Chapter 500: Recorded in History, Missed Peach Blossom Luck!

“Buzz—”

Lu Changsheng gripped the trembling Yin-Yang Sphere tightly in his hand.

Chu Qingyi seemed to hear a mournful cry as she realized that the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly had fallen.

Even though she knew Lu Changsheng’s strength, she was still shocked to see a Heaven-Tier bloodline beast like the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly being killed so easily.

This showed that even a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator could fall instantly if caught off guard by Lu Changsheng’s ambush!

“Let’s go!”

Lu Changsheng signaled the Golden-Winged Roc to stay on guard, then pulled Chu Qingyi toward the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s Cave Dwelling.

A demon king like this surely had a lot of Natural Treasures.

Moreover, there’s a Third-Tier spiritual vein below that they couldn’t afford to miss.

“Cough, cough, cough—”

As soon as they entered the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s cave, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation and Spiritual Energy receded like a tide, and he clutched his chest, coughing forcefully.

“Daoist Lu, are you alright?”

Chu Qingyi asked, concerned.

But then, as if realizing something, her fair and delicate cheeks turned slightly red, spreading all the way to her ears.

Could he be faking again?

But he hadn’t fully recovered earlier and had just used that explosive secret technique.

“I’m fine, it’s just that I hadn’t fully recovered from before, so using the secret technique again put a strain on my body.”

Lu Changsheng gently shook his head.

However, seeing Chu Qingyi’s blushing face, he asked with concern, “Qingyi, what’s wrong? Why is your face so red?”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her blushing, jade-like cheeks.

Soft and smooth, yet burning hot.

“I… I’m fine.”

Chu Qingyi’s cheeks were so red they might drip blood. She cursed herself internally for thinking dirty thoughts.

He hadn’t even said anything, yet she was already thinking about Dual Cultivation to heal him.

“Are you really okay? Did the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly do something to hurt you? Your face seems to be getting hotter.”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask with concern.

“…”

Chu Qingyi’s beautiful eyes showed a mix of shame and annoyance as she realized that Lu Changsheng was teasing her and tried to push him away.

This man was an esteemed Golden Core cultivator; surely he could see what was really going on with her?

However, Lu Changsheng, with his Third-Tier tempered body, was like a dragon, utterly immovable. He merely looked down at her.

Their eyes met, and Chu Qingyi’s heart pounded. Her determined eyes showed traces of fear as if she wanted to avoid and escape.

Lu Changsheng slowly lowered his head, moving closer to her soft, dewy lips.

Chu Qingyi, who could face demonic cultivators and the Tianyuan Demon Corpse with indomitable bravery, felt a bit timid at this moment.

Her right hand gripped her Magical Sword tightly, while her left hand subconsciously held onto her skirt, as she watched Lu Changsheng coming closer and closer.

Their lips met.

Soft and moist, with a slight sweetness—utterly delightful.

What amused Lu Changsheng the most was that despite going through this several times, Chu Qingyi was still tense, shy, and nervous, her body rigid.

The contrast between this and her usual valiant sword fairy demeanor was stark.

But when he saw her gradually closing her eyes, surrendering to him, Lu Changsheng pulled back slightly.

He lightly caressed her cheek with his thumb and smiled, saying, “I’m fine, stop overthinking.”

“Of course, if Qingyi is willing to heal me, I’d be immensely grateful and willing to devote myself to you.”

Lu Changsheng said with a playful smile.

But he wasn’t someone who was constantly thinking about such things.

Previously, when he had coaxed Chu Qingyi, it was simply because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and he wanted to quickly strengthen their bond through some deep ‘exchange.’

Recently, they had been treating each other politely, and there was no need to rely on such methods to deepen the relationship.

If he used that excuse again, it would be unrefined. Alternating between hot and cold was better and made him appear more gentlemanly.

“Who… who is going to heal you?!”

Chu Qingyi turned away, embarrassed and angry, breaking free from Lu Changsheng’s embrace.

She was born with a Sword Heart, her mind detached and transcendent. Ordinary matters rarely affected or disturbed her.

But ever since meeting Lu Changsheng, her Sword Heart had lost its effectiveness, becoming clouded with dust.

Moments like their recent kiss, healing sessions, or their interactions—all were deeply engraved in her heart, creating an everlasting impact.

“No wonder Junior Sister was so influenced by him…”

Chu Qingyi sighed softly, gathering her thoughts as her expression gradually calmed.

“This is the Sun God Stone? Such a large piece!?”

After entering the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s cave, Lu Changsheng spotted a massive boulder as tall as a man and was instantly delighted.

These past years, he’d been collecting materials to forge his innate Magical Treasure, the ‘Yin-Yang Dao Diagram’.

But gathering all the necessary materials had been exceedingly difficult.

With Bihu Mountain’s current capabilities, they couldn’t possibly collect Natural Treasures of this caliber.

So, even after all these years, he hadn’t gathered half the needed materials.

But this Sun God Stone was one of the main ingredients for forging the ‘Yin-Yang Dao Diagram’!

And this Sun God Stone could not only be used to forge the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram.

It could also be used to refine the Yin-Yang Ancient Mirror or temper the Yin-Yang Creation Gourd!

To him, obtaining such a large Sun God Stone made this trip worthwhile!

“Could it be that the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s bloodline mutation was related to this Sun God Stone? Did it somehow obtain the Sun God Essence?”

Lu Changsheng speculated in his heart, wondering if it had once acquired the Level Four material, the Sun God Essence.

Immediately, he and Chu Qingyi searched the Cave Dwelling thoroughly.

But they didn’t find any Sun God Essence, only several Third-Tier materials and spiritual herbs.

That made sense.

If there had been such a material, the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly would have used it to enhance itself long ago.

It wouldn’t have just left it there, waiting for someone like him to come and take it.

“Qingyi, could you watch the entrance for me? I’m going to refine this Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly into ‘Blood Essence Spirit Light’.”

Lu Changsheng suggested to Chu Qingyi.

Waking the Taiyi Soul, the Blood Essence Spirit Light is condensed from the demon king’s essence blood and soul.

And now that the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly has just died, this is the best time to refine the Blood Essence Spirit Light.

If too much time passes, even with the Yin-Yang Grand Capture sealing it, the soul might start to dissipate, and life force might dwindle, diminishing the Blood Essence Spirit Light’s effectiveness.

“Blood Essence Spirit Light?”

Chu Qingyi was surprised.

She hadn’t expected that Lu Changsheng killed the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly just to refine Blood Essence Spirit Light.

She wanted to say that although Blood Essence Spirit Light could help comprehend the demonic beast’s innate Divine Abilities, the probability was less than one in ten—not worth the effort.

It would be better to use the demon soul and essence blood to refine a Magical Treasure, pills, or something else.

But when she thought of Lu Changsheng’s stunning talent and godlike potential, she swallowed her words and nodded, saying, “Alright.”

“Buzz—”

Lu Changsheng raised his hand, and the Yin-Yang Sphere emanated radiant light, releasing the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s corpse.

Although this demon king was dead, a terrifying spiritual pressure still radiated from its body.

“Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame, refine!”

Lu Changsheng’s hand moved, and blazing violent purple-red flames surged forth like a raging dragon, engulfing the corpse of the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

As the Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame began refining, golden divine light and spectral moonlight flowed from the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s dim corpse. A phantom image of the butterfly appeared faintly, roaring at Lu Changsheng, creating a terrifying aura of oppression.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to refine the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly into Blood Essence Spirit Light.

But Lu Changsheng’s soul was stable, and his Spiritual Energy was mighty; he was entirely unaffected.

And so, time slowly passed.

The Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame acted like a divine furnace of thunderfire, emitting golden light as it fused the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s essence blood and demon soul into one.

No one knew how much time passed, but the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly’s body eventually shriveled and darkened.

All its essence blood and demon soul were condensed into a red agate, interwoven with golden light and spectral moonlight.

It glowed brilliantly with vibrant life force, radiating a dazzling, eye-searing brilliance.

“If Qingxuan could obtain these two innate Divine Abilities during the Foundation Establishment stage, then he would be truly invincible among his peers.”

Lu Changsheng grasped the Blood Essence Spirit Light, his expression tired but satisfied.

He had put so much thought into this just so that, in the future, his son could awaken the ‘Taiyi Soul Body’ and soar to the heavens with two innate Divine Abilities!

Although the battle was brief.

Lu Changsheng could tell that these two Divine Abilities were extraordinary.

If it weren’t for the Golden-Winged Roc, he would have struggled to take down this Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly on his own!

Even with Chu Qingyi’s assistance, it wouldn’t have been enough.

“So this is the Blood Essence Spirit Light?”

At that moment, Chu Qingyi, seeing Lu Changsheng’s side calm down, walked over and gazed at the Blood Essence Spirit Light in his hand, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

She knew of Blood Essence Spirit Light, but had never seen it before.

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng handed the Blood Essence Spirit Light to Chu Qingyi, allowing her to examine it closely.

After a few glances, Chu Qingyi returned it to Lu Changsheng.

“Buzz!”

Lu Changsheng took out an exquisite Jade Box from his Storage Ring and placed the Blood Essence Spirit Light inside.

He then added a seal to prevent the spiritual essence from leaking out.

“Qingyi, I just expended a lot of energy refining this Blood Essence Spirit Light and need to recuperate for a few days.”

Lu Changsheng said to Chu Qingyi.

This wasn’t an exaggeration.

Refining the Sun-Moon Twin-Wing Butterfly had been far more difficult than refining the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape.

Moreover, after refining the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape, he quickly recovered by awakening the Taiyi Soul Body.

Chu Qingyi looked at Lu Changsheng, noticing his pale, weary face. After a moment of hesitation, she softly whispered, “Just… to heal?”

Unpredictable dangers could appear in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range at any time.

So she couldn’t just watch Lu Changsheng remain weak and spend too much time recuperating.

“???”

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

Why did she always think of that whenever he brought up something like this?

Did she really believe that was all he ever thought about?

But since Chu Qingyi so rarely took the initiative, Lu Changsheng was more than happy to oblige.

So they engaged in cultivating the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, deepening their bond.

A few days later.

Lu Changsheng had mostly recovered.

Then he began digging deep into the ground to extract the spiritual vein essence.

Even though Chu Qingyi had previously watched him do this, she still couldn’t help being amazed.

How could one person know so many techniques?

What couldn’t he do?

Throughout the entire history of the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, she couldn’t find anyone as brilliant and gifted as Lu Changsheng.

“Perhaps even in the history of the Southern Wilderness cultivation world, no one could compare to him…”

Chu Qingyi’s heart stirred as she watched Lu Changsheng seriously extract the spiritual vein essence, murmuring to herself.

The Southern Wilderness cultivation world was vast, with countless prodigies.

In terms of cultivation speed, perhaps some surpassed Lu Changsheng.

But no one could compare to someone like Lu Changsheng, whose talent, comprehension, and intelligence were all first-rate.

Not only did his cultivation advance rapidly and his foundation solidly exceed his peers, but he also excelled in Talisman Making, pill refinement, spiritual cooking, and Dragon-Seeking, among many other arts.

And Lu Changsheng was born into obscurity!

She believed that in a hundred years, Lu Changsheng’s deeds would be recorded in the history of the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, and even in the history of the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world!

The vast cultivation world would eventually forget even true Golden Core cultivators after centuries.

But those who made it into the history books were truly exceptional!

Half a month later.

Most of the Third-Tier spiritual vein had been extracted.

With past experience, Lu Changsheng didn’t take all of it.

He knew that if he extracted the spiritual vein essence completely, it would leave the spiritual vein barren, affecting the other branches and leading to a collapse that would attract the attention of other demon kings.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi left.

Riding on the Golden-Winged Roc, they shot into the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, heading straight fht for the Jiang Kingdom.

After flying several thousand miles, Lu Changsheng suddenly detected a demonic energy and a surge of Spiritual Energy.

He used his Divine Sense to see an old woman and a woman dressed in white being chased by a Third-Tier ferocious bird.

The old woman was a False Core cultivator, who had used a secret technique that allowed her to reach the early Golden Core stage, but she was still no match for the Third-Tier bird and was barely holding her own.

“Hmph!”

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng let out a cold snort.

The Golden-Winged Roc beneath him released an intimidating Third-Tier true spirit-level pressure.

“Screech!”

The Third-Tier ferocious bird trembled as if facing a terrifying threat and fled in a panic, abandoning its pursuit.

“Thank you, Senior, for saving us!”

“Young woman Ning Xuerou thanks you, Senior, for your rescue!”

The silver-haired old woman and the white-robed woman were both overjoyed and terrified at the same time.

They hadn’t expected someone so powerful would come to their rescue!

Just a mere hint of their presence had scared off the Third-Tier demon king!

But in the next moment, they felt uneasy.

They didn’t know what kind of person this Senior was, or whether he had any ulterior motives for helping them.

But the terrifying aura above them seemed to just be passing through and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Ning Xuerou felt a faint sense of loss for some reason.

She then respectfully bowed toward the clouds above and turned to the old woman beside her, asking with concern, “Grandmother, are you alright?”

“I’m okay.”

The old woman’s face was pale as she took out a delicate porcelain bottle, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them, her face full of relief.

She then sighed, “Today was a stroke of luck. If it weren’t for encountering such a Senior, we would have been in danger. Such a shame we missed out on further contact with him.”

“Just encountering such a person is a blessing—how could we ask for more?”

The young woman, dressed in a snow-white dress, with slender brows and a graceful figure, sighed softly.

At this moment.

On the Golden-Winged Roc, Lu Changsheng, dressed in a black robe, standing tall with a faint starlight swirling around him, stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Qingyi.

Yet, the Peach Blossom Gu in his mind indicated that he had just missed a Peach Blossom Luck.

“Peach Blossom Luck?”

Lu Changsheng immediately realized that the Peach Blossom Gu was referring to the white-clothed woman they had just seen.

That woman was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and was deep in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range with a False Core cultivator, likely with some objective.

If he had intervened further, she might have been so grateful as to offer herself to him.

Given his ability to frighten off the demon king with a single word, she might have even willingly become his concubine or servant.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel like he missed out on anything.

She was just a Foundation Establishment female cultivator.

Even if the Peach Blossom Gu took notice, meaning she was somewhat unusual.

As long as Ancestor Lu was willing to reveal his cultivation, it wouldn’t take long to have countless Foundation Establishment female cultivators lining up to serve him.

Besides, Chu Qingyi was right beside him; it would be improper to chase after another woman.

“Daoist, you are kind.”

Chu Qingyi admired Lu Changsheng’s earlier actions.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t acted, she would have chosen to step in.

There wasn’t any particular reason.

They were all human cultivators, and since they crossed paths and had the ability to help, why not step in?

“It was just a casual move.”

Lu Changsheng gently held her pale hand, and with a smile, they looked like a perfect couple.

To be born human means to do human things.

This was something he had once said to his daughter, Nangong Yaoyao, and he continued to live by that principle.

Achieving a bit of cultivation success doesn’t mean you should look down on others and refuse to help.

Jiang Kingdom.

About ten miles outside Chixia Market.

Several Qi Refining cultivators were walking toward the Market.

Suddenly, they sensed a terrifying surge of Spiritual Energy, their expressions turning pale.

They saw a tall, burly middle-aged man in a dark golden robe riding a one-zhang-tall ferocious tiger with a wide glare.

“Slash! Slash! Slash—”

The tiger sprinted madly, moving so fast it was just a blur, leaving a long trail of turbulent air in its wake.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Behind the tiger, one technique after another flew through the air, endlessly and furiously.

The burly man riding the tiger had to constantly activate talismans and deploy Spirit Tools to fend off the onslaught.

But after a prolonged barrage, his face had turned ashen, and he looked utterly bedraggled. Even the tiger’s fur had started to scorch.

“This is bad, that’s a Foundation Establishment expert!”

“We’re in the Chixia Market territory now. How could anyone dare to fight here?”

“That man looks like Qiao Dayuan, the president of the Spirit Tiger Association!”

“Who is this woman chasing him, forcing President Qiao into such a miserable state?”

These Qi Refining cultivators recognized the man riding the tiger and gasped in shock, quickly getting out of the way to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

“Damn it!”

Qiao Dayuan couldn’t believe that he had been ambushed by Lu Wangshu.

On top of her Talisman Formation, her direct combat ability was also terrifying.

Her Spiritual Energy seemed endless, and her techniques came in an unbroken stream.

But he had already sent a distress signal to his Dao partner for reinforcements.

As long as he got to the Chixia Market, Lu Wangshu wouldn’t dare to continue the fight.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink-white dress, her delicate and radiant face cold as ice, exuded a noble aura.

Her slender jade fingers moved delicately, forming ripples as talismans and techniques screamed toward Qiao Dayuan.

The man was just about to reach the Chixia Market, yet she showed no sense of urgency.

After all, if she killed him outright, it wouldn’t create the intended deterrent effect.

And she wouldn’t be able to lure out his Dao partner, the second-in-command of the Spirit Tiger Association.

It wasn’t long before Qiao Dayuan’s reinforcements arrived.

“Dear!”

A pale yellow Spirit Boat flew over.

Leading the group was a woman in her forties, with dark skin, dressed in a powerful battle outfit, radiating a primal savagery.

Standing behind her were more than ten Qi Refining cultivators, all at least in the Late-Stage of Qi Refining.

“Amei!”

Qiao Dayuan shouted at the woman, signaling to form a battle array to ease the pressure on him and retreat to the Chixia Market.

“Clang!!!”

But just then, a sharp sword hum pierced the air.

Qiao Dayuan suddenly felt a terrifying sharpness envelop him, causing his heart to shudder.

Then, with a rumbling sound, he saw a flash of gold.

His protective spiritual barrier was torn open as if it were made of paper.

A platinum flying sword came out of nowhere and pierced through his chest, sending his body flying off the tiger and crashing onto the ground, where he spat blood.

“Buzz—”

In the distance, Lu Wangshu’s delicate hand rose, revealing a talisman that glowed with a crystalline luster.

The talisman transformed into golden ropes that wrapped around Qiao Dayuan, sealing his Spiritual Energy.

“Dear!”

“President!”

Seeing this, the savage woman and the elite members of the Spirit Tiger Association on the Spirit Boat were shocked. They cried out in disbelief, their faces filled with horror.

Their president, her partner, was so easily subdued!

But in an instant, they realized they had fallen into a trap.

Lu Wangshu had deliberately let Qiao Dayuan flee back, intending to force them out of the Market so she could eliminate them completely.

“Retreat!”

The savage woman immediately pushed the Spirit Boat to its limits, raising a protective barrier and turning back toward the Chixia Market.

“Do you think you can escape?”

A calm voice echoed coldly.

A young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura, holding a crystal-clear Magical Sword, appeared in front of them.
