The Invincible Corruption Manual

But his last words to the masses before he went to the Realms War echoed in Joey's heart, "Listen alchemy is not the trash cultivation route that you all have been thinking about. As I myself was born and grown up in a backwater lower world with strong disgust toward those alchemists. Alchemists are considered the lowest of all types of cultivation, as they don't have the power to protect themselves. But making pills is not the only thing an alchemist can do. It took at least 100 swings of sword of a sword master to behead his 100 equally strong opponents. But for an alchemy, it only need a pill to completely obliterate all of them who were way, way, way more, stronger than himself. And last, without the Dao of alchemy no one in this whole cosmos is dare to say that they could reach the acme of cultivation. I am so proud of myself that I took such a wonderful route of cultivation."

Joey muttered the same words and opened his eyes.

"Hah, that is fast!" Chun Churan exclaimed, and she further added, "Do you gain anything, brother Joey?"

Joey stood up and responded with a smile, "I gained something really, really praiseworthy this time."

"Oh, that is good news." Chun Churan said sincerely.

"How long have been in that state?" Joey asked.

"It takes just five minutes, and I thought for a moment that you fail in obtaining the inheritance of this stone statue." Chun Churan replied. She then approached beside him and straightened his robe.

"Five minutes. That is fast indeed. It must have something to do with my purple-golden soul ball refining the white beam of inheritance from this stone statue." Joey muttered under his breath. He then glance up at the face of the giant statue of the man and slowly his face began to match the face of the one who he saw in that memory world.

Joey cupped his hands before the statue and spoke politely, " Senior, please accept my humble salute to you. I, Joey the descendent of the Tang Clan, take an oath now that I will sincerely cultivate your cultivation technique and pass down your teaching and mantle to the rightful person. " Actually, what Joey learned during the inheritance was not just the knowledge of the book 'The Lexicon Of Alchemy Dao', he also learned the revolutionary path of various pioneering in the field of Alchemy curved by the man himself through his sheer effort, sweat and his incessant passion for the alchemy.

He then looked at the face of the stone statue man once again and said, "Alright, let's go forward." He then turned around and began to walk up the staircase for the next platform. Chun Churan also walked up beside him.

"Hey, you seem to change a bit after getting that inheritance." Chun Churan said casually.

"Yan'er, what do I change?" Joey asked casually as they continued climbing up the long steps.

"Your demeanor." Chun Churan further added, "Now, when I look into your eye, I see the eyes of a wild unruly man who doesn't wish to go by the rule."

"Hey, stop imagining things on your own. As your husband, you are praising me too much. Nothing change to me, okay." Joey said and pinched at her waist.

"Ouch! Stop that. You scoundrel!" "I take my words back. You are just the same old bastard. Nothing change much after all." Chun Churan complained and pouted cutely.

Joey's heart melted down seeing her cute expression. As she had the baby's face, when she pouted, it was really a cute sight to behold. It was like she was about to cry like a pampered little girl. This made him to dote on her even more.

Joey suddenly stopped, held her hand with his left hand and caressed at her soft waist that he had pinched early and asked in his softest voice, "Yan Yan, does it really hurt?"

Chun Churan began to wail out loudly. Joey then hugged her and gave a pat on her head.

"Why am I acting like a little girl before him? It is so embarrassing." She screamed in her head while she continued crying outside. It was very natural as Joey had been pampering her all this time by seeing her baby face.

"Alright, alright, you are fine, now." Joey said in his most gentle voice and tapped on her back.

Hearing his words. She began to wail even a bit louder. "Argh, damn!" he thought in his head. He then lifted her face and  kissed her lips again, stopping her from further crying out loud. As she had been crying for a while, snorts came out from her noses and reached the lips of Joey sucking over her upper lips. He didn't care about it at all as they continued kissing each other passionately. After a few minutes, Chun Churan moved back because of breathless as both of her noses were blocked by the snorts.

Joey took out a handkerchief and cleaned her noses first.

Chun Churan also took out her handkerchief from inside her space ring and cleaned his face and said, "I am sorry."

"Hey, no need." "Come, let's go forward there are lot more exciting things waiting for us to witness today." He held her hands and began walking up the steps. The force that had been pressing on them began to grow gradually.

After several minutes of walking, they finally reached the 16th platform. They saw a stone statue of a giant black dragon. Joey felt something familiar, like the felt from the earlier statue. When he looked at Chun Churan, he saw an expression of excitement about an instance that was hidden again.

"Don't tell me that you felt nothing from this stone statue too." "Ran'er, you don't need to tell me your secret. But right now, we are going to take the test of this stone inheritance together." Joey said firmly and pulled her just before the stone statue. Then they sat on the floor in the lotus position side by side to each other in front of the giant stone statue.
