"Little Qiang, you... You're actually at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage?" Ye Qingcheng arrived on her Flying Sword in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, sizing him up from head to toe as if seeing him for the first time.

"That's right, this is my true Cultivation Base," Wang Xiaoqiang said with full confidence.

"Little Qiang, how did you conceal your Cultivation Base?" Ye Qingcheng asked in amazement.

"This... is my secret, I cannot tell you. If I do, you will be in danger, and you mustn't tell anyone else either..." Wang Xiaoqiang said as he emitted 200 Spirit Stones, solemnly and seriously adding, "Remember, my Cultivation Base is at the Early Golden Core Stage..."

"What? How come your..." At that moment, Ye Qingcheng noticed that Wang Xiaoqiang's Cultivation Base had reverted to the Early Golden Core Stage, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You... You..."

"Alright, Qingcheng, don't ask any more; it is what it is, you mustn't tell anyone, otherwise, I will show you no mercy..."

Ye Qingcheng's beautiful face changed as she immediately leaned into Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace, "Little Qiang, you don't even trust me? I, I was planning to entrust my entire life to you..."

"Hmm," Wang Xiaoqiang embraced Ye Qingcheng's delicate form, "I trust you. Stick with me from now on, and I promise your family will be safe and no one in the Cultivation Realm will dare to bully you..."

"Hmm, Little Qiang, rest assured, I, Ye Qingcheng, will only ever stick with you, Wang Xiaoqiang, in this lifetime," Ye Qingcheng nuzzled her beautiful lotus-like face into Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder and softly murmured.

Wang Xiaoqiang brought Ye Qingcheng back to the ground. At this time, the Donkey Saint and the Demon Boar had already stripped Dual-Faced Impermanence of all his treasures and handed them over to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Master, please inspect these; these are all that were found on Dual-Faced Impermanence, as far as we know, there's nothing else..."

"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang looked and saw there were six Spirit Stones and a copy of "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" and a Storage Ring.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the six Spirit Stones from Donkey Saint's hand and directly tossed them to Ye Qingcheng, "Here, they're yours!"

Seeing the six Spirit Stones, Ye Qingcheng immediately caught them with joy. Although the Spirit Stones were not of Superior Grade, they would fetch a price of six million in Taiyi Sect's transactions.

Wang Xiaoqiang handed over the six million worth of Spirit Stones without another word, filling Ye Qingcheng's heart with sweetness.

Wang Xiaoqiang then took the ring from the Demon Boar's hand and asked, "Tell me, what is this ring for?"

"Master, this is a Storage Ring!" The Demon Boar was quite surprised that Wang Xiaoqiang, a Nascent Soul Old Monster, did not know about Storage Rings; however, he dared not voice it out, instead patiently explaining, "As the name implies, a Storage Ring is used to store items, especially those inconvenient to carry. Anything can be placed inside, and this storage ring even has a fresh-keeping function, for things like food or pills…"

Having heard this, Wang Xiaoqiang understood and directly interrupted the Demon Boar, "Then, how many items can this ring store..."

"Master, Storage Rings are categorized into three grades: Lower, Middle, and Superior. The Lower Grade, often nameless, also known as a basic Storage Ring, is not very spacious, about one cubic meter, fitting only miscellaneous items. The Middle Grade is a bit more advanced, comparable to a small room, while Dual-Faced Impermanence's ring here is a Superior Grade, known as a Sumeru Ring, with interior space as large as a small mountain. Master, you can completely experience it yourself..."

"How do I experience it?" Wang Xiaoqiang was genuinely clueless about the knowledge of the Cultivation Realm.

A peculiar smile appeared on the Demon Boar's face as he honestly explained, "Master, since Dual-Faced Impermanence has perished, this ring has become masterless. Just drop a drop of Essence Blood on it, and it will bind to your spirit. Then with a mere thought, your spirit can enter the ring..."

"I see," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he bit his index finger, dropping a Blood Pearl onto the Sumeru Ring, which quickly soaked into the ring. Then Wang Xiaoqiang felt a connection form with the Sumeru Ring in his hand.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang did not immediately enter the ring to inspect its interior, but instead took the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" from the Demon Boar's hand, asking, "Tell me, is this Cultivation Technique orthodox or an Evil Cultivation Method..."

"Master, this Cultivation Technique can be cultivated by anyone, righteous or evil. However, it requires that cultivators at least be at the Foundation Establishment Stage and above, and they must cultivate it together. As for the cultivation process, I won't elaborate further; it is all outlined in the scripture. You'll understand once you read it... This Cultivation Technique may be disdained by others, but when cultivated, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. In cultivation, one can achieve Yin and Yang mutual reinforcement with their partner, harmonizing their constitutions, mutually enhancing both..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, not a foolish man, immediately understood what this Dual Cultivation Manual entail from the Demon Boar's explanation. Although the Dual Cultivation Manual was frowned upon by others, as long as no one knew about it, what was there to fear? Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang slipped the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique" into his bosom, "Hmm, such a technique disdained by others should not stay in the world; I will destroy it later..."

The Donkey Saint and the Demon Boar saw this and their faces broke into strange smiles.

"Alright, you two can leave now. Remember what I've said, and also, act as if today's events never happened. No one is to speak of this to outsiders; otherwise, I will show no mercy!"

The last three words, Wang Xiaoqiang uttered very heavily. The Donkey Saint and the Demon Boar trembled at the words, and then stammeringly acknowledged and scurried away as if fleeing.

Seeing the two leave, Wang Xiaoqiang brought the storage ring up to his eyes for a closer look. He saw that the ring was engraved with a mountain, and beneath the mountain were two tiny characters—Sumeru.

Wang Xiaoqiang's will stirred, and he entered the Sumeru Ring to inspect its internal space.

Upon entering the Sumeru Ring, Wang Xiaoqiang indeed found that the Demon Boar had not lied—the space inside the ring was extraordinarily vast, truly enormous like a small mountain. He swiftly made a round within and, finding no items, slightly disappointed, he exited his consciousness.

Just then, he realized Ye Qingcheng was calling him, "Little Qiang, what happened to you? Why didn't you respond when I called?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I had just gone inside the ring to check and didn't hear your calls."

"Oh," Ye Qingcheng suddenly said, and then excitedly added, "Little Qiang, with this storage ring, things will be much more convenient from now on. We can put all our personal belongings inside…"

"Yes, you're right," Wang Xiaoqiang put the package that contained Ye Qingcheng's Jade Crystal Sword, dried food, and other personal belongings women used into the Sumeru Ring. Then, he took out the 'Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique' he was about to put in, when Ye Qingcheng said, "Little Qiang, aren't you supposed to destroy this manual?"

"Why destroy such a good dual cultivation manual...?" Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled slyly, then suddenly pulled Ye Qingcheng into an embrace, his arm around her slender waist... "Qingcheng, how about we start practicing this technique together?"

"Tsk tsk! I'm not going to practice with you…" Ye Qingcheng's face flushed with shyness immediately, and she nipped Wang Xiaoqiang lightly.

"Fine, if you won't practice with me, I'll find someone else! Hee Saixue, Zhao Wushuang, they are all suitable candidates…" Wang Xiaoqiang said disdainfully.

"You, you dare!" Ye Qingcheng glared fiercely, "If you dare find another woman, I, I will kill you!"

"Oh, quite the bold statement, do you have the ability to do so?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.

"You... I… If you dare to seek other people, I, I will commit suicide for you to see…" Ye Qingcheng's pretty face turned fiery red, her chest heaving with emotion.

"Ha, Qingcheng, I was just joking. Don't be angry, I won't practice the dual cultivation manual then…" Wang Xiaoqiang placated an upset Ye Qingcheng.

"Hmph, that's more like it," Ye Qingcheng said, snuggling into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, her voice soft, "But Little Qiang, I've changed my mind, I agree to practice with you…"

"Ha, Qingcheng, you're really sweet." Wang Xiaoqiang stroked Ye Qingcheng's hair. "Actually, dual cultivation offers mutual benefits for us. Not only will it deepen our affection, but it will also enhance our cultivation base. Why not practice it, right..."

Ye Great Lady of Beauty blushed deeply. Though she verbally disagreed, her heart had already consented. Still, she managed to shyly divert the topic... "Little Qiang, we've come all this way. Let's just enjoy the scenery of the Heavenly Pool…"

"Hmph,"

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang agree, Ye Qingcheng nodded gently and leaned against him. Together, they then admired the beautiful scenery of the Heavenly Pool.

Suddenly.

"Roar~"

A monstrous roar sounded. The two startlingly looked around but found neither wild beast nor monster. Just as they were bewildered, they saw the calm water of the Heavenly Pool begin to ripple and churn.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The ripples on the Heavenly Pool's surface grew larger and larger, rolling from the center outward, turning the mirror-like calm water into bubbling, boiling water.

Wang Xiaoqiang, gathering the two hundred Spirit Springs inside his body to form a flying boat, then took Ye Qingcheng's waist and stepped onto the flying boat to hover over the pool.

At that moment, from the center of the turbulent waters, a massive water column, three meters in diameter, shot up. Inside the water column emerged an enormous beast shaped like a bull.
