On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Master!"

Duan Shu smiled, observing her disciple's stunned reaction.

"What's the matter, Yin Yun? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Yin Yun's eyes widened as she tried to find the words to express her astonishment.

"Master, you just surprised me; you shouldn't do that!" She finally managed to say it, her voice filled with a mix of shock and amusement.

Duan Shu chuckled. "Tell that to the foolish girl I have been calling for the past minute, who wasn't even paying attention to her surroundings." Duan Shu raised an eyebrow playfully, teasing Yin Yun.

Yin Yun's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she realized that she had been lost in her own thoughts and hadn't heard her master calling.

"Sorry, Master, I was lost in my thoughts and didn't hear you calling. It won't happen again," Yin Yun apologized, her embarrassment evident in her voice.

Duan Shu's playful expression softened, and he placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "There is no need to apologize, my dear girl. We all get lost in our thoughts sometimes. Just remember to be more present in the future," she advised kindly, her words offering both forgiveness and guidance.

Yin Yun nodded, thankful for her master's understanding.

"Now, little Yun, can you tell me what you need?" Duan Shu said with a grin, her eyes filled with sweetness.

Hearing these words coming from her master's mouth, Yin Yun's face reddened with a blush.

"I... um... nothing. I just wanted to have more sweets!" Yin Yun blurted out, trying to come up with a quick excuse for her absent-mindedness.

She can't tell her master what happened, or she will definitely scold her for entering someone else's room without permission, not to mention eating something that she wasn't supposed to eat.

Duan Shu chuckled, seeing through her apprentice's attempt at covering up her mistake.

'This girl always stutters when she lies; she's bad at lying,' Duan Shu thought to herself.

"Ah, I see," she said playfully. "Well, my dear, I think it's time for a sweet treat break and time for your training to begin."

"Uh," Yin Yun's expression turned from one of nervousness to one of sadness as she realized that she had to train.

She clearly didn't like the idea of training, especially when she could go out and have fun with her sister, Bingxin.

"Umm," she grumbled under her breath.

"Can't I just stay at home today, please~~" She pleaded, trying to use her usual tactic of begging to get her way.

However, Duan Shu wasn't easily swayed.

She had seen this resistance before and knew all of her disciple's tricks. With a stern expression, she shook her head and replied firmly.

"You, Little Troublemaker, these tricks will not work on me, my dear; today you're going to have to train whether you like it or not; your alchemy level has been stagnant for too long."

Yin Yun's pout softened slightly, realizing that her mentor truly cared about her development.

"But master, I always train, and you know that I can't advance in my alchemy without reaching the Meridian Opening Realm; the most I can make right now is Grade 2 Pills.

Whenever I try to make Grade 3 pills, I always run out of energy and fail. It's frustrating, and I feel like I'm not making any progress."

Yin Yun sadly said, her voice filled with disappointment. She had dedicated countless hours to her alchemy practice, but the results were far from satisfying. Despite her best efforts, Yin Yun couldn't seem to break through the barrier that separated her from the Meridian Opening Realm.

Duan Shu nodded understandingly, her eyes filled with self-blame.

She knew her disciple's problem and knew that her disciple needed to breakthrough and enter the Meridian Opening Realm so she could also progress in her alchemy.

Yin Yun has a great talent for the fire law, which made Duan Shu immediately accept her as her disciple, something she had never done before, making Yin Yun her only disciple.

Because she wanted her disciple to have a better foundation, she wanted to concoct a pill called the "Flame Pulse Pill," a Top Notch Grade 4.

The Flame Pulse Pill's ability could help enhance one's affinity with the fire elements and strengthen their fire law cultivation. She believed that if Yin Yun could successfully consume this pill, it would greatly accelerate her progress in the fire law and potentially help her break through into the Meridian Opening Realm.

Making this pill is not hard for someone like Duan Shu, who was an alchemy king.

'Sigh, if only I had the last ingredient," she muttered to herself, glancing at the bed where Yin Yun lay. Her body suddenly stopped moving, and her eyes widened with surprise as she noticed a small tube on the bed.

She picked up the tube and examined it carefully, surprising Yin Yun with her sudden action.

"Master!" Yin Yun's expression changed as she saw her master take the tube in her hand.

She forgot to hide the tube because of her master's sudden appearance.

Duan Shu opened the tube cautiously, her heart pounding with anticipation. She carefully sniffed the contents of the tube, which contained a white liquid.

Duan Shu's expression changed from frustration to excitement. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that this tube contained the missing ingredient she needed for the pill. Excitement surged through her veins, and she couldn't help but smile at the unexpected stroke of luck.

Unlike Yin Yun, who was inexperienced, Duan Shu had spent years studying alchemy and could spot any ingredient with just a glance. The white liquid in the tube was none other than the Yang Qi, and a good one at that.

'No, it's even better!' Duan Shu cried in her mind.

With just one glance, she could feel the energy that the Yang Qi possessed. It was vibrant and pulse-pounding.

The smell was intoxicating, filling the room with a sweet and earthy aroma. Duan Shu used her Divine sense to further analyze the Yang Qi and was amazed by its purity and potency.

She knew that with this ingredient, she could create a powerful pill that would greatly enhance her disciple's cultivation.

Excitement surged through her as she carefully stored the precious liquid in a secure container, making sure not to waste even a single drop. Duan Shu couldn't wait to begin her experiments and unlock the full potential of the Yang Qi.

"M-Master, what are you doing?!" Yin Yun exclaimed as she saw her master hide the tube.

Duan Shu turned towards Yin Yun with a gleam of excitement in her eyes. "Yin Yun, where did you get this pure Yang Qi?!" Duan Shu asked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and urgency.

"Yang Qi!!" Now that her master told her what this white liquid was called, Yin Yun's eyes widened in realization.

|Puffff|

Fire erupted from Yin Yun's face as she blurted out, "M-Master, a-are you sure that's Yang Qi?" Yin Yun stammered, her mind racing with thoughts of what she had done.

If it was really Yang Qi, doesn't that mean that… She ate it!

Duan Shu didn't notice her disciple's emotions and continued to explain, "Yes, Yin Yun, it is indeed Yang Qi. The purest I've seen so far.

With that, I can finally make your pill, and you can break through to the Meridian Opening Realm," Duan Shu said excitedly.

She didn't realize her disciple's turbid emotion as Yin Yun continued to scream in her mind.

The realization of what she had unknowingly consumed overwhelmed her.

'Ah!! Did I just consume cum!' As the shocking truth sank in, Yin Yun's mind raced with a mix of disgust and disbelief.

She couldn't fathom how she had inadvertently consumed something like that. The taste, strangely enough, had been surprisingly pleasant to her palate, adding a layer of confusion to her already chaotic emotions.

Now that she has thought about it, where did this Yang Qi come from?

No, Yin Yun shook in her mind, her head in denial, but all the evidence pointed to the source of this Yang Qi.

'Did I just take Brother Tian's cum!' A blush crept up her cheeks as she entertained the thought.

'But the taste was so good! Ahh! I can't stop thinking about it!" Yin Yun's mind raced with a mixture of shame, desire, and curiosity.

She couldn't believe that she had unknowingly consumed Brother Tian's essence.

The realization made her question her own desires and left her feeling conflicted. However, despite her internal struggle, Yin Yun couldn't deny the undeniable taste she had experienced. The conflicting emotions continued to torment her, leaving her mind in a state of turmoil.

As for her master, she just looked at her disciple with a weird expression of concern and confusion.

'What happened to this girl? In the first place, where did she get this Yang Qi?!' as Yin Yun grappled with her emotions.

Duan Shu opened her mouth to speak, her voice filled with a cold tone this time. "Yin Yun, from where did you get this Yang Qi?" This time, Duan Shu's question was filled with seriousness.

Yin Yun panicked even more and stammered, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. She knew that revealing the source of the Yang Qi could have severe consequences, but she also couldn't hide from her master.

With tears streaming down her face, she finally managed to utter, "I... I'm sorry!"
