"This is the miniature world," Ouyang Huihuang exclaimed excitedly.
He had been here before, so he recognized it instantly as the place he had entered a year ago.
The others also looked around curiously. This was their first time entering the legendary miniature world.
Everyone found it novel, and Yang Feilong was no exception.
"Do you see that formation?" Bai Yidie pointed. Everyone looked over. Not far away, a formation glowed with misty light. "That is the guardian formation, and also a spirit gathering formation! Cultivating within it yields twice the result with half the effort. Furthermore, that formation can resist demonic attacks. It has three layers of defense. Once all three layers are activated, they can connect with the formation at the entrance and exit, allowing direct passage here from there, or even to leave this miniature world! However, do not enter lightly without a reason, as each activation of the formation requires spirit stones. Of course, under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy within is sufficient for its operation!"
Listening to Bai Yidie's clear explanation, no one spoke, they just listened quietly.
Although Bai Yidie was likely younger than most people present, they all held her in awe.
Yang Feilong only felt affection, not awe.
This was because his master rarely lost her temper with him. The only time she did was when she sent him down the mountain. Back then, he thought his master had specifically told him to find her at a certain time in the bathroom, when she normally wouldn't be bathing, just to get him to leave.
Of course, none of that mattered now. Even if that hadn't happened, his master would have found some other excuse to send him down the mountain. The fact was, his master's approach was correct, otherwise, his cultivation wouldn't have improved so dramatically in half a year.
This was the accumulated strength after over a decade of hard work!
And it was not unrelated to his master's foresight in teaching him the dual cultivation technique of Yin and Yang.
Perhaps, she had seen that he was destined for romance?
Bai Yidie briefly explained to Ouyang Huihuang how to use the formation that integrated cultivation and protection. Then she said to Yang Feilong, "You, come with me!"
"Feilong, I..." Just then, Ouyang Yixue spoke nervously.
"Is this your girlfriend?" Bai Yidie appraised Ouyang Yixue. She had already noticed that the young girl's relationship with Yang Feilong seemed extraordinary, otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed the Ouyang family to use that integrated formation for cultivation and protection.
Initially, she thought she should be happy that Yang Feilong had found a girlfriend, as it meant her disciple wouldn't be solely focused on her. But upon seeing him bring the girl back, she inexplicably felt uneasy, which was why she had pretended not to see Ouyang Yixue earlier.
"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Ouyang Yixue." Yang Feilong introduced with a smile. "Yixue, greet master."
"Master," Ouyang Yixue called out nervously.
"En," Bai Yidie nodded with mixed emotions. After a moment's thought, she took out a pendant, and with a wave of her hand, it flew before Ouyang Yixue. She said, "This pendant has a one-time protective effect. It can block three attacks from cultivators below the Innate realm, and one attack from an Innate realm cultivator!"
"Thank you, master," Ouyang Yixue said sweetly and gratefully.
Let alone her, even the other members of the Ouyang family marveled in secret. To be able to block three attacks from a cultivator below the Innate realm? And one attack from an Innate realm cultivator? This was a life-saving treasure!
Ouyang Huihuang and Ouyang Qiang, needless to say, were both happy for Ouyang Yixue.
Yang Feilong blinked and said, "Master, when I left, you didn't prepare any decent item to protect me either!"
"Not protecting you was to make you rely on yourself! If you always relied on me, how would you grow?" Bai Yidie glared at Yang Feilong. Before he could retort, she added, "As for Yixue, she's a girl, and I can tell that while she has cultivation, she lacks combat experience. It seems her growth has been forced, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Giving her something to protect her will at least offer some safeguard if she suddenly encounters an irresistible crisis."
"Hehe," Yang Feilong chuckled sheepishly.
Bai Yidie didn't elaborate. At first, she had made time to secretly protect him, but later, seeing Yang Feilong's steady progress, she had busied herself with her own affairs.
"Yixue, you stay with your family for now. I need to speak with Feilong privately about some matters. Once we're done, I'll have him come find you," Bai Yidie said to Ouyang Yixue. "You can go cultivate, or you can look for some relatively weaker demons nearby to hone your skills."
"Master, you go ahead with your business, don't worry about me," Ouyang Yixue said obediently.
"I'll come find you later!" Yang Feilong said, then followed his master, Bai Yidie, out of the miniature world.
Walking in the mountain stream.
Bai Yidie walked ahead, and Yang Feilong followed behind. Yang Feilong was a bit puzzled why his master called him out but remained silent.
"Master," Yang Feilong couldn't help but call out.
"What's your current cultivation level?" Bai Yidie asked.
"Peak of Qi Refining sixth level, with Water and Fire abilities both at early seventh stage!" Yang Feilong replied. "My combat power is comparable to an invincible Ba Wu realm expert!"
"Your Qi Refining cultivation is too low!" Bai Yidie said. "Your overall combat strength is acceptable."
There was no surprise on her face that Yang Feilong had hoped to see, making him somewhat disappointed.
"Do you feel your cultivation is quite good? In half a year, you've broken through from Qi Refining second level to sixth level, and your abilities have gone from none to early seventh stage? Should I praise you?" Bai Yidie slowly spoke.
"Master, I feel my cultivation speed is quite good, don't you think!" Yang Feilong pursed his lips and said.
"How many women have you dual-cultivated with?" Bai Yidie asked, not answering Yang Feilong's question.
"This, that..." Yang Feilong's face flushed with embarrassment, unsure how to answer his master's direct question.
"Not counting other women you've dual-cultivated with, Ouyang Yixue has an excellent physique, a Snow Lotus body, which is very similar to a Glazed body. You actually ruined her body so early with such a good physique!" Bai Yidie glared at Yang Feilong.
"Snow Lotus body?" Yang Feilong was astonished.
Yang Feilong had never expected Ouyang Yixue to have such an extraordinary physique, comparable to a Glazed body. Such a physique was not only rare but also greatly beneficial to both parties in dual cultivation!
Yang Feilong regretted it. Had he known she had the Snow Lotus body, he wouldn't have been so hasty in taking her innocence.
"With such a good physique, whether you follow the path of ancient martial arts or Qi Refining, you will eventually reach the same destination. If her cultivation reaches the Heavenly Martial realm, and you dual-cultivate with her then, the benefits to you will be immense. Even if you dual-cultivate with her during the eighth tribulation, you can pass it perfectly without any other medicine," Ouyang Yidie sighed, looking at Yang Feilong with clear dissatisfaction.
"Well, Master, I have another woman, her physique is the Glazed body," Yang Feilong said after thinking.
"A girlfriend with the Glazed body?" Bai Yidie's eyes widened upon hearing this, clearly shocked.
While the Snow Lotus body was a top-tier physique, it still fell somewhat short compared to the Glazed body, which was found in one in a billion.
"Have you broken her body?" Bai Yidie asked repeatedly.
"Not yet," Yang Feilong shook his head.
"That's good!" Bai Yidie's eyes filled with relief. But soon, she became worried again. "You need to be careful with women of this physique."
"Careful? What do you mean?" Yang Feilong frowned, somewhat confused.
Why did her words sound a little off?
"The caution I speak of is not what you are thinking. In the spiritual realm, there are many cultivation families. These families send people to the mortal world periodically to find promising young talents. If a person from a cultivation family discovers your girlfriend with the Glazed body, they might directly take her to an ancient martial arts family," Bai Yidie said with concern.
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Yang Feilong's brow furrowed.
