Another half an hour passed, and the sounds inside Qiu Ming’s cave dwelling finally quieted down.

The stone door of the cave dwelling, which had been tightly closed for an hour, suddenly opened.

Under Liou Yuan’s gaze, a graceful and alluring figure exited the cave dwelling.

Her walking posture was extremely strange, needing to support herself on the wall just to barely stand.

Following behind her was Qiu Ming, who was strutting proudly, his head practically tilted upward, a lewd expression all over his face.

"Wei Miaomeng!" Liou Yuan’s eyes fixed on the exhausted face of the female cultivator, softly calling out her name in his heart.

It was indeed Wei Miaomeng from Shoushan Tower.

The first time he and Qiu Ming went to Shoushan Tower, Qiu Ming was immediately drawn to Wei Miaomeng, unable to move further.

Seeing Wei Miaomeng coming out from Qiu Ming’s cave, he wasn’t surprised at all and shook his head, saying, "Sheng Zeming fell into her hands, naturally, Qiu Ming couldn’t escape this calamity either."

But today, Sheng Zeming, who he was supposed to seek, was entangled with Wei Miaomeng, and now Qiu Ming had also boarded this carriage. Liou Yuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at Wei Miaomeng’s extraordinary methods.

Wei Miaomeng lifted her alluring eyes and naturally noticed Liou Yuan and Xie Miaobo waiting outside Qiu Ming’s cave dwelling.

Her expression remained unchanged, even throwing them a brilliant smile.

Then she adjusted her stance slightly and swayed her graceful figure as she brushed past them.

As the distance between them closed, Liou Yuan vaguely sensed something amiss with the spiritual power inside Wei Miaomeng, more turbulent than when they last met at Shoushan Tower.

Thus, when Wei Miaomeng brushed past him, a trace of purple flashed deep in Liou Yuan’s pupils.

The situation inside Wei Miaomeng’s body was revealed to Liou Yuan in full clarity.

A brown aura was floating in her abdomen, stirring up all of her spiritual power.

Without a doubt, that brown aura was Qiu Ming’s Primordial Yang.

Once she completely absorbed that cluster of Primordial Yang, reaching Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer would be a certainty.

"The method of dual cultivation is truly marvelous," Liou Yuan marveled inwardly.

"Once she breaks through to Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, I can seize the opportunity to show her the Yin Yang Crossing Skill."

"This Wei Miaomeng seems like a natural for dual cultivation, certainly unable to resist the allure of that exquisite dual cultivation Foundation Establishment technique."

Since the fact that Qiu Ming’s Primordial Yang was collected had become reality, Liou Yuan didn’t dwell on it but started plotting on how to offer the Yin Yang Crossing Skill.

While Liou Yuan was pondering over the ways to disclose the Yin Yang Crossing Skill, a deep, muffled voice echoed in his ear.

"Liou Yuan, you came to find me."

Completely unaware of the massive loss he suffered, Qiu Ming cheerily greeted Liou Yuan and Xie Miaobo, stepping forward.

This simpleton, after battling for an hour, still appeared vigorous.

Xie Miaobo, perhaps out of jealousy or for other reasons, sourly reminded, "Did you even activate the array when you’re handling business?"

"Array?" Qiu Ming squinted at Xie Miaobo, winking as he said, "Why activate the array?"

"Outrageous!" Xie Miaobo was completely exasperated.

Liou Yuan, too, barely resisted the urge to kick Qiu Ming, thinking to himself, "Qiu Ming is also suitable for dual cultivation..."

With the Yin Yang Crossing Skill, now everyone seems like dual cultivation material to Liou Yuan.

Nevertheless, these were merely side notes, Liou Yuan hadn’t forgotten the main task, mentioning the matter about going to the third peak to collect a debt.

Upon hearing there might be a fight, Qiu Ming immediately perked up and naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Along with Xie Miaobo’s casual mention of the indescribable matter between Sheng Zeming and Wei Miaomeng.

Qiu Ming’s eyes immediately widened, declaring he would have a good match with him.

Red flames spewed from beneath, scorching the pill furnace in front intensely, generating rolling heat waves.

Now in the midst of summer, the temperature was already high.

With the high temperature of this pill furnace, this part of the cave was even more unbearably hot.

Though Sheng Zeming had been practicing alchemy for years and was used to such heat, he was still sweating profusely, needing to occasionally wipe the sweat pouring down his face with his sleeve. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

However, his expression remained focused, observing the situation of the elixirs inside the pill furnace and controlling the intensity of the flames erupting from beneath.

"This batch of Qi Gathering Elixirs is about to succeed. After consuming this batch, I’m bound to break through to Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer after half a year of seclusion,"

Sheng Zeming’s eyes gleamed with enthusiasm, his heart burning with excitement at the thought of soon reaching Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

His Primordial Yang was lost early, causing considerable hindrance to his cultivation.

Luckily, his aptitude wasn’t low, only slightly slower than the other Four-Star Star Acupoint disciples.

Moreover, being proficient in alchemy, he minimized these deficiencies substantially.

Sheng Zeming was lean, his cheekbones slightly prominent, his eyes carried a hint of craftiness. His hair, however, was meticulously styled, looking well-groomed.

As he calculated the time, estimating when this batch of Qi Gathering Elixirs would be ready.

"Sheng Zeming, get out here!" A robust voice thundered from outside the cave dwelling.

The person’s voice was rough and loud, and with the addition of spiritual power, it reverberated within the cave, deafening.

Startled unexpectedly, Sheng Zeming nearly jumped, momentarily losing control of the pill furnace, causing the temperature to soar.

Almost leading this batch of Qi Gathering Elixirs to ruin.

Fortunately, Sheng Zeming was experienced in alchemy and quickly extinguished the flame within the pill furnace, barely saving this batch of elixirs.

However, the anger from nearly destroying the elixirs couldn’t be restrained at this moment.

"Which bastard dares insult you at Mr. Sheng’s door?" Sheng Zeming cursed, swearing as he opened the door of his cave dwelling.

Sheng Zeming wasn’t the reckless type, anywhere else, if he heard someone cursing, he would definitely be careful.

But here on the third peak, Sheng Zeming thrived with his alchemy skills, becoming well-acquainted.

The Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, even Ninth Layer disciples on the third peak all knew him well.

He could tell that the person cursing wasn’t one of the experts from the third peak.

Bang! The interior of the cave dwelling was brusquely opened by Sheng Zeming.

Standing on the empty ground a dozen yards ahead were two young men.

One was broad and heavily built, his body like a bear, with a face resembling a meat mountain, looking at him with a provocative expression.

The other was tall and slender, dressed in loose white robes, a long sword on his back, with handsome features. His eyes carried a hint of Evil Qi, clearly not a pure-hearted individual.

Seeing that both seemed young, Sheng Zeming not only wasn’t afraid, but even more fearless, turning his eyes before directly pointing at the two and scolding, "You’re in trouble, sparking down your grandpa’s elixirs, you have to compensate."

"Hey!" Liou Yuan looked at the slightly hollow-cheeked young man in front and sneered.

Upon hearing Sheng Zeming’s first sentence, he knew this guy hadn’t forgotten about the White Feather Spirit Medicine, he simply never intended to pay up.

His current behavior had a hint of seizing the opportunity to extort both him and Qiu Ming.

Thankfully, Liou Yuan never expected it would be so easy to retrieve the money.

He disregarded Sheng Zeming’s previous words, playfully returning the eye contact, slowly responding, "Sheng Zeming, pay up."
