Xuanxiao Continent.
State of Jin, Great Bliss Immortal Sect.
Inside a cramped courtyard at the foot of the outer sect's mountain.
"Junior Brother, you wouldn't want the other Senior Sisters to find out about your little secret, would you?"
With his spiritual energy entirely sealed and lying paralyzed on the bed, Ye Ba looked at Chu Yao standing by the bedside, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart.
He had hidden his Pure Yang Constitution for eight years, yet it had still been exposed.
The Great Bliss Immortal Sect was the number one sect in the State of Jin, practicing the Grand Dao of Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation. Though called an immortal sect, it was actually a demonic sect in reality.
The male cultivators within the sect were all abducted from various places across the State of Jin. Initially, they were provided with some resources to help raise their cultivation levels.
After all, the stronger the leek grew, the better the harvest of dual cultivation would be.
Ye Ba had also been abducted.
Barring any accidents, he would eventually become cultivation nourishment for female cultivators.
He would contribute one share—or perhaps multiple shares—to the enhancement of a female demon's cultivation.
The difference was that he possessed the Pure Yang Constitution, making him the king of leeks!
According to the "experience" provided by the previous two Senior Brothers who possessed the Pure Yang Constitution, he should be able to last for a year or a half.
Half a month ago, he even went to the graveyard to visit those two Senior Brothers, and the grass on their graves was already thirty meters high.
"How did Senior Sister find out?" Ye Ba asked curiously.
He believed he had hidden himself very well. Normally, he had no reason to go out and rarely saw anyone.
Furthermore, he was a practitioner with the most useless Five Spiritual Roots, and his cultivation speed was extremely slow.
After cultivating for eight years, he was only at the Qi Condensation 1st Layer—a bona fide good-for-nothing!
His presence in the outer sect was extremely weak.
Logically speaking, unless the female demon was blind, there was no way she would take a fancy to him.
Yet even so, Chu Yao had still discovered that he possessed the Pure Yang Constitution.
Chu Yao reached into her robe and drew out a white medicinal pill.
A trace of complacency appeared in her eyes.
"Does Junior Brother find this pill familiar?"
"This is just an ordinary Yang-Enhancing Pill. What's so special about it?" Ye Ba feigned ignorance.
"Heh, this pill was refined by you, and its medicinal efficacy exceeds the ones I refine by fifty percent! Most importantly, it carries a faint scent of hawthorn blossoms!"
Chu Yao chuckled lightly. As a disciple of the Great Bliss Immortal Sect, she was far too familiar with this scent.
"So that's how it is." A flash of realization appeared in Ye Ba's eyes.
Although his cultivation talent was lacking, he had some talent in alchemy, and half a year ago he had finally managed to barely refine a Rank 1 Low-Grade spiritual pill, the Yang-Enhancing Pill.
However, he was very poor and lacked spirit stones to purchase the main ingredient for refining the Yang-Enhancing Pill—Sun-Gathering Grass.
Driven to desperation and struck by a sudden inspiration, he had used his Primordial Yang as a substitute.
To his surprise, he had actually succeeded.
Yet it was precisely this minute flaw that had been discovered by the Chu Yao before him.
Now she had come to his residence, subdued him, and uncovered the fact that he possessed the Pure Yang Constitution.
"What does Senior Sister want?" Ye Ba glanced sideways at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao had silver hair reaching her waist adorned with an ice-crystal hairpiece, a pure white shark-silk skirt hem dotted with fine frost flowers, and a nine-ringed jade pendant hanging from her waist, revealing a flawless, pure white abdomen.
Her pair of long legs was simply the innate black-silk sacred body.
Setting aside Chu Yao's identity as a female demon, she looked much more like a fairy.
"Naturally, I want to imprison you and keep you all to myself every single night!" Chu Yao looked at Ye Ba with eyes filled with intense longing.
Although she did not yet know what specific type of Pure Yang Constitution Ye Ba possessed, even the weakest kind would be enough to help her cultivate rapidly.
Normally, such good fortune would never fall upon her.
After all, she was only a low-ranking outer sect disciple; even if she discovered a Pure Yang Constitution, she was not qualified to enjoy it.
But things were different now. She had discovered Ye Ba's secret and could completely hide him away for her own exclusive use.
As for sharing him with others? How could that be possible?
This was her own stroke of good fortune!
"Senior Sister here will cherish you properly."
Chu Yao swayed her slender waist as she drew closer, breathing a puff of pink mist toward Ye Ba.
Ye Ba's consciousness blurred until it vanished completely.
...
Who knows how much time passed.
Ye Ba finally woke up.
He glanced around and found that he was still on his own bed.
His entire body remained paralyzed and unable to move.
However, right before him, a virtual panel had appeared.
【Alchemy Experience +1!】
【Rank 1 Low-Grade Alchemist (1/10)】
【Wood Spiritual Root Aptitude +1!】
【Medium-Grade Wood Spiritual Root (1/10)】
【Fire Spiritual Root Aptitude +1!】
【Medium-Grade Fire Spiritual Root (1/10)】
...
Ye Ba never expected his golden finger to be activated in this manner.
At the same time, some information regarding the golden finger surfaced in his mind.
As it turned out, whenever he practiced dual cultivation with a woman, he could gain various dao-cultivation-related experiences from her.
Moreover, the higher the other party's talent, the more experience he would receive!
He turned his head to look at Chu Yao, who was currently sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in meditation.
【Name: Chu Yao】
【Realm: Qi Condensation 5th Layer】
【Aptitude: Medium-Grade Wood Spiritual Root, Medium-Grade Fire Spiritual Root, Low-Grade Earth Spiritual Root】
【Alchemy: Rank 1 High-Grade】
【Cultivation Technique: Primal Dragon-Swallowing Formula】
【Spells: Low-Grade Charm Technique, Fireball Technique, Wood Escape Technique...】
"Chu Yao knows alchemy, so I can gain alchemy experience, and the same goes for talent spiritual roots. However, her earth spiritual root is only low-grade, just like mine, so there is no experience gained from it."
After reviewing Chu Yao's information, Ye Ba understood everything completely.
Suddenly, a look of joy crossed Chu Yao's brow, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
Her gaze was filled with astonishment.
She had not expected that after meditating for just this short while, her cultivation would have achieved such a massive boost.
It was equivalent to a whole month of bitter cultivation for her!
"Such a constitution! I've struck gold!" Chu Yao trembled with excitement in her delicate body!
With Ye Ba, she was confident she could reach Foundation Establishment within a few years!
Seeing Chu Yao's ignorant display, Ye Ba sneered inwardly.
On the very day he was abducted, he had already known his fate.
Knowing full well that he might become a Spirit Slave, how could he not have made preparations in advance?
The next second, Chu Yao's expression stiffened, replaced by a look of puzzlement.
For some unknown reason, the spiritual energy within her body had begun to surge wildly in disorder.
"What is going on?"
She was baffled.
She hurriedly circulated her cultivation technique to suppress it, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Instead, the spiritual energy riot became even more violent.
Mh-hm.
Chu Yao let out a muffled groan.
If this continued, she would burst apart from within and die.
"Senior Sister, you've been poisoned! Only I can lift this poison!" Ye Ba spoke softly.
"Poisoned? How is that possible? When did you administer poison?" Chu Yao could not fathom it.
Ye Ba had already been bound by her spell, finding it difficult even to move a finger.
How could he possibly have poisoned her body?
And when had he administered it?
She hadn't sensed a thing.
"What did Senior Sister just do to me?" Ye Ba's expression remained calm.
Chu Yao's beautiful eyes widened as realization instantly struck her. Trembling, she pointed a finger at Ye Ba, biting her silver teeth: "You shameless wretch!"
"Hmph! If Senior Sister hadn't forced me, you wouldn't have been poisoned!" Ye Ba sneered.
Swish!
"Hand over the antidote immediately! Or I'll kill you!"
Furious, Chu Yao felt her intelligence had been insulted.
She drew her dharma sword from her waist and pressed it against Ye Ba's neck.
"I possess the Pure Yang Constitution. Would you dare kill me?" Ye Ba sneered.
Hesitation appeared on Chu Yao's face.
Her aptitude was ordinary, and after six years in the sect, she had only cultivated to the Qi Condensation 5th Layer.
If she missed the opportunity right before her, even reaching Foundation Establishment would be difficult.
Seeing Chu Yao waver, Ye Ba continued, "How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
"I will regularly provide you with the antidote to suppress the spiritual poison in your body, and you will keep my secret!" Ye Ba proposed.
