Chapter 67: Dual Cultivation? p2
Ever since Jiang Bai had chosen that kind of cultivation method to cultivate with Ji Zhu, Ji Zhu really had no concept of day and night.
As a cat who loved to sleep in, Ji Zhu had not slept for a long time.
During the day, she would be thrown into a pile of yin souls by the enchantress to train. When her spiritual energy was exhausted, she would be taken back to cultivate. When her spiritual energy was recovered, she would repeat the previous matter again.
Ji Zhu was numb. She felt that she had now become a ruthless sword-wielding robot, or an arsonist.
“Try to find the feeling of that fire sea move you used before,” Jiang Bai couldn’t help but remind her.
She already had a faint taste of a domain. No matter what, she could not abandon it.
“Oh,” Ji Zhu was very obedient to the enchantress’s words. In the next battle with the yin souls, she would also consciously look for the kind of control she had in the fire sea before. As she looked for it more and more, that feeling also seemed to be returning bit by bit, and Ji Zhu gradually touched upon some of the tricks.
Seeing Ji Zhu’s progress, Jiang Bai’s eyes and brows relaxed a lot, and a curve appeared on her lips.
As for the power of a domain, she had only comprehended a vague trick after she had broken through to the Soul Transformation stage. But Ji Zhu had already done this at just the Golden Core stage, which showed that her aptitude was actually not bad.
It was said that the Medicine King Valley was best at alchemy and not very good at fighting. But now, Jiang Bai felt that with Ji Zhu, this impression might be slightly changed.
After half a year of this day and night, Ji Zhu was no longer the person who would look at Jiang Bai with a wronged and resentful expression after doing the horse stance for a while.
Now, she was terrifyingly strong!
Ji Zhu’s palm was clenched, and the yin soul in her absolute domain directly exploded and died, leaving only the gray crystal to prove the yin soul’s previous existence.
In these six months, Ji Zhu’s progress could be said to be rapid. Not only had she broken through to the late Golden Core stage, but even the domain she had unintentionally comprehended before, she had now mastered more than half of it.
Ji Zhu held the crystals and went to the enchantress to show them off, and said happily, “Look, there are nine this time!”
“Nine, nine!”
Jiang Bai looked at the crystals in her two hands. Although she didn’t understand why she had to emphasize a “nine, nine” at the end, she still acknowledged, “Not bad. You’ve made progress.”
Previously, in her fire sea domain, she could only deal with three yin souls at a time. However, with the improvement of her strength and the deepening of her understanding of the domain, it had now increased to 9.
Hearing the enchantress affirm and praise her, Ji Zhu’s eyes curved in a smile, and she handed the crystals to her. “Here!”
All the crystals she had obtained would be handed over to the enchantress!
Jiang Bai also accepted them without any refusal. Anyway, after she had accepted them, the energy in these crystals would basically be used on Ji Zhu.
Although the energy in the crystals was pure, it was pure yin power. Ji Zhu could not directly absorb it. Otherwise, if the yin power attached to her, she would have to spend a lot of time to clear it in the future. But if it was absorbed by Jiang Bai, there would be no such concern.
But not long after she had just accepted the crystals, Jiang Bai suddenly frowned, and she looked around with some confusion.
Seeing her suddenly changed face, Ji Zhu’s heart tightened, and her emotions followed suit. She asked with apprehension, “What’s wrong? Is there any danger?”
Hearing this, Jiang Bai shook her head gently, but the furrowed brows still showed no sign of relaxing. She said with some hesitation, “I don’t feel any danger, but I feel an uncomfortable feeling of being watched.”
“Huh?”
Ji Zhu looked around in a daze. Was someone secretly staring at them?
But this was a graveyard. Besides the two of them, who were living people, there should be yin souls. Would there be any yin soul that would stare at them without any malicious intent?
Jiang Bai rubbed her temples. “It’s fine. Since there’s no malicious intent, let’s just treat it as if nothing has happened.”
Ji Zhu looked around and didn’t find anything unusual. She suddenly thought of something, and her expression was slightly stiff.
Being watched… a Peeping Mirror…
Could it be that Ji Ling was watching them with that Peeping Mirror?
But didn’t she say that this thing wouldn’t be discovered? It shouldn’t be discoverable, right?
Otherwise, if even the enchantress could sense it, there was no reason why Ji Wuhui would be unaware!
Ji Zhu couldn’t figure it out. She shook her head and threw this thought out. Perhaps it was just some bored ghost staring at them.

Ji Zhu had reached the late Golden Core stage in a short period of time, but the further she went, the more difficult it was to advance, especially to the Nascent Soul stage. Just relying on the current training with these yin souls of similar strength was no longer of much use.
But if she fought with those with a higher strength than her, Jiang Bai was always worried that Ji Zhu would be injured.
According to her thoughts, she wanted to take her to the main battlefield after Ji Zhu had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, before she could speak, Ji Zhu took the initiative to propose it.
“Enchantress, I don’t seem to have much improvement when I deal with these low-level yin souls now,” Ji Zhu tugged at her sleeve and said. She could feel that the speed of her spiritual energy improvement had also become much slower. Until now, she had not yet touched the threshold of the peak Golden Core stage bottleneck.
Hearing this, Jiang Bai’s gaze condensed. She looked at her in silence for a moment and then said, “You have to think clearly. If you fight with a yin soul with a higher strength than yourself, you are very likely to not be able to win and even be injured.”
If she wanted Ji Zhu to grow up, she could not interfere too much in this matter. If Ji Zhu really chose to do it, even if she was injured, as long as her life was not in danger, she could not attack.
“I’ve thought it through! I want to be stronger!” Ji Zhu nodded vigorously, her small, fair face full of a serious expression, her blue eyes staring straight at Jiang Bai.
Meeting her blue eyes, the longer she spent with Ji Zhu, the more she seemed to be able to separate her eyes from the little cat. Now, being stared at by her like this, she actually felt a little uncomfortable and looked away.
“If you’ve thought it through, then I will let you do it,” of course, the premise was that she would choose a suitable training partner, so that the strength would not be too much higher than Ji Zhu’s, and the danger would be reduced as much as possible.
“Mm-hmm! I’ve thought it through!”
The corners of Jiang Bai’s lips curled up slightly. Although this person was a little delicate, in some aspects, she did not see any trace of delicacy.
**
The days in the graveyard really felt long and yet short. And Ji Zhu, who had been in the graveyard for a year, felt that the sense of security of being with the enchantress was really so great!
In this year, although the two of them had also encountered many very dangerous dangers, after they had survived, the two of them would couldn’t help but look at each other, and in the end, Ji Zhu would chuckle foolishly.
As long as they weren’t dead, it was fine!
Jiang Bai looked at the other party’s silly smile and would often think that in this kind of environment, it was a wonder that she could still laugh.
However, it was precisely because of her appearance that Jiang Bai felt that even such a boring day would not be difficult to endure.
This person was really like a little sun in this gray world.
Although it had been a whole year since she had entered the graveyard, Ji Zhu’s realm was still at the late Golden Core stage. But now, she had already touched the threshold of the peak, and she would probably be able to break through soon.
Thinking about it this way, from her breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, it had only been a little over a year to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage. Then she was definitely a peerless genius who had stepped on the male lead!
Who else’s cultivation speed could be faster than hers?
Only the enchantress could barely fight with her!
Ji Zhu thought smugly in her heart, and rubbed against the enchantress’s side. She rested her head on her shoulder. “It’s so good to have you!”
If she had to enter this graveyard alone, even if she didn’t die, she felt that staying here for a long time would be no different from being half-dead.
Hearing this, Jiang Bai just glanced at her lightly and did not speak, nor did she shake her off her.
Now, she was already used to being leaned on by Ji Zhu.
Smelling the light and pleasant scent of peach blossoms on the enchantress, Ji Zhu pursed her lips and secretly squinted her eyes and smiled.
It smelled so good.
What a couple, bonding while killing ghosts for a year
