Chapter 1034: Yuan Ying Nine Layers

After leaving Chicheng Mountain, Chen Mobai went to the Natural Academy.

Recently, his relationship with Yan Bingxuan had grown even stronger, and whenever they had free time, they wished they could stick together day and night.

After another session of intimate affection, Yan Bingxuan lay in Chen Mobai's arms, panting as she asked, "Why are you so late today?"

"I was delayed a bit by a trip to the Martial Arts Academy," Chen Mobai replied. "You know our lineage received four Infant Core Spirit Elixirs this time. As the head of the lineage, I naturally hope that after me, the academy can produce one or two more Nascent Soul cultivators. So, I organized and packaged the resources I've accumulated from my daily cultivation, hoping they can help them..."

Listening to Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan's face was full of envy.

"For the Martial Arts Academy to have gained a genius like you, it must be the result of thousands of years of accumulated luck," she sighed. "It's just a pity that Teacher, for the sake of assured admission, chose the Natural Academy a year earlier..."

Yan Qiongzhi possessed an Innate Ice Spirit Root, considered a top-tier talent in the Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, gaining admission to one of the Four Great Dao Academies required passing both the college entrance examination and their entrance tests. Furthermore, the educational conditions in Danxia City had always been weak, so she lacked confidence in outperforming all the other students of her generation in the Immortal Sect. Therefore, when the Natural Academy confirmed her guaranteed admission and offered a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures, she chose to seize the opportunity in her second year of high school.

Looking back then and now, her choice was not wrong. This was because after showing exceptional talent at the Natural Academy, she could further study at the Kunpeng Dao Academy, and even advance to cultivate in the sea domain. After all, no one could have predicted that the Martial Arts Academy would produce such an astonishing and peerless figure as Chen Mobai. Moreover, even if Yan Qiongzhi's Ice Spirit Root were to lead her to a Dao Academy, she would have chosen one of the other three, never the Martial Arts Academy, which was renowned as the top institution for fire-based cultivation.

"Besides theirs, I've also prepared a set of Nascent Soul-forming resources for you." Chen Mobai, with one hand enjoying the immense softness, gently reached into his spatial domain with the other, taking out a pre-prepared box and placing it before Yan Bingxuan.

"I'm only at the fifth layer of Golden Core," Yan Bingxuan said, "If I were to use these resources, it would be at least a century from now; it's too wasteful to give them to me." She didn't understand Chen Mobai's hidden meaning at first and shook her head in refusal.

"Since these items were prepared for you, just accept them. If you don't need them right now, you can give them to close ones who might."

As Chen Mobai said this, Yan Bingxuan immediately widened her lips and rose, her face full of shock. The dramatically shifting curves instantly captured all of Chen Mobai's attention, but at that moment, Yan Bingxuan's eyes were sparkling, gazing in disbelief at the box floating before her, completely oblivious to how alluring her current state was.

"Is this... for Teacher?" Yan Bingxuan still hesitated. Although Chen Mobai hadn't specified what kind of Nascent Soul-forming resource package he had prepared, anything that could aid in forming a Nascent Soul in the Immortal Sect was undoubtedly precious. The last time Chen Mobai arranged for Yan Qiongzhi to receive a Nascent Soul Cultivation Pill, Yan Bingxuan already felt unworthy of such a gift. If there were more, she felt she would never be able to repay him in this lifetime.

"Open it and see," Chen Mobai said with a smile, rising from the bed and naturally embracing her slender, snow-white waist. Yan Bingxuan was also very curious, wondering what else in the Immortal Sect, besides the Three Nascent Soul Spirit Elixirs, could aid in forming a Nascent Soul. Encouraged by Chen Mobai, she opened the box floating before her. The first thing that met her eyes was a gleaming white spirit stone, causing her pupils to constrict in astonishment.

"This... this is... a supreme-grade spirit stone!?" Yan Bingxuan could hardly believe it. Her Xuanshuang Company, under Wang Xinying's arrangement, had previously obtained the project to degrade innate turbid Yin energy into Earth Fiend energy. Along with the contract, they had also received a high-grade spirit stone from the client. That, too, had been provided by Chen Mobai. She had repeatedly infused spiritual energy into that high-grade spirit stone for hundreds of experiments, making her intimately familiar with the amount of spiritual energy it could store. So, when she reached into the box, touched the spirit stone, and felt the vast amount of spiritual energy it contained—hundreds of times more than a high-grade spirit stone—her breath nearly stopped. She had never imagined that in this lifetime, she would witness and personally experience the legendary supreme-grade spirit stone under such circumstances.

"In the Immortal Sect, there are no fifth-tier ice spirit veins," Chen Mobai explained. "So, if an Ice Spirit Root cultivator forms a Nascent Soul using a fifth-tier water vein, they still need to transform the spiritual energy. While setting up formations can solve this problem, directly drawing spiritual energy from a supreme-grade spirit stone is even better..." He added that if Yan Qiongzhi were to form a Nascent Soul, she would likely still choose to borrow the spiritual vein of the Jumang Dao Academy. The Kunpeng Dao Academy's spiritual veins were balanced, and while there were nearly sixth-tier grand sea spiritual veins in the sea domain, Yan Qiongzhi, as an outsider, definitely wouldn't be able to borrow them. Therefore, this supreme-grade spirit stone would be of greater use to her than to the others at the Martial Arts Academy.

"On behalf of Teacher, I thank you," Yan Bingxuan said. After listening to Chen Mobai, she knew she couldn't refuse this supreme-grade spirit stone; it could at least increase Yan Qiongzhi's chance of forming a Nascent Soul by half a percent.

"Between you and me, there's no need for thanks," Chen Mobai said with a smile, feeling the increasingly smooth and soft body of the beautiful woman in his arms. He then pursed his lips, pointing to the other two sealed spiritual tubes. "The one on the left is Pure Yang Purple Qi, and the one on the right is Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Essence Qi. I'll teach you the refining method later." As for why not now, it was because his hands were occupied; he was a little busy.

Yan Bingxuan had originally thought the supreme-grade spirit stone was the most precious, but to her surprise, the other two items were no less valuable. "Even for you, as the Hall Master of Righteous Law, collecting and refining these things would be incredibly difficult. I'm already so grateful that Teacher received the Nascent Soul-forming elixir that I feel I can never repay you in this lifetime..."

Yan Bingxuan's last shred of inner resistance made her feel that she couldn't accept so many valuable items for free. It was important to know that for Ice Spirit Root cultivators, the greatest fear during Nascent Soul formation was excessive cold qi. Although their divine sense and physique had been tempered by ice spiritual power over many years, breaking through a major realm in the Immortal Sect's foundation meant at least a tenfold increase in power. Under such circumstances, even they could experience their essence, qi, and spirit stiffening or even freezing due to the cold. With Pure Yang Purple Qi, however, one could protect their Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. As long as their divine sense could still operate, the probability of passing this stage would greatly increase. If one's talent and fortune were outstanding enough, it could even lead to the realm of Yin producing Yang. When Chen Mobai himself had formed his Nascent Soul, he had utilized Yan Bingxuan's Primordial Yin True Cold, allowing his Pure Yang True Qi to combine with it, simulating the realm of Yang producing Yin, thus successfully refining his Innate Pure Yang Qi.

As for the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Essence Qi, while almost unknown to most people in the Immortal Sect, Yan Bingxuan, as a master in the Vital Energy field, was very aware of it. Moreover, Chen Mobai had obtained the Purple-Green Demonic Refinement Heavenly Book at the Natural Academy, and it was she and Yan Qiongzhi who had hosted him then. This was precisely the sublimation of the Two Poles Qi. After Yan Qiongzhi refined the Pure Yang Purple Qi, it would better guide her in comprehending the principle of Yin and Yang coexisting. The complete set of Nascent Soul-forming resources packaged by Chen Mobai would likely only increase the success rate for Martial Arts Academy cultivators by half compared to Ice Spirit Root cultivators. It was precisely because of this that Yan Bingxuan, while wanting to refuse, knew she simply couldn't. With this, Yan Qiongzhi's chances of forming a Nascent Soul could undergo a qualitative transformation. For this last remaining family member, she certainly hoped for her success.

"If you can't repay it in this lifetime, then repay it in the next..." Chen Mobai whispered in Yan Bingxuan's ear, his entire body pressed against her jade-like, pristine white back, which exuded a faint coolness. Due to her cultivation of ice spiritual power, her body temperature was much lower than ordinary people's, allowing him to enjoy a different kind of pleasure during their intimate moments.

"I'm just afraid I won't be able to repay you even in the next life..." Yan Bingxuan's breathing became rapid, and instinctive shyness made her subtly try to struggle, but as his large hand tightened on her abundant curves, her entire body involuntarily began to warm up.

"Then the life after next, and the life after that... After you've repaid me, I'll give you another set, and you can keep repaying me, ensuring you repay me for all eternity, never leaving my side."

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Yan Bingxuan's body completely softened. At that moment, a hot hand moved upwards, pressing her rounded, delicate left shoulder with force, pulling her onto her side, prone on the bed. This movement fully displayed Yan Bingxuan's exquisite figure. Although they had been intimate several times before, Yan Bingxuan's shy nature remained unchanged. She couldn't help but let out a soft cry through her nose, turned over, buried her flushed face in the pillow, and turned her back to Chen Mobai. However, this very scene further highlighted the graceful curves of her entire body. The sight of her jade-like body lying prone reignited Chen Mobai's vigor...

In the following days, Chen Mobai was completely immersed in enjoyment. If Yan Bingxuan didn't have to go to work every day, he wouldn't have wanted to leave the room. But even so, the time when she finished work each day remained the most anticipated moment for both of them.

When Yan Qiongzhi saw the box of Nascent Soul-forming resources, she knew it was from Chen Mobai, as only he in the entire Immortal Sect could condense the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Essence Qi. Seeing Yan Bingxuan, who seemed to have transformed into an enchanting beauty, Yan Qiongzhi didn't say much, only asking her to relay a message: "If I form a Nascent Soul, I will forever stand on the side of True Monarch Pure Yang in the Immortal Sect's Three Great Halls." A Nascent Soul cultivator held significant weight in the Immortal Sect, and Chen Mobai was quite satisfied with Yan Qiongzhi's response.

After making his rounds, Chen Mobai naturally didn't forget Pei Qingshuang. Although Pei Qingshuang's relationship with him couldn't compare to that with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai had borrowed her Azure Frost Sword for such a long time that he felt he should compensate her. Moreover, since she also cultivated ice spiritual power, he gave her a stream of Pure Yang Purple Qi in addition to the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Essence Qi. Chen Mobai also remembered that Wenren Xuewei had once given him a Great Elm Flower, specifically to reserve a stream of Pure Yang Purple Qi in the future. As for the supreme-grade spirit stone, he didn't give her one. After all, there was a difference in intimacy, and Pei Qingshuang wasn't lacking; True Monarch Peach Blossom had left all the supreme-grade spirit stones she earned during the pioneering wars to her.

"Pure Yang, if Cui'er successfully forms her Nascent Soul, both my daughter and I will owe you a great favor," True Monarch Peach Blossom said with unprecedented solemnity. Pei Qingshuang, meanwhile, held the Azure Frost Sword that Chen Mobai had just returned to her, unable to put it down. Seeing her borrowed fourth-tier sword artifact return as a fifth-tier one, she couldn't stop smiling. Although the Azure Frost Sword was as aloof to her as ever, it was this familiarity that comforted her.

"Many thanks, True Monarch Pure Yang!" Pei Qingshuang said, still holding the sword, not forgetting to express her gratitude to Chen Mobai.

"The Martial Arts Academy and Jumang Academy have been watching out for each other for so many years; it's only natural to help one another. I hope the next time we meet, you will have successfully formed your Nascent Soul," Chen Mobai said before rising to bid farewell. The Azure Frost Sword trembled slightly, and its spirit manifested, clearly showing some reluctance to part. Chen Mobai walked up to the sword spirit, gently stroked its head, comforting it once more, then departed with Wenren Xuewei by performing a Great Spatial Teleportation.

"Regarding the Lesser Chitian matter, can you take the blame for me?" Chen Mobai said to Wenren Xuewei once they returned to the office.

"Why should I?" Wenren Xuewei's eyes widened, her face full of indignation. Qi Yuheng's order had already come down. The Immortal Affairs Hall was currently drafting the proposal and plan, which would soon be sent to the Kaiyuan Hall for a vote. At that point, all three Hall Masters would need to agree. Chen Mobai planned to use retreat into seclusion as an excuse, letting Wenren Xuewei represent him in agreement. But clearly, Wenren Xuewei didn't want to be scolded.

"Given your talent, your cultivation progress shouldn't be so far behind mine..." Chen Mobai said with a regretful look, which left Wenren Xuewei perplexed and full of questions.

"What are you trying to say? I'm telling you, no matter what, I won't give in—" Wenren Xuewei said firmly, halfway through her sentence, when she saw Chen Mobai flick his finger. A complete Doushuai Fire burned brightly on his fingertip, instantly capturing her gaze.

"This Doushuai Fire is extra, and not much use to me. I was thinking of lending it to you as a reward for taking over as Hall Master of Righteous Law and taking the blame for me..."

Before Chen Mobai even finished speaking, Wenren Xuewei had already changed her attitude: "As Hall Master, you should naturally be spotless and pure as ice. This blame should indeed fall on me!"

"Then I'll leave early. The Hall of Righteous Law is now in your hands." After completely bribing Wenren Xuewei with a Doushuai Fire, Chen Mobai smilingly left the office, heading early to Yan Bingxuan's place to wait for her to finish work.

Recently, he had even visited Meng Huang'er less frequently. Fortunately, the entire Literature and Arts Department, those cultivating the Profound Sound Marvelous Method, had been summoned for intensive training. They had begun rehearsing day and night to practice the Spirit-Shaking Melody. Even Meng Huang'er, who had taken annual leave, was called back. Chen Mobai strongly approved of this, stating that the Spirit-Shaking Melody was of paramount importance. He told Meng Huang'er not to indulge in lower desires but to focus on the grander cause of making the Immortal Sect even greater. Meng Huang'er actually believed Chen Mobai had a grand vision and felt ashamed of her recent indulgences. She didn't know that the reason the Literature and Arts Department was so eager to gather them for training was primarily because Chen Mobai, as the Hall Master of Righteous Law, was actively urging them.

Once Meng Huang'er became busy, Chen Mobai could confidently enjoy his intimate moments. Among his women, he had known Yan Bingxuan the longest, yet their intimate encounters were the fewest, still in a phase filled with novelty and curiosity. After being with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai felt that his Primordial Yang Qi, which had been somewhat out of control due to his overly vigorous Yang fire, gradually became calm and docile. This harmony of Yin and Yang led him to a deeper understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll. This was likely because the core foundation he laid when forming his Nascent Soul was Yan Bingxuan's Primordial Yin True Cold. Thus, his union with Yan Bingxuan seemed to align with the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

During an intimate session half a year later, Chen Mobai suddenly broke through a bottleneck, naturally reaching the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul realm.
