Chapter 180: Chapter 0180: Junior Sister, Let’s Have a Hug_1
The night was tranquil, and the stars twinkled in the sky.
In her room, Tian Bingbing sat cross-legged on the bed, striving to Rush the Pulse.
Determination was written all over her face. Her heart was steady, as Zhang Bin was in the room acting as her protector, so she pressed on fearlessly.
Rushing the Pulse for the first time was very dangerous for a cultivator. One careless mistake could cause their True Qi to deviate, leading to what was known as demonic possession. In mild cases, one’s meridians would be destroyed; in severe cases, it would lead to death and the obliteration of one’s Dao.
Therefore, when a cultivator advanced from the Lianqi Realm to the Rushing Pulse Realm, they generally needed an experienced elder from their sect to act as a protector. If any problems arose, the elder could help resolve them and prevent demonic possession.
Tian Bingbing had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and could have attempted to Rush the Pulse long ago. However, without a protector, she hadn’t dared to try.
Now that she had joined the Taiqing Sect and become Zhang Bin’s junior sister and companion, Zhang Bin was naturally there to protect her. She could Rush the Pulse with peace of mind, free from any worries.
After all, Zhang Bin was not just a top expert who had reached the Qi Sea Realm, but also a rare Divine Doctor capable of reviving the dead. What was there to fear from demonic possession?
Zhang Bin sat on the small sofa in the room, gazing at the beauty on the bed with an infatuated look, his face filled with profound emotion and enjoyment.
Tian Bingbing wore a camisole dress, and as she sat cross-legged, a fair and delicate portion of her long legs was revealed, a vibrantly alluring sight. Her eyebrows were graceful—the most beautiful willow-leaf shape. She had a melon-seed-shaped face, small cherry-like lips, and a high, straight nose.
It was truly a picture of supreme beauty, a sight one could gaze upon endlessly.
Zhang Bin was very pleased, truly pleased. He suddenly discovered that Tian Bingbing’s talent was even better than he had estimated. Perhaps she could truly accompany him through the long, long years to come.
Having such a beautiful woman by his side on the path of cultivation was a very fortunate thing. Therefore, he felt he had to cherish and hold onto this enchanting junior sister.
He judged her talent to be great because he noticed that she didn’t even furrow her brow while Rushing the Pulse; her expression remained serene and resolute.
One must understand that Rushing the Pulse was not a pleasant process. It was like having a needle threading through one’s muscles, and the pain was an overwhelming tide that threatened to drown a person completely. Some cultivators simply couldn’t endure such pain. Even if they could, they might fail to control their True Qi, making it impossible to clear their meridians and forcing them to give up halfway. As a result, they could never reach the Rushing Pulse Realm.
Yet, Tian Bingbing could bear such pain with ease and could effortlessly control her True Qi to Rush the Pulse.
This was a sign of exceptional talent. With sufficient cultivation resources, she could become a great expert in the future.
After about an hour, Tian Bingbing finally broke through her first meridian. Her Dantian instantly doubled in size, and True Qi began to circulate endlessly between it and her new meridian.
"I did it! I’ve finally reached the Rushing Pulse Realm! The sect’s Cultivation Technique is truly miraculous."
A look of ecstasy appeared on Tian Bingbing’s face. She had known the Secret Technique for Rushing the Pulse before—one that Tian Guangjin had imparted to her—but that cultivation method was too difficult, and the restrictions were too numerous. That was why she had never dared to attempt it lightly. Compared to the Taiqing Sect’s technique, that one was utter trash.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister. Come, let’s have a celebratory hug," Zhang Bin said with a radiant smile, opening his arms.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Bingbing leaped from the bed and threw herself into Zhang Bin’s embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, her breath as fragrant as an orchid, "Senior Brother, is my aptitude good?"
"Very good." Zhang Bin savored holding her close, letting her faint fragrance envelop him as his breathing quickened slightly.
He had only been joking earlier and hadn’t expected her to be so obedient, throwing herself right into his arms.
"Thank you for being my protector, Senior Brother," Tian Bingbing said gratefully, then shyly slipped out of his embrace.
"Junior Sister, I’ll now teach you how to accumulate True Qi quickly."
Zhang Bin took a Gathering Qi Pill from his Space Ring—this one wasn’t mixed with flour. He had Tian Bingbing take the bottle of Spiritual Water he had given her earlier and instructed her to sit cross-legged on the bed. Then, he personally transmitted the Pure Heart Mystique to her, teaching her the method of consuming the Gathering Qi Pill and Spiritual Water while practicing the technique to rapidly accumulate True Qi.
Shocked and delighted, Tian Bingbing began to cultivate according to his instructions. Gradually, she entered a wondrous state of cultivation. She could feel her True Qi steadily increasing, her body slowly growing stronger, and even her spiritual power seemed to be on the rise. This sensation of growing stronger was wonderful and unprecedented.
After admiring the beautiful sight up close once more, Zhang Bin left the room. He went to the living room, drew back the curtains, opened the window, and lay down on the sofa. Gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the dazzling city lights and the vast lake outside, his face filled with contentment and enjoyment.
Eventually, he closed his eyes and began to study the extraterrestrial materials in his mind.
He needed to become stronger. He had to build the laboratory as soon as possible to analyze the pharmacology of countless plants on Earth and refine the Miraculous Elixirs of Xuanwu Star. Only then could he rapidly break through to the Liquid State, the Seed Condensing Realm, and even higher realms. In his quest for revenge, he had barely studied over the past two months. Now, he needed to make up for lost time.
Of course, he couldn’t neglect his cultivation. Before sleeping, he had to take a Gathering Qi Pill and Spiritual Water and cultivate with the Pure Heart Mystique for two hours. This would not only rapidly accumulate True Qi but also quickly enhance his Special Ability. If his Special Ability improved greatly, allowing him to release his Flying Sword twice in succession or more, he would become much stronger and more confident.
「Soon, two hours passed by.」
Tian Bingbing finished her cultivation, her face full of surprise. She realized her True Qi had increased significantly. If she continued to cultivate like this, she would be able to break through her second meridian in just three days.
Senior Brother is so good to me.
Filled with immense gratitude, Tian Bingbing gently opened the door and stepped out. She saw Zhang Bin lying on the sofa, seemingly asleep. She sat down beside him, gently lifted his head, and rested it on her lap.
"Senior Brother, my own abilities are limited, and there isn’t much I can do for you. But I can at least help you achieve half of your ideal," Tian Bingbing murmured, a faint blush coloring her pretty cheeks. Her hand gently combed through Zhang Bin’s black hair, her eyes brimming with tenderness.
Bingbing has fallen hopelessly in love with me. Sigh, no beauty can resist my charm.
Zhang Bin, of course, wasn’t asleep. He relished having his head pillowed endlessly on her lap, gloating to himself.
But just then, a call came through to his mind from Tutu, and his expression changed dramatically
