Chapter 118: Senior Sister Helps You with Cultivation_2
This was simply inconceivable.
"Junior Brother... take a rest..." Hua Yourong took a deep breath and spoke.
Wen Zhixing's eyes were tightly closed, his mind completely submerged in his own world.
I'm about to make a breakthrough! Wen Zhixing's heart swelled with joy. Unconsciously, his Nine-turns Sun Sutra had reached the brink of a breakthrough.
Previously, it had taken him a whole week. But this time, the speed had increased by an unknown factor.
Could it be because of Si Nanyan's Extreme Yin Body? Wen Zhixing mused. Si Nanyan's constitution is the polar opposite of mine; it really can accelerate my cultivation speed. Of course, other things besides the Extreme Yin Body could probably speed up the cultivation of the cultivation skill too, just not as efficiently.
You've used essence absorption on me so many times before; this time, I'll make you spit it all back out, Wen Zhixing thought with a cold smirk. He had actually heard Hua Yourong's voice but was just pretending not to.
Seeing this, Hua Yourong gritted her teeth. He must have entered some kind of state, she assumed. Thankfully, I have a way to wake him up.
Her slender white hands flipped, and another devil seed appeared.
The next moment, the devil seed already in Wen Zhixing's Sea of Sense instantly reacted. It began to stir violently.
Startled, Wen Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes. What's going on?
"Junior Brother Wang, you're not being very obedient, are you? So naughty," Hua Yourong said, her face flushing red as she chided him coquettishly now that he had stopped.
"This is..." Wen Zhixing looked down at Hua Yourong's palm.
This new devil seed was completely black, unlike the previous ones. The most eerie part was that it throbbed nonstop, like a tiny heart.
This is... Wen Zhixing's own heart suddenly pounded.
At that moment, the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed in his mind seemed to sense it. Frightening thunder began to be released. This thing is clearly not an ordinary devil seed, he thought.
"Your Senior Sister specially refined this for you. It took quite an effort, you know..." Hua Yourong said with a sly smile.
Her trip to the Devil Cave this time was not only to rescue those devil generals but also to refine this devil seed. The devil seed harbored a great amount of the Devil Clan's Origin Qi. For this, she had even drawn the origin power from those devil generals.
Once this devil seed was planted within an ordinary cultivator, they would basically have no chance of turning the tables. If it were to germinate, their original consciousness would be completely replaced and disappear. Hua Yourong only cared about Wen Zhixing's body. Whose will inhabited it didn't concern her in the slightest; as long as it was under her control, that was all that mattered.
Interesting, Wen Zhixing thought. He wasn't afraid at all; in fact, he was secretly delighted. The previous devil seeds have already been almost squeezed dry. Now she's sent another one, just in time to strengthen my Sea of Sense. I have to say, I really misunderstood Si Nanyan before. Isn't she just the epitome of benevolence?
The next moment, that devil seed charged directly into Wen Zhixing's Sea of Sense.
In an instant, his Sea of Sense was engulfed in a storm. The devil seed, like a devil god, reigned supreme, strutting about Wen Zhixing's Sea of Sense. It devoured a great amount of black fog to strengthen itself. The Nine Heavens Thunder Seed, in contrast, seemed to dim, remaining motionless.
Within the Sea of Sense, the previous devil seeds grew even more emboldened. An illusory devil shadow materialized.
"Hahaha, see that? My big bro is here!" it cackled. "Damn it, just you wait and die, all of you!"
Perhaps sensing a kindred presence, this new devil seed dove straight into the depths of the Sea of Sense, heading directly for the location of the other devil seeds.
In that instant, the Sea of Sense turned pitch black—a boundless darkness that seemed to devour even the surrounding light.
The existing devil seeds trembled with excitement. Big bro is here!
However, before they could revel in their joy, a powerful suction emanated from the new devil seed, which began to drain the origin power from the other devil seeds. The smaller devil seeds were shocked but unable to resist as they were thoroughly absorbed.
Completely satisfied, the new devil seed took root in the Sea of Sense. As the Sea of Sense turned pitch black, it also began to slowly expand once more.
Wen Zhixing witnessed all of this without any resistance. No need to rush, he thought. This time, I'll fleece this devil seed slowly.
Of course, while he offered no resistance in his mind, his physical movements became even faster.
"Hmm?" Hua Yourong gasped in surprise, somewhat incredulous. How is he still moving?
She glanced at Wen Zhixing. Seeing his eyes had turned pitch black and he seemed completely devoid of consciousness, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Terrifying... Is this just instinct...? she thought, biting her lower lip, barely able to withstand the onslaught.
...
「Meanwhile, not far from Wen Zhixing's house.」
Two slender figures appeared once again. It was none other than Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu.
"Qingdai, Junior Brother Wang hasn't finished his closed-door cultivation yet. We shouldn't disturb him," Bai Luqiu said, pulling on Liu Qingdai, who was striding forward determinedly.
Grabbed by the nape of her neck as if by fate, Liu Qingdai had no choice but to stop. She pouted, "That won't do, Senior Sister. We're leaving on an expedition tomorrow. If we don't call Wang Shouzhen now, it'll be too late."
Both of them actually knew Wen Zhixing's true identity. But to avoid any accidents, they still called him by the false name Wang Shouzhen.
"Qingdai, Junior Brother Wang is still in closed-door cultivation. Aren't you afraid Master will punish you if you disturb him now?" Bai Luqiu stood her ground, looking towards the distant house, an inexplicable nervousness fluttering within her. She hadn't set foot in this place since that day.
"Don't worry, my father already agreed to it this time," Liu Qingdai said, raising her head and patting her ample chest with a proud, coquettish expression.
Bai Luqiu pondered for a moment, wanting to say more, but Liu Qingdai just pulled her along. "It's fine, it's fine."
Soon, the two of them quickly arrived at the door of Wen Zhixing's room.
At this moment, the door was tightly closed. Inside the house, however, a flickering candlelight could be seen leaking out from a gap.
CREAK.
It was as if the entire house had just groaned.
"The light is on! He's finished his closed-door cultivation!" Liu Qingdai exclaimed, immediately delighted. She had come looking for Wen Zhixing several times over the past few days. But even at night, there had been no light inside the house, indicating that his closed-door cultivation hadn't ended.
Seeing the light, Bai Luqiu couldn't help but reach up to tidy the stray hairs on her forehead and adjust her skirt, wanting to look more presentable. For some reason, her heart began to pound.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Liu Qingdai stepped forward quickly, forcefully banging on the door. "Junior Brother Wang! Junior Brother Wang! Open up!"
Inside the house, all fell silent. Then, a rapid rustling sound was heard.
"Wait a moment… hmm..." a somewhat low voice came through.
Liu Qingdai: "?"
Bai Luqiu: "?"
Wen Zhixing's voice sounded strange, causing both of them to frown slightly.
The next moment, Bai Luqiu's cheeks instantly turned crimson. Wen Zhixing… he… she thought. But then again, I've heard that boys all have their 'ancestral craft.' It seems we've come at an inconvenient time.
Liu Qingdai looked puzzled. "Senior Sister, what's going on?" she asked, her eyes blank.
"Ahem, nothing," Bai Luqiu said, turning her head away, unwilling to say more. She didn't know how to explain it anyway.
"Then why are you blushing...?" Liu Qingdai muttered to herself.
CREAK.
A moment later, the door slowly opened.
"Wang Shouzhen..." Liu Qingdai began with a smile, only to see that the person who opened the door was not Wen Zhixing.
"Senior Sister Luqiu, Junior Sister Qingdai, good evening," Hua Yourong said with a weary smile, though her eyes were filled with a sense of deep satisfaction.
Liu Qingdai: "?"
Bai Luqiu: "?"
