Yun Ying went out and happened to meet Meng Ruoqi, who was arriving.
Meng Ruoqi had naturally moved into Small Bamboo Island along with Ning Fa.
Although Yun Jian had reluctantly accepted the fact that his sister and Ning Fa were dual cultivating after Yun Ying's persuasion, he still found it difficult to let go.
He had moved away from Small Bamboo Island to a nearby island a long time ago, prioritizing a clean break from the situation.
So now, only Ning Fa, Yun Ying, and Meng Ruoqi lived on Small Bamboo Island.
The two women had, of course, become familiar with each other long ago.
Meng Ruoqi took a careful look at Yun Ying. Seeing the blush that had yet to fade from Yun Ying's pretty face, she knew exactly what they had just been doing.
She calmly greeted her, "Little Yun."
"Fellow Daoist Meng." Yun Ying couldn't look at her and replied before hurrying away.
From their forms of address, one could roughly gauge their respective positions.
Meng Ruoqi had already accepted her role as Ning Fa's Dao Companion and had accepted Yun Ying.
But Yun Ying had not, as her current relationship with Ning Fa was still just a transaction.
Meng Ruoqi walked into the room. Ning Fa was still only wearing shorts, his upper body bare.
A blush spread across Meng Ruoqi's pretty face.
She said softly, "I remember you saying you were dedicated to arduous cultivation. I didn't expect you to already have someone hidden away."
Ning Fa, with his thick skin, secretly thought it was fortunate that Liu Qinghui had already left.
He chuckled, "Ruoqi, you also know I practice body cultivation techniques. My blood and qi are vigorous, and if I can't regulate them regularly, it's detrimental to my cultivation."
He didn't go into detail about the specific situation of Yun Ying and her brother.
Meng Ruoqi's eyes still held a hint of lingering resentment.
Ning Fa understood.
He hadn't touched her during this period.
Clearly, this had made Meng Ruoqi feel uneasy.
Ning Fa said seriously, "Don't overthink it. It's precisely because you have that Pure Spirit Mind Spiritual Qi within you that I cannot take your virginity lightly. I want to wait until I reach a bottleneck in my cultivation before we dual cultivate."
Meng Ruoqi glanced at him shyly, her expression softening considerably.
Ning Fa then thought of something and continued, "Oh, right. The family is planning to open a lecture hall for formations. We hope you can be the main lecturer. There will be one class every three days, and the family will provide you with generous contribution points as compensation. What do you think?"
Meng Ruoqi happily nodded. She also said in a low voice, "Brother Ning, among our Meng family members, there is a disciple with good pill refining talent. Can you let him join the Ning Family Pill Hall?"
Ning Fa nodded, "It's a small matter, I'll put in a word."
Meng Ruoqi smiled charmingly, her radiance renewed.
Ning Fa stared, then looked up again.
Seeing Ning Fa's reaction, Meng Ruoqi's pretty face was covered in a blush.
She bit her lip lightly and said softly, "Do you want me to help you?"
Ning Fa was feeling a bit restless. Just then, his expression shifted.
He reached out, and a jade talisman flew into his hand.
After seeing the writing on it, a hint of surprise appeared in Ning Fa's eyes.
He said, "The First Elder wants to see me, I have to go."
Ning Fa left, and Meng Ruoqi's tense body immediately relaxed.
However, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Inside the stone hall at the summit of Changning Mountain.
After Ning Zhongyuan finished speaking, Ning Fa was greatly shocked.
He said incredulously, "No way! You want me to dual cultivate with that witch!?"
Ning Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Little Fa, you don't need to rush to refuse. In reality, Hua Rong is still a virgin. Due to her cultivation technique, her previous dual cultivations were actually fake dual cultivations. Moreover, using the Yi Yuan He Huan Jue will also be very beneficial to your body cultivation realm."
Ning Fa's expression shifted between pleased and displeased for a while.
The main reason was that he had just been reborn, and the pressure of dual cultivating with Ning Huarong had left him with significant psychological trauma.
It made him instinctively reject the idea.
After a long time, Ning Fa finally nodded, "Alright, for the sake of the family, I'll sacrifice myself. When will it be?"
Ning Zhongyuan chuckled happily, "The sooner the better. Let's do it tonight."
"Okay..." Ning Fa managed to utter the word after a long pause.
That night.
In a secret chamber on Changning Mountain.
Ning Fa and Ning Huarong, who he hadn't seen in a long time, met each other's gaze.
Ning Fa felt a sense of destiny, realizing he hadn't escaped the fate of Dual Cultivation with this woman after all.
On Ning Huarong's delicate and jade-like face, a pair of beautiful eyes, like cold stars, stared intently at Ning Fa.
Her gaze was as haughty and arrogant as ever, looking down on everyone.
"Aren't you going to take off your clothes?"
Ning Huarong sneered with a smile.
The woman's condescending attitude angered Ning Fa. With a flash, he lunged towards Ning Huarong, but he missed.
After all, Ning Huarong's agility and elusiveness were no less than his own.
Ning Fa's attitude instead made Ning Huarong's eyes light up. She laughed heartily, "This is more like it. I've wanted to have a good fight with you for a long time, but those old guys kept stopping me. Let's have a great battle today."
Immediately, silver and purple spiritual light flashed non-stop in the room as the two clashed, neither giving way.
At some point, their clothes were all removed.
The two became completely entangled.
Ning Huarong frowned, letting out a muffled groan.
Then, she said with displeasure, "I want to be on top!"
With that, she flipped over and took the initiative.
Ning Fa was naturally unwilling, and not long after, he flipped back to the top.
The atmosphere in the room became intimate.
After a full day and night.
Ning Fa walked out of the room, holding his waist.
Even with his current strong physique, his legs felt a bit shaky, and the area around his eyes was even faintly tinged with blue.
This woman's combat power was truly too formidable; even he almost couldn't handle it.
Although the process was extremely exhilarating, it also left him with lingering fear.
However, sensing the much more robust vital energy and blood power within him than ever before, a smile reappeared on his lips.
Although this time was arduous, the rewards far exceeded his expectations.
After absorbing Ning Huarong's Taihua Yang Qi, his body cultivation realm had unexpectedly improved significantly because of it.
He had directly reached the threshold of breaking through to the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation, and even surpassed it by quite a bit.
His pháp cultivation realm had already reached this level, and he could now prepare to break through to the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation.
Once he broke through, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
At the same time, he had a faint feeling that Ning Huarong did not seem to have any damage to her foundation.
This made Ning Fa start to speculate.
Ning Fa had a premonition that once Ning Huarong successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the Ning Family would likely make some major moves.
Three months later.
Ning Fa broke through to the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation.
Although it wasn't as difficult as breaking through to the Seventh Level of Qi Condensation, it wasn't exactly easy either.
He had thought of Dual Cultivation with Meng Ruoqi more than once, wanting to use her Pure Spirit Mind Spiritual Qi to break through his realm.
In the end, he held back, deciding it would be better to save it for when he broke through to Foundation Establishment, or even the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation.
Although he hadn't Dual Cultivated with her, Meng Ruoqi had still allowed Ning Fa to enjoy the tenderness of Thousand Wave Lake's Number One Beauty through other means.
During this period, Ning Fa could basically refine a Jinlu Pill with one Dao Mark with a probability close to fifty percent.
With the effect of the scroll, it was equivalent to being able to refine one Dao Patterned Pill from one Spiritual Material with certainty.
He had refined two more such pills in total.
He gave one to Yun Jian, and the other to Ning Yuwen.
This type of pill indeed had an effect.
Based on their reactions, Ning Fa guessed that taking just two or three more pills would likely fully restore them.
