Chapter 84: Chapter 1: Yin Yang Dao Foundation, Advancing to Foundation Establishment

“We must treat her immediately!”

Zhou Chen wasn’t a person bound by convention. His gaze swept over her beautiful face, and he gently tore open the clothes on Sword Hero’s chest.

Beneath the black robes was a light blue inner armor, much like the Black Silkworm Divine Armor Zhou Chen had chosen at the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The inner armor had already been torn in three places, and threads of fresh blood seeped from the claw marks.

“The second-tier Double-headed Yin Yang Flood Dragon, comparable to the Divine Power Realm, is indeed formidable!”

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly, but his hands moved swiftly.

The Thunder Light Ruyi Hand emphasized speed.

It could even numb the injured, making them feel no pain, like an anesthetic.

Zhou Chen supported Sword Hero, removed her inner armor, revealing her alluring curves before gently laying her back down.

Before him was her chest, torn by the Double-headed Yin Yang Flood Dragon’s claw, with layers of white silk stained red with blood.

Gently, Zhou Chen pulled it off, exposing the gruesome, bone-deep wound.

“She’s seriously injured!”

Zhou Chen took out a bottle of healing ointment, scooped up some with his fingers, and applied it to the wound, using the Thunder Light Ruyi Hand.

Don’t be fooled by the seeming lack of attack power in Thunder Light Ruyi Hand; as a divine technique, its wondrous uses are endless, especially in close-combat grasping and shaping healing.

As the medicine took effect, combined with the massaging restorative power of the Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, the bone-deep wound healed quickly before Zhou Chen’s eyes.

Suddenly.

Zhou Chen noticed Sword Hero’s body seemed to stiffen briefly, and he saw this seemingly cold and merciless Female War God’s pale skin gradually turn a shade of pink.

“Awake?”

Feeling moved, Zhou Chen didn’t expose her and continued the treatment.

After one incense stick’s time.

The wound had completely disappeared, leaving not even a scar, perfectly restored, smooth and delicate.

Zhou Chen wiped the blood with a towel, her skin becoming like white jade, gleaming with radiance, flawless.

“This claw wound is healed, but now I have to reconnect the many broken bones caused by the Double-headed Yin Yang Flood Dragon’s tail…”

Zhou Chen lifted Sword Hero’s fair arm, exerting strength with his palm.

Crack!

The fractured and dislocated arm realigned, then quickly healed under Zhou Chen’s Thunder Light Ruyi Hand.

Arms complete.

Then the legs.

Finally, the crucial spine and ribs.

Fortunately, Sword Hero’s physique was powerful, her body strong. If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, their fate would be sealed.

After a full half hour, Zhou Chen finally restored Sword Hero’s broken bones to their original state.

However, Zhou Chen didn’t stop; he continued the rehabilitation massage treatment.

Another incense stick’s time later.

A strange sensation swept through her body, and Sword Hero couldn’t help but open her eyes, saying softly:

“I’m already healed!”

“Is that so?”

Zhou Chen smiled awkwardly, reluctantly withdrawing his hand, the lingering fragrance on his fingertips.

He realized it wasn’t just Bai Lian, the scheming woman, who was a treasure, but Sword Hero was equally so.

Healing Sword Hero’s injuries increased Zhou Chen’s Wind and Moon Points by over ten thousand.

Not a loss!

If only I could…

“Do you really like my body?”

Looking into Zhou Chen’s eyes, Sword Hero suddenly spoke.

“I was just treating your injuries!”

Zhou Chen feigned seriousness, gazing at Sword Hero’s cold yet heroic face, and chuckled:

“Besides, who wouldn’t like a stunning beauty like you?”

“If I weren’t holding onto the last thread of decency, I might have taken advantage!”

Sword Hero didn’t quite understand the meaning of ’taking advantage,’ but from the context, she could guess.

Yet at this moment, how was it different from ’taking advantage’? Just a final step was missing.

“Why did you save me?”

Sword Hero was perplexed. Zhou Chen didn’t seize her body; then why save her?

If she died, Zhou Chen could claim all her treasures, which would better fit his interests.

“Perhaps I have a soft spot for beauty!”

Zhou Chen laughed self-mockingly. He wasn’t a good person, but perhaps influenced by past lives, seeing a great beauty like Sword Hero, he couldn’t bear to ignore her plight.

He glanced at Sword Hero’s majestic front and couldn’t help but be curious, “Why do you bind such beautiful things with white silk?”

Sword Hero stared blankly at Zhou Chen and murmured:

“Do you truly think I’m beautiful?”

Her mind wandered to her past experiences.

Born with Sword Bone, taken in by Ye Lingtian from a young age.

Started martial arts at six, perfected the Body Refining Ninth Layer at eighteen, and reached the Twelfth Body Refining Transformation this year at twenty-eight.

Raised as a man, her life was only practice and brutal training, fighting with wolves in confined spaces.

She was like a soldier focused solely on training and killing, devoid of emotion.

Despite being ranked second on the Hundred Flowers List, no one at the Celestial Sword Sect ever complimented her beauty.

All she saw was awe and fear.

She was solitary, like a lone wolf.

Though outsiders dazzled by her might admire her initially, her mere glance would terrify them.

This was her first prolonged proximity to a man, her whole body seen by Zhou Chen during healing.

When realigning taught bones…

Zhou Chen found Sword Hero’s unusual gaze peculiar, wondering if this woman had mental issues.

“If you weren’t beautiful, I might not have saved you!”

Not bothering to ponder further, Zhou Chen joked, “Perhaps you want to offer yourself…”

“Don’t speak!”

Sword Hero suddenly placed her hand on Zhou Chen’s lips, leaving him perplexed as she suddenly declared:

“Take me!”

“???”

Three large question marks appeared on Zhou Chen’s forehead.

He wondered if Sword Hero’s mind had truly been addled by the Double-headed Yin Yang Flood Dragon, acting so peculiarly.

No.

Perhaps she was initially impaired.

“Uh…”

Just as Zhou Chen intended to speak, his mouth was silenced by her soft lips.

Zhou Chen hadn’t anticipated Sword Hero’s boldness.

Such madness.

“Has Sword Hero surrendered to my irresistible charm?”

“Damn! My unchecked appeal!”

Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, Sword Hero tightly embraced Zhou Chen’s head, awkwardly kissing him.

It’s not that Zhou Chen’s charm is overwhelming.

Nor is it that Sword Hero desires every man she sees.

It’s because Sword Hero grew up under harsh and rigorous training, raised by her master Jian Lingtian to be like a man, never truly knowing what it was like to be a girl.

She hadn’t even worn women’s clothing before.

This time, surviving a close call and experiencing intimate contact with Zhou Chen, her frozen heart was shaken, especially her rebellious spirit burning fiercely.

She wanted to truly be a woman!

When a woman goes mad, it’s scarier than a man.

Like Diao Baifeng, who, to get revenge on Duan Zhengchun, even targeted Duan Yanqing.

Although Sword Hero met Zhou Chen for the first time, Zhou Chen saved her and had an intimate connection with her.

For the solitary Sword Hero, apart from her master, Zhou Chen was the man she had the deepest and most connection with.

Besides, Zhou Chen was also so handsome.

“This isn’t me taking advantage of a vulnerable person!”

Zhou Chen didn’t hold back, as this was Sword Hero voluntarily taking the initiative.

However, Sword Hero was a rookie, knowing nothing and understanding nothing, like a complete novice, ignorant and illiterate.

Luckily, Zhou Chen had rich teaching experience, solid theoretical and practical skills, patiently guiding Sword Hero, and imparting all his knowledge to her without reservation.

Although Zhou Chen didn’t know why Sword Hero was so proactive, he could feel that Sword Hero just wanted to do so.

She had no other ulterior motives.

Unlike Bai Lian and White Lotus, who were full of malicious schemes, approaching him only with treacherous intentions.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chen also wanted the same.

Perfect match.

“The Yin Yang Forget River Flower contains deadly poison. To transform it into a miraculous medicine, one must utilize the principle of Yin and Yang’s mutual creation and destruction…”

Zhou Chen took out the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, a study of its uses long established in this world, and not a secret among major powers.

The Cyan Cloud Sect’s Library has records of it.

However, it only records the most basic use of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower.

The Yin Yang Forget River Flower must be consumed by both a man and a woman together.

Man represents Yang; woman represents Yin.

The man consumes the black flower containing the ultimate Yin power.

The woman consumes the red flower containing the ultimate Yang power.

Both engage in dual cultivation, using the principle of Yin and Yang’s mutual creation and destruction to transform this deadly flower into a supreme spirit elixir.

“Come on, open your mouth!”

Zhou Chen plucked the black flower of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, swallowed it whole, its taste slightly bitter, then instructs Sword Hero.

Sword Hero instinctively opens her mouth, and the red flower of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower is shoved into her mouth by Zhou Chen, and she swallows it instinctively.

“You’re giving me the Yin Yang Forget River Flower?”

Sword Hero regains consciousness, somewhat surprised.

Although Zhou Chen obtained the Yin Yang Forget River Flower because she risked her life to slay the Double-headed Yin Yang Flood Dragon.

But Zhou Chen saved her life; she felt reluctant to ask Zhou Chen to repay her.

She hadn’t intended to take back the Yin Yang Forget River Flower.

“Don’t speak!”

Zhou Chen bowed his head, capturing Sword Hero’s rosy lips.

The medicinal power of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower began to violently disseminate within their bodies, Zhou Chen felt as if he plunged into an endless ice cellar, his entire body chilled.

Frost rapidly condensed on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

The medicinal power of the Yang flower within Sword Hero explosively erupted, burning like molten lava in her stomach, her entire body hot and red, akin to a cooked shrimp.

Zhou Chen and Sword Hero could no longer dwell on other thoughts; at this moment, one was Yin, one was Yang, one cold, one hot. Only by cooperating could they refine the medicinal power of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower.

Their dual cultivation turned the cave into a sea of thick mist hitting scorching iron, concealing visibility.

Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi guarded the cave entrance, masking the actions inside from detection and potential trouble.

They vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, safeguarding the pair, eliminating all possible dangers.

Currently, Ji Fengxia has reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining, and Liu Ruyi has also reached the Sixth-Layer Qi Refining, progressing rapidly.

Although they might not surpass the Body Refining Ninth Layer in battle power, in terms of Illusion Technique and perception, even the Divine Power Realm falls short.

In matters of the soul, they excel professionally.

Especially in the early stages of the Martial Dao, the soul is the weakest aspect of a martial artist.

Zhou Chen and Sword Hero devotedly focused on refining the medicinal power of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower.

The ultimate Yang power of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, after passing through Sword Hero, was tempered by her inherent feminine Yin attribute and entered Zhou Chen without being too savagely hot.

Likewise.

The ultimate Yin power of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, after passing through Zhou Chen, was tempered by his inherent masculine Yang attribute, entering Sword Hero without being so cold and chilling.

The Yin Yang Forget River Flower’s Yin and Yang flowers and Zhou Chen and Sword Hero, like two pairs of Yin and Yang, alternate, circulate, forming a grand cycle of Yin and Yang.

Feeling the majestic medicinal power, Zhou Chen pondered using it to enhance his Immortal Dao cultivation.

He once read in the Lotus Ancestor’s notes that the Foundation Establishment Realm is divided into three, six, and nine ranks, with the strongest Dao Foundation forged using the Yin Yang Forget River Flower.

This is the foundation of the Great Dao, limitless in potential.

He had already reached Qi Refining Ninth-Layer Great Perfection, only missing the Foundation Establishment.

Now was a heaven-sent opportunity.

Missing Heaven’s gift.

Brings its own blame.

Time ticked away slowly.

Nourished by the powerful medicinal force of the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, Zhou Chen’s aura grew stronger and stronger.

Yin and Yang merge, water and fire blend.

Magical Power within Zhou Chen’s Dantian had already gathered to the extreme, boundless at the utmost point.

Yet, the barrier to the Foundation Establishment Realm was like that thin membrane of a virgin, obstructing Zhou Chen’s elevation.

“Just a little more…”

Zhou Chen didn’t rush; if necessary, he had one last trick.

Add points.

Though he didn’t have a million points, with the Yin Yang Forget River Flower, he was only a step away from Foundation Establishment, reducing the Wind and Moon Points required considerably.

“Yin Yang Dao Foundation… Yin Yang…”

Suddenly, Zhou Chen thought of the Black and White Tai Chi Diagram, his eyes growing brighter.

Yin and Yang united, Tai Chi spins.

Magical Power within Zhou Chen’s Dantian was already at the limit, splitting into two streams, rotating in different directions yet appearing as one, resembling a Tai Chi diagram.

A golden crow rose from within the ocean of Magical Power in the Dantian, followed closely by a jade rabbit.

The golden crow and jade rabbit were like the two spots of Tai Chi.

A black and white lotus flower in the shape of Tai Chi formed, the golden crow and jade rabbit positioned at its center, and the lotus flower slowly spun.

A mysterious and powerful aura emanated, the barrier that impeded Zhou Chen’s advancement was dramatically shattered.

Zhou Chen successfully elevated.

Foundation Establishment complete.

Foundation of the Great Dao.

Sword Hero shocked, abruptly opened her eyes.

“This is…”
