Chapter 176 No, you came at the right time

Cao Ze then remembered the reason why he came here. His face turned stern and he said seriously, "I came here today to ask you a question."

"The road to martial arts is long. Are you willing to walk with me?"

After saying that, Cao Ze looked at Yue Lingke calmly.

If Yue Lingke was interested, he would not continue to suppress his feelings. If Yue Lingke was not interested, he would naturally not force it.

"what?"

Hong Xing screamed and then subconsciously covered her mouth.

Is this something I can listen to?

She regretted that she hadn't left earlier.

Yue Lingke never thought that Cao Ze would be so direct. Her cheeks flushed and even her ears turned red.

She suddenly regretted not letting Hong Xing go out.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Yue Lingke was not an ordinary woman after all, so she recovered quickly.

He took a deep breath and looked up at Cao Ze. The panic in his eyes was gone. "I guess you misunderstood."

Hearing this, Cao Ze did not hesitate, he already understood the other party's intention.

Yue Lingke had a good impression of him, otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted like that just now.

It doesn't matter what you say, your body is often more honest than your mouth.

However, before Cao Ze could take the next step, Yue Lingke continued, "Although I have a good impression of you, or rather, I really liked you in the past."

"But now, I only have martial arts in my heart, and no longer have those romantic feelings!"

Yue Lingke spoke decisively, his eyes firm.

Hong Xing on the side sighed. As Yue Lingke's personal maid, she knew that the young lady was just being stubborn.

Maybe in the future, Miss can really focus on martial arts and bury this feeling completely, but at least she can't do it now.

Of course Cao Ze also understood!
He would not give up easily just because of Yue Lingke's words.

Now that I understand Yue Lingke's feelings, there is no reason to let go.

"I saw you were studying the Dan Ding Jue just now?"

Cao Ze took a step forward and was less than a foot away from Yue Lingke.

Yue Lingke was half a head shorter than him, and at this moment he was looking down on him with a domineering air.

Yue Lingke looked up, there was no panic in his eyes.

The next moment, a phantom of a two-legged cauldron appeared around Cao Ze, and the surrounding world was suppressed and was completely under Cao Ze's control.

"I have studied the Dan Ding Jue quite a bit, and have developed a set of dual cultivation techniques based on the Dan Ding Jue. If you are interested, we can discuss the true meaning of martial arts together and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!"

"Dual cultivation technique?"

Yue Lingke was a little curious. Even for someone as well-read as her, this was the first time she had heard of this word.

"It's a technique that requires a couple to practice together!"

After hearing Cao Ze's explanation, Yue Lingke suddenly understood and a trace of shame and anger appeared on her face. She thought that Cao Ze was deliberately being frivolous to her.

Hong Xing, who was standing by, had her mouth wide open. She didn't expect Cao Ze to be so bold and straightforward.

But inexplicably, she still had a hint of anticipation.

"I'm sure you know about Xiaozhi's talent."

Cao Ze saw through Yue Lingke's thoughts and continued slowly, "Now that she has become a master, I'm sure you have already seen it."

"It proves that what I said is true!"

A gleam of light flashed in Yue Lingke's eyes. After a slight hesitation, she believed Cao Ze without hesitation.

"In that case, we can discuss this now..."

As he spoke, Yue Lingke also took half a step forward, and their breathing was already audible.

"Now? Here?"

Cao Ze looked at Hong Xing standing beside him.

Hong Xing finally couldn't hold on any longer. She turned around with a blushing face and trotted out of the cabin, closing the door, leaving this hot space to the two people who were passionate about each other.

"As warriors, we are fighting against the heavens for our lives, so there is nothing to be shy about!"

Yue Lingke looked straight at Cao Ze with a calm expression.

Cao Ze smiled casually, "In that case, I will first teach you the basics of this dual cultivation method."

As he said this, he picked up Yue Lingke by the waist and walked towards the big bed beside him.

"What should I do?"

Although Yue Lingke was well-read, his books obviously did not cover this kind of thing. At this moment, he didn't know where to put his hands, but looked at Cao Ze with a curious expression and asked.

“Follow your feelings!”

Cao Ze thought about it and replied.

With a puff, the candle in the cabin was blown out.

The moonlight outside the window is reflected in the sea, emitting a faint light, appearing quiet and cold.

Cao Ze came to Yue Lingke's cabin and it took him a long time to comprehend the Wind Shadow Step. By then, it was already dark outside.

The lights in the house were out and it was dark.

From time to time, one or two stars pierced into the Milky Way, or streaked into the darkness, with red or whitish tails of light, floating or stiff, falling straight down or sweeping across, and sometimes flickering and trembling, giving the sky some turbulence of light and heat, and giving the darkness some flickering bursts.

Sometimes one or two stars, sometimes several stars, fall at the same time, causing the quiet autumn sky to tremble slightly and making myriad stars confused for a moment.

Sometimes a single giant star pierces across the corner of the sky, with an extremely long tail of light emitting starflowers, red, yellow... In its final advance, it suddenly shines a white strip in the corner of the sky as if in wild joy, as if piercing through the darkness, allowing some milky white light to penetrate and linger.

The remaining light faded away, the darkness seemed to shake a few times, and then closed up again. The quiet and lazy stars returned to their original positions, smiling on the autumn wind.

Yue Lingke and Su Xiaozhi are very different.

If Su Xiaozhi is a ball of sweet and soft cotton, she is always ambitious and likes to provoke Cao Ze, but she always surrenders at the very beginning, and then she holds her head with her hands and lets Cao Ze's fists fall like raindrops.

Yue Lingke, on the other hand, was like a piece of diamond, hard and angular. After the initial discomfort, with her talent and ability, her learning speed in this area was still amazing, and she even wanted to compete with Cao Ze for a dominant position.

I don’t know how long it took.

The battle finally subsided, and Cao Ze began to practice the Dan Ding Jue. Just as he said, the previous ones were just basic teaching.

Cao Ze's five internal organs emitted five-colored light, which stimulated Yue Lingke's five internal organs, and through the two connections between the two people, a double five-element cycle was slowly formed. This process was very slow, but slow and firm. Cao Ze, who had already had the experience once, was finally promoting the formation of the double five-element cycle step by step.

And this is just the first step.

After forming the double five-element cycle, it is also necessary to reshape Yue Lingke's blood refining realm technique and gather it into a pill cauldron!

Yue Lingke was indeed a genius. She had regained consciousness when Cao Ze was practicing. Combining her understanding of the Five Elements Internal Refining Technique and the Alchemy Technique, she actually began to slowly cooperate with Cao Ze. From being awkward at the beginning, she was able to slowly keep up with Cao Ze's rhythm later on, which greatly increased the speed of the process...

The moon sets and the sun rises,

The shadow of a large four-legged tripod finally appeared in the cabin. The mission was accomplished, and the two men who had been busy all night breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Lingke, sweating profusely, fell into a deep sleep.

After experiencing such a horrific battle last night, battling against a sixth-level master of Jiaoxue, the difficulty of the battle was naturally beyond the description of outsiders.

After that, she reshaped her skills and practiced the Dan Ding Jue, which consumed countless of her energy.

Now the task was completed, all the fatigue surged away from her heart, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Cao Ze, however, was full of energy and did not show any sign of fatigue.

With his perfect body in the body-building realm, no ordinary warrior can compare to him in terms of endurance and burst.

Without disturbing Yue Lingke who was sleeping soundly, Cao Ze leaned against the head of the bed and called out the panel.

[You and Yue Lingke spent a loving and harmonious night, love points +13145]

hiss!
Cao Ze took a breath of cold air.

He thought that with Yue Lingke's level of cultivation, he should be able to gain a lot of love points, but he never thought it would be so terrifying.

At this speed, he doesn't have to do anything and it only takes more than a month to improve his cultivation by one level. It's really terrifying!
Looking at Yue Lingke, I saw a line of small words appearing above her head as well.
[Yue Lingke: Favorability: 78 (90% bonus)]

His favorability with Yue Lingke is still too low. If he could max out his favorability like he did with Su Xiaozhi, Cao Ze wouldn't dare to imagine how fast he would accumulate love points.

But he was not in a hurry. This favorability also proved that Yue Lingke was interested in him, and all he had to do next was to cultivate her feelings slowly.

……

On the vast East China Sea, a small boat was drifting with the waves, looking quite leisurely. There was no doubt that it was Cao Ze and his party.

Now they were very close to Cape City, and Cao Ze and his companions were no longer in a hurry to continue their journey.

They did not meet anyone from the Dragon Temple along the way, which made them even more worried. At this time, Cape City was probably in great danger.

They might encounter the Dragon Blood Master of the Dragon Temple at any time, so they must make some necessary preparations.

"Uncle Ye, you don't have to be too deliberate. Just carefully comprehend the array disk, follow the guidance of the array disk, inject the power of qi and blood, and guide the trend of heaven and earth!"

On the boat, Cao Ze's way of addressing Ye Bufan had changed.

They had been practicing the Palace Island protection formation for some time, and could now barely form the formation, but the power it exerted was always disappointing, especially after He Zhengkui's injuries had mostly recovered and he joined the formation, the result became 1+1 less than 2.

"Lord Dusi, please believe me, believe us..."

Just when they solved Ye Bufan's problem, He Zhengkui encountered another problem. The nodes of the formation were obscure, the flow of the power of heaven and earth was instantly blocked, and the power of the formation was suddenly greatly reduced.

"If we encounter the Dragon Blood Grandmaster, we can only fight him together. Otherwise, our lives will be in vain..."

Cao Ze now finally understood why those who stayed on Palace Island, except for Kong Shiyi who was a grandmaster, were all warriors in the Organ Refining Realm.

In order to activate the formation, other people who are nodes of the formation must completely trust the person in charge of the formation. This means that if the person in charge of the formation is willing, he can use the power of the formation plate to deprive other people in the formation nodes of their lives in a moment!

Only warriors in the Refining Organ Realm can give their trust so unconditionally, because if the Grandmaster wants to take their lives, there is no need for a formation plate at all.

Any master would treasure his own life and would not easily hand it over to others.

Ye Bufan and Lu Bohan, who were saved by Cao Ze, were like this, so it would be even more difficult for He Zhengkui, who was at the ninth level of the Dragon Blood realm, to completely trust Cao Ze, a guy he was not familiar with.

Cao Ze's reasons could not convince him.

Now that his injuries have mostly recovered, it seems unnecessary for him to go to die with Cao Ze and the others. He can leave at any time, so naturally he doesn't need to face the Dragon Blood Master.

"Lord Dusi has been trapped in the ninth level of Dragon Blood for some time. Don't you want to experience the battle with the Dragon Blood Grandmaster?"

As soon as these words came out, He Zhengkui's breathing became faster.

Just as Cao Ze said, he has been stuck in the ninth level of Dragon Blood for some time. He thinks that his accumulation is no worse than anyone else, but he still cannot see the threshold of Dragon Blood Grandmaster.

Even though he was born in Xuanbao Pavilion, he was just an ordinary disciple without any background or power. Even if there were more Dragon Blood Masters in Xuanbao Pavilion, it would be difficult for him to have the experience of fighting with Dragon Blood Masters. The Dragon Blood Masters were all busy and had no time to guide a nobody like him.

It was precisely because of this that he came to Cape City, just to accumulate enough merits in exchange for the opportunity to break through to the Dragon Blood Grandmaster.

When practicing the formation these days, he naturally understood that although he completely let go of himself and integrated into the formation, which would put his life and death in the hands of the person in charge of the formation, he could also understand some of the feelings of the person in charge of the formation.

If he could personally fight with the Dragon Blood Grandmaster in depth and let him understand what the Dragon Blood Grandmaster is all about, perhaps he would really be able to see the hope of breaking through to the Dragon Blood Grandmaster level!
"I can try!"

After hesitating for a long while, He Zhengkui finally looked up at Cao Ze and spoke in a deep voice.

No warrior can resist the temptation to go further!

Especially a warrior like him who has been lingering on the edge of the threshold for many years.

With the knot in their hearts untied, the following exercises became easy and natural. As everyone became familiar with the operation of the formation, slowly, the terrifying power of the formation was revealed to everyone.

The Palace Island formation was just made up of a group of warriors in the Refining Internal Organs Realm. Although they won by sheer numbers, at this moment all those who formed the formation were masters, and their power was incomparable to the formation controlled by Kong Shiyi.

An hour later, everyone returned to the deck after practicing the formation.

Cao Ze and Su Xiaozhi returned to their cabin, practiced the Dan Ding Jue, and continued to cultivate.

Yue Lingke was originally walking towards his cabin, but on a whim, he suddenly turned around and walked to the outside of Cao Ze's room, wanting to discuss martial arts with Cao Ze.

dong dong dong...

A gentle knock caused the door to creak open, allowing Yue Lingke to see the scene inside the room.

Even though she had been practicing dual cultivation with Cao Ze for some time, she still blushed and felt hot all over when she suddenly saw such an exciting scene.

"I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time!"

Yue Lingke was about to close the door in panic.

"No, you came just in time!"

Cao Ze smiled slightly, raised his hand, activated the Heaven-Flipping Seal, and gently dragged Yue Lingke into the room, while not forgetting to close the door.

Soon, the familiar sound of thunder was heard in the room.

It was the sound of the Dan Ding refining the Leiyin Fruit.

The only difference is that the original four-legged cauldron phantom has now turned into a six-legged cauldron, and this cauldron has also increased from about ten feet high to fifteen feet high. The three five-colored wheels continuously rotate to consume the Leiyin Fruit, turning it into pure Yuanli that sinks into the bodies of the three people, increasing the refining efficiency by as much as fifty to sixty percent!
