"A thousand years ago, I wouldn't have been able to," Wang Mu said as he rose to his feet, continuing to carry Mu Hongyuan forward. "I've only started learning these skills in recent years."

Mu Hongyuan was momentarily speechless. "Then you're quite impressive…"

She paused, then asked, "Have you ever done this to that girl Bi You before?"

"No," Wang Mu spoke the truth.

Bi You was always the one to initiate. And mainly, it was for the purpose of cultivation…

"I don't believe it," Mu Hongyuan snorted coldly. "You two must have been intimate... Never mind, I won't argue about it. Try circulating the Yin and Yang Qi in your body to see if it can merge."

Wang Mu did as Mu Hongyuan instructed and circulated the energies.

Surprisingly, he found that the Yin and Yang Qi could slightly merge even when he wasn't in that Illusion Realm.

Although the process was extremely slow, it meant that the Yin Yang Harmony Diagram could be cultivated.

Interesting.

"Hmph, you really have no talent for cultivation," Mu Hongyuan curled her lip. "I don't know how you managed to cultivate the Four Seasons Yin Yang Palm to that level back then. You've been carrying me for so long and never even thought to try it."

Wang Mu pondered. Carrying Mu Hongyuan, all he could really feel was her softness. He hadn't dwelled on other matters, nor had he given much thought to cultivation at that moment.

"The merging of Yin and Yang Qi represents the transformation of Yin and Yang, and Mixed Element Energy can be converted into Spiritual Power of any required attribute. Cultivation, on the other hand, requires the power formed by the alternation of Yin and Yang."

"You are about to condense your Golden Core. If you can successfully cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram to the second layer, the condensed Mixed Element Energy will help you cultivate the Primordial Golden Pill."

Mu Hongyuan explained to Wang Mu as they traveled, "You practice the Hundred Refinement Body Technique; though you lack a Spirit Root, your body contains the Ten Great Spirit Acupoints. This means your upper limit will always be higher than others, do you understand?"

"After reaching the Golden Core Realm, you can even condense ten Golden Cores, one in each Spirit Acupoint. The Hundred Refinement Body Technique isn't as simple as you think."

"At the same cultivation stage, if you possess ten Golden Cores, you could even instantly kill a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

"And the first Golden Core you condense, the Primordial Golden Pill, will be able to convert its energy into Spiritual Power of any attribute, allowing you to practice Cultivation Techniques of various attributes."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu was instantly amazed.

His body was this powerful? Ten Golden Cores?

"Besides, you also possess the Heaven and Earth Divine Flame and the Primordial Mystic Heavy Water Essence. You can use these to condense Golden Cores of different attributes."

"At that time, you will be able to master Innate Five Elements, Yin Yang transformations, and Circulation Sword Dao," Mu Hongyuan continued.

"However, this path will be much more difficult."

Wang Mu had a realization.

"Are you doing this to help me cultivate?" Wang Mu suddenly asked.

"Me, the Supreme Master of the Fengyue Sect, help you, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with your cultivation?" Mu Hongyuan scoffed. "You flatter yourself. I'm just bored and making casual conversation."

Wang Mu was speechless.

Primordial Golden Pill.

「Two days later」

Wang Mu, still carrying Mu Hongyuan, arrived at the Sword Sect. Using the identity of Dongfang Mu, he once again visited Sect Master Jian Wuqing.

Surprised by Dongfang Mu's return, Jian Wuqing personally came out from Gu Yun Mountain to greet him.

"Senior, I remember last time you were… by that person from the Dan King Sect…" Jian Wuqing looked at the extraordinarily handsome and imposing man before him, whose eyes seemed to hold countless transformations, profound and mysterious.

It was rather amusing; although he was a dignified Divinity Transformation cultivator, he inexplicably felt a sense of pressure before this man—a pressure that seemed to emanate from heaven and earth itself.

"Oh, that matter has been settled," Wang Mu replied indifferently. "I came this time merely to visit the Sword Sect. I've heard that your Alcohol Sword Peak boasts countless fine wines, and I wished to come and taste some."

"Naturally, that is possible," Jian Wuqing said, then suddenly glanced at the red-robed woman beside Wang Mu. "And this lady is?"

Wang Mu was about to speak.

"I am his Taoist couple," Mu Hongyuan said with a charming smile. "I'm Mu Hongxue. By the way, I know your Sword Sect's Yan Sword Immortal; we're old friends from many years ago."

Jian Wuqing was inwardly shocked. Taoist couple? Does Dongfang Mu have a Taoist couple? I've never heard of it. And she even knows Elder Yan?

"Well, Elder Yan is in seclusion, so I'm afraid she won't be able to meet you both…"

"No matter…" Mu Hongyuan smiled faintly. "Just tell her after she comes out of seclusion that we visited. Oh, and be sure to clearly state our identities; otherwise, she might not remember us."

Jian Wuqing nodded, sensing that something wasn't quite right, yet he couldn't voice his doubts.

Wang Mu opened his mouth… but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The two entered the Sword Sect and proceeded to Alcohol Sword Peak.

The elder of Alcohol Sword Peak, Zhong Xiao, personally received them.

"May I know which fine wines the two of you would like to taste?" Zhong Xiao asked. "As long as it's a renowned wine in the Huangtian Continent, we have it here."

This wasn't an exaggeration. Since ancient times, wine and sword have been inseparable. The fine wines of the Sword Sect were absolutely second to none in the entire Huangtian Continent.

"Sky Cliff Choking Wine, Carefree Brew, Bitter Love Hundred Flowers Brew... these are all renowned wines of our Alcohol Sword Peak," Zhong Xiao said with a smile.

"That's impressive. I've heard of a famous wine called Three-Life Fate..." Mu Hongyuan suddenly said. "Does your Alcohol Sword Peak have it?"

Wang Mu was momentarily stunned.

Zhong Xiao laughed heartily. "Oh, we naturally have it, but there's only a small jar left, and it has been sealed away. If the two of you wish to drink it, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another year."

"Why wait another year?" Mu Hongyuan was taken aback and gave Wang Mu a strange look.

"Because the ingredients are scarce," Zhong Xiao explained with a sigh. "This wine was commissioned by an inner sect disciple who entrusted us with its brewing; we don't possess the ingredients ourselves."
