Chapter 577: Chapter 367 Cultivation Technique Conflict_2

"Sister... this matter has nothing to do with Tianyan."

"....."

Tianyan’s deep golden pupils suddenly contracted, and the chaos in her heart had made her unaware that an additional person had entered the room.

She followed his gaze to look behind herself.

There, she saw a bewitching woman dressed in a purple open-chest qipao who had arrived in the chamber at some unknown time and stood just two feet behind her.

Quietly staring at her.

With just one look, Tianyan felt the overwhelming murderous intent of the other party.

The seductive charm of her figure could not hide the chilling coldness that radiated from her body, nor the almost merciless indifference in those light green pupils.

Their eyes met for an instant,

And perhaps because of Xu Yuan’s words, Lou Ji’s aura suddenly deflated, fixing her gaze on Tianyan with a hint of a smile on her lips:

"Changtian has only left me for a moment, and Saintess Your Highness has already tormented him like this, truly an impressive feat..."

"Sister."

Xu Yuan interrupted Lou Ji’s words, with a slightly more emphatic tone, "This matter is merely an accident."

"....."

Upon hearing this, Lou Ji withdrew her gaze, revealing a hint of helplessness, and elongated her tone:

"Alright, alright, alright... Sister won’t fuss over it."

Saying so, Lou Ji didn’t look at Tianyan, the Saintess of Jiatiange, any longer, and instead walked slowly to the bedside and sat down.

The soft bed sank slightly under her weight, and Lou Ji lightly brushed her hand across his somewhat hot cheek, then softly spoke:

"Were you practicing a cultivation technique just now?"

"Yes."

"Eh~ Was it a Dual Cultivation Technique?"

"..." Xu Yuan gave this older lady a blank look.

He was already in such a state, yet she still had the mood for jokes.

However, Lou Ji’s attitude did put his mind at ease.

If she had no solution, Lou Ji might have already taken action when Tianyan had not noticed her presence before.

The fact that she could joke around meant she had a way to solve the problem.

Sitting up straight, Lou Ji glanced at Tianyan, who seemed a bit uneasy:

"Saintess Your Highness, I am willing to believe Changtian’s words, that this matter is indeed an accident.

"However, since you have time to idle here, you might as well go and call that girl surnamed Bai."

Bai Muxi...

Tianyan was silent for a moment before pursing her red lips:

"Why?"

"Why?"

Lou Ji’s eyes half-closed, "As a cultivator of the Primordial Realm, you should be very clear on how to deal with Changtian’s current situation. If you don’t, it is likely due to a conflict in cultivation techniques or physiques which prevents you from guiding him through Dual Cultivation."

At this point,

Lou Ji raised one slender jade finger, tapped her own chest, and said with a light laugh:

"I would be willing to practice Dual Cultivation with Changtian, but due to some past reasons, there is a conflict in physique, so we can only let that girl surnamed Bai do it."

"......"

After a few moments of silence, Tianyan bit her lip corners hard and stood up silently, barely whispering a word from her mouth:

"Immediately."

"......"

Watching her figure suddenly disappear, Lou Ji had a pensive look in her beautiful eyes:

"Yantian Art... truly a divine mystery."

Saying this,

She chuckled, looking down at Xu Yuan, who was half-dead on the bed, and asked curiously:

"Changtian, what Cultivation Technique were you practicing just now that required the Saintess to send her Will-spirit into your Sea of Consciousness?"

After a pause,

She lightly tapped her chin with her forefinger and added:

"Moreover... the Secret Technique you’re cultivating that allows you to refine others’ Will-spirits for your use, I must say I truly envy you~"

"...."

While Xu Yuan contended with the ever-expanding and strengthening Will-spirit in his Sea of Consciousness, he replied feebly:

"The technique I’m cultivating is not something you can practice."

Upon hearing this, Lou Ji casually inquired:

"Then what exactly were you practicing just now? The Yantian Art?"

"Yes."

"Ah?"

Lou Ji’s expression briefly stiffened, glancing back and forth between Xu Yuan and the spot where Tianyan had disappeared, and then with a hint of disbelief, she asked:

"You... are sure it was the Yantian Art?"

Xu Yuan rubbed his forehead:

"It’s just one Chapter of it."

"Is that so..."

Lou Ji murmured to herself, then spoke with a bit more seriousness:

"Changtian, does the Heaven’s Watchtower Master know about this?"

"...."

Xu Yuan shook his head and closed his eyes without responding.

Tianyan had kept some of his secrets, and so naturally, he could not disclose her matters to Lou Ji.

Watching his actions, Lou Ji lifted her finger and gently pressed it on his brow, letting out a deep sigh:

"Keeping secrets, huh? I’m not exactly averse to it, sister."

Xu Yuan let out a feeble hum:

"Heh... Sister, how are things down there now?"

Lou Ji glanced in the direction of the lower levels and whispered softly:

"Wanyao Valley has been immersed in the study of medicine for many years, so a result shouldn’t be expected anytime soon..."

"I meant what did you say to Luo Xiran down there?"

"..."

Lou Ji’s charming cheeks revealed a hint of embarrassment as she feigned ignorance:

"What did I say?"

Xu Yuan silently sighed in his heart, eyes closed, he spoke softly as a precaution:

"My relationship with Luo Xiran is one of cooperation; there’s no need for things to become so tense."

Hearing this, Lou Ji’s tone became slightly dissatisfied:

"Changtian, you shouldn’t bestow your trust so freely, especially not on those whose positions conflict with your own.

"And rather than relying on the insubstantial nature of people, you should trust more in the binding force of interests and the coercion of martial power."

Xu Yuan, leaning against a soft pillow, spoke without much fluctuation in his voice:

"I am aware of that. The reason I trust Luo Xiran is actually more because I have become the repository of her life’s faith."

"A repository of faith?" Lou Ji was puzzled.

Xu Yuan chuckled softly:

"Sister, life without achievements is hard to endure for a decade, and even if one strives for achievements, a hundred years is still too short.

"Luo Xiran and Old Man Jiang He are cut from the same cloth, and I happen to be the vessel of her life’s accomplishments."

Lou Ji’s reactions were as fast as lightning, and in an instant, she thought of Xu Yuan’s previously strange way of perceiving things.

It looked like Changtian’s thing was related to that old woman from ten thousand years ago...

With this in mind, she spoke softly:

"If that’s the case, then sister won’t go behind your back doing things you wouldn’t want."

Having said that, she turned her gaze toward the door:

"Alright, the Saintess has returned."

With that,

the door to the room was pushed open from outside.

Two graceful silhouettes appeared at the doorway.

Tianyan walked in front, her eyelids drooping, her thoughts unknown.

Bai Muxi followed, her bright eyes like the moon, her face showing difficulty, yet her footsteps were quick.

When the two women approached, Tianyan remained silent, saying nothing.

Bai Muxi bowed respectfully, performing a very standard Dayan courtly salute:

"Young Master, Chief Lou."

Lou Ji sat at the edge of the bed, glanced over the two women in front of her, and her gaze landed on Bai Muxi:

"You must know why I’ve summoned you, right?"

Bai Muxi did not immediately respond; after a quiet moment and with a somewhat troubled and hesitant soft voice, she said:

"Mu Xi understands, it’s to engage in Dual Cultivation with the Young Master, but such matters of Dual Cultivation should be..."

As she spoke, she cast a sideways glance at the young girl beside her.

The atmosphere turned subtly tense following Bai Muxi’s actions.

Tianyan cast a sideways glare at her, her voice flat and low:

"It’s just guiding the transfer of qi in Dual Cultivation; my Cultivation Technique conflicts with Xu Yuan’s."

"..." Bai Muxi was taken aback.

Before coming here, she had only heard Tianyan mention that the Young Master needed Dual Cultivation for guidance.

In the Underground Palace, Dual Cultivation always meant the sexual union of a man and woman, could the transfer of qi also be considered Dual Cultivation?

Bai Muxi’s eyes flickered for a moment, and she spoke softly:

"But... I haven’t practiced such Dual Cultivation techniques before, and if something goes wrong during the process..."

She had to seize any opportunity to rise up, to use her body to make the Young Master addicted, and further elevate her own status.

When Tianyan heard this, a flush of embarrassment and annoyance rose within her, suppressing her feelings of guilt and dejection, she said coldly:

"Chief Lou and I will be watching, nothing will go wrong."

"But in case something happens to the Young Master..."

"....."

Watching the bickering scene unfold before her, Lou Ji looked at the concubine acquired by Changtian with interest.

In the several meetings they had previously, the other party was always honest and as docile as a rabbit.

Now it seemed this woman had quite a few thoughts of her own.

Thinking this, Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan, who lay half-dead on the bed, and suppressed the desire in her heart to enjoy the spectacle, her cold voice interrupting the two women:

"You can fight over jealousy at another time. If Changtian is compromised, not one of you will survive."

"....." Tianyan instantly fell silent, her eyes showing concern.

"....." Bai Muxi shrank her neck.

Seeing the two women fall silent, Lou Ji turned over and climbed onto the bed, pointing in front of her:

"Bai Muxi, since you’re unfamiliar, you’ll first get acquainted with me."

"But the time..." Bai Muxi still tried to struggle a bit.

"It’s a matter of a moment."

Lou Ji’s tone was cold and slightly impatient:

"Get on the bed."
