Chapter 59: Cultivating Amidst Bone-breaking Pain to Become a Mortal Disciple, the Naked White-haired Beauty Surprise.

The two were now in the Serpent's Spire.

It is a towering peak within the mountain, serving as the site for advanced martial training in the sect. Here, disciples harness the raw power of the mountain's energy to enhance their cultivation.

Yang Wei was comfortably seated on the grass as he read a basic cultivation manual.

Meanwhile, Wu Fengtian held out his jian offensively.

He was paranoid about potential monster attacks.

Ignoring Wu Fengtian's fear, Yang Wei asked, "Are there any techniques I can use to quickly hit the 4th level of Mortal Realm?"

Wu Fengtian rubbed his chin, "Not entirely sure, but some seniors mention practicing the Whispering Breeze Technique and Harmony Flow Technique simultaneously can awaken the Cascading Rivers Method. It draws more spiritual energy, allowing you to condense and refine it into essence Qi, strengthening the body for a breakthrough."

Yang Wei lay on the grass and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you do that to boost your trashy cultivation base?"

Nervously scratching his head, Wu Fengtian explained, "It's excruciatingly painful from the 4th to 6th levels—bone-breaking pain. If I can't endure it, my body turns to dust. Plus, I don't have a Qi-Channeling Stone, which is essential for Mortal Disciple levels."

"Alright then. I think I have that Qi-Channeling Stone; pretty sure I've seen it before."

Wu Fengtian laughed, "Senior Brother, a Qi-Channeling Stone is costly. You'd have to bed a woman to afford it."

Yang Wei, holding out the stone, scanned it with one eye, "That's precisely what I did."

"Ahhh! How did you get that?"

"She gave it to me..." Yang Wei's face turned solemn.

It's been weeks since I last saw Mu Lin. I think it's time for me to go talk to her. I know she'd want to talk, but she's a bit childish and too proud to admit it. So, I'll be the adult here and act first.

"Is everything okay, Senior Brother?" Wu Fengtian asked.

Yang Wei settled into a lotus position, meditating, "Shut up, let me cultivate in peace."

"Aye sir! I'll guard you with my life!" He saluted.

Yang Wei crossed his forearms and started cultivating.

The Whispering Breeze Technique is an intermediate method in the first level of the Mortal Realm, honing Qi control by guiding it through specific meridians with precision. Then, the Harmony Flow Technique, needed for the second level, focuses on balancing Yin and Yang Qi, fostering a harmonious synergy within.

Mastering both simultaneously, will awaken the cultivation advancement method for the third level.

Immediately, spiritual energy started encircling him like a typhoon.

Wu Fengtian watched with his usual amazement.

Is he that good?! Absorbing so much spiritual energy to refine into foundational energy—essence Qi. He's a beast!

"Will you test out some new techniques now?"

Yang Wei yawned, replying, "Maybe later, right now, I'm hungry. Let's go hunt for something to eat."

...

They searched for food across the Serpent's Spire.

However, the duo only encountered dead monsters, most of which had already rotten.

"If I don't eat something real soon, I feel like I might collapse," said Yang Wei with a hand on his stomach.

"I still have some dried meat stashed in my pockets, if you want?" Wu Fengtian suggested.

It received an irritated stare from Yang Wei.

While he did this, his mind wasn't entirely there.

He pointed behind Wu Fengtian, asking, "That steam... where's it coming from?"

Wu Fengtian, unaware, turned to see thick steam.

"I haven't come here before, so I wouldn't know."

"Let's go check it out."

Angrily, Wu Fengtian ruffled his hair and gritted his teeth.

NO! When you see something unusual you're supposed to go the other way!

...

They reached the source of the steam.

Yang Wei was more agile than his reluctant partner.

"Hmm, let's see..."

He parted thick shrubbery to witness something that widened his eyes.

Wu Fengtian, peeking from behind, asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

In response, Yang Wei swiftly slapped Wu Fengtian's face to the ground, preventing him from seeing anything.

What did Yang Wei see?

Sun Yuying.

Her white hair, and her soft, elegant skin soaked in a hot spring... completely naked.
