Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

15: Section 15Another batch of white powder was finished. Why does this look so much like making ice?

Yun Xiancheng saw the two mounds of powder and couldn’t help but think this. Yun Xiancheng took out some of the powder and placed it on the table.

When the dizziness from overdrawing his mental energy struck, the mental exhaustion caused by excessive alchemy surged upon him, causing him to lose focus for a moment before falling to the ground. He happened to fall into an embrace shimmering with moonlight—the moment Medicine Lady subconsciously caught him, her entire spirit body uncontrollably flushed with a rosy glow.

025 Teasing the Master and Disciple.

The lingering warmth of the green jade Pill Cauldron cast flickering light spots on the cave wall. As Yun Xiancheng’s eyelashes fluttered, he met a pair of eyes swirling with pure white fire patterns.

Medicine Lady’s translucent spirit body shimmered with a clear, lunar radiance. Beneath the illusory skin where his head rested, a river of energy like a galaxy surged—the sensation was as if he had pressed his cheek against a thawing stream in early spring, cool yet permeated with vitality.

Three clusters of white cold fire danced a ritualistic dance in her palm. The milky medicinal liquid was divided into a hundred silver threads, precisely injected into the suet jade bottle carved with coiled patterns.

When refining medicine, Medicine Lady was like a goddess holding a brush to paint the secrets of heaven; even the green smoke rising from the pill furnace spiraled into the shape of a curved phoenix.

At this moment, the youth was resting on Loli Master’s lap. Through her simple gauze dress, he could see the flowing fire reflected from the bronze coiled-dragon cauldron dancing across her collarbone. Medicine Lady’s chest lacked any peaks, being completely flat, yet her slender spirit body was like a glazed cup carved from ice and jade, radiating a breathtaking Beauty.

At this moment, he was resting on Loli Master’s spirit legs. It was precisely because Loli Master’s chest was completely flat that he could take in the full Beauty of his Master refining medicine.

”A strong little fellow.”

The force of Medicine Lady’s flick against his forehead carried a refreshing coolness, just like autumn morning dew falling between his brows.

Yun Xiancheng caught the lingering scent of snow lotus in the air, unsure if it was the vapor from the solidifying medicinal liquid or if his Master’s spirit body could also emit a delicate fragrance. When he turned his head, he discovered that his hair was entangled with his Master’s hanging sash. The gold-threaded medicinal herb pattern embroidered on the plain white satin fabric rose and fell gently with the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

”Fainting halfway through alchemy, this performance can hardly be considered passing.” Medicine Lady condensed an ice crystal at her fingertip and drew a small cross on the youth’s brow.

Yun Xiancheng took the opportunity to catch her slender wrist. The firelight from the Pill Cauldron cast their shadows onto the stalactites, resembling a pair of celestial lovers in a shadow play: ”With Master backing me up, this disciple dared to go all out.”

”Slick-tongued.” The tips of Medicine Lady’s ears flushed a faint red, though the flowing fire patterns on her dress honestly brightened a few shades. ”Do not let it happen again.” ”Master is right to reprimand me.”

The youth rubbed against her lap, and the green jade cauldron reflected his mischievous dimples. ”Master, Senior Brother, it’s late today, are you done yet?”

The sound of Xiao Yan’s toes kicking the threshold of the cave dwelling startled the Pill Cauldron, causing it to hum, and the unsolidified medicinal liquid inside suddenly surged with three feet of green smoke. The girl’s action of rubbing her eyes caused her sleeves to slide down, exposing her fair wrists.

Just as she was halfway through a yawn, the flowing fire patterns on Medicine Lady’s dress suddenly flared, illuminating the cave as if it were daylight.

Xiao Yan’s arrival broke the silent balance between the Master and disciple. Hearing Xiao Yan’s voice.

An Ice Lotus bloomed beneath the girl’s hips. Medicine Lady sitting on the Lotus Platform looked as holy as a Bodhisattva; if one ignored her red ear tips, she would look even more like one. Yun Xiancheng’s green robes swirled with flowing cloud patterns, and his move to spring up from the ground was three parts dashing.

Xiao Yan only managed to see the two Master and disciple separated and did not discover their previous intimate contact. Loli Master gave a light cough and said: ”Your Senior Brother fainted from overexertion; do not emulate him.”

Hearing Loli Master’s instruction, Xiao Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

”It’s getting late, and I should go rest as well.” Yun Xiancheng said to Xiao Yan: ”Go back and tell your uncle that we are preparing to leave the Xiao Family and return to the Cloud Mist Sect.” ”Ah?”

Xiao Yan’s previously sleepy eyes instantly cleared. She ran to Yun Xiancheng, grabbed his hands with both of hers, and asked: ”Senior Brother, are you going back so soon?”

Yun Xiancheng rubbed the girl’s hair and smiled: ”Nalan Yanran still needs to return to the Cloud Mist Sect to cultivate, otherwise, Senior Brother is worried she won’t be able to keep up with you.” Hearing Yun Xiancheng say this, the girl immediately burst into tears and threw herself into Yun Xiancheng’s arms: ”Then Yaner will miss Senior Brother.”

When Xiao Yan lunged over, she brought with her the dampness of the night dew, and the strength of her interlocked fingers betrayed her panic. ”It’s just... is Senior Sister Nalan Yanran... more important than me?”

Seeing the girl’s teary-eyed appearance, Yun Xiancheng found it quite amusing and conceived the idea of teasing her. Thus, Yun Xiancheng flicked the girl’s nose bridge and teased: ”The Three-Year Agreement, don’t let Nalan Yanran leave you too far behind.” ”I won’t!” The golden bells at the girl’s feet chimed crisply, and tears swirled in her eyes, looking very much like a dew-kissed Chinese violet. ”Hey, hey...”

To Yun Xiancheng’s surprise, Medicine Lady suddenly hooked his sleeve, leaving five ice crystal finger marks on the brocade.

Yun Xiancheng saw that her spirit body had covered itself in a rosy glow, which was the blush Loli Master would wear when she was shy.

The moonlight outside the cave happened to spill over the entrance, lengthening the shadows of the three Master and disciple and casting them onto the surface of the Pill Cauldron, like an ink painting being refined. ”Are you really... leaving?”

The rosy glow on the spirit body was more hazy than morning mist. Looking at the little expressions on Medicine Lady and Xiao Yan’s faces, Yun Xiancheng’s heart rate unknowingly accelerated. Master and Junior Sister were too cute. This was different from Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, bringing him a unique sense of Beauty.

”Yes, I’m going back.” ”No.” Medicine Lady frowned and refused: ”I’ve only taught you so much, why are you leaving already?”

”I am, after all, a disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect... I cannot leave the sect for too long.” Yun Xiancheng continued.

Medicine Lady’s eyes immediately dimmed, and then she said: ”You’re fourteen or fifteen years old! Don’t act like a child. People must always venture out into the world.” She gritted her teeth and said seriously: ”I am serious, cultivating by my side... is better than staying in the Cloud Mist Sect.”

Xiao Yan didn’t speak, just looked at the Master, seemingly hoping she could make Yun Xiancheng change his mind.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become heavy, Yun Xiancheng felt he shouldn’t continue teasing. He suddenly spread his arms and pulled the Beauty on the Lotus Platform into his embrace, startling the Nine-Turn Ice Lotus into shedding petals with a rustle.

She didn’t react in time, and her whole body was held in Yun Xiancheng’s arms. ”Then I won’t leave!”

The red veil on Medicine Lady became increasingly apparent, and soon it spread to her face. ”Master is amazing!” Xiao Yan’s voice came from the side, which made Medicine Lady even more shy.

The ice crystals kicked up by Medicine Lady’s toes condensed into star trajectories in the air, but the flush spread from her neck to the corners of her eyes: ”Let... let me down.”

Today’s teasing was a complete success. Seeing the reaction of the Master and disciple, a sense of accomplishment suddenly arose in Yun Xiancheng’s heart. These are my Beauties. Yun Xiancheng thought.

”Let’s go, we’ll go back to rest. Although I won’t leave, on the surface, Yun Xiancheng still has to return, otherwise, if the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect stays in a small city for a long time, bad things will always happen.” Yun Xiancheng said to the two. ”Mm.”

The two beautiful girls nodded in unison like cats. They didn’t care about so much; they only hoped that their disciple/Senior Brother could stay, that was all.

026 Caused by a lack of harem.

The carriage parked in the Xiao Family courtyard eventually left. After leaving the city, it returned with a passing Cloud Mist Sect caravan.

Yun Xiancheng and Nalan Yanran moved into Ya Fei’s auction house, dual cultivating while waiting for the medicinal materials needed by Medicine Lady, and occasionally going to Medicine Lady’s place to prove that he hadn’t left.

More than a month passed by slowly like this.

”What other pretty girls are there in Wutan City? Worth you staying for so long?” Nalan Yanran was wearing a form-fitting nightgown, sitting cross-legged in Yun Xiancheng’s arms, and said with a flushed face. ”Naturally, it is my cute Junior Sister Nalan Yanran.” Saying this, Yun Xiancheng kissed Nalan Yanran for a long while before the two slowly separated.

”These days are actually quite relaxed compared to life within the sect.” Nalan Yanran said with some emotion: ”And the cultivation speed hasn’t fallen behind either; I am now a five-star Dou Practitioner, and I am not far from a six-star Dou Practitioner.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded lightly. Now, his dual cultivation with the girl had replaced ordinary cultivation. From time to time, Xiao Mei would also spend the night at the auction house. The three-fold and five-fold cultivation speeds made their progress very pleasing even without using any external objects when the three of them cultivated.

Realm: Dou Qi Ninth Stage. favorability: 100 / 100 (Two plants reflect the sun, locking vermilion; twin flowers receive grace, soul of the jade palace.) Intimacy: 80 / 100 (Nine peaks leave dreams, condensing fragrant marrow; six palaces clear dew, moistening the spiritual root.) Nalan Yanran. Realm: Dou Practitioner Five-star. favorability: 100 / 100 (Hearts united, self-binding ice shadows; understanding speech, born with traces under the moon.) Intimacy: 80 / 100 (Do not speak of E-Ying’s eternal story; this body was originally in the Purple Palace Gate.)

Xiao Mei’s progress was quite pleasing. In the original work, she cultivated for nearly a year to reach the Dou Qi Eighth Stage. After spending a good night with him, she reached the Dou Qi Eighth Stage directly. After her basic talent increased, and with occasional five-fold speed overnight cultivation, it took about a month or so to break through to the Dou Qi Ninth Stage.

The Xiao Family would most likely give her a portion of Qi Gathering Powder, and basically, breaking through to Dou Practitioner was already inevitable. His own woman’s progress was pleasing, and Yun Xiancheng was also very satisfied.

One-tenth of their cultivation would be fed back to him, and combined with the three-fold and five-fold cultivation multipliers during the period, Yun Xiancheng’s Realm also steadily reached the two-star Dou Master from a one-star Dou Master.

”Awake?” Unlike the decadent two Young Sect Leaders of the Cloud Mist Sect, Ya Fei, because she had to organize the auction, was obviously much more overworked. Her beautiful face had some dark circles, which made Yun Xiancheng feel very distressed when he saw them.

”Mm, Sister Ya Fei has been quite busy lately, and you’ve even developed dark circles.” He leaned in front of Ya Fei, took the initiative to hug her, and said.

”Then could you be quieter in the middle of the night?” Ya Fei said unhappily. Because of Yun Xiancheng’s request, Ya Fei only converted her room into two small separate rooms. The soundproofing effect could be imagined.

Nalan Yanran’s small face flushed, and she hurriedly said: ”This isn’t my fault; it’s all because Senior Brother wants me to do this every day.”

”It’s fine, it’s fine, Sister doesn’t blame you. It’s just that the auction recently obtained a Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Method. Sister thinks this cultivation method can be sold for a good price, and has been somewhat racking my brains over it.” Ya Fei also said. At this time, she suddenly smiled: ”This cultivation method is also wind-attributed. Why don’t you two learn it secretly now?”

A Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Method is already considered one of the top-tier cultivation methods in the Jia Ma Empire. Although the Cloud Mist Sect is the most powerful sect in the Jia Ma Empire, it really does not have any Earth-Rank Technique.

”Stones from other hills can serve to polish the jade of this one; thank you, Sister.” Regarding this, Yun Xiancheng did not refuse. After all, being able to become stronger is a matter of principle.

”Senior Brother is being a bit unkind.” Nalan Yanran also sat up and said to Senior Brother. ”Learning a cultivation method takes a long while, and it might not necessarily fit with one’s own cultivation method. What’s the use of looking at it?”

She watched as Ya Fei took out a cyan scroll from her storage ring and said to Yun Xiancheng beside her. ”I am just borrowing it for reference; what if my talent is superb and I learn something new?”

After reading a bit, Yun Xiancheng had some insights. Corresponding with his own cultivation method, he actually found some points that could be corrected. [Beep, detected that the host’s state has changed to comprehending a cultivation method; briefly adding a buff of greatly increased comprehension to the host.] The system’s notification sound suddenly came to his ears.

For a moment, he felt his brain become flexible, his thinking became faster, and comparing his two cultivation methods, countless realizations were naturally born.

He began to close his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his energy. ”Senior Brother really…”

Nalan Yanran saw Yun Xiancheng like this and immediately looked at Ya Fei.

Ya Fei nodded, knowing that the little gentleman was at a critical juncture, and hurriedly walked to the door to stand guard, fearing that someone would come in and disturb him. Nalan Yanran also sat cross-legged beside Yun Xiancheng to protect him.

About a few minutes passed.

[Comprehension enhancement state has been lifted... Please host, recruit more harem members and expand your harem to experience more system functions.]

Yun Xiancheng slowly opened his eyes, listening to the system’s broadcast with some half-annoyance. He had finally experienced the feeling of being interrupted at the climax.

When the cultivation method comprehension was about to reach its climax, this notification suddenly came. What difference is there between this and a video suddenly starting to buffer while watching an adult movie?

However, based on these previous insights, he had improved the Cloud Mist Technique. Although it didn’t reach the level of Earth-Rank Initial, it should be Quasi-Earth-Rank.

”I do have some talent, after all.” Yun Xiancheng spoke, smiling slightly: ”Nalan Yanran, let me explain it to you.”

Hearing this statement, Nalan Yanran looked at her Senior Brother with some surprise, then obediently knelt on the cushion, listening to her Senior Brother explain how to correct the Cloud Mist Technique.

Ya Fei also knelt on the cushion, listening to the little gentleman’s lecture with a smile. ”Although it didn’t reach Earth-Rank, I feel it is far superior to many Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Methods.”

After Nalan Yanran corrected the cultivation method with her Senior Brother, she experienced the new changes in the cultivation method and said. ”Quasi-Earth-Rank, then.”

Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly. If the comprehension buff had lasted longer, it might have been Earth-Rank Initial. It was fate; it was all caused by having too few harem members. He must work harder to get Sister Ya Fei into bed.

Yun Xiancheng looked at the smiling Ya Fei beside him and strengthened his conviction.

”Little brother’s look at me has changed a bit.” Ya Fei smiled slightly.

”Because I want to hug you, Sister.”
