Chapter 997 My Daoist Companion Fell in Love with Someone Else on the Road to Resurrecting Me (8)
"It's nothing," Li Canglan said calmly.
Shen Shuyi nodded slightly and continued to take stock of the Demon Clan's treasure trove.
She didn't come here simply to seek revenge; killing the Demon Lord was just one part of it.
Most importantly, she needs to develop her own power base so that she will have more leverage when she stands on the opposite side of Wen Yuheng in the future.
Those demonic soldiers that had never harmed anyone were kept, while those that had harmed mortals and innocent cultivators were refined.
Her current goal is to use the Demon Clan's treasury to recruit soldiers and establish a new force.
There was no reason for those demons not to surrender when faced with such a powerful lord.
Nothing is more important than your life!
Shen Shuyi didn't have time to linger here, so she promoted a seemingly shrewd demon, gave him a pill that would make him obedient, and made him the chief protector to manage the affairs of the sect.
The first rule is that mortals must not be disturbed.
The second option is to honestly focus on infrastructure development in the Demon Abyss, making it a place of ethereal beauty.
The third option is to send a team of clever demon soldiers to infiltrate the vicinity of the Guiyue Secret Realm, and to sneak in and ambush as soon as the secret realm opens. As for what to do, they will be at her command at any time.
After arranging everything, Shen Shuyi took Li Canglan away from the Demon Abyss. As soon as they returned to the valley where they had been cultivating, she noticed that something was wrong with Li Canglan.
Because the man suddenly reverted to his original form and darted into the spiritual spring pool to soak.
She walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and poked the snake's head.
"Hey, are you seriously injured?"
Li Canglan was indeed seriously injured at this moment, and he couldn't quite understand the worry that flashed in the eyes of the female cultivator in front of him.
They've only known him for a short time, and they consider him an insignificant spirit beast, so there's no need to worry.
Shen Shuyi took out a bottle of elixirs from her Qiankun bag. "Take these elixirs. They can heal your injuries and at least stabilize your human form."
She frowned slightly. "By the way, you can't take the pills in your current state, can you? Let me help you transform first."
After saying that, she entered the spiritual spring, the water splashing. Shen Shuyi reached out and touched the coiled silver-scaled snake.
The moment her fingertips touched the snake's body, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from her dantian, a pale blue halo spreading out like a tide, enveloping both her and the snake. The spiritual spring churned, and the spiritual essence deep within its source rose to the surface, intertwining with the spiritual energy to form a net, seeping into Li Canglan's scales in strands.
Li Canglan allowed the spiritual energy to break through the chaotic demonic power within his body. The spiritual energy flowed back and forth between the two of them. Beads of sweat appeared on Shen Shuyi's forehead, and her white clothes were already soaked through by the spring water, clinging tightly to her exquisite figure.
After an unknown amount of time, a roar exploded out.
The light suddenly receded, and the silver snake at the bottom of the pool swelled up, its scales peeling away inch by inch to reveal a lean and upright human figure.
With his black hair flowing freely and water droplets still clinging to his snow-white skin, Li Canglan slowly opened his eyes, his golden pupils shining brightly like stars as he stared intently at the woman before him.
Shen Shuyi leaned against the pool wall, panting. Her wet clothes were half-transparent, revealing glimpses of her fair skin. Her cheeks flushed slightly as he stared at her, and she scolded playfully, "What are you looking at!"
"I'm sorry." Li Canglan looked away.
Shen Shuyi tossed him the medicine bottle, "Take it quickly."
"Thank you." Li Canglan took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
He suffered only minor injuries in the Demon Abyss. The main problem was that Elder Liu had poisoned him with Bone-Eating Poison in the Xuan Dan Valley. It would flare up every month, and today was the day the poison was flaring up, corroding his flesh and causing excruciating pain that ordinary pills could not cure.
Seeing that his complexion had only slightly improved, Shen Shu asked curiously, "What's wrong with your body?"
Li Canglan's expression hardened slightly. "I was poisoned by the Bone-Eating Poison. Without an antidote, it would flare up every month until I died."
Shen Shuyi frowned. "Did that evil cultivator give it to you?"
"Mm." Li Canglan nodded.
Shen Shuyi suggested, "I have a good idea that would benefit both of us, but I don't know if you'd be willing."
Li Canglan recalled the murder of his parents and the humiliating days he endured in Xuan Dan Valley, constantly yearning for revenge. "What method do you have?"
Shen Shuyi chuckled, "Once I use that method, I can no longer treat you as a spirit pet."
"You don't know my name yet. My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Shuyi. From now on, we will treat each other as equals."
“Okay.” Li Canglan was not good at communicating with people, so whatever she said went, as long as it could lead to revenge.
Shen Shuyi took out a secret manual and tossed it to Li Canglan, saying, "If you and I practice this technique, we can be reborn and all poisons can be neutralized."
When Li Canglan saw the name of the manual, he immediately felt it was burning hot.
"This, this is probably not appropriate."
The "Taiyin Taiyang Hedao Jue" is a method of dual cultivation, which can only be practiced by Daoist partners.
Shen Shuyi glanced at him. "Are you getting the wrong idea?"
“Dual cultivation is not limited to physical cultivation; there is also spiritual cultivation. The Taiyin Taiyang Hedao Jue contains methods for spiritual cultivation.”
She narrowed her eyes and said seriously, "The path of cultivation is inherently cruel. If one hesitates, how can one achieve the Great Dao?"
"Moreover, you have demon blood, so you shouldn't be so old-fashioned."
Li Canglan's ears turned bright red from what she said, and his handsome cheeks flushed slightly.
"How does one cultivate?"
Shen Shuyi slightly raised her chin, gesturing for him to open the manual.
"This is my first time practicing this technique too, let's take a look together."
Even though it was a spiritual dual cultivation, Shen Shuyi's ears were burning from watching it. In fact, it wasn't that different from physical dual cultivation.
It's an out-of-body experience, a fusion within the sea of consciousness.
Shen Shuyi coughed lightly, "Are you ready?"
"Hmm." Li Canglan's voice was a little deep.
“Let’s try it first.” Shen Shuyi set up a barrier in the cave, and then she and Li Canglan sat facing each other on the stone bed in the cave, stretching out their hands in a meditative posture.
The two men placed their palms together, looked at each other, and then closed their eyes, a golden light enveloping them.
In their minds, Shen Shuyi was in Li Canglan's arms, and Li Canglan was holding her. The cultivation technique was repeating itself in their minds.
Water and fire complement each other, yin and yang complement each other, and yang transforms into yin, thus achieving a state of yin-yang balance.
At the same time, images of practicing martial arts came into view.
Shen Shuyi's pretty face flushed, and she secretly glanced at Li Canglan, whose expression was equally unnatural.
Once they entered the state, both of them were driven by the technique and could hardly be distracted.
A mysterious cloud rose up, as if a dragon was churning within it.
Shen Shuyi felt her heart beating faster and faster, while Li Canglan felt his vital energy condensing and rising intensely, as if something was stirring within him, extremely domineering.
He looked at himself in his consciousness, who was completely unfamiliar with him, and even reached out to gently touch the fairy who was only wearing a light gauze dress.
The man's hands were both domineering and gentle; wherever his palms touched, the fairy trembled.
In the end, he could no longer suppress it, and at the peak, he reversed the flow and sent it into the place where the yin energy was located.
Shen Shuyi felt her true essence surging in, and her energy surged, breaking through one realm after another.
Finally, she fell from the clouds into Li Canglan's arms, trembling slightly.
Because, when she fell, she happened to bump into Li Canglan, who then got up.
Shen Shuyi sensed something was amiss; it seemed Li Canglan was one person more than usual.
After all, when he was cultivating both his mind and spirit, he was in a state of being half-human and half-dragon.
