Chapter 247: A Well-Behaved and Sensible Disciple
Man is the knife, and I am the fish.
This is Qin Muling's current situation. Faced with Mu Yinghua, who is filled with killing intent and shame, his options are quite limited.
Letting out a sigh in his heart, Qin Muling decided not to beg for mercy anymore. He closed his eyes and lay flat, preparing to accept the punishment from his master. After all, this was the price he had to pay.
However, after waiting for a while, the expected storm did not come. Qin Muling opened his eyes in surprise and found Mu Yinghua leaning over him, looking at him with a complex and inexplicable expression in her beautiful eyes. The whip, which was filled with killing intent, lay quietly beside her.
"Master..." Qin Muling cautiously called out, not understanding what Mu Yinghua was thinking in her heart. It seemed that he might be spared from this beating?
Mu Yinghua hesitated for a moment, then finally said in a low voice, "If it's just to help me improve my cultivation, those things... can be considered. But you, you are too wicked. I really can't trust you."
"Um... I promise I won't have any evil thoughts," Qin Muling said, sensing a glimmer of hope. He quickly made a solemn vow, determined to pass this test before him no matter what.
Mu Yinghua blushed slightly and sneered, "Forget it! I can't believe your promises."
As the only female immortal who witnessed the transformation of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, she was well aware of Qin Muling's character. He had long had thoughts about her, so she couldn't give him any chance, not even if he begged for it!
Of course, for the sake of her Great Principal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, it was necessary to focus on serious cultivation. Since they had some close contact due to the matter at hand, she could accept it.
Mu Yinghua assured herself that she really didn't think too much about it. Everything was for the sake of cultivation.
"So... what do you mean, Master?" Qin Muling blinked his eyes, looking at the stunning beauty who was so close to him with some confusion.
"Just sit still like this, don't move, and don't look around! I'll take care of the rest," Mu Yinghua said, helping him sit up straight with a solemn expression.
"Alright," Qin Muling could only agree. If he didn't want to be whipped by his master, he had to obediently listen now.
"Okay, put this on," Mu Yinghua took out a black eye mask that shimmered with spiritual light from her spatial bracelet. It seemed that she had personally crafted it. There were faint and intricate patterns on it, somewhat resembling the lace trim that Qin Muling was familiar with. It was exquisitely beautiful and had a mysterious and tempting style, clearly showing the effort she had put into it.
"Um..." Qin Muling instinctively said, "This actually suits you better, Master. Why don't you wear it instead..."
The sudden surge of killing intent from the stunning beauty made him wisely shut his mouth.
"Be honest and obedient!"
Mu Yinghua snorted and took out another Law Weapon that looked like a pair of golden shackles. It was just as exquisite and beautiful as before, and she gently put it on Qin Muling's wrist.
"..."
What else could Qin Muling say? It seemed that her master had anticipated this day and prepared for it. He wasn't allowed to look around or move.
Then, Mu Yinghua personally put a blindfold on him.
As a result, Qin Muling felt the world around him quiet down. With his usual Immortal Transformation cultivation, he couldn't hear or see anything, nor could he sense any movement around him. These two things were actually two supreme Law Treasures. He estimated that even someone with the cultivation of an Origin Immortal peak would not be able to break free from their restraints.
I wonder if the innate Divine Ability derived from the Azure Lotus leaf can break through the restraints of these two supreme Law Treasures?
Qin Muling's thoughts stirred slightly, and the dark world brightened again. He immediately controlled it carefully. As a Supreme Primordial Golden Immortal, his spiritual awareness was exceptionally keen. Even in a face-to-face situation, he wasn't confident that Mu Yinghua wouldn't notice anything.
Seeing that Qin Muling was ready, Mu Yinghua's shy and nervous mind finally relaxed. She looked around and said, "There's no time acceleration array here. Let's go to the secret chamber!"
She transmitted this message to Qin Muling through her spiritual awareness, so he couldn't hear or see, but he could passively receive it. He nodded in response.
What was that? The secret chamber... for what kind of... training?
Mu Yinghua approached and lifted the beautiful young man from the embroidered bed. Then, they arrived at the study, and the ancient and elegant spirit jade bookshelf silently split apart on both sides, revealing a narrow secret passage behind it.
After walking dozens of steps, the surroundings suddenly opened up, revealing a completely new world. Apart from a warm jade bed in the center, there was nothing else in the spacious hall. The smooth and jade-like floor had intricate and mysterious large-scale array patterns.
This was Mu Yinghua's usual cultivation place, where the spiritual veins beneath the ground and the specifications of the array's spiritual energy transmission were at the apex level, untouched by anyone else.
Mu Yinghua placed him on the bed and skillfully performed a series of spiritual techniques, activating the layers of arrays on the floor and walls. In an instant, the space surged with visible essences of spiritual energy, and various shielding and protective arrays, as well as time acceleration arrays, began to operate one after another.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yinghua slowly loosened the jade belt around her waist, removing layer after layer of her gorgeous inner and outer garments, revealing her stunning and captivating body. Her two perfectly shaped breasts were heavy and impressive, yet incredibly upright, resembling inverted jade bowls.
Thinking that her disciple couldn't see anything at the moment, and with the whip placed on the bed, she felt a sense of security and relieved some of the embarrassment and shyness in her heart. She then stepped forward with her round and smooth long legs, climbed onto the bed lightly, and sat facing Qin Muling. She stripped him of his clothes as well.
At this point, the two finally faced each other honestly.
"Alright, let's begin now."
"Yes, Master."
As Qin Muling silently cultivated his profound techniques, a pure and flawless, deep and ethereal spiritual light gradually emerged, expanding to a radius of three zhang before gradually solidifying and stabilizing, transforming into a bright light wheel that enveloped him and Mu Yinghua.
Immediately, the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment slowly collapsed inward, gradually condensing into a three-foot radius. At the same time, the concentration of the profound mysteries within the light increased.
"Hmm, not bad! However... it should be possible to further enhance it, right?"
Mu Yinghua said with satisfaction, but also with a hint of lingering desire.
"How does Master plan to do that?"
Qin Muling knew what she wanted to do, but she didn't reveal it.
Mu Yinghua responded with action. She gently pulled the beautiful young man over to sit in her lap, allowing her to further narrow the range of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment and increase the concentration of the spiritual rhythm.
Feeling the faint fragrance coming from behind, a flame ignited in Qin Muling's heart that couldn't be suppressed.
In situations like this, where one couldn't listen or see and was confined, certain experiences could actually be quite exciting, but they couldn't be openly discussed.
"Focus on cultivation and don't let your mind wander!" Mu Yinghua's soft and seductive voice trembled slightly, and her gaze avoided the whip placed nearby.
"Yes, Master!" Qin Muling restrained his mind and began adjusting the range of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment.
When the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment stabilized again, Mu Yinghua made a rough estimate and concluded that the effect of ten days of seclusion with her disciple was roughly equivalent to the result of her own three hundred years of arduous cultivation.
Such incredible efficiency almost surpassed the majority of heavenly treasures and good fortune that she knew of. If they could continue cultivating like this, not to mention the Great Principal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, even the Quasi-Saint Emperor... it wouldn't be an impossible dream!
No wonder Xue Bingxuan and the others enjoyed it and never tired of it. Whenever they had free time, they would pull Qin Muling into seclusion for cultivation. Even Princess Long Yi, who had just entered, was no exception. Any female immortal with a normal mind wouldn't be able to refuse such a heaven-defying opportunity.
After a moment, Mu Yinghua struggled to calm her inexplicably excited emotions and whispered, "We can't delay the matter of transporting resources for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Let's activate the thousand-fold time acceleration array this time and see the effect. We'll end it after one day."
One day of seclusion in the time acceleration array was equivalent to one thousand days, which was roughly equivalent to the result of Mu Yinghua's own thirty thousand years of cultivation.
"Understood, Master." Qin Muling continued to behave extremely obediently.
Mu Yinghua smiled with satisfaction, tightened her grip on Qin Muling's arm, and thought that if her disciple continued to be as well-behaved and obedient as he was now, she wouldn't have to be so guarded against him.
Cultivation knows no time, and a thousand days pass in the blink of an eye.
As the arrays in the secret chamber closed one after another, Mu Yinghua reluctantly let go of the beautiful young man in her arms, got up from the bed, put on her clothes again, and tidied up all the traces on the bed before removing Qin Muling's blindfold.
When Qin Muling opened his eyes again, Mu Yinghua had already restored her dignified and inviolable image as a master, and her stunning face showed no emotions, no different from any other day.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest a bit more?" Mu Yinghua felt slightly guilty when she thought about the significant increase in her own cultivation. After all, she had worked her disciple so hard and couldn't let him suffer too much, so she asked softly.
"It's fine, as long as Master is satisfied." Qin Muling didn't reveal anything. After all, he had always just been lying there, while Mu Yinghua was the one putting in the effort. He only needed to close his eyes and experience it with his heart.
Mu Yinghua's face turned slightly red. She raised her hand and released the shackles on his wrist, putting them into her spatial bracelet.
Of course, she also put away the blindfold and the whip placed nearby, preparing to use them again in the next cultivation session.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yinghua solemnly cautioned, "Don't let your senior sister and the others know about this matter. In the future... if I need to cultivate, I will summon you alone under the guise of guiding your studies. Understand?"
Even if she couldn't be separated from Qin Muling, the image and dignity of the sect's leader needed to be maintained. So Mu Yinghua never intended to let Xue Bingxuan and the others know the truth. After all, she was Qin Muling's righteous sect leader, and it was perfectly reasonable for her to personally guide his cultivation. No one could say anything about it.
Qin Muling agreed and asked after some thought, "Master, how much has your cultivation increased? It shouldn't be far from the Great Principle realm, right?"
"It's not bad. I've increased by First Grade," Mu Yinghua said with joy that couldn't be concealed in her beautiful eyes. "If I continue to cultivate like this for a few dozen more times, I will have a chance to reach the threshold of the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm."
Unlike ordinary True Immortals and Mysterious Immortals, the cultivation levels above Golden Immortal were classified by grades. Golden Immortal was the Thirty-third Grade, in line with the symbolism of the thirty-three heavens. Supreme Primordial Golden Immortal was the Ninth Grade, and Great Principal Golden Immortal was the Third Grade. Beyond that was the Quasi-Saint Emperor.
According to Mu Yinghua, she had barely touched the edge of the Third Grade Supreme Primordial Golden Immortal realm. She was still six grades away from the Great Principle realm. If she followed the normal path of cultivation without any special opportunities or immense luck, it would take millions or even billions of years to complete this process.
Of course, due to their own aptitude and comprehension being insufficient, the exhaustion of potential, or lack of luck, many Supreme Primordial Golden Immortals could only be stuck at this realm for their entire lives, unable to touch the threshold of the Great Principle realm.
With Mu Yinghua's original aptitude and luck, there wasn't much hope for her to reach the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm in her lifetime. At most, she had a one or two percent chance. However, now with Qin Muling's help, it was a matter of time and certainty.
"Alright, shall we go out now? Emperor Jun and the others should be back," Qin Muling asked after putting on his clothes.
Although they were currently engaged in legitimate cultivation and nothing too out of the ordinary had happened between him and his master, it was still a good start. It was only a matter of time before their wishes were fulfilled.
Mu Yinghua smiled and said, "I was so busy with cultivation earlier that I almost forgot to mention the main point! Emperor Bing Chan from the Genesis Star Palace broke through the mountain gate stronghold of the Jade Pearl Star Palace a few days ago with a large number of high-level cultivators, completely destroying the Supreme lineage that had been passed down for millions of years. Then, they did the same and wiped out the Jade Drop Divine Temple."
"Is that true?" Qin Muling asked in surprise. It was the first time he had heard this news. It seemed that the strength of the Genesis Star Palace was truly not to be underestimated, as they had annihilated two Supreme lineages in one fell swoop.
Even though they had suffered heavy losses in the previous Demon Race calamity and had not yet had time to recover, it was enough to show how terrifying the Genesis Star Palace was.
Mu Yinghua nodded, "It's absolutely true. After the news spread, all the sect forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky were shocked. Many forces that had participated in the looting of the Genesis Star Palace in the past sent envoys with generous gifts to apologize, hoping that Emperor Bing Chan would be lenient."
"Fortunately, our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace didn't get involved in this matter, so there's no need to worry," Qin Muling said with a smile.
"I hope so," Mu Yinghua said with a hint of melancholy and hidden worry. She had indeed not participated in this matter, but she had taken away the most precious Innate Primordial Spirit Seed from the Genesis Star Palace, which was Qin Muling standing before her. How could the Genesis Star Palace let her and the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace off?
If that Emperor Bing Chan found out that Qin Muling was on the Imperial Dao Peak of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the army of the Genesis Star Palace would probably besiege the mountain gate stronghold tomorrow.
Dare not hand over Qin Muling? Then the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would follow in the footsteps of the Jade Pearl Star Palace.
However, while Qin Muling was concerned, he was not particularly afraid. As long as he could reach the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm and even the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm as soon as possible, that Emperor Bing Chan would be just as helpless in front of him.
After chatting for a while, the master and disciple left the secret room hand in hand.
