The techniques of Eternal Prosperity Sect became even more enticing in her mind.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shou had just set aside his worries and was preparing to head to the bathing chamber to cultivate when Fu Young came running in with hurried footsteps.

"Master, Master, a poor mother and child came to the mountain outside. They begged me to take them in. The child was only a few days old, and the mother has lost all her cultivation. I felt sorry for them, so I agreed. The condition is that she cannot freely enter your cave residence and cannot leave Snowy Cave Mountain."

"Mm, you can decide such small matters yourself. Just make sure she does not bring any trouble or lead others here," Xiao Shou replied casually.

He had no idea that his disciple who appeared to be a bright and lively boy actually had a cold and ruthless nature and was extremely skilled at lying.

From their very first meeting, Fu Young had already been deceiving him, and now doing so again came naturally.

"Master agreed... Master is so kind. I will go settle that poor mother and child right away."

Fu Young happily leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on Xiao Shou’s face before running off again.

Xiao Shou helplessly wiped his face.

Even after three years, this child was still overly lively.

If he had known earlier, he would not have given him that gender bender disguise pill.

During that one month when Fu Young had turned into a girl, his appearance had been far too cute.

Xiao Shou had not been able to restrain himself and had treated him like the little girls from his previous life.

If he did well, he would get a kiss on the cheek as a reward.

If he did poorly, he would be punished by having to kiss his master instead as a "reward."

Back and forth like this, it gradually became a habit.

Whenever Fu Young got overly excited, he would sneak a quick kiss onto Xiao Shou’s cheek before running off.

After successfully deceiving his master, Fu Young immediately ran out of the cave residence.

He chose a spot near the mountaintop that was far from the cave entrance and quickly carved out several stone chambers using his Flying Cloud Sword.

He then placed Qi Gathering Pills that he and his master did not need along with diluted spirit spring milk into a storage bag.

His goal was to allow An Yu to cultivate as quickly as possible and reach the Foundation Establishment stage before his master did, without worrying about stabilizing her realm.

As long as that technique could successfully reach Foundation Establishment, it would prove that his deductions were correct.

After all, those techniques all seemed to originate from his Ninety Nine Calamities Cycles Art. He just separated and simplified it into different branches and making them easier to deduce.

Once that was confirmed, he could let his master cultivate the Three Body Problem Profound Art that he had deduced.

Before that, he needed to find a way to make An Yu cultivate even faster.

After all, his master had already reached the third rotation.

There had to be a method.

According to normal cultivation speed, he himself would never reach the Golden Core stage within twenty years.

It would take two hundred years at least.

Yet in the future An Yu saw through the Sand of Time, he had indeed reached the Golden Core stage within twenty years.

Fu Young quickly began thinking.

His mind was extraordinarily sharp and it did not take long before he came up with a method.

However, this method was quite cruel for a woman.

But what did that matter?

Nothing was more important than ensuring his master could cultivate safely.

From the day An Yu was brought to the mountaintop stone chamber, she began a brutal cultivation routine.

Every day before dawn, she had to swallow Qi Gathering Pills and immerse herself in a spiritual liquid to cultivate.

After absorbing all the spiritual energy, she would then endure a daily lightning tempering using a Tier 1 lightning talisman.

After that, she would take a mid-grade Life Rejuvenation Pill to repair her body and then continue cultivating again.

She only had a brief moment to rest each day when feeding her child.

However, this method of cultivation truly allowed her strength to increase at a rapid pace.

It also made her realize that what she was cultivating was actually an extremely rare Tier 9 sun-grade cultivation technique in the Ten Thousand Wisdom Realm.

This made her cherish everything she had even more.

And it was not just her who cultivated in such a brutal way.

Fu Young did the same every single day, except he used Tier 2 lightning talismans.

After a year and a half, Fu Young suddenly went out for a few days.

When he returned, his aura had become even more unfathomable. Then, in the blink of an eye, another two years passed.

Over a month ago, Xiao Shou’s cultivation had already reached the great perfection of the twelfth level of the fourth rotation in the Qi Refining stage.

He could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage at any moment.

However, Fu Young said that the Three Body Problem Profound Art was almost fully deduced and asked him to wait a little longer.

He wanted Xiao Shou to look at the Tier 9 version of the Three Body Problem Profound Art before deciding whether to break through.

Because of this, Xiao Shou suppressed his cultivation.

For over a month, he could not continue cultivating, so he spent his days reading miscellaneous books and tending to the medicinal garden to pass the time.

On this day, he was truly bored and decided to step out of the cave residence for the first time in a long while.

Ever since bringing Fu Young back, he had never gone out again.

He had been immersed in cultivation every single day.

Counting it now, it had been more than six and a half years.
