Han Lie was dumbfounded. You call this a minor modification?! Could it be any more of a trap?

If he had known it was this much of a trap, Han Lie wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to cultivate this Yin Yang Demonic Art.

“Heh heh, therefore, those who cultivate this art in later generations must carefully choose their Dual Cultivation partners after beginning cultivation. Don’t blame This Senior for not warning you.”

“If one possesses the one-in-a-hundred-million Pure Yang Sacred Body, then you can treat everything This Senior said above as nonsense.”

“Phew, that’s a relief, scared me half to death!”

After hearing the final passage, Han Lie’s hanging heart finally settled back down.

Why didn’t you just say earlier that the Pure Yang Sacred Body isn’t affected? Made This Senior worry for nothing!

“This Senior finally understands why that female demon Ye Qingxuan didn’t kill me.”

Since the Yang Volume binds to the Yin energy of the first person one cultivates with, then the Yin Volume is probably the same. If Ye Qingxuan wants to continue cultivating the Yin Yang Demonic Art and reach higher realms, then she can’t kill him.

No wonder after finishing that time, Ye Qingxuan not only gave him the cultivation method for the Yang Volume of the Yin Yang Demonic Art but also gave him Life-Extending Pills and cultivation resources!

So she wants to use him as a long-term cultivation furnace!

“If the partner is Ye Qingxuan… This Senior can reluctantly accept it…”

Putting everything else aside, Ye Qingxuan’s figure and looks were truly top-tier.

And now that he had activated the Pure Yang Sacred Body, he didn’t have to worry at all about being drained dry by Ye Qingxuan. Once Han Lie started cultivating in earnest, who ended up using whom as a cultivation furnace… that was hard to say!

“But before that, This Senior still needs to lay low for a while…”

Although Ye Qingxuan was bound to his Yang energy, that didn’t mean he could act recklessly and provoke her right to her face. If he angered Ye Qingxuan, even if it meant bearing the high cost of switching to another cultivation art, she would probably suppress and kill him on the spot.

But at least, he shouldn’t have to be as subservient and struggle for survival in the cracks as before. As long as he didn’t cross Ye Qingxuan’s bottom line or make overly excessive demands of her, she would probably turn a blind eye.

“Hmm… for now, I should focus on improving my cultivation.”

Before officially starting cultivation, however, he still needed to take a Life-Extending Pill.

Han Lie estimated his remaining lifespan was at most less than half a month. Even with the Pure Yang Sacred Body and the Yin Yang Demonic Art’s support, he obviously couldn’t possibly break through from Qi Refining Stage Level Two to the Foundation Establishment Stage in less than half a month.

Only by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage could his mortal body surpass its lifespan limit.

Finding the Life-Extending Pill, about the size of a longan fruit, from the storage ring Ye Qingxuan gave him, Han Lie swallowed it without hesitation.

The Life-Extending Pill tasted quite bitter but melted instantly upon entering his mouth. The medicinal efficacy flowed down his throat into his body. In just moments, Han Lie could clearly feel a vibrant, life-filled energy spreading throughout his frame.

Before long, his once turbid eyes became much clearer. His skin, full of age marks like a withered flower, seemed to reverse the wounds of time, becoming slightly firmer instead of loose.

Not only that, Han Lie also clearly felt that his originally nearly depleted vitality had become much more vigorous.

“Truly miraculous…”

Feeling the earth-shattering changes in his own body, which had one foot already in the grave, Han Lie couldn’t help but marvel.

Now he finally understood why Life-Extending Pills—which weren’t high-grade and could only extend the life of someone on death’s door by three to five years—could be sold so expensively. Spirit Stones are merely external possessions. But for someone about to burn out like an oil-depleted lamp, time is a priceless treasure!

Just like Han Lie now; his remaining lifespan was merely half a month. Without the Life-Extending Pill to prolong his life, what good would activating the Pure Yang Sacred Body be? It would just be a fleeting dream, an empty joy.

Gathering his focus and taking out ten Spirit Stones from the storage ring, Han Lie entered a cultivation state.

Ye Qingxuan had considered things thoroughly; there were even several pills in the storage ring that could accelerate one’s absorption of spiritual energy. But for Han Lie now, they were superfluous.

Compared to before when he only had half a spiritual vein, after activating the Pure Yang Sacred Body, Han Lie’s speed of absorbing spiritual energy hadn’t just undergone a qualitative leap; it could be said to have skyrocketed like a little cow riding a rocket.

A continuous stream of pure spiritual energy entered his body through his breath and countless pores all over, flowing through his meridians before finally converging in his dantian.

At this moment, Han Lie, who had crossed over to this world for over one hundred and ten years, finally experienced the exhilarating sensation of power significantly increasing brought by cultivation!

Thus, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

With the support of the Pure Yang Sacred Body and the Yin Yang Demonic Art, plus having ample Spirit Stones as cultivation reserves, Han Lie directly broke through from the initial Qi Refining Stage Level Two to Qi Refining Stage Level Three in just this short half-month.

This speed could not be called slow.

Over the past century, although Han Lie didn’t cultivate often, his total accumulated cultivation time was at least seven or eight years. Yet that had only allowed him to break through from Qi Refining Stage Level One to Level Two.

Now, he had used only half a month to break through to Level Three.

Compared to his last breakthrough, the time used for this breakthrough had shortened by more than a hundredfold!

You’re right, but this is the Pure Yang Sacred Body!

As for why Han Lie exited his cultivation state after only breaking through to Qi Refining Stage Level Three, it was because someone came knocking on his door.

Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, Han Lie should have finished his miserable life by now. So the Servant Department responsible for managing all Servant Disciples of the Heavenly Void Sect sent someone over to collect Han Lie’s corpse, lest it dirty Sect Leader Ye Qingxuan’s place.

Since it involved Sect Leader Ye Qingxuan, the person sent to collect Han Lie’s corpse was Zhao Donghai, the supervisor of the Afterlife Hall under the Servant Department.

But when he saw Han Lie still alive and well sitting by the bedside, even looking exceptionally vigorous in spirit and complexion, Supervisor Zhao Donghai was momentarily stunned on the spot.

The two Servant Disciples he brought with him were similarly stunned.

Wasn’t it said that Han Lie had died of old age?

What was going on here?
