Chapter 80: The Direct Disciple is a Simp!

Though Gu Yunyun possessed a figure that was nothing short of breathtaking, her personality was strikingly cold and direct. The contrast was stark. She spent her days immersed in cultivation, while at night, she would lie on her bamboo bed, gazing up at the starry sky, before gradually falling into sleep.

However, over the past few days, sleep had eluded her. The main reason was that Ye Chen’s side was far too noisy. The noise from Ye Chen’s side wasn’t loud enough to reach her bamboo loft, yet for some inexplicable reason, Gu Yunyun found herself unable to resist sending out her spiritual sense to listen in. And as she listened, her curiosity would grow, wondering how long Ye Chen could maintain his activities. Before long, an entire night would pass by.

Tonight, she lay on her side, her body’s curves creating a mesmerizing contrast, like the peaks of a mountain range, a sight of unrivaled beauty.

“It’s been a whole week….” she mused. “Is Ye Chen’s physique truly this powerful? Doesn’t he fear draining his essence and harming his foundation? Even if it doesn’t harm his foundation, doesn’t he have any intention of focusing on cultivation? Then why did he come to Green Cloud Sect to be my direct disciple? With the token, he could have asked for far more valuable things.”

Gu Yunyun was filled with curiosity about her disciple. As for why she had been eavesdropping all this time, it had everything to do with her cultivation method.

Gu Yunyun had already reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. She was preparing to break through to the Golden Core. But due to her smooth journey thus far, her state of mind was still far from complete. The sounds coming from Ye Chen’s side had introduced massive fluctuations in her state of mind.

Gu Yunyun had a sense that the day she could remain unaffected by the sounds coming from Ye Chen would be the day she was truly ready to break through to the Golden Core. Though the sounds still caused various distractions in her heart, Gu Yunyun had full confidence in herself. With her willpower, she was certain she would succeed.

But before achieving success, she absolutely could not rush into attempting a breakthrough. The path to the Golden Core required one to face the Heart Tribulation. If any weaknesses existed in one’s heart, the breakthrough would inevitably fail. Thus, this was not eavesdropping; it was a part of her cultivation!

Gu Yunyun continued to listen with full focus, yet the faint flush on her face, the beads of fragrant sweat on her forehead, and the occasional sip of spirit wine, each drop flowing like a stream into a valley, revealed that she was not as composed as she appeared.

…

“This Great Joy Zen Method is truly formidable,” Ye Chen murmured to himself.

In the early morning, after merely closing his eyes for a moment, he rose and began his cultivation. Beside him, Lin Ke’er and Lu Jing lay covered in silk quilts, sleeping sweetly, each in a different posture.

For an entire week, Ye Chen had been experimenting with the Great Joy Zen Method. After adjusting for two days, the results were nothing short of terrifying, especially with the support of the Stalactite Jade Spirit Bead Bed.

The cultivation efficiency had nearly reached the same level as actual cultivation. Moreover, the Great Joy Zen was a genuine dual cultivation technique. The benefits were not confined to Ye Chen alone. The two women shared in them as well.

Originally, one would cultivate while the other observed, alternating between the two. Their enthusiasm was not particularly high, and they felt a little reserved. But once they experienced the benefits of cultivation, their motivation skyrocketed.

Now, one would cultivate while the other actively assisted, eager to swap places quickly. Both sought to reap the benefits of their spiritual progress. In their desire to win Ye Chen’s favor, both women threw themselves into learning all kinds of positions. They even began to compete with one another internally, striving for more time.

In short, with the help of the Great Joy Zen Method, Ye Chen’s cultivation speed had practically doubled. Though Ye Chen’s aptitude was average, even with the finest elixirs and the aid of the Stalactite Jade Spirit Bead Bed, he would have needed at least six months to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

But now, in just three months at most, he could potentially break through. With some effort, he might even reach the seventh level within this time frame.

…

When Ye Chen finished his cultivation, both women had already quietly risen. One was preparing breakfast, while the other waited, ready to assist Ye Chen with his morning routine.

As Ye Chen opened his eyes, Lin Ke’er, with a face full of youthful innocence, began to carefully attend to him. Enjoying the delicate service of her slender hands, Ye Chen felt particularly content.
