Chapter 44: Cloud Moon Gu, Yin-Yang Energy

The situation was urgent. There was no time to enjoy the warmth.

He let her hug him like this, exchanging the cold poison and Yang Qi where their bodies were in close contact.

Next, he took out the Cloud Shadow Gu and the Flower Moon Gu in his storage space, activating his spiritual essence and refining them.

The Cloud Shadow Gu was a high quality Gu worm, so refining it was not an easy task.

Not to mention that he also had to divert his attention to control the few forces in his body.

A slight mistake could cause an accident.

Thus, Fang Yuan was very serious this time.

For a moment, he forgot that there was a peerless beauty hugging him.

Wan Qian, who was in his arms, was surprised when she saw Fang Yuan not moving.

She turned around and saw that he was refining Gu at this time!

What was going on?

Did she misunderstand him?

But seeing Fang Yuan’s serious expression, she could not ask.

As time passed, Fang Yuan still did not have any intention of attacking her, so Wan Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

The disgust she felt towards Fang Yuan also disappeared.

At this moment, a golden light shone.

Under the gaze of the two of them, the bodies of the two Gu worms became transparent bit by bit. Their blood vessels, limbs, and organs gradually fused together, and their forms slowly changed.

Countless silver-white rays of light shone, beginning to outline a brand new body structure.

Finally, along with the system’s notification, the fusion finally came to an end.

[Ding, your Cloud Shadow Gu and Flower Moon Gu have successfully fused, becoming the Cloud Moon Gu. (Secondary Platinum Grade!)]

[Your Cloud Moon Gu has obtained a new skill — Yin-yang Convergence!]

[Yin-yang Convergence] : Every time you dual cultivate or learn a dual cultivation method, you will obtain a large increase in efficiency, and during the cultivation process, there will be a probability of obtaining Yin-Yang energy.

After refining, the Cloud Moon Gu easily jumped into Fang Yuan’s acupoints.

In the next moment, a warm current rose in his acupoints, enveloping a portion of Fang Yuan’s Yang Qi and the cold poison he had absorbed.

This was the new skill beginning to take effect.

Although he and Wan Qian were not currently dual cultivating, with the help of the Cloud Moon Gu’s skill, they could already combine the Yin and Yang auras in their bodies for their own use, so it was not much different from dual cultivation in essence.

It was just that cultivating it consumed a lot of energy, and it was not as good as using dual cultivation methods.

But it was better than nothing.

He could not ask Wan Qian to practice the dual cultivation method called Hong Zhao with him right now.

It was too late.

Soon, under the influence of the Cloud Moon Gu’s skill, the cold poison and the Yang Qi fused together.

The blue and orange colors interweaved and clashed, but they quickly disappeared due to the difference in attributes.

Only a small part of it could successfully fused, turning into a thin line of dark purple.

“How should I use it?”

Fang Yuan was a little puzzled.

This purple Qi looked ordinary. He had never checked the information related to dual cultivation before, so he did not know what effect it had.

Therefore, he raised his hand and condensed a wisp of purple Qi in his palm, placing it beside the two of them. He asked, “Senior, do you know what this is?”

Fang Yuan’s actions caused friction between the two of them.

Wan Qian thought that he was going to let go of her, so she subconsciously hugged him tighter, afraid that he would see everything.

However, when she saw Fang Yuan’s hand, she realized that she was thinking too much. Her pretty face could not help but blush.

After looking at it for a while, she slowly shook her head.

“I don’t know either.”

“Is that so? Looks like I can only go to the scripture depository to look for information.”

Fang Yuan felt a little regretful. There were too many books in the scripture depository, and it was very troublesome to find them. It seemed that the purple Qi could not be used for the time being.

Wan Qian felt the hot air that Fang Yuan spat out when he spoke, and a shy feeling kept growing in her heart. She stole a glance at him and said softly, “Perhaps, you can check the book that I gave you before.”

“We’ll talk about it when we have time.”

Fang Yuan could not turn the book over now. After withdrawing the purple Qi back into his acupoints, he asked, “How do you feel?”

Wan Qian did not say anything. She just hugged him gently and did not let go.

Fang Yuan chuckled and reminded her, “Next, I have to circulate my Yang Qi with all my might and try my best to absorb all the cold poison in your veins. If you can’t stand it, just remind me.”

“What about you?”

Wan Qian’s red lips parted slightly. “Aren’t you afraid of the cold poison?”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Fang Yuan circulated his aura. “Get ready!”

“Hey… wait a minute…”

Wan Qian suddenly stopped him.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Wan Qian lowered her head and whispered, “Can you… turn around and turn your back to me? I’m not used to this…”

“Sure.”

Fang Yuan agreed to her request without hesitation.

However, just as he was about to move, Wan Qian hugged him again and refused to let go, as if she was worried that he would do something overboard when he saw her body.

“Close your eyes, I’ll do it myself…” Wan Qian added.

Fang Yuan could not help but find it funny when he heard her trembling voice.

Was he the kind of person who had poor control?

She really was underestimating him.

After closing his eyes, Wan Qian finally let go of her hands that had been hugging him the whole time.

As she left, he could not feel the softness on his chest. At the same time, the transmission channel between the two of them was also cut off.

The cold poison was stirring again.

However, after Wan Qian absorbed Fang Yuan’s Yang Qi, she was able to temporarily suppress the cold poison in her body and regain a certain degree of mobility.

Then, Wan Qian sat down with her back facing Fang Yuan and leaned against him.

When she was ready, Fang Yuan calmed his heart and continued to cultivate.

Time passed little by little.

The purple Qi condensed in his acupoints grew steadily, gradually forming a small ball and sinking into the sea of liquid spiritual essence.

However, Wan Qian’s physical condition improved step by step due to the reduction of the cold poison.

At least now that Fang Yuan had come into contact with her, he no longer had the bone-chilling feeling he had at the beginning.

[Ding, your Cloud Moon Gu has absorbed a large amount of cold poison and has leveled up to tier 2!]

In the end, it had still leveled up.

There was no danger in breaking through now, but it was a pity that it did not obtain any skills.

Fang Yuan did not mind. He stood up and stretched out his somewhat stiff body with his back facing Wan Qian.

“Senior, there shouldn’t be much cold poison left in your body, right?”

“Yes…”

Wan Qian also slowly stood up and took out a new white dress from her storage bracelet to put on. Then she said, “With your Yang Qi restraining it, the cold poison shouldn’t relapse for a month.”

“This is only a temporary cure. My Yang Qi has been depleted by more than half. I definitely won’t be able to recover within a month.”

Fang Yuan also took out his clothes and put them on, turning around to look at her curvaceous back. “There is a Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm near Fanshu City. There should be a Yang type Gu worm inside. I can go there and try my luck.”

“No, it is too dangerous, there is no need to take such a risk for me.”

“Not just for you, but also for myself.” Fang Yuan said slowly, “I have the Moonlight Gu in my body. If I want to collect the Stunlight Gu, which is also one of the Three Talented Gu, I have to go to a place with dense fire element, and the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm is the only possibility.”

Wan Qian turned around when she heard this, her gaze colliding with Fang Yuan’s as he sized her up. For a moment, images of her embracing him kept appearing in her mind.

She lowered her eyes, her thoughts turning back and forth, and finally only said two words.

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I was planning to come back and dual cultivate with you,” Fang Yuan joked.

Unexpectedly, Wan Qian did not have any intention of rejecting him. Although she did not explicitly agree, judging from her undisgusted expression, she did not seem to resist.

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, waved his hand with his back facing her, and walked away.

Next, he had to make preparations to enter the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm..
