Upon hearing this, Lu Ning’s heart stirred.
Cultivating here until the Great Vehicle stage?
That wouldn’t be bad at all.
At the very least, it was much better than being in that small wooden hut.
However, she was still too naive.
Liu Ningshuang’s tone shifted, her eyes shimmering with an unfathomable depth.
“However…”
“Before we begin cultivating, your master must first give you a thorough physical examination.”
“Let me see how much filth you’ve picked up outside these past few days. Come to think of it, I was too rushed last time and didn’t properly help my disciple improve.”
As her voice trailed off, under Lu Ning’s stunned gaze, Liu Ningshuang slowly raised her hand and began to unfasten her own snow-white palace dress.
The movement was elegant and filled with allure.
Lu Ning stared blankly at the scene, her mind going completely empty.
‘What… what is going on?’
Before she could snap out of her immense shock,
Liu Ningshuang had already slowly slipped off the palace dress, revealing the snow-white undergarments beneath.
…
The undergarments clung tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her exquisite and well-proportioned figure.
She slowly walked up to Lu Ning, extended her slender jade-like finger, and gently lifted her chin.
“Ning’er, let us step into this immortal spring together.”
Hearing this, Lu Ning stood there foolishly, as if rooted to the spot.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Lu Ning’s dazed expression, a slow, meaningful curve formed at the corner of Liu Ningshuang’s mouth.
“My good disciple, are you unwilling?”
“Or do you want your master to assist you personally?”
Lu Ning’s body trembled violently.
She knew she had no choice in this forbidden land.
“Disciple… obeys.”
Lu Ning extended her trembling hands and began to unfasten her own black sect master’s robe.
Watching this scene, a flicker of admiration and fascination passed through Liu Ningshuang’s eyes.
She gently caressed Lu Ning’s skin, the delicate texture making it hard for her to let go.
“So beautiful.”
She sighed with genuine admiration.
“It’s just a pity it was defiled by certain blind flies.”
Liu Ningshuang’s tone carried a hint of regret and displeasure.
“Ning’er, last time at the wooden hut, because you were in a hurry to return and deal with the Tianmo Sect matters, your master didn’t get to properly regulate your condition. But starting today, your master will personally take action to purify all the filth from your body, cleansing it completely.”
As she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand.
Lu Ning’s body drifted uncontrollably towards the Jade Pool Immortal Spring, which was shrouded in a dense, ethereal immortal aura.
With a “plop,” the warm spring water, imbued with a strange power, instantly enveloped Lu Ning’s entire body.
An indescribable sense of comfort spread through her body, bringing an unprecedented feeling of relaxation to Lu Ning’s form, which had grown somewhat weary from days of “battles.”
However, before she could even begin to enjoy the sensation, a soft, warm figure silently pressed against her from behind.
Liu Ningshuang had also entered the Jade Pool Immortal Spring.
She gently embraced Lu Ning from behind, her warm breath cascading entirely upon Lu Ning’s ear.
“Ning’er, relax.”
Liu Ningshuang’s voice carried a hint of seduction.
“Next, your master will use my purest primordial power to cleanse your physical body and purify your spiritual soul.”
“This process might be a bit intense.”
“You must endure it.”
As the words fell, a force, purer and a hundred times more domineering than before at the wooden hut, surged wildly into Lu Ning’s body.
“Boom–!”
Lu Ning felt the Heavenly Demon bloodline within her, under the impact of this immense force, begin to boil over in an inconceivable manner.
The remaining traces of aura within her body, belonging to Gu Qinghuan, Ji Linglong, and Su Yuexi, were utterly insignificant before this domineering force.
Ultimately, those auras were completely devoured and assimilated by Liu Ningshuang’s pure primordial power.
Under this “purification,” Lu Ning’s body underwent earth-shattering changes.
Her skin became even more crystalline and translucent, seemingly so delicate it might break with a touch.
Her meridians became tougher and wider, capable of holding more true essence.
Even her spiritual soul became more condensed and pure, as if achieving some form of sublimation.
Finally, her cultivation level, amidst this passive “cultivation,” once again began to skyrocket wildly.
Peak of Divine Transformation….
Half-step Void Refinement…. Early Void Refinement!
In just half a day, Lu Ning’s cultivation had broken through another major realm, successfully stepping into the Void Refinement stage!
Liu Ningshuang gazed at her good disciple, who had fallen unconscious due to the explosive surge in power, an unprecedented fervor blazing in her eyes.
Indeed, this was the true essence of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Art.
The real core of this cultivation method lay in “resonance” and “fusion.”
When two individuals, both bearing the Heavenly Demon bloodline, communicated through this most primal and intimate method…at that moment, their bloodlines and souls would achieve a perfect resonance.
Consequently, both their cultivations would experience unprecedented advancement.
Liu Ningshuang looked at the still-slumbering Lu Ning in her arms, a meaningful curve slowly forming at the corner of her mouth.
“Ning’er, it seems your master will have to cherish you well from now on.”
As she spoke, she began a new round of exploration.
And Lu Ning, amidst this passive “cultivation,” was drawn into a dream filled with enchantment and wild abandon.
…
Unknowingly, after a long while, when Lu Ning slowly awoke from her stupor, it was already the next morning.
She gradually opened her heavy eyelids, her vision filled with crystal clear spring water and the ethereal immortal mist swirling around.
She realized she had somehow been laid upon the jade stone by the spring, a snow-white gossamer robe covering her body.
Liu Ningshuang sat quietly in meditation beside her, her eyes closed in rest.
On her usually cold, ethereal face, there was now a hint of a satisfied blush, making her resemble a gourmand who had just savored the finest delicacy in the world.
….
Lu Ning looked at her like this, a wave of confusion washing over her.
However, amidst her confusion, Lu Ning’s heart was also filled with shock.
She could sense the power within her body, which was now a hundred times stronger than before.
Early Void Refinement.
Moreover, it was Early Void Refinement with an exceptionally solid foundation.
This kind of rocket-like advancement speed was simply unheard of and unseen before.
“Awake?”
Liu Ningshuang’s voice suddenly sounded, pulling Lu Ning back from her reverie.
She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Lu Ning, and revealed a satisfied smile.
“Ning’er, how do you feel?”
“I… I’m alright.”
Lu Ning’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
“That’s good.”
Liu Ningshuang nodded.
“It seems your master’s ‘purification’ effect was quite effective.”
As she spoke, she slowly rose and walked to stand before Lu Ning.
She looked down at Lu Ning, who was still lying on the jade stone, a playful glint in her eyes.
Then, Liu Ningshuang slowly spoke, “Ning’er, your master has changed her mind.”
