Chapter 378: The Chosen One… Is My Wife?
I am an Innate Celestial Furnace, and you are also an Innate Celestial Furnace…
Even a fool could understand the implications of these words, and Mu Zhian was no exception.
However, he felt that sothing wasn’t quite right.
Soone like Luo Tan couldn’t have never encountered the Innate Celestial Furnace constitution before.
But she was particularly interested in him…
It seed she had guessed that the spiritual energy within his cauldron wasn’t from the Nine Provinces…
Mu Zhian took a sip of tea, discreetly observing her.
Although she was just a wisp of consciousness, she looked no different from a normal woman.
No, the only difference was that although her attire wasn’t revealing, it exuded a sensual aura.
A faint, sweet fragrance emanated from her. Her white dress hugged her figure, and her long, jade-like legs were encased in black silk. She leaned against her hand, a bright smile on her face.
Her long, wavy hair cascaded down, framing her delicate features, which were adorned with light makeup. Her lips, moistened by the tea, were luscious and inviting.
Hmm, her figure is similar to Sister Jade Empress, her appearance is a nine out of ten, and most importantly, she’s wearing black silk!
“I’m not that kind of person,” Mu Zhian said reservedly. “You should already know about my relationship with the Jade Empress…”
Despite his words, he had to admit that the Empress of Yu State’s attire was very appealing to him.
Skin as white as snow, a white dress paired with black silk… I should have Ruoxi try that soti.
Among the girls he knew, Bai Ruoxi was the most suitable. ngrou and Senior Sister Lan could also try it, but given their personalities, it might take so ti to convince them to play dress-up.
Luo Tan’s eyes flickered, a faint smile playing on her lips. “I know about your relationship with the Jade Empress, but what about your interaction with the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone on the alchemy platform not long ago?”
“Also, I heard from Shuixian that you already had a Dao Companion back in Tianxuan City.”
She looked into Mu Zhian’s eyes. “And Gong Lianyue’s consciousness resides within her.”
So you’ve done your howork and are deliberately teasing … Mu Zhian maintained his smile. “As expected of Empress Luo Tan, you’re truly wise. Gong Lianyue’s consciousness does indeed reside within Ruoxi.”
“I’m not asking you to make a decision right now. I’m just giving you another option.”
Luo Tan smiled. “You already have Dao Companions, but if I’m not mistaken, the Jade Empress ca later.”
Mu Zhian hesitated. “Why did you choose ? If it’s because of the Innate Celestial Furnace, you must have encountered others with the sa constitution before.”
“I’ve encountered the Innate Celestial Furnace constitution several tis, but this is the first ti I’ve seen one that can evolve and even absorb spiritual energy from the Heavenly Court.”
Luo Tan tapped the table lightly with her slender finger and looked at Mu Zhian with a smile. “I can’t guarantee that you’ll reach the Dao Integration realm, but I can at least help you reach the Nascent Soul realm within a month.”
Mu Zhian was skeptical. “Normally, even the most talented cultivators need a long ti to reach the Nascent Soul realm, and it also depends on their comprehension and fate. Reaching the Nascent Soul realm within a month… Are you serious?”
“Under normal circumstances, it would indeed take years or even decades, depending on one’s fate.”
Luo Tan said softly, “However, Young Master Mu, you should know what my constitution is.”
She took a sip of tea and pushed the cup towards Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian glanced at her and, at her smiling gesture, took a small sip.
Boom!
Instantly, a surge of rich spiritual energy filled his body, making him let out a moan of pleasure.
He looked up at Luo Tan in astonishnt. “Your Innate Celestial Furnace can directly benefit ?”
So this is what the spiritual energy of an Innate Celestial Furnace feels like?
A Dao Integration level Innate Celestial Furnace was far more powerful than he had imagined.
Just a wisp of spiritual energy could enhance his cultivation.
If they were to complent each other…
In the past, Mu Zhian had always given the spiritual energy from his Innate Celestial Furnace to others, but he had never known what it tasted like.
Now, just a taste of Luo Tan’s Innate Celestial Furnace’s spiritual energy was intoxicating.
A breathtakingly beautiful smile appeared on Luo Tan’s face. Her white boots accentuated her long legs, and her silver eyes sparkled with amusent.
“Do you like it?”
Mu Zhian was silent for a long ti, then said softly, “It would be hypocritical of to say I don’t.”
He paused, then continued, “However, I can’t go to Yu State with you right now. I’ll go myself after I finish my business here.”
“Also, I’d like to ask you to refine a pill for .”
“A pill? What kind of pill?” Luo Tan asked.
Mu Zhian looked into her eyes. “The Supre Clarity Pill.”
“I know you’re capable of refining it. As for the ingredients, I’ll gather them and bring them to Yu State.”
Luo Tan narrowed her eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, the Supre Clarity Pill is a Rank 9 pill, and it’s only useful for demon cultivators… What do you need it for?”
Mu Zhian was about to speak when a white figure suddenly appeared beside him.
A slender, jade-like finger pressed against his chest. She chuckled softly. “Well, if you want the Supre Clarity Pill, I’ll keep an eye out for its ingredients.”
“Thank you, Sister. I’ll repay you when I go to Yu State!” Mu Zhian said respectfully.
“I’ve heard countless verbal thanks throughout my life.”
Luo Tan scoffed, then leaned forward, grabbing Mu Zhian’s collar, her ample bosom pressing against his arm. She brought her lips close to his ear and whispered, “If you want to repay , co to Yu State soon.”
“And… rember, this is our little secret.”
The Pill Emperor of Yu State, who had just monts ago exuded the aura of an unapproachable Empress, now radiated a sweet, seductive charm.
Her slightly moist eyes and parted lips were close to his ear, and her fragrance filled the air, incredibly tempting.
Mu Zhian’s throat tightened as he looked into her eyes.
Their gazes locked for a mont, then Luo Tan placed her hand on the back of his head, leaned down, and gently kissed him on the lips.
Mu Zhian’s eyes widened, then he felt Luo Tan’s spiritual energy flowing into his cauldron.
It was rich and vast, intoxicatingly sweet.
No wonder people were so obsessed with the spiritual energy of an Innate Celestial Furnace.
Soft lips, warm breath on his face, and her faint fragrance filled his senses.
Before Mu Zhian could savor the mont, the beauty had already withdrawn.
She licked her lips, a sweet smile on her face. “This is my first gift to you, and a token of my sincerity.”
Mu Zhian blinked, staring at the elegant beauty.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’re seeing for the first ti?” Luo Tan asked, glancing at him.
It’s just that your forwardness is a bit… unexpected… Mu Zhian was speechless.
Luo Tan seed to guess his thoughts, a smile in her eyes. “I’ll see you in Yu State.”
Her slender figure disappeared from the room. Mu Zhian leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
Older sisters are truly wonderful…
He opened his palm, feeling the rich spiritual energy flowing through his body.
This was the ‘gift’ Luo Tan had ntioned. In just a few days, he could completely convert this spiritual energy into his own.
After that, his realm would likely increase by at least one rank.
The complentary nature of Innate Celestial Furnaces was indeed tempting.
If this continued, even without cultivating, just complenting each other… would be greatly beneficial for both parties.
Mu Zhian closed his eyes, calming his racing heart.
…
anwhile, Luo Tan had silently left the pavilion and returned to the hall where she was staying.
Her maid was waiting for her. Seeing Luo Tan’s appearance, she was stunned. “Your Majesty… your face is a bit red. What happened?”
A faint blush colored Luo Tan’s usually flawless face, a stark contrast to her usual elegant composure.
Did Mu Zhian do sothing inappropriate…?
A ridiculous thought crossed the maid’s mind, but she quickly shook her head, dismissing it.
Luo Tan’s gaze cald, and she shook her head gently. “Don’t mind it. It’s nothing.”
The maid hesitated. “But your wisp of consciousness seems much weaker…”
Luo Tan said calmly, “I gave Mu Zhian so spiritual energy, that’s all.”
“And it doesn’t matter even if this wisp of consciousness dissipates.”
The maid humd in response, then froze, staring at the elegant Empress.
“Gave Mu Zhian spiritual energy…?”
Her Majesty is an Innate Celestial Furnace. Giving soone spiritual energy… doesn’t that an…?
“Go and make preparations. We’ll be leaving the Eastern Continent tomorrow,” Luo Tan said, her eyes downcast, still pondering the events of the day.
Putting aside the question of how Mu Zhian obtained Heavenly Court spiritual energy, the reason she valued him so much, even inviting him today, was because she saw potential in him.
The potential for a breakthrough.
The Dao Integration realm was the pinnacle of cultivation. Going further wasn’t achievable through normal cultivation.
As long as one’s body remained within heaven and earth, they were bound by its rules. Breaking free through conventional thods was impossible.
But with the Innate Celestial Furnace… things might be different.
Especially since Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace was so special, capable of evolving…
At the Core Formation realm, it could help a Nascent Soul cultivator. What if he reached the Soul Transformation realm, or even the Dao Integration realm?
The Jade Empress was indeed the Jade Empress. Many questioned her judgnt, wondering why she had chosen him, a re Core Formation cultivator…
However, judging from the current situation, her judgnt wasn’t bad at all…
Luo Tan sighed softly.
Although Mu Zhian had seed quite interested in her today, he still couldn’t compare to the Jade Empress, who had known him earlier.
She could only wait until he arrived in Yu State and take things slowly.
…
anwhile, in a private room within the pavilion on Boundless Sea Peak.
From the room, one could see the towering pavilions in the distance. Looking down, one could see the main peak of Boundless Sea Peak, shrouded in spiritual energy, with spirit beasts soaring through the sky and unknown immortal flowers blooming.
A woman in a red cheongsam leaned against the table, admiring the scenery outside.
Lan Mulian had left not long ago, but Lan Feiying remained, enjoying the bustling activity outside.
Suddenly, she seed to sense sothing and turned her head slightly, transmitting her voice to soone.
“Feiying, what are you doing here?”
Shortly after hearing Lan Feiying’s voice transmission, Mu Zhian followed the sound, lifted the curtain of the private room, and saw the mature beauty leaning against the table, her ample bosom resting on the surface.
She was as alluring and beautiful as ever. Seeing Mu Zhian enter, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. “What a coincidence, running into our busybody here.”
With Senior Sister Lan not present, Mu Zhian entered the room and sat down beside Lan Feiying.
“I participated in the alchemy competition today and ca to the pavilion to rest for a while. Why are you here, Feiying?” Mu Zhian asked curiously.
After not seeing her for a while, he felt like he couldn’t quite understand this woman anymore.
With his Innate Spiritual Body, he couldn’t even see through her current realm.
Lan Feiying sat up and stretched languidly, her tight cheongsam accentuating her curves.
She looked at Mu Zhian with a smile. “You sll of a woman. It seems you were just being intimate with soone in the pavilion.”
Feiying’s senses are so sharp… Mu Zhian was surprised, but maintained a calm expression. “I’ve been using scented balms lately. What you sll must be the balm.”
“Speaking of which, Sister did ntion that you gave her a box of scented balm…” Lan Feiying said thoughtfully.
Mu Zhian put his arm around Lan Feiying’s slender waist. “If you like it, Feiying, I’ll prepare one for you next ti I go to Tianxuan City.”
Lan Feiying smiled faintly, glancing at him. “You’ve always been good at pleasing won. No wonder Sister likes you.”
Mu Zhian coughed lightly. “Senior Sister Lan is my Senior Sister. Our relationship is complicated, not what you imagine.”
“Heh.”
Lan Feiying rolled her eyes at him. “Do you really only see her as a Senior Sister? Don’t you know your own feelings?”
“I do see her as a Senior Sister,” Mu Zhian insisted.
“Then close your eyes,” Lan Feiying said.
Mu Zhian hesitated, then closed his eyes.
“Now, don’t imagine the scene of you pressing Sister and onto the bed,” Lan Feiying said, a seductive smile playing on her lips as she stared at Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian: “…”
He opened his eyes helplessly. “You know that saying that will only make imagine it.”
“It just proves that you have impure motives,” Lan Feiying chuckled.
“Actually, if your cultivation surpasses Sister’s and mine in the future, perhaps it could really happen.”
Lan Feiying crossed her legs, looking at Mu Zhian with a teasing smile.
Mu Zhian glanced at her. Her red cheongsam accentuated her alluring figure, revealing her long, fair legs. Her skin seed to shimr like ice crystals under the light.
Mu Zhian was stunned, staring into her eyes, but he couldn’t detect any fluctuation in her emotions, as if she had just said sothing completely ordinary.
“When I beco stronger, I’ll subdue you first, you little vixen,” Mu Zhian said, placing his hand on Lan Feiying’s leg.
Her skin was cool and soft to the touch, sending a shiver down his spine.
Lan Feiying licked her lips, giggling. Instead of retreating, she leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “I’m looking forward to it.”
This little vixen…
If it weren’t for the wrong ti and place, Mu Zhian almost couldn’t resist taking her right then and there.
After chatting with Lan Feiying for a while, Mu Zhian suddenly rembered sothing important. “By the way, a sect disciple died recently. Even within the Two Polarities Sect, it might not be completely safe. You should be careful, Feiying.”
Lan Feiying’s eyes flickered, and she chuckled softly. “You’re quite concerned about Sister, aren’t you~?”
“After all, you’re my favorite woman,” Mu Zhian said seriously, looking at her beautiful face.
All the girls in his heart held the first place…
However, Lan Feiying didn’t tease him as usual. The smile on her face faded.
“If you see this, will you still say that?” Her voice suddenly lowered as she took a ring from her storage ring.
Mu Zhian was stunned. “What are you talking about, Feiying…?”
Before he could finish, Lan Feiying opened her palm.
Seeing the ring in her hand, Mu Zhian’s eyes widened, and he stared at her intently.
“This is…?”
“Don’t you already know?”
Lan Feiying leaned against the armrest of her chair, tilting her head and smiling. “This is Ye Yu’s storage ring.”
“The Chosen One you’re looking for is right here.”
