Ye Fan could receive boundless tenderness from Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting here.

It was an affectionate and lingering afternoon. Ye Fan didn’t even need to think about things outside, focusing solely on enjoying the youth and vitality of the two girls. Subsequently, he had a bit of responsibility to fulfill—to help Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting cultivate, enabling them to reach a cultivation level above the Golden Core Stage, and possess some self-defense ability in the second secret realm.

This was the first time Ye Fan attempted to help those around him achieve a cultivation level above the Golden Core Stage. As for how much he could assist them in advancing, he was still uncertain. Directly elevating them to a level of ascension wasn’t realistic; even if elevated to a rather high level, the girls by his side wouldn’t know how to harness the power within them. Problems would inevitably arise, possibly causing their cultivation to stall, unless he helped them advance again next time.

This time, he was using his own cultivation to try to help Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting attain a cultivation level above the Divinity Transformation Stage, striving to reach the Mahayana Realm.

Regarding the cultivation within Ye Fan’s body, providing this level of cultivation wasn’t difficult. Even if Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting absorbed only a tiny fraction of his energy, he could still provide an endless stream of power to ensure the transformation of their physiques.

However, this transformation placed Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting in torment. They were defying destiny with a brief period of time, letting their bodies undergo a metamorphosis.

"Brother Fan, it’s so uncomfortable. When will it end? I... I can’t take it anymore!" Qin Mengyao was the first to cry out, unable to bear the agony any longer. She felt as if her body was splitting apart, the spiritual energy crashing inside her, and her body advancing from the Golden Core Stage towards the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ye Fan glanced at Yang Xiaoting beside him; she was also drenched in sweat. Clearly, neither girl could adapt to this sudden surge in cultivation power. Their bodies absorbed little external energy, and absorbing a bit meant hundreds or thousands of times the power circulating around their bodies, putting them through painful torment.

"Bear with it, or I’ll numb your nerves first, to make you feel more comfortable..." Ye Fan said, using the ice power in the elemental force to suppress the nerves of Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting.

But this seemed to be of little effect, because the cultivation process involved the alteration of bodily functions, even changing the way their bodies absorbed energy, subjecting them to a huge impact. Even with numbed pain perception, they could still feel tremendous pain, and entering a coma wasn’t possible because at this time every cell in their bodies was changing, including brain cells, making sleep impossible.

Ye Fan thought, "Given their level of pain, does it require creating an illusion, allowing their minds to connect to another space to alleviate their suffering?"

Ye Fan recalled that Xi He was among the people he brought this time. If he used Xi He’s power to help Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting, perhaps there would be miraculous effects. He immediately used sound transmission to Xi He, who was cultivating: "Xi He, use your method to help them enter an illusion to ease their pain!"

"This... doesn’t seem right!" Xi He replied, "More like drinking poison to quench thirst, but since the master requests it, I can only try. If the two girls develop some mental issues as a result, they can’t blame a servant!"

Ye Fan just didn’t want to see Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting suffer greatly, so he said, "Do as I say. It shouldn’t be a problem. Their spiritual power isn’t very weak; as long as they can come out of the illusion, they can return to their original world!"

After Ye Fan spoke, Xi He indeed created an illusion. To make the two girls believe the illusion was real, Xi He crafted it based on the specifics of the second secret realm. With her capability, creating such an illusion was already a breeze. Once the illusion was completed, Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting felt they returned to the ordinary world, and Ye Fan had already finished helping them cultivate, significantly easing the pain inside their bodies. They simply believed that after cultivation completion, there was still some pain, which fell within the range they could accept.

Even so, the two girls were still somewhat dazed, because the pain was still somewhat tormenting for ordinary girls. Qin Mengyao said, "Brother Fan, why is it still this painful, can we return to the way we were before?"

Ye Fan did not respond to her because he knew that in the illusion, the "Ye Fan" inside must be comforting Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting verbally, so he didn’t need to intervene himself. What he needed to do now was to continue assisting Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting in their cultivation.

Soon, Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting’s cultivation levels advanced beyond the Nascent Soul Stage, and they entered the early Divinity Transformation Stage. Ye Fan wanted to further help the two girls cultivate but had to pause for a while, as he had never attempted anything similar before. If he helped them improve too much at once, he feared unforeseen consequences due to their inability to adapt, which was not the result he desired.

Since Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting were still within the illusion, Ye Fan could only hurry to end this cultivation session, letting them return to the real-world space. Thus he stopped the method of infusing spiritual energy and instructed Xi He to withdraw the illusion.

When Qin Mengyao and Yang Xiaoting suddenly lost the immense pressure, their nerves seemed on the verge of collapse. Just then, they closed their eyes, their minds almost lost. Perhaps Qin Mengyao’s physique was slightly better, as she opened her eyes earlier than Yang Xiaoting. She looked at Ye Fan, her tone somewhat weak, and said, "Brother Fan, has it completely ended now?"

Because in the illusion, she was also interacting with Yang Xiaoting and Ye Fan, then fell unconscious, causing her to not distinguish clearly whether it was illusion or reality, thinking all the matters were seamlessly connected.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "It’s already over. You’re not facing any major issues; try testing your cultivation now. You’ve already passed the Divinity Transformation Stage and advanced two cultivation levels, but it doesn’t mean you can completely rest assured. Once I find a better method upon further attempts, I will help you obtain higher cultivation levels!"

"Thank you, Brother Fan!" Qin Mengyao appeared somewhat shy, leaning directly against Ye Fan, unable to speak a word. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ye Fan didn’t say much more; on the other side, Yang Xiaoting was still unconscious. He could only use some warm spiritual energy to help the two girls consolidate their cultivation. Considering the time, he himself was about to leave.
