ody with his divine sense, and Ye Bufan immediately found the problem.Gao Daqiang's powerful body had been tampered with. Several meridians in his lower abdomen had been blocked. This blockage wouldn'...Zhongli was taken aback, clearly a little surprised.

"The master is teasing me. It's impossible to encounter such a good opportunity so easily."

At first, Zhang He unexpectedly met Princess Ximen JiaYin from the Nine Brahma Immortal Palace. However, such a chance encounter was once in ten thousand years. He didn't believe he could have such good luck.

Ye Bufan didn't continue the topic, and smiled: "Zhong Lao, over all these years, have you ever had a woman you liked"

"This..."

Zhongli hesitated for a moment, before finally blushing and telling the truth.

When I was young, I was a bit of a playboy and frequented places of pleasure. But to be honest, there wasn't really a woman I truly liked.

Ye Bufan said, "What about the ruthlessness of Jueqing Valley Last time I saw it, I thought you were going to drool."

"Uh..."

Zhongli's face flushed even deeper, turning a bright crimson.

"That's a point, but that's absolutely impossible."

Ye Bufan's lips curled into a playful smirk.

"Why not"

Zhongli Mei sighed, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Need I say more She's the Great Elder of Absolute Desolation Valley, a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage. In terms of cultivation, I'm worlds apart from her. My status pales in comparison as well.

The most crucial point is that Jueqing Valley has always been indifferent to matters of gender, so this is simply impossible.

"Sighing again, Ye Bufan secretly chuckled in his heart. He didn't expect this old man to still be a romantic at heart, falling head over heels for her at first sight."

"Life is unpredictable, who can truly say what will happen next Miracles can happen at any moment."

Ye Bufan said, throwing a jade slip, "Study this carefully."

Zhongli Mei was slightly taken aback, not knowing what this thing was. After a scan with his divine sense, his expression changed.

"Master, this is a dual cultivation technique. I've been researching it, but I can't figure out what use it has"

Ye Bufan said, "Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say."

Yes!

Although he didn't understand what was going on, as Zhongli's servant, Mei still listened and obeyed. He began to study the dual cultivation technique.

Ye Bufan gave him a simplified version of the dual cultivation technique. It wasn't difficult to comprehend, and he quickly grasped the basics.

About ten minutes later, Zhongli Mei said, "Master, I've grasped it."

"Great, now follow me."

Yè Búfán finished speaking and directly left the Dragon King's Palace with him, reappearing in the cave.

Zhongli's face was a cloud of confusion, clueless as to what his master planned for him.

When he saw the person in the corner, his expression changed drastically as if struck by lightning.

Although Ji Ran's face was flushed like a peach blossom and her breathing was rapid, radiating an aura of primal instinct, almost unrecognizable, he still recognized her at once. He could also see that she had been drugged with chun medicine.

"Master, did you make this"

Zhongli was increasingly confused, unsure of what had happened.

"He was a person I saved, but he wasn't created by me."

Ye Bufan briefly summarized the events, and finally said, "She was poisoned by the Jilei Powder from the Ji Le Palace. This medicine is extremely powerful, even I can't do anything about it. I can only rely on the most primitive methods to detoxify."

"And that kind of thing is obviously not something I should do, so I brought you here."

"I... I..."

Zhongli immediately felt overwhelmed, his old face flushed as if it was about to bleed.

Since their last encounter, he had been thinking of her constantly, but it was merely a secret yearning in his heart. He had never dared to dream of the possibility of ever being close to her.

Although he had lived for centuries, he was now like a virgin experiencing things for the first time. He was excited, nervous, and bewildered, not knowing what to do.

Ye Bufan continued, "Use the dual cultivation technique I just sent you. It can not only help her detoxify but also be of great benefit to you. At the very least, it will allow you to break through to the early stage of Da Cheng. If you utilize it well, reaching the middle stage wouldn't be difficult either."

"This..." Zhongli muttered, nervously clenching his fists. "Master, I don't want to take advantage of the situation..."

"To take advantage of someone's misfortune You're here to treat illnesses and save lives, aren't you"

Ye Bufan said, "I've already pointed you in the right direction. Whether or not you do it is up to you. She has at most another half hour. If she doesn't get the antidote, she'll explode and die."

By the way, there's one more thing you need to know, she is currently mentally lost in a haze of the Blissful Scatter. Once she regains her sanity, the first thing she might do is kill you.

If you don't save her, she'll definitely die. But if you do save her, it might be you who dies instead. The choice is yours.

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the cave. Immediately afterward, a huge boulder fell from the sky and sealed the entrance shut.

Actually, the moment Ye Bufan left, Zhongli Mai had already made his decision. As the Great Elder of Shenjian Mountain Villa, he wasn't someone who clung to outdated traditions.

Just now, I was hesitating because I cared too much about the other person. There's no way out in front of me now, so there's nothing to hesitate about anymore. No matter what, I can't bear to see the person I like die right before my eyes.

As for what Ye Bufan just said, his completely recovered sanity might very well kill him. That point wasn't considered at all.

In the subconscious, the other party's life and death are far more important than one's own.

Zhongli took a measured step forward, reaching out to untie the acupoints on Jue Ran's body. But that was all he could do; the acupoints Yan Wu Hui had sealed were beyond his capabilities to undo.

Just regaining the ability to move, she let out a soul-stirring moan and reached out with both arms, holding him tightly and relentlessly demanding more.

Zhongli Mai shuddered all over, then steadied his mind. He recalled in his mind the dual cultivation technique Ye Bufan had given him.

Moments later, the true essence erupted, and the clothes on their bodies fluttered like butterflies. Then came the healing of the sick and saving of the people.

Ye Bufan arrived at the mouth of the cave and found another smooth stone to sit on, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Even without using divine sense, one could tell what happened inside the cave. Don't secretly chuckle in your heart, it seems even the elderly have their own kind of love.

He was now rather curious to know what kind of reaction a woman like Mie-die Shi, an old crone like that, would have once she had been possessed by a man.

Will he truly be as ruthless as legend says, killing Zhongli Mei with cold blood, or will he act like a woman and have his emotions get the best of him

The battle inside the cave was extremely intense. Even though it was his first time doing something like this, under the influence of the Blissful Powder, he was incredibly ferocious.

Fortunately, Zhongli's cultivation had already reached the peak of Dongxu. As a seasoned veteran, he was also able to control the situation.

After stabilizing the initial situation, he began to practice the dual cultivation technique taught by Ye Bufan. He used the pure yin power released with all his might to improve his cultivation level.

As Yan Wuhuai had guessed, a perfect body like Jue Ran's at the peak of Mahayana Buddhism contained an incredibly powerful and terrifying amount of pure yin energy. The benefits of obtaining it were unimaginable.

Slowly, the two of them entered a state of obliviousness. After what seemed like an eternity, a deafening roar echoed in Zhongli Mei's mind.

The true essence within him erupted with the might of a raging tsunami, instantly shattering the bottleneck of the Great Accomplishment peak.

And this is just a stage, afterwards an endless stream of pure yin power once again poured into his body.

Zhongli Mei knew this was a great opportunity for him, so he calmed his mind and continued to cultivate and break through.en need your eyes to see, I can just see everything with my bare eyes.Thinking this, he threw the bag in his hand.
