75 Chapter 75
◎Peerless martial arts skills are acquired without practice◎
Seeing that he was really angry, Pei Xueyan quickly changed the subject, speaking in a soft, coquettish voice: "I just like it."
If you really ask her to explain what liking someone means, she can't give any decent examples.
Jiang Qiye put his arm around her waist and held her tightly in his arms: "Go and come back soon."
Pei Xueyan gave a sweet "Mmm," and said, "I'll be a good girl."
Before long, the two couldn't help but kiss again, his waist and abdomen pressed tightly against hers, his movements becoming more and more skilled.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Qiye got up and went to take a bath in the cold spring in the mountains.
Her scent is too strong; with so many people around today, wouldn't it be impolite for them to smell it?
He changed into a black robe, abandoning his aloof and dignified demeanor as the sect leader, and solemnly escorted her down the mountain.
The disciple has already taken five thousand taels of gold and silver, as well as additional jewelry and jade items provided by Jiang Qiye, and has set off ahead of time.
According to custom, when the sect leader's wife descends the mountain, she is personally escorted by several elders of the sect.
Looking at the dignified and solemn expressions of Daoist Lingchuan and his masters, Pei Xueyan didn't even dare to show any intimacy before parting.
Saying goodbye alone is even more impossible.
She didn't even dare to exchange the slightest flirtatious glances with Jiang Qiye; how despicable!
According to the sect's rules, after descending the mountain, one must first patrol the territory within a hundred miles to see if the people are troubled by evil spirits or demons before one can fly through the air.
In such a clear and peaceful place as the Qing Sect, even if there were demons, they would have all been killed.
Therefore, after traveling fifty miles, Pei Xueyan lightly touched the ground with her toes, took off into the air, and headed in the opposite direction.
Since her rise to fame at the Immortal Sect Tournament, Pei Xueyan has been highly regarded by Master Qilin.
When she visited, her master was very polite to her.
After a few pleasantries, Pei Xueyan got down to business.
“Master, after my master passed on his cultivation to me, True Person Wangyu sent Jiang Qiye to kill me. He couldn’t bear to see us fall into the illusion together, so he cut off my heart core and melted my core, thus abolishing all my cultivation and spells. You should know that I had no cultivation at that time in Qishi Mountain. Later, I married Jiang Qiye. He felt sorry for me and transferred all his cultivation to me.”
"However, I lack the foundation of a fusion pill within my body, which has hindered my cultivation from breaking through to a higher realm. Who knew that recently my spiritual power would suddenly surge, allowing me to effortlessly acquire any of my husband's cultivation levels. Strangely, the two streams of spiritual power within me are constantly repelling each other, causing me unbearable torment day and night. Master, am I... am I also about to suffer a cultivation deviation?"
Upon hearing this, Master Qilin flicked his finger, condensed a wisp of spiritual energy, and gently probed towards her brow.
A moment later, it was abruptly withdrawn.
"Miss Pei, is your Melting Pill currently inside Sect Leader Jiang's body?"
Pei Xueyan nodded and replied, "Mm."
Last night she had secretly tested him and found that there were indeed two molten pills lying dormant in his dantian.
Pei Xueyan explained, "He severed his emotional ties and forgot everything from the past. In recent days, the cultivation of Master Wangyu and his late master have been merging and clashing within his body, making his spiritual power increasingly chaotic and disordered. He has been on the verge of going astray and probably doesn't know the reason behind it."
Master Qilin stroked his beard, nodded thoughtfully, and then a few doubts arose: "Since you are husband and wife, your auras are connected, you should have noticed it long ago, so why did this strange phenomenon suddenly occur in the last few days?"
Pei Xueyan replied somewhat embarrassedly, "It's a long story. His master has always opposed us, and there have been many twists and turns. We haven't shared a room for a long time."
Master Qilin suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile: "So that's how it is, that makes sense. This physical body doesn't have the foundation of the fusion pill, yet it has to bear the thick and complex cultivation of Sect Leader Jiang. It's like trying to fill a raging river with a thin porcelain bottle. If this continues, the physical body will eventually be unable to withstand the spiritual power and will shatter inch by inch."
Pei Xueyan's heart tightened upon hearing this; it was that serious!
“Master is absolutely right! These days, whenever I try to concentrate on cultivation, my heart aches as if it were being stabbed with a knife. At times, my head even feels like it’s splitting open, and I feel like my soul is being torn apart. But this cultivation is hard-won, and it would be a real pity to give it up. I really don’t know what to do.”
"It's alright, it's alright, it's not a pity. Sect Leader Jiang has already refined the cultivation of Master Wang Yu, Ye Xiuluo, and the molten core in your pill. As long as he can understand the core principles of your spiritual power, he will be able to fully comprehend it within ten days."
"In your opinion, Master, how should I resolve my current predicament?"
"You don't need to cultivate deliberately, nor do you need to think about turning this cultivation into your own. Since you and Jiang Qiye are already husband and wife and have shared the origin of the elixir melting, this is a preordained fate of dual cultivation."
"Dual cultivation?"
"Indeed." Master Qilin stroked his beard and slowly explained, "Ordinary dual cultivation methods require both people to have a foundation so that their spiritual energy can flow between them and nourish each other. But you two are using the fusion of the core as a catalyst and bloodline as a bridge. He has your fusion of the core inside him, and you carry his cultivation within you. You are originally one and the same, inseparable. You insist on holding onto this cultivation and forcibly refining it, which causes the two spiritual energies to repel each other, resulting in unbearable pain."
He continued, “In the future, when you are with him, spiritual energy will naturally flow through your blood and merge. As his cultivation improves, you will benefit from it; when he comprehends a new technique, you will be able to use it at will. This is your unique method of dual cultivation.”
Pei Xueyan was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses: "You mean... I don't need to go through the trouble of refining this spiritual energy anymore, and I can just let nature take its course to share cultivation with him? Then what about the pain of spiritual energy rejection in my body..."
"Just abolish it," Master Qilin said calmly.
"To abolish... to abolish the cultivation within my body?"
"Abolish it as soon as possible, or it may damage your fundamental essence."
It seems that one cannot attain immortality simply by passing on cultivation knowledge. The master destroyed it once, and the student passed it on again. The original body must have suffered countless injuries in the process!
A single word awakens one from a dream.
With her doubts finally resolved, Pei Xueyan immediately bowed respectfully to her Qilin Master: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. This disciple has finally understood!"
Master Qilin waved his hand: "You and Sect Leader Jiang are bound by an inextricable karmic entanglement. He crippled your cultivation before because your love had not been severed and your inner demons were at work; now he grants you cultivation because your love has taken root so deeply that you are completely unaware of it. The two of you are each other's tribulation, and also each other's destiny."
He solemnly advised, "But remember, this method, though wonderful, must be used in moderation. His cultivation is too domineering and powerful. If you overuse it, it may backfire on your own origin. Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency."
Pei Xueyan knelt down and kowtowed deeply to express her gratitude.
As she stood up, she took out a celadon wine pot from behind her back, held the pot, and walked a few steps to her master, a sly smile on her face: "Master, your disciple has come today with a small gift to show respect to you."
Master Qilin raised an eyebrow and looked over. Before he even got close, a clear and mellow aroma of wine wafted over him: "Oh? What kind of fine wine is this, with such a rich fragrance?"
"This is the 'Drunken Immortal Wine' that I found by chance. It was buried under the peach tree for... fifty years? No, no, it's a hundred years! Hehe."
He uncorked the flask, and a rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air, mixed with a faint scent of peach blossoms. He was too preoccupied to listen to his little female disciple's ramblings.
"Great, very good!"
After bidding farewell to her master, Pei Xueyan walked back, lost in thought the whole way.
As she walked, her eyes suddenly lit up. She suddenly had a brilliant idea: to use this method to properly test her good husband who had lost his memory!
Pei Xueyan returned to Yishui Villa.
She told her senior sister that she and Jiang Qiye were together again.
Zhou Wenjian didn't even raise his head, but waved his hand and ordered his servants to carry the several boxes of gold to the secret room and hide them properly.
"Senior sister, do you think I'm crazy?"
"Hmm." Zhou Wenjian finally straightened up and patted the gold dust off his hands. "You two have always been a bit crazy, I'm used to it."
Pei Xueyan strolled leisurely behind her and whispered, "This time it's for real, we've already done 'that'."
This time, Zhou Wenjian finally reacted. However, instead of being shocked, he was full of doubt: "Didn't Sect Leader Jiang sever his emotional ties? And even suffer a qi deviation? Would he do such a thing?"
Pei Xueyan pursed her lips, casually picked up a piece of red bean paste cake from the table and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing as she mumbled, "Don't be fooled by his appearance, he's more than just good at it... tsk tsk."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."
Zhou Wenjian was afraid that this silly junior sister would blurt out anything.
However, since they were already husband and wife, and everyone knew that, whether it happened or not, it was assumed that it had happened.
This time, however, Pei Xueyan truly experienced what it was like to be a wife, so she stayed at Yishui Villa for a long time.
Half a month has passed, and there is still no sign of him wanting to return to the Qingzong Sect.
Even though the two spiritual energies were making her feel increasingly uncomfortable, she still didn't want to go back.
Catching fish, grilling wild game, swimming in the stream, and finding pebbles hidden at the bottom.
In short, I do what I did with my senior when I was a child.
Eighteen days later, Granny Jiang prepared to "drive" her away.
She always kept her head down while cooking, making all sorts of strange and delicious pastries and noodles.
"Mother-in-law, do you have something to say?"
Grandma Jiang put down the pastries and smiled kindly: "Ayan, you were a child yesterday, and today you are a married woman."
She hummed in agreement. "Master isn't here. I wonder if he'll be angry if he sees Jiang Qiye and me cultivating together."
"Miss Ye will naturally not be angry; she has spent her whole life searching for her destined one."
Yes, Master has been waiting for Uncle Chen his whole life.
Year after year, spring comes and autumn goes, flowers bloom and wither, but that feeling has never changed.
Uncle Chen is still unmarried, yet he has always maintained a distant relationship with his master.
Now that Master Wangyu has taken her away, it is unknown when she will return.
When Master returns, will he still cling to that hope and continue waiting?
"Little Ayan, the fate between men and women is the most unreasonable, yet also the most sincere. It's never just about words; it's a bond, a red thread tied by God long ago. Cherish it."
Pei Xueyan's heart stirred at her mother-in-law's sudden, meaningful words.
"Thank you, Grandma."
When she returned, she suddenly forgot something.
We agreed to buy a beautiful wedding dress, but I completely forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, my senior sister sent a message: "Grandma said that this wedding dress was originally for Master, so you can wear it first."
However, besides fulfilling Jiang Qiye's wish to wear a wedding dress, she was even more excited about putting her terrible idea into practice.
To put on a tragic drama.
The more I think about it, the happier I get.
