519: Very Effective Results
Yun Qingyue noticed that after Jiang Mo had been lost in thought for a while, her gaze toward her beca more ardent. The mont their eyes t, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable, not only averting her gaze but also feeling her ears grow slightly warm.
Fortunately, Jiang Mo's unusual behavior lasted only a mont before she quickly reined it in.
Jiang Mo seed to realize that her gaze had been too intense earlier. She withdrew her gaze and lightly coughed, barely alleviating the awkwardness, then carefully asked: "Let's set aside how you achieved your breakthrough, but since you've already broken through, Ah Yue, do you still want to go out to eliminate demons today? Or would you rather stay at ho and consolidate your cultivation?"
She said the words "at ho" so naturally, as if this small courtyard had truly beco their ho.
Seeing Jiang Mo so considerate of her, Yun Qingyue's expression grew increasingly soft—Jiang Mo said there was no harm to her, which was probably true. But human hearts are quite intricate; even the closest Dao companions cannot truly be indistinguishable from one another. If soone else encountered this situation, even if they didn't voice it, they would likely harbor so resentnt in their hearts.
But not Jiang Mo. From beginning to end, her eyes had never shown envy or jealousy; she was purely considering what was best for her. Perhaps, perhaps she even wanted these benefits to co to her more often?
Yun Qingyue's expression softened, and her heart lted, even wanting to take the little tiger into her arms and kiss her. However, regarding Jiang Mo's suggestion, after so consideration, she declined: "It's different now than before. Currently, there's no ti for to seclude myself to consolidate my cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo knew that her Senior Sister still hadn't planned to change her intentions to go out, but she was sowhat concerned: "But your realm..."
Yun Qingyue frowned and waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. It's still early; we can go to Mount Zhiming first."
……
At first, Jiang Mo didn't know why her Senior Sister wanted to co to Mount Zhiming. Even if it was to accompany her to gain points, they had already gotten up late today, and if they delayed further at Mount Zhiming, her Senior Sister's plans to go out would have to be canceled directly.
However, Yun Qingyue's intention was not so—she had co to ask Divine Lord Zhiming to help her stabilize her realm.
Indeed, in the cultivation world, there is more than one thod to stabilize a realm. Although generally one would seclude oneself for ditation and comprehension, in extre cases, one could also seek the help of elders—either through pressure from their aura or by directly being beaten, forcing the newly breakthrough cultivator to rapidly adapt to the new realm under extre pressure.
The latter thod was clearly much faster than the forr, with significantly higher efficiency. But generally, no one was willing to choose the latter, because cultivators have plenty of ti, and the latter thod obviously involves suffering.
Yun Qingyue wasn't afraid, as this wasn't the first ti she had used this thod to stabilize her cultivation, and she could endure the suffering.
It was Jiang Mo who was heartbroken. She could accept being beaten black and blue by Divine Lord Zhiming herself, but when she saw her Senior Sister being pressured by Divine Lord Zhiming's aura, looking so miserable, she truly wished she could take her place.
But clearly, this wasn't possible. The little tiger could only pace anxiously, unable to help in the slightest.
Finally, after who knows how long—perhaps a few breaths, perhaps a few quarters or hours—Divine Lord Zhiming's tempering of Yun Qingyue finally ended. He withdrew his terrifying suppressive aura, and in the next second saw a flash before him—Jiang Mo, who had been circling anxiously for who knows how many tis, rushed forward and caught the person who was about to fall.
Seeing this, Divine Lord Zhiming shook his head and said: "Don't panic, she's fine, just let her..." Before the words "regulate her breath for a bit" could leave his mouth, his tone suddenly changed: "Hey, tiger cub, don't cry!"
Jiang Mo had rushed forward in ti, just managing to catch the falling Yun Qingyue in her arms. But only upon embracing her did she realize that Yun Qingyue's robes were already soaked with sweat, looking as if she had just been pulled from water. Although she had seen her Senior Sister in miserable states many tis before, seeing her in this condition still made her heart ache, and when her heart ached, her eyes filled with tears.
Hearing Divine Lord Zhiming's words, Jiang Mo, still holding a grudge, glared at him with tear-filled eyes.
Divine Lord Zhiming felt both irritated and amused, and gestured: "It was you who sought out for help. If I had been too gentle and couldn't help her temper her cultivation, then what would be the point of her coming here to suffer?"
Jiang Mo knew he was right, but she couldn't help feeling distressed. She said nothing as she looked away, but her arms tightened around her Senior Sister. Then, while transferring spiritual energy to her Senior Sister, she softly asked: "Ah Yue, how do you feel? Are you better?"
Jiang Mo's spiritual energy entered Yun Qingyue's body without hindrance, rging into her ridians and replenishing her depleted spiritual energy. Soon, Yun Qingyue's condition improved visibly—first her weakened body regained strength, then her pale complexion gradually regained color. She found the strength to sit cross-legged, and before beginning cultivation, she reassured: "I'm fine, I'll be better soon."
After saying this, Yun Qingyue closed her eyes and began absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish her own depletion. It wouldn't take long for her to recover to her peak... no, to advance even further!
Jiang Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Divine Lord Zhiming, who had witnessed everything, found it quite interesting.
How fascinating—White Tigers had always been domineering, and their tal spiritual energy had always been sharp. He had never heard of a White Tiger transferring spiritual energy to heal another, and even between two White Tigers, their spiritual energy wouldn't be compatible.

Yun Qingyue recovered quickly. Rather than being injured, it would be more accurate to say she had overexerted and depleted her spiritual energy. Therefore, once she had cultivated and absorbed spiritual energy to replenish her consumption, she quickly regained her usual composure.
When she opened her eyes, she felt quite good. Besides the vigor brought by her realm advancent, the dishevelnt of her appearance had also been tidied up. It didn't take much thought to know the little tiger had done this. Although it might have just been a matter of a few cleaning spells, being carefully tended to was always pleasant. Thus, when she opened her eyes and saw Jiang Mo, she gave her a generous smile.
Jiang Mo was dazzled by her smile and smiled back, then reached out her hand: "Ah Yue, have you recovered well? It's still not late; we should be able to catch Sect Leader Qingxiao opening the formation. Shall we go?"
Yun Qingyue naturally placed her hand in Jiang Mo's. Jiang Mo, who had been crouching before her, stood up and pulled her up in one smooth motion. The force might have been slightly too strong, as Yun Qingyue was pulled directly into the little tiger's embrace.
Jiang Mo instinctively wrapped her arm around her Senior Sister's waist, but Yun Qingyue clearly hadn't forgotten where they were—except on Purple Cloud Peak, except in their own ho, Senior Sister Yun was quite reserved. She instinctively struggled slightly, her gaze scanning the surroundings, finally realizing that Divine Lord Zhiming wasn't in the hall and that currently only the two of them were in Zhiming Hall, which allowed her to relax a bit.
Nevertheless, Yun Qingyue still freed herself, only holding Jiang Mo's hand briefly for reassurance before asking: "Where is the Divine Lord?"
Jiang Mo regretfully lowered her hand and answered: "Divine Lord went back to sleep."
Indeed, Divine Lord Zhiming's daily recreation was sleeping. Even with the changing situation and his concern for the Xuanqing Sect preventing him from truly slumbering, he could still "rest" briefly whenever possible—besides, what else would he do? Stay in Zhiming Hall watching the little tiger longingly guard her wife? Or watch them display affection in front of him?
Bah, he was Black Tortoise, a noble divine beast, and would never eat such ssy nonsense!
Yun Qingyue didn't know all this, but upon hearing that Divine Lord Zhiming had gone back to sleep, she was sowhat surprised and instinctively asked: "Then what about your challenge today..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but examine Jiang Mo carefully.
Having previously witnessed Jiang Mo challenging Divine Lord Zhiming, Yun Qingyue still rembered vividly how miserably Jiang Mo had been beaten, no less than herself just now. However, Divine Lord Zhiming was also quite a generous elder; after beating Jiang Mo each ti, he would give her good dicines to heal, so it wasn't easy to tell if she had been beaten today.
Jiang Mo clearly knew what Yun Qingyue was looking for and couldn't help explaining: "Divine Lord didn't beat today, he just went through the motions."
She had already received today's reward, though she herself didn't know why he had suddenly shown rcy, especially when he had beaten her in front of her Senior Sister last ti.
Hearing this, Yun Qingyue didn't delve deeper; it was good that Jiang Mo avoided a beating: "Then let's go, let's find the Sect Leader."
Jiang Mo responded with a "good." Since Divine Lord Zhiming had already gone back to sleep, the two didn't say goodbye and hurriedly left Mount Zhiming, heading toward their next destination.
The two had already gone through quite a lot this morning, and they arrived at their agreed-upon location a bit late. The Sect Leader had already sent out the gathered disciples. Seeing the two arriving tardily, his brow furrowed slightly; after all, opening a gap in the formation to let people in and out wasn't so easy. But before he could speak, his gaze suddenly fixed on Yun Qingyue: "Qingyue has broken through?!"
Before Yun Qingyue could answer, Jiang Mo replied joyfully for her: "Yes, Ah Yue has broken through to the late Fusion stage. The reason we're late is that we just went to ask Divine Lord Zhiming to help stabilize her realm."
Hearing this, the Sect Leader was quite delighted: "It seems that going out to eliminate demons and train is indeed very effective."
The two paused upon hearing this, both remaining silent. Let's just say it was so.
