**Chapter 0630: Nether Sun Alchemy**

The person Qin Yun feared most was none other than Bingxing standing before him.

Based on his suspicions, in a past life he had been a Celestial King who had once angered Bingxing—earning her deep hatred.

He could also sense that Bingxing harbored deeply conflicted emotions toward him.

"It's actually her!" Ling Yuner was equally astonished. "Xiao Yun, forget about your past life—keep flirting with her!"

*Don’t make me dig my own grave!* Qin Yun inwardly cursed.

Bingxing wasn't surprised by Qin Yun’s shock. “I truly didn’t expect you to arrive in the Spirit Barrens so quickly,” she said.

“Sister Bingxing, I never imagined you’d be here in the Spirit Barrens, let alone hold such a high position within the Celestial Armament Palace!”

“I am the Supreme Elder of the Celestial Armament City,” Bingxing stated. “After being sealed inside the immortal tomb for years, my strength hasn’t fully recovered yet. For now, I have no intention of returning to the Immortal Wasteland—it’s far too dangerous.”

“Then… how did you become Supreme Elder?” Qin Yun asked curiously.

“In the past, I had certain ties to the Celestial Armament City. When I returned and displayed my strength, the elders acknowledged me,” Bingxing replied coldly. She placed her hand on Qin Yun’s shoulder, gripping it slightly as she added chillingly, “Time to make good on your promise.”

Qin Yun coughed dryly. “Sister Bingxing, given your extensive knowledge, surely you’ve heard of the Sun-Moon Heart Sutra? It allows cultivation through intimacy between a man and woman…”

“I know of it!” Bingxing suddenly recalled.

“My wife, Xiao Yuelan, has mastered this technique. She’s currently at Demonmoon Island—I can arrange for her to teach you,” Qin Yun said. “As for whether you can practice dual cultivation with me… that’s entirely up to you.”

“I already know the Sun-Moon Heart Sutra,” Bingxing said, her eyes flashing something unreadable.

“Then… should we give it a try?” Qin Yun suddenly felt overwhelming pressure for some reason.

Bingxing shook her head slightly. “No. I refuse to practice dual cultivation with you—I don’t trust you enough.”

Qin Yun thought for a moment before continuing, “Sister Bingxing, the Nine Cycles Celestial Power must be important to you, right? It would allow you to rapidly recover your full power and return to the Immortal Wasteland.”

“Yes,” Bingxing admitted coldly, “but I won’t practice the Sun-Moon Heart Sutra with you.”

Qin Yun let out a long sigh. “Fine, let’s be blunt then. Sister Bingxing, I know I was reincarnated from someone in the past—a Celestial King—and that I wronged you, didn’t I?”

“You know? Are you really him?” Bingxing’s expression darkened abruptly, a flash of killing intent flickering across her face before she quickly calmed herself.

“I’m pretty sure my past self was that person… but that was my previous incarnation. It has nothing to do with who I am now.”

“You seem just like him,” Bingxing sneered.

“Can you tell me exactly what he did to you?” Qin Yun asked quietly.

“He played with my heart and got me sealed away,” Bingxing said. “If you ever awaken those memories, then you are him—and I will kill you.”

“Was there… anything else he did?” Qin Yun wanted to hear more.

“He was a master con artist,” Bingxing spat. “He manipulated my emotions, tricked me into causing trouble that led to my sealing, and stole valuable artifacts from me!” She finished with a barrage of curses directed at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun rubbed his face, convinced his good looks were the root of the problem.

“So… he didn’t sexually deceive you, did he?” he asked cautiously.

“If your past self had violated me like that,” Bingxing snapped, “I would’ve killed you on the spot the moment I woke up in that immortal tomb.”

Bingxing's voice was icy. Though she knew the Qin Yun before her wasn't the same scoundrel, her eyes were still filled with hatred.

Ling Yuner giggled in Qin Yun's mind, "Xiao Yun, this Bingxing used to be a naive girl. In your past life, you exploited her naivety to manipulate her, and when she found out later, of course she was furious."

Bingxing glared at Qin Yun, her voice laced with faint killing intent. "Qin Yun, you'd better not get any ideas about me! Let what happened in the past life stay in the past. If you dare deceive me again in this life, you're dead!"

"Sister Bingxing," Qin Yun asked worriedly, "if I... awaken the memories of my past life, are you really going to kill me?"

"Exactly. If you awaken those memories, you are that bastard, and I will eliminate you!" Bingxing's beautiful eyes flickered with intense murderous intent.

"Alright, I'll do everything to keep those memories buried!"

Qin Yun couldn't help feeling regret about his past life's memories.

After all, his former self had been a powerful Celestial King, surely possessing many formidable techniques.

Bingxing said, "If you awaken those memories, you won’t be able to hide it from me. And don’t even think about deceiving me again!"

"Sister Bingxing," Qin Yun quickly continued, "now that we've laid everything out, can we begin partnered cultivation? After we cultivate together, it’ll greatly benefit both of us."

Bingxing's tone softened slightly. "I'd like to cultivate with you too, but I can't! Using the Sun Moon Heart Sutra for partnered cultivation requires mutual trust as its foundation! And I don’t trust you at all!"

"We won't know unless we try," Qin Yun scoffed.

"If something goes wrong during cultivation with the Sun Moon Heart Sutra, the consequences will be severe. Especially given the vast difference in our cultivation levels—if backlash occurs, you’ll die horribly. I'd only walk away with minor injuries at worst."

Bingxing's calm words made Qin Yun's blood run cold.

"I'd promised you before that I'd let you absorb the Nine Cycles Celestial Power..." Qin Yun sighed softly. "I went back on my word."

"Your method theoretically works, but something went wrong in practice, so let's just drop it this time!" Bingxing glanced at him. "Just focus on your own cultivation."

Qin Yun realized this madwoman could be quite reasonable at times.

"I'm entering the Celestial Armament Illusionary Realm. You coming?" Bingxing said.

"I'll go in a few days. I wanna get familiar with this place first!" Qin Yun sat cross-legged by the celestial pool.

As Bingxing approached the pool and was about to jump in, Qin Yun quickly called out, "Sister Bingxing, wait!"

"What is it?" Bingxing asked.

Qin Yun took out the Sun Moon Divine Bowl and a jade box, saying, "Sister Bingxing, could you set this bowl on the Sun Moon Celestial Bed for me? You wake up once daily, right?"

"When the bowl fills with condensed liquid, it will automatically flow into the jade box."

The box was specially crafted by Qin Yun, containing a storage space designed specifically for holding special liquids like Sun Moon Essence.

Bingxing snorted, took the two items, and dove into the celestial pool.

She had a water-repelling treasure that kept her dry.

Ling Yuner remarked, "The Sun Moon Celestial Bed should accelerate the Sun Moon Divine Bowl's condensation of Sun Moon Essence. The more essence we get, the better—it'll be useful for your future alchemy!"

"This Sister Bingxing seems quite decent to me, though she sometimes goes off on me!" Qin Yun chuckled. "Must be my devastating good looks!"

"Stop being narcissistic! She could crush you anytime. The only reason she hasn't is because she's got a good heart deep down. Otherwise, you'd have died countless times already!" Ling Yuner giggled. "All those times she killed you in the Celestial Armament Illusionary Realm probably helped vent a lot of her anger!"

Qin Yun followed the meditation technique taught by Xie Qirou and, through the Nine Sun Spirit, was able to refine the Nine Cycles Celestial Power using the celestial energy released from the Immortal Essence.

"Yun'er, in my past life, I deceived Bingxing, making her hate me deeply," Qin Yun said. "Should I make amends to her? That way, you might feel more at ease too!"

"Releasing her from the immortal tomb is already compensation enough!" Ling Yuner chuckled softly. "You don’t need to blame yourself too much. Those were the deeds of your past life—you don’t have to bear the burden in this one!"

"But I still feel guilty!" Qin Yun sighed. "I genuinely want to make amends, but she’s a celestial being—she wants for nothing!"

"Xiao Yun, I think you might be able to extract the Nine Cycles Celestial Power and condense it into a pill!" Ling Yuner had a sudden inspiration, saying, "You could use the Mingyang Dao Core for this!"

"How?" Qin Yun lit up with excitement and asked.

"Doesn’t the Mingyang Dao Core absorb energy? Besides that, it can also utilize gravity’s power to compress energy within itself. The stronger the gravity, the more potent the crystal it can refine!" Ling Yuner explained. "In short, it’s a very complex process—most people couldn’t pull it off!"

"That’s why the Mingyang Dao Core spawned a Dao Spirit like me—to assist in controlling it!"

Ling Yuner, as a Dao Spirit, was an incredibly mystical existence, primarily tasked with helping Qin Yun control the Mingyang Dao Core.

"Alright, let’s try it now!" Qin Yun said.

Ling Yuner suggested, "It’s best to dive into the celestial pool—that’ll speed up the refining process. Plus, you can strengthen your body while condensing the pill!"

After some thought, Qin Yun stripped down to his shorts and dove into the celestial pool to soak.

"I’m going to start making the Mingyang Dao Core absorb celestial energy now, hehe!" Ling Yuner giggled.

Under her control, Qin Yun felt his Mingyang Dao Core beating faster. Vast amounts of celestial energy surged into his body through the Nine Sun Spirit, transforming into Nine Cycles Celestial Power.

Qin Yun only used the Nine Cycles Celestial Power to strengthen his body, not daring to push further for fear of mishaps.

Xie Qirou had sternly warned him against reckless cultivation—only body strengthening was allowed.

Now, Ling Yuner’s plan to condense a pill made Qin Yun somewhat uneasy.

In the blink of an eye, six days passed. Qin Yun felt the dark Mingyang Dao Core slowly squeezing out a pale golden pill.

"A total success!" Ling Yuner laughed triumphantly. "I can even help you refine pills now!"
