Chapter 0875 Immortal Wasteland Brand

Chapter 0875 Immortal Wasteland's Mark

Xian Rujing had long heard of the wonders of the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra in the Immortal Wasteland, but her knowledge of it was incomplete.

Now, hearing Qin Yun mention it, she grew curious.

"Can you really cultivate the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra together with your wife?" Xian Rujing said skeptically. "How'd you earn her trust like that?"

"Of course it's true! Actually, this trust thing is complicated. I just have a feeling that you and I can trust each other—it’ll definitely work!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Why do you think I trust you?" Xian Rujing said irritably. "A guy like you? No way I'd trust you!"

Qin Yun chuckled. "Even after you welched on our bet, I still trust you! Just now, you said if you lost, you’d give me a kiss. Even though you went back on your word, I didn’t lose trust in you because of it!"

Xian Rujing snorted. "Don’t expect me to kiss you—in your dreams!"

When it came to such intimate gestures, Xian Rujing was extremely cautious.

Qin Yun grinned. "Weren’t you so calm when you went wild killing people earlier because you trusted me to get you out safely? That’s psychological trust! When it really counted, don’t you trust me quite a bit?"

"If you thought I was unreliable, would you have dared to act so recklessly in the Imperial Dragon Academy?"

Xian Rujing fell silent because that had indeed been the case.

At that time, she had truly entrusted her safety to Qin Yun—partly because she knew he was capable, but also because, deep down, she inexplicably felt at ease with him.

"How many people can cultivate together at once?" Xian Rujing asked. "Will the effects be better?"

"To be honest, at most, I’ve had up to several women cultivating with me simultaneously. The results? *chef's kiss* Perfect! Especially when our cultivation levels were similar—everyone benefited!" Qin Yun said with a laugh.

"You total player!" Xian Rujing muttered under her breath.

"Hey, hey, don't go badmouthing me! Your precious Chuanwu has hit up every brothel in Dragon King City. Compared to him, I’m countless times cleaner!" Qin Yun retorted.

"If you dare mention that bastard again, I swear I’ll take a bite out of you!" Xian Rujing said coldly.

"Fine, I won’t say it!" Qin Yun pouted.

"Get your wife out here and have her teach me the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra!" Xian Rujing finally caved and agreed to try.

After all, she also wanted to improve her cultivation quickly.

Xiao Yuemei also agreed to teach Xian Rujing the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra, so as soon as she appeared, she got right down to teaching Rujing the sutra.

Xian Rujing was a quick study, and she quickly grasped the essentials.

Xiao Yuemei, too, had an exceptionally deep understanding of the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra and was able to guide Xian Rujing effortlessly.

"Little sister, are you really that scoundrel’s wife? Someone like him shouldn’t have a wife!" Xian Rujing threw Qin Yun a dirty look.

"Rujing, I’m not his wife!" Xiao Yuemei smiled.

"I knew it! Did that guy use some method to enslave you? Has he bullied you? I’ll teach him a lesson for you!" Xian Rujing barraged her with questions, her anger rising at the thought of sweet little Yuemei being enslaved.

Xiao Yuemei quickly clarified, "Rujing, I’m his sister-in-law! He's good to me!"

"What? His wife’s younger sister…" Xian Rujing found this even harder to accept, her mind jumping to sisterly... complications.

Qin Yun pouted. "Rujing, don’t overthink it! So are we doing this or what? Yuemei, are you joining?"

"I'll pass, I have other things to attend to!" Xiao Yuemei giggled. "Sister Rujing, during your Joint Cultivation, you'll take the lead. Get comfortable with it first!"

"Got it," Qin Yun said.

Xian Rujing also felt she had learned enough and said to Qin Yun, "I still don't know who you really are or what you look like. Without knowing that, it’s hard for me to trust you!"

Qin Yun thought for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Yuemei.

Xiao Yuemei waved her hand at Qin Yun, and his figure began to change. The once short, bald man gradually grew taller and more muscular, his hair growing back as well.

Soon, a tall and handsome man with a charming grin stood before Xian Rujing.

Qin Yun had revealed his true appearance!

"You... I think I’ve seen you before!" Xian Rujing suddenly remembered something and took out a portrait.

It was a portrait of Qin Yun!

After carefully comparing it, she exclaimed, "You’re Qin Yun?"

Qin Yun grinned and nodded. "That’s me! Am I not handsome?"

Xian Rujing snorted. "You're impossible!"

She had only heard bits and pieces about Qin Yun and didn’t know the full details, but she knew he was a formidable figure.

The very Qin Yun whom the elders of Dragon King Manor hated with a passion was actually inside the manor, causing trouble right under their noses!

Moreover, Qin Yun was the target of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, yet the sect had been played for fools.

And that Long Chuanwu had even been killed!

Xiao Yuemei returned to the first pearl of the Nine Sun Divine Soul, while Qin Yun and Xian Rujing prepared to begin their Joint Cultivation.

Qin Yun chuckled. "Sister Rujing, now that you know who I am, you can relax now, right?"

Xian Rujing tucked away the portrait and said coldly, "You’re too cunning!"

She then scooted over, allowing Qin Yun to sit on her mat.

Once Qin Yun sat down, he reached out and took Xian Rujing’s wrist, while she did the same to his.

Their free hands rested on the Imperial Source Stone, absorbing its energy.

"Here we go!" Xian Rujing said. "If it doesn’t work, we’ll stop immediately to avoid injury!"

"Agreed," Qin Yun nodded, with some nervousness.

Xian Rujing took a deep breath and began circulating the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra.

Qin Yun began absorbing the energy from the Imperial Source Stone, funneling it into Xian Rujing’s body.

Soon, Xian Rujing easily absorbed the energy Qin Yun transmitted, merging it with the energy she had absorbed herself.

Then, she directed the merged energy to circulate within her body, tempering it through her powerful Immortal Body, strengthening it significantly before flowing it back into Qin Yun.

After absorbing the enhanced energy from Xian Rujing, Qin Yun was secretly amazed, having not expected such a massive increase.

"We succeeded!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Hmph!" Xian Rujing hadn't expected that she actually trusted Qin Yun in her heart.

Qin Yun refined the energy transmitted by Xian Rujing through his Immortal-Demon Saint Body while absorbing the energy from the Imperial Source Stone. He then circulated it throughout his body, allowing the Dark Sun to absorb a portion of it.

Afterward, he sent the remaining energy back into Xian Rujing’s body.

The energy cycled between the two of them. Originally just a single portion, after repeated enhancements through the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra, it doubled in quantity and grew stronger—this was the miraculous effect of the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra.

Xian Rujing sensed the immense energy Qin Yun transmitted and found it unbelievable, silently marveling at the profundity of the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra.

"Sister Rujing, how do you plan to return to the Immortal Realm in the future?" Qin Yun asked, having always been curious about this.

"In the Supreme Mystic Sea, there’s a hidden passage leading to the Immortal Realm!" Xian Rujing said. "Of course, getting through isn’t easy!"

"I heard there’s an Immortal Gate in the Supreme Mystic Sea that leads to the Immortal Realm—I didn’t expect it to be true!" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"That Immortal Gate has always existed! But passing through it is difficult for you, while I have no issues!" Xian Rujing said.

"Why?" Qin Yun asked.

"Because I was born in the Immortal Realm! I bear its mark! Those not born there can hardly traverse that passage!" Xian Rujing said. "You’d better focus on surviving your Half-Immortal Ascension honestly! When you reach the Immortal Realm in the future, I’ll have your back!"

Qin Yun didn’t need Xian Rujing’s protection—he already had plenty of connections in the Immortal Realm, such as Yue You, a Celestial King.

He suddenly thought his Heavenly Beast King brother might have also gone to the Supreme Mystic Sea and perhaps even returned to the Immortal Realm.

Xian Rujing was desperate to advance in her cultivation. After cultivating together with Qin Yun, she felt genuinely pleased, as it would help her advance faster.

"At this rate, roughly how long until you break through?" Qin Yun asked.

"About three months!" Xian Rujing thought for a moment before answering.

Qin Yun had only just entered the Midstage Martial King Realm, so he wasn't close to breaking through in the short term and thus had no immediate plans to push his cultivation further.

"Yuemei, shouldn't you be cultivating?" Qin Yun asked Xiao Yuemei inside the Nine Yang Soul Pearl.

"Brother, don’t worry! Were I not suppressing my soul, my cultivation would skyrocket! Not just me—sister, Sister Yang, Auntie, and Little Meilian, all of whom have past incarnation memories, can break through quickly! With their past-life cultivation experience, they could break through with ease when the time is right!" Xiao Yuemei laughed.

Hearing this, Qin Yun felt secretly envious.

After cultivating together with Xian Rujing for over ten days, Long Bei returned from the Eighth Layer.

Seeing Qin Yun and Xian Rujing together, Long Bei didn’t disturb them and went back to the Eighth Layer.

After cultivating for most of a month, Xian Rujing felt remarkable improvement.

Qin Yun smiled. "Sister Rujing, if you ever want to cultivate together again, I’ll be available whenever I can! Of course, I also hope you’ll find a good man to cultivate with in the future!"

Xian Rujing snorted. "I’ve already decided to remain single forever! Having you to cultivate together with is enough!"

"In that case, I feel like I’m getting the short end!" Qin Yun said.

"Getting the short end? You benefit just as much from cultivating together!" Xian Rujing shot him a glare. "What? Do you expect me to help you cultivate an Immortal Meridian?"

Qin Yun said, "I’d have to ask my wife first about that!"

Xian Rujing scoffed. "Keep dreaming! I’d never let anyone use my body to cultivate an Immortal Meridian!"

Qin Yun curled his lip. "I don’t care about your rotten body anyway!"

Xian Rujing sneered coldly. "That’s what you say now, but if I really offered, you’d sing a different tune in an instant!"
