Chapter 9

If it were half a day ago, Liu Yutong might really have crossed the bridge after crossing the river, first tricking him into giving her the cultivation technique and then compensating Ling Han with some material goods. After all, why should Ling Han, who disregarded her noble status as a wealthy family's daughter, insist on taking her as a follower?

But now she was hesitant. Her sense of propriety as a woman made her want to leave Ling Han, but thinking about his endless wonders, she wanted to stay by his side to see where his limits were.

"Maybe, maybe not, who can say for sure?" she gave an ambiguous answer.

Ling Han laughed heartily. If Liu Yutong had sworn loyalty to him with solemn vows, he wouldn't have believed her. However, as a mighty Celestial Realm expert and the emperor of alchemy, could he not subdue such a little girl?

"Take off your clothes," he said casually.

Liu Yutong immediately showed a look of anger. Was Ling Han going to force her to submit by using the cultivation technique as leverage? Although she didn't want to die and wanted to cure her illness, if it meant trading her body, she would rather die!

"Don't misunderstand!" Ling Han smiled, "I just need to guide the flow of your primordial energy. This technique involves many extraordinary meridians, which can't be explained clearly with words. You should know that in the operation of cultivation techniques, a small mistake can lead to a huge difference, and there must be no error at all."

Liu Yutong was taken aback. What Ling Han said was true. There were countless meridians in the human body, and even a slight difference in the flow of primordial energy could result in vastly different outcomes.

The problem was, she was an unmarried young lady. Could she strip naked and let a man touch her all over with his fingers?

She thought for a long time and proposed a compromise—she would keep her undergarments on, and Ling Han would use chopsticks instead of his fingers to guide the flow of her primordial energy.

"Go out first!" Liu Yutong pointed to the outer room.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is my room!" Ling Han laughed but still got up and went outside, showing some gentlemanly manners.

After a long while, Liu Yutong said, "You can come in now."

Ling Han walked into the room and saw Liu Yutong sitting on the bed, her delicate body wrapped in a sheet, her hair flowing like a waterfall, exuding a thousand charms.

What a captivating beauty, Ling Han thought to himself. Even with his picky standards from his previous life, he couldn't help but admit the charm of this ice queen, which made his heart flutter.

Her snow-white teeth lightly bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes flickering with a mix of resentment and sorrow. Liu Yutong slowly removed the sheet, revealing her jade-like body.

She wore only a bodice on her upper body, her white and tender skin like fine jade, emitting a captivating luster. Her lower body was clad in a pair of underpants, but the legs had been torn off, revealing her long, straight legs, perfectly proportioned, making one's heart race.

Seeing Ling Han's gaze, she couldn't help but feel shy, her jade-like face blushing, adding a touch of beauty.

Oh, she was an ice queen, but now with a rosy blush, she exuded a thousand charms, making even Ling Han, with his Celestial Realm temperament from his previous life, feel a strong urge to possess this enchanting little demon.

But he quickly composed himself and said, "Sit cross-legged, I will teach you the first level of the Three Yin Profound Technique."

He recited the technique word by word. At first, Liu Yutong couldn't focus, being nearly naked in the same room with a man, but her martial heart soon took over, and she listened to Ling Han's instructions, memorizing them.

Ling Han spoke quickly, and Liu Yutong displayed astonishing talent, almost remembering everything she heard. After just two recitations, Liu Yutong had memorized the nearly thousand-word technique.

This was just the first step. Next, the flow of primordial energy was the key.

Ling Han used chopsticks to guide the flow of Liu Yutong's primordial energy, gently tracing her body. After just three rounds, Liu Yutong could already circulate her primordial energy according to the new technique, living up to her reputation as a genius.

Ling Han quickly left the room. The charm of this little demon was too great, and he seemed to have overestimated his own willpower. If he stayed any longer, he might have succumbed to the temptation and taken her.

Since Liu Yutong had started cultivating, she wouldn't wake up for a while. Ling Han sat down in the outer room and began to cultivate as well.

However, he wasn't practicing the Five Elements Heaven Extreme Technique, but the Indestructible Heaven Scripture.

Because his spirit root hadn't been repaired, he didn't want to take any risks. If his spirit root were further damaged, it wouldn't be cured by the Primordial Heart Restoring Powder.

The Indestructible Heaven Scripture, like a bottomless pit, rapidly consumed the already limited primordial energy in his body, refining his muscles, meridians, and bones, pushing him towards greater strength.

If cultivated to the extreme, the body would become indestructible, and even a large star colliding with him would shatter, leaving him unharmed.

Of course, he was still far, far away from that level.

After just five minutes, his primordial energy was completely depleted. He then took a "Primordial Energy Restoring Pill" to quickly replenish his primordial energy and continued to cultivate.

Medicine has its side effects. At first, the Primordial Energy Restoring Pill was highly effective, but as he took more and more, his body developed a strong resistance, making the pill's effects increasingly weaker. By the time he took the last pill, it only restored less than one-tenth of his primordial energy.

Ling Han stopped. That was enough for today. Continuing to cultivate wouldn't yield any more results.

But his progress was evident.

His muscles, meridians, and bones had become stronger. By his estimation, this level of strength was comparable to the third level of body refinement.

Truly worthy of the name "Heaven Scripture," amazing!

In his previous life, Ling Han had practiced several restorative techniques, such as the "Golden Body Technique" and the "Rock Solid Technique," which made the body stronger, but their effects were like heaven and earth compared to the Indestructible Heaven Scripture.

This was normal. If the Indestructible Heaven Scripture weren't so powerful, how could it take a Celestial Realm expert tens of thousands of years to comprehend, and that was just the first level!

"However, practicing this Heaven Scripture consumes a lot of primordial energy and requires a large amount of rare materials to refine the body, which will inevitably slow down my cultivation progress! But the power of this Heaven Scripture is too great, even if my cultivation progresses more slowly, it's worth it, since I have a divine spirit root."

"I won't think about the highest realm of indestructibility for now. The first level of the Indestructible Heaven Scripture is divided into four stages: the Withered Wood Stage, the Stone Rock Stage, the Iron Skin Stage, and the Vajra Stage."

"Reaching the Withered Wood Stage, the body becomes like withered wood, and any blow will feel like hitting withered wood, which can be damaged but not the vitality. The body can also appear lifeless like withered wood, making it impossible for anyone to tell it's a living person. Reaching the Vajra Stage, no matter how severe the injury, it can be instantly healed with a single thought, and even severed limbs can regrow, almost like a divine technique."

Hmm?

Ling Han turned to look at the door to the inner room. The curtain moved, and a fairy-like figure emerged, her face tinged with a light blush, beautiful and alluring.

"Have you mastered the first level of the Three Yin Profound Technique?" Ling Han asked, somewhat surprised.

"Um!" Liu Yutong nodded, not daring to meet Ling Han's gaze, a strange emotion stirring in her heart, as if a new and unprecedented feeling was growing.

What a genius this girl is! Ling Han thought to himself.
