Chapter 895 : A Dance of Yin and Ambition
If Eldrin Chen were to refine this pill using the dual cultivation method now, and also receive the power of Nyssa Qu's maiden Primordial Yin [the pure, foundational feminine energy of a cultivator's first union], his cultivation would likely advance by leaps and bounds.
Not only would he step directly into the Primordial Spirit 3rd Tier, but he would also save himself a thousand years of effort in accumulating spiritual power, propelling him far along this new path.
With this thought, Exquisite Jiang couldn't help but glance at Violet Consort Yan once more. Others might not know, but she was well aware that her close friend had harbored unusual feelings for Eldrin Chen for thousands of years.
Returning to the matter at hand, after hearing his words, Nyssa Qu's face flushed slightly. She replied with a shy blush, "If I could become your Dao Companion, Young Master, it would be a wish fulfilled."
"There is no need for that,"
Eldrin Chen shook his head, then continued, "Even if Fellow Daoist Qu is willing to be my companion, to proceed now would feel like taking advantage of the situation. Why not discuss this again after the coming battle?"
"You blockhead!"
Witnessing this, Violet Consort Yan gritted her pearly white teeth.
Bound by her long-standing friendship with Exquisite Jiang, she dared not voice her thoughts. Seeing that Eldrin Chen had not even accepted Nyssa Qu's offer, she felt she had even less right to speak up.
Thus, she immediately sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Polarity Co-Cultivation Pill [a pill designed to harmonize and amplify the energies of two cultivators during dual cultivation], and began her secluded cultivation. Seeing this, the others also took their Precious Pill [a general term for high-grade cultivation-enhancing pills] and commenced their own practice.

Only Verdant Consort and Lila had not consumed the Precious Pill. Lila's cultivation had now reached the Infant Soul 3rd Tier; even if she took the Precious Pill, it would not help her break through the bottleneck to the Infant Soul 4th Tier.
It was better to save the Precious Pill for her to consume later when she reached the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm].
As for Verdant Consort, she possessed the aptitude to ascend to immortality. Preserving her primordial yin purity [the state of a female cultivator's untouched vital essence] would allow their future dual cultivation [a practice where two cultivators harmonize their energies] after both achieved immortality to significantly advance Eldrin Chen's cultivation.
This strategy might prove crucial in confronting the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world], which was why they dared not cross that final boundary.
Meanwhile, after Eldrin Chen ingested the Syncretic Polarity Pill [a pill designed to harmonize opposing energies], he prepared to engage in dual cultivation with Exquisite Jiang to refine its power.
But at that very moment, a torrent of scorching heat erupted within him, and an overwhelming, primal desire flooded his mind.
"This is..."
Eldrin Chen's expression shifted. He noticed then that Exquisite Jiang beside him was flushed with a deep crimson hue, while the skin of both Violet Consort Yan and Nyssa Qu had taken on a rosy pink tint, their eyes glistening with an intoxicating allure.
In an instant, he understood the pill's true effect and, through a flash of divine insight, grasped the threads of Karma [the cosmic principle of cause and effect] woven into this moment.
It turned out that hundreds of thousands of years prior, the Syncretic Patriarch had faintly foreseen this cataclysm and had prepared his countermeasures with meticulous thoroughness.
Though he did not know the exact nature of the impending calamity, nor had he divined who would ultimately obtain this Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's understanding of their chosen Dao], he was naturally unwilling to let half the efficacy of the Syncretic Polarity Pill [a legendary pill designed for dual cultivation, harmonizing opposing energies] go to waste.
Thus, within the Polarity Co-Cultivation Pill [another name for the Syncretic Polarity Pill], he laid down certain contingencies. His intent was to compel his successors to refine this pill through dual cultivation, unleashing its full miraculous potential to quell the coming Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial or disaster] and thereby settle his own Karma [the cosmic law of cause and effect, governing a being's destiny].
"Alas!"
Gazing upon the three women, their faces flushed and radiant with desire, Eldrin Chen let out a sigh. He then glanced at Verdant Consort and Lila. "Stand guard for us," he instructed.
"..."
When Eldrin Chen finally surfaced from the sea of passion, he found himself upon the Blissful Soul-Dissolving Couch [an enchanted couch that amplifies pleasure and spiritual connection], a woman of exquisite beauty and voluptuous softness lying beneath him.
Her features were peerlessly lovely. Her snow-white skin was flushed a deep crimson, and she still clung to him, seeking further union, lost in the depths of desire. She appeared utterly ravishing, a blossom drenched in dew.
"Violet Consort Yan..."
Eldrin Chen felt an overwhelming sense of blissful satisfaction. His gaze then fell upon the graceful, alluring forms of Nyssa Qu and Exquisite Jiang lying not far away. A ripple of desire stirred within him once more, yet it was quickly followed by a wave of complex emotions.
Hastily steadying his mind and spirit, Eldrin Chen then perceived the vast, majestic power of his own spiritual energy circulating within. Interwoven with it was an immense, potent force of Primordial Yin essence [the foundational feminine cosmic energy], flowing through his meridians.
This time, having obtained the profound Primordial Yin energy [the foundational feminine essence vital for certain dual cultivation arts] accumulated over millennia by the two women and refined the Polarity Co-Cultivation Pill, Eldrin Chen's spiritual power could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
Now, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Great Perfection stage within the Primordial Spirit 3rd Tier. All that remained was to further temper his spiritual energy before he could break through to the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage.
Furthermore, a vast reservoir of Primordial Yin energy still lingered within his body. Once he successfully advanced to the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage and fully refined this profound essence, it was likely he would cultivate his way to the Primordial Spirit 5th Tier in an astonishingly short span of time.
"The Primordial Yin of a maiden in the Primordial Spirit Realm is truly a supreme treasure for cultivation," he mused.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Eldrin Chen noticed Nyssa Qu entwining herself around him, her face flushed with lingering heat. Clearly, the residual toxins had not been fully cleansed, and she urgently required dual cultivation to refine them.
By now, he had grown considerably more at ease with the situation. He wrapped an arm around Nyssa Qu's slender waist and pressed forward, claiming her once more. This chapter appears courtesy of http://www . audio-novel.com.
"..."
By the time the three of them had completely refined the medicinal efficacy, several days had passed.
As the four descended from the bed, Eldrin Chen realized that each of them had made significant progress in their cultivation.
Exquisite Jiang had progressed even further, breaking through in one stride to the Primordial Spirit 3rd Tier. Her spiritual power was now no weaker than that of a formidable Primordial Spirit cultivator at the Primordial Spirit 6th Tier.
Nyssa Qu was no exception. Though she had missed the opportunity to refine the legendary Pill of Polarity Profundity [a supreme elixir that harmonizes opposing forces], her cultivation soared through two consecutive breakthroughs, ascending from the Primordial Spirit 1st Tier [the first level of the Primordial Spirit realm] to the Primordial Spirit 3rd Tier [the third level of the Primordial Spirit realm].
As for Violet Consort Yan, blessed with a Heavenly Spiritual Root [a supreme innate talent for cultivation], she had broken through to the Primordial Spirit [the realm of the spiritual core] most recently, yet her power surged directly to the Primordial Spirit 3rd Tier.
"The gains from this dual cultivation are immense,"
Having shared Eldrin Chen's essence, Violet Consort Yan felt profound joy. She entwined her arm with his and said, "It seems within three hundred years, I can reach perfection and begin my attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm]."
Nyssa Qu offered a bashful smile, her cheeks tinged with a delicate blush. "From this day forward, this humble one shall remain by your side, my lord. I pray for your enduring affection and care."
"You both..."
Gazing upon these two peerless immortal maidens, Eldrin Chen recalled their captivating allure.
It must be said, both were true treasures of the bedchamber, offering him pleasures so profound they bordered on soul-stealing.
Moreover, their Primordial Yin essence [the pure feminine life-force of a cultivator] had spared him millennia of arduous cultivation. Such a profound debt of beauty and grace was impossible for him to disregard.
With this thought, he sighed softly and declared, "Let the past remain the past. From this day forward, we are one in the Dao, fellow cultivators walking the path hand in hand."
Hearing his words, the two women felt a flicker of joy in their hearts.
For a being like Eldrin Chen to make such a promise, to walk the path side by side with them and pledge his full support in their future quest for immortality, was no small matter.
Even with Violet Consort Yan's exceptional talent, attaining immortality in this realm was an immensely difficult feat. Yet, if Eldrin Chen were to pay a great price to take her to the Immortal Realm [the higher plane of existence where true immortals dwell], achieving immortality might not be impossible after all.
After all, the Immortal Realm possessed far more Immortal Ascension Art [esoteric methods for transcending mortality and ascending to immortality]. If a supremely talented Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality], or even an Earth Immortal Patriarch [a powerful immortal patriarch anchored to the earthly realm], were willing to spare no expense in supporting her, her chances of success would increase dramatically.
This was true not only for her. For Nyssa Qu to achieve immortality, the best path was also to follow Eldrin Chen and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
In this realm, Immortal Ascension Art suitable for demonic cultivators were scarce, and treasures to aid them in their ascension were few.
Nyssa Qu's chances of attaining immortality here were perhaps no more than two in ten, and her odds of surviving the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly trial that tests a cultivator's worthiness for immortality] were not great either.
If she went to the Immortal Realm, however, and obtained Fortune Path Gold [a mystical metal said to guide one's destiny], Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a sacred silver used in celestial rituals], and the assistance of other immortal-grade divine materials, her chances of success would soar.
It could be said that while their willingness to become his dao companions and consorts stemmed primarily from genuine affection, the fact that Eldrin Chen could one day lead them in ascension to the Immortal Realm was undoubtedly a significant factor.
For a cultivator to achieve immortality was a path fraught with unimaginable hardship. Countless geniuses of peerless talent throughout the ages had stumbled and fallen at the final, most crucial step.
However, some individuals possess far greater Fortune [the predestined opportunities and luck in one's life path] than others. With the support of a Dao Companion [a cultivation partner bound by profound spiritual and emotional ties], a revered Master, close kin and friends, or even the backing of Upper Realm Immortals [powerful immortals from higher, more advanced realms], their chances of successfully ascending to immortality are undoubtedly and significantly magnified.
