Chapter 911 - 691: Settling in with the Liu Family
After spending several days with Shen Xuan, Liu Yiyun gradually realized that her inexpensive master appeared cold-faced, yet his heart wasn’t bad, and he was somewhat bold.
"Master, are you sure this will work?"
"If the disciple fails to break through..."
Liu Yiyun mumbled quietly.
Before she finished speaking, Shen Xuan had already lightly tapped the back of her head with his palm.
"So much talk, quickly start cultivating!"
Liu Yiyun dared not speak further, she closed her eyes, focused her mind, and silently began operating the [Spiritual Flood Dragon Power].
The moment the cultivation technique started, the blood and qi within her body began boiling like simmering water.
Suddenly.
"Roar!"
A primitive, antiquated roar, as though from a distant past, exploded within her sea of consciousness.
Immediately afterward, a strange feeling enveloped her whole body.
She felt herself transforming into a spiritual flood dragon.
Cold, hard scales covered her entire body, and a single horn grew on her forehead, as sharp as a short spear.
The three-toed flood dragon claw slightly curved, its glint as cold as a scythe.
Liu Yiyun "opened" the eyes of the flood dragon, filled with ferocity and savagery.
At the same time, her physical body in reality was also undergoing dramatic changes.
Every limb, every bone, every muscle and layer of skin transmitted a sensation akin to tearing and rebirth, as if a spiritual flood dragon was shedding its hide and revealing new life.
The flow of blood surged like a tide, power continuously amassed and expanded.
Though her body seemed slender and weak, a strong aura suddenly burst forth, permeating the air.
Liu Yiyun clearly sensed her bones tightening, her tendons and membranes gaining resilience, and an unprecedented explosive power contained within her muscles.
It was as though her whole body was undergoing a "shedding of skin and changing of blood," with power and resilience rapidly soaring.
However, at this crucial moment, Liu Yiyun suddenly felt a tightening in her heart.
There was some exhaustion behind her strength.
The accumulated power neared its limit, unable to break through the final bottleneck.
At that moment, a warm, broad hand gently pressed on the Baihui acupoint on her head.
The next instant, a gentle stream of warmth flowed from the palm.
It was like being enlightened, or the thawing of spring water.
The warm stream moved rapidly along her meridians, rushing through her limbs and bones in an instant.
Liu Yiyun’s body shook.
It felt like a dry riverbed finally receiving nourishing rain, and all areas of stagnation and blockage were effortlessly cleared under the support of this warm stream.
The bottleneck was suddenly broken through.
The warm stream continued to flow in, nourishing every inch of flesh and bones, propelling the body to continue transforming.
Strength, resilience, agility, speed, vitality...
Everything continued to ascend!
Her body was undergoing a baptism of rebirth, shedding the old skin inch by inch, the new flesh radiating vigorous energy.
This time, the perception was even clearer.
She was that spiritual flood dragon.
A vague silhouette of a spiritual flood dragon suddenly manifested, merging with her physical body in an incredible way, integrating into every meridian, every bone, every drop of blood.
"Roar!"
Liu Yiyun opened her eyes, raising her head to let out a long cry bordering on the roar of a flood dragon!
Beneath her skin, a faint golden sheen appeared, gently flowing, exuding a solid and resilient texture.
The [Spiritual Flood Dragon Power] broke through the realm, refined into the Golden Body Realm!
...
Liu Yiyun’s breakthrough was smoother than expected.
She stared dazedly at Shen Xuan after he finished the technique, biting her dry lips, and asked softly, "Master, have I broken through just like that?"
"Yes, your foundation is acceptable."
Shen Xuan offered rare praise.
This was indeed truthful.
Liu Yiyun had put in hard work on the [Spiritual Flood Dragon Power], with a solid foundation.
He merely gave a helpful push, infusing a small amount of Divine Dragon essence, allowing her to naturally achieve the Golden Body.
"That was too fast."
Liu Yiyun murmured to herself, somewhat in a daze.
"Adjust your breath in the practice room for three days, solidify your realm well."
Leaving these words, Shen Xuan stood up and departed.
As a Body Refining Master at the Divine Power Realm, personally taking action.
Such treatment was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch assisting a Qi Cultivation Disciple.
Liu Yiyun was truly fortunate without realizing it.
Outside the practice room, Xiangcao was waiting.
Seeing Shen Xuan coming out, she immediately looked over eagerly.
"Your young lady is fine, successfully broke the realm."
Shen Xuan glanced at the little maidservant, with a Water Attribute Lower Grade Spirit Root, her aptitude was ordinary.
"Do you want to learn?" he suddenly asked.
"Ah?"
Xiangcao froze, her fingers nervously twisting the corner of her clothes.
"A servant girl can also cultivate?"
Shen Xuan, not bothering to explain more, lightly tapped her forehead.
The key formula for the early stage of the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] was imprinted directly into the depths of her Divine Soul.
With Xiangcao’s latent talent, reaching the Golden Body Realm in this life was already an extreme achievement.
"This is a secret technique of our sect, not to be passed on."
Shen Xuan’s tone was indifferent.
"If you violate, your Divine Soul will be exterminated. Xiangcao, take care of yourself."
Shen Xuan was not concerned about his identity being exposed.
He was living and cultivating in Mingyan Immortal City as Guo Shiyan.
Even if they verified his impersonation.
They couldn’t trace back to his origins.
As for Xiangcao cultivating [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], it was just a casual act.
There was no deliberate scheming between Liu Yiyun and Xiangcao.
In his eyes, these two were merely temporary tools for use.
His true objective was to utilize the Liu Family behind Liu Yiyun to naturally integrate into the cultivation clan circle of Mingyan Immortal City, facilitating his future actions.
If not for this, why would he expend effort to support a mere Qi Cultivation junior’s breakthrough?
...
Two months later, at the Liu Family on Dongming Mountain.
The tea fragrance lingered in the reception hall.
"Brother Liu, long time no see, I, Lu, have come to visit with a humble gift, not worth much appreciation."
A slender, tall old man at the late stage of Foundation Establishment took a sip of Spirit Tea and said with a chuckle.
Beside him, a well-dressed young man presented a Jade Box with both hands.
Liu Mingzhi smiled as he received it, opening it to reveal a five-hundred-year-old blood ginseng inside.
