He was waiting for his backup. As a Golden Core cultivator, he was no longer the same as before. His concept of time had gradually become quite indifferent. Now he had plenty of time to patiently wait for things that couldn't be rushed.
However, the other party didn't keep him waiting for too long. A few days later, a short and pretty figure walked into the inn, went up the stairs, and gently knocked on his door.
Yun Chu'an opened the door and immediately saw a familiar figure standing in front of him, smiling sweetly.
It was none other than his beloved wife, Hua Caiyan.
The girl had regained her stunning beauty and had even dressed up a bit, tying her hair into pigtails and adding a red dot under each eye as decoration.
Although she wasn't wearing her signature red dance dress, but rather a simple linen outfit that resembled that of an ordinary person, her natural beauty still shone through, making her exceptionally beautiful.
The moment the room door opened, the girl in front of him smiled sweetly.
Then, she took the initiative to open her arms, hug Yun Chuan's neck, stand on tiptoe, raise her head, and kiss him.
Chapter 730 The Primordial Qi
Yun Chu'an also tightly embraced Hua Caiyan in his arms, kissing her passionately and tenderly.
Hua Caiyan felt a fire burning within her body; the longing accumulated from their long separation had transformed into an irresistible yearning.
She longed to take things further with him, to achieve a more intimate touch. So she embraced him and continued forward into the inn, closing the door behind her.
Yun Chu'an knew what she needed right now, so he didn't delay. After she closed the door, he immediately picked her up and rolled backward, and the two of them rolled onto the bed together. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Throughout the process, he passionately kissed the girl's lips while his hands eagerly unbuttoned her clothes.
He skillfully stripped her naked, then pushed the girl down onto the bed, continuing to kiss her while reaching out to caress her smooth, naked body.
"Um……"
Hua Caiyan's breathing became heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat began to appear on her fragrant shoulders, making her whole body hot and her lower body already wet.
Then, Yun Chu'an stepped forward and completely took possession of her body.
"Oh……"
The vixen let out a melodious moan, and what followed was Yun Chu'an's relentless assault, like a storm.
The two first made love on the bed, changing into various positions. Then, he pressed Hua Caiyan to the ground, placed her on a chair, put her on a table, and even pressed her against the wall next to him, engaging in dual cultivation and intercourse in various positions.
Hua Caiyan moaned wantonly, her moans rising higher and higher, spewing out all sorts of lewd and obscene words, which ignited Yun Chu'an's lust.
Later, the girl even partially transformed back into her original form: pointed, furry fox ears grew on her head, her hands became large, furry fox paws, and a fluffy, huge, orange-red fox tail extended from her rear end, sweeping back and forth across Yun Chu'an's face as her mood changed.
Two hours later, this exhilarating dual cultivation finally came to an end. The two lay back down on the bed, embracing each other and kissing repeatedly, enjoying the afterglow and tenderness of their climax.
Yun Chu'an lay on his side on the bed, his arms tightly wrapped around the little fox in his arms, who was covered in sweat and steaming hot. He watched her nestled against his chest, her flushed face full of satisfaction, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Hua Caiyan maintained her half-human, half-fox state, too lazy to retract her ears, leaving them exposed.
Her little head nestled against Yun Chu'an's chest, rubbing her face and head against him repeatedly, like a little animal snuggling in its owner's arms, acting spoiled towards him.
Yun Chu'an gently patted her smooth back, tenderly cuddling her. After a while, Hua Caiyan said sweetly, "I'm so happy to be with you, ah, I really want to go home soon..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an felt a pang of pain in his heart. He then lowered his head and gently stroked her temple: "If you miss home, come back. Our family has moved to a big city. It's changed a lot since then."
"Besides, my eldest sister has already returned home. We can still think of more ways to resist Qin. Caiyan, you don't need to keep humiliating yourself like this."
His voice was full of heartache. Hearing this, Hua Caiyan felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that this man cared about her. Immediately, she hummed softly twice, quite enjoying it.
“I know,” she said, “but the thing I need to do is almost done. If I leave now, all my efforts will be in vain, and I’ll feel really unwilling to give up.”
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "What? What new plan do you have?"
"It's about stealing the method of making terracotta warriors with the strength of a Golden Core cultivator," Hua Caiyan whispered. "Let me tell you, I'm almost there. Now, I just need to figure out one last thing: the Primordial Chaos Qi—how exactly do these Qin people process and utilize it!"
Yun Chu'an's eyes lit up. Xuanhuang Mother Qi was an extremely precious material, formed from the most substantial "Earth Spirit" among the vast amount of the Five Elements.
Although not as potent as "breath soil," they can produce far more each time they are excavated, and are therefore more widely used in various industries.
Oh, actually it's not that widespread. At least, Golden Core cultivators, if they're not wealthy enough, can't afford such things.
But for a super-large vassal state like Qin, which could be considered a hegemon, it was no big deal.
“I already know that this ‘Primordial Qi’ is the key to their creation of Golden Core level terracotta warriors. Moreover, they are currently researching the creation of Nascent Soul level terracotta warriors, precisely to use this thing for their research.”
Hua Caiyan spoke softly, her large eyes blinking, her pupils sparkling with excitement as she reveled in uncovering such a huge secret: "Right now, I'm researching this. If we can master it, then our family will be able to create terracotta warriors with Golden Core cultivation levels to play with in the future!"
She imagined it all, raised her little fist, and suddenly punched him in the chest: "Aren't you always so good at making those assembly lines? Once I learn how, we'll go back and make them like that, hehe, then our family will have far more terracotta warriors than the Qin people, and let Ying Xuan be arrogant all the time, humph!"
She hummed twice, showing great confidence in Yun Chu'an. Yun Chu'an was also very confident, but not in him, but in the system.
"How much longer will it take?" he asked softly. "I have a mission in Qin this time. I need to disrupt Qin's arsenal production. Caiyan, I need your cooperation. Of course, I can cooperate with you too."
Hua Caiyan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "At most three months. If I don't get it after three months, who knows when I'll get it again. There's no point in continuing to lie low."
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "Why? Is something big going to happen in the next few months?"
Hua Caiyan nodded vigorously: "Yes! Chu'an, do you know about the 'Great Emperor Houde'?"
Yun Chuan said, "I don't know!"
Hua Caiyan rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly put on a proud expression: "I knew you wouldn't know. Sigh, I, your older sister, have to give you a little lesson..."
Yun Chu'an slipped his fingers into her armpits and gently tickled her twice, which immediately made the little girl giggle and punch him with her little fists.
After she had made enough noise, she stopped and continued, "It was thousands of years ago, a selfless Nascent Soul expert. In the Loess Desert further west of the Qin Kingdom, he built a huge cave heaven that belonged to him. When he had no hope of breaking through to the Integration Stage and was about to perish, he did not choose to leave the cave heaven to his descendants, but chose to benefit all living beings."
"Therefore, he transformed winter into a secret realm, continuously drawing upon the raging earth spirits of the desert, so that terrifying sandstorms that blot out the sky would never form there again, and allowing the cultivators there to live in peace."
"The local people were grateful to him, so they took the first two characters of '厚德载物' (houde zaiwu, meaning 'great virtue carries all things') and respectfully called him 'Great Emperor Houde'."
Yun Chu'an nodded slightly: "Oh, okay, then I understand the story of this great emperor, but what does it have to do with the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang?"
Hua Caiyan said softly, "The changes have occurred in the last few hundred years. The secret realm, which has accumulated too many frenzied 'earth spirits' in the desert, has gradually begun to mutate. Some violent earth spirit giants have appeared in it, and some of them have even left the secret realm to harm the surrounding people."
"To resolve these threats, the King of Qin personally entered the secret realm to eliminate them. But who would have thought that after he destroyed these earth spirit giants, he would actually be able to obtain a wisp of 'primordial energy' as a reward."
"The King of Qin was overjoyed. From that time on, he would organize a special team to enter the secret realm every once in a while to kill these earth spirit giants and collect the 'Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi'."
After listening, Yun Chu'an understood: "The blessings left by the 'Great Emperor Houde' for the benefit of all people have been completely squandered by the Qin people."
Chapter 731 The Ruthless Cult, are they teammates?
Hua Caiyan curled her lips: "That's right, these guys are greedy and selfish, they want to get everything for themselves and won't leave anything for others."
Her complaints, full of grievances, clearly indicated that she had witnessed many injustices and suffered a lot of grievances here.
But she quickly composed herself and continued, "In any case, this place is now practically Qin's private property. And soon, it will be the day this secret realm is opened as usual."
"At that time, a large batch of Xuanhuang Mother Qi will be sent to the arsenal for us to process. I plan to learn this technique during the process, so that maybe in the future we will be able to produce terracotta warriors stably."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an nodded slightly, and then asked, "What is the approximate strength of the hunting teams that enter the secret realm?"
Hua Caiyan said, "Most of them should be at the Golden Core stage."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an seemed to be deep in thought.
So that's how it is, the Golden Core stage.
So, could I...?
To ruin this hunt?
Or perhaps it will sweep away all the primordial energy?
In this way, the Qin state will not be able to continue producing large quantities of terracotta warriors with the strength of the Golden Elixir in a short period of time, and the pace of the war will inevitably be slowed down.
In this way, he could give a satisfactory answer to both the Zhou emperor and Jiang Qingke.
As he pondered this, he gently stroked Hua Caiyan's hair and asked, "Caiyan, could you help me find out if there's any way I can infiltrate this hunting team?"
Hua Caiyan shook her head: "It's unlikely through normal channels, but..."
A slight smile played on her lips as she said softly, "This year's hunt might be quite chaotic, so you're not without a chance."
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "What do you mean?"
Hua Caiyan continued, "Chu An, have you ever heard of the 'Ruthless Sect'?"
Yun Chu'an nodded: "I heard that when they entered the city, they used this as an excuse to ask me for a large bribe."
Hua Caiyan immediately laughed: "Really? In that case, the scene will probably be even more chaotic."
Yun Chu'an suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember that Qin official said that these evil spirits came to Qin, apparently targeting the scions of noble families, preparing for revenge?"
Hua Caiyan nodded vigorously: "Yes! Ah, you have no idea how inhuman the people of Qin really are. The King of Qin's policy is to reward military merit with titles, so once there is any military action, especially against non-human cultivators, the sons of these aristocratic families will generally kill innocent people and claim credit for it..."
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, but still couldn't help wanting to laugh: "There's something I want to tell you, but it's really awful..."
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted. He knew this girl had a penchant for hellish jokes, but he wasn't going to spoil her fun: "What? Tell me more."
“That’s right, the Heartless Cult…” Hua Caiyan covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling as she suppressed her urge, “Their doctrine is perverse, requiring people to kill their own parents and lovers. Such a twisted and evil path could never flourish in any country, but somehow, it’s happening in Qin…”
"Indeed, many young cultivators' parents died at a young age because of Qin's oppressive rule and the killing of innocent people to claim credit."
"Therefore, they can skip this step, join the 'Ruthless Cult' with hatred in their hearts, and then prepare to take revenge on the young scions of the noble families of Qin."
As she spoke, her smile grew wider. Mentioning the recent events, her face was filled with undisguised mockery of the Qin nobles: "Why is Xianyang so heavily guarded lately? It's because the secret realm is about to open, and the 'Ruthless Cult's' avengers have also received this news. They're just waiting for this opportunity to launch an attack, to wipe out the Qin hunting teams in one fell swoop, and inflict heavy losses on them!"
She sighed, her tone tinged with regret, yet unable to conceal her schadenfreude: "Alas, I originally thought that with Qin's tight security, the Ruthless Sect wouldn't be able to easily infiltrate. But since even the gatekeeper is demanding bribes from you, I'm afraid..."
"The Qin people are likely to face dire consequences on this trip to the secret realm."
The more she talked, the more she couldn't help but laugh. Yun Chu'an, however, didn't rush to laugh. Analyzing this information, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
From this perspective, it seems that the "Ruthless Sect" might be a potential ally in the fight against the Qin state, but...
Their doctrine is "murder of parents and loved ones," which is absolutely blatant heresy and demonic cultivation. Is it really worth it to join forces with truly evil and heretical sects just to fight against the Qin state?
After all, they weren't like You Wensi... whose power was completely under his control.
Wild, heretical cultivators are still a bit too dangerous.
His mind raced, calculating the possibilities and their gains and losses. Hua Caiyan nestled in his arm and then whispered, "Oh, Mr. Idea King, do you have a plan in mind now?"
Yun Chu'an reached out and gently flicked her nipple, causing her to slap his hand away.
Only then did he say, "I do have an idea, but my cultivation level is still too low, so I must proceed with caution..."
Hua Caiyan rolled her eyes at him: "You're telling me your cultivation level—no, I mean your strength—is considered weak? Oh right, you've broken through to the late Golden Core stage now, right? How about it? Have you ever tried fighting a Nascent Soul stage enemy? Could you hold your own?"
While she was here, she was unaware that her family had been besieged by the Qin army, and that Wang Ji had been defeated and forced to flee after being reduced to only a Nascent Soul.
Yun Chu'an nodded: "I've fought them. I can reliably defeat those in the early Nascent Soul stage, but I can't kill them. I probably couldn't beat those in the mid-Nascent Soul stage before, but now I've developed a unique secret technique, so I'm not sure if I can win."
As he spoke, his eyes gleamed: "When I have the chance, I'll definitely give it a try!"
Hua Caiyan was speechless upon hearing this, then reached out and pinched his chest hard: "Listen to what you're saying! You're only at the late Golden Core stage! Everyone else is thinking about how to make up for their weaknesses and reliably defeat opponents of the same realm, and you, on the other hand, are thinking about how to cross a major realm and then a minor realm to kill enemies..."
While dodging, Yun Chuan said, "This shows that I'm being realistic. Look how dangerous it is to enter the secret realm this time. What if there's a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator leading the team, plus dozens of Golden Core cultivators attacking us? I can't fight them, and I can't run away. What if I perish in the secret realm?"
Hua Caiyan retorted angrily, "That just shows you're stupid! Seeing an enemy like that and instead of running away immediately, you stayed and fought them, which is just courting death!"
She was furious, feeling that this man was deliberately showing off, and pinched him several times to vent her anger. "You, Yonglin, are thinking of Lin Kong, are you, Lin Zaizai, even here...?"
Yun Chu'an chuckled and waited until she finished pinching before embracing her again, kissing her, and then, while kneading her soft breasts with one hand, continued the previous topic: "Let's get down to business, Caiyan. Could you help me find out if this team has a Nascent Soul expert leading them? And what is their approximate cultivation level?"
Hua Caiyan didn't mind his mischievous hand, but upon hearing this, she looked distressed: "How could I possibly find out this for you... Oh, it seems I actually do have a way to find out for you."
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She shook her head and pondered for a while: "I'll give it a try. If I'm lucky, it should work."
Yun Chu'an lowered his head and kissed her cheek again, praising, "I knew my Caiyan was capable. So, could you help me find a more reliable disguise? That way I can infiltrate the hunting team..."
Hua Caiyan finally couldn't hold back anymore, giving him a big eye roll and saying disdainfully, "Find your own way to get it! I'm not getting it for you, how could I possibly have the ability to get a Golden Core cultivator..."
She muttered to herself, and Yun Chu'an, knowing that such things couldn't be forced, said softly, "Help me find a suitable target, then I'll take action, defeat him, and finally replace him..."
Hua Caiyan nodded, her expression thoughtful: "That's possible... Let me think about it..."
The two discussed the matter back and forth, and a brand new plan gradually took shape during their conversation...
Chapter 732 Infiltrating the Secret Realm
Hua Caiyan stayed at the inn booked by Yun Chuan for three days.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay longer and continue to be intimate with the man she loved; it was just that her leave this time was already short.
She had managed to squeeze out three days; if she didn't go back soon, the people at the arsenal would become suspicious.
For the next three days, she spent all her time with Yun Chuan. During the day, she would hold his hand and wander around Xianyang City, leisurely spending time with him. At night, they would make love in the inn, engaging in sexual intercourse and dual cultivation until the world seemed to turn dark.
Three days later, Hua Caiyan, who had already satisfied her desires countless times, kissed him goodbye with a lingering, wistful expression.
Afterwards, the girl changed her disguise again and returned to the arsenal where she had previously hidden, continuing to lie in wait and steal Qin's confidential information.
Yun Chu'an was not idle either; he also began to take action, changing identities to gather information and intelligence.
