Chapter 1106

However, to cultivate the second layer, he still needed to visit Yun Tian City first!

He spent just a day stabilizing the first layer of the Thousand Vein Body Forging Technique a bit more.

At last, accompanied by the sound of a voice, Qin Qi’s eyes glittered with delight, knowing it was time to emerge from seclusion.

"Qin Qi, young friend!"

Just hearing the voice, Qin Qi knew exactly who had arrived.

Wasn’t it Housekeeper Wu!

Sure enough, after leaving his room, he spotted Housekeeper Wu, controlling his Tunneling Light, soaring in the air.

This time, unlike before, four black-robed figures followed by his side, each shrouded in a sinister aura.

With a glance, these people were also cultivators at the Core Formation Stage. Though not as strong as Housekeeper Wu, they were undoubtedly fierce ghosts among their kind.

Seeing this, Qin Qi felt quietly moved inside.

No doubt about it—Yan Shuiming must have learned about last time’s events, and prepared these guards especially for him!

Just then, Ji Hongzhuang and Ji Qingzhu sensed what was happening and quickly arrived.

Ji Hongzhuang seemed fine, but Ji Qingzhu’s gaze was full of complexity.

Remembering what her sister had said to her not long ago, she began to ponder inwardly.

"The people of Primordial Heart Palace are coming to fetch Qin Qi again. And every time, the display becomes grander..." Ji Qingzhu lightly bit her rosy lips.

This meant Qin Qi’s status in Yan Shuiming’s eyes was steadily rising.

As for herself...

In the midst of these thoughts, Qin Qi had already ascended, arriving before Housekeeper Wu. "Housekeeper Wu, thank you for your trouble!"

"Young master, you’re far too polite!" Housekeeper Wu, hands clasped behind his back, said calmly, "From today onward, Lord Yan Shuiming has commanded that every time you travel between cities, it’s required that I personally escort you safely!"

"I hope young master can understand!"

Qin Qi, of course, had no objections. "No need for understanding—if anything, I worry I’ve inconvenienced you, Housekeeper Wu!"

Housekeeper Wu kept a poker face, but inwardly felt a silent admiration.

This Qin Qi, still so young, with such exceptional talent, yet not the least bit arrogant or impetuous—whether in speech or bearing, he was calm and composed!

No wonder their palace lord cared so much for him.

With that thought, Housekeeper Wu cut to the point, "Young master, please!"

Qin Qi nodded, following Housekeeper Wu and boarding the carriage together.

He couldn’t help feeling curious: how was the Spirit Evil Woman recovering now?

This time, accompanied by four strong cultivators from Primordial Heart Palace and Housekeeper Wu himself, the journey to Xuantian City would be much smoother—no doubt!

Of course, they encountered no one from Xuan Yi Sect, arriving safe and sound at Primordial Heart Palace.

After arriving at the palace, Housekeeper Wu remained courteous: "Young master, the palace lord is inside—please go ahead!"

Qin Qi nodded in acknowledgment and entered the palace.

As soon as he entered Primordial Heart Palace, Qin Qi quickly saw Yan Shuiming waiting for him.

But today, Yan Shuiming looked paler and wearier than in previous days. Qin Qi even had the strange illusion that Yan Shuiming’s body was becoming a bit translucent!

Seeing Qin Qi, Yan Shuiming wasted no words, simply saying, "You’ve come?"

"Senior, what about my Ghost Servant..." Qin Qi asked directly.

"You really are anxious. No hurry—she’s resting in my chamber for calming the mind. Give it another three days, and you’ll have her bouncing back!" Yan Shuiming spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Qin Qi was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you, senior!"

Still, he knew.

With just a few days left, Yan Shuiming summoning him must have had another purpose.

He guessed it had everything to do with her poor complexion.

Everything was just as he expected.

Yan Shuiming skipped the unnecessary words, "I called you here because it’s time for you to fulfill your promise. Previously, I told you that the cultivation technique I practice requires your assistance. I hope you haven’t forgotten!"

"Of course, I remember!" Qin Qi replied.

Yan Shuiming waved her slender hand. "Mm, come with me!"

Qin Qi followed Yan Shuiming.

The two soon arrived at the back of the palace.

No one could have imagined that behind the grand hall lay a carefully tended, tranquil bamboo grove.

The air here was fresh, the scenery beautiful, and the nature’s spiritual energy exceedingly dense. Even taking a careful whiff, one could sense that the Yang Qi here was far richer than in other places.

Yan Shuiming parted her cherry lips: "This is where I usually cultivate my technique. Later, you will assist me here!"

"What you need to do is very simple: just continuously channel your Yang Qi into my body!"

Qin Qi heard and replied, "Understood, senior!"

With that, Yan Shuiming waved her delicate hand and sat with her back to Qin Qi.

"I will cultivate my technique here. Remember, the Yang Qi transmission must not pause. Understood?" Yan Shuiming said.

Qin Qi nodded.

He focused with all his might and could clearly sense that Yan Shuiming’s aura and mana were already distinctly changing.

Clearly, she had begun cultivating her technique.

Seeing this, Qin Qi dared not delay. He quickly gathered Yang Qi to his palm, pressed it to her back, and continuously channeled the Yang Qi in.

As soon as the Yang Qi entered her body—

Yan Shuiming’s slender figure gently trembled.

"Such mighty Yang Qi!"

Yan Shuiming’s pupils contracted.

She’d expected Qin Qi’s Yang Qi to be abundant, but hadn’t thought it would be so rich and dense at the same time.

This was the purest Yang Qi she’d ever tasted.

For a moment, she couldn’t help but let out a soft gasp.

This made Qin Qi arch an eyebrow, secretly amused, "Looks like, the higher the cultivation, the less resistance women have to a man’s Yang Qi. Just by channeling a bit, Yan Shuiming’s already overwhelmed!"

"If the Yang Qi was transmitted by other means, would Yan Shuiming even be able to resist?"

With that thought, he began to realize something.

Though he didn’t yet know why Yan Shuiming needed his Yang Qi to assist in cultivation—

There was no doubt: ghost cultivators seemed to have an even greater need for Yang Qi.

Yan Shuiming’s willingness last time to dual cultivate with him was probably for his Yang Qi!

"Interesting..."

He curled his lips with a smile, a bold idea popping into his mind.

Honestly, last time the situation was critical, and Yan Shuiming’s cultivation was so high, he never even dared to have improper thoughts.

But looking closely now, Yan Shuiming was truly radiant and alluring. With such high cultivation, if he conquered her, he’d have solid support on the main battlefield!

And, in the future, when facing Xuan Yi Sect again, he’d have plenty more confidence for survival!
