Joining the Sect, I Raised Geniuses Through Dual Cultivation - Chapter 10:

Chapter 10:

“Mmngh…”

In her sleep, Su Nianwan stirred at the sound of a voice and slowly woke up. 

Opening her drowsy eyes, she looked toward Ye Chen beside her and mumbled softly, “Senior Brother, who were you talking to just now? What spirit stones?”

There was no one else in the room besides her and Ye Chen, yet she vaguely heard him speaking. She couldn’t help but feel confused. Was Senior Brother talking to himself?

“No one. You must have heard wrong,” Ye Chen casually brushed it off. There was no way to explain this situation. He looked down and met Su Nianwan’s sweet and innocent face… and the spark that had just died down suddenly flared up again, ignited by gasoline and bursting into flames. His blood surged with heat.

“Senior Brother…” Su Nianwan’s cheeks flushed red all over.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained two years of cultivation reward!]

A cold system prompt echoed in his mind—further confirming Ye Chen’s theory. The higher the woman’s spiritual Root, the better the reward. 

When he had been with Lin Qingxue and Lu Mengyao, he had never received a two-year reward at once. Only with Su Nianwan had he gotten this much in one go.

“If I dual cultivate with a woman who has a Heaven-grade spiritual Root… or even Divine-grade… wouldn’t a single time be enough to break through an entire minor realm?”

This discovery made Ye Chen ecstatic. 

He had previously been worried that once his realm grew higher, the one-year rewards would feel too slow. But now it seemed, as long as the right partner was chosen for dual cultivation, the problem could easily be solved.

His thoughts unconsciously drifted to Sect Master Liu Ruyan…

What grade of spiritual Root did she have?

Several rounds passed through the night…

In the adjacent room, Lu Mengyao had completely given up on sleep. Even though a whole room separated them, she could hear everything clearly. The sounds echoing in her ears made it feel like they were right next to her—she almost felt like she was part of it.

How could she sleep in peace like this?

She had tried to meditate, but the heat throughout her body made her give up quickly. She feared she might fall into deviation from the agitation.

“Has Senior Brother gone mad?”

“Is he trying to kill himself?” Lu Mengyao was stunned.

This was even crazier than their session the previous night!

Ye Chen had barely rested since then. Could his body really take this?

She genuinely worried he might collapse from exhaustion.

It wasn’t until dawn that the courtyard finally quieted down. Only then did Lu Mengyao breathe a sigh of relief and fall into a deep sleep.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained two years of cultivation reward!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a bottle of Heavenly Origin Pill (enhances all cultivation below the Spirit Severing Realm)!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Endless Vitality Pill (restores the body to peak condition within three seconds)!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Clone Talisman (creates a duplicate of the host with half the host’s power, controllable via spiritual sense)!]

Ye Chen was completely spent.

Listening to the stream of reward prompts, he felt it had all been worth it. Exhaustion was a small price to pay if it meant growing stronger.

This time, he didn’t just get cultivation rewards—he also gained rare pills and powerful talismans that others would struggle to create even through hard cultivation.

But for Ye Chen, as long as he worked hard and “sowed the fields,” he could easily earn them.

From now on, whether it was pills, artifacts, or talismans—he just needed to find a female disciple to solve the problem.

With a joyful heart, Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes and drifted into sleep…

…

Inside an elegant and refined main hall…

Liu Ruyan, dressed in a flowing pink gown, paced back and forth with a trace of impatience on her face. She had been waiting since early morning for her trusted aide monitoring the secluded courtyard to bring her intel—but after so long, there was still no word.

This made her uneasy.

Why was the report delayed today?

Did something happen?

She was anxious to know the result of last night’s dual cultivation between Ye Chen and Su Nianwan.

She also wanted to confirm whether her guess was correct!

The Grand Elder was waiting for her report too.

This dual cultivation session affected not only her position as sect master, but the interests of the entire sect.

There was no way Liu Ruyan could remain calm.

Just as she was about to send someone to investigate, a disciple finally arrived in haste with a sealed letter.

“Finally!”

Liu Ruyan immediately dismissed everyone from the hall. Soon, only she remained in the silent space.

Whoosh!

She opened the letter and began reading carefully…

A second later, her eyes widened in shock and her delicate figure trembled uncontrollably.

The contents of the letter left her astonished!

[Lin Qingxue—mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. After dual cultivating with Ye Chen yesterday, her cultivation broke through to peak Foundation Establishment at dawn today!]

[Su Nianwan—peak Foundation Establishment Realm. After dual cultivating with Ye Chen last night, she broke through to the Golden Core Realm this morning!]

“This… this is actually real!”

“I didn’t expect that brat to actually have such ability!”

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed as she looked at the letter.

Everything was just as she had suspected—dual cultivation with Ye Chen could directly improve one’s cultivation and help break through bottlenecks!

This couldn’t be a coincidence anymore.

She knew she had made the right gamble by not handing Ye Chen over to the Heavenly Mystic Holy Land—even if it meant offending them, it was worth it.

As long as she held on to Ye Chen, the Blissful Sect could soon rise again!

In her excitement, she even had the thought of trying it herself…

Who wouldn’t want to grow stronger?

She, too, had been stuck at the Spirit Severing Realm for decades, unable to break through to the Void Refining Realm. It had nearly become her inner demon.

If she could break through, she would solidify her position as sect master, give the sect another Void Refining Realm expert, and even free them from the oppression of their longtime enemy, the Demonic Sky Sect…

These were the obsessions that haunted Liu Ruyan.

And for that goal, she was willing to do whatever it took.

To dual cultivate with a disciple… was that really such a big deal?

The moment this thought took root—it completely consumed her mind.

“Let’s hope this boy isn’t bluffing…”

She glanced down at the letter in her hand and, with a flick of her fingers, set it aflame. The secret message turned to ash and vanished.

Liu Ruyan formed a hand seal, then summoned a spiritual sound crane. She relayed the contents of the letter through spiritual message and sent it flying off…

Just then, a disciple came to report from outside the hall.

“Sect Master! Ye Chen is requesting an audience!”

Liu Ruyan paused for a moment, then without hesitation said, “Let him in.”

She hadn’t forgotten the thought that had just bloomed in her heart—

If dual cultivating with this young man could really help her break through her realm…

She had been trapped at the Spirit Severing Realm for so long—no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t reach the Void Refining Realm.

It had become a heart demon.

If she could break through… not only would her position as sect master be unshakable, but the Blissful Sect would gain another top-tier expert—and they could finally shake off the suppression of the Demonic Sky Sect.

These desires consumed her.

And for them… she would do anything.

If sharing a bed with a disciple could make it happen—then why not?
