Qing’er sighed and spoke softly. “The Madam has a strange Curse Mark planted on her. Mr. Deng is helping to dissolve it.”
She sighed because the Madam’s fate was truly bitter.
She’d barely managed to finally remove the Heart-Controlling Gu. Who could have imagined there was still the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark!
Li Shishi showed an expression of understanding. “So that’s how it was!”
She had found it a bit odd earlier. Although the Madam was Senior Brother’s elder, sharing a room was still somewhat improper.
Now hearing Qing’er’s explanation, she recalled Deng Tianyu previously mentioning he was going to handle something – helping an elder resolve some trouble.
Having let go of her guard, Li Shishi asked again: “Then does Senior Brother have to do this every day?”
“It should be once every two days.”
“If it weren’t for this, the Madam probably wouldn’t last half a year!”
Qing’er said, stroking the little fox, who was just closing her eyes, about to fall asleep.
Beside her, Ling’er gently stroked Bai Zhi’s chubby little body and said softly, “This Curse Mark is extremely insidious and overbearing. Even the Gu of the Gu Clan fall short.”
“Thank goodness Mr. Deng has a way to slowly dissolve it. Otherwise…”
Li Shishi comforted her. “Don’t worry, with Senior Brother here, nothing will happen.”
She hadn’t expected her Senior Brother’s elder to be so plagued by misfortune.
Before, she had even treated the other party as an imaginary love rival. Looking at it now, it had just been her overthinking things.
While the three women were discussing, inside the room, candlelight flickered and swayed.
Deng Tianyu had merged the Spring Vitality Sword Intent and the Summer Growth Sword Intent, covering the location three inches below Aunt Rong’s Dantian, helping her refine the Baleful Yang Energy within the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark.
Having learned from his previous lesson, he did not touch the previously sealed crack but chose a different, corresponding one.
In his arms, Qu Qirong’s beautiful face was flushed pink. Her alluring, delicate crimson lips were pressed against his in a kiss. Her jade-like arms wrapped around her Tianyu’s neck, cooperating with his refinement.
Perhaps due to the surging of the Spring Vitality Sword Intent and Summer Growth Sword Intent, her long, shapely jade legs, wrapped in Ice Silkworm Black Silk, were tightly clenched. Her flawless lotus feet curled inward, her ten delicate toes, tipped with blue nail polish, pulling at the gossamer-thin, hazy silk stockings. The collar of her gauze dress had somehow become slightly open.
Her snowy white mounds of creamy flesh propped up two soft snow peaks, proudly and amply rising. They swayed and trembled due to the intensified sword intent.
After many times of cooperating, the two of them, during this process, seemed to share a tacit understanding – even without words, they could understand what the other was expressing.
As usual, the refining of the Baleful Yang Energy lasted for an hour.
The two slowly separated, both revealing a slight smile.
Deng Tianyu smiled. “At this rate, perhaps it won’t even take half a year to completely eradicate the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark.”
Although each refining session was an hour long, it also depended on efficiency.
Compared to before, the current refining efficiency was undoubtedly much higher.
“Won’t even take half a year?”
Hearing this, Qu Qirong’s expression became slightly complicated. She murmured softly.
Originally, the fact that the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark could be completely refined was indeed something to be happy about.
But to think that after the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark is removed, she wouldn’t be able to be this intimate with Tianyu… suddenly, an inexplicable reluctance welled up within her.
Noticing her unusual state, Deng Tianyu asked, “What’s wrong, Aunt Rong?”
Qu Qirong shook her head. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something, got lost in thought!”
Deng Tianyu rose from the soft couch and smiled. “Then Aunt Rong, I’ll head back first!”
Just now, due to the process of drawing and refining the Baleful Yang Energy, both Aunt Rong and he had broken out in some sweat. She would definitely want to bathe soon.
There are boundaries between men and women. How could it be appropriate for him to stay?
“Wait!”
Just as Deng Tianyu was putting on his shoes, Qu Qirong bit her pearl-like teeth against her crimson lips, as if having made some sort of decision. She called out to stop him.
Deng Tianyu looked puzzled. “Aunt Rong?”
Meeting his gaze, Qu Qirong took a deep breath. Her crimson lips parted slightly. “Tianyu, Aunt Rong wants to cultivate the ‘Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art’!”
The moment she finished speaking, she felt her cheeks and earlobes burn. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
She didn’t know why she couldn’t make up her mind before, but now she could.
Maybe it was because of this trip to Purple Cloud Sect. Maybe it was because of what her Tianyu said just now.
Hearing this, Deng Tianyu froze in place.
He knew full well what cultivating the ‘Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art’ meant.
According to the notes above, to cultivate this Dual Cultivation method, one must be a Dao Companion pair.
Based on Deng Tianyu’s understanding, Dual Cultivation methods were divided into two types.
One was vegetarian. The other was carnal.
The former meant doing nothing. The latter meant doing everything.
And judging by the annotations in this ‘Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art,’ it was very likely the latter.
Of course, for Deng Tianyu, whose main cultivation was the Path of Filial Piety, it was impossible to refuse an elder’s request.
As his thoughts swirled, Deng Tianyu sat back down and spoke to break the silence: “Aunt Rong, could you let me see that Jade Slip?”
He hadn’t examined the ‘Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art’ in detail before, having only briefly scanned the annotations.
“Mm.” Qu Qirong felt her heart racing wildly. Flustered, she took the Jade Slip from her Storage Ring.
Deng Tianyu took it and immersed his mind within.
After a moment, he furrowed his brow.
According to the first volume of the ‘Extreme Yin Spirit Fusion Art,’ to begin cultivating this art, one must first prepare a special spiritual liquid for a medicinal bath.
During this process, the two need to remove their clothes together and soak in the medicinal bath. They must circulate their energy according to the art’s operational method to cultivate the two types of Spiritual Energy: Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang.
As for how long this would last, it depended on the comprehension and innate talent of both individuals.
However, Deng Tianyu couldn’t access the later content.
Because it required him and Aunt Rong to first cultivate the two types of Spiritual Energy and simultaneously inject them into the Jade Slip to unlock the next volume.
“It’s really complex!”
Deng Tianyu couldn’t help but exclaim. Then he relayed the contents of the first volume to Aunt Rong.
“Aunt Rong, we need to first prepare the spiritual items for the medicinal bath.”
“Heavenly Yang Fruit, Blue Spirit Flower, Purple Yin Vine, Green Burning Saliva…”
“Only after extracting the impurities from these spiritual items can they be refined into spiritual liquid.”
Matters involving refining and extraction fell squarely into the domain of alchemists. He had absolutely no skill in it.
But just then, Qu Qirong bit her teeth tightly, suppressing the shyness in her heart. She spoke softly: “Regarding the medicinal bath, Tianyu needn’t worry… it has already been prepared.”
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum, carrying a tremor and a soft, tender lilt that involuntarily stirred the imagination.
Already prepared?
Deng Tianyu was stunned.
Then he understood.
The contents of the first volume, Aunt Rong must have read them before, and had prepared the relevant spiritual items accordingly, even having already refined this special spiritual liquid.
Deng Tianyu didn’t say much more. He simply smiled gently. “In that case, let’s begin, Aunt Rong!”
For this kind of matter, he needed to be the one to speak first, after all, Aunt Rong was a woman.
“Mm.” Qu Qirong responded, not daring to look at him at all. Swaying her alluring, voluptuous figure, she slowly entered the bathroom.
Strangely enough, for some reason, there were actually two bathtubs inside.
She unhurriedly poured warm water and sprinkled some flower petals for bathing into the first tub.
Plop…
Before long, Qu Qirong added the right amount of warm water to the second tub. Then, from her Storage Ring, she took out a bottle of pale-cyan spirit liquid and uncorked it. She poured all the pale-cyan liquid into the tub.
In less than half a breath, the water’s color turned pale cyan. Extremely dense Spiritual Energy permeated the air, and a unique, refreshing fragrance wafted out.
This scent was like the medicinal aroma of spiritual items. Breathing it in seemed to soothe a restless heart.
