"Sir, did soone just co in?"
"Susu, concentrate, Taoist Friend Si’s condition isn’t good."
"This fox spirit, perhaps not even an immortal can save her this ti, alas."
"Don’t talk anymore, let’s try again."
...
The next day.
Cui Room.
In the room, steam rises, clouds roll and colors glow, like a fairyland.
In the misty steam, a large bathtub is placed in the center of the room.
In the tub are a man and three won, all unclothed.
The man is not handso, but he is steadfast and composed, with a hidden aura of killing intent that combines with his refined appearance, giving him a peculiar charm.
To the man’s left is a young girl, about eighteen, with delicate brows and eyes, as pure as a painting.
On the right is a voluptuous, charming woman, but at this mont her face is extrely pale, looking seriously wounded.
Opposite the man is a lively and charming woman, with a light blue pupil suspended above her head, looking sowhat eerie.
The water surface in the tub just covers half of the three won’s chests, with three mountains rising from the water in sequence from right to left, large to small, layered and towering.
Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, but was indifferent to the beautiful scenery before him, with worry on his face.
Opposite him, Liu Su also opened her eyes, clicked her tongue:
"Sir, what exactly has this fox spirit done? Why are half of her ridians fractured?"
Qin Gengyun furrowed his brows: "Taoist Friend Si and Xiaoxue were both fed toxins by the Chang Family to suppress their cultivation and had so spiritual energy and primordial yin absorbed by the Earth Mole, but Xiaoxue has mostly recovered, and yet Taoist Friend Si’s injuries haven’t improved, why?"
Liu Su shrugged, and the small mound floating on the water trembled, but she was unconcerned, nonchalantly turning to Fang Xue:
"Xiaoxue, stop pretending to sleep, what’s wrong with your senior sister?"
Fang Xue blushed, finally opened her eyes, glanced at Qin Gengyun beside her, and subrged her whole body into the water, leaving only a small head visible, then said:
"Third Senior Sister was forced into dual cultivation on Xiyue Peak by Senior Brother Zheng, she forcibly broke through Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core, paused for a mont at Nascent Soul, allowing us to escape."
Liu Su widened her eyes: "Wow, what does your Senior Brother Zheng look like? How far did the fox spirit get with him?"
Fang Xue hurriedly said: "Third Senior Sister remained pure and would never submit to a villain. Susu, please don’t say that."
"Remain pure?" Liu Su pouted, thinking only soone as simple as you could describe this fox spirit like that.
Qin Gengyun exclaid: "Taoist Friend Si can forcibly raise her realm to Nascent Soul? How did she manage that?"
Fang Xue tilted her head, thought for a mont, then said: "I rember in Zhenyang Sect there is a technique that can burn one’s original essence to forcibly enhance cultivation for a short period, but it requires extrely high talent, it’s said only the founder Zhenyang ever mastered it."
"That matches!"
Liu Su clapped her hands, and the small mound jumped out from the water.
"The fox spirit has good talent, naturally she could master it, but this technique is too domineering, so half of her ridians shattered."
Qin Gengyun pressed his palm against Si Minglan’s lower abdon, his face slightly darkened:
"Not just half."
Liu Su was taken aback, closed her eyes and used the Mist Spirit Eye, opened them monts later with a serious expression:
"Her spiritual energy is continuously depleting, and ridians are slowly wilting, at this rate, she might not... live more than half a year."
"What?!" Fang Xue was startled, her eyes instantly red.
"How could it be? Uncle Qin, Susu, last ti Third Senior Sister was so heavily injured, didn’t you save her too? Why not this ti?"
"What do you need to do, no matter what, I’m willing!"
Qin Gengyun gently said: "Xiaoxue, the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique is indeed miraculous, but it can only save those who can be healed, Taoist Friend Si’s ridians are broken, original essence lost, no healing holy technique can save her now."
Liu Su also put away her playful deanor, spoke sowhat heavily:
"Though this fox spirit is wicked, without her, there’ll be less fun, truly unfortunate... her vendetta may never be avenged."
Fang Xue’s tears flowed, looking at Si Minglan: "Third Senior Sister..."
Suddenly, the door opened, a petite figure walked in.
"Miss, why did you co in?"
Liu Su got up and waved, not noticing her small mound was almost touching Qin Gengyun’s nose.
"Sister Qiu?"
Fang Xue blushed further, nervously subrging herself a bit more, her whole face nearly sunk into the water.
"My wife."
Qin Gengyun smiled at Qiu Zhihe, but she ignored him, coldly glanced at Liu Su.
Liu Su stuck her tongue out, hurriedly sat down and subrged her mound underwater.
Only then did Qiu Zhihe calmly look at Si Minglan: "There are two ways to save her."
Fang Xue was overjoyed, quickly said: "Sister Qiu, what ways?"
Qin Gengyun also asked: "My wife, Taoist Friend Si has helped us before, if there’s a way to save her, we will certainly do our best!"
Qiu Zhihe gave him a glance, coolly said: "She forcibly broke through her realm, damaging her essence, cannot self-recover, but can rely on external force... irrigate the spirit field, nourish the essence, or there might be a chance for rebirth."
"My wife, how can we irrigate the spirit field, nourish the essence?" Qin Gengyun asked.
Qiu Zhihe lowered her eyelids, voice clear and cold: "Dual cultivation."
"..."
The room fell into silence.
Liu Su and Fang Xue simultaneously looked at Qin Gengyun, Liu Su even stood up:
"Sir, should we leave first, leave the bed to you and the fox spirit? Ouch!"
Before finishing her sentence, Qiu Zhihe waved her hand and pushed Liu Su back into the water, her cold voice continued:
"The second way, abolish the Zhenyang Sect techniques, cultivate Demon Sect techniques, might reconstruct the essence, but entering the Demon Dao, who she will beco is uncertain."
"Enter the Demon Dao?" Fang Xue’s eyes widened, instinctively thinking this might be a good idea.
Because she herself learned from Demon Sect people, mastering the ’Tanglian Technique’, she also counts as having entered the Demon Dao.
But Third Senior Sister is different, she only learned ’Supre As-Heart Sword’, a superficial Outer Sect technique, with shallow foundations in Righteous Path, cultivating Demon Sect techniques poses no conflict.
Yet Third Senior Sister practiced the Inner Sect Techniques of Zhenyang Sect, with deep foundations in Righteous Path, abolishing righteousness to enter demonhood seems against heaven.
"Right."
Fang Xue opened her mouth, wanting to say she knows the ’Tanglian Technique’, could teach Third Senior Sister.
Qiu Zhihe already spoke: "Among the Three Great Demon Sects, Cyan Lotus Sect’s techniques are the most deadly, but do not rebuild the essence, Red Cloud Mountain specializes in puppets and poison, only Celestial Fall Sect’s techniques are wicked, most suitable for abolishing righteousness to enter demonhood."
"Celestial Fall Sect techniques?" Fang Xue stiffened, voice trembling:
"Like those evil techniques practiced by the Chang Family Patriarch?"
Liu Su was taken aback, glanced at Si Minglan, said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Miss, you an... this fox spirit can only survive as a monster like the Earth Mole?"
