Chapter 550: Phoenixes Singing in Harmony
Chapter 550: Phoenixes Singing in Harmony
Shen Xuan looked calmly at Qin Yuehan, as if he had anticipated it.
After a silent ten breaths.
Shen Xuan slowly opened his mouth and said solemnly, "Princess, I understand your intentions."
"We met amidst obscurity, have accompanied each other until now, and our bond is far from ordinary. If you are willing, we can journey together and support each other."
"You are drunk today. Wait until you sober up, make your decision, and come find me again."
Having said this, Shen Xuan stood up, intending to leave.
Qin Yuehan stood up, suddenly embraced Shen Xuan from behind.
"I’m not drunk. I’m very clear-headed. Tonight, don’t go, stay with me."
The night wind stirred, plum branches swayed.
That night.
Cold Moon Pavilion, bedroom, spring ambiance enchanting.
The noble and aloof Qin Yuehan, at this time, her cloud-like hair scattered, robe half undone, her snow-white skin with a captivating blush, eyes glimmering with allure, mesmerizingly seductive.
She kissed Shen Xuan proactively, as passionate as fire, clumsy yet bold.
As if she wanted to pour out all the emotions accumulated over a hundred years.
Her exquisite body illuminated by the bead’s glow was completely exposed.
Her waist slender, curves fluctuating, every inch of her skin turned vibrant due to emotion, exuding an amazing allure.
However, she soon realized what kind of being she had provoked.
Shen Xuan practiced the Body Refining Technique and recently achieved the Undying Turtle Breath Body, with robust blood and strong physique far surpassing ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
That night was like a stormy wind, akin to waves crashing against the shore.
Qin Yuehan seemed transformed into a small boat, swept into a boundless furious sea.
It wasn’t until then that she realized Shen Xuan’s flesh body was strong like a wild beast.
Never to tire.
Spring wind caresses willow, willow catkins flying.
The next day, the wind calmed, rain ceased.
Qin Yuehan lay limp, her black hair scattered, eyes tightly closed, long lashes still moist, exhausted, in deep sleep.
A hint of satisfaction hung on her lips.
Shen Xuan covered her with the cloud quilt, donned his clothes, and stood by the window.
At this time, his expression was calm, his blood restrained, eyes lively.
After more than an hour of intense activity, he showed no sign of tiredness, rather felt refreshed, indescribably comfortable.
Shen Xuan looked back at the sleeping Qin Yuehan on the bed, his gaze sweeping over her peaceful cheeks, eyes softening.
The path of the Dao is long.
Beside him, now stood someone trustworthy to accompany.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, still cool.
Only, it carried a few inexplicable lingering feelings.
...
The next morning.
Little Gu Peak was enveloped in thin morning fog.
In the morning light, tranquility prevailed.
Shen Xuan walked out leisurely from Cold Moon Pavilion.
The blue robe remained smooth as new, his expression indifferent.
After condensing the Golden Core, his appearance became increasingly youthful and handsome, like a young scion in his twenties.
Shen Xuan left Little Gu Peak along the green stone path.
Along the way, all Cyan Cloud Sect disciples made way, bowing in salute.
Shen Xuan encountered Gu Jinqin.
"Senior Brother!"
After saluting, Gu Jinqin likewise did not inquire further.
As if everything was as usual, nothing had happened.
In fact, they all knew.
Shen Xuan stayed overnight at Cold Moon Pavilion.
Shen Xuan nodded slightly to Gu Jinqin and continued down Little Gu Peak, his steps composed.
Transforming into a streak of blue escape light, heading to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
Shen Xuan went directly to find True Master Tong Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, why have you come? Didn’t even give a heads-up!"
Seeing Shen Xuan visiting, True Master Tong Xuan’s face was full of smiles.
Times have changed.
Shen Xuan is an Ice Technique Golden Core.
His status in Cyan Cloud Sect surpasses even his.
"Brother Tong Xuan, I’m here to settle sect merits."
Previously, Shen Xuan in Immortal City captured True Master Qing Ming from Truth Intent Sect, ice-sealed thousands of cultivators.
Afterward, he offered up the scales of the Ice Fiend Dragon and the Dark Yin Demon Dragon.
The combined merits were extensive and hadn’t been settled.
As for defeating Zhuo Wuyin in three breaths, it didn’t require settling.
Mysterious Trace True Master secured Starlight Island from Profound Celestial Sect for him as a practice ground.
"Thanks for the trouble, Brother Tong Xuan."
Shen Xuan cupped his hands and handed over the Identity Jade Token.
True Master Tong Xuan took the Identity Jade Token, opened the merit ledger, and swept it with Divine Sense, feeling emotional, "Brother Xuan, you’ve contributed greatly to the Sect."
"Brother Tong Xuan, the Cold Iron Rod temporarily borrowed last time will be deducted from sect merits."
"Okay."
True Master Tong Xuan quickly calculated.
"Brother Xuan, after the battle at Immortal City, the sect merits totaled three million nine hundred thousand. For the two demon dragons’ scales, the sect merits are one million seven hundred thousand. The Cold Iron Rod requires one million five hundred thousand sect merits."
Shen Xuan took the Identity Jade Token, glanced at it, showing more than six million two hundred thousand sect merits recorded.
These years, while refining pills on Starlight Island, he earned quite a lot of sect merits as well.
"What Tier Three spiritual objects can be exchanged in the warehouse?"
Now, his status is different.
All spiritual objects treasured by the Cyan Cloud Sect are open to him.
True Master Tong Xuan took out a Jade Scroll of spiritual objects in inventory and handed it to Shen Xuan, "All Tier Three spiritual objects in the warehouse are listed here."
Shen Xuan scanned the Jade Scroll with Divine Sense.
The entire Cyan Cloud Sect only had spiritual objects within several decades.
The majority were refining materials.
Looking at the prices, mostly above a million sect merits.
Shen Xuan thought for a moment and selected three.
Tier Three Earth Attribute Demon King, one Drilling Earth Dragon Inner Core, sect merits two million two hundred thousand.
Tier Three Fire Attribute Bird King, one portion of Firewing Bird Essence Blood, sect merits one million five hundred thousand.
A pair of fangs from a Tier Three Gold Attribute Demon King, the Metal-devouring Beast, valued at 1.8 million sect merits.
With just these three items, Shen Xuan nearly spent all of his sect merits.
True Master Tong Xuan took the Jade Scroll, looking puzzled, "Junior Brother Profound Ice, these items differ greatly in attributes, not what your Ice Technique requires?"
Shen Xuan replied, "Senior Brother Tong Xuan, does the storeroom have Tier Three cultivation spiritual objects needed for the Ice Technique?"
True Master Tong Xuan’s expression froze.
"If it’s not listed on this Jade Scroll, then there isn’t any."
"I’ll exchange for these three first. If possible, I’ll trade them for Ice Technique spiritual objects."
True Master Tong Xuan asked no more questions, "Junior Brother Profound Ice, please wait, I will get them for you myself."
Only True Master Tong Xuan was qualified to take Tier Three cultivation spiritual objects from the sect’s storeroom.
After a short while, Tong Xuan came out holding three Jade Boxes.
After verifying them, Shen Xuan put the three Jade Boxes away.
The number of merits on his Identity Jade Token decreased, leaving only 800,000.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tong Xuan."
Shen Xuan bowed and took his leave.
True Master Tong Xuan smiled warmly and personally escorted him out.
Watching Shen Xuan’s departing figure, True Master Tong Xuan seemed lost in thought.
"I heard Junior Brother Profound Ice treated True Master Wen Yang of the Golden Sun Sect, receiving the ’Nine Revolutions Fiery Sun Technique’ and ’Pure Yang True Flame Technique’ as compensation. Does he intend to cultivate Fire Techniques as well?"
True Master Tong Xuan shook his head, turned around, and returned to the hall, thinking no more of it.
The path to Nascent Soul had long been unrelated to him.
Now, he only wished to cultivate his heart and nature, to live a few more years.
...
After exchanging the spiritual objects, Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan returned hand in hand to Starlight Island.
Cold Ice Cave.
The island’s core figures gathered here.
Zhuang Xueqin, Shangguan Yan’Er, Ding Yijin, Tie Wenda, Lin Zhongyue, Chu Duanlang and others sat on both sides, their expressions varied.
Shen Xuan sat at the main seat.
Beside him was Qin Yuehan, who had a cool temperament and exceptional beauty.
After surveying those present, Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, Junior Sister True Master Qin will reside on Starlight Island permanently."
"True Master Wei Chen, if I’m not here, you may report the island’s matters to True Master Qin and let her make the decisions."
Zhuang Xueqin hurriedly bowed, "Wei Chen obeys!"
At these words, everyone understood clearly.
Shen Xuan confirmed True Master Qin’s status.
She was only second to him.
And ranked above Deputy Island Master True Master Wei Chen.
The relationship between Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan was becoming evident.
But he didn’t say it, and no one dared to mention it.
"Yan’Er, come here."
Shangguan Yan’Er obediently stepped forward.
"This is my junior sister, Qin Yuehan, True Master Hanyue. From now on, serve by her side and seek her guidance often."
"Yan’Er obeys. Yan’Er greets True Master Hanyue."
Shangguan Yan’Er curtsied respectfully.
Qin Yuehan’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently.
Earlier, Shen Xuan had told her about a concubine on Starlight Island.
She turned out to be an old acquaintance who handled the Cold Ice Cave’s miscellaneous affairs for him.
The two had long stopped dual cultivation together.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator simply couldn’t withstand his power.
Qin Yuehan glanced at Shangguan Yan’Er calmly, without any hint of rejection.
Shen Xuan was an Ice Technique Golden Core, with great potential.
He wouldn’t have only her by his side.
And Shangguan Yan’Er was a thing of the past.
She wasn’t bothered.
Qin Yuehan smiled at everyone, her demeanor dignified, exuding an indomitable aura.
She was a Commandery Princess by birth, naturally noble.
That day, a banquet was arranged in the Cold Ice Cave, and everyone enjoyed to their heart’s content.
Afterwards, Qin Yuehan officially moved into Starlight Island, living in the Cold Ice Cave as the hostess.
More than ten days later.
Seeing that Qin Yuehan had consolidated her Fake Pill Realm,
Shen Xuan took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her.
"Yuehan, inside are three high-quality Rejuvenation Pills. Refine them properly to extend your lifespan and stabilize your foundation."
Qin Yuehan took the medicine bottle, deeply moved.
The Rejuvenation Pill was already extremely precious, and high-quality spiritual pills were even rarer, each worth millions of Spirit Stones.
Yet Shen Xuan gave her three high-quality Rejuvenation Pills, showing his deep affection.
"Shen Lang, keep them to exchange for Longevity Pills."
Qin Yuehan’s voice trembled slightly.
"What silly talk!"
Shen Xuan said with a smile, "My lifespan is long, Longevity Pill matters are not urgent. You should first take these three high-quality Rejuvenation Pills to increase your lifespan and rejuvenate your blood, aiding your cultivation."
Some things, Shen Xuan didn’t say aloud.
Being a Fake Pill True Master didn’t mean the path was completely cut off.
It’s said that some people can enhance the quality of their Elixir Core, advancing from a Fake Pill to a True Pill, by consuming certain Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or practicing some Secret Techniques.
If the opportunity arises, Shen Xuan certainly intends to try and help Qin Yuehan improve her Inner Core quality.
Forming a Nascent Soul is not expected.
However, enhancing realm cultivation and extending lifespan are worthwhile.
Qin Yuehan nodded vigorously, said no more, and began to focus on refining the high-quality Rejuvenation Pills.
Three months later, Qin Yuehan had consumed and refined all three high-quality Rejuvenation Pills.
The effects were immediate.
Qin Yuehan’s skin became more lustrous and radiant, surpassing snow itself, appearing more dazzling and vibrant.
With her icy skin and jade bones, eyes like cold stars, her body seemed rejuvenated, her cheeks slightly flushed, with a hint of youthful charm.
Qin Yuehan could feel a slight increase in vitality in her body.
Shen Xuan sensed the changes in her body, estimating an increase of about forty years in her lifespan.
That night, filled with joy, Qin Yuehan used all sorts of means, letting Shen Xuan enjoy himself fully.
The two of them, handsome man and beautiful woman, their demeanor outstanding, were almost like a divine couple.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
A month later, a spaceship carrying the flag of the Qin family from Purple Maple Mountain of the Profound Celestial Sect arrived at Starlight Island.
