Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

CHAPTER 386: Soul Searching Technique

"Fairy Gao, Old Demon Qingyang,"

As the conversation became lively, Xiao Chong easily began to utter derogatory remarks about Liu Yu.

Years of being a loose cultivator had granted him the ability to speak appropriately to anyone, whether they were human or ghost.

By belittling their shared "enemy," the two managed to establish a faint sense of camaraderie.

Suddenly, the female cultivator of the Gao surname extended her delicate, fair fingers, stopping Xiao Chong's words in their tracks.

"Daoist Xiao, these matters can be discussed slowly later."

"A moment of passion is worth a thousand gold; what are you waiting for, Daoist?"

Unbeknownst to them, the female cultivator's eyes shimmered with a watery light, her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness, making her look irresistibly charming.

She possessed both the bashfulness of a young girl and the allure of a mature woman.

"Fairy Gao,"

Xiao Chong murmured, feeling an intense heat ignite within him at that moment, suddenly reaching out to grasp her tender hand.

A gentle tug pulled her soft body into his embrace.

"Something’s not right."

"At the foundation establishment stage, Xiao Chong shouldn't be so unable to control himself in the face of mere feminine allure."

"Is it a charm technique?"

Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart stirred, and he suddenly had an inkling.

The Heavenly Harmony Sect was famous for its dual cultivation techniques, and among the "Six Harmonious Sons," Ma Jinlian indeed left a profound impression on him.

Recalling the words and actions of the female cultivator, it was evident there were traces of charm techniques at play.

"As expected of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, even a resolute foundation establishment cultivator can be influenced. Their charm techniques are truly formidable."

"Judging by the intimacy between these two, it seems this isn't their first time engaging like this."

Liu Yu gripped the Li Xuan Sword in his hand, retrieved the newly acquired Crimson Flame Tower, and stepped into the cave dwelling.

He had no interest in watching their interaction and was not patient enough to wait for their "performance" to finish before continuing his inquiries.

At this moment, the art of spirit preservation within his mind was just the thing he needed.

"Whoosh"

Strange sounds echoed in the cave.

However, what Xiao Chong did not notice was that beneath the surface of their closeness, the female cultivator's eyes were exceptionally clear.

The Heavenly Harmony Sect's characteristic technique was quietly in operation.

The "yang energy" of a foundation establishment cultivator was a tremendous boon to her, akin to a miraculous elixir; it could not be wasted.

The glow from the campfire was soft yet not blinding, illuminating the cave brightly.

Next to the campfire, an unknown layer of fuzzy beast skin had been spread out, now somewhat disheveled.

But just as the two were about to reach their peak state, a crisp sound of clapping echoed from the entrance of the cave, causing them to pause.

"Clap, clap, clap"

As the applause rang out, a young cultivator in a black robe appeared before them.

It was Liu Yu!

"What a beautiful moment; you two truly seem to be in high spirits."

"What a pair of wild mandarin ducks!"

His words initially came off as casual and mocking, but soon turned icy and chilling, stirring a sense of dread.

"Who is it?!"

Even amidst their intoxicated exchange, the female cultivator of the Gao surname remained vigilant against the outside world.

At the moment the voice sounded, she moved, wrapping her dress around her body and looking toward the cave entrance.

But when she clearly saw the visitor, a tremor ran through her heart, giving rise to an indescribable fear!

"Old Qingyang... Daoist Qingyang."

Xiao Chong's reaction lagged a beat, but he had already donned his robes, stammering his words.

"Could this person have been tracking me?"

"Then everything we just said was overheard in its entirety?!"

As this thought crossed his mind, panic and fear spread across Xiao Chong's face.
