Chapter 409: Closed-Door Cultivation

Xiao Ming opened his eyes and raised his palm, retracting the White Glazed Heart Flame into his body. He then turned around, giving Qing Yi Nan some privacy as she dressed herself.

Instead, he turned to face Xiao Yi Xian, who had appeared at some point to his side. Her aura had risen slightly, but because she hadn't begun refining the cold poison, the increase was subtle.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

When Xiao Ming looked at her, she gave him a reassuring look.

Soon, a rustling sound came from behind.

"You can turn around now."

Qing Yi Nan squinted her eyes and gently stretched her body, showcasing her voluptuous figure to the fullest extent. She felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

In the past, her body had always been ice-cold, but now there was a warm current flowing throughout her body, bringing extreme comfort.

"Senior Qing Yi Nan, how do you feel?" Xiao Ming asked.

Qing Yi Nan finally looked at Xiao Ming, her eyes filled with genuine admiration. She was astounded by Xiao Ming's calmness, which he maintained even when facing her fully exposed self.

She knew how attractive her body was to men, and in the path of cultivation, she was not ignorant. She understood that controlling a Heavenly Flame within someone else's body was a delicate task. If Xiao Ming hadn't been highly focused during the detoxification process, it could have easily failed.

With such composure, it was no wonder he had achieved such a high level of alchemy and cultivation at a young age.

For the first time, Qing Yi Nan felt genuine admiration for a young person. Even the embarrassment of being exposed diminished slightly, and she smiled lightly, saying, "The cold poison has been completely expelled, and I feel better than ever."

Hearing this, Qing Yi Ya, who had been standing by, couldn't restrain herself any longer. She stepped forward and reached out to check her sister's condition.

She discovered that the cold poison had indeed been removed, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

"That's great! The cold poison from the Ice Dragon Scorpion has truly been completely eliminated."

Looking at the sisters in front of him, like a pair of mirrored images, Xiao Ming chuckled softly.

"That's good. We shouldn't delay any further. Let's start resolving Senior Qing Yi Ya's cold poison now."

"Hmm, don't you need to rest? Dealing with the previous situation must have been mentally exhausting," Qing Yi Ya asked.

"It's fine. I can handle it." Xiao Ming wanted to finish as soon as possible to let Xiao Yi Xian focus on her closed-door cultivation.

"Alright then."

Qing Yi Ya didn't hesitate any longer, knowing that the cold poison could be completely eliminated. After all, she wasn't a young girl. She had been through a lot on her path to Half-Saint and wouldn't play coy like a typical young girl.

Having two Half-Saints was quite a good force at present.

"Hehe, I'll remember that. Kindness should be returned with kindness. If the two Seniors require high-tier medicinal pills in the future, you can find me in the Pill Tower. Farewell..."

After speaking, Xiao Ming took a step forward and walked briskly towards the main hall with Xiao Yi Xian.

The two sisters stood together, gazing at Xiao Ming's departing figure, their eyes filled with a sense of strangeness.

"This little guy knows how to handle things..."

...

Outside the main hall, numerous elders of the Sound Valley rushed forward and surrounded Xiao Ming and the others.

Upon learning that Xiao Ming had resolved the cold poison of their Ancestors, a burst of cheers erupted.

During this time, Xiao Ming did not see Qing Lin and Venerable Tian Huo. He asked and learned that they had gone to cultivate. Xiao Ming nodded appreciatively; it was a good thing to make good use of their time.

Previously, he had given them some Dou Saint Bone Marrow, so their strength should have improved.

...

Creak!

As a creaking sound echoed, Qing Yi's voice followed suit.

"Master Xiao Ming, Miss Xiao Yi Xian, this place is called 'Bamboo Pavilion', one of the finest residences in our Sound Valley. You may stay here for now and feel free to give instructions to the disciples for anything you need."

Xiao Ming stepped into the elegant and beautifully landscaped pavilion, taking in his surroundings and feeling quite satisfied.

The architectural aesthetics of Sound Valley aligned well with his taste.

"Very well. Valley Master Qing Yi, you may attend to your duties. If there is anything significant, I will notify the disciples."

"I won't disturb you then." Qing Yi smiled warmly, she understood that Xiao Yi Xian needed seclusion, so she didn't say much and gracefully took her leave.

As Qing Yi departed, Xiao Ming turned to Xiao Yi Xian. "Xian'er, find a room to seclude yourself for cultivation. Make sure to thoroughly absorb the cold poison before emerging. Staying without refining the poison for too long might have adverse effects on your body. After all, it's a poison that can even affect Half-Saints."

"Mhmm, I understand," Xiao Yi Xian replied, her voice gentle. But then she added with a playful smile, "But I might need a kiss before I go~"

"You little spoiled girl..." Xiao Ming chuckled, seeing that his partner still dared to be mischievous. He drew her in close, wrapping his arm around her waist, and tenderly locked his lips with hers...
