Chapter 208: Foundation Establishment Approaches, Locking Emotion Heals
by xennovelOutside Qingzhu Mountain.
Three Foundation Establishment auras arrived, breaking through the air.
They wore conical hats, concealing their forms and auras.
“The Lu Family was indeed prepared, activating their clan’s grand formation at full power.”
Yu Ningjun spoke, observing Qingzhu Mountain shrouded in a sky-blue glaze.
“No matter. We only need to interfere for this trip.”
Yu Jinyang said in a deep voice.
As he finished speaking, he arrived above Qingzhu Mountain, in the Foundation Establishment area of Qingzhu Valley, and cast a spell, bombarding the second-level grand formation of Qingzhu Mountain.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanshan and Yu Ningjun immediately joined Yu Jinyang in the attack.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In an instant, the spells of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators landed on the second-level formation, causing a massive commotion.
This assault, while not enough to cause substantial damage to the formation,
would still affect the spiritual energy within Qingzhu Mountain to some extent.
Moreover, those attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment inside Qingzhu Mountain would certainly feel this disturbance, becoming distracted.
“Hmm? What’s happening?”
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone’s attacking our clan’s grand formation!”
“This is bad! It’s Foundation Establishment cultivators! Powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators are attacking our Qingzhu Mountain!”
“Three Foundation Establishment cultivators!?”
“They didn’t come earlier or later, but right at this time. This is clearly targeted at our Lu Family! Who could it be?”
Lu Yuanshan Ding, Lu Miaoge, and other core memmers of the Lu Family were patrolling at various positions.
Hearing this commotion, their expressions changed as they looked outside the formation.
They saw three Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky above Qingzhu Mountain, attacking the Foundation Establishment area.
“Three Foundation Establishment cultivators!?”
Deep in Qingzhu Valley, Lu Yuanzhong, who was protecting Lu Miaofeng, looked through the formation at the three figures outside, his face grim.
“Miaofeng, stay calm! Don’t let this affect you!”
He immediately sent a mental message to Lu Miaofeng in the secret chamber, telling him to focus on breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
At this time, three Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared without warning,
attacking their Qingzhu Mountain’s grand formation without a word,
and targeting the Foundation Establishment area!
It was clear they had come with a purpose – to interfere with Lu Miaofeng’s Foundation Establishment!
Watching the three figures continuously bombarding the formation above Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Yuanzhong had a vague guess about their origin.
But guessing was useless.
Because it was just a guess, without evidence.
He could only have the grand formation operate at full power, stabilize the situation, and hold out until Lu Miaofeng succeeded in Foundation Establishment.
Only when Lu Miaofeng succeeded in Foundation Establishment would their Lu Family have the ability to seek evidence and demand an explanation.
That night.
A crescent moon rose high, with stars scattered across the sky.
On a serene mountaintop shrouded in mist.
“Phew!”
Lu Changsheng exhaled softly, looking at the blood-red, crystal-clear Gu insect in his hand.
After four days, he had finally refined the Locking Emotion Gu.
After refining the Locking Emotion Gu, he could feel a subtle connection between himself and it.
This connection wasn’t as deep as the one he had with the Peach Blossom Gu,
but it gave him a general understanding of this Locking Emotion Gu.
The Locking Emotion Gu could steal a person’s three flowers, transform them into emotional threads, and lock them within oneself!
He looked at Meng Xiaochan.
He could clearly sense an inexplicable connection between himself and Meng Xiaochan.
These were the emotional threads!
The Locking Emotion Gu had placed Meng Xiaochan’s emotional threads onto him, causing her to develop feelings of love and affection for him.
“This Locking Emotion Gu can indeed only lock one or two more people.”
“If too many people are locked, or if their cultivation is too high, it will exceed the Locking Emotion Gu’s limit, rendering it ineffective or even causing the emotional threads to snap.
“This is normal. The Locking Emotion Gu is, after all, only an Earth-level Gu. Having such an effect is already quite astonishing.”
“Moreover, with my Foundation Establishment cultivation, if this Locking Emotion Gu is well-nurtured and restored to its peak second-level state, locking a Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t be a difficult task.”
Lu Changsheng pondered as he looked at the Locking Emotion Gu.
The Locking Emotion Gu could roughly lock cultivators one level higher than himself.
For instance, at his Qi Refining stage, with a first-level Locking Emotion Gu, he could lock Foundation Establishment cultivators.
At the Foundation Establishment stage, with a second-level Locking Emotion Gu, he could lock Golden Core cultivators.
At the Golden Core stage, with a peak third-level Locking Emotion Gu, he could lock Nascent Soul cultivators.
As for a fourth-level Locking Emotion Gu, it would still be at the Nascent Soul level.
This was the limit of the Locking Emotion Gu.
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at Meng Xiaochan, who was using her spiritual power to nurture Nangong Mili’s body.
He said, “Xiaochan, I’ve already refined the Locking Emotion Gu.”
“My dear Lu has already refined the Locking Emotion Gu!?”
Hearing that Lu Changsheng had refined the Locking Emotion Gu so quickly, Meng Xiaochan’s exquisitely beautiful face lit up with joy.
It’s worth noting that it had taken her over a month to refine the Locking Emotion Gu.
Yet Lu Changsheng had done it in just four days.
This speed and efficiency were astounding.
It made her think to herself, “As expected of my beloved, he’s truly extraordinary!”
Such a talented and handsome man – even if her master fell under the Locking Emotion Gu’s influence and developed feelings for Lu Changsheng, it wouldn’t be a loss.
Nearby, Ling Zixiao also looked at Lu Changsheng upon hearing this.
She was surprised that Lu Changsheng had already refined the Locking Emotion Gu.
Although she didn’t know much about Gu techniques,
she was aware that refining a Gu insect was no simple task.
Especially a rare and high-level Gu like the Locking Emotion Gu.
Because Gu insects also had life and instinctive consciousness.
When faced with a cultivator’s refinement, they would instinctively resist.
“It seems Lu Changsheng must have a powerful and domineering Gu insect or Gu treasure in his body.”
“Otherwise, it would be impossible to refine this Locking Emotion Gu so quickly.”
“Pill refining, Talisman Making, Talisman Formations… and now a Gu insect or treasure capable of suppressing an Earth-level Gu. Who exactly is he?”
Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng, with his handsome features and otherworldly aura, too surprised to speak.
Earlier, based on Meng Xiaochan’s situation, she had guessed that Lu Changsheng might have some domineering Gu insect or Gu treasure in his body.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain his situation with Meng Xiaochan.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng refine the Locking Emotion Gu in just four days,
she was almost certain that Lu Changsheng had a domineering Gu insect or some Gu treasure in his body that surpassed Earth-level Gu.
This made Lu Changsheng’s image in her heart increasingly mysterious, grand, and imposing.
At the same time, it made her somewhat… afraid of Lu Changsheng.
On one hand, Lu Changsheng’s performance in recent days had been too astounding.
On the other hand, Lu Changsheng had been treating her too well.
In her view, they were still in a mutually beneficial Dao companion relationship.
She was helping Lu Changsheng guard his clan and set up formations.
Lu Changsheng was helping her solve the issue with her Dragon Chant Physique.
Yet this mysterious and powerful Lu Changsheng was treating her so well.
Like a truly loving husband and Dao companion.
While this touched her heart, it also made her worried and afraid.
She felt that Lu Changsheng’s intentions towards her weren’t as simple as just being Dao companions, setting up formations, and guarding the clan.
If it were just about being Dao companions, setting up formations, and guarding the clan, she currently wasn’t worth such effort from Lu Changsheng.
“Mm, that’s right.”
“I have a Gu insect by my side that can help me refine other Gu insects, so it’s relatively quick.”
Seeing the two women’s surprise and doubt, Lu Changsheng smiled and said.
His ability to refine the Locking Emotion Gu so quickly was, of course, thanks to the Peach Blossom Gu.
Without the Peach Blossom Gu’s imposing presence to suppress it, how could refining an Earth-level Gu be so simple?
“Since my dear Lu has refined the Locking Emotion Gu… we can begin.”
Meng Xiaochan spoke up.
She had originally wanted to say they could now use the Gu on her master.
But halfway through, she felt the words were a bit inappropriate.
Although what she was doing was to save her master,
and someone like Lu Changsheng, such an extraordinary man, would be worth it even if her master fell under the Gu’s influence,
her eagerness to have her beloved use the Gu on her own master made her feel uneasy, feeling she was letting her master down.
“Alright, leave the rest to me.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and looked at Nangong Mili beside them.
At this moment, Nangong Mili was still pale and unconscious.
A black gauze dress wrapped her perfect jade-like body, with skin as smooth as congealed cream and enchanting curves.
Her breasts stood proudly, full and round. Though not exposed, they radiated an allure that sparked imagination.
Her waist was slender, easily spanned by one hand. The disproportionate hips were prominent and round, like a millstone, thick and circular.
Her legs were straight and long. Below the hem of her dress, half of her long, beautiful legs in high heels were visible, snow-white and silky, exuding nobility and sensuality.
Every inch of her body, inside and out, exuded a deadly allure that captivated the soul.
Even though Lu Changsheng was experienced and worldly, facing Nangong Mili and thinking about what was to come made his heart race and his lower abdomen feel warm.
“It seems my cultivation in this area still needs work. I need more practice.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Among his many wives and maids, Nangong Mili might not be the most beautiful.
But she was definitely the most seductive and alluring.
Not just in looks, but in figure and aura!
Her status as a Golden Core cultivator also stirred an indescribable desire to conquer within him!
The tides of fortune can change in an instant!
He remembered when he could only submit to Golden Core cultivators.
Now, he could dominate one!
“Go!”
With a thought, he released the Locking Emotion Gu.
“Whoosh!”
The Locking Emotion Gu flew like a red thread, landing on Nangong Mili’s elegant, swan-like neck.
Then.
“Hiss!”
It hissed and bit into Nangong Mili’s snow-white, graceful neck.
As a Golden Core cultivator, even without body-refining techniques, her physical form was extraordinary.
Yet under the gentle bite of the Locking Emotion Gu, a small red mark appeared on her neck, a tiny wound gleaming with a blood-red light.
Soon, Lu Changsheng could feel a mysterious power falling upon him through the Locking Emotion Gu’s mediation.
It created a strange connection between him and Nangong Mili.
Love thread!
This was the Locking Emotion Gu using Nangong Mili’s essence, energy, and spirit as a guide, transforming into a love thread and locking onto him.
For now, this thread of love was just a starter, very faint.
It was nothing compared to the love thread between him and Meng Xiaochan.
As time passed, the effect of the Locking Emotion Gu would strengthen this thread of love.
Eventually, she would fall completely in love with him, unable to extricate herself.
Ling Zixiao watched this scene quietly from the side.
She was curious if the Locking Emotion Gu could completely lock Nangong Mili’s heart, making her fall hopelessly in love with Lu Changsheng.
If the Locking Emotion Gu could lock the heart of Nangong Mili, a Golden Core cultivator.
It would mean Lu Changsheng had gained another Golden Core dao companion.
Although Nangong Mili was a demonic cultivator, currently hunted by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
As long as she escaped the Heavenly Sword Sect’s pursuit, she could provide great help to Lu Changsheng in the future.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but ponder.
The Locking Emotion Gu could lock at most three people.
Now Lu Changsheng had used it on Meng Xiaochan and Nangong Mili.
If she and Lu Changsheng had a disagreement later, would he use this gu on her?
This thought made her heart flutter.
“This thread of love shouldn’t break free, right?”
Lu Changsheng, unaware of Ling Zixiao’s wild thoughts, quietly felt the love thread between him and Nangong Mili.
He knew it would take a long time for Nangong Mili to develop deep feelings for him like Meng Xiaochan had.
But simply locking Nangong Mili’s heart and making her feel affection for him shouldn’t be difficult.
However, Nangong Mili was a Golden Core cultivator after all.
And the Locking Emotion Gu had been neglected, currently in a weakened state.
So he couldn’t help feeling a bit worried.
“Even if Nangong Mili wakes up, she’s in a weakened state.”
“As long as I’m careful, even if she breaks free from the Locking Emotion Gu, I’m not afraid.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He dared to do this not just because of the Locking Emotion Gu, but also because he had some confidence facing a weakened Nangong Mili.
“Ahem, Xiaochan, go keep watch over there.”
Lu Changsheng prepared to heal Nangong Mili.
Seeing Meng Xiaochan kneeling to the side, he coughed lightly and said.
Although he didn’t mind her presence.
Having her watch from the side still felt a bit strange.
As for Ling Zixiao, he didn’t care.
He considered it a chance for her to get used to this kind of atmosphere in advance.
“Oh, okay.”
Meng Xiaochan heard this and naturally knew what was about to happen.
Her delicate face flushed slightly as she quickly went to keep watch in another spot.
Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng with some surprise.
She thought he would have invited Meng Xiaochan to join.
She went to the center of the formation to preside, fully activating it.
To prevent Nangong Mili’s aura from leaking during this time and being detected by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“Whew!”
Lu Changsheng let out a light breath, raised his hand, and removed the gauze robe covering Nangong Mili.
Then he untied the silk belt at her waist, letting the black dress fall away.
An exquisitely beautiful, incredibly alluring jade-like body was exposed before Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
In an instant, even the clear moonlight of the night seemed to sink and overturn on this enchanting, generation-defining demonic beauty.
Her curves were full and round, smooth and delicate everywhere, with skin like congealed cream, as fragrant and soft as jade, holy yet seductive, breathtakingly beautiful.
Yet she also seemed filled with boundless violence, able to most directly arouse others’ desires, making one’s blood surge.
“Hah—”
Lu Changsheng’s breathing became slightly rapid.
Because the figure before his eyes truly had a devilishly alluring shape, as if from hell itself.
Her pale jade face with tightly closed eyes was exquisitely beautiful, enchanting and moving, seeming pitiable yet filled with boundless, violent desire to possess and ravish her.
He didn’t restrain himself.
Facing his desire directly.
He undid his own clothes and began to heal her.
