The two of them gazed at each other, both seeing the emotions in each other's eyes. Although they were already foundation-building cultivators, they were still just teenagers who had just fallen in love and didn't know how to express their feelings.

  After a while, Han Xue suddenly remembered that Li Hui was still seriously injured at this time, and her hand was still on Li Hui's palm, but she had already stopped transferring spiritual energy, and hurriedly activated the spiritual energy in her body again to transfer it to Li Hui.

  "Xu?r!" Li Hui called out softly, shaking his head with effort. "No need, I can absorb spiritual energy on my own now." His palm, however, rotated slightly as he clumsily grasped Han Xue's slender wrist.

  Han Xue's hand trembled slightly, and then gently grasped Li Hui's hand. The two of them gazed into each other's eyes, feeling that all of this was so natural. A sprout quietly took root in their hearts and grew rapidly.

  Li Hui saved Han Xue's life first, and now Han Xue has saved Li Hui's life. These two young men and women who have gone through thick and thin together finally connected their hearts.

  There were no excessive words, no excessive expressions; they understood each other's intentions by looking into each other's eyes.

  ……

  Three days later, in the Linshui Pavilion of Yuankai Xianfu.

  Li Hui sat in the Linshui Pavilion, his upper body was bare and there was a shocking blood hole on his left shoulder.

  Han Xue sat on the stone bench, after two days of rest, she looked radiant and refreshed, without a hint of fatigue. She propped her chin in her hand, with a mix of concern and sweetness, gazing at the young man standing before her.

  Li Hui's body emitted a faint, invisible golden light. His face was solemn and the heavenly spiritual energy passed through his skin, entering from every pore, slowly seeping into his muscles and bones.

  The bullet wound on his left shoulder was bigger than a teacup mouth, only half a minute away from directly piercing the heart, and if that happened, he would be beyond salvation.

  Even so, that blow had already shaken all the internal organs, and the heart was even more severely injured. If Li Hui hadn't cultivated the "Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra Technique" to strengthen his body, his internal organs would have been much weaker than those of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and he might have died on the spot.

  At this time, the wound on his right shoulder slowly recovered with Li Hui's "Dragon Elephant Golden Key" stimulation, and even saw muscles growing and crawling little by little.

  As Li Hui's injuries were recovering quickly, Han Xue felt extremely relieved in her heart. She knew that this was a critical moment and didn't go forward to disturb Li Hui. Instead, she quietly watched from the side without making any noise.

  Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, six days had passed. During this time, Li Hui had been cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra Secret" in Linshui Pavilion to speed up his recovery from injury.

  This "Dragon Elephant Vajra Secret" is indeed a top-notch Buddhist physical and spiritual cultivation technique. Over the past six days, Li Hui's injuries have recovered rapidly. At this point, the bullet wound on his left shoulder has already healed, leaving only a scar that is slowly fading away.

  These past few days, Han Xue had been keeping watch by Li Hui's side. When she was tired, she would sit down to the side to meditate and cultivate, and when she finished cultivating, she would just sit there watching him.

  Three days later, the scar on Li Hui's left shoulder completely disappeared, as if he had never been injured. A thin layer of golden color appeared on the surface of his muscles, more pronounced than before.

  Li Hui's injury has fully recovered, and he feels that his muscles and internal organs are even stronger than before. However, Li Hui still hasn't stopped cultivating, and in his heart, he feels that he is about to make a breakthrough in his physical training, so he wants to make one final push to break through to the fourth layer of the Red Gold Body realm.

  Han Xue watched Li Hui's expression and knew that his injury had fully recovered, and she finally put her mind at ease.

  At this time, Li Hui's breath was several points stronger than before. The spiritual energy of the heavens and earth gathered around Li Hui, forming whirlpools of spiritual power that crazily penetrated into his muscles through his skin.

  Li Hui's whole body emitted golden light, his face had a precious appearance and was dignified, revealing a sense of solemnity.

  Before Li Hui entered the Linshui Pavilion to cultivate and heal his wounds, he had already told Han Xue about cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra Technique". Therefore, Han Xue also had a few guesses in her mind that Li Hui was breaking through, and she didn't worry, quietly waiting on the side.

  Five days later, the spiritual energy around Li Hui suddenly became violent, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy that penetrated into his body.

  The spiritual energy transformed into countless light points that entered his body, permeating every part of Li Hui's muscles and internal organs, constantly tempering them.

  Li Hui felt a tearing pain in his five internal organs and muscles, in fact, the violent spiritual energy was constantly tearing apart the micro-organization of his muscles and internal organs, then repairing them, only to tear them apart again, and repair them again, repeatedly tempering Li Hui's **.

  A brilliant golden light enveloped his body, as if a layer of golden liquid had been poured onto its surface. The golden light flowed unceasingly across his body, yet on Li Hui's face, a faint expression of delight appeared.

  Han Xue, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a little worried again.

  After several hours, the violent heavenly energy around him slowly subsided, and the golden light on his body stopped flowing and solidified. At this time, Li Hui's body surface presented a faint reddish-gold color, although it was faint, it was very obvious. His face was serene and solemn, with a hint of righteous dignity that made people feel awe-inspired, and evil thoughts dissipated.

  "The Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra" finally broke through to the fourth layer, Li Hui's current physical cultivation has reached the early stage of "Red Gold Body", and with just ** power, he can already reach the combat strength of a foundation-building beginner cultivator. In fact, it is absolutely crushing the foundation-building initial-stage cultivators, and can be compared to the foundation-building mid-stage cultivators.

  An hour later, Li Hui opened his eyes, and the golden light on his body dissipated, returning to its normal state.

  "Boom!"

  Li Hui clenched his fist and punched out a punch, compressing the air at high speed, producing a fierce explosive sound.

  "At this point, my strength should be able to catch up with the strength of a mid-grade spiritual artifact, right!" Li Hui now had complete confidence in being able to knock out a Foundation Stage cultivator with just one blow based on his pure strength.

  That is to say, Li Hui stood still and unmoving, allowing a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage to strike him with all his might, yet he couldn't even be injured.

  Of course, this is under the condition that the opponent uses a mid-grade spiritual artifact. If they use a high-grade or top-grade spiritual artifact, Li Hui will still be injured.

  When his Red Gold Body is fully developed, his physical strength will be comparable to that of a top-grade spiritual artifact. At that time, it's likely that no one among the Foundation Building cultivators will be able to harm Li Hui.

  However, in a duel, Li Hui would not stand still and let the opponent attack. With his cultivation at the initial stage of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, as well as his own swordsmanship, Li Hui now had the confidence to confront a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator head-on. However, defeating or killing a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator was still quite difficult, but maintaining an undefeated record was not a problem.

  "Xue Er!" Li Hui walked over to Han Xue, who was quietly waiting aside, and reached out to pull her hand up. "You've been working hard these days." His voice was filled with warmth and gratitude.

  Han Xue's hand was held by Li Hui, but she didn't show any discomfort, and instead looked at him warmly, "As long as you're fine, what does this little hardship matter?"

  Li Hui's heart warmed upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but pull Han Xue over to hug her tightly in his arms. His left arm gently wrapped around Han Xue's slender waist, while his right hand stroked the waterfall of black hair cascading down her back.

  Han Xue was suddenly pulled into Li Hui's arms, her heart racing like a deer, pounding rapidly. At this moment, Li Hui was still wearing his top, Han Xue leaned lightly on Li Hui's chest, a mix of sweat and the unique masculine scent drilled into her nostrils, the muscles on his chest were firm and powerful, making her feel solid and safe.

  Han Xue's mouth suddenly curled up, revealing a mischievous smile. She slightly tilted her head back and gently blew air into Li Hui's ear, softly saying: "You should take a bath!" After that, she started giggling, her laughter sounding like the tinkling of silver bells.

  Li Hui only felt a numbness in his ears, as if he had been electrocuted, and a hot flow rose from his lower abdomen, but then he heard Han Xue laugh and say this sentence, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, his face slightly turning red.

  Noticing Li Hui's change, Han Xue lightly laughed and escaped from Li Hui's arms.

  "Go quickly to the lake and take a bath, I won't peek at you!" Han Xue chuckled, still teasing Li Hui, but her body really turned around, with her back facing Li Hui, only her shoulders shaking with laughter.

  ……

  On the empty space above Niu Tou Mountain, three flashes of light suddenly flew by at high speed. Above the waterfall on Niu Tou Mountain, they stopped and revealed their true forms. They were Shi Wenlong, the Sect Master of Wan Shou Sect, and two other Wan Shou Sect Golden Dan cultivators, Feng Yi and Hong Tianhua.

  "Master, this should be the deep pool where Xiao Yuanchi of the Li Tian Sect said a dragon was hiding." Hong Tianhua looked at the waterfall pouring into the deep pool and said to Shi Wendlong beside him.

  "Hmm, according to Xiao Yuqi's words, it should be here, absolutely no mistake!" Shi Wendlon nodded and said.

  "I just don't know what Xiao Yuqi's purpose is in telling me about the Jiaolong's location, and if this Jiaolong is really subdued by our Wan Shou Sect, it will increase our sect's strength, but it won't be of any benefit to his Lie Tian Sect, right?" Feng Yi said with some deep thought.

  Shi Wenlong looked at Feng Yi with appreciation, "Feng Shizhong can consider it so deeply, it's extremely valuable. However, that Xiao Yuqi told our sect about the dragon information, there should be two intentions. One is to repay the favor of telling our sect about Li Hui's whereabouts, and the other is just to tell our sect where this dragon is, whether we can get it or not, it has nothing to do with Lie Tian Sect."

  Shi Wenyong paused for a moment before continuing, "I heard that Xiao Yuqi suffered quite a bit under the hands of that Jiaolong, not only was he himself injured, but also lost dozens of his disciples. If our sect can subdue this Jiaolong, it would just be adding another golden elixir late-stage demonic beast, and also help Xiao Yuqi vent some of his anger. If we can't subdue it, then so be it, Xiao Yuqi will be even more pleased, what a wonderful calculation!" After finishing speaking, he let out a light sigh.

  "Master, since you clearly understand Xue Yuanqi's intentions, why do you still want to come and subdue this dragon?" Hong Tianhua asked in confusion.

  "Now, among the five sects of Demon Dao, my Beast Sect is the only one without a Yuan Ying cultivator. You and I are considered to be at the highest level of cultivation, but we've been stuck in the late stage of Golden Dan for many years and can't break through. If we were to sit in meditation until our deaths, what would happen to the Beast Sect? Those four sects aren't exactly benevolent either! If we could subdue this dragon, its strength is formidable, and its lifespan is long, it would be a great support for my Beast Sect after I'm gone!" Shi Wendlou said with some sadness.

  "So, this python, our sect must subdue it this time!" Shi Wendlong's voice was extremely resolute.
