Chapter 49 Changyang Daoist
The beauty's favor is so great that the emperor forgets his duties.
I got so engrossed in working on it yesterday that I completely forgot about the time.
When Lu Qingyun woke up from his bed, the sun was already high in the sky.
On the bed, a subtle fragrance wafted in the air. Bai Yuechan's fair and soft body pressed against his, and patches of crimson appeared on the silkworm snow mattress.
A delicate, enchanting ambergris scent lingers in the air.
Bai Yuechan opened her eyes, and the two remained silent, neither of them speaking.
After dressing and veiling her beautiful face with a veil, Bai Yuechan looked at Lu Qingyun with mixed feelings and said softly, "Brother Lu, may I come to find you again tomorrow at Hai hour?"
Although Lu Qingyun appeared calm, his mind was in turmoil, and he unconsciously hummed in response.
After Bai Yuechan left, he shook his head with a wry smile.
Even though Bai Yuechan and he had a one-night stand, their relationship was less about deep feelings and more about mutual need.
Bai Yuechan needed his help to gain support, and at the same time, she wanted to improve her cultivation through dual cultivation. And wasn't he doing the same thing?
However, when faced with the stunningly beautiful woman with whom he had enjoyed a blissful night the previous night, Lu Qingyun couldn't help but pause for a moment in surprise.
Lu Qingyun looked at the distant clouds and regained his composure.
Whether this relationship was based on exploitation or genuine affection, his bottleneck in cultivating with Bai Yuechan finally loosened after his immortality magic absorbed the spiritual poison.
Bai Yuechan, however, benefited even more from the powerful feedback of the Longevity Magic.
Both of them need this relationship to continue.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yuechan's cultivation finally broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining under the constant nourishment of the Longevity Magic Power.
Lu Qingyun's cultivation level remained at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he was still unable to break through.
Lu Qingyun took a sip of tea and smiled, "Congratulations, Miss Bai, on successfully breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now even my uncle-master will have to address you as a senior."
"I also want to thank Brother Lu for making this possible."
Bai Yuechan blinked and buried her beautiful face in Lu Qingyun's arms, showing no airs of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
It was still midnight, though she would revert to her indifferent demeanor once daytime arrived.
But at night, no matter how high her cultivation level was, her heart always belonged to Lu Qingyun.
After several hundred days, the estrangement between the two disappeared.
Although they are still using each other, they seem much more sincere now.
"Unfortunately, my cultivation level has stagnated."
Lu Qingyun gave a self-deprecating laugh. He had a premonition that without a few years of reflection, even with Bai Yuechan's help, he wouldn't be able to break through.
"It will be alright."
Bai Yuechan said softly, with a slight hint of apology.
"To be honest, Yuechan's cultivation technique is too ordinary and has not been of much use to Brother Lu."
Bai Yuechan's "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique" is not very effective in dual cultivation, while Lu Qingyun's "Ancient Wood Longevity Technique" is of great benefit to her.
Lu Qingyun nodded.
He wasn't in a hurry. He was already content that Bai Yuechan was willing to cultivate with him and help him improve his cultivation after breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
It should be noted that cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining hold a very important position within the entire Yunxia Sect.
In the Yunxia Sect, those who break through to the late stage of Qi Refining can directly serve as resident elders.
Bai Yuechan was originally at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while he was at the sixth level.
Considering that a rogue cultivator is one level weaker than a sect disciple, the two are still on equal footing.
However, after Bai Yuechan broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, even Li Fulai had to treat her with respect.
……
Seven days later.
Lu Qingyun had prepared four mid-grade spirit stones. This was the time when Daoist Changyang had agreed to refine magical artifacts with the people of Pingyang Market.
Although he knew that few people in Pingyang Market could come up with such a huge sum of money, Lu Qingyun still reluctantly prepared five mid-grade spirit stones just in case.
With this in mind, having Changyang Daoist take action would make the outcome almost certain.
And he had already made up his mind.
He must have Changyang Daoist refine a first-grade high-quality shuttle for him, which is the late stage of Qi Refining.
Lu Qingyun is not good at swordsmanship. Although the [Green Wood Escape Technique] is good at short-range combat, it is not suitable for escaping.
With the Demonic Sect in power now, forging a shuttle specifically for escape is extremely important.
In the largest room of Chunying Pavilion, thirteen exquisitely beautiful fairies served Changyang Daoist, allowing him to take what he wanted.
The Taoist Changyang lay down among the fairies, indulging in unrestrained pleasure.
Outside the gauze curtain,
The Bai and Zheng families, along with many independent cultivators from various towns and villages, gathered together.
Zheng Tianxuan's cultivation level is still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is dressed in a gloomy black robe and his eyes, like those of a wolf or scorpion, scan the Bai family members.
Upon seeing that Lu Qingyun had actually arrived with Bai Yuechan, Zheng Tianxuan's aura suddenly turned cold.
However, when his gaze fell on Bai Yuechan, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Bai Yuechan, you've actually broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!"
Bai Yuechan met Zheng Tianxuan's gaze, and remembering how he had ambushed her from behind when they met in the Pingyang Mountains, even plotting against her, her eyes turned cold.
"No need to worry, Zheng Tianxuan. Yuechan has never forgotten your great kindness in the past."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an even more profound memory in the future."
Zheng Tianxuan spoke slowly and deliberately, his face grim, and then fell silent.
When the two late-stage Qi Refining experts from the Bai family discovered that Bai Yuechan had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, their expressions changed drastically, as if they had lost their parents.
Bai's father looked pleased, but frowned slightly when he saw Lu Qingyun behind Bai Yuechan.
"Yuechan, you've successfully broken through?"
"I succeeded by sheer luck, Father."
"That's good. But now that you've broken through, you don't need to get so close to Lu Qingyun."
"Once he inherits your grandfather's cultivation, he will surely have the opportunity to establish his foundation. This child once seized a spiritual essence and entered his body. His life's goal is to reach the perfection of Qi cultivation."
Bai Kuohai glanced at Lu Qingyun and then transmitted his voice to Bai Yuechan.
Although their family's income from spirit stones largely depended on the rice seeds provided by Lu Qingyun.
However, if Bai Yuechan could be arranged to marry into a Foundation Establishment family, or directly marry a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would surely bring greater benefits.
Bai Yuechan used the Zheng family as an excuse to gloss over the matter.
Even at this point, Bai Kuohai was unaware of this.
It was precisely because of her dual cultivation with Lu Qingyun, whom she looked down upon, that Bai Yuechan was able to successfully break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, making it impossible for the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the second branch to compete with her for the old master Bai's power.
……
After a long wait, Daoist Changyang finally stretched as if waking from a dream.
He shoved aside the charming fairy beside him, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Ignoring the resentful gazes of the several beautiful fairies, Daoist Changyang calmly straightened his clothes and said loudly:
"Alright, thank you all for waiting. I will, as agreed, craft twenty high-grade magic artifacts for you all within six months."
Daoist Changyang paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and then slowly said, "However, in order to be fair and just to everyone, I will give each of you a jade slip this time."
"Fellow Daoists, please enter your bids here. The twenty Daoists with the highest bids of more than four mid-grade spirit stones will be selected."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Tianxuan's expression suddenly turned cold.
These past few days, Daoist Changyang has been enjoying good food and drink at the Zheng family's house and has slept with countless innocent young girls. He asked the other party if they could agree to give the Zheng family five pre-selected spots.
The other party smiled and did not refuse, as if agreeing.
Now, however, he has to compete with everyone in the market.
They actually managed to get the Zheng family for free.
Zheng Tianxuan gritted his teeth and looked at Changyang Daoist, but Changyang Daoist seemed not to see the distortion on his face and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, this is your jade slip."
