In the night sky, a headless corpse strangely floated in mid-air.

Shu Han's heart thumped, "It can't be that he's not dead yet!"

Shangguan Ruolin's eyes were also full of doubts. She mustered a little strength to sweep with the Clear Bright Spiritual Eye and confirmed, "Impossible! Demonic cultivators who have been beheaded by the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword can't possibly survive."

"So, this..."

Shu Han looked over and found that a silver secret rune lit up on Gui Li's corpse. Then, like it was contagious, Gui Li's corpse was covered in these silvery-white tadpole-like runes.

Suddenly, Gui Li's body began to rapidly expand in the shining secret runes, and with a bang, it exploded into a cloud of dust in the air.

"This..."

Shu Han was puzzled, a demonic cultivator's body could explode?

Shangguan Ruolin said, "This is a secret technique planted in his body by a master, to prevent others from spying on the secrets hidden in his body."

What important secret could a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator have? Would it need a master to plant secret runes to prevent leaks?

Shangguan Ruolin and Shu Han looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts.

"Immaculate Realm!"

Shangguan Ruolin murmured, "It seems that in this Immaculate Realm, the demonic cultivators will make big moves. Indeed, it's not a good time to sneak in. It's already dangerous to fight over the Heavenly Creation Fluid in the Immaculate Realm, and now there are these demonic cultivators stirring up trouble..."

Shu Han saw a hint of retreat in Shangguan Ruolin's eyes.

Shu Han asked puzzledly, "Linlin, didn't you say before that no matter how dangerous the Immaculate Realm is, we have to try? Without the Heavenly Creation Fluid, what about your Golden Core injury?"

Shangguan Ruolin showed hesitation on her face, mumbling, "There might be other opportunities...not necessarily needing the Heavenly Creation Fluid..."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Ruolin felt a surge of blood, her face turning pale and then green. Her body couldn't stop shaking. Her body also suddenly grew and shrank, her entire state was extremely unstable.

"Linlin!"

Shu Han quickly supported Shangguan Ruolin, transferring his newly gathered magic power into her body. However, as soon as Shu Han transferred his magic power, he was stunned by the condition within Shangguan Ruolin's body.

Shu Han found that the mess in Shangguan Ruolin's body was not because of overusing the Golden Core's origin, but a more difficult reason.

At this moment, Shangguan Ruolin's meridians, dantian, and Golden Core had become a battlefield.

Two different types of magic powers were clashing in her body. Each collision caused huge damage to Shangguan Ruolin's body, and her Golden Core was crumbling under the tug of these two magic powers, with more cracks appearing on it.

"Linlin! Are you... practicing two cultivation methods?"

Shangguan Ruolin huddled in Shu Han's arms, silently enduring the clash inside her body.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Shu Han knew that Qi Refining cultivators could have multiple cultivation methods, but once the foundation was established, they had to choose one method as the basis. If one wants to change the method, one must abandon the previous method and re-cultivate, a process that would be extremely weak and painful.

It's hard to change the cultivation method, let alone cultivate two at the same time.

Practicing two different cultivation methods would inevitably lead to conflict between them, requiring a long time of dedicated cultivation to maintain the balance of magic power. Moreover, the mutual repulsion between the two methods would reduce their fighting power.

It is time-consuming and laborious, and the gain is not worth the loss. No one has ever been willing to do this.

One of the methods in Shangguan Ruolin's body is her commonly used "Sky Palace Six Harmony Secrets". Shu Han was unclear about the other method, but it felt more like Shangguan Ruotong.

Shu Han realized, "So your cultivation base dropped, and your Golden Core shattered, not because the 'Sky Palace Six Harmony Secrets' went into demonic cultivation, but because of the conflict between the two cultivation methods! Why would you want to practice two methods at the same time?"

Shangguan Ruolin moaned in pain and didn't want to answer Shu Han's question.

Shu Han immediately said, "Never mind, I won't ask. Tell me, how can the conflict between your cultivation methods be eased?"

Shangguan Ruolin said tremulously, "In this situation...only treasures naturally possessing five elemental spiritual powers can alleviate it..."

Shu Han suddenly understood.

Mining for top-grade spirit stones and fighting for the Heavenly Creation Fluid, Shangguan Ruolin's main purpose was to alleviate the conflict between her cultivation methods.

However, now Shangguan Ruolin was in a state of extreme danger, and the two cultivation methods could shatter her Golden Core at any time.

Where could he find a treasure that possesses the five elemental spiritual powers in such a short time?

Shu Han was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly, he slapped his head.

Wasn't he himself possessing the five elemental spiritual powers?

Five elements spiritual root!

Watching Shangguan Ruolin convulsing and fainting in his arms, Shu Han didn't have time to think, directly cut his finger, and forced his essence blood to squeeze out of the wound with his spiritual power. He put his blood-soaked finger on Shangguan Ruolin's lips.

The bright red blood flowed into her mouth from her lips.

Shu Han constantly probed her body condition. After his blood was ingested, the conflict of the cultivation methods in Shangguan Ruolin's body was immediately slightly relieved.

Effective!

Shu Han was overjoyed and immediately accelerated the flow of his blood.

Shangguan Ruolin's face gradually improved, and in her daze, she couldn't help but hold Shu Han's finger in her mouth. Her soft tongue couldn't stop licking Shu Han's finger.

The blood of the five elements flowed from her mouth throughout her body, temporarily stopping the internal conflict of the cultivation methods. A flush gradually appeared on her face, and Shu Han's finger felt warmer and warmer.

Shu Han stroked her messy hair, and his suspended heart finally let go. However, the strange feeling from his fingertips made his heart sway, even if his head was dizzy, he wanted to keep going.

Finally, the cultivation methods inside Shangguan Ruolin completely stopped the conflict, allowing her to wake up from the pain.

As soon as she woke up, she felt something strange in her mouth. A comforting warmth was constantly flowing from it, making her heart involuntarily well up with infatuation.

Watching Shangguan Ruolin wake up, Shu Han, panting and pale, smiled and said, "Linlin, you finally woke up..."

Having said that, he fainted.

He couldn't stay awake because he used the Sky Palace Mysterious Secret and lost too much blood.

Shangguan Ruolin's mouth still had a trace of Shu Han's blood. When she tasted the blood in her mouth, she immediately understood what had just happened.

She looked at Shu Han who fell on the ground. Her face was flushed, and she shook her head helplessly.

"Five elements spiritual root... If your cultivation level was higher, I could have devoured you, and I wouldn't need to find any Heavenly Creation Fluid."

Now she was also physically and mentally exhausted, and the situation in her body was not optimistic. Shangguan Ruolin lay tiredly beside Shu Han, took Shu Han's head into her arms, and reproached with a melancholic look, "You little rascal, you make me very tangled..."

The next day.

Shu Han woke up from his faint and suddenly felt his face close to a pair of soft objects, and a strange fragrance hit his nose.

"This..."

Soon Shu Han figured out the situation, and his whole body couldn't help but get excited.

"Calm down! Calm down! I must let Linlin wake up first in this situation, otherwise, she would be awakened and find it awkward. I'm sure I won't have a good ending...Besides, in this situation, I don't seem to want to wake up first! Isn't this better than drinking flower wine?"

Shu Han followed his instincts, gently rubbed inside, and continued to pretend to sleep. However, the next moment, Shangguan Ruolin's voice rang out.

"Awake and still pretending to sleep?"

Shu Han: !!!
