expression, "Master, who is this?"

"This is my virtuous wife, and also the blue ox I ride!"

?

Chen Yao expressed his shock; the Green Ox Taoist's peculiarities were truly unique, and he wondered whether he liked them or not...

The Green Ox Taoist ignored his surprised expression: "For the past two hundred years, I have tried every method to transform the ox into a human. Three years ago, my method of refining the body with ten thousand poisons failed, and I was already disheartened. Unexpectedly, yesterday the Pang family sent someone to invite me, saying that they have a new body transformation technique."

Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat, naturally recognizing it as the technique that Pang Xi had used to transform a person into a monster: "This technique is completely evil. Not only will it not transform a person into a human, but it will also turn a person into a monster."

The Green Ox Taoist shook his head: "That's because they're not cultivating properly. But you're right, that's clearly a demonic sect's technique. We righteous people shouldn't stoop to such low levels. Therefore, I had no intention of cooperating with them. Who knew that heaven would take pity on me and let me meet you!"

He shook Chen Yao's hand affectionately: "Tell me! What do you want me to do for you, young friend, so that I can repay you!"

Chen Yao smiled and said, "The fact that you cured the Jiang family patriarch is the greatest favor I can ask of you. Moreover, this Transformation Pill was made by Bai Lian. Even if it has some effect on you, it is still the Jiang family's achievement."

"That's not how it works. Everything depends on fate and destiny. Today, my young friend brought the Transformation Pill, which means it's your destiny. As for the Jiang family, they have been kind to me, and I will naturally do my best to repay them. There's no need to go into details."

As he spoke, the Green Ox Taoist examined Chen Yao for a few moments, then suddenly rolled up his sleeve and took his pulse.

"A real person?"

The Green Ox Daoist closed his eyes and took his pulse for a long while before slowly opening them: "Young friend, the energy within your body is extremely mixed! Moreover, I observe that your lower yang energy is abundant, suggesting that you are specializing in dual cultivation... To have cultivated dual cultivation to your level is indeed commendable, but young friend, do you know that you have already gone astray? If you continue to have intercourse with women several more times, it will inevitably lead to the shrinking of your golden core and the collapse of your dantian!"

Chapter 168 Improved Dual Cultivation, A Complete Transformation

Chen Yao curled his lip, unconvinced by the Green Ox Taoist's alarmist talk.

It's true that he casually studied the dual cultivation method, but what truly affected his cultivation was the system!

Seeing that Chen Yao didn't believe him, the Green Ox Taoist shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, do you have an unusual sensitivity to other people's talents?"

Chen Yao was genuinely surprised this time, but more than that, he was wary.

The Green Ox Taoist seemed oblivious to his wariness and continued, "However, you've become increasingly insensitive. Perhaps you haven't even noticed the talents of those around you day and night for a long time, have you?"

Chen Yao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The system hasn't detected any entries related to the women around us for a long time: Su Quanyu, Jiang Bailin, Su Ning...

He always thought it was because their talent wasn't outstanding enough...

Isn't that right?

The Green Ox Taoist released his hand, stroked his beard and smiled: "This all started when you practiced the dual cultivation method incorrectly."

Is there any hope?

This matter is of great importance and Chen Yao cannot ignore it.

The Green Ox Taoist chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'll help you correct your cultivation level and help you reach a higher level!"

With that, he pushed Chen Yao into the thatched hut.

Chen Yao could still detect a hint of excitement on the Green Ox Taoist's face: "Master, is it not possible to not go in?"

"No! Stop talking nonsense!"

The Taoist priest pressed him down on the straw mat and began fiddling with the broken wooden table in front of the window, which was filled with a dazzling array of medicines and bottles. After a stick of incense had burned, he handed a black porcelain bottle to Chen Yao.

"Drinked."

Chen Yao opened it and took a sniff; a pungent, irritating smell hit him right in the head.

"This is a warming medicine to clear your lower yang energy. Once your lower yang energy is cleared, I can guide you back to your original state. At that time, not only will your natural talents be fully restored, but you will also be exceptionally powerful, skillful, and efficient in bed and during dual cultivation. Unless..."

The Green Ox Taoist remained silent.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you are willing to have your golden core destroyed and that part rendered useless, you don't have to drink it!"

Hearing him speak so frighteningly, Chen Yao thought to himself that Qingniu Daoist had no grudge against him, and he probably didn't have anything on him that Qingniu Daoist would covet, so he wouldn't have any malicious intentions.

At most, he learned through pulse diagnosis that he could detect a woman's talent and wanted to explore it further.

Even if he wanted to possess it, he wouldn't dare to cause any damage to his own body, otherwise it would all be for naught.

After much deliberation, Chen Yao steeled himself and swallowed the bottle of medicine while holding his breath.

It felt like swallowing a mouthful of shards of glass; soon, that chaotic, stinging sensation traveled down a line into my lower abdomen.

Chen Yao suddenly looked up, as if he were about to explode.

Looking at the massive tent, the Green Ox Taoist couldn't help but feel envious. He waved his hand and chased the stunned Green Ox away.

He said to Chen Yao in an annoyed tone, "Purify your mind and reduce your desires, stay true to your original nature."

"It's a bit difficult..."

"Bear with it!"

The Green Ox Taoist pulled out an acupuncture kit, picked up a row of slender silver needles, and with a flick of his two fingers, the silver needles accurately pierced Chen Yao's acupoints.

A tingling or itchy sensation arises at various acupoints and simultaneously converges towards the lower abdomen.

Chen Yao was breathing heavily. If Jiang Bailin came in now, he was afraid he would really lose his temper and fight her.

After about half an incense stick's time of torment, the Green Ox Taoist rose up and flew to the top of Chen Yao's head, his fingertip pointing directly at the Baihui point on the top of his head.

A cool, refreshing energy descended from the top of my head, spreading throughout my limbs and bones, gently soothing away the throbbing tingling, stinging, and desire.

Chen Yao let out a long, comfortable breath, and a wisp of extremely foul-smelling black gas spewed from his mouth.

“Perform the dual cultivation method once.”

"Above my head," said the Green Ox Taoist calmly.

Chen Yao did as instructed and began practicing the dual cultivation method.

At crucial moments, the fingers pressing against his crown of the head release spiritual energy to manipulate the spiritual energy he is circulating according to the incantation, guiding it back to its origin.

Before we knew it, night had fallen, and the area outside the thatched hut was completely silent except for the chirping of insects.

Chen Yao finished practicing the Dharma, and the fingertips above his head also retracted.

He felt somewhat exhausted. When he opened his eyes, he realized that not only was he drenched in sweat, but even the straw mat he was sitting on was damp.

The Green Ox Taoist landed slowly, a look of accomplishment and satisfaction on his face: "How does it feel?"

Chen Yao felt utterly exhausted, but he understood that with the guidance of the Green Ox Taoist, he had probably transformed the ordinary dual cultivation technique into a top-grade one, and he no longer needed to learn it again. The path of meridian circulation had also been naturally imprinted in his mind.

"Thank you, Master."

He thanked him weakly.

The Green Ox Taoist stroked his beard and laughed: "No rush to thank me. You should truly thank me after you've rested properly and are ready for true dual cultivation! Hahaha..."

After saying that, he laughed loudly and strode away.

In an instant, the night was still and the mountains were empty, the bright moon hung in the window, and everything seemed to be washed clean and pure.

Unable to hold on any longer, Chen Yao collapsed onto the straw mat and fell into a deep sleep.

As the mountain mist, carrying the first rays of sunlight, caressed his cheeks, he awoke slowly to the calls of the young Taoist boy, feeling completely refreshed, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth unconsciously seeped into his pores.

"You're finally awake."

The young Taoist boy sat on the ground beside the straw mat, holding a long straw stick in his hand. When he saw Chen Yao open his eyes, he quickly threw the straw stick away.

Chen Yao got up and found that the straw bed beneath him had been replaced with a dry and thick straw mat.

"What time is it now?"

The young Taoist chuckled and said, "If you ask what time of day it is, it's just after 5 a.m. If you ask when you arrived at Chaoqing Peak, it's exactly three days and one night."

"Three days?"

Chen Yao got up, quickly walked out of the thatched hut, and released his divine sense, only to find that there was no trace of any Jiang family member on the entire mountain.

Jiang Bailin was not there either.

"What about them?"
