I, who was turned into a woman by the Jade Maiden Master, want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

Qin Rufeng asked, puzzled, "What is that?"

Shangguan Qingxue: "It involves soaking a bath towel in the medicinal herbs and wiping the affected area. This can help relieve fatigue, restore spiritual energy, heal wounds and relieve pain, and promote blood circulation..."

Qin Rufeng thought to himself, "It's just scrubbing backs. It's not really something I'm good at, is it? There are proper public bathhouses all over Blue Star."

Then you see the four of them gulping down the unknown elixir with gusto.

Their faces were flushed from drinking, and they all stuck out their tongues...

Nangong Yue startled Qin Rufeng. Her tongue was longer than average, almost reaching the tip of her chin. Moreover, the surface of her tongue appeared fuzzy and white.

Shangguan Qingxue said, "The elixir I drank is called [Peach Blossom Charm], while Qing Shi and Jing Hong's is [Tendon-Softening Fragrance]."

"Junior Sister Nangong's is even more amazing. Hers is called 'Cat's Tongue.' During the effects of the medicine, small barbs will grow on the surface of her tongue, just like a cat's."

"Huh?" Qin Rufeng asked, puzzled. "But what does this have to do with bath towels?"

"Don't rush." ​​As she spoke, Shangguan Qingxue brought over a white cloth. Then she tied Qin Rufeng's hands behind his head tightly.

Then he took a bath towel and covered Qin Rufeng's eyes...

Immediately afterwards, Qin Rufeng felt his ankles being grabbed and lifted up.

A moment later, an intense itching sensation, like a feather gently caressing the soles of the feet, was felt.

Qin Rufeng tried to struggle, but her hands were tied, and her sisters and disciples were being kind, so she let them do as they pleased.

Then came the rippling water and the blaring of bells...

Perhaps due to the effects of the softening incense, Qin Rufeng felt his bones and muscles go weak and he couldn't move even if he wanted to struggle. Moreover, his eyes were covered, so he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, she felt her knees being gripped by the back of her legs, her knees being pressed up to her shoulders. Her toes were so tense they felt like they were about to cramp.

The hot spring water was already rich in spiritual energy, and then two qi-replenishing spiritual herbs, [Cat's Tongue] and [Azure Dragon Drill], were poured in, making the pool so full of spiritual energy that all the jade lotus flowers in the pool bloomed.

The final result was that Qin Rufeng's blood and qi flowed smoothly, his internal energy surged, and he released icy spiritual energy. The entire Jade Purity Pool instantly froze.

Fortunately, Nangong Yue was closest and used her True Qi of Li Huo to protect Qing Shi and Jing Hong, who had lower cultivation levels, thus ensuring their safety.

……

Drunk, unaware that the sky reflected in the water, a boat full of sweet dreams pressed down on the Milky Way. Qin Rufeng finally got a good night's rest.

The next morning, he felt refreshed. Qing Shi and Jing Hong were by his side, while Nangong Yue had gone out to continue purchasing the items needed by the sect.

Shangguan Qingxue had to return to Qingyuefang to attend to the business. Before leaving, she presented her with another precious item…

Chapter 195: Unsurprisingly, another unexpected event occurred.

Qin Rufeng looked at the snow-white jade in the brocade box and asked, "What is this?"

Shangguan Qingxue said, "This is a top-grade magic robe. It's a treasure I found in Yuan Mengli's secret treasury room. It's called [Snow Feather Ice Silk], which can help absorb spiritual energy and enhance water-elemental spells. It's perfect for the sect leader's sister."

Qin Rufeng was very happy and quickly accepted the robe, saying, "Thank you, Sister Qingxue."

Qingxue smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Everything in Qingyuefang, including the people and the things, is yours."

After saying that, she took her leave.

This garment comes with matching shoes and a nameplate. It's clear that this magical robe was made by a master craftsman, but it's unclear why Yuan Mengli has kept it hidden away without ever opening it.

Upon taking a look at the nameplate, Qin Rufeng immediately frowned...

This robe is no ordinary item; it is the finest of the finest. However, the requirements for the wearer are quite strict... In order to conduct spiritual energy, it must be worn close to the skin, and no other clothing is allowed underneath.

The skirt does look quite long, though; it should cover up a lot. I might give it a try…

So Qin Rufeng changed into this snow feather ice silk dress with the help of Qing Shi and Jing Hong.

The design of this robe is very daring. The extremely low-cut strapless design reveals snow-white shoulders and a pair of domineering breasts.

The deep V-neckline plunges all the way down, showing off her ample cleavage, and revealing her navel and pink heart-shaped tattoo on her lower abdomen.

Exquisite lace and nine-turn phoenix patterns are outlined by shattered silver threads, winding out a bewitching light on the skin as white as jade.

That would be a bit too flamboyant. So, the edge of the deep V-neck is adorned with messy, snow-white feathers. With the feathers covering it, the snowball-shaped cleavage appears alluring and elusive.

The white feathers overlapped on her chest, like a swan spreading its wings.

There was also a feather necklace worn around the neck. A delicate gold chain crossed down the collarbone, with a large teardrop-shaped aquamarine hanging in front of the chest, suspended above the deep valley.

Her arms and hands were adorned with gold snake armlets, jade bracelets, and various gemstone rings.

This outfit makes her look charming and elegant.

The front was like that, but the back was completely backless. Ru Feng's entire snow-white back and beautiful curves were on full display.

The V-neck opening is quite deep, revealing a pair of dimples at the waist and a little bit of the buttocks. This way, the fox tail is completely unobstructed, making it a perfect design.

The lower body is covered by a skirt that hugs the legs and hips, with a single slit on the left side extending to the waist. The white skirt is adorned with snow-white feathers.

A pair of high-heeled sandals broke Qin Rufeng's habit of going barefoot. However, these shoes could enhance the flow of spiritual energy.

Ru Feng removed her silk stockings and stepped into the shoes, discovering that the heels were extremely high. Only a thin strap pierced through the instep, exposing the entire back of her foot.

Snow-white feet, red toenails, and red-soled high-heeled sandals are simply perfect. The crisscrossing straps create a mesh pattern on the calves.

The most amazing part of this robe is on the back. That backless design has a purpose. Through the permeation of spiritual energy, a pair of snow-white wings can grow on the back.

These wings are so soft that they can be folded over the body like a feathered cloak.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Qin Rufeng should be wearing a feathered cloak and a long skirt. Only when her wings are spread will the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains and deep valleys be revealed to the world.

This outfit is nice, but there's a problem: it's too form-fitting. The bell-shaped earrings that Qin Rufeng used to seal the Jade Dew Gu wouldn't be suitable.

Fortunately, Qin Rufeng found a better method in the "Collection of Secret Talismans of the Great Void" that allows him to directly integrate talismans into objects.

So she retrieved a pair of gemstone clasp earrings from Yuan Mengli's jewelry treasury. Coin-sized rubies were set in gold settings. A small post formed the base of the setting, making the entire clasp resemble a mushroom tack.

With just a slight twist of the gemstone, the small pillar will bloom like a pear blossom.

With this, there's no need to wear the rune bell earrings anymore.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly. If things continued this way, barring any unforeseen circumstances… something unexpected was about to happen.

Some major sects in Cangyun City finally began to make trouble.

They joined forces to send a visiting card. It's only natural for an established sect to come and pay a visit when a new sect is established.

Qin Rufeng also possessed the demeanor of a sect leader, and naturally welcomed fellow practitioners from various sects.

Of course, she also knew that this visit wouldn't just be for tea. There would be a competition to see who was more capable.

On the appointed day, Qin Rufeng opened the sect's Dharma Gate to welcome fellow disciples from all sects to the Xuan Nu Palace.

Here, the various sects played a little trick. They said they would come in the afternoon, but they arrived early in the morning. Qin Rufeng couldn't very well turn them away, so he had no choice but to invite them in.

However, neither Nangong Yue nor Shangguan Qingxue were present at this time. Fortunately, Cang Shuyun had been invited by Qin Rufeng the night before, and with her there to back things up, Rufeng was quite confident.

However, Cang Shuyun couldn't show herself. If the major sects followed the rules, it wouldn't be her turn to appear.

Led by Qing Shi Jing Hong, the members of various sects arrived at the main hall of Xuan Nu Palace.

As everyone stepped into the hall, they saw that the furnishings of Jun Yangqi were luxurious and elegant.

Blue brick floor, sandalwood platform, vermilion lacquered dragon dwelling, cloud-patterned purple-gold beams. Silver bells with tassels hang from the eaves, and purple-gold incense burns in the bronze censer, wisps of blue smoke rising.

Sect Leader Liu Ruyan did not sit on the lotus platform or the Dharma seat. Instead, she sat upright on the golden nanmu dragon chair on the nine-tiered platform.

She was dressed in white, her robes draped with feathers. A colorful phoenix perched on her shoulder, her gaze clear and cold. She had lost some of the alluring charm of the fairy musician in people's minds, but gained more of the dignified demeanor of a sect leader.

Among the many sect members, Qin Rufeng immediately recognized Luo Li, the Third Elder of the Wuxiang Sect, who had previously caused trouble. It seemed today wouldn't be peaceful.

Everyone took their seats and enjoyed tea, offering their congratulations on the completion of the Xuan Nu Sect's main hall.

After a few pleasantries, they quickly got down to business. Representatives from various sects chimed in, all inevitably bringing up the topic of Zi Jin Qiong.

They all said the same thing. While they weren't shamelessly trying to steal the Purple Gold Jade Root, they were implying that Qin Rufeng had to hand over a certain number of Purple Gold Jade Flowers to the various sects.

Qin Rufeng had never lost a verbal battle; she remained composed and countered each move with tactful yet firm refusal.

There's no point in continuing this discussion now.

When it comes to persuading others, physical methods are the most effective. Perhaps in this world, that also includes persuasion through magic.

After a few words, someone said that Sect Leader Liu had profound cultivation and superb magic skills, and wanted to "learn a thing or two" from him.

Qin Rufeng knew that what was meant to come would surely return, so he gladly accepted it. He then invited everyone to the martial arts training ground outside the main hall.

The first to appear was Cao Fei, an elder of the Baji Hall.

At first glance, this man didn't look like a Taoist immortal with a serene and otherworldly air, nor did he resemble the muscular physique of most body cultivators.

In reality, he was also a body cultivator, but he was like a mountain of flesh. He had broad shoulders, a waist like a water vat, arms like iron pillars, and thighs like elephant feet.

His thick eyebrows were like fire, making his facial features almost squeezed together. But his small eyes were bright and piercing.

Upon seeing Cao Fei's appearance, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves...

"It won't be easy to get past Liu Qinxian."

"That's right, it's like a crane encountering a bull, it's definitely at a disadvantage."

"Elder Cao's close-combat skills are Liu Qinxian's absolute nemesis."

"She didn't have time to unleash her musical skills or sword formation."

"Hehe, it's not just a disadvantage, it's practically bullying."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Since we've started our own sect, we have to be able to endure this kind of bullying."

"If you can't protect good things, you'll only bring trouble upon yourself. It's better to give them to us so that we can help more people."

Chapter 196 Human Bomber Tank

This burly man, Cao Fei, should not have reached the Flowing Cloud Realm yet, which is the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

It's probably because it's more difficult for body cultivators to break through to higher realms. But to be able to rise to the position of elder, one must be no ordinary person.

Since it was a duel, Feng Hua couldn't be brought along. So Qin Rufeng went up to the training ground alone, and the two exchanged greetings before the fight officially began.

So-called body cultivation, at least below the Crystal Cloud Realm, is merely about tempering the body. It means being unable to unleash energy blasts or generate powerful palm strikes.

If one could do all of this without using hand seals, incantations, or the incredibly complex circulation of spiritual energy through the meridians... then everyone in the world would be a physical cultivator.

If striking with a palm can injure someone, then why doesn't the palm that generates the palm strike directly hit the person?

Actually, the so-called qi blasts and palm strikes aren't entirely useless, but they're ineffective. They might kill an ordinary person, but for a cultivator, they're just a joke.

So Elder Cao didn't even bother to "read his face." After bowing, he rushed towards Qin Rufeng like a hungry tiger before even putting his hands down.

He stretched out his thick, iron arm, his five fingers spread like a bear's paw. He reached forward with one hand, seemingly intending to use a grappling technique. He wanted a quick and decisive victory.

Although Qin Rufeng defeated Yuan Mengli, in the eyes of the various sects in Cangyun City, she was still just a spendthrift woman from a fairy house who needed to be waited on in her daily life.

Her only admirable quality is her exceptional musical skills, and perhaps she also knows some sword formation magic. But overall, she gives off a very delicate and fragile impression.

In a team battle, with protection, her sword formation and musical performance might indeed cause considerable trouble. But in a one-on-one fight against a powerful body cultivator... everyone is wondering just how badly she'll embarrass herself.

Cao Fei has a history of breaking and kneading people's limbs and bones into "meatballs," so I wonder what Liu Qinxian will be kneaded into.

However, for Qin Rufeng, body cultivators were nothing new. Teng Zijian from the Mangshan Secret Realm and the Crimson Moon Horse-Face, whom she had fought multiple times, were both body cultivators. Her experience in dealing with body cultivators was quite extensive.

Seeing Cao Fei rushing towards him, Qin Rufeng first took half a step to the left and then suddenly ducked to the right.

This sudden movement was somewhat unexpected for Cao Fei; he hadn't anticipated that Qin Rufeng was much more agile than he appeared. However, a confident smile also appeared on his lips.

As a close-combat expert, how could he be easily fooled? Qin Rufeng's stealth move was fast enough, but he still anticipated it.

Cao Fei was not affected by the feint, and at this point, Qin Rufeng was too close to make any other dodging maneuvers.

"Where do you think you're going!" Cao Fei stretched out his bear paw and grabbed Qin Rufeng's shoulder.

At the critical moment, Qin Rufeng suddenly bent her knees and leaned back, her entire body as supple as if boneless, deftly dodging Cao Fei's bear paw.

Then Qin Rufeng smoothly followed up with a contortionist move, arching her body back like a cat, her head emerging from between her thighs.

Cao Fei opened his hand and pressed down again, but Qin Rufeng dodged the attack with a "python flip." His iron palm missed its target and slammed into the ground, instantly shattering the blue bricks.

Qin Rufeng then delivered a "cat kick" to Cao Fei's shoulder. Such a light kick couldn't possibly shake this mountain of flesh, but Qin Rufeng only used the force to break free from the entanglement.

Cao Fei understood that Qin Rufeng wanted to create distance, so he reached out to grab her ankle. But the biggest characteristic of the "Cat Flying Kick" is its speed of retraction.

Cao Fei missed again, and Qin Rufeng casually flicked out a talisman and stuck it on his forehead.

Cao Fei had no choice but to stop. He took a half-step to the side, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists, tensing his entire body.

Then came a deafening "BOOM!!"
