To serve in bed...
Wen Zhixing was stunned.
He had never expected Si Nanyan was actually seeking him out for this.
She really didn't see him as a person at all.
"Palace Master, I..."
Wen Zhixing opened his mouth, wanting to explain that his body had not fully recovered and he needed to wait a while longer.
But given his current condition, it seemed a bit of a stretch to say he hadn't recovered...
He was panic-stricken.
He had already been sucked dry alive last time. What about this time?
Although he had "Revival of the Withered Tree" with him, the prerequisite for triggering "Revival of the Withered Tree" was not dying.
Si Nanyan appeared incredibly enchanting before him, but all he felt was immense pressure.
"Hmm?"
Si Nanyan's brows knitted slightly, and she sat up halfway, her garments slipping again, half-revealing her fragrant shoulders. "What about you?"
"I... I haven't bathed... I'm dirty..."
Wen Zhixing stammered.
At this moment, Si Nanyan's usually cold expression faltered, as if she actually believed him...
There was a moment of silence.
Forget it...
A slight smile touched the corners of Si Nanyan's rosy lips as she said indifferently, "I can't wait. Come here!"
Not allowing Wen Zhixing to refuse, a slender white hand reached out and stroked his waist.
With a swift tug, his belt was deftly undone...
This is bad...
Wen Zhixing's breathing halted abruptly, and his whole body trembled.
Before he could react, his body was lifted into the air and thrown onto the soft couch.
He howled inwardly. He always knew this day would come, he just didn't expect it to come so soon.
A meaningful smile flashed in Si Nanyan's eyes.
With a flick of her slender white hand, a fragrant breeze stirred in the room.
The candlelight suddenly went out, plunging the room into darkness.
Yes, Wen Zhixing was being drained of his essence again.
He lay on the bed, clearly feeling the essence energy being drawn from his body.
That sense of weakness surged up in him once more.
Wen Zhixing took a deep breath. Looking up, he saw Si Nanyan, covered in sweat and looking more alluring than ever.
Her thin lingerie, drenched in sweat, clung to her skin, faintly visible and utterly tempting.
"[You have encountered an Extreme Yin Body. Integrating Yin and Yang creates Tai Chi. By practicing the Tai Chi health-preserving skill, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort.]"
Just then, a transparent prompt box appeared before your eyes.
Extreme Yin Body... Si Nanyan is an Extreme Yin Body!
A flicker of surprise went through Wen Zhixing's mind.
The Extreme Yin Body was an exceedingly rare physique.
People with this special physique were often cultivation geniuses.
Wen Zhixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't sure if he was lucky or unlucky.
Normally, the integrated cultivation of a Pure Yang Body and an Extreme Yin Body would yield excellent results.
Unfortunately, he was currently the one being drained of his essence.
His only consolation was that he could use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Tai Chi health-preserving skill.
An unknown amount of time passed as Wen Zhixing delved into the cultivation skill in his mind.
As a novice in cultivation, everything was baffling to him.
Even the simplest Tai Chi health-preserving skill was no exception.
The skill was easy to practice, but truly understanding it was difficult.
Just as he was feeling somewhat lost, he felt a surge of Extreme Yin energy enter his body.
This is the Extreme Yin energy from Si Nanyan's body...
Wen Zhixing had a sudden realization.
With the entry of this strand of Extreme Yin energy, he felt his body grow increasingly hot.
The Yang Qi within him began to meld with this Extreme Yin energy.
Before long—
BOOM!
Yin and Yang intermingled, forming an intangible Tai Chi yin-yang fish.
"[The merging of Yin and Yang is Chaos; their coexistence forms the Two Principles; their mutual generation creates Tai Chi.]"
I understand now!
Wen Zhixing opened his eyes, a surprising sense of comfort spreading through his body.
Even though his body was in agony from having its essence extracted, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
He had gained some enlightenment.
When Yin and Yang conjoin, achieving the ascent of clarity and the descent of turbidity, one can consolidate the foundation, restore vitality, and nourish the body—this was the power of Tai Chi.
How could he not rejoice at his first insight into cultivation methods?
At this moment, Si Nanyan, who had been feigning inebriation, also slowly opened her slightly dazed eyes.
She gradually lowered her head, her gaze filled with delight.
Indeed, a Pure Yang Body...
Si Nanyan's eyes were captivating, a sharp gleam surfacing within them.
Last time, she had only been suspicious.
After all, a Pure Yang Body was not so easily discerned.
Only upon reaching the Qi Movement Realm, when the Pure Yang Body condensed Pure Yang Qi, could it be truly confirmed.
Therefore, this time, she had used her own Extreme Yin energy to test him, and it was just as she had expected.
Heaven is truly helping me!
The corners of Si Nanyan's mouth lifted slightly, an unprecedented sense of contentment welling up in her heart.
She possessed an Extreme Yin Body, and now she had obtained a Pure Yang Body to serve as a supreme cultivation furnace. This was like giving wings to a tiger.
From now on, her cultivation path would be smooth sailing!
It seems I should thank that old coot Liu Qingxuan. If he hadn't plotted against me, I wouldn't have encountered such a supreme cultivation furnace!
Si Nanyan was in high spirits.
She even became much more careful in her actions of absorbing his essence.
She, too, was afraid of draining Wen Zhixing to death.
My precious treasure... it seems I've found an opportunity for a breakthrough...
Si Nanyan murmured, her fondness for Wen Zhixing growing the more she looked at him.
Of course, Wen Zhixing would know none of this.
He was immersed in his own world of cultivation.
「The third day...」
「The fourth day, at noon.」
The harsh sunlight shone on his face, and Wen Zhixing slowly came to his senses.
He felt utterly drained, lying alone on the soft couch, with no one beside him.
Memories of the past few days flooded back to him.
Then, just like before, a vigorous vitality surged within his body once more.
Compared to the first time, this vitality was clearly more robust.
Blood surged throughout his body, setting the Tai Chi health-preserving skill into motion. Even his depleted primordial yang began to condense and reform.
Wen Zhixing's condition was recovering at an extremely rapid pace.
This recovery speed is at least twice as fast as before!
Wen Zhixing's eyes were filled with disbelief.
The recovery speed was too fast!
So fast that he could hardly believe it.
At this rate, he estimated it would take only about half a month for him to return to his peak condition.
"[Revival of the Withered Tree triggered.]"
"[Your body has undergone a new transformation.]"
"[Your body begins its second nirvana.]"
"[Your Body Recovery Speed has doubled once again.]"
"[Begin the tempering of your muscles. Once completed, your strength will rival that of a wild ox.]"
