Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Aunt Liu, please guard me. I am going to enter seclusion", Shen Ruyan spoke after checking the Profound lifespirit pill which she was holding on her hand.

"No need to worry, young miss. No one dare trespass this place", the stern looking old woman replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and entered a nearby room.

She looked at the pill on her hand again. "No matter what I have to try. I hope I have picked the right person", Shen Ruyan thought inside her mind. She closed her eyes and cleared her mind from all distracting thoughts. Then she popped the Profound lifespirit pill in her mouth.

A clear stream of gentle energy flowed from her mouth and Shen Ruyan quickly guided them towards her damaged meridians. Waves after waves of energy generated from the Profound lifespirit pill and a soothing feeling came to the mind of Shen Ruyan.

The energy contained in the Lifespirit pill was unbelievably pure. Shen Ruyan couldn't detect any trace of impurities within the energy of the pill.

Her damaged meridians started to recover by the gentle energy contained in the Lifespirit pill. Shen Ruyan's face gradually turned rosy and a small smile involuntarily appeared on her flawless face.

Shen Ruyan took total two hours to digest the last bit of energy contained in the Lifespirit pill. Her damaged meridians recovered and the blockage in her meridians cleared after the gentle energy of Lifespirit pill passed through her newly repaired meridians. Shen Ruyan could feel that her meridians became stronger after she took the Lifespirit pill.

She didn't immediately left her room. She checked her body condition first. After seeing that there were no hidden injuries, she relaxed her mind. A smile that could bewitch both men and gods appeared on her flawless face.

Beads of sweat appeared on the face of Zhan Chen as he sat cross-legged on his courtyard. The afternoon sun was glowing brightly and Zhan Chen kept cultivating the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. Initially the heat was unbearable to him as it was the essence of sun what he absorbed while practicing the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. But as days passed, Zhan Chen didn't feel much discomfort while absorbing the essence of sun.

The essence of sun kept flowing on his body as Zhan Chen's body was filled with energy of extreme Yang. Zhan Chen could feel that he could advance any moment in his cultivation.

He didn't want to miss such an opportunity. So, he didn't stop cultivating the Celestial Yin Yang sutra. The essence of sun kept pouring inside his body as the mystical Yinyang symbol on his dantian glowed brightly.

What was strange about the mystical symbol was that one half of the Yinyang divine symbol was glowing brightly but other half was dim. Suddenly the other half of Yinyang divine symbol glowed with a faint luster. Zhan Chen felt an incredible feeling as his essence energy flowed towards seven hidden meridians.

A different type of energy came from Yinyang divine symbol and it directly mixed with the essence energy of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen could feel the surging power inside his body as pushed his essence energy towards the hidden location of meridians.

With a single push of Zhan Chen, his essence energy charged past through eight hidden meridians. Another set of meridians opened and Zhan Chen officially stepped into second stage of Meridian opening realm.

He didn't come out of his meditation immediately. He took his time to cultivate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra for another period of time. He opened his eyes only after the glowing rays of sun diminished from the sky.

His gaze shifted towards certain direction of his courtyard. "Senior, please come out. This junior makes you wait for me", Zhan Chen said with a smile.

A human figure materialised in that said direction. It was the stern looking old woman who followed after Shen Ruyan earlier to their Zhan family's estate.

"Congratulation, brat. Looks like your luck is good. You managed a breakthrough in this short period", the old woman spoke after coming out of concealment.

"Senior, how may I adress you?", Zhan Chen asked. He had already checked her cultivation realm. She had a cultivation that surpassed the Core Condensation realm. In the entire Red cloud kingdom, Core Condensation realm experts were considered as apex existences. Now that Zhan Chen had asserted her cultivation, he could imagine the power of the peak clans.

"I am Liu Nanxi. You can call me aunt Liu if you want. Thanks for treating Ruyan. This old lady will remember your grace forever", the old woman spike with a genuine expression on her face.

"Aunt, no need to thank me. It is I who should thank Ruyan. She chooses to believe me despite my low strength", Zhan Chen replied with a chuckle on his face.

A small smile came to the face of Liu Nanxi after she heard the reply of Zhan Chen. She secretly nodded her head as Zhan Chen didn't have any arrogance despite his alchemy acheivement.

"Come with me to the Firecloud treasure pavilion. I have already spoken with your mother", Liu Nanxi spoke to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen nodded his head. "Aunt Liu please give me two minutes. I have to inform little Tao before I leave", Zhan Chen replied.

"Take your time", Liu Nanxi spoke before fading into the environment again. "A good concealment technique", Zhan Chen thought inside his mind. He walked outside of his living place and found little Tao sitting on a chair. He quickly informed her and reminded her to inform Zhan Qingyue about his departure. Then he went back to his courtyard. Liu Nanxi reappeared and brought Zhan Chen out of Zhan family's estate.

Upon reaching the Firecloud treasure pavilion, Zhan Chen looked at the three storied building Infront of him. it was luxurious and grand but Zhan Chen didn't feel surprised.

He walked with Liu Nanxi and followed after her to the second floor of the Firecloud treasure pavilion.

The second floor of Firecloud treasure pavilion was fully decorated and Zhan Chen quickly noticed Shen Ruyan who was smiling at him.

Zhan Chen became stunned for a moment after seeing her gorgeous face. He had already seen her true face once but he still became mesmerized after seeing her peerless appearance. Her smile was increasing her charm and Zhan Chen became entranced for a moment. Shen Ruyan smiled more sweetly after seeing the stunned appearance of Zhan Chen.

She looked around but couldn't find Liu Nanxi. She had already disappeared without alerting anyone. "You are looking truly beautiful", Zhan Chen spoke after a moment.

"Thanks for the pill. Now I can cultivate again", Shen Ruyan spoke. Zhan Chen couldn't extract himself from her beauty as his gaze traced downward. Her alluring figure lit the fire in Zhan Chen's heart.

"So, about our agreement, do you agree?", Zhan Chen asked. Shen Ruyan looked at the eyes of Zhan Chen and after matching her eyes with him, she shyly nodded her head.
