Chapter 154: First Time Using It (Part One)

**Grand Dao Sect**.

“Sister Bai… Master Bai, you finally woke up.”

With a soft whimper, **Chu Ling** was overjoyed and hurried to **Bai Qiulan’s** side.

**Bai Qiulan** slowly opened her eyes, still a bit dazed.

Her memories were stuck at the moment **Lu Ye** returned the **Taiyin Bone Bug** to her, followed by endless waves of pain.

Only **Chu Ling** was here; **Shangguan Huanling** and **Sun Ruowei** were taking care of **Yue Hongling**.

**Yue Hongling** was indeed deeply caring towards **Bai Qiulan**, absorbing most of the chaotic **Chaos Yin Poison** despite the suffering it brought her.

**Transcending Tribulation Realm…**

After waking up, **Bai Qiulan** realized she was still in the **Transcending Tribulation Realm**. Earlier, the **Taiyin Bone Bug** had crazily devoured her energy, causing her realm to drop, but then it exploded with **Yin Power**, bringing her realm back up.

**Bai Qiulan’s** recovery in the ***Transcending Tribulation Realm*** was quick.

The first thing on her mind was what she had gone through in that pain.

“Ling’er, why did my **Yin Poison** disappear? Who did it?” **Bai Qiulan** hurriedly asked.

**Chu Ling** didn’t hide anything and told her the truth.

“It was Hongling. She used the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** to suck out your **Yin Poison**. She’s still in a coma, but you don’t need to worry too much. The **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** is indeed a top-tier secret technique that can completely eliminate **Yin Poison**. Hongling is slowly recovering.” **Chu Ling** explained.

**Bai Qiulan** immediately got up.

“I’m going to check on Hongling!”

“Master, slow down…”

The two of them arrived at **Yue Hongling’s** room, and before entering, they felt a bone-chilling coldness spreading.

**Bai Qiulan** saw **Yue Hongling** lying on the bed, her body frozen stiff, face pale and in pain, and tears instantly flowed from **Bai Qiulan’s** eyes.

“Hongling, why are you so foolish? I told you, you absolutely cannot use the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra**! Why did you still do it? That technique only harms you and me!” **Bai Qiulan** cried as she rushed to **Yue Hongling’s** side, wanting to hold her hand.

But… where’s her hand?

“Where’s Hongling’s hand?”

**Bai Qiulan** nearly lost it, shouting loudly.

**Shangguan Huanling** held up two stiff hands, “Sister Bai, they’re here…”

“How could her hands be cut off? Who did this?” **Bai Qiulan** was filled with rage.

“I did it. There was no other choice. At that moment, Hongling wanted to temporarily stop using the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra**, but her hands were frozen and couldn’t be stopped, so we had to cut them off—it was indeed a last resort.” **Chu Ling** said.

**Bai Qiulan’s** tears fell like pearls.

She took **Yue Hongling’s** hands, and an unbearable chill surged through her.

She touched **Yue Hongling’s** body, which felt even colder.

“From now on, **Yue Hongling** is absolutely not allowed to use the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra**, even if I die, she can’t use it. You all must help me keep an eye on her, do you understand?” **Bai Qiulan** said sternly.

The others could only nod in agreement.

“Hongling, why are you so foolish? This isn’t worth it. This is my physique. This is my life…”

…

One month later.

**Yue Hongling** finally returned to normal, and her hands were reattached.

Surprisingly, her strength had soared due to absorbing the contaminated **Yin Power**.

She had reached the **Sixth Layer of Refining Void**.

“Oh, Master, don’t worry! Look at me, I’m perfectly fine! Not a single aftereffect, and I even gained from misfortune—I broke through three small realms at once, and the purity of my **True Essence** improved. It’s really amazing!” **Yue Hongling** said with a cute grin.

**Bai Qiulan** was still nagging.

“Next time that **Chaos Yin Poison** acts up, you can’t use the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** again. Did you destroy that technique? You mustn’t let **Chu Ling** and **Shangguan Huanling** learn it!” **Bai Qiulan** insisted.

“Don’t worry, I’ve destroyed it!”

**Bai Qiulan** felt quite touched, “Having a disciple like you truly is a blessing for me.”

“Oh, Master…”

“By the way, Master, where’s Senior Brother? I haven’t heard from him in a long time,” **Yue Hongling** asked.

“He’s in seclusion. Ever since he annihilated **Wangu Sect** and **Yin-Yang Sect**, he’s been in that state. I heard that the **Yin-Yang Sect** surrendered and he wiped them all out.” **Bai Qiulan** replied.

**Yue Hongling** paused.

“He’s indeed much more ruthless than in the last life. Sometimes I even doubt if he’s been possessed. How could a person change so drastically?”

“Perhaps we hurt him too deeply…”

Just mentioning **Lu Ye** made the atmosphere a bit heavy for the two.

“Is he about to **Cross Tribulation** and ascend?” **Yue Hongling** asked.

“He broke through to the **Transcending Tribulation Realm** some time ago. At his cultivation speed, he might ascend in two years at the latest,” said **Bai Qiulan**.

**Yue Hongling** grew anxious.

“That’s too fast! Senior Brother’s cultivation speed is too quick! At this rate, he’ll ascend to the **Second Heaven** before long, and then we won’t even see his back. Master, what do we do?” **Yue Hongling** asked urgently.

**Bai Qiulan** didn’t have a good answer either.

“No way, I absolutely won’t allow this to happen! Call **Chu Ling** over immediately, we need to come up with a solid strategy!”

“Alright!”

Surprisingly, **Bai Qiulan** didn’t refute her.

Watching **Yue Hongling** hastily leave, **Bai Qiulan** suddenly frowned, biting her lip softly, suppressing the surging chill within her.

She couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

**Hongling** helped her alleviate the **Chaos Yin Poison**, which didn’t violate the **Ethical Chains**, but could **Hongling** endure this time? What about the next time?

The time after that?

Each subsequent time?

**Chaos Yin Poison** wasn’t a one-time thing; it was permanent and long-lasting.

Without the **Taiyin Bone Bug**, she might have found a way to rapidly grow her power to delay the outbreak of the **Chaos Yin Poison**.

But now that the **Taiyin Bone Bug** was inside her, the pure **Chaos Yin Power** was being absorbed, leaving behind just inferior **Yin Power**.

Rapid breakthroughs were tough now.

At that moment, a thought arose uncontrollably in her heart.

The **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra**, it seemed like the user couldn’t voluntarily interrupt it. What if some wicked, malicious fiends learned this technique? Wouldn’t that mean she wouldn’t need to trouble **Yue Hongling** to absorb it anymore?

In this case, she could even be seen as getting rid of evil for the world.

Once this thought took root, it grew like wild grass, uncontrollably.

If **Bai Qiulan** didn’t suppress this idea, the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** was still in **Yue Hongling’s** hands, and she hadn’t figured out a less direct way to talk to **Yue Hongling** about it.

Soon, four women gathered together.

They held a meeting.

**Yue Hongling** named this meeting.

It was called—the **Husband Chasing Great Operation Pre-Mobilization Meeting!**

**Bai Qiulan**, **Shangguan Huanling**, **Chu Ling**, and **Yue Hongling** were all present for the meeting.

Unfortunately, one **Vermilion Bird** was missing!
