Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! In room seventeen of the Hehuan Gate, Yi Ranxiao sat cross-legged, like an old monk in deep meditation, his eyes closed and his ears deaf to all sounds, as if he had merged with nature. Around him sat eighteen girls with helpless expressions.

The eighteen beauties of Yanyun were all listless. Fifteen days had passed, and no matter how they tried to tempt Yi Ranxiao, he remained unmoved. This kid's willpower was terrifying! If they hadn't already stripped him naked, they would have really wondered if this guy was a woman.

He has all the 'things' a man should have, so he's still a man. But then, is he impotent? So yesterday, eighteen girls took turns trying, and he still had a reaction. The problem is, even in that state, Yi Ranxiao remained completely calm and unmoved. He even managed to suppress his physical reaction and return to normal through sheer willpower!

He is truly a divine being!

"Eldest sister, what should we do?" The Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun had long been sworn sisters, and they all addressed each other by their birth order. "This kid is too tough to handle!"

The eldest sister rested her hand on her forehead, not answering her immediately, but looking thoughtful. Seeing that their eldest sister remained silent, the other women felt uneasy. Was this young man about to shatter the myth of the "invincible" Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun?

They were unwilling to accept it! They, the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun, had roamed the world, invincible and rarely matched, yet today they were to be defeated by an unknown nobody? They had thought that there might be someone in this world who could resist their temptations, but this imagined master was at least a great figure like Xiang Tiannan, the sect leader!

Even Xiang Tiannan, they were confident they could handle him! And the only important figures in the world that they felt they might not be able to handle were the abbot of the temple in the Great Song Dynasty and the head of the academy and library in the Tianyu Kingdom, a master of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In this Great Song Dynasty, the so-called temples and sects are simply called temples! This is because they are confident that no other temple in the world can surpass them, so they are simply called temples. It's not that they are arrogant; it's just that they are far too powerful! Powerful enough to stand on equal footing with sects.

Their "leader" is quite peculiar. If you come to his temple to spend money to burn incense and request a Buddha statue, then his title is Abbot, and his name is Fangzhang (方丈), and his title is Abbot-Abbot. If you want to discuss Buddhist scriptures and profound truths with him, then his title is Abbot, and his name is Zhufa (主幕), and his title is Zhufa Fangzhang (主幕丈). (Abbot and Zhufa are not the same concept or title.)

The academies in the Tianyu Kingdom are simply called academies! They, along with temples and sects, form a tripartite balance, being the three major cultivation sects of the Eastern Land! They are located within the three major empires and each leads the cultivation world of its respective empire!

Of the three sect leaders, Xiang Tiannan is slightly younger and, in his nature, more like an ordinary man. The abbot of the temple and the dean of the academy, on the other hand, are a highly virtuous monk and a learned gentleman, truly benevolent individuals! In the eyes of the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun, they are the two most difficult men to deal with!

It's quite amusing, really. When cultivators mention these three powerful figures, they are all filled with reverence, or rather, a desire to surpass them. But these Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun think in that direction—it's truly laughable!

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun had been developing a formation for a long time—a formation that could drastically increase a cultivator's desire. This formation was originally intended to counter the various schools of thought and the abbot, but today, the leader of the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun encountered Yiran Xiao, a man of extraordinary willpower. Therefore, she had no choice but to teach the formation to her sisters ahead of time, and then they would all activate it together to "attack" Yiran Xiao!

Looking at the other seventeen dejected sisters, the eldest sister suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I've been researching a formation for a long time. I was researching this formation to deal with the two guys, the Hundred Schools of Thought and Abbot Fang. But today I've run into Yi Ranxiao, a tough nut to crack, so I have no choice but to make a fool of myself in advance!"

Instantly, the seventeen girls' eyes lit up as they looked at their eldest sister, thinking that the formation used to deal with the abbot of the Hundred Schools of Thought must be very powerful! Once it was used, could Yi Ranxiao still withstand it? They were overjoyed.

"I will pass on this formation to you. You must study it carefully and try to learn it in a short time. Then, we can..." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with a lewd light as he stared at Yi Ranxiao, who was sitting cross-legged.

……

……

When the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun had previously entangled themselves around Yiran Xiao, he immediately tried to do the same, releasing his Yuan energy fluctuations. However, this time the Eighteen Beauties were prepared and clung tightly to his body. How could he be blown away? Instead, they entangled him even more tightly! Yiran Xiao's physiological reaction became more and more intense, and at that moment, the group of crazy women began to rub against that place again.

Yi Ranxiao could feel that he was about to collapse! Just then, he mobilized the Yuan energy within his body, forcefully suppressing the physiological reaction and restoring the area to its usual calm! Cultivators are cultivators after all; they can always do things that mortals cannot!

The problem was that the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun were constantly teasing and caressing his body. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he couldn't completely suppress his physical desires; he could only restrain himself! So Yiran Xiao restrained himself again and again, controlling his desires and the increasingly intense masculine energy within him.

The man represents masculinity, and the woman symbolizes femininity. In the act of lovemaking, one represents yang and the other yin, one strong and the other gentle. The man expends his yang energy to merge with the woman's feminine energy. Therefore, in that situation, the man's yang energy is far more abundant than usual!

Yi Ranxiao's Earth God Fist is a fist technique that requires a great deal of yang energy! When Yi Ranxiao controls the yang energy within his body, keeping it inside instead of expelling it, the Earth God Fist can transform that yang energy into his own! Gradually, the level of his Earth God Fist begins to improve!

Although Yiran Xiao was unable to test the Earth God Fist on the spot, he could sense that the fist energy he was unleashing now was definitely golden!

This could be considered a blessing in disguise! So, every day, Yiran Xiao longed for the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun to seduce him through various means, and then he would rely on self-control to transform the surging masculine energy within him into the power of the Earth God Fist!

The Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun did not disappoint him, teasing Yiran Xiao in different ways every day. And Yiran Xiao was able to resist each time. After many times, not only could his fist energy turn golden, but he seemed to have even grasped the secret of unleashing multiple fist energies with a single punch!

Yi Ranxiao was overjoyed! The Earth God Fist was a superb technique. If one could unleash a punch that simultaneously produced multiple golden fist beams, it meant that one had mastered this fist technique to the highest level! With the Earth God Fist at the highest level, Yi Ranxiao had even more confidence in defeating Xue Qinghua!

Besides the Earth God Fist, what surprised Yi Ranxiao even more was that, through these journeys of resisting temptations, the Yuan Power within his body was also increasing! His Yuan Power level at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm was also constantly advancing!

Each time one restrains their desires, it greatly improves their character! The benefits to cultivators are obvious! For Yi Ranxiao, it meant subtly and unconsciously refining more of Bo Batian's Yuan Power!

He could now sense that his Yuan Power level had reached the mid-stage of the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm! He shouldn't be far from entering the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm!

At that time, Yi Ranxiao will be a cultivator who has mastered the Great Perfection of Earth Divine Fist, Returning Style Sword Technique, and Mysterious Shadow Steps. Why would he be afraid of Xue Qinghua? Would he be unable to rescue Gui Buzhong and Xiao Fan? Even if the Hehuan Sect has many people and advantages, Yi Ranxiao can rely on these powerful techniques to catch them off guard and should be able to rescue the two of them!

As Yiran Xiao was pondering her next move, the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun suddenly stopped. She heard one of them say something about some kind of formation. Yiran Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that these guys were preparing to use an even more powerful seduction technique. She had to hold back!

However, the Eighteen Beauties of Yanyun left the room and went out. Yi Ranxiao assumed they were going to prepare for activating the formation. In reality, the eldest of the eighteen beauties had gone back to teach her sisters how to use the formation. Yi Ranxiao then put on his trousers, leaving his upper body bare, because he was filled with a large amount of yang energy, making him extremely hot.

After a while, the door was pushed open again. Judging from the footsteps, there was only one person. Yi Ranxiao opened her eyes and saw that the person who came was actually Cui'er.

Cui'er looked at the red marks all over Yi Ranxiao's body—marks left by the eighteen beauties of Yan Yun—and her eyes welled up with tears. She said with concern, "Young Master Yi, you've suffered." Yi Ranxiao was taken aback. What was this guy up to? Concerned about me? Hmph, he probably had ulterior motives!

Cui'er walked over to Yi Ranxiao and sat down next to him. Yi Ranxiao immediately moved aside, keeping a certain distance from her. Cui'er looked at him and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Oh, Young Master Yi, you must think Cui'er is a very dirty woman, right?"

Tears welled up in her eyes again. "Actually, Cui'er is a child with a tragic fate. She lost her father and mother at a young age, and by chance, she was brought back to the Hehuan Sect by Sect Leader Xue."

Seeing how pitiful she sounded, and hearing the words "no father or mother," Yi Ranxiao's heart softened, and she suddenly stopped disliking her as much as before. It seemed that she also had her reasons!

Cui'er continued, "Once you enter the Hehuan Sect, only those with great willpower, like you, Young Master Yi, can maintain their purity. But I was still young then, how could I have that kind of willpower? I was corrupted by what I saw and heard! Alas..."

As they talked, the distance between Cui'er and Yi Ranxiao gradually shortened. Looking at Cui'er's pitiful appearance, Yi Ranxiao felt even more sorry for her and no longer rejected her, letting her come closer.
