“Huh?”
“This…”
Meng Fang lowered her head, but then lifted it again, cautiously glancing at Ye Tingfeng.
“This room… is it really that scandalous?” Ye Tingfeng was now somewhat embarrassed, unable to look in Meng Fang’s direction. “And Holy Maiden Lu, how did you know…?”
“Well, it’s a long story, but I can sense that this should be a mechanism left behind by our Yin Yang Sect.” Lu Li felt the faint Yin and Yang Qi in the air and recalled the inherited memories in his mind.
The Foundation Building Trial, on one hand, tested the disciples, and on the other hand, had them spar with each other.
Of course, participants from various sects would have left some small rewards for those who came later.
For example, this place. For a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, all they needed to do was use the Yin-Yang Reversal Art to get out.
For disciples of other sects, there were two ways to break through.
The first was the Yin Yang Union between a man and a woman.
The second was to comprehend the basics of Yin and Yang Qi, which was indeed useful for Foundation Establishment.
In terms of efficiency, Lu Li could get everyone out in a few minutes, but that would directly reveal his identity.
Although he didn’t know why the Yin Yang Sect hadn’t shown itself for thousands of years, out of some unspoken convention, Lu Li decided to maintain her female form in front of these people.
However, to help everyone escape, Lu Li still explained the two methods of breaking through.
“Phew, that makes things easier.” Yuan He patted Ye Tingfeng’s shoulder. “Our lives are in the hands of you two partners.”
“Perfect timing. I’ll meditate on Sword Zen and see if I can grasp the Yin and Yang Qi as well.” Liu Qingyang sat down cross-legged, cradling his long sword in his arms.
“I’ll do the same.” Lu Li also found a corner. Although this place temporarily imprisoned everyone, it was also an excellent shelter and resting spot.
“We won’t look at you two.” Yuan He whistled, then turned his back and sat cross-legged. A faint Buddhist Light appeared behind his head.
“That light of yours completely contrasts with your words and actions just now.” Lu Li couldn’t help but comment.
“I can’t help it. It’s a problem with my Spiritual Root.” Yuan He sighed. “I just find it incredibly easy to focus on these Buddhist scriptures, and the Buddhist techniques come to me as soon as I read them.”
“I think you’d be more suited to the Buddhist Light Sect. You should tone down that carefree personality of yours.”
“What did you say? Lately, as a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, haven’t you been unable to control your own longsword?”
“Sigh… if Holy Maiden Lu hadn’t touched my greatsword…”
“I bear some responsibility, but please don’t phrase it so ambiguously, Fellow Daoist Liu.” Lu Li let out a long sigh.
While the three of them were arguing, Ye Tingfeng and Meng Fang in the distance were also bright red. Though standing, their gazes darted back and forth.
“Brother Ye, are we really going to do it… here?”
“Probably. Maybe waiting for them to comprehend the Yin and Yang Qi is also an option.” Ye Tingfeng clenched his fists uncomfortably. “But… if we do this, it will let everyone leave sooner…”
“That’s true. Then…” Meng Fang reached out her hand. Just as she was about to touch Ye Tingfeng’s wrist, she instead tugged at his sleeve.
Feeling the slight pull, Ye Tingfeng blushed furiously as well.
“Junior Sister Meng…”
“Brother Ye…”
“By the way, Miss Lu.” Liu Qingyang looked at Lu Li. “Can your sect’s Charm Technique charm more than one person at the same time?”
“I’ve never tried, but it should be possible.” Lu Li watched the two who, after a few minutes, were still hesitating, not even holding hands. Her cherry-pink eyes began to shimmer with a faint light. “Should I use it?”
“Let’s watch a little longer.” Yuan He had Buddhist Light radiating from his head. “There’s nothing for me to see in the Buddhist sect.”
“You could always betray the Buddhist Light Sect.”
“They gave me that option, but I can’t beat the Sect Leader.”
“I always feel like your Buddhist Light Sect isn’t very orthodox…” Lu Li looked at Yuan He beside her.
“Actually, every sect has its own troubles.” Liu Qingyang said. “Also, Miss Lu, are you really not going to charm them?”
“Well… I think they do need a little push.” Lu Li looked at Ye Tingfeng and Meng Fang in the distance. After ten minutes of pulling and tugging, they had finally joined hands.
But there was still a long way to go before the crucial Yin Yang Qi Union.
“Bewitch Heart.” Lu Li let out a long sigh and gently blew a puff of air toward the two.
In an instant, their already crimson faces seemed ready to drip with water, and even their earlobes and necks flushed red.
“Brother Ye… I feel so hot…”
“Me too. Let me check the storage pouch for some water…”
Hearing this exchange, Lu Li couldn’t help but cover her face.
“Miss Lu, your Charm Technique seems a bit off.” Liu Qingyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“Shut up. Bewitch Heart.”
“Oh, my longsword spoke to me! Thank you, Miss Lu!”
“…Are all people from the Imperial Sword Sect like this?” Lu Li recalled the images her Master had once shown her. Though she could accept it rationally, right now she felt that the Yin Yang Sect was definitely much better than the Imperial Sword Sect.
“Hey, Benefactor Lu, could you use your Bewitch Heart on me too?”
“What for?”
“The mood is right. Also, I heard that your sect’s Charm Technique can make people see the appearance of their dream lover.” Yuan He had a serious expression. With the Buddhist Light behind his head, he indeed looked like a living high monk.
If only you ignored what he was saying.
“It’s not impossible. Just to pass the time.” Lu Li raised her wrist, and a wisp of pink smoke drifted before Yuan He.
“Oh! Oh! Oh! I can see it!” Yuan He’s pupils gradually unfocused, but he soon let out a miserable scream.
“No! Why is it Buddhist scriptures! No! Not the wooden fish! And why are there Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Arhats! Don’t come near me!!!”
Lu Li looked mournfully at Liu Qingyang, who was hugging his longsword and grinning foolishly, and Yuan He, who was shrieking in the corner.
In the distance, Ye Tingfeng and Meng Fang were constantly drinking water.
“This Immortal Cultivation world is beyond saving… I have to rely on this lady… pfft, no.” Lu Li shook her head and closed her eyes to look inward.
So-called Yin and Yang Qi needed to be separately placed in the Ren and Du Meridians.
Thus, the Yin and Yang Qi within the body would circulate, achieving “Endless Generation” with each cycle.
This cycle was the basis of Foundation Establishment. It could draw the scattered spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, then automatically condense it into dense True Yuan Liquid.
“The Yin Yang Sect inherently possesses Yin and Yang Qi, and now that I’ve transformed into a woman, the Primordial Yin Qi in my body is abundant. The Primordial Yang Qi from before hasn’t been used up much either. This makes things convenient…” As she pondered, Lu Li’s Divine Sense continuously guided and weaved within her body.
“Weng!”
In an instant, the excess Yin and Yang Qi within her condensed into a Yin Yang Fish, which then slowly drifted toward her original acupoints.
“Click.”
The sound of a Restriction being lifted rang out. Lu Li opened her eyes and saw the door standing wide open. A look of joy appeared on her face.
But when she looked at the people in the room again, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“Bewitch Heart, release.”
