Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

A few days later.

Bang!

A wave of Spiritual Energy erupted from Chen Xuan’s courtyard.

Thankfully, the formation activated and suppressed the impact before it could spread.

Similarly, Chen Xuan reacted quickly and calmed the disturbance with a wave of his hands.

He didn’t pay attention to the cracked floor, nor did he feel any heartache about the broken items around him.

A smile lingered on his face, while the bright glint in his eyes betrayed his enthusiasm.

"Finally! A breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Core Formation!"

Chen Xuan had every reason to be happy.

After several years of being stuck at a bottleneck and being unable to make further progress, he seized the opportunity of absorbing the Blood Essence and successfully achieved a breakthrough.

At the same time, another pleasant surprise appeared.

As he summoned the System Panel and looked at it, he discovered a change which perfectly matched his suspicions.

...

[Physique: Yin-Yang Spirit Body(Low-Grade)—A former Mortal Physique upgraded by absorbing the Blood Essence of a Holy Body. It greatly enhances its owner’s affinity with Yin-Yang powers. It is particularly suitable for dual cultivation.]

...

After absorbing two more drops of Blood Essence, Chen Xuan’s Physique had transformed.

Though it was only a Spirit Body and was still far weaker than Huo Ling’er’s Vulcan Holy Body, this was already a huge improvement over his previous Mortal Body.

"I can feel that my rate of absorbing Spiritual Energy has more than doubled. Moreover, understanding the Yin-Yang Origin Dao and the Yin Yang Technique has become significantly easier."

Chen Xuan had not rested over the past few days.

Besides absorbing the Blood Essence and cultivating, he had spent the rest of his time getting familiar with the Yin-Yang Origin Dao.

He had to admit it: this legendary power truly lived up to its reputation.

Even though he had just barely gotten started and had grasped less than one ten-thousandth of its profound meanings, his combat power had soared.

"With the Origin Dao, the Evergreen Robe, and my breakthrough in cultivation, I should now be able to contend against cultivators at the Late Stage of Core Formation." Chen Xuan judged and clenched his fists.

His confidence surged.

Though he had merely broken through a single substage, the Yin-Yang Spirit Body, the other rewards, and the System filled him with anticipation for the future.

However, Chen Xuan quickly regained his composure and forced himself to calm down.

Having survived in this cultivation world this long, it was obvious that he was not lacking in intelligence.

If anything, reaching his current status and power with his trash-tier Mortal Physique was a testament to his intelligence.

"There’s no reason to be overconfident. My cultivation remains the weakest among the many Peak Masters.

"I would have never been able to become a Peak Master if it were not for the Yin Yang Peak’s weakness and my Master’s status and strength."

Chen Xuan knew the situation of the other Peaks.

Moreover, he had taken the earlier Disciple Ceremony as an opportunity and used Insight Eye to check on their cultivation.

His discovery matched the information he had gathered.

Even the weakest Peak Master was at the Peak of the Core Formation realm, while most were Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

The masters of the strongest peaks, such as the Battle Peak, were at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The most shocking of all was none other than the Sect Leader.

According to her previous achievements, she should have also been at the Middle Stage.

Yet, Chen Xuan discovered that she had reached the Peak of this realm unbeknownst to everyone.

She was actually extremely close to breaking through the Soul Formation realm!

"The waters of the Jade Pure Sect are deeper than I thought. I have no right to be arrogant." Chen Xuan judged, and his eyes narrowed.

A stream of black and white energy emerged and formed a thin film around his body.

As this film settled and turned invisible, Chen Xuan’s aura began to grow weaker.

He quickly returned to his previous state and only displayed the strength of an Early Stage Core Formation cultivator.

It was only then that he rose to his feet.

Raising his hand, he pinched his chin, wanting to stroke his beard.

But halfway through that motion, he discovered that there was nothing to take hold of.

Swiftly moving his hand to the side, he pretended that nothing had happened and gently clasped his hands behind his back.

Then, he walked out of the courtyard while maintaining the demeanor of an experienced expert.

--

"Elder! I just want you to pass my message to Junior Sister Huo! I swear, we’re familiar!"

"We both come from the same city!"

At the bottom of the mountain, at the staircase leading up the Yin-Yang Peak, an altercation was taking place. Or rather, a one-sided confrontation.

Two young men were facing a middle-aged Elder.

The young man speaking had short brown hair and brown eyes, and the best word to describe him was simply "ordinary".

His appearance, attitude, and bearing were all ordinary and unassuming.

Yet, this wasn’t the case for his tone.

Though he was facing an Elder at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, this Qi Refining youth showed no fear.

"Don’t worry! I know your troubles! As long as Junior Sister Huo receives my message, you will be rewarded greatly!" Xiao Huo boasted arrogantly.

His tone made the Elder speechless. He immediately wished to throw this brat off the Yin-Yang Peak.

However, he restrained that impulse.

Not because of Xiao Huo or some kind of invisible rule, but because of the young man standing next to him.

The Elder recognized him.

Long Feng—the only son of Elder Long, a cultivator at the Core Formation realm.

The middle-aged Elder knew Elder Long personally, and the two had even drunk together in the past.

Because of this, coupled with the strength of Long Feng’s father, he was hesitant to make a scene.

The Elder found himself in a predicament.

He cursed at Xiao Huo’s good luck and wondered how this brat had gotten involved with Long Feng.

Fortunately, just when his face started to get ugly and he was beginning to lose his cool, he sensed a familiar aura approaching this place.

A dark figure appeared in the distance. In the next instant, it materialized beside the entrance, revealing a handsome young man.

The Elder’s eyes lit up.

He immediately clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Peak Master!" he greeted.

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

"What’s going on here?" he glanced at the two young men and frowned.

Upon hearing this, the Elder breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately began to explain the situation.
