Her injuries were too severe, so he dared not use too much force and could only proceed little by little, as meticulously as embroidering.
Su Qingyuan felt a tingling sensation all over her body, as if she were soaking in a hot spring. Her broken meridians healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cracks in her dantian were slowly mended under the nourishment of the chaotic origin.
Her pale face gradually regained some color, and her breathing became steady.
Inside the tower, there is no sun or moon, and it is unknown how much time has passed.
The two beings’ essences merged, their breaths gradually becoming one, forming a seamless whole.
At first, David was focused on healing his injuries, but as the two of them stood so close that they could hear each other’s breaths, the feeling of intimacy stirred something within him.
He forced himself to calm his mind and continue to guide the flow of the source.
Su Qingyuan gently opened her eyes at this moment, her gaze shimmering with tears, carrying a hint of bewilderment she herself was unaware of: “David”
“Hmm?” David was slightly taken aback. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No,” she said softly, “I just… feel very at ease.”
David’s heart softened, and he said softly, “Then you should rest and recover. With me here, no one can hurt you.”
The spiritual energy within the tower surged like a tide, and the two people’s essence merged, their spirit and body becoming one.
Time flowed slowly within the Demon Suppression Tower, one day, two days, three days
Su Qingyuan’s injuries healed rapidly under the nourishment of the Chaos Origin. Her broken meridians were completely rebuilt, the cracks in her dantian were completely healed, and even the hidden injuries deep in her soul were completely healed.
Her cultivation level did not regress due to her serious injury; on the contrary, it showed signs of improvement during the dual cultivation process.
David also benefited greatly from this dual cultivation.
His primal connection with Su Qingyuan deepened his understanding of the myriad arts, and the chaotic origin and the myriad arts’ rhythms mutually reinforced each other, causing his cultivation bottleneck to loosen subtly.
Ten days and ten nights passed in the blink of an eye.
As the last wisp of essence completed its fusion and slowly returned to its place, Su Qingyuan suddenly opened her eyes, a flash of brilliance in them.
She raised her hand and gently clenched it, feeling her body filled with abundant and complete spiritual energy, her meridians unobstructed, her dantian as solid as a rock, her injuries fully healed, and she was even stronger than before she was injured.
“I’m all better?”
Su Qingyuan stared blankly at her hands, somewhat incredulous.
“It’s better now, even better than before.”
David looked at her with a smile, “You’ve turned misfortune into blessing. Come on, I’ll take you to cultivate. The spiritual energy in this tower is abundant, and there’s still enough time for you to stabilize your realm.”
As David spoke, he took out a bunch of things from his storage ring.
Spirit stones, spiritual herbs, pills, cultivation manuals and jade slips all of these were spoils he had plundered from the Tian Shu Sect.
Back then, he single-handedly emptied the entire Tian Shu Sect’s coffers; those resources piled up like a small mountain, enough to support a large sect.
Looking at the mountain of resources before her, even though she was used to seeing good things, Su Qingyuan couldn’t help but gasp: “Youyou’ve robbed an entire sect?”
“To be precise, it was something they did after wiping out the entire sect.”
David shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact. “Anyway, keeping them around is just asking for trouble. I might as well use them to support my wife.”
Su Qingyuan blushed: “Who’s your wife!”
“It’s only a matter of time.”
David chuckled and, before she could object, shoved a piece of high-quality, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual marrow into her hand. “Here, refine this first to stabilize your cultivation. I’ll pick out a few more cultivation techniques that suit you.”
Su Qingyuan looked at the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual marrow in her hand, and then at David’s busy figure, a soft feeling welled up in her eyes.
Since the destruction of her sect, she has carried the burden of this deep-seated hatred alone, hiding here and there, never daring to show weakness in front of anyone.
But now, standing beside this man, she felt for the first time how wonderful it felt to be protected.
She said no more, sat down cross-legged, and began to refine the spiritual essence.
Within the Demon-Suppressing Tower, spiritual energy surged like a tide, and time flew by.
David also sat cross-legged and circulated his Chaos Origin, using the rich Daoist energy within the tower and the gains from dual cultivation to break through his cultivation bottleneck.
His foundation was ridiculously deep, combining the origin of chaos with the true essence of the Heavenly Dao, making his foundation far surpass that of other cultivators of the same level.
He had been suppressing his cultivation level and hadn’t made any breakthroughs along the way. Now that the opportunity had arrived, it was like water flowing into a channel, and he had a smooth and unobstructed journey.
