Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 670: Food supplements start today

"Why?" Yan Yu pondered for a moment, "Because it will produce Yin scum?"

"That's absolutely right," Jian Yi said calmly. "Practicing cultivation requires not only accumulating mana, but also refining the Yin residue within the Yuan Shen. Why do orthodox Xuanmen cultivators often practice for two or three decades before forming a pill, and only attempt to transcend the tribulation when their lifespan is almost over? It's to eliminate as much Yin residue as possible and make their Purple Mansion Dao foundation purer."

"You borrowed someone else's vital yin to break through your bottleneck. The resulting golden elixir contains a bit of their Qi, which you can never get rid of. When Qi is connected, hidden dangers arise. For example, if she is abducted by a demon in the future, they can use this Qi to remotely control your mind and spirit, even causing you to fall into the devil's way."

"Even if everything goes smoothly on your path, and when it's time to ascend to immortality, your cultivation is complete, but hers isn't, what will you do? You won't be able to ascend. Your soul will ascend to heaven, while her energy on the ground will connect with yours, like a hook pulling you down from below. Therefore, you both must ascend together. It's easy to save yourself, but it's hard to save others!"

"I see." Yan Yu nodded.

For those Xuanmen monks who are wholeheartedly seeking the truth and only want to ascend to heaven, although this shortcut can be taken, after careful consideration, there will be endless troubles. The harm will become greater as time goes by, and it is extremely unprofitable overall.

However, Yan Yu himself didn't prioritize cultivation. His primary focus, from the beginning to the end, was simply to protect his country and ensure that the people lived an undisturbed, peaceful life. Therefore, whether or not he could ascend to heaven wasn't important at all. Instead, the immediate benefits of advancing to the Golden Core rank were more appealing to him.

"I have another question." Yan Yu said, "If the other party's Yuan Yin is still there, my Yuan Yang has been broken..."

"Then the effectiveness of this method will be compromised." Zhenmei Sword Intention said, "Without Yin, there will be no life; without Yang, there will be no growth. The impact force will not be enough."

"But what if I had already achieved Golden Elixir by then?" Yan Yu continued, "I wouldn't need to borrow any strength from her. I could give it all to her, which would be like her taking away my inner energy."

"She is your godmother?" Zhenmei Jianyi asked in surprise.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Yan Yu immediately became anxious, "I'm putting others before myself!"

"You've given up too much, then. What do you want?" Zhenmei Sword Intention asked, puzzled. "Look, you gave a part of yourself... even if it was a fragment of your Yuan Yang, it was still a sacrifice, right? And then you connected with her Qi, which added another burden on your path of cultivation, right? In the future, you might not be able to ascend because of her. As a result, her Jindan grade increased, and what did you gain? After thinking it over, I can only think of one possibility: she is her godmother and you are a filial son, so you gave freely and asked for nothing in return."

"Why don't you ask for anything in return?" Yan Yu said righteously, "Cultivating more top-notch Jindan Zhenren for Lu Country is the greatest reward for me!"

Taiyang Zhenmei Jianyi fell silent, as if he was stunned by the man's selflessness and righteousness.

"Just tell me if it's feasible." Yan Yu said impatiently.

"Wait a minute." Zhenmei Jianyi suddenly said, "I kind of understand...Okay, you're trying to gain merit!"

"……what?"

"Although the Yellow Emperor ultimately triumphed in the Yanhuang War, the human race suffered heavy casualties and was nearly wiped out," said the Sun's True Despair Sword Intent, analyzing, "In order to continue the human race's bloodline and expand its branches, the Yellow Emperor personally took part in the battle, consorting with three thousand women to produce offspring. This act of grace was a rebirth for the human race, and as a result, his merits were so great that he ascended to heaven on the spot!"

"……Well."

"You're quite calculating, boy!" Zhenmei Sword Intent suddenly realized something and continued, "Lu Country is now vast and surrounded by powerful enemies. We're plagued by internal and external troubles. A single misstep could lead to devastation. You've invested yourself in this project, creating a group of top-notch female Jindan Zhenren. They're like heroes who will save countless lives in the future. This immense amount of merit... because they're connected to your Qi, a share will be shared with you!"

Seeing Yan Yu speechless with astonishment, Zhenmei Jianyi sneered again:
"I knew it! With your shameless personality, how could you do something that harms yourself and benefits others? So you did it to gain merit? Then everything makes sense!"

"A prosperous age has its own rules, and a troubled age has its own expedients. Cultivation is easy to acquire, but merit is hard to find. Just go for it! Even if you die of exhaustion, at worst you can reincarnate. With merit protecting your body and the Three Flowers gathering at the top of your head, it will be easy to re-enter the path of Taoism!"

"Stop!" Yan Yu said, "First of all, I'm not doing this for beauty or merit. I'm just thinking about the Lu Kingdom and the overall situation. Don't describe me as a calculating and despicable person."

"Okay, okay, you're doing this for the country and the people, okay?" Jian Yi said impatiently. "You're selfless, you love your country and your people, you're the lone hero, okay? Wow, you're the lone hero, we're saved!"

"Where did you get these awful jokes..." Yan Yu was also a little speechless. He guessed that this sword intent must have emerged in his sea of consciousness when he was playing with his phone. "Secondly, I'm still hesitating whether to take this path."

"Why aren't you leaving?" Jian Yi asked, puzzled. "You've painstakingly tried to get to know them, to win over... I mean, to cultivate relationships with them, isn't that all for the sake of getting to this point? The fat is already cooked, and now you're telling me you're a vegetarian? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Bullshit, how did I deceive their feelings?" Yan Yu rolled his eyes. "My friendship with them is that of comrades who have shared life and death together! I knew that you, a heartless swordsman, couldn't understand what comradeship is."

"Nonsense! How could I not understand the bond between comrades?" Jian Yi immediately retorted. "Look, Chen Yanwei has left Emei Sword Sect, abandoning the righteous cause of defending humanity. I've continued to serve him for sixty years. Isn't it just out of the bond we once shared? And let me be honest. Although I've served countless Sun Sword Masters, I've always kept my public and private lives separate. Unlike someone who, while discussing comradeship, ends up talking about sex."

"I won't talk to you about this." Yan Yu interrupted her rudely, "So your answer to me is that this path is feasible."

"As long as the Jindan True Immortals who enter your harem become heroes who defend their country and save the people in the future, you will definitely not be at a disadvantage." Jian Yi spoke quickly, "But remember not to let them do evil. Because good and evil cannot offset each other, if they become possessed by demons in the future and destroy countless lives, you will be held jointly responsible by the Heavenly Dao."

"Let me correct you on one point," Yan Yu said. "Dual cultivation doesn't mean entering a harem. Our society is very advanced and open now, and the social rule that says someone is responsible for sleeping with someone else has long since disappeared."

"That's nonsense! Do you think I'm oblivious to what's happening outside my window since arriving on Earth?" Taiyang Zhenmei Jianyi sneered. "When they meet someone handsome, rich, and whom they like, they'll be incredibly chaste and force them to take responsibility. But if they become ugly, broke, or no longer interested, they'll immediately switch sides and pursue physical liberation and sexual freedom. Having no social rules means you're the one making all the decisions. Judging by the possessiveness they display towards you, they'll definitely hold you accountable afterwards. Then you'll be crying out in pain!"

"Why is it quacking?" Yan Yu asked with a frown.
"Because you are like a duck being fought over by a group of vicious dogs. You can't fight them, and you can't run away. You can only quack miserably." Jian Yi laughed at him.

Yan Yu suddenly became suspicious, and his eyes swept across the girls in the living room. They all seemed to have bad intentions and were ready to stab him in the back at any time.

But... humph, I scare myself~
You have flexible moral standards, but I have powerful, absolute force! Rules and definitions are all used to bully honest men. A great hero like me, even if I'm condemned by thousands of people and cursed by the internet, if I even frown, I lose!

Thinking of this, Yan Yu was no longer worried.

Not only am I going to sleep with you, but before I do, I'm going to make it clear to you that I'm helping you cultivate! I don't owe you anything. Instead, you owe me a favor that I'll never be able to repay in my lifetime!
It's you who should be criticized!
"Go." Yan Yu turned to Zhao Yuanzhen and instructed, "Heat a cup of milk for me, 300 ml, and put it in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds, no more, no less." In order to strengthen your body in the future, add some protein first!

Zhao Yuanzhen had just eaten too much dinner and hadn't digested it yet. Upon hearing this, he immediately said in a bad mood:

"You go alone. I won't go."

"You're quite bold." Yan Yu sneered and sent her a voice message, "You better think carefully. This room is full of young girls who want to practice dual cultivation with me. If you don't serve me well now, who will inherit my Yuan Yang in the future?"

"How dare you!" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately became anxious, "I am your Taoist partner!"

"A Taoist companion who doesn't serve me is not my Taoist companion!" Yan Yu said firmly.

Zhao Yuanzhen was furious and wanted to slap Yan Yu, but he was afraid that if he angered him, he would give Yuan Yang to any woman around him. Even if he killed him, it would be useless to make amends... Therefore, he could only swallow his anger, compromise, and be humble. Holding his bulging belly, he struggled to get off the sofa and went to the kitchen to say to Lin Ning:

"Ningning, heat up a cup of milk for me. Yanyu wants to drink it."

"Okay." Lin Ning asked to confirm, "300ml microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Yuanzhen was shocked.

Ningning actually knows Yanyu's preferences better than I do? But, but I am Yanyu's real partner! You are not allowed to know, Ningning! You are not allowed to know him so well!

"I just heard it." Lin Ning said.

"Oh, that's okay." Zhao Yuanzhen leaned against the kitchen door, closed his eyes to promote digestion, and began to fantasize in his mind.

The little thief threatened Yuanyang today and forced me to pour milk for him. I will remember this grudge!

The picture immediately appeared in my mind:
Yan Yu was seen with a listless face, holding his waist, kneeling on the bed and begging for mercy, saying: "My wife, I really can't do it anymore. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

I slapped him in the face and said proudly, "When you asked me to heat milk for you, you were so impressive and powerful, weren't you? How come you've suddenly become a coward? I'm telling you, you asked me to heat a cup of milk, 300 ml. I remember it clearly!"

Yan Yu immediately jumped out of bed and ran away. With a snap of his fingers, four beauties rushed into the bedroom, blocking the thief's only escape route. They were the flexible and agile Lin Xiaoning, the incredibly patient Xie Xiaoxi, the gentle and affectionate Su Xiaojin, and the versatile Chen Xiaoyun. All four beauties wore charming smiles that looked as if they were ready to devour the thief alive, nearly frightening him to the point of collapsing on the ground.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Lin Ning heated up the milk and brought it to Zhao Yuanzhen. Zhao Yuanzhen took it, feeling it was still warm, and subconsciously brought it to his lips and took a sip.

Very palatable.

"Here, take it." She returned to the living room and placed it on the coffee table in front of Yan Yu in a bad mood.

Yan Yu picked up the milk and suddenly asked suspiciously:
"Why is there a lipstick mark on the rim of this cup?"

"I tasted it for you." Zhao Yuanzhen said without hesitation, "I'm afraid it's too hot."

"You're quite thoughtful." Yan Yu said calmly, "Next time, don't taste it directly. Use your nose to feel the heat on the surface of the liquid, and you can roughly judge the temperature."

I'll spit in it next time. Zhao Yuanzhen thought to himself, but said:
"I know, I know. Drink it quickly."

"Why are you rushing me?" Yan Yu suddenly became suspicious. "You're not going to spit in there, are you?"

"Oh, so annoying!" Zhao Yuanzhen went to grab the cup, "What nonsense! If you don't drink, then I will!"

"Don't even think about it!" Yan Yu finally got rid of all his doubts and drank the milk in the cup.

To help so many people reach the Golden Core stage, even a cultivator's marrow cleansing body may not remain unscathed. Therefore, Yan Yu has made up his mind that he will eat more foods that nourish yin and yang, and keep up with the daily intake of vitamin E.

"Ningning." He sent a voice message to Lin Ning who came out of the kitchen, "Tomorrow I want to have scrambled eggs with leeks and grilled oysters."

"What's up?" Lin Ning frowned and said, "These two dishes are very nutritious. Be careful not to get too irritated and get a nosebleed."

"I am a cultivator, I won't get angry." Yan Yu said.

"Then there's no need for you to take any supplements." Lin Ning sighed and said, "I've already prepared the ingredients for tomorrow. You're making it very difficult for me. I'll have to go grocery shopping again tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ningning." Yan Yu decided to stroke her fur a few times. "I know this is a very last-minute request, but only you can do it."

"Of course!" Lin Ning immediately beamed. "Scrambled eggs with leeks is easy, but grilled oysters require careful control of the heat. If you're not careful, they'll shrink and become overcooked. I'm probably the only one in the house who can satisfy your request!"

Yan Yu flattered Lin Ning again without asking for any money, which made Lin Ning unable to help but hum.
