Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1087  Fiery Yang Cavern

"So, what are you going to do now, Su Yang?" Xu Xuan asked him as he prepared to leave.

Su Yang popped an appearance-altering pill inside his mouth, returning to being Xiao Yang, and said, "I'm going to return to the Boundless Yin Yang Sect and work my way into their Eternal Yin Yang Cave."

"The Eternal Yin Yang Cave, huh? So your goal is Celestial Yang Qi. I guess things are different now that you can cultivate Celestial Qi."

"Huh? You knew?" Su Yang looked at her with a slightly surprised face.

"I can taste it in your Yang Qi, albeit very little—almost nonexistent. How did you manage to do that when even your old body couldn't achieve such a thing?"

"I think it has something to do with my cultivation technique."

"You changed it? Don't people normally go for something they're already used to?" "Yes, but this one is simply too good. I'm sure you've heard of it before. It's called the Celestial Body Refining Scripture."

"What! That's the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation technique!" Xu Xuan cried out loud, her face filled with shock.

Su Yang smiled at her normal reaction and said, "With this technique, I'll not only be able to surpass my previous limit, but I can finally aim for the true peak of cultivation—Celestial God!"

"Good luck with that. Not even the Heavenly Emperor could reach that level."

Su Yang chuckled and said, "And does the Heavenly Emperor have the Celestial Constitution?"

"You're going to build another Celestial Constitution? Do you remember how much chaos that caused in the past?" Xu Xuan rubbed her eyes.

Su Yang had incited chaos and offended countless people in his past efforts to acquire his Celestial Constitution. Xu Xuan found it hard to imagine witnessing such turmoil unfold once again.

"However… if you're able to acquire the Celestial Constitution… even I cannot imagine how far you'll go."

"Unfortunately, I still have a lot of things to do before I focus on that." Su Yang sighed.

Sometime later, Su Yang and Xu Xuan kissed each other one last time before Xu Xuan sent him back to the front of the hotel, where she initially kidnapped him. 'I'll be seeing you again soon, Su Yang…' Xu Xuan's voice resounded inside his head.

While Su Yang returned to the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, Xu Xuan returned to the Autumn Phantom Manor.

"What took you so long to return, Elder Sister?"

"You said you'd only be gone for a month at most…"

"Did you find that rude mortal? Did you teach him a lesson?"

"What about the Phantom Cat, Xiao Rong? Did you convince her to join us?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Bombarded by questions, Xu Xuan shouted, "Shut up for a moment!"

Once the place was dead silent, Xu Xuan spoke, "From now on, you'll respect that person as if he's your father."

"What?! That mortal?!"

"No way! Did he do something weird to you, Elder Sister?!"

The Ghost Cats were in disbelief.

"..."

Even if she would entrust her own life in their hands, Xu Xuan didn't dare to expose Su Yang's identity to them just yet, fearing that one of them might accidentally reveal his identity since they are still young and inexperienced.

"Enough! I will not allow anyone to badmouth him, even if it's you girls! You may not know this, but he saved my life before. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here right now!" Xu Xuan said to them in a stern voice.

"As for Xiao Rong, she's in good hands, so you don't need to worry about her."

The little ones were speechless. They couldn't fathom how a mortal could save Xu Xuan's life, but there was no reason for Xu Xuan to lie to them.

"Since he saved your life, I guess we can give him some face and show some respect the next time he visits…"

"Is that why you gave him the family medallion?"

"It makes sense now…"

"Elder Sister, are you going to leave again soon?"

Xu Xuan shook her head and said, "No, I no longer need to leave since I have already resolved my business outside. I will return to managing the Autumn Phantom Manor with the rest of you."

"Really? That is great!"

The little ones were ecstatic to hear this news.

Meanwhile, after he returned to the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, Su Yang reported his missions.

"This is the fifth high-priority mission you've completed in a row. Just how do you do it…?" The Sect Elder was left speechless by Su Yang's achievements, something that even Core Disciples would have difficulty accomplishing.

"I just got lucky." Su Yang smiled.

"Whatever. Here are your rewards."

The Sect Elder handed Su Yang some points and spirit stones for his work.

Su Yang returned to his living quarters afterward.

'I still have two days before I enter the Fiery Yang Cavern. Let's use this time to prepare myself.'

Su Yang looked at his spatial ring, which contained the Primordial Phoenix Heart and the Incandescent Dragon's Essence. Although he told Xu Xuan that he wouldn't use them anytime soon, it wasn't entirely true.

"Welcome back, Manager!" Mei Xing greeted him at the door with a bright smile on her face.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough." Su Yang smiled back.

"Thank you!"

"Manager, welcome back." Mei Ying came out after their voices.

"You also had a breakthrough. Congratulations."

"This is all thanks to the Yang Qi you left behind." Mei Ying smiled.

"Anyway, I have some business within the sect in two days, so I'll be leaving again soon. I won't be gone for long this time, though. You guys can return to your cultivation."

"Okay."

Su Yang took out the Primordial Phoenix Heart and examined it intently for several moments. Once prepared, he carefully sliced off a tiny piece, no larger than a grain of sand. Then, he retrieved his cauldron and proceeded to refine a pill with it.

"This should be good enough." He nodded with a satisfied look on his face after examining the pill.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chun Hua showed up at his house early in the morning.
