Chapter 20: Cultivating the Phoenix and Nurturing the Primordial Qi

019: Cultivating the Phoenix and Nurturing the Primordial Qi

Ten years have passed without returning.

From a distance, Pang Yue saw Bright Lake Island and felt a sense of relief, as if returning home.

The sun was setting, and the setting sun plunged into the sea. The evening glow was like flames, dyeing the western sky and the sea golden.

The evening breeze gently brushed against the low-flying seabirds, emitting a melodious chirping.

Above Bright Lake Island, two Daoist figures stood in the void, as if waiting for him.

One of them was dressed in luxurious clothing and had an imposing appearance. It was none other than Zhuang Buxiu from the Flame Demon Temple.

The other person was draped in a feather cloak, tall and handsome, with an extraordinary temperament. He had a smiling face that easily gave people a good impression.

Pang Yue stopped his flight.

These two people were blocking his doorstep, clearly not here for a friendly visit.

Especially Zhuang Buxiu, the last time he visited with Wei Shanshui, it ended unpleasantly. Shortly after, Pang Yue was sent to the open sea... If he said it had nothing to do with him, Pang Yue would never believe it.

"Junior Brother Xu, it's been a long time!"

Zhuang Buxiu greeted with a cupped fist.

Pang Yue calmly asked, "What brings the two of you here?"

Zhuang Buxiu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu, let me introduce you. This is Senior Brother Qu Ziyang from the Ice Demon Temple, and he is currently the number one disciple of the Qu family for three generations. He has a great chance of becoming the next direct disciple of the Ice Demon Temple."

"I've met Senior Brother Qu!"

Pang Yue cupped his fist and said, "What is the matter with the two of you? Get straight to the point. I have been away for ten years and am a bit tired."

"Junior Brother Xu is indeed impatient."

Qu Ziyang saw that Pang Yue had no intention of inviting him onto the island, so he sighed and said, "It is impolite for me to come uninvited and disturb you, but there is a matter that I have been waiting for several years. I hope Junior Brother Xu can agree."

Pang Yue glanced at Zhuang Buxiu, then turned to Qu Ziyang and said, "Senior Brother Qu, please speak."

"A few years ago, I fell in love at first sight with Qin Shuyi, a female cultivator from your island. I wanted to ask Junior Brother to make the decision and marry her to me, but at that time, Junior Brother was still at sea and couldn't come back, so I had to delay until now... Love is the most bitter thing in the world, and I ask Junior Brother to fulfill my wish with Shuyi."

Qu Ziyang said sincerely.

Pang Yue was first stunned, then looked at Qu Ziyang with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Senior Brother Qu seems to be unaware that this Qin Shuyi is my concubine in the Cauldron of the Underworld, right?"

"I am aware, but Junior Brother Xu seems to have already seen through the allure of women, and has never even seen Shuyi... And Shuyi is still a virgin."

Qu Ziyang said.

Pang Yue burst into laughter and said, "Senior Brother Qu, rest assured, after tonight, she won't be anymore!"

Qu Ziyang didn't understand, "What does Junior Brother Xu mean? Are you willing to fulfill our wishes?"

Pang Yue shook his head and said, "No, there's no need to trouble Senior Brother Qu with this matter. I will personally take care of it."

Qu Ziyang was taken aback, his face turning red and white alternately. Spiritual energy surged within him, and the temperature dropped sharply, forming ice crystals and snowflakes in the air.

"Is Junior Brother Xu teasing me?"

Pang Yue sneered and said, "The night is long, but the good times are short. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany the two of you any longer. Goodbye!"

After speaking, his figure flickered and he was about to leave.

"Hold on!"

Qu Ziyang reached out and a cold air filled the surroundings, enveloping the area, blocking Pang Yue's way out.

"Do you want to make a move?"

Pang Yue looked coldly at Qu Ziyang.

Zhuang Buxiu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, observing the situation from the sidelines, silently watching the two.

Qu Ziyang stared at Pang Yue with a murderous intent on his handsome face, and said word by word, "Xu Liming, if you dare to touch Shuyi even a little, I will challenge the sect tomorrow!"

"You should check your own mind first!"

Pang Yue sneered, his figure flickered, turning into a sharp sword light, instantly cutting through the Shattering Void, flashing past Qu Ziyang and Zhuang Buxiu.

The dense cold mist couldn't stop him at all, but was instead cut apart by the sword light, splitting it in half!

Qu Ziyang, furious and humiliated, shouted, "Just a mere Triple Dao Foundation, yet so arrogant! Let me teach you a lesson tomorrow!"

Zhuang Buxiu said in a deep voice to comfort him, "Senior Brother Qu, let's go back first. It's not worth getting angry over a woman. Unfortunately, our plan failed today. I'm afraid Junior Brother Xu will cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Qin..."

Qu Ziyang snorted and said, "If he dares to touch Shuyi, I will challenge the sect tomorrow!"

His voice rolled like thunder, spreading throughout Bright Lake Island.

The two of them had no intention of staying any longer and left together.

As the evening glow faded and the sky darkened, only the sound of the tide continued to echo in the ears.

...

Night.

Qin Shuyi's chamber.

The brocade tent was still warm, with a lingering scent of incense. The four sides of the large bed made of yellow rosewood were draped with gauze.

Looking through the lotus-colored gauze, there was a beautiful and charming figure sitting on the bed.

Inside the room, by the table.

Pang Yue calmly stuck a jade slip on his forehead and carefully examined it.

After a long time, he put down the jade slip and looked at the beauty on the bed, saying, "I didn't expect you to cultivate the 'Phoenix Soaring and Nurturing Foundation Technique' to the Dao Foundation realm."

The woman on the bed remained silent.

Pang Yue lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and a breeze suddenly blew in the room, lifting a corner of the gauze on the bed, revealing the woman's appearance.

The woman had a graceful figure, wearing a silk long dress. Although she was sitting on the bed, she exuded an elegant and tall feeling.

Her waist was slender, with a touch of fleshiness, and her curves were tight and firm. She had ample bosom and a round and beautiful buttocks, showcasing her graceful figure.

This was the first time Pang Yue carefully observed Qin Shuyi.

She had a stunning appearance, fair and delicate skin, with a dignified and gentle temperament. At this moment, however, there was a hint of coldness in her expression.

The smooth and fair center of her eyebrows, with three plum blossom spirit patterns, made her appear even more noble and sacred.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Qin Shuyi said in a somewhat panicked tone.

She never expected that the first thing Daoist Xu did after returning to the island after ten years was to quietly enter her chamber at night, subdue her, and ask her for the jade slip of the 'Phoenix Soaring and Nurturing Foundation Technique'.

During the twilight hours, she heard clearly what Qu Ziyang said above Bright Lake Island. She had planned to have a resolution tomorrow, but she didn't expect Daoist Xu to resort to such a strange move.

"Let's see how well you have cultivated it."
