Chapter 98 - : Nine Yang Sacred Technique

Meng Wu blushed and stomped away angrily.

Yunshang’s eyes grew cold and her face darkened as she said in a cold voice, “You look like you don’t welcome me here?”

“No, I’m just worried that the place is too simple and crude, so Teacher will find it difficult to rest. Please come in!” Yunxiao quickly gestured her in, and then ordered someone to prepare a room for her.

Yunshang nodded slightly and said, “That’s better! Come with me, I’ve something to ask you.”

She walked straight into a room, which happened to be the one Yunxiao had chosen for himself, and closed the door. Then, as if she felt that it was not secure enough, she performed an incantation gesture with her fingers and threw several seals at every corner.

Yunxiao knew those were eavesdropping prevention seals. With them in place, the whole room was now a completely isolated space, and no one would hear anything from outside. He was nervous when he saw the way Yunshang was looking at him, and he thought, ‘What is she trying to do? Don’t tell me she is going to rape me?’

Looking at her beautiful face and unique charisma, as well as smelling the faint scent of a maiden wafting out of her body, Yunshang felt his heart flutter. ‘Well, what can I do? With such a big gap between our cultivation base, all my resistance will be futile. If this is what she wants, I’ll just give it to her then.’

He closed his eyes and waited excitedly for the happy moment.

“Why? Too shy to look at me?” Yunshang chuckled. She had a very attractive smile. It was a pity that she did not smile often.

Yunxiao took a deep breath and opened his eyes. “No, I was just nervous. It seems that Teacher Luo is well-prepared mentally.”

“Yes,” she said in a soft voice, “I thought for a long time before I decided to come to you.”

Yunxiao flexed his arms nervously as he rubbed his palms against each other, then smiled and said, “Hah, I forget that you are a teacher! I’m too nervous. Well, let’s waste no more time.”

He began to take off his clothes.

That gave Yunshang a pause. “Yo-you… what are you doing?” she asked blankly.

“Taking off my clothes. How are we going to do it without taking off…Oh!” Yunxiao slapped himself on the forehead. “I totally forget it. As a gentleman, I should remove the clothes for you first.”

With his clothes hanging loosely on him, he walked over to remove Yunshang’s belt. But all of a sudden, he sensed a burst of murderous air that was stronger than Ramayana!

He trembled as a chill ran from the bottom of his feet up into his head, and his hand stopped before Yunshang’s belt and could no longer move further, as if he was completely frozen. Meanwhile, a towering murderous air poured directly into the depths of his mind, and he felt like he was plunging into an abyss.

‘What’s going on? Does Teacher Luo want to play it rough?’

Bam!

A huge axe appeared in the air, shining brilliantly and filling the entire room.

‘What!’ Yunxiao was shocked. ‘Isn’t this too over the top? Who can endure it?’

Boom!

Even as his head was filled with anxiety and doubts, the axe came crashing down like a mountain falling from the sky. Fortunately, it came with its back facing down. Yunxiao threw both hands up to stop it, but in the next instant, he was slammed into the ground.

When the dust settled, a dark, bottomless pit was opened up in the center of the room while Yunxiao was nowhere to be found.

Yunshang’s face was livid and she was trembling with rage as she bellowed into the pit, “Li Yunxiao, had it not been because you are his disciple, I would have killed you today!”

She reached out a hand, and the huge axe in the air immediately shrank and flew into her palm. Then, she spun and left the room.

Covered in blood, Yunxiao lay at the bottom of the deep pit while muttering to himself with a bitter smile, “I thought she wants to play it rough? What does she really want? Why can’t she just tell me?”

Then it suddenly dawned on him. “His disciple? His disciple… Oh, I see! She didn’t find out who I am. Instead, she thought I am Gu Feiyang’s disciple! No wonder!”

Ji Meng and the others rushed over quickly. When they saw Yunshang, whose face was so dark and seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, walking out of the room, they trembled and felt a chill run down their backs. Then, they jumped into the pit one by one to bring Yunxiao out.

With a bemused expression, Meng Bai asked, “Why is Teacher Luo so angry, Master?”

Chen Zhen’s eyes lit up as he said in shock, “Young Master Yun, why are your clothes untied? Oh, you can’t be thinking of…”

He covered his mouth with a hand, his eyes widened as he stared at Yunxiao in disbelief. Then, he held out a thumb and said admiringly, “Amazing, you’re really amazing! Although your recent performance had been extraordinary and shocking, I’ve never admired you as much as today!”

Han Bai’s forehead was covered in beads of cold sweat. “Young Master Yun, I know it is a tough and boring job to lead an army to war, but you still have Meng Wu. You don’t have to go so far as to…”

He shuddered suddenly, as if Luo Yunshan was staring at him from behind, and he did not dare to finish what he wanted to say.

Yunxiao only smiled wryly.

“What are you talking about?” Meng Bai blinked and asked with an innocent face. “Why did you mention my sister?”

Meng Wu was just outside and was about to jump into the pit when she heard their conversation. She felt her face burn with shame, and she quickly turned and ran away.

…

In the next few days, Anyong was rather calm and quiet.

Luo Yunshang did not leave, but stayed in the mansion. Too embarrassed to see her again, Yunxiao gave a random excuse and shut himself in his room after he was brought out of the pit.

His body was in a ruinous state after he had stimulated his potential with the needles outside Yangpu, and he had been using all kinds of medicinal pills to stabilize his condition. Had it not been because he had cultivated the Tyrant Body Tempering Technique, he would be dead with his body blown apart.

Now, although he was seriously wounded again by Yunshang, his Glazed Body had absorbed all the pure Yang energy that came with the attack. After slowly digesting the energy, it actually provided much help in the healing of his previous injury.

“Nine Yang Sacred Technique is indeed magical, and is truly the treasure of Shenxiao Temple! No wonder Chen Dasheng and Xiao Qingwang have recovered better than I expected. Hehe, I wonder who will get the big prize in the end?”

Qu Hongyan had once told him the secret of the technique, that was, when a girl cultivating the technique had sexual intercourse with a man for the first time, she would pass the trace of purest energy in her to the man, and then she would lose her Nine Yang True Body.

It brought tremendous benefits to both sides. After receiving the trace of purest energy, the man’s cultivation base would increase significantly, and after the girl lost her Nine Yang True Body, a trace of pure Yin energy would be born in her, which would then soften her pure Yang body. With Yin and Yang reaching a balanced state, her cultivation base would improve by leaps and bounds as well.

That was why the technique was a rare treasure. Unfortunately, girls with pure Yang bodies were very rare, and as a result, only a few had cultivated the technique in the past thousands of years. However, those who did had all become peerless experts and held sway over the world.

“I didn’t expect this Glazed Body to be so strong…It has developed resistance against Thousand Birds pills, which even a Martial King finds hard to endure. Now it is basically ineffective for me. What should I do? Do I really need to begin refining some Nine Orifices pills? But, can I endure such powerful medicine? Moreover, I have to become a third-tier alchemist to refine it, though it is still very difficult…”

“Anyway, I think I better start gathering the ingredients. The five main ingredients are Scaled Stick, Skywolf Rock Orchid, Pure Sacred Crystal, Darkthunder Blood, and Phantomjade Fruit. I only have the Scaled Stick now, and I need to find the other four, which are all very expensive. Although I’ve looted so many City Lord Mansions, I didn’t even see one…Most probably, I can’t find any of them in the whole Tianshui.”

He pondered for a moment, then said decisively, “When I am done here and have helped Qin Yue ascend the throne, I’ll go to the Sea of Soul Formation. Even if I don’t reveal my identity, I should be able to improve my cultivation base there as quickly as possible.”

After making up his mind, he began to meditate.

His injury had begun to gradually heal after his body absorbed Yunshang’s pure Yang energy. As he entered the meditative state, his flesh slowly turned transparent, revealing his Glazed Body.

In the Divine Realm Tablet, his soul-form was constantly tempering his soul power while his true-self was repeatedly absorbing natural Primordial Qi in the room to temper his dantian and meridians.

As he was cultivating his body, Qi, and soul at the same time, the amount of energy required for Yunxiao to break through to the next level was enormous. The energy that could allow other warriors to advance a few stars was not even enough to make him advance by a star. But, this also made him almost invincible among the warriors of the same level.

All of a sudden, his soul-form in the tablet felt a rush of anxiety and restlessness, which woke him from his meditation. He had never experienced such a feeling before. Abruptly, he threw his head back in shock and looked at the sky.

The golden texts of the Great Expansion Divine Technique that filled the sky vanished in an instant; the sky was cloudless, bright and clear. Suddenly, a pillar of flame towered into the sky in the southern part of the Divine Realm Tablet and began to burn like clouds.

“What’s going on?”

It was the first time he saw such a strange phenomenon in the Divine Realm Tablet. However, his weak soul power had restricted him from exploring further, so he could only watch as the flame seemed to transform into a golden phoenix and dance gracefully in the sky, before slowly fading away.

“A True Spirited Fire Phoenix!”

Yunxiao was utterly shocked. As he watched the flame gradually vanish, he murmured with a serious expression, “Is there a True Spirited Fire Phoenix in this Divine Realm Tablet? But, how is that possible? The phoenix is a divine being between heaven and earth, and I had never seen it even in my previous life!”

As he was distracted, he could no longer calm down. He flicked open his eyes and was lost in thoughts in the room.

“No, that should be the phantom of a Fire Phoenix. In the legends, all True Spirits can travel through the void, so how can it be trapped in a mystic artifact? But… why did the phenomenon appear now?”

He thought for a long time with no conclusion.

Suddenly, he heard Ji Meng’s voice coming from the door, “Young Master Yun, the commander-in-chief has ordered all generals and military officers to attend a meeting in the City Lord Mansion at once.”

Yunxiao sighed. “Got it!”

He put all the questions aside as he stood up and went to the City Lord Mansion.
