Chapter 291 Three people in the cave, taking care of two women
Xuan Yin didn't say much, and didn't even try to show off.
If it were in the past, given her personality, she would probably have gone to great lengths to achieve the best.
But ever since she witnessed Chen Yi almost risk his life to save Bu Er, the scales in her heart have completely tipped.
Sometimes, taking a step back and avoiding risks may not be a bad thing.
A slight smile played on her lips, and her aura surged.
boom!
The pitch-black demonic flames instantly surged up, weaving into a semi-transparent barrier above her head.
She took another step forward, her figure slender yet firmly positioned in the path of the fourth-tier high-grade lightning array.
"Enter."
The sound was short and abrupt.
Lightning bolts rained down, striking the black demonic flames and producing a sizzling sound that made your teeth ache.
This time, Chen Yi saw it clearly.
At the moment the demonic flames collided with the lightning, an unnatural flush swept across Xuan Yin's originally fair face, followed by a deathly pallor.
The protective demonic flames were no longer as condensed as they had been at their peak; they even showed slight signs of disintegration and reorganization under the lightning strike.
It was very difficult.
Chen Yi's gaze sharpened slightly.
The damage inflicted by the battle three years ago was far more severe than it appeared on the surface.
Even though they had given her some Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid before, it was only a drop in the ocean, barely enough to suppress her injuries.
Seeing Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er disappear into the safe zone, Xuan Yin stopped trying to save face.
She didn't even last the previous ten breaths before withdrawing the demonic flames. With a swift movement, she took advantage of the gaps in the lightning and quickly slipped inside.
It's always better to save some energy than to burn out completely.
Chen Yi glanced at Xuan Yin, who was following closely behind, and nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.
After standing still, Chen Yi did not immediately look at Lei Chi, but turned to face the two women.
"Auntie, you can rest and recover your spiritual energy in the back."
His gaze passed over Xuan Yin and landed on Ning Bu'er.
"I'll handle the splashing lightning liquid ahead. As for Fuji—"
Chen Yi paused, his gaze sweeping over Ning Bu'er as if assessing her current physical strength.
"Your lightning spirit body tempering has reached a high level. Although the aftershocks from this lightning pool are somewhat violent, they are a good opportunity to hone your skin membrane."
Remember, use the crystal array I taught you to connect it; don't try to connect too many.
"it is good."
Xuan Yin dispersed the remaining demonic energy around him, smiled and agreed, then found a relatively flat rock and sat down cross-legged.
"it is good."
Ning Bu'er agreed even more readily, her eyes fixed on Chen Yi, full of trust.
Looking at Chen Yi's tall and straight back, Xuan Yin's smile deepened.
This kid is definitely got the makings of something big.
He might not compete for those elusive, heaven-defying opportunities, but as long as a matter is entrusted to him, there will be absolutely no major trouble.
stable.
In the world of cultivation, this single word is more precious than any talent.
What's even more remarkable is that this guy has a very strong backbone when it comes to matters of principle, and he doesn't back down an inch.
Ning Bu'er's idea, however, was much simpler and purer.
Ever since that night when Chen Yi shielded her in his arms during the lightning tribulation, using his own flesh and blood to protect her from certain death, she and her heart have completely opened up to him.
Let alone just blocking a little bit of lightning, even if Chen Yi said there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, and he needed her to sacrifice herself so that he could survive, she probably wouldn't even flinch.
only----
Looking at Chen Yi's focused profile, Ning Bu'er felt a faint sense of resentment welling up in her heart.
This person is good in every way, except that he is too much of a "gentleman".
Although the two of them were already in love, he refused to actually cultivate with her.
They weren't even willing to actively seek out that dual cultivation technique.
Every time the topic comes up, he always looks serious, saying that the most urgent task is to help her regain her supernatural powers, and that he cannot let personal matters interfere with his official duties or distract himself from other things.
Hey.
Ning Bu'er sighed softly in his heart.
Those demonic flame patterns were the patterns that accompanied her nascent soul. Once they were erased, how easy would it be to reassemble them?
Looking across the entire Central Continent, there is no record of the original inheritance of the Nine Yin Demon Flame appearing anywhere else.
When will we finally see it?
After settling the two people behind him, Chen Yi had no more worries.
He turned around and walked alone towards the surging Thunder Pool ahead.
Inside his body, dozens of Thunder Crystal Marrow crystals, which had been ravenously thirsty, seemed to be sharks that had smelled fish, and emitted subtle tremors.
The energy that was once abundant inside had long been exhausted, and now it was empty and desperately waiting to be fed.
The second stage of Marrow Refinement is just one final step away from being activated by the energy infusion.
Furthermore, both the innate lightning talisman and the Purple Lightning Soul-Nourishing Technique deep within the soul yearn for the nourishment of high-quality lightning spirit essence.
It could be said that Chen Yi didn't even want to lift a finger to fight until he had fully replenished the Thunder Spirit Power within his body.
Click!
A blinding bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from above.
The massive lightning-attracting array roared into operation, countless intricate array patterns lit up, peeling away and compressing the raging lightning layer by layer.
In the blink of an eye, a golden droplet slowly condensed at the core of the formation.
That is the essence of thunder, the purest and most profound meaning of the thunder spirit.
At that very moment.
A pale golden halo swirled in Chen Yi's eyes.
Open your spiritual eye.
Perceiving supernatural powers, operating at full capacity.
The world changed instantly in his eyes.
It is no longer a simple interplay of light and color, but has transformed into countless flowing lines and leaping runes.
The seemingly natural process of golden droplets condensing was now broken down into a series of precise steps under the illumination of his divine soul.
Lines of obscure and incomprehensible lightning symbols swept across his retina like a waterfall, then were deeply imprinted on his soul.
If this were before he reached the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Yi would at most just watch the spectacle from the sidelines when faced with such a high-level Lightning-Drawing and True Essence-Condensing Array, knowing what it was but not why it was so.
Back then, looking at this formation was like looking at a beautiful woman through frosted glass—it was all blurry.
But now.
As his cultivation level increased and his soul underwent a transformation, that thin layer of paper was finally pierced.
He clearly "saw" how each array pattern trembled, how it guided the lightning to fall, how it filtered out impurities like a sieve, and finally locked away that bit of true meaning.
It turned out to be the case.
Distinguish the false from the true, and draw lightning to liquefy the liquid.
The secret lies in how it works.
Although he was still a long way from completely mastering and replicating such a grand formation, this did not diminish Chen Yi's excitement at the moment.
As long as you can understand it, even if you only understand the basics, you have a foundation.
If, by some stroke of luck, one were to come into contact with the core inheritance of this array, and combined with the system's ability to absorb and analyze—
I'll master this skill sooner or later!
Tick-tock—
The crisp sound of dripping echoed through the empty cave.
The drop of golden lightning essence finally broke free of the formation and crashed heavily into the lightning pool below.
boom!
The calm lake of thunder instantly exploded.
Several drops of silvery-purple lightning liquid were impacted and splashed out in all directions like locusts.
Chen Yi didn't even blink.
At this moment, divine sense and insightful spiritual eyes worked together perfectly.
Almost the instant the lightning liquid splashed, he had already calculated the trajectory, energy intensity, and impact point in his mind.
That level of strength isn't enough to break through the defense.
Swish!
A golden light flashed beneath Chen Yi's feet, and an illusory golden lotus flower bloomed and vanished in an instant.
Seven Star Spinning Step!
Within this narrow and cramped cave space, his figure left a ghostly afterimage, instantly circling the area.
Extend your right hand, palm facing up, fingers slightly bent.
Beneath the skin of his palm, dozens of tiny points of light could be faintly seen; these were miniature arrays formed by the arrangement of lightning crystal marrow.
Puff puff!
Several soft sounds followed.
The nearly ten drops of splashing lightning liquid, enough to instantly melt through metal and stone, landed steadily in his palm.
There was no explosion, no upheaval.
The array of lightning crystals in his palm suddenly shone brightly, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, instantly enveloping, decomposing, and devouring the lightning liquid.
In the blink of an eye, the violent lightning power transformed into pure energy and entered Chen Yi's body.
This time, there was no need to even use the system.
It had already completely absorbed it with its own lightning crystal array alone.
Chen Yi clenched his fist, feeling the slight tingling sensation in his palm, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
too slow.
This passive, wait-and-see approach to absorption is simply too inefficient for him now.
time does not wait.
His supernatural abilities and techniques after forming his Nascent Soul were still a blank slate, with Xuan Yin and Bu Er watching from behind.
Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to hide anything or try to maintain a long-term, sustainable relationship.
Chen Yi took a deep breath, no longer waiting for the slow "tick-tock" sound in the air.
He took a step forward and stood directly at the edge of the forbidden zone.
Looking at the pool of water before him, which had accumulated the essence of thunder for ten thousand years, a glint of light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.
He slowly extended his right hand, his three fingers joined together.
On the fingertips, the light of the Thunder Crystal Marrow was dazzling, as if wearing a crystal finger sheath.
Then, like a dragonfly skimming the water, it made a very quick tap on the surface of the Thunder Pool.
The moment they touch, the fingertips release and release force.
It's sizzling!
It was as if a ladle of cold water had been poured into boiling oil.
This Thunder Pool, which had been silent for ten thousand years and had never been touched by any living being, went completely berserk at this moment.
A wave of lightning liquid, as tall as half a person, surged up with a roar, following the force of Chen Yi's touch.
The violent lightning plasma, carrying a destructive aura, splashed towards Chen Yi head-on!
Faced with this thunder tide that would make even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators pale, Chen Yi not only did not retreat, but instead took half a step forward.
His gaze was deep and focused as he extended both hands simultaneously.
Both palms were instantly covered by the light of the Thunder Crystal Marrow, transforming into two hands of light.
Afterimages fluttered about.
His hands moved with incredible speed, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air, precisely meeting the splashing waves of lightning.
Receive, transform, guide, and absorb!
At this moment, it was as if he was not fighting against thunder, but playing a stirring melody.
All the lightning-infused waves vanished without a trace the moment they touched his hands, as if they had disappeared into the sea.
[Detected fourth-tier high-grade lightning spirit power, currently being absorbed]
In my mind, the system's cold notification sound rang out.
Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly, and his internal energy surged into operation. Combined with the system's domineering plundering, he began a gluttonous feast.
The violent silver lightning plasma burrowed wildly into his pores, causing his muscle fibers to tense and tear instantly, only to be forcibly mended by an even more domineering force in the next instant.
This level of lightning power is extremely destructive.
Chen Yi clenched his teeth, and veins bulged on his forehead.
This destructive aura was exactly the same as the ninth heavenly tribulation that descended from the sky on the day he underwent his Golden Core tribulation.
That time, he almost died.
But things are different now.
He was no longer the cultivator who could only withstand the might of heaven.
The defenses built up by the meridians in his body lit up layer by layer. As soon as the power of thunder spirit entered his body, Chen Yi deliberately divided and guided it.
On the system interface, data streams were flooding the screen.
break down.
Transformation.
absorb.
The violent lightning, powerful enough to shatter the physical bodies of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, was transformed into the purest nourishment under the suppression of the system's power.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and he retreated rapidly, his toes barely touching the ground.
As the distance between them increased, the changes within their bodies were dramatic.
The originally dry and depleted Thunder Crystal Marrow seemed to have been blessed with rain after a long drought, greedily devouring the transformed Thunder Spirit Power.
A faint, humming sound emanated from deep within the bones.
The nearly dried-up Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid began to regrow, one drop, two drops, quickly gathering into a stream.
That feeling of weakness and emptiness was replaced by a sense of fullness and power.
The withered energy foundation has come back to life.
"very good!"
Chen Yi's gaze was intense. He retreated to a safe area and sat down cross-legged.
As the technique was activated, faint arcs of electricity flickered around his body.
far away.
Xuan Yin Fairy and Ning Bu'er's beautiful eyes widened, their pupils reflecting the lightning swirling around Chen Yi.
The Mysterious Yin Fairy parted her red lips slightly and transmitted her voice secretly: "This kid can actually devour a lightning spirit of this strength? Just what level is his body refinement cultivation?"
"Perhaps."
Ning Bu'er nodded slightly. She actually knew that Chen Yi had been hiding his true abilities before, but now he was no longer concealing them and was focusing all his energy on body training. [It seems that he truly considers us one of his own.]
Ning looked at Chen Yi with an indescribable tenderness in her eyes.
Chen Yi was unaware of the two women's inner thoughts.
He just wants to make the most of his time.
There's still a lot to do.
With the crystal array operating at full power, the system operates at maximum efficiency.
Time flew by amidst the thunder.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
When Chen Yi opened his eyes again, it was as if two lightning bolts flashed deep within them.
The dozens of Thunder Crystal Marrows in his body were fully charged, emitting a dazzling blue-purple light.
The amount of Thunder Crystal Marrow Fluid reached an astonishing thousand strands, surging and roaring through the meridians, producing a thunderous sound like a great river.
call.
He exhaled a breath of foul air, which transformed into a white ribbon that struck the ground, sending pebbles flying.
Chen Yi stood up and turned to look at the corner of the wall.
There, Fairy Xuanyin was sitting cross-legged, meditating. Her face was still somewhat pale, clearly indicating that the previous exertion and the backlash from the demonic flames had not been completely eliminated.
Chen Yi strode over.
The sound of footsteps startled Fairy Xuanyin awake. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a tall shadow looming over her.
"Chen Yi, you—"
"Aunt Xuan Yin, give me your hand."
Chen Yi's voice was calm and unwavering.
Before Fairy Xuanyin could react, a warm and strong hand had already gripped her fair wrist.
"Let me replenish your strength first. The cultivation world is fraught with danger, so you need to hurry up and restore your combat power to prevent any more Fire True Lords or Earth True Lords from threatening us next time."
Before he finished speaking, the surging Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid within Chen Yi's body burst forth like water from a burst dam, flowing wildly into Xuan Yin Fairy's body through their skin.
"Hmm!"
Xuan Yin Fairy let out a muffled groan, her delicate brows instantly furrowing.
That's incredible.
This force was extremely domineering, rampaging through her meridians and bringing a burning, searing pain.
It felt as if countless tiny steel needles were traveling through my veins.
Xuan Yin Fairy gritted her teeth, and fine beads of fragrant sweat quickly seeped from her smooth forehead, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the back of Chen Yi's hand.
After the pain, there is an indescribable sense of fulfillment.
Thousands of strands of lightning crystal essence—what an enormous amount of energy that is!
Xuan Yin Fairy activated her cultivation technique to the fullest extent, accepting this gift.
As the Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquid was absorbed, the extremely yin and cold, persistently difficult-to-eradicate negative aura of demonic flame within her body began to be suppressed and dissolved little by little.
A moment later, Chen Yi released his grip.
Before Xuan Yin Fairy could even utter a single word, she entered a deep state of seclusion.
She wants to take this opportunity to first eliminate the hidden danger of the demonic flames, and then restore her peak combat power.
even----
If she could perfectly fuse these Thunder Crystal Marrow Liquids with the Demonic Flame, her cultivation might advance even further, allowing her to glimpse the scenery of the Nascent Soul Peak.
After settling Xuan Yin in, Chen Yi turned around.
His gaze fell on Ning Bu'er, who was standing to the side.
Ning Bu'er, dressed in a black, tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her breathtaking curves, was leaning against the stone wall, her gaze somewhat evasive yet filled with anticipation.
"Fuji, it's your turn."
Chen Yi stepped forward, his tone much gentler.
Ning Bu'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently.
This time, there's no need for the same openness as before.
Planting thunder crystals was something the two of them were already very familiar with.
Ning Bu'er's slender fingers rested on the collar and gently untied the outer shirt's ties, followed by the top two buttons of the inner shirt.
Her fair skin was faintly visible, and her delicate collarbone gleamed with a jade-like luster in the dim light.
"Same old rule, just bear with it."
Chen Yi reached out and slipped his fingertips inside his clothes.
Warm and slippery.
The texture is amazing.
But Chen Yi's eyes were clear, and his fingertips pressed precisely on a certain acupoint.
The lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant.
"Um----"
Ning Bu'er's delicate body trembled slightly, and a suppressed moan escaped from her throat.
pain.
That was the excruciating pain of thunderous power taking root and sprouting in flesh and blood.
But amidst the pain, there was also a tingling sensation as if an electric current was coursing through the nerve endings.
This feeling made her want to escape, yet also crave more.
Chen Yi's hands roamed under his clothes, from his collarbone to his shoulder, then to his softness, lower abdomen, and hips, touching both the inner and outer parts of his body.
Zi—
A lightning crystal core was planted in each acupoint.
This time, he spared no expense, raising the quality of each lightning crystal core to the limit of ninety-nine strands.
This was to force Ning Bu'er's physical cultivation to reach the peak of the third rank.
Only in this way can she withstand the impact of the subsequent injection of Thunder Crystal Marrow and obtain the ticket to the fourth-order body refinement.
Looking across the ancient cultivation world, only the Nascent Soul ancestors of those top clans would be willing to pay such a huge price to personally cleanse the marrow and bones of their descendants.
Chen Yi originally intended for Ning Bu'er to cultivate on her own.
But talent is a cruel and realistic thing.
Without his intervention, Ning Bu'er alone, in this perilous Thunder Spirit environment, would not have been able to condense high-level crystal marrow, let alone save his life.
Fingertips brushed against the delicate skin on the side of the waist.
Ning Bu'er's body stiffened abruptly, her pearly teeth biting her red lips so hard they almost bled.
This torment, a bittersweet experience, caused her eyes to well up with tears.
Wherever Chen Yi's palm passed, it left a series of lightning-like marks.
The sensation from the palm of my hand is firm, elastic, and soft.
That was a perfect body honed through years of physical training; every inch of muscle contained explosive power, yet it did not lose its feminine grace.
Chen Yi's mind was slightly stirred.
His breathing became heavier and heavier involuntarily.
The two were very close together.
Their breaths mingled.
Ning Bu'er raised his head, his usually heroic eyes now filled with an intense, unyielding longing.
She trembled in pain, but gently fell into Chen Yi's arms.
Chen Yi's fingers lingered on one spot for a longer period of time.
That clearly goes beyond the scope of treatment and seed implantation.
Ning Bu'er remained silent, simply pressing her cheek against Chen Yi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and savoring this moment of warmth and tenderness.
Chen Yi looked down at the beauty in his arms.
Exquisite face, tender eyes.
But reason told him that now was not the time.
Beside him, True Monarch Xuan Yin was in seclusion and could wake up at any moment.
Ning Bu'er's Nascent Soul Demon Flame Divine Power has not yet recovered, and his body is weak.
More importantly, there is no optimal dual cultivation technique between the two. If they are confused and infatuated at this moment, they will only waste this perfect foundation.
endure.
Both of them were holding back.
Their gazes collided in the air, sparks flying, but they had to be forcibly extinguished.
Chen Yi took a deep breath, forcibly calmed his mind, and quickened his movements to plant the last few lightning crystal cores.
When I pulled my hand away, the burning heat still lingered on my fingertips.
Watching Ning Bu'er straighten his clothes, his long, straight legs and round, perky buttocks were fully revealed under his tight-fitting outfit.
Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).
A top-tier Nascent Soul fairy, with a slender body that also cultivates the physical body, truly possesses the most beautiful female cultivator's physique in the world.
Exquisitely beautiful face, tender eyes, red lips and white teeth.
Long, straight, round, supple, with exquisite lines and perfect curves, it looks up obediently, ready for you to pick and take as you please.
Even the burning heat and desire emanating from beneath that skin could drive someone mad.
With Ning Bu'er's body, it can be said that all the women who have appeared in the world for the past five thousand years are not even one-tenth as good as her.
Chen Yi forcibly pulled himself out of the gentle embrace, then gently held and comforted Ning Bu'er until her instinctive desires subsided, leaving only the Thunder Spirit power to temper her body.
"Cultivation is the most important thing; we have a long future ahead of us."
Ning Bu'er nodded slightly, the lust in her eyes receding and replaced by an unprecedented determination. So what if the demonic flame was gone? Chen Yi had taken such good care of her. If she still couldn't achieve something in her training, it would be a disservice to her extraordinary body.

"Hmm~"
