After Ye Fan returned to the Pan Gu secret realm, he immediately received a voice transmission from Li Zhaojun: "Ye Fan, come back for a bit, there are some matters about cultivation I want to discuss with you!"
The one sending the transmission was not Li Zhaojun, but Shen Yan who had taken on Li Zhaojun’s form. Ye Fan didn’t suspect much and personally went to the Heavenly City council hall, where he saw Li Zhaojun and Min Shang; present as well were Sang Yuan and several other female cultivator disciples.
Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun and asked, "Zhao Jun, you have cultivation matters to discuss with me?"
At this moment Shen Yan appeared calm and composed, fully displaying Li Zhaojun’s aura. After all, in Ye Fan’s heart, he actually felt that Shen Yan’s temperament was very close to Li Zhaojun’s. He also liked Shen Yan as a girl, so this instinctive fondness in his heart caused him to lose his greatest vigilance, because in Shen Yan’s bones there were many things he liked.
Shen Yan looked at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, I very much want to directly break through to the Ascension realm, but there are still some areas in cultivating Pure Yin Spiritual Energy that I can’t fully grasp. I hope you can help me!"
"You need my help?" Ye Fan sized up Shen Yan and asked curiously.
Nuwa, at the side, reminded Shen Yan, "I told you long ago, Ye Fan is very familiar with Li Zhaojun’s disposition. Li Zhaojun carries an air of refusing to admit defeat; she never begs others for help. If you ask Ye Fan for help like this, how could he not suspect you?"
Shen Yan at this time seemed as if she hadn’t heard Nuwa’s voice transmission at all, and still went her own way as she said, "Yes, right now perhaps only with your help can I gain improvement in my cultivation in certain aspects. You might feel my request is somewhat inappropriate, but you must know, I want to obtain higher cultivation so that I can help you. The gap between your cultivation and mine is gradually widening; there are fewer and fewer areas where I can actually be of help to you..."
Ye Fan’s expression grew somewhat deep, but he didn’t say anything. He simply nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll help you cultivate!"
Since Ye Fan also hadn’t noticed any problem with the Pure Yin Spiritual Energy in Li Zhaojun’s body, he did not oppose helping her. Even if Li Zhaojun had somewhat changed her temperament, in Ye Fan’s eyes this could only mean Li Zhaojun had "opened up" a bit and was no longer as stubborn in certain respects as before.
Ye Fan instructed Sang Yuan, "Go tend to your own matters first. I’m here, you don’t need to worry about this!"
"Yes, young master!" Sang Yuan hurried off, leaving only Ye Fan, Li Zhaojun, and Min Shang. But in truth, the ones remaining in the council hall were Ye Fan, Shen Yan, and Nuwa. It was just that Shen Yan and Nuwa’s bodies before him had had their true essence completely covered up by Nuwa’s extremely powerful life force. At this moment they were entirely using Li Zhaojun and Min Shang’s bodies, making it impossible for Ye Fan to detect any flaw.
"Min Shang" walked from behind to stand behind Ye Fan and asked, "Fan, how are we going to cultivate today? Do I need to help Elder Sister?"
"Li Zhaojun" smiled lightly and said, "Little Sister, today the main cultivation will be letting Ye Fan help me... and he can help you as well. But you must remember, if any trouble arises during the cultivation process, you must remember to place complete trust in Ye Fan. Only then can you overcome the dangers. If you still harbor any misgivings toward Ye Fan, you might fall into an irredeemable abyss of eternal damnation!"
These words sounded like a reminder to Min Shang, but also like a reminder to Ye Fan, as if telling Ye Fan to completely trust her.
At this time Shen Yan also displayed some of her own little cleverness. She had actually said this because she wanted Ye Fan, when he encountered danger regarding her, to rush in to save her without hesitation.
Ye Fan said, "Let’s begin the cultivation..."
The three of them entered the cultivation chamber, and Ye Fan began helping the two women cultivate. Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy also entered into the two women’s bodies.

Nuwa’s power also belonged to a kind of inconceivable ability. She could not only alter Shen Yan’s and her own appearance and bodily traits, she could even change their cultivation attributes, so that at this moment Ye Fan had absolutely no idea that he was actually being deceived.
Even when Ye Fan was cultivating with Shen Yan, he never noticed anything wrong with the Shen Yan before him. He simply assumed the person in front of him was Li Zhaojun, because their cultivation together was basically no different from how Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun had cultivated before.
"Ye Fan, inject your Spiritual Energy into my Qi Sea..." Shen Yan suddenly said.
Ye Fan replied, "No, that’s not allowed. Doing that will cause my Pure Yang Spiritual Energy to interfere with your Pure Yin Spiritual Energy. This is no longer like when we cultivated at the beginning, because you and I have never crossed that final boundary, so this kind of cultivation is very dangerous for you!"
Shen Yan said, "Ye Fan, it’s fine. I can feel the Pure Yin Spiritual Energy in my body can completely fuse with your Spiritual Energy..."
This cultivation process was in fact fabricated by Shen Yan and Nuwa to make Ye Fan fully believe it. No matter how powerful Nuwa’s abilities were, given time some flaws would still show, and those flaws would gradually be grasped by Ye Fan. Ye Fan was also slowly beginning to develop some suspicion. At this point Shen Yan had to find, in a short time, an opportunity to send the interfering Spiritual Energy into Ye Fan’s body.
So Shen Yan couldn’t wait and extended this "invitation" to Ye Fan. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
But Ye Fan would not casually attempt some dangerous cultivation method, because he knew that he and Li Zhaojun had not yet crossed the final threshold of being husband and wife; the two of them were still husband and wife in name only. If he did this, it would still be very easy for the "Li Zhaojun" before him to fall into danger, and that was an outcome Ye Fan could not accept.
Even if Shen Yan made it sound wonderfully persuasive, and even though Ye Fan had ample trust in her, he still would not use a dual-furnace method of cultivation to help Shen Yan.
After all, this was Spiritual Energy power being transmitted through the body’s meridians and Eight Extraordinary Channels, not dual-cultivation in the furnace. What Ye Fan felt within his own body was a surge of Spiritual Energy. He had been using Pure Yang Spiritual Energy to help the Shen Yan before him cultivate, but in truth this method of cultivation had absolutely no effect on Shen Yan.
But just then, Ye Fan seemed to notice a clue. He discovered that within the body of the "Li Zhaojun" before him, some kind of power seemed to be sealed.
Just as Ye Fan was about to probe further, Nuwa also noticed that Ye Fan’s probing power was steadily increasing. She secretly used her Spiritual Sense to convey her thoughts to Shen Yan: "I didn’t expect Ye Fan’s cultivation to have surpassed my imagination. We must stop immediately. If this continues, he still won’t send his Spiritual Energy into your Qi Sea, and instead will discover that you are in disguise!"
"Then what should we do?" Shen Yan was also somewhat nervous and asked back with her Spiritual Sense.
"Just as I said before: since you want to personally kill him, then you must use the most basic kind of power—you must truly become his wife. Only by using the dual-furnace method will he place infinite trust in you. Do you understand?" Nuwa said.
