Chapter 458: 458. After the event
Qiu Yan debuted at the age of 18 as the “World Traveler” for the Hua Mountain Sect, a role she had held for 12 years.
This position was essentially that of the Hua Mountain Sect’s external representative and diplomat.
Relying on her extraordinary background and beauty, Fairy Qiu always flourished like a fish in water, causing nurous heroes to bend over backward for her.
Even Jinn Governor Jiang Shixiang was one of the many suitors, longing to enjoy her favor but unable to achieve it.
But at this mont, this pure and noble Fairy… had been thoroughly humiliated.
There was no romance or even the slightest sense of aesthetic, just the crude and unrefined actions of a brute.
Having suffered such a catastrophic humiliation, Qiu Yan clenched her teeth, filled with imnse hatred!
What she resented was not only the loss of her pristine status and the plumting of her own value, but also the disappearance of her irresistible charm.
This was even more unbearable than killing her.
anwhile, Jiang Haiyan watched her master being humiliated, filled with horror and utter incomprehension:
What on earth was going on? Why didn’t her master resist? Not even a single rebuke?
On any other day, if her own father stepped slightly out of line, her master would imdiately respond with fierce disdain and a cold face.
No matter how capable this Lu Li was, he surely couldn’t have made a direct descendant of the Hua Mountain Sect endure such disgrace?
The ability to endure what others can’t usually hints at a larger sche!
At this mont, not only did Qiu Yan dare not reveal any hatred, she didn’t even show her dissatisfaction, gritting her teeth and forcibly enduring as she was despoiled.
Only when Lu Li had harvested enough Yin Elent did he retreat with a sound and step back.
Then, Qiu Yan straightened up, her hair disheveled, and with a seductive smile, she said:
“True Monarch truly possesses extraordinary talent, I admire you. We have been acquainted for years, and today we can consider our relationship consummated.”
The Fairy, usually haughty and domineering, even prone to smoking, now had to force a smile after being toyed with.
“One can only say that the world is impermanent,” Lu Li nodded and said, “Thank you for your Yin Elent.”
“To have been harvested by True Monarch is my good fortune.”
Qiu Yan replied with a polite smile and then, holding her belly, added:
“However, it is my first ti experiencing this, and my body feels sowhat discomforted. I must take my leave first, so please do not take offense.”
Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Alright, go rest.”
“I shall take my leave.”
Qiu Yan smiled and perford a Wanfu Ceremony, quickly leaving with Jiang Haiyan.
Just before leaving, she glanced inadvertently with the corner of her eye at the Thunder Refining True Understanding in Lu Li’s hand.
Qiu Yan’s clothes were disheveled, her hair was in disarray, but her face always held a smile.
However, as soon as she was far from the Liangjiang Governor’s Mansion, the smile on her face disappeared abruptly, leaving only resentnt and venom!
“Scoundrel Su!”
Qiu Yan slamd her palm into a tree, breaking it, her beautiful face twisted as she said:
“That Lu Li only prefers voluptuous won, it must have been after hearing Scoundrel Su’s instigation that he suddenly took advantage of ! This woman beca a worn-out shoe herself, and now she can’t stand to see anyone else well off!”
Both won had always cultivated the image of a Fairy, and their day-to-day competition was rife with filth, now escalating to a deadly feud.
After cursing for a while, Qiu Yan had Jiang Haiyan fetch so clean water to wash herself off.
Jiang Haiyan attended to her at the side, whispering tentatively:
“Master will surely not let Scoundrel Su and that Lu Li off easily.”
As the daughter of the Governor, Jiang Haiyan had a vague sense that her master, or rather the Hua Mountain Sect, had great ambitions.
Qiu Yan glanced at her and sneered:
“Even if Lu Li has the talent to pierce through heaven and earth, he has ultimately missed the first move. No matter how hard he struggles, he’s just seasoning himself, making himself even more to my taste~”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the voice of Qiu Haqing echoed in her mind:
[Is the Secret Manual sent out?]
With utmost respect, Qiu Yan replied, “Reporting to the Sect Leader, it has been given to him.”
[Good job, co back, and I will personally assist you in breaking through to the Golden Body]
“Thank you for your cultivation, Sect Leader!”
Qiu Yan’s face showed ecstatic joy, forgetting even the pain of her defiled body.
~~~~~~~~~~
At the sa ti, Lu Li was flipping through the “Thunder Refining True Understanding” that Qiu Yan had sent him.
This book discussed breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation and bore a striking resemblance to the “Heaven and Earth Unjust Scripture” from the Taishan Sect, but both ntioned “Soul and Body Integration”!
By using the Heavenly Thunder to temper oneself, one can fuse the Divine Soul and the physical body into one entity.
That way, one would discard the useless body and focus solely on the Divine Soul. Plus, having the body as a barrier makes passing the Heavenly Tribulation even easier.
This sounded very reasonable, and having personally experienced the terror of Otherworld thunders, any normal person would undoubtedly believe in “Soul and Body Integration.”
But with information provided by Su Qing, Lu Li knew from the start that the Immortal Sects had no good intentions, and this only reinforced his suspicion that there was sothing wrong with “Soul and Body Integration.”
Even Su Qing could see this and opened her mouth to say,
“Both factions want you to undergo ‘Soul and Body Integration;’ it’s obvious they’re trying to trap you with this. Moreover, with the secret manuals being ninety-nine percent true and one percent false, their deceit is truly insidious.”
The secret manuals provided by the two factions were 99% accurate, except for the part about “Soul and Body Integration,” making them almost impossible to guard against.
But this only strengthened Lu Li’s faith:
“Indeed, cultivating Refining God and Martial Arts concurrently is the correct path, just… more difficult.”
“No matter how difficult, this mule here has ways~”
Su Qing had full confidence in him and added with a smile, “How about it, is playing the true disciple of the Immortal Sect fun?”
Lu Li responded indifferently, “It’s alright, I guess… It wasn’t my idea in the first place, you’re the one who taught to be bad.”
“F**k! You really have no sha!”
Su Qing pinched Lu Li’s waist in disdain, “Getting comfortable and then turning your back, how earnest you were just a mont ago!”
“It was just a way to let off so steam, I’ve been annoyed with that woman for a long ti… But let’s not talk about this now.”
Lu Li summoned the Kunlun Mirror and took out several Spirit Fruits, saying,
“These are from the Dragon Girl, I saved so for you… Oh, and the rit Golden Lotus.”
In the blink of an eye, Su Qing’s hands were filled with several Spirit Fruits, while hundreds of Golden Lotuses floated around her.
Su Qing was sowhat stunned…
This caliber of resources would usually require degrading oneself, enduring humiliation, and fierce competition to obtain.
But now, soone was offering them proactively.
At this point, Lu Li urged, “Eat them quickly~”
Su Qing snapped out of it, stuffing the Spirit Fruits into her bosom, saying,
“My old man and old lady are getting on in years, I’ll save them for them.”
The Spirit Fruits from the Dragon Girl not only helped with cultivation but also had the miraculous effect of extending life.
Naturally, Lu Li wouldn’t interfere with Su Qing’s filial piety and said, “Then you keep these rit Golden Lotuses.”
“You just gave a billion rit not too long ago; I’ve only refined a little over twenty percent…”
Su Qing looked resigned and deeply moved, never having thought she would experience an excess of resources.
Her body could only handle refining a billion Wish Power at most; how could she eat another hundred Golden Lotuses?
Lu Li said, “Wish Power is too mixed, not really a good thing. I suggest you discard it entirely and only use the Golden Lotuses for your cultivation.”
“No way! That’s too wasteful!”
Used to living a tough life, Su Qing instinctively refused.
But Lu Li was determined and said firmly,
“Why use the inferior when you have the superior? Trust , give up the Wish Power, use the Golden Lotuses! Now!”
Such a domineering statent was sweet music to Su Qing, who felt a rush of sweetness.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
She activated her cultivation technique and directed the rolling Wish Power into Chaohu, with a faint mist arising from the lake’s surface.
After making room, she ingested fifty Golden Lotuses in one gulp.
“That’s all I can handle for now.”
Su Qing patted her stomach and said, “In a little while, I’ll activate a Fusion Acupoint first and see how my sect reacts.”
She didn’t bear the surna Liu and had no blood relation to the upper echelons of Taishan Sect, so she dared not strengthen herself recklessly.
Lu Li sighed inwardly, yearning even more for the Heavenly Tribulation, for with power, one could live freely.
But if one were to quantify everything, a single bolt of Heavenly Thunder could deplete 20% of his health!
Passing the Heavenly Tribulation was extrely perilous, and Lu Li had little confidence in succeeding.
