Chapter 80: Fairy, Please Control Yourself!

Lu Changsheng used a flying talisman to fly at full speed, reaching a cliff cave several miles away.

He used a purification talisman to check himself, ensuring he left no traces.

After confirming everything was fine, he began to sort through the contents of the two storage bags.

Inside were 362 Spirit Stones.

There were three lower-tier Artifacts and one middle-tier Artifact.

Several pills.

Several spiritual herbs.

Several talismans.

A heap of miscellaneous items.

Lu Changsheng estimated that these items alone were worth six to seven hundred Spirit Stones.

Including the robe, boots, flying sword, shield, curved blade, and flying Artifact he just acquired.

It easily amounted to over a thousand Spirit Stones.

This was truly a fortune.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

This haul was far better than his previous gains at Niutou Mountain.

One can say that there’s a disparity among robbers too.

Being a robber at Jiulong Market is far wealthier than in a mundane place like Niutou Mountain.

Of course, the risk is much greater.

Lu Changsheng took out a high-grade purification talisman to purify and check these things, just to see if there were any issues.

Indeed, under the purification talisman, three items were found with branded marks.

After destroying and discarding these items and some other suspicious things, Lu Changsheng continued on his way, changing locations.

Thinking that running on his own might leave traces and exhaust his spiritual energy and stamina too much.

Lu Changsheng directly used a Hundred Mile Escape Talisman.

Immediately, spiritual light surrounded him, and he disappeared underground as if it were flat ground, shooting out with a thought.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Changsheng appeared dozens of miles away.

“Whew!”

Lu Changsheng surfaced and took a breath of fresh air.

He immediately smelled a stench.

“Gulp!”

Turning his head, he saw a two-to-three-meter-high, five-to-six-meter-long black wild boar with pine-like bristles staring at him, snorting white mist, its tusks sharp and menacing.

“Spirit Beast!”

Seeing the large wild boar, Lu Changsheng immediately realized it wasn’t an ordinary beast but a spirit beast.

“Gulp!”

Before he could take a closer look, the large wild boar growled, its tusks glowing with a dim black light as it charged towards him.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly took out some lower-tier talismans.

The talismans erupted in light, forming a water screen and a protective screen around him.

Then vines and earth prisons appeared, trapping the wild boar, as fireballs, wind blades, and sharp arrows bombarded it.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

“Awooo!”

Under the bombardment of about ten or twenty talismans, the wild boar hadn’t yet reached Lu Changsheng when it howled in pain, its body charred and bleeding, before collapsing.

“This should have been just a first-stage initial beast. I might have been able to kill it by maneuvering with my flying sword.”

“This was really a waste.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, looking at the fallen wild boar.

This handful of talismans cost dozens to nearly a hundred Spirit Stones.

And a spirit beast like this might only sell for about a hundred Spirit Stones.

Moreover, this wild boar was severely damaged, and its value would drop significantly.

“Forget it, there’s no need to skimp on such small things.”

“After all, I only have one life. I’d rather waste than make mistakes!”

Lu Changsheng comforted himself and didn’t feel too distressed.

He took out a flying sword to slightly dissect the large wild boar and stored it in a storage bag.

Even though the storage bag preserves the spirit beast meat, it only lasts about seven or eight days before it goes bad.

Once he returns to Qingzhu Mountain, besides eating himself, he could also feed the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

Over the past two years, he’s mostly fed the Nine Abyss Mastiff with normal meat, occasionally using spirit beast meat.

It’s not affordable to feed it spirit beast meat daily.

If he weren’t afraid of accidents, he’d find a mountain range to release the Nine Abyss Mastiff to roam freely.

Hoping that through battles, it could eventually become a monster king and take him flying.

After cleaning up the surroundings, Lu Changsheng sought a place to settle for the night.

Planning to rest for a day and then leave once the Iron Feather Eagle is back to normal.

He was very cautious to avoid encounters with other spirit beasts.

Finally, at a cave entrance, he encountered a tiger spirit beast.

Lu Changsheng immediately used a handful of talismans to destroy the first-stage initial tiger spirit beast and entered the cave.

Planning to spend the night there.

“Just spending the night, hopefully, nothing else will happen.”

Lu Changsheng lay on a tiger skin rug, feeling slightly tired.

Although talismans didn’t deplete much, using so many did exhaust his mind.

Taking a few sips of White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine, Lu Changsheng pulled out a Spirit Stone to meditate and cultivate.

Night gradually descended.

In this desolate wilderness, the constant roars and howls of wild beasts made the night quite eerie.

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, on a mountain peak.

“Screech!”

A large black eagle with a wingspan several feet wide descended.

On the back of the black eagle stood a burly middle-aged man.

He was dressed in black robes, blending with the night.

He jumped off the eagle, his eyes glowing faintly in the dark, examining his surroundings.

After inspecting everything, Zhou Kuanglong muttered, “It seems I’ve failed. This young man at the fourth layer of Qi Refining actually has such power?”

Then he lightly stepped, agilely leaping back onto the eagle’s back.

Swiftly, the black eagle soared into the night sky.

Before flying far, a dazzling light erupted in the distance.

The light was brilliant, like a rising sun, glaring to the eyes.

“What is that!?”

Zhou Kuanglong looked towards the light.

But with his peak Qi Refining level, he couldn’t see clearly.

As the light dimmed slightly, a rainbow and a black-red tornado intertwined, exploding with thunderous roars.

Boom, boom, boom!

Two beams of light clashed in the sky, causing waves of destruction.

The aftermath fell on the mountains below, shaking and destroying them.

The fierce predators in the forested mountains were terrified, fleeing in all directions.

“This is. Golden Core cultivators fighting!”

Zhou Kuanglong finally glimpsed through the scenes, faintly seeing a woman in colorful dress and an old man in a red robe.

The two clashed, lighting up the night sky with their intense battle.

“I need to escape quickly!”

Seeing the two moving in his direction, he immediately urged his black-winged eagle to flee.

At this time, under the terrifying aura of the battle, his black eagle began to scream in fear.

“Damn, I’ve raised you for so long, and now you’re unreliable.”

Zhou Kuanglong cursed at his trembling pet mount.

But he knew that even though his black-winged eagle had a high-tier bloodline, it was still only at the first stage.

Facing the terrifying aura of Golden Core cultivators, it instinctively felt fear.

He was just as anxious himself.

After all, this was a fight between Golden Core cultivators.

A slight bit of the aftermath hitting him would spell disaster.

He immediately landed the black-winged eagle, planning to hide somewhere, as staying in the air was too conspicuous.

Might get noticed by these Golden Core cultivators and casually swiped away.

In the night sky, the woman in colorful dress wielded a long sword, her strikes stirring winds and waves with immense power.

“Jiejiejie, Yun Wanshang, you can’t escape. You’ve been hit by my Red Luan Karma Fire, surrender!”

The red-robed old man exuded black and red mist, changing to a pink hue, making the sword strikes pass through him harmlessly.

“Huff, huff——”

Pink mist surged around the old man, causing gales and spiritual energy turbulence.

The mist echoed with seductive sounds, impacting one’s mind and stirring desires.

“This is how terrifying a Golden Core cultivator is!”

Zhou Kuanglong landed as an aftermath struck nearby.

The terrifying force jolted his vitality, creating a massive pit on the ground.

He, being at the peak of Refining Qi with some body tempering skills, felt the dangerous aura from just the waves.

He ran quickly, watching the battle to avoid getting hit.

He’d rather not perish here — it would be an unjust death.

After running for a while, he saw in the night sky the woman with the long sword had a floating ancient mirror above her.

The mirror shimmered golden, lighting up the night like a sun, shooting towards the red-robed old man.

With a slash of her sword, a brilliant golden divine ray appeared in the night sky.

“Ah——”

“Yun Wanshang, you’ve mastered the Divine Sword Imperial Thunder True Technique!”

The red-robed old man shrieked, spitting blood at the golden ray.

“Yun Wanshang, the Divine Sword Imperial Thunder True Technique… Is this colorful woman Caiyun Zhenren from Azure Cloud Sect!?”

“Who is this red-robed old man, daring to challenge Caiyun Zhenren in Azure Cloud Sect’s territory!”

Zhou Kuanglong, hiding in the forest, heard the screams and was alarmed.

Suddenly, he saw the red-robed old man summon a small cauldron, from which red flames erupted, raining fire.

Shocked, Zhou Kuanglong quickly grabbed a hammer-shaped Artifact and smashed it into a mountain wall, creating a cave to hide.

He also took a parasol-shaped tool to shield the entrance from the fire rain.

“It’s like gods fighting, making mortals suffer. Zhou Kuanglong, you’re someone important, but in front of Golden Core cultivators, you’re an ant.”

In the cave, Zhou Kuanglong panted heavily.

Gradually, the quaking subsided outside.

Just as he pondered going out, voices reached him from outside.

“Yun Wanshang, you’re now engulfed by the Red Luan Karma Fire. Without my help, you’ll die.”

“If you agree to become my partner and use your Jade Phoenix Marrow Body to heal me, aiding my cultivation, I’d swear a Heart Demon Oath and be loyal to you!”

An old, frail voice resounded.

“Red Luan Old Demon, Hu Yanxiao!?”

Zhou Kuanglong knew the identity of the red-robed elder—the Red Luan Old Demon from Jiang Kingdom.

A roguish cultivator, known for being domineering and unethical, called Red Luan Old Demon.

He never imagined the Old Demon would dare challenge a Golden Core cultivator from Azure Cloud Sect, seeking to partner with her for cultivation.

“Cough, no way!”

A cold, clear voice retorted.

“Without this, the Karma Fire will surge, and we both perish here.”

“The Red Luan True Scripture has a Dual Cultivation secret. Together, we might reach Nascent Soul state!”

The Red Luan Old Demon continued weakly.

“I’d rather die than let you…”

Yun Wanshang’s cold voice interjected, but it was urgent and labored.

“You’re already burning with Red Luan Karma Fire. How long can you suppress it?”

The Old Demon’s voice grew sinister.

“Huff, why don’t you…”

At this moment, Yun Wanshang raised her voice, urging Zhou Kuanglong.

She, the dazzling Caiyun Zhenren, couldn’t hide from a Golden Core cultivator.

“There’s someone else?”

The Old Demon’s voice turned icy.

Zhou Kuanglong emerged, facing the radiant beauty lying on the ground in a colorful flowing dress.

The woman appeared to be in her late twenties, her hair gently tied with a glassy hairpin, her enchanting face glowing like a peach blossom, her beautiful eyes slightly dazed, her rosy lips slightly open.

He’d heard of her reputation, never seeing her in person.

But now he knew the astonishing woman was the Caiyun Zhenren, Yun Wanshang.

Lying nearby was the rugged red-robed old man, presumably the Red Luan Old Demon.

The Old Demon looked miserable, spitting blood, with a gaping sword mark on his chest, faint golden sword energy wreaking havoc, causing his aura to falter.

“I am Yun Wanshang, an elder of Azure Cloud Sect. This Old Demon is the Red Luan Old Demon. Help me eliminate him and Azure Cloud Sect shall reward you.”

Yun Wanshang said to Zhou Kuanglong, her flushed face struggling to speak.

“Kid, don’t listen to her. What benefits can Azure Cloud Sect offer you?”

“I see you’re close to Foundation Establishment, right? Bring her to me, and I’ll make you my disciple, aiding your Foundation Establishment, even helping you form a Golden Core!”

The Red Luan Old Demon quickly intervened.

Hearing their words, Zhou Kuanglong hesitated, glancing between them.

“Boy, I’m willing to swear a Heart Demon Oath. Help me now, and even if you can’t form a True Core, I’ll guarantee you a Fake Core!”

The Red Luan Old Demon tempted.

“Is the elder serious?”

Zhou Kuanglong stiffened, his heart racing.

He took the path of a rogue cultivator, aiming to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Golden Core was an unattainable dream for him.

Hearing the promise of a Fake Core made him immensely tempted.

After all, Azure Cloud Sect wasn’t in his league.

If Azure Cloud Sect found out about his actions, they’d punish him or offer no gains.

“Huff, how can you trust such deceit?”

Yun Wanshang saw him leaning towards the Old Demon, appearing flustered and worried.

“I’ve never sworn in my life. If you doubt, cough… I, Hu Yanxiao, swear today…”

The Old Demon coughed, weakly raising his hand to swear.

To cultivators, a Heart Demon Oath was binding, especially at higher cultivation levels.

Seeing him swear, Zhou Kuanglong knelt before the Old Demon, “Disciple Zhou Kuanglong greets Master!”

“Good, good, my dear disciple.”

“Quickly, bring your Mistress over. She’s entangled in my Red Luan Karma Fire, her desires overwhelming her. My spiritual energy can ignite it instantly.”

The Red Luan Old Demon grinned.

“Yes, Master!”

Zhou Kuanglong bowed slightly, approaching Yun Wanshang.

Seeing him, Yun Wanshang’s eyes showed determination.

With her special physique and cultivation technique, given time, she could suppress the Red Luan Karma Fire.

But unfortunately, a nearby cultivator chose to help the Old Demon.

Sighing at her fate, she summoned a fist-sized purple orb from her storage bag.

“Huff!”

The orb erupted with radiant light, scorching Zhou Kuanglong and the Old Demon to ashes.

Yun Wanshang’s eyes lost their clarity, her body heating up, her white jade-like skin turning pink.

Sensing something instinctively, she transformed into a divine light beam, shooting out.

At the same time.

Not far, in a cave.

“Wow, finally quiet. What level of battle was that? Astonishing!”

Lu Changsheng noticed the calm outside, exhaling deeply, calming his nerves.

Anyone training at night would panic when mountains quaked and battles raged.

“Sigh, tomorrow morning, once the Iron Feather Eagle recovers, I’ll return early. Better not go here and there, maybe bring Miaoyun and Zhenzhen to Jiulong Market.”

“Too risky to run around often.”

Lu Changsheng thought, preferring not to venture out.

The outside world was perilous.

Suddenly, a scent wafted.

A beautiful woman in colorful clothes appeared before him.

“Hmm!?”

Surprised, Lu Changsheng stared at the gorgeous woman.

He hadn’t noticed her arrival.

It was Yun Wanshang.

Her face was rosy, her eyes seductive, filled with desire. She lunged at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was pinned, unable to move. He struggled but couldn’t break free.

He felt her burning body.

Like a fire, either poisoned or cultivation deviation.

“Fairy, Fairy, please control yourself.”

Lu Changsheng called out, but she was unresponsive.

Instead, she pinned him, her red lips seeking his.

Who could resist?

Faced with this fairy’s breathtaking beauty and mature softness, fragrant aroma, Lu Changsheng sighed.

Unable to resist, one should enjoy.

He lay sprawled, accepting it.

Sounds emerged in the cave for a time, a robe was tossed out.

Later, more clothes followed, including her intimate garments.
