Chapter 108

When such an incident occurred, Lu Changsheng’s instincts forbade him from divulging it.

But deep inside, he was very agitated, unsure how to face it, unwilling to just let it go.

Because during their intimate encounter, Lu Changsheng did more than just take her virginity.

She possessed a very rare constitution, the Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body.

In the early stages, this constitution doesn’t offer any benefits for cultivation.

But after a breakthrough into the Core Formation Stage, it becomes effective.

A strand of spirit-nurturing energy would emerge within her body.

This spirit-nurturing energy has the effect of purifying the True Elixir and enhancing the consolidation of the Nascent Soul.

Yet this spirit-nurturing energy, after her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body was deflowered, automatically entered Lu Changsheng’s body.

And there’s no way to reclaim or regenerate this energy.

It can only grow and be nourished within Lu Changsheng’s body, using their Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Bodies and a secret dual cultivation technique as a catalyst.

Thus allowing the spirit-nurturing energy to benefit both the man and woman in refining the True Elixir and enhancing the Nascent Soul.

Previously, even though the Red Phoenix Fiend submitted and pledged loyalty to her, he desired to dual cultivate with her, precisely because of her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body and the spirit-nurturing energy within it.

But now, her spirit-nurturing energy has entered the body of Lu Changsheng, a minor cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.

She had just checked Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Root grade.

It was only an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root.

This revelation left her dumbfounded.

Such a Spiritual Root made Core Formation seem remote, let alone the challenge of achieving the Foundation Establishment Stage!

This view of Lu Changsheng made Yun Wanshang speechless.

She couldn’t fathom how someone with such good looks could have such a poor Spiritual Root!

Having cultivated arduously to Core Formation and possessing the Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body, she could have chosen any suitable husband, with a future prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, but now…

Her heart was filled with a sense of grievance.

Yun Wanshang stopped dwelling on these thoughts, not wanting to look at Lu Changsheng anymore, as it would only make her more frustrated.

With a wave of her hand, a pair of embroidered shoes adorned with lotus flowers flew onto her feet, and she transformed into a rainbow of light and left, disappearing from the cave.

“Phew!”

Upon seeing the woman leave, Lu Changsheng heaved a deep sigh.

“Turning into a rainbow to fly, this woman must be a Nascent Soul Immortal, right?”

“Could it be that the duel that night involved this woman fighting against someone else?”

Considering the situation, Lu Changsheng mused internally.

He also waved his hand, picking up and donning his clothes.

Just then, a jade pendant flew steadily from the sky and landed in front of him.

“This jade pendant can conceal your aura. If you ever face a life-threatening crisis in the future, you may activate this pendant!”

“Should you successfully reach the Foundation Establishment, I may consider giving you a chance!”

Meanwhile, a cold and indifferent voice sounded in Lu Changsheng’s ears.

It was Yun Wanshang’s voice.

“Facing a life-threatening crisis, activate the jade pendant?”

“Success in Foundation Establishment, given a chance?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng picked up the jade pendant, his face lighting up with joy and excitement.

It seemed this Fairy wasn’t as heartless as he thought, who would no longer recognize him once she’d put on her skirt.

Perhaps she was someone with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Lu Changsheng still had confidence in reaching Foundation Establishment.

After all, he had the system on his side.

As long as the child proved to be promising and diligent, what Fairy or witch couldn’t he, a father, marry?

There and then, Lu Changsheng bowed towards the sky: “Thank you, Fairy. I, Lu Changsheng, will surely strive to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

However, there was no response from the heavens.

Lu Changsheng stood for a while, and when he received no reply and sensed the other party had truly left, he began to examine the jade pendant in his hand.

The palm-sized pendant was painted with clouds and mists, and nine-colored radiance flowed within it.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t discern the quality of the jade pendant.

But he felt that a gift from a Nascent Soul Immortal must be a top-grade Magic Artifact or a Spiritual Artifact.

“Who would have thought that I, Lu Changsheng, would end up living off a woman.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself internally.

Now, he seemed to have a Nascent Soul Immortal as support.

If he encountered any peril in the future, he could call upon a Nascent Soul Immortal for help.

However, he felt that if he really activated the pendant for help, it would probably be the end of his association with this colorfully robed woman.

Only after his successful Foundation Establishment could he activate the pendant to seek her out and then have further interactions with her.

Which was reasonable.

The other party was a Nascent Soul Immortal!

And he was just a weakling in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Her willingness to give him a chance after he reached Foundation Establishment was already very generous.

“But if I want to officially marry her and have children, I’m afraid I’ll at least have to reach the Core Formation Stage, right?”

“And I wonder if our three nights of effort could have resulted in a pregnancy? If so, any child born would surely be extraordinary, right?”

Lu Changsheng secretly contemplated, and then shook his head.

He was getting ahead of himself, thinking about her bearing children for him when there was not even the slightest sign this would happen.

Moreover, for cultivators who did not wish to conceive, no matter what the effort, it would be in vain.

Then, Lu Changsheng turned his attention to the Peach Blossom Gu in his spiritual sea and said, “You little thing have really outdone yourself, being so inconspicuous and unnoticed, yet causing such a big commotion when you do appear, huh?”

The Peach Blossom Gu feeds on the luck of romantic encounters!

The more prosperous the romantic luck around the host, the faster the Peach Blossom Gu grows.

During these three days, not only did Lu Changsheng himself gain an increase in his cultivation level.

The Peach Blossom Gu also rapidly grew, nearing the threshold of transformation.

Even Lu Changsheng, as naive as he was, knew that his recent streak of romantic luck couldn’t be unrelated to the Peach Blossom Gu.

“But this thing seems like a double-edged sword.”

“After all, romantic luck, if not handled properly, can easily turn into a romantic calamity.”
