Chapter 195: As Expected, Not a Proper Person, Starting to Heal!

Lu Changsheng heard Li Xingyu’s words and raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t expect the Li family to come.

It seems someone was watching near the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

Otherwise, how could they come so soon after he returned?

“Alright, I’ll go and take a look.”

Lu Changsheng walked out of the alchemy room, ready to see what they wanted.

Li Xingruo also went out with him.

The three of them went to the shop’s main hall.

There, a thin middle-aged man, about thirty years old, wearing an ink-colored robe, stood.

When he saw Lu Changsheng and the two sisters, he respectfully bowed: “I am Li Zhanghu of the Li family. Greetings, Master Ye.”

“What do you want?”

You don’t hit a smiling face.

Seeing his politeness, Lu Changsheng didn’t speak coldly and said calmly.

“I heard of Master Ye’s great name, so I came to pay my respects.”

Li Zhanghu took out a beautifully crafted gift box from his Storage Bag and said politely.

“No need for gifts. You can speak directly about your business. If there’s nothing, I have alchemy to do.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his behavior and said calmly, showing no emotion.

He wondered what the Li family wanted.

They didn’t seem to be here to cause trouble.

Or were they trying to be polite first?

Trying to keep him out of the sisters’ affairs with the Li family?

“I heard Master Ye just arrived in the Immortal City, so our family wants to ask if you plan to settle here.”

“Our family land, Great Cliff Mountain, is not far from the city. We have four Foundation Establishment experts and a Second-Tier alchemist heritage. I came to invite Master Ye to become our family’s guest elder, if you are willing.”

Li Zhanghu smiled and politely stated his purpose for coming.

Li Xingruo and Li Xingyu glared at Li Zhanghu upon hearing this.

Their Treasure Pill Pavilion couldn’t get an alchemist because of the Li family.

Now, with Lu Changsheng here, they immediately sent someone, which made them very angry.

“I’ve signed a contract with Treasure Pill Pavilion. I am now their resident alchemist. Please leave.”

Lu Changsheng said directly upon hearing this.

“In that case, I apologize for the disturbance. Please accept this token of my respect.”

Li Zhanghu did not insist.

He mainly came to test Lu Changsheng’s relationship with the sisters.

From Lu Changsheng’s attitude, he understood that Lu Changsheng had no goodwill towards their family and was on the sisters’ side.

“No merit, no reward. No need for the gift.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

“Master Ye, I also came to apologize and explain the past misunderstandings to my two nieces.”

Li Zhanghu sighed and spoke.

He said that the sisters had misunderstandings with the family.

The family had no malice towards the sisters.

It was because a Foundation Establishment elder had some grievances with their parents and acted domineeringly.

Before things could be settled, the sisters left the family, cutting ties, causing tension.

Otherwise, given their parents’ contributions and Li Xingruo’s alchemy talent, the family wouldn’t have treated them like this.

If the sisters apologized, the family would forgive and treat them well.

“There’s no misunderstanding. We have no relationship with the Li family and will not return.”

Li Xingruo said coldly.

She was not stupid.

There might have been misunderstandings back then.

But the family’s actions over the past year had left her heartbroken.

She could not believe their words.

A simple misunderstanding couldn’t erase everything.

If it was a misunderstanding, why did they only now send Li Zhanghu to apologize?

It was because of Lu Changsheng’s presence that they came to apologize.

Otherwise, they would keep pressuring them.

Forcing them to sell the shop and leave the Immortal City or apologize to the family.

“Alright, I’ll accept the gift. Whether it was a misunderstanding is not my concern.”

“I am now Treasure Pill Pavilion’s alchemist. I don’t want you troubling us.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He understood Li Zhanghu’s purpose.

To see his relationship with the sisters.

If there was no relationship, they would give a gift hoping he wouldn’t interfere.

If there was a good relationship, they would show goodwill, resolving the enmity.

Understanding this, Lu Changsheng was not aggressive.

He wasn’t going to seek justice for the sisters.

Their relationship wasn’t that deep.

He didn’t have the time or interest.

As long as the Li family didn’t trouble the Pavilion, it was fine.

Accepting the gift showed his stance, ending the matter.

“Yes, sorry to bother you. I’ll take my leave.”

Seeing him accept the gift, Li Zhanghu sighed in relief.

It showed that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t interfere with their family matters.

Though they didn’t fear Lu Changsheng.

They didn’t want to offend a high-tier alchemist over this.

“Take care.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

“Thank you, Master Ye.”

After Li Zhanghu left, Li Xingruo’s eyes reddened, and she sincerely thanked Lu Changsheng.

Though he didn’t speak of justice.

Him siding with them made her very grateful.

“Thank you, Master Ye.”

Li Xingyu also thanked him.

She was young but not stupid.

She knew the apology was because of Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come now.

“No problem.”

“The Li family should not trouble you anymore.”

“Xingruo, you can try to invite a Second-Tier alchemist to the Pavilion. This way, after I leave, there will still be an alchemist.”

Lu Changsheng patted their heads and spoke warmly.

He knew the enmity between the sisters and the Li family was temporarily resolved.

“Yes, Master Ye.”

The sisters felt a sense of loss hearing he would leave.

The past month with him was their happiest time in a year.

They had feelings for him.

They hoped he would stay.

But they knew he would leave in a month.

“This is the power of status.”

“Their parents were Foundation Establishment but died, and the family treated them poorly.”

“Now, because of my status, the Li family is willing to apologize.”

Lu Changsheng returned to the alchemy room, shaking his head.

He felt emotional about this.

He spent most of his time in the Pavilion making pills and talismans.

One day, Ling Zixiao came to the Pavilion.

“Master Ling?”

Li Xingyu greeted her respectfully.

The Immortal City was not too big.

Ling Zixiao, a formation master, was well-known.

So, Li Xingyu had seen her before.

“Is Master Ye here?”

Ling Zixiao smiled elegantly.

She had prepared everything and came to ask about her treatment.

Solving her Dragon Roar Body was most important.

Delaying increased the risk.

She was curious about Lu Changsheng after buying information about him.

She wanted to know him better.

“You’re looking for Master Ye?”

Li Xingyu was surprised.

She didn’t expect her to know him.

“Yes, I have an appointment with Master Ye. Could you inform him?”

Ling Zixiao smiled.

With that, she looked at the cute and delicate face of Li Xingyu.

She couldn’t help but think to herself, “Lu Changsheng staying at the Treasure Pill Pavilion, could he be interested in this little girl?”

She remembered that after the original owners of the Treasure Pill Pavilion both died, only their two children were left to manage the shop.

“This man is definitely not a proper cultivator.”

Ling Zixiao thought to herself with a scoff.

She was more convinced that Lu Changsheng was not a proper cultivator.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he’s staying at the Treasure Pill Pavilion?

Clearly, he has improper intentions towards the little girl.

Inside the alchemy room.

Lu Changsheng, who was refining pills, had no idea what Ling Zixiao was thinking.

“Elder Ye, Master Ling from the Zixiao Array Pavilion said she had an appointment with you and came to see you.”

Li Xingyu called out from outside the alchemy room.

“I’m refining pills right now, Xiaoyu. Let her come in directly.”

Lu Changsheng responded immediately upon hearing this.

“Okay, Elder Ye.”

Shortly after, Li Xingyu brought Ling Zixiao in.

“Zixiao, you’re here.”

Inside the alchemy room, Lu Changsheng looked at Ling Zixiao, who was dressed in an elegant lake-blue dress, and spoke warmly.

“Lu Lang, I have handled my affairs in the past few days, so I am free from now on.”

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng with a gentle smile, her voice sweet and melodious.

“I still need to finish one more batch of pills.”

“In three days, after I finish refining the pills, I will start the healing with you, Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng considered this for a moment and then said.

“Alright, in that case, I won’t disturb you, Lu Lang. I’ll go prepare.”

Ling Zixiao nodded upon hearing this.

“Since you’re here, Zixiao, why rush to leave?”

Lu Changsheng said with a light laugh as he looked at the graceful and elegant beauty before him.

He gently wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Lu Lang, I’m not used to this.”

Ling Zixiao gently leaned into Lu Changsheng’s embrace, her voice soft and tender.

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly at her words.

He thought to himself that Ling Zixiao’s decisive acceptance of him as her partner was likely influenced by his appearance.

This was normal.

Cultivators are also human.

They can’t completely transcend worldly desires.

Just like him, after all these years, his preferences hadn’t changed.

He still liked young and beautiful women.

If the cultivation world didn’t care about appearance, beauty pills, and youth pills wouldn’t have a Market.

Back then, Heaven’s Tears Elder wouldn’t have created the ‘Immortal Grace Technique’.

Lu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred, and the disguise on the Mysterious Pearl in his dantian instantly lifted, revealing its true form.

He then looked warmly at Ling Zixiao and gently lifted her smooth chin.

“Lu Lang.”

Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes sparkled.

She bit her glossy red lips and stood on tiptoe, wrapping her arms around Lu Changsheng’s neck, offering her soft lips.

Lu Changsheng felt a burst of soft fragrance in his mouth.

“Tsk tsk tsk—”

Ling Zixiao was very perceptive.

With the experience from the previous two times, she could now take the initiative.

But when her snow-white body was held, she couldn’t help but moan softly, her breath quickening, making her plump and long legs slightly weak.

She tried to calm her mind and gradually adapt to the feeling.

But as time passed, Ling Zixiao still lost control.

Her dress was messy, her brows and eyes full of shy charm, her body soft like mud, almost hanging on Lu Changsheng, panting heavily.

“It won’t take long for Zixiao to fully adapt.”

Lu Changsheng held the beauty in his arms, feeling her silky smooth skin, and said.

He had to admit, Ling Zixiao’s perception was amazing.

If she were properly trained, she would surely show remarkable talent in this area.

However, he felt his behavior was somewhat self-defeating.

Since coming to Nine Heavens Immortal City, he had been in a state of self-cultivation.

Now, facing Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant Physique, his yang energy was rising, making his lower abdomen slightly hot.

“Humph.”

Ling Zixiao snorted lightly, her beautiful eyes giving Lu Changsheng a sideways glance.

She had thought that after reading some Dual Cultivation books these days and preparing herself mentally, she wouldn’t be as overwhelmed as before.

But under Lu Changsheng’s methods, she still felt weak and powerless.

She was more convinced that Lu Changsheng wasn’t a proper cultivator.

After all, Dual Cultivation Methods talk about yin and yang harmony, understanding the Dao.

Where did all these tricks come from!

Making her, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, feel like an ordinary woman.

Lu Changsheng chuckled, holding Ling Zixiao close, chatting with her to get to know each other better.

When the pills in the alchemy furnace were about to be ready, he let go of Ling Zixiao.

Ling Zixiao tidied up her messy dress and hair before leaving the alchemy room.

When she arrived at the hall, she saw Li Xingruo chatting with Li Xingyu.

“Master Ling.”

Li Xingruo and Li Xingyu immediately greeted Ling Zixiao.

“Miss Li.”

Ling Zixiao smiled gracefully.

She looked at Li Xingruo.

Her skin was as white as jade, her features delicate and elegant, her eyes bright and clear like the new moon.

Between her brows was a clear and determined spirit.

Her appearance was that of a Top-Tier beauty.

Compared to the still-developing Li Xingyu, she was more charming.

Seeing Li Xingruo, Ling Zixiao was more convinced of her suspicion.

Lu Changsheng came to the Treasure Pill Pavilion with intentions towards these two sisters.

But she didn’t say much.

After chatting briefly with the sisters, she left.

Ten days later.

The night was mysterious.

In a cave in Jiuxiao Mountain.

“Zixiao, I’m about to start.”

Lu Changsheng held the soft and sweaty Ling Zixiao, looking into her eyes, and said.

Seven days ago, after finishing refining the pills, he and Ling Zixiao came to the cave area of Jiuxiao Mountain and rented a cave.

After all, healing required a quiet place without disturbances.

Moreover, the cave was not only quiet but also rich in Qi, which helped in the circulation of Qi.

Now, after seven days of preparation, Lu Changsheng was about to use the Dragon Guide Technique to solve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant Physique.

“Lu Lang.”

Ling Zixiao’s face was flushed, and she felt a bit nervous.

After all, the three secret methods were theoretically able to solve her Dragon Chant Physique.

But it was still theoretical.

If it didn’t work, all her efforts would be in vain.

However, she wasn’t too worried.

As the saying goes, the way to a woman’s heart is through…

After these days of blending spirit and flesh, she felt that aside from not being a proper cultivator, Lu Changsheng was good in other aspects.

It was pleasant and comfortable to be with him.

“Dragon Guide Technique!”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much and activated the Dragon Guide Technique.

A ferocious and domineering dragon roared out, full of aggression, entering Ling Zixiao’s body.

“Hmm~”

Instantly, Ling Zixiao’s head tilted back, her hair messy, her body tense, trembling as if electrified.

Then.

She felt a dominant force plundering her body.

Faced with this dominance, her Dragon Chant Physique seemed to be provoked.

The yang energy she usually barely controlled ignited, burning fiercely, exploding, and spreading throughout her body.

“Ah—”

Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes closed, her face flushed with both pain and pleasure, her body turning into a puddle of water.

“Not good!”

Lu Changsheng immediately noticed that his Dragon Guide Technique had disrupted the balance of yin and yang in Ling Zixiao’s body, which she had barely maintained with Natural Treasures.

He raised his hand, and the second-level talisman and pills prepared by the bed flew into his hand.

He used the pills and talisman to suppress the yang energy.

“Seize!”

Lu Changsheng didn’t directly absorb the essence.

At the beginning, he had to stabilize the yin-yang balance in her body before attempting to seize the essence.

“Roar!”

The dragon roared, beginning to devour and plunder the yang energy.

“Ah—”

Faced with the explosion and plundering of the yang energy, Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes closed, singing in a high voice.

Her tense body kept trembling, unable to control herself, her consciousness somewhat unclear.

She could only place all her hopes on Lu Changsheng.

“Is this the Dragon Chant Yang Energy?”

Through the Dragon Guide Technique, Lu Changsheng could feel the strands of yang energy entering his body.

The yang energy he plundered was very thin.

But Lu Changsheng could feel that this yang energy benefited him.

It could nourish his body and blood, even accelerating the flow of Qi in his meridians.

“Dragon Roar Body truly deserves to be one of the top spiritual bodies.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

To use the Dragon Guide Technique to absorb Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Body, he couldn’t help but have some expectations for its innate characteristics.

After all, the Dragon Roar Body was one of the top spiritual bodies.

It was a level higher than his Gengjin Body and Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

Although the Dragon Guide Technique couldn’t fully absorb the Dragon Roar Body, it could still absorb some characteristics, which was greatly beneficial to him.

“Dragon Roar yang energy is like a continuous source of nourishment for my body.”

Lu Changsheng operated the Hundred Refined Body Technique within his body, refining the Dragon Roar yang energy, and used his Qi to operate the Dragon Guide Technique, absorbing the Dragon Roar yang energy from Ling Zixiao.

“Bring the pill.”

After a while of absorbing, Lu Changsheng saw the second-level spiritual pill Ling Zixiao had just taken being consumed.

He thought to himself how domineering this Dragon Roar Body was.

He immediately fed Ling Zixiao another life-saving spiritual pill.

“Mmm—”

The yang energy of the Dragon Roar, the power of the pill, the power of the talisman, and the plundering of the Dragon Guide Technique made her brain go blank and dizzy.

Her beautiful eyes opened and closed in a daze, with mist spreading, her alluring red lips gasping for breath, occasionally making sounds as if crying.

“Boom boom boom—”

Under Lu Changsheng’s absorption, Ling Zixiao’s blood and energy also surged faster and faster, like a river rushing.

As the saying goes, pulling one hair moves the whole body.

The Dragon Roar yang energy of this Dragon Roar Body existed in the human body’s meridians and blood.

As Lu Changsheng plundered the Dragon Roar yang energy through the Dragon Guide Technique, Ling Zixiao’s blood naturally surged wildly.

“It’s really hard to plunder a spiritual body without harming the woman herself!”

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng’s face showed a bit of seriousness.

He had guessed before that solving the Dragon Roar Body with the Dragon Guide Technique wouldn’t be simple.

But he didn’t expect to encounter so many troubles at the beginning.

Not only breaking the yin-yang balance in Ling Zixiao’s body, causing the Dragon Roar yang energy to explode.

Now her blood was surging, making her sweat profusely, her pink, smooth body oozing blood-red.

If this continues, her meridians and blood vessels might be damaged.

“I can only do it bit by bit.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled a turbid breath.

He took out several talismans and used them on Ling Zixiao to suppress her surging blood and energy.

At the same time, he held Ling Zixiao’s fair wrist, his Qi entering her body to protect her meridians as much as possible.

Compared to the surging blood, her meridians and dantian were the biggest problems.

Under the backlash of the Dragon Roar Body and the burning of the Dragon Roar yang energy, her meridians and dantian were already fragile.

A single mistake could lead to problems.

For a cultivator, the meridians and dantian were crucial and couldn’t be damaged.

“Ugh—”

Seeing several forces barely stabilize Ling Zixiao’s condition, Lu Changsheng immediately accelerated the operation of the Dragon Guide Technique.

He made the dragon roar ferociously, madly devouring and plundering the Dragon Roar yang energy from Ling Zixiao, making her make sounds of both pain and pleasure.

Time passed bit by bit.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

“Phew, the Dragon Roar yang energy is barely stabilized.”

Lu Changsheng saw the Dragon Roar yang energy in Ling Zixiao’s body gradually calming down and exhaled a sigh of relief.

If it weren’t for the Xuan Yuan Pearl providing him with endless Qi.

Even with the supplement of pills, he wouldn’t have been able to stabilize Ling Zixiao’s condition with his Qi while absorbing the Dragon Roar yang energy with the Dragon Guide Technique.

At this moment, Ling Zixiao was almost unconscious, turned into a pool of water.

“Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique!”

Lu Changsheng took out a second-level healing talisman, used it on Ling Zixiao, stopped the Dragon Guide Technique, and used the Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique on her.

On one hand, it was to nourish her fragile body and meridians.

On the other hand, it was to see how effective the Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique was on Ling Zixiao.

After all, solving the Dragon Roar Body had just begun.

The real difficulty was in absorbing the essence of the Dragon Roar Body.

Once the essence was absorbed, it would not only harm Ling Zixiao fundamentally, but also bring unknown situations during the process.

“Mmm~”

This essence energy made Ling Zixiao, whose beautiful eyes were tightly closed, body burning, almost unconscious, feel like she drank cool water on a hot summer day, making a long, comfortable hum.

“Lu Lang.”

Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes slightly opened, her gaze confused and helpless.

The process just now made her feel as if she had died.

Like when she broke through to the Foundation Establishment, the Dragon Roar Body exploded, almost killing her.

But now, she could clearly feel that the Dragon Roar yang energy in her body had greatly slowed down.

Proving that Lu Changsheng’s method had some effect.

“Zixiao, rest well first. When your body recovers, we will proceed to the next step.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled a breath and spoke.

Although the Dragon Roar yang energy he absorbed with the Dragon Guide Technique had a considerable nourishing effect on him.

Enhancing his Hundred Refined Body Technique slightly.

But this kind of treatment greatly consumed his Qi, energy, and mental strength.

After all, this treatment method was very demanding on one’s mind.

During the process, one had to concentrate and multitask, without making any mistakes, which was extremely difficult.

If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s experience and many trials and tribulations, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to do it.

“Mmm~”

Ling Zixiao lightly responded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep tiredly.

Lu Changsheng also lay down gently, held Ling Zixiao, and slowly fell asleep.
