What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

"I want to go home and get something."

Song Shi looked at Elder Yuan.

"Young Master, do hurry."

Elder Yuan treated Song Shi as someone of the same level as her and was very courteous.

!!

"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Song Shi asked Liu Ruxue and the others to stay behind. He turned into a Phantom image and disappeared from the street, returning to the Song residence.

In only a month's time, the Song Mansion looked much more dilapidated than before. The ground was covered in dust and spiderwebs. A few rats were sniffing around in the corner, looking for food.

After all the Song Mansion had encountered a terrible disaster and no one dared to come here. Fallen leaves fluttered in the vast space and a cold wind blew. It was a little terrifying.

"If it weren't for the chaos in the world, it wouldn't be bad to just be a profligate son here."

Song Shi muttered and walked to the ancient well where he had cultivated before with a nostalgic expression. This place was filled with well water again.

"This is it!"

Song Shi opened the system and set up the alternative resurrection point in the well water. He grinned strangely.

If he really wanted to come back in the future, he could directly choose this resurrection point when he died and return to his hometown.

"From today onwards, I'm going to have so much fun!"

Song Shi put his hands behind his back and hummed, "I'm gonna have a lot of fun…"

He turned around and went to his room to get a few sets of clothes. Then, he strode out of the Song residence.

"Breeze Sword Control Technique!"

Song Shi formed a hand seal and a flying sword appeared from his storage bag. It landed at Song Shi's feet and carried him up. Flames flickered as he flew into the sky with a whoosh.

"Damn, so fast!"

The sudden acceleration caused Song Shi to fall. Fortunately, he grabbed the flying sword and continued going forward in the air.

He hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, he was still in the Song Mansion and no one saw his embarrassing moment.

"Damn it, I forgot that I've reached the Foundation Establishment realm. My strength is much stronger than before."

Song Shi cursed as he adjusted his stance. Soon, he returned to his leisurely state. The wind and fire under his feet danced like a red meteor streaking across the sky.

He roughly estimated his flying height. He would only reach his limit when he reached about 1,000 feet. However, the limited height was not because his cultivation level was insufficient, but because his Dharma artifacts seemed to have reached their limit.

As for its flying speed, it could roughly reach 100 kilometers per hour. It was similar to the slow metro in his previous life.

But to reach that speed, the metro had to burn alot of oil, whereas he could actually do it by himself and a Dharma artifact only.

"This is way more powerful than science."

Song Shi looked at the flying sword and began to study its principles.

He felt that there would definitely be many unexplainable surprises if he studied cultivation from a scientific perspective.

Given his basic foundation of Array Formation, since Runes and Taboo Powers on Dharma artifacts were also a part of Array Formations. Song Shi could still see certain things that could explain how Dharma artifacts work.

"So this is a kind of soaring rune… The knowledge given by the system is quite awesome and exciting since I've never read books related to Array Formations."

Song Shi felt that the Array Formation runes contained the ultimate mystery of the cultivation world. Even he could not really understand it.

He retracted his gaze and sped up to return.

In a quiet alley near the city gate, Big Smart was exchanging flirtatious glances with Mei Niang when he suddenly heard the sound of air being torn apart. He looked up and could not help but jump up and shout.

"Young Master, over here."

"I saw you."

The flames stopped, revealing Song Shi, who was dressed in a long robe.

"Young Master, you can fly on a sword now. How cool!"

Big Smart looked envious. Flying on a sword was also his dream.

"I'll give you a flying sword too. Go play by yourself."

Song Shi took out a storage bag and threw it to Big Smart. His generous appearance made Mei Niang laugh secretly. "Young Master, you're so generous after becoming a cultivator. Old Liu is really lucky to be with you."

Big Smart checked and realized that other than the flying sword, there were many other things. They were the assets of a cultivator. He clicked his tongue and said, "Young Master, you are give them all to me?"

"What do you think?"

Song Shi said to Liu Ruxue and the others who were waiting for him, "I have nothing else to do. Let's go."

"Young Master Song, you sound like you're going back to your own home. Looks like you're really fated with the Yao Moon Palace."

Elder Yuan admired Song Shi very much. Unknowingly, Song Shi had taken the lead of this team.

"It's mainly because I'm homeless now. I'm looking for a place to stay.

Song Shi made a hand seal and the flying sword started to shine brightly. He looked at Liu Ruxue and said, "I'll bring her along. Elder Yuan, you can take one less person with you. That way you can fly for a while longer."

Flying on Dharma artifacts required a large amount of cultivation. Therefore, one usually had to be at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement realm, but even then they could not fly far.

It was roughly like how a car wouldn't run after using up all the gasoline, and the time taken for a cultivator to recover was much slower than the time taken for a car to refuel.

For more than a thousand miles. If the driver did not rest and kept driving, it would take ten hours. If he rested two or three times, it would take about twenty hours to reach.

As for cultivators, since their restoration time was slower than a car. Even if Elder Yuan was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and was comparable to a small car, it would still take two days for her to bring four more people along.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan nodded, "Since you're already at the Foundation Establishment realm, you can bring someone along. It's a good opportunity to train your Essence Energy recovery speed as well."

"Young Master, I want to ride the flying sword too."

...

Big Smart said eagerly.

"Piss off!"

Song Shi had yet to learn how to use a flying sword to carry people. Now, he could only carry Liu Ruxue. It was impossible for him to carry a burly man.

"Okay."

Big Smart jumped onto Elder Yuan's blanket Dharma artifact.

"Young Master Song is gifted and the martial arts he cultivates are very explosive. However, long-distance flight tests one's Endurance and Essence Energy recovery speed. Remember to control your consumption."

Elder Yuan reminded.

"It's fine. I'll think about it when I reach that stage."

Song Shi was not in the mood to conserve his primeval essence.

Although his cultivation level was seven times that of a Normal cultivator, his Essence Energy was not very dense yet. However he had just broken through, so how could he not seek to experience how flying fast feels like?

"Xue'er, get on."

...

Song Shi stretched out his hand and chuckled.

Flying swords were equivalent to cars in his previous life. Now, he also had a 'car'.

Liu Ruxue smiled, stepped on the ground and took the initiative to leap into Song Shi's arms.

With the soft body in his arms and a delicate fragrance wafting into his nose, Song Shi's blood boiled. He really wanted to fool around with her there and then.

He formed an incantation gesture and activated the flying sword. With a piercing sound, the flying sword quickly soared into the sky.

"Aiya, slow down."

Liu Ruxue hugged Song Shi tightly in fear and rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't you like me to be quick?"

Song Shi smirked.

"Scoundrel, aren't you afraid of falling to your death? There are many cultivators who are not proficient in flying on swords."

Liu Ruxue chided him.

"Don't worry, I'm very stable."

Song Shi smiled confidently. As someone who had fallen once, he had already passed the novice stage.

He used his Essence Energy to block the gusts of wind. Under the rapid acceleration, he directly reached the speed limit of the flying sword.

Cruising in the air outside the city, Song Shi stopped and turned to look at the slow but very comfortable blanket Dharma treasure cruising along him. His gaze landed on the Jin river and the Yuan River.

Both rivers were like a long snake and dragon that were galloping and converging in the distance. There was an island in the middle of the lake.

There was a temple on the island and the sound of a bell chime could be heard.

He glanced at Silken City, which had an additional layer of dilapidated aura from the past. Although his hometown was in trouble, it was still his hometown. He was still a little reluctant to leave so suddenly.

Song Shi sighed, "I hope I can meet interesting people and encounter interesting things on this trip."

"You want to meet someone interesting?"

Liu Ruxue was a little jealous, "There are many beauties in the Yao Moon Palace. Don't neglect me when the time comes."

"How can that be? You're my first Dao companion. No matter what kind of women there are, they'll be ranked behind you."

Song Shi patted his chest and laughed as he flew around the blanket Dharma artifacts. He felt extremely heroic. He felt that he was the most awesome person in the world.

…

112 Crescent Moon Peak

Two days later.

On a snowy mountain, Song Shi carried Liu Ruxue and walked on the snow.

They looked as light as a feather, but because his Essence Energy was extremely strong, every step he took would melt the ice and snow on the ground. In the end, there were still marks on the snow.

"How cooling. This is a good place to cultivate."

Song Shi let out a breath of hot air. Curious, he could sense the dense Ice Spiritual Qi in the air from the surrounding snow mountains.

"It's beautiful."

Liu Ruxue picked up a handful of snow and placed it in front of her nose. She sniffed it and revealed a peaceful expression.

Ever since she came to the world of ice and snow, she had felt peaceful and especially comfortable.

"Young Master, you cultivate the power of masculine Yang. Logically speaking, you should feel uncomfortable coming here, right?"

Big Smart followed behind, panting.

"I am Yang in nature, but I also need the power of the Yin to balance it. Do you understand the Yin and Yang Balance?"

With his hands behind his back, Song Shi's gaze suddenly landed in the distance. A strange mountain peak that looked like a crescent moon sat at the end of the road.

They were already above the mountain range. The crescent-shaped mountain peak was nearly a thousand meters above the mountain range. It looked beautiful and tall.

The mountain emitted a faint luster, and some buildings could be seen. The nearby Void was slightly distorted, and it was obvious that there was a powerful Array Formation protecting it.

"We still have to climb for a long time to reach…"

Song Shi was helpless. Ever since he entered the mountainous area and reached a certain altitude, he could no longer use his flying sword.

This was still the problem with the Dharma artifacts. The flying height of the Dharma artifact was limited.

As for his trash flying sword, it could only fly about one thousand feet high. No matter how high the altitude was, it could not fly.

Therefore, they had walked up the mountain just now. Elder Yuan's blanket Dharma artifact could not fly after reaching an altitude of three thousand feet.

He estimated that the other party's Dharma artifact was a mid-grade Dharma artifact. High-grade Dharma artifacts should still be able to fly at their current height. At most, they would only not be able to fly to the crescent-shaped mountain.

"Don't be anxious. Young Master doesn't know that after approaching the Yao Moon Palace, flying if you are below the Golden Core Realm is prohibited. We only need to walk another hundred miles at most…"

Just as Elder Yuan said this, she realized that Song Shi had taken out a palm-sized white boat. Cloud patterns were engraved on it and the aura it emitted made her pupils constrict.

"High-grade flying Dharma artifact?"

She looked stunned.

"Yeah."

Song Shi threw the small white boat. The latter shone brightly and expanded in the snow. It quickly transformed into a thirty-foot-long, normal-sized flying boat that floated in the air.

Based on this characteristic alone, it could be determined that the level of this flying ship exceeded mid-grade Dharma artifacts.

This was the Cloudbreaker, which he had obtained from the system's lottery draw. It was his first time using it.

"Looks good."

Song Shi was very satisfied. The boat was exquisitely made and engraved with cloud patterns. It looked very beautiful and immediately attracted Liu Ruxue's attention.

"Young Master, is this yours?"

Liu Ruxue touched the flying boat curiously. She was knowledgeable and knew that this flying boat was extraordinary.

Elder Yuan looked at Song Shi in a daze. "Aren't you a secret cultivator? These Dharma artifacts are very expensive. They are several times more expensive than Dharma artifacts of the same grade."

"Yes, yes. I once attended an auction with the elders of my family. This kind of flying ship costs more than ten thousand spirit stones."

Liu Ruxue nodded and stared at Song Shi with her beautiful eyes, "Young Master, you're so rich. Which senior gave it to you?"

She could not help but think of the martial arts cultivation technique that Song Shi cultivated. It definitely involved a powerful senior.

"Yeah."

Song Shi nodded, "There are some things that I can't say. All you need to know is that the item is mine. Just sit in peace."

He raised his hand and shot out a stream of Essence Energy to activate the Cloudbreaker. Instantly, there was a buzzing sound and a gentle white light scattered out as the flying ship approached them.

Song Shi carried Liu Ruxue and jumped onto the flying boat. Elder Yuan did not stand on ceremony and followed closely behind with Big Smart and Mei Niang.

In the next moment, white light shone brightly. The flying ship quickly moved and rushed into the sky. It flew towards the mountain gate at a very fast speed.

"Eh? Why do I feel that this flying ship is not restricted at all?"

Song Shi was surprised and asked, "Elder Yuan, how do we calculate the height limit for flying Dharma artifacts?"

"How many soaring runes are engraved on this observation device? The more there are, the higher the flying limit. If it forms an Array Formation, it will be no problem to soar one hundred thousand feet into the sky."

Elder Yuan sized up the Cloudbreaker, "It shouldn't be a problem for your flying ship to reach a height of ten thousand feet. However, the higher you fly, the more Essence Energy and cultivation you will need to consume. You have to be mentally prepared."

"I see. I was just curious about what determines the height of flight."

Song Shi came to a realization and continued to inject power into the Cloudbreaker. With a swoosh, the flying ship turned into a ray of light and passed through the clouds in the sky. Its speed was ten times faster than flying on a sword. Before long, it arrived at the foot of the crescent mountain.

"Before you go any further, stop. Don't get too close. There's an Array Formation protecting the mountain peak. You'll bump into the Array Formation barrier and even attract an Array Formation attack."

Elder Yuan reminded.

"Okay."

Song Shi stopped in time and sized up the strange-looking mountain peak curiously. He did not feel like it was naturally formed.

"This is the outer sect of the Yao Moon Palace, Crescent Moon Peak. It has the same name as the first realm in our Yao Moon Palace's Foundation Establishment cultivation technique."

Elder Yuan introduced with a smile and looked at Liu Ruxue, "You should be more familiar with this place."

"Yes. Back then, we stayed here for half a year. After successfully reaching the Beginner stage of the Moon Invitation Technique, we were then arranged to train in various places."

...

Liu Ruxue smiled and glanced at Song Shi, "I didn't expect to return so soon when I left."

"Wait, such a huge mountain is only the outer sect?"

The more Song Shi looked at it, the more shocked he became. Although the mountain peak was like a slanted crescent moon and was a little thin, it was still very large.

"Young Master Song, do you think our Yao Moon Palace is very small?"

Elder Yuan could not help but laugh, "As one of the nine special sects of Great Qian, we occupy a hundred miles of land near the Heavenly Moon Mountain Range. This was when Great Qian ruled the cultivation world. Now that the world is in chaos, if we wish to, it will be easy for us to expand our territory by ten times."

Song Shi was deep in thought. He had learned about the sect's classification from the ancient books. There were ordinary first, second, and third grades, as well as special grades that exceeded first grades.

If he entered the Yao Moon Palace, would it be equivalent to entering the top academy in his previous life?

"Young Master, the Yao Moon Palace is very big. What we see now is only a small portion. We don't have the right to see the rest yet."

Liu Ruxue reminded him softly, "Young Master, don't react like this next time. You'll be laughed at if others hear you."

Song Shi's face twitched. He seemed a little like… a country bumpkin?

At this moment, a gentle male voice sounded, "Elder Yuan, you're back so soon? Looks like everything went smoothly."

...

Song Shi looked in the direction of the voice. Amidst the fluctuations in the air, a door formed and a pretty boy walked out.

113 I Only Want to Give this Woman a Home

The man was wearing a green felt hat and looked like a young master. He looked even more beautiful than ordinary women.

However, this person's face was too gentle and did not have any masculinity to him. Furthermore, he seemed to have applied makeup and oiled his hair. It did not match Song Shi's aesthetic standards for men…

Song Shi took a look and retracted his gaze. His attention passed through the silver door and he realized that there was another world inside.

It was completely different from the world of ice and snow outside. There was green grass and many flowers.

!!

"Young Master Ximen, this is the new outer sect disciple that Master values, Liu Ruxue."

"What about him?"

Song Shi realized that he was being stared at and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Liu Ruxue's Dao companion, Song Shi."

"Are you crazy that you want to be a Dao companion of a Qi Refinement cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm? Or do you have ulterior motives?"

Ximen Le's voice was cold and questioning, causing Liu Ruxue's expression to change.

"When I was with Xue'er, I was still at Qi Refinement."

Song Shi said calmly. He vaguely felt that this pretty boy was a little hostile. Could it be that he had his eyes on his woman?

"Oh."

Ximen Le said meaningfully, "Is there really such a good thing?"

"Senior, that's indeed the case."

Liu Ruxue explained.

"Young Master Ximen, I'm preparing to bring him in as an outer sect disciple's Dao companion. Please help me register."

Elder Yuan said.

"Alright, come in. Tell me your hometown and age."

"Silken City, 18 years old."

Song Shi calmly explained his situation.

Ximen Le's expression changed as he sized up Song Shi, "You're only 18?"

"You can count me as nineteen if you want." Song Shi sensed that this fellow's hostility was a little obvious.

"Elder Yuan, are you sure there's nothing wrong with him? Which Foundation Establishment Cultivator at such a young age isn't a genius of a sect? How could an outer sect disciple who's training be so lucky to encounter him and even snare him as a Dao companion?"

Ximen Le's suspicious look made Elder Yuan frown, "Young Master Ximen, the world is in chaos now. Many once hidden pearls are blooming1. You should know about this.

"For example, not long ago, he awakened a Connate Spirit Body in the Imperial City. He reached the Foundation Establishment realm in just two months and that person is only a descendant of a mortal family."

"Then what's so special about him? Why can he be at the Foundation Establishment realm at such a young age?"

Ximen Le wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

"It should be because he has a Connate Dharma Body. It should be easier for such people to reach the Foundation Establishment realm, right?"

Elder Yuan voiced her guess. Song Shi was only at the tenth level of Qi Refinement before he reached Foundation Establishment. It was impossible for him to have time to cultivate a Dharma Body. However, the Dharma Body that was revealed during Foundation Establishment was at the Connate realm.

"Connate Dharma Body? Not a bad talent. To cultivate it before the Golden Core realm will ensure that your journey ahead will be quite smooth."

A hint of jealousy flashed across Ximen Le's face. He didn't say anything else and took out a jade token.

He made a hand seal and wrote something in the air. Then, he threw a wooden token to Song Shi.

"This is a temporary identity token. Don't walk around casually after you enter. If anything happens, you'll have to bear the consequences."

He said coldly and made way for Song Shi to enter.

It was different from what he had imagined, where there were beauties were everywhere. After entering, it looked a little deserted. Occasionally, he would see someone, but they looked hurried and seemed to be very busy.

On the other hand, the flowers and plants along the way were very exquisite. The architectural style was beautiful and elegant and was arranged neatly as well.

"This year's outer sect disciples are still training outside. The other disciples are also cultivating. If there's nothing important, they usually won't come out."

Liu Ruxue saw that Song Shi was a little surprised and told him the reason.

At this moment, the jade pendant in Ximen Le's hand flashed. He received the message and turned around. "Liu Ruxue, come with me to see Master."

At this point, he said reluctantly to Song Shi, "You go too."

"That was quick."

Song Shi had thought that he would have to wait for a few days. Why did he have to meet the Master as soon as he arrived? He was not even mentally prepared.

At the same time, he was surprised that Ximen Le was the disciple of Zi Yue. In the future, since he would be in the same sect as Liu Ruxue he felt that Ximen Le was a petty man.

"Congratulations, Xue'er, Song Shi. You were received by Master the moment you arrived. It's obvious that Master cares a lot about you. You have to perform well later."

Elder Yuan congratulated them from the side.

Liu Ruxue became a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed Song Shi's hand.

"What background does your master have? Explain it to me."

Song Shi asked.

"She's a Golden Core cultivator and an inner sect elder. She's one of the most promising people in the Yao Moon Palace to form the Nascent Soul."

Liu Ruxue was envious. "Because of this, Master is one of the core members of the sect. Her status is extremely respected."

"Oh."

Song Shi nodded and followed Ximen Le to the back of the mountain. In a square, circular Array Formations of different colors were engraved.

Ximen Le didn't say anything along the way. He led them to a circular Array Formation and chanted an incantation. The Array Formation lit up brightly, and the surrounding space distorted.

Song Shi only felt dazed for a moment before he appeared in a palace. Only then did he react.

...

That should have been a short-distance teleportation formation just now. It was really magical.

"Follow me."

Ximen Le led them deeper into the palace. After passing a few doors, they suddenly stopped.

"Wait here."

Song Shi was left behind while Liu Ruxue was brought to a bedroom. Soon, she walked out with a smile.

"Young Master, I've already officially acknowledged my master. However, Master wants to test you before deciding whether to let you enter the Yao Moon Palace. You have to work hard."

Liu Ruxue waved her small fists and told him what Song Shi had to do next.

"I'll do my best."

Song Shi was not too confident.

"Song Shi, come here."

Ximen Le's voice sounded.

...

Song Shi took a deep breath and walked over. He was quite curious about what Fairy Zi Yue looked like.

He was brought to a deserted inner hall. In front of him was a flight of stairs that was covered by a layer of purple gauze. Behind him was a jade bed on which a graceful figure could be vaguely seen lying.

Song Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances at this indistinct mysterious beauty. In the end, Ximen Le snorted coldly. "Keep your eyes in place. Don't think that you can look around just because you're outside!"

"A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman[2.'A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman' is a Chinese saying to describe how men can't help but admire and want to pursue beautiful women]. I'm just admiring her."

Song Shi corrected him and bowed to the graceful figure, "Greetings, senior."

"You're so young, but you're already so glib-tongued. How many women do you want to harm by coming to the Yao Moon Palace?"

Zi Yue spoke. Her voice was as pleasant as a fairy's voice and it carried a different kind of Charm that made people want to listen to it forever.

"I don't seek to harm these women. I just want to give a home to the woman I like."

Song Shi replied shamelessly. He was not afraid of Golden Core cultivators. After all, he had already interacted with them quite a bit.

"How dare you! Do you know what you're talking about?"

Ximen Le berated, he felt that Song Shi was teasing Fairy Zi Yue.

"Le'er, you go down first."

Fairy Zi Yue was not angry, instead, she asked Ximen Le to leave. This pretty boy looked at Song Shi coldly, his hostility was obvious.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's head? Why is he hostile to me?"

Song Shi was puzzled. He had never had a conflict with this fellow before. This was definitely their first meeting.

114 I'm Willing to Die For Her

"You're wondering why he's hostile to you."

Zi Yue's Divine sense could tell at a glance that Song Shi was puzzled.

"Yes, I'm wondering if I'm too handsome and suave that I make people jealous."

Song Shi was wary of this woman. Her observation was too detailed, making it difficult for him to hide his thoughts.

!!

"I've met confident people before, but they're still a little lacking compared to you."

Zi Yue looked at Song Shi with interest. "Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

The bewitching voice spread. Song Shi was a little confused. What did she mean?

"I'm just an outsider. How can I acknowledge senior as my master?"

"If you're willing, it's naturally possible."

"No."

When Song Shi heard this, he felt that something was wrong and rejected without hesitation.

"Give me a reason."

There was a hint of playfulness in Zi Yue's eyes, "Do you know that you rejected an opportunity to have to work a few decades less?"

"I know, but the nature of our cultivation techniques doesn't match."

Song Shi did not believe that there was anything such as a free lunch in the world, unless it was something given to him by the system.

"Not bad. You are someone who have their own way of thinking instead of just following the flow."

Zi Yue sat up. Her graceful figure was one that could make any mens' imagination run wild. Her eyes lit up, "You've passed the first test. Now, it's an official test."

"Official test…"

Song Shi was shocked and realized that something was wrong.

Swoosh!

Two pairs of purple light pillars suddenly shot out from Zi Yue's eyes and landed into Song Shi's eyes, causing his eyes to stop focusing and become dull.

Zi Yue trapped Song Shi's will, and her voice became serious. She asked, "Your name is Song Shi?"

"Yes."

"When did you start cultivating?"

"Two months ago."

Song Shi did not say too much. He was worried that Zi Yue would find out his secret.

Zi Yue frowned when she heard that. How was it possible for him to reach Foundation Establishment in two months? Even having a Connate Dharma Body shouldn't be like this, right?

"Liu Ruxue only gave you the cultivation manual a month ago. Why did you start cultivating two months ago?"

"Practicing martial arts."

Zi Yue seemed to be deep in thought. She did not ask further to avoid provoking Song Shi. Instead, she changed the topic. "Did anyone ask you to join the Yao Moon Palace?"

"Liu Ruxue asked me to join."

"Who else?"

"Elder Yuan."

"Who else besides the two of them?"

"That's all."

Zi Yue paused and stared at Song Shi seriously. She was sure that this kid was completely hypnotized and did not lie to her.

Song Shi answered in a daze, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

However in reality, Song Shi's Spiritual strength was much more powerful. The Grand Moon Visualization Method allowed him to remain conscious deep in his consciousness, even though he could not wake up. The state he was in now was as if he was lucid dreaming.

In the dream, another him was standing in the palace, answering questions with a blank expression.

However, he stood at the side. He could not control his body and could only control his speech. At this moment, he was very afraid and thought, "This woman actually knows tricks like the Bewitching Technique and wants to get information from me."

Zi Yue's gaze changed, and there was an inexplicable look in her eyes. She smiled and said, "How did you meet her?"

"She was the new top hostess of New Moon Brothel at that time. I spent a lot of money to hire her."

"Other than her, what other woman do you have?"

"No one."

"Do you like her?"

"I do."

"How much do you like her?"

"I don't know how to answer that, but I'm willing to die for her."

Zi Yue's pupils constricted as she looked at Song Shi in a daze. The person trapped by her, Zi Yue's illusion was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

This man would actually die for a woman. He was really a rare one in the cultivation world.

She asked curiously, "Then why are you willing to die for her?"

"She's my woman. It's only right for me to die for her. Moreover, she helped me a lot and even gave me cultivation techniques. There's no way to repay her."

Zi Yue's gaze became more colorful. She did not expect this secular young master to be so loyal. This was rare in the cultivation world.

"Young people… are really naive."

...

She chuckled. "I heard that you joined the Demon Slayers Division?"

"I was a Temporary helper for a few days."

"Just a Temporary helper?"

"Yes,although I haven't had the time to get any information from them yet."

Song Shi was still brooding over it.

Zi Yue sneered. "Those guys loves to find Temporary helpers. So they don't have to pay up when they die."

She asked curiously, "What did you obtain in the Demon Slayers Division?"

"It's just a low-level spell. They didn't give me anything else. It's a loss."

"You seem to have a problem with that."

"Well, I think they're using me as they wish."

Hearing that Song Shi did not have a deep relationship with the Demon Slayers Division, Zi Yue asked again, "Where did your martial arts cultivation technique come from?"

...

Song Shi's heart skipped a beat. He had really asked for trouble this time.

He said, "A senior gave it to me."

Zi Yue narrowed her eyes and raised her voice. "What's their name?"

"I don't know. He suddenly appeared two months ago and gave me a cultivation technique. He said that if I cultivate the cultivation technique to perfection, I would have a chance to see him again."

Song Shi had no choice but to make up a lie. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain the origins of the cultivation technique.

Zi Yue stared at Song Shi and fell silent.

Song Shi was nervous. Could it be that she realized that he was not completely under her spell?

A moment later, Zi Yue suddenly asked, "Do you like me?"

Song Shi wanted to curse in his heart. It was one thing for this woman to hypnotize him to ask for information, but she actually had to ask this question.

He could only say in a daze, "I don't know. I like beautiful women, but I've never seen you before, so I can't be sure."

"Are you a philanderer?"

"I am fickle, I'm attracted to beautiful women."

Amidst her laughter, Zi Yue found Song Shi's inner thoughts interesting and was amused.

Song Shi's body trembled and he woke up from his daze. The laughter in his ears became much clearer, and Song Shi regained consciousness.

He looked at Zi Yue in a daze. This woman knew how to hypnotize people. If he had been completely controlled just now, would he have revealed his system?

Thinking of this, he could not help but tremble in fear.

Zi Yue was very satisfied with this reaction. She smiled elegantly. "Don't be nervous. This is a test that you have to go through to enter the Yao Moon Palace. You… have passed!"

"Thank you for your trouble Senior!"

Song Shi pretended to be grateful and unaware of what had happened.

"You can leave. I'll arrange for someone to make you an outer sect elder."

"Yes."

Song Shi finally left with lingering fears in his mind.

He had just arrived at the Yao Moon Palace, but this woman had already taught him a lesson and almost caused him to mess up big time.

After he left, Zi Yue looked behind the door, "Come out."

A woman in white walked out with tears in her eyes. It was Liu Ruxue.

She looked at the door in a daze with a smile on her lips. "Silly boy, who asked you to die for me?"

Although she was rebuking him, the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes intensified.

Husband and wife were birds of the same forest1. It was common for them to 'fly away' from each other during a disaster, be it in the cultivation world or in the mortal world.

Especially in the cultivation world where people were indifferent to each other, such people who were willing to die for their Dao companions were extremely rare.

"Your Dao companion's foundation is not bad, but he's a little fickle."

Zi Yue commented, "However, he has something to do with the Demon Slayers Division and a mysterious martial arts powerhouse. According to the palace rules, he can't enter the inner sect for the time being."

"I understand."

Liu Ruxue wiped her tears and bowed respectfully.

She naturally had no objections. In fact, it was already good enough that Song Shi could pass the inspection. At the very least, he was not someone with ulterior motives.

115 Causing the teleportation formation to Explode

"This is my greeting gift to you. There's an Ice Spirit Spring Water that can help you reach the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm. Seize the opportunity to cultivate well. I hope you can shine in the inner sect competition in half a year."

Zi Yue took out a jade bottle and threw it out. Liu Ruxue received it in surprise and said excitedly, "Thank you, Master."

The Ice Spirit Spring Water was a spiritual object. Not only did it contain abundant Spiritual Qi, it was also the most suitable item for an ice-type Foundation Establishment cultivator like her.

With the help of this thing, her success rate in cultivating the Ice Spirit Body would be much higher.

"Your Dao companion's cultivation level is higher than yours. If you dual cultivate with him more, it won't be a problem for you to reach the Foundation Establishment realm in half a year."

Zi Yue reminded her and let Liu Ruxue leave.

She took out her token to send a message and made some arrangements. She muttered to herself, "A man who hasn't seen the world speaks so easily now. I hope you can still say such things after a while."

Liu Ruxue bid farewell to her master happily and was about to chase after Song Shi when Ximen Le stopped her. "Junior Sister, Master asked me to arrange a place for you to stay. Let's go."

"Where's Song Shi?"

Liu Ruxue looked into the distance.

"If he can't find us, he will wait at the Teleportation entrance."

Ximen Le said proudly, "Do we inner sect disciples have to care about him, the only outer sect elder?"

"Can't he come with me?"

"He hasn't obtained the outer sect elder token and doesn't have the right to walk around the inner sect casually. If he follows us rashly, not to mention provoking an Array Formation attack, it will be troublesome if he's discovered by the enforcement elders."

Ximen Le said disdainfully, "Let's go. Master asked me to arrange a high-grade cultivation cave abode for you. Very few new disciples get such benefits."

Liu Ruxue originally wanted to reward Song Shi well. Without his performance, her master might not give her such a precious Ice Spirit Spring Water as soon as she became her disciple.

After hearing Ximen Le's words, she did not dare to take the risk of violating the palace rules just to have Song Shi follow her.

After Song Shi left the palace, he didn't see Liu Ruxue or Ximen Le.

He could only walk back to the teleportation formation and wait. But even after a while, he did not see Liu Ruxue.

"Where is she?"

Song Shi was stunned. He did not know that Liu Ruxue had been taken to the inner sect to be settled down. Ximen Le seemed to have forgotten about him as well.

"Forget it, I will go out by myself."

Song Shi stepped onto the circular teleportation array and lowered his head to look at the dense silver runes. Thinking of Ximen Le's hand seal method, he tried to follow suit.

Buzz buzz!

The Array Formation's silver light shone brightly, and space quickly distorted, enveloping him.

"This teleportation array is very simple."

Song Shi smiled as his figure disappeared and entered a distorted passageway. However, his expression quickly changed as he felt a destructive pressure land upon him.

Puchi!

His body was directly crushed into meat paste by the spatial power and he turned into a blood mist that floated in the depths of the Void.

"…"

Before he died, Song Shi did not even have time to react.

His soul appeared from the blood mist and looked around in confusion.

"Ding… You have been flattened by the power of space. Physique 10!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 5 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

"You can choose an alternate resurrection point. Do you want to choose?"

Three seconds was relatively long for him. When Song Shi regained his senses, he was a little speechless.

His method was wrong. But he didn;t know he would actually be crushed to death by the Array Formation. It was… quite interesting.

"Could this be the so-called deep space that one can't come into contact with without sufficient strength?"

Song Shi looked at the distorted and black void around him and realized that there was not much pressure when he was in the soul state. This meant that the soul was indeed a ball of special energy.

He didn't choose the alternative resurrection point. If he did, he wouldn't be able to continue dying and would directly return to Silken City.

Three seconds later, Song Shi resurrected on the spot. Immediately, a terrifying pressure appeared again.

He tried to resist, but the result was that they were not on the same level of strength. Immediately, Song Shi was crushed into meat paste and died without his soul being extinguished.

"Good lord, I accidentally encountered a very good way to die."

Song Shi was excited. At this moment, he should be stuck in the space between the inner and outer sects and had no way to leave. He was not strong enough and would constantly becrushed by the spatial power.

This power was all-rounded in nature. Not to mention a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, even a Golden Core King would not be able to withstand this power of the Void without the protection of Dharma treasures.

Song Shi continued to die. After ten times, the basic rewards were gone. He received a total of more than 50 Physique points and 20 Freedom Attribute points.

In the outside world, Ximen Le arranged a residence for Liu Ruxue. After giving the inner sect disciples the standard items, he brought Liu Ruxue to the Teleportation area again.

"Junior Sister, although the inner and outer sects are not far apart, for the sake of safety, a spatial Array Formation has been set up. You have to enter and exit through the teleportation array. Remember this."

Ximen Le reminded him. He looked at the entrance and frowned, "Where is Song Shi?"

The surroundings of the Teleportation Platform were empty. Song Shi was nowhere to be seen.

"Perhaps he didn't see us come out and went to Master's door to wait for us?"

Liu Ruxue still didn't know that Song Shi was farming death. Or that he had rashly activated the short-distance teleportation array. At this moment, he was stuck in the depths of the void and was constantly crushed to death by the spatial power.

...

"Impossible. If Master doesn't have anyone to meet, No one would be able to get close to the Violet Moon Hall."

Ximen Le walked around the nearby aisle, but he still didn't see Song Shi. His face darkened, "Could this guy have randomly entered the other areas of the inner sect?"

"On no, doesn't that mean there's danger?"

Liu Ruxue was shocked. She knew that there were Array Formations everywhere in the palace. If he accidentally entered a killing array, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not be able to withstand it.

"Hmph, if he a death wish. he can't blame us."

Ximen Le snorted.

Liu Ruxue was so anxious that she was about to cry. She blamed herself, "He… He probably won't do anything rash. He might just be lost."

Crack!

A crisp sound drew their attention.

Cracks appeared on the teleportation array on the stone platform. The silver light became chaotic, and more cracks appeared like spiderwebs.

Ximen Le's expression changed drastically. "What's going on? Why is there a problem with this short-distance teleportation array?"

...

He approached the Array Formation in a flash and was shocked when he saw the cracks on it.

"Senior Brother, help me look for Young Master Song." Liu Ruxue did not care if the teleportation array was broken or not. She was only worried about Song Shi's safety.

"If he dies, so be it. This teleportation formation is very precious. Letting Elder Zhao repair it will cost a lot."

Ximen Le did not care about Song Shi's life at all. Instead, he was very nervous about the teleportation array. He even muttered, "Don't break. Don't break. It will be very troublesome if it breaks."

Perhaps praying worked. The teleportation formation suddenly calmed down but just as he heaved a sigh of relief…

Crack.

A new crack appeared in that moment and the Teleportation formation continued to crack.

After a few consecutive times, the entire Array Formation exploded with an ear-piercing sound, shattering into pieces. Space distorted for a moment, forming a circle of powerful waves force that sent Ximen Le flying.

"Ah, why!"

Ximen Le fell to the ground and vomited blood. He was in charge of this entrance and because the teleportation array was broken, he would definitely be blamed.

Song Shi did not know that he had exploded the teleportation formation. His body, which was stuck in the depths of the void, shone with golden light. He had just upgraded his Physique to a top-grade Vajra Dharma Body.

"Continue, upgrade to Spirit Body."

Just as he thought of this, space suddenly became chaotic. The power of space swept over him like a storm and threw him out.

At the foot of the Crescent Moon Peak, the Void split open and a figure emitting golden light fell out. Like a sword, this person plunged into the ground and entered into the crevice caused by the Void splitting the ground.

116 It's Because This Goose Is Sick

"Yaya~"

Song Shi's landing frightened the geese who lived here.

However, these geese were not afraid. Instead, they surrounded him angrily and pecked Song Shi's bare butt.

Under the power of the Void, Song Shi's clothes had long been ruined. At this moment, he was basically naked.

!!

After his butt was attacked, Song Shi immediately shrunk his body. A circle of blazing golden light erupted and protected his vital points. He hurriedly pulled his head out.

"Bah, bah."

He spat out a few mouthfuls of mud and grabbed the goose who was pecking at his butt. He said angrily, "Damn you, where are you pecking?"

"Uh, uh…"

This group of big white geese cried even louder and even released a circle of wind to attack him.

"Oh, you're quite fierce?"

Song Shi sent a slap over and a circle of heat waves rolled and spread from his palms, sending this group of special geese flying.

"Caw caw~"

The tone of these guys changed again and they looked afraid. Most of them did not dare to go forward. Only the guy who pecked at Song Shi's butthole pounced over again with determination.

"Just nice, I'm hungry!"

Song Shi muttered.

Fifteen minutes later, a fireball was burning in the grass not far from the big white goose.

Song Shi, who had changed his clothes, looked at the roasted goose that had turned golden on the fireball and could not help but swallow his saliva.

Just as he was about to take out some seasonings, Song Shi was shocked to discover that his storage bag had fallen off, and only his storage ring was still there.

"Fortunately, I put all the valuable things in my storage ring… Otherwise, I would have become poor."

Song Shi was glad. He found the seasoning in his storage ring and sprinkled it on the roasted goose. The fragrance immediately became much stronger.

He hurriedly tore off a goose leg and took a bite. He was instantly stunned.

"Wu~"

Amidst the cries of the other geese, Song Shi swallowed a few mouthfuls and sighed. "It's f*cking delicious. This is much better than the meat of Vicious beasts!"

He hurriedly pulled out the other goose leg, took a bite from the one in his left hand, then munched on the other one from his right hand.

The big group white geese in the distance trembled and lowered their heads in silence as they witnessed this sight.

Swoosh!

Ads by Pubfuture

A beam of light suddenly appeared beside him and transformed into a fair and chubby young man. He looked extremely shifty and his cultivation level was at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

Song Shi's expression changed and he hurriedly extinguished the fireball.

However, the fatty sniffed with his nose and immediately locked onto Song Shi's hiding spot with a glance. He said angrily, "Who's roasting meat here?"

Song Shi stood up awkwardly, "Brother, do you want some?"

When Wu Shansheng saw the roast goose in Song Shi's hand, he turned to look at the quiet group of geese and was dumbfounded. "You… You actually dare to roast the preparatory swans in the palace!"

"Ah, these guys are swans?"

Song Shi was surprised. "I thought they were just normal white geese that are bigger."

"Bullsh*t, they're swans. Where did you come from? How dare you!"

Wu Shansheng scolded, "Do you know that it's a serious crime to secretly eat a Spirit bird owned by the palace?"

"Uh, I'm new here. I wasn't aware."

Song Shi was embarrassed but not afraid. At the very most, he would just be 'sent' home.

He shrugged. "It has already been cooked. Do you want some?"

"You… How can you be like this!"

Wu Shansheng pointed at Song Shi as his gaze landed on the golden roast goose. He walked over and grabbed the roast goose. He swallowed his saliva and said righteously, "Give it to me. Since I found out about your crimes, I must confiscate the evidence. You can explain to the deacon later!"

Song Shi took a bite of the goose leg and commented with a sideways glance, "Why do I feel that you just really want to eat them too? You won't secretly eat these later, right?"

"How can I, Wu Shansheng, break the law knowingly? Even if I have to throw it away today, I won't eat it secretly."

Wu Shansheng held his head high and puffed out his chest, "You can doubt my looks, but you can't doubt my character."

"It tastes good when it's hot. Otherwise, when it gets cold, it won't be as good."

Song Shi pointed at the roasted goose and took another big bite in satisfaction.

Wu Shansheng's gaze changed and he snorted, "I've never liked to waste food, so I'll just have to reluctantly deal with it here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the roast goose and nibbled on it crazily. Then, he groaned. "Woo… It smells so good. How did you roast it?"

"Fireball."

Song Shi said indifferently. When he saw Wu Shansheng gnawing crazily, he snatched a goose wing and curled his lips. "Elder Wu, your table manners are a little ugly."

"I can't help it. It's too fragrant. I've never eaten such a delicious roast goose in my life."

Wu Shansheng revealed his true colors. He was the typical foodie kind of guy.

"Do you have wine?"

Song Shi felt that something was missing.

"I do."

...

Upon being reminded, Wu Shansheng took out a wine bottle and two wine glasses. He also took out a table, a matching stool and even peanuts. Song Shi was stunned.

"Elder, who are you? How should I address you?"

Wu Shansheng asked curiously.

"My name is Song Shi. I'm a new elder and I'm not familiar with the outer sect. I don't know how I barged in here."

Song Shi indeed did not know how he managed to come in. He had fallen out of the depths of the Void and landed here.

"So you are Elder Song. There are indeed many Array Formations in the palace. Don't run around in the future. If you're unlucky, you might encounter a fatal array. That would be dangerous."

Wu Shansheng said meaningfully. He did not know if Song Shi believed him.

"Killing Formation?"

Song Shi's heart skipped a beat. "Where's the killing array? Tell me. I will be more careful in the future."

Wu Shansheng stared at Song Shi. "These are secrets. If Elder Song needs to know, you will naturally get the opportunity to know."

He poured two glasses of wine and the fragrance immediately filled the air. He then took a sip and sighed in satisfaction as he looked at the roast goose. "I don't even dare to eat these spirit geese. And you actually dared to roast them here."

...

"Uh, I saw that the goose was sick, so I just gave him a quick release."

Song Shi rolled his eyes and said in embarrassment. However, it was because this goose came to provoke him when he was hungry. If he did not kill it, it would be a pity to spare this annoying little guy.

"Oh~"

Wu Shansheng smiled and looked at a big goose in the distance, "This goose looks sick too. Why don't you take a look at it?"

"Good God!"

Song Shi was speechless. He had met a kindred spirit who was as shameless as him.

"Then I'll check."

Swoosh!

A Phantom image darted out. The big fat goose hiding behind a tree screamed as it was grabbed by a hand with an intention to kill.

A few minutes later, Song Shi set up an iron pot to stew the goose. He clinked glasses with Wu Shansheng and asked softly, "These geese are not under your control, right?"

"I'm an elder in charge of the spiritual birds and spirit beasts in the outer sect. Do you think I'm in charge now?"

Wu Shansheng retorted meaningfully.

"…"

Song Shi smiled and said, "What a coincidence."

"It's indeed a coincidence. Do you know why they can't fly too high? It's because there's a flight-prohibiting Array Formation here and there's also an Array Formation enveloping the surroundings. Without an identity token, one can't enter or leave. I'm very curious how you got in."

Wu Shansheng's gaze gradually became dangerous. "I'm becoming very doubtful if you're the new elder or not."

Song Shi sensed that something was wrong. He looked at the wine that he had taken a sip of, "Is your wine poisonous?"

"The wine isn't poisonous. There's an immortal drug in the cup. It's equivalent to a knockout medicine in the mortal world, but it's specially targeted at cultivators' Essence Energy."

Wu Shansheng swirled his wine glass, "I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with you, so I can only knock you out for now and hand you over to the deacon."

117 Becoming a Poop Scooper

"I have an identity token."

Song Shi touched his waist and remembered that the wooden tablet and clothes that Ximen Le had given him had been crushed by the spatial power of the void.

He smiled awkwardly. "I accidentally lost it."

"Then you'll have to explain this to the law enforcement team."

!!

Wu Shansheng snorted. "Sneaking into the spirit bird breeding ground and killing the spirit birds, moreover your background is unknown. Even if you're really a new elder…"

BANG!

His entire body suddenly flew out, and a fist mark appeared on his face. Flames danced in front of his eyes and his entire body was pressed to the ground by Song Shi. His hands were folded back and he could not move.

"Why aren't you affected?"

Wu Shansheng was stunned.

"Your medicine does not seem to be enough."

Song Shi grabbed the token on Wu Shansheng's waist and injected his Essence Energy into it. The air in the distance fluctuated and a door appeared.

"Since I need the token, I'll borrow yours first."

With a teasing smile, Song Shi knocked Wu Shansheng out with a strike of his palm and disappeared with the token.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Shansheng woke up and realized that his clothes had been pecked to pieces by a goose. He covered his forehead and roared, "Song Shi, you ate my goose and even snatched my token. Don't let me find you!"

He cursed and stood up. Thinking of how he was instantly taken down just now, his expression changed. "This guy is probably an extraordinary martial artist. His close combat Ability is too strong, I couldn't even react in time."

He took out a mirror and looked at the mark on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched. "I can't let others know that I, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was actually beaten up by a newcomer. I'll endure the shame for two days and see what's going on with this guy."

He lowered his head to take a look. This person did not kill him or steal his storage bag. He should be the new elder indeed.

He took out a token and was glad that the token taken was only the one for the breeding area. Then, he realized that several swans were missing and there were many goose feathers on the ground.

"Damn it, this guy!"

Wu Shansheng cursed, "Fortunately, he doesn't know that goose feathers are more precious. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."

He hurriedly returned to his residence to change his clothes. Just as he wiped off some medicinal wine, a voice sounded outside the door.

"Is Senior Brother Wu here? Greetings from Ximen."

"Ximen Le, you have always been in charge of guarding the door. Why are you looking for me?"

Wu Shansheng did not go out. "I'm taking a shower now. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Ximen Le said politely, "Senior Brother Wu, the Elder Zi Yue has recruited a new outer sect elder and two deacons. He has already obtained the permission of the palace master. However, I don't know where this new outer sect elder has gone. If he appears, please help me arrange it. The teleportation array at the Violet Moon Palace is broken. I'm busy repairing it."

"A new outer sect elder?"

Wu Shansheng frowned. "Is his name Song Shi?" "Yes, yes, it's him."

Ximen Le affirmed, "The information of the few of them has been recorded. You should be able to check it directly."

Ads by Pubfuture

"Alright, I'll definitely make good arrangements for him!"

Wu Shansheng's tone became heavy.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu."

With that, Ximen Le left in a hurry to repair the teleportation array.

In the Yao Moon Palace, the inner and outer sects were very far apart. If one did not enter through the teleportation array, it would be very troublesome to reach both places.

Wu Shansheng took out a jade book. After activating it, it projected balls of light. After tapping a few times, a figure jumped out.

The appearance of the figure was very familiar to Wu Shansheng. Wu Shansheng sneered as he stared at the replica or Song Shi,"If I don't arrange for you to be in the worst position possible, my surname won't be Wu."

Song Shi held the token and walked around the back mountain for a long time. He finally had a general understanding of the situation at hand.

He realized that there were many animals raised at the foot of the mountain. On the mountainside, there were all kinds of pavilions and from time to time, beautiful women could be seen walking about. On the mountaintop, there were many palaces.

The buildings were filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was similar to a paradise. It was hard to imagine that there was a world of ice and snow outside.

"Hmm~ Junior Brother, you're so bad."

When they passed by a peach forest, the laughter of a man and a woman could be heard. Song Shi focused his gaze on the source of the sound and saw a peach tree shaking violently as peach blossoms fell.

"…"

Song Shi tactfully walked away. Soon, he met a beautiful woman who was watering flowers. She looked like a pretty girl from a humble family and looked very lovable.

When the latter saw Song Shi, she blushed and bowed, "Senior, do you want to pick flowers?"

Song Shi found it strange. Why are you blushing? Have you never seen a man before?

However he still enjoyed this woman's shyness and joy. He smiled and said, "Which flower are you talking about?"

"Senior, you can have any flower you want."

The girl lowered her head and replied.

Song Shi walked over, and the woman looked even more embarrassed. He plucked a rose beside her and smiled. "What's the name of you, 'little flower'?"

"I am Ye Chan."

"I'll remember. Remember to call me Young Master next time. Senior sounds too old."

Amidst the laughter, a gust of wind blew. The flowers swayed with the wind, and Song Shi disappeared.

"There are indeed many beautiful cultivators."

Song Shi landed on the steps in the distance. He was in a good mood.

"However, it's quite interesting for this girl to pretend to be so innocent for me."

...

Song Shi muttered. He did not believe that in a sect that specializes in sending outer sect disciples to brothels, there would be someone so pure and shy, as if they had never seen a man before.

Along the way, he realized that it was not the case where males were less than females. Instead, he encountered more male cultivators.

As he had Wu Shansheng's token hanging on his waist, the cultivators he met were rather polite even though they had never seen him before.

He hence could ask around when he encountered something he did not know. Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the front mountain he had been to at the beginning.

"Oh my god, I am finally back to square one. I'll wait here."

Song Shi looked around and sat on the largest stone he could find, seriously observing the front mountainous area of the outer sect.

The first thing he saw was a garden and a waterside pavilion with carved railings and jade bricks. There were pavilions and pavilions spread about. If he didn't know better, Song Shi would have thought that this was some royal palace or the estate of a noble family.

"Song Shi!"

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, a gnashing voice suddenly exploded behind a rockery, causing the air to buzz.

Song Shi was shocked. He turned around and smiled, "Brother Wu, we're really fated to meet again."

"That's right. We're fated."

...

Wu Shansheng gritted his teeth. He had used medicinal wine and circulated his energy to heal his injuries, but there were still faint red marks on his face.

"This… I was just defending myself. Brother Wu, don't be angry. We're from the same sect in the future. We shouldn't sow discord with each other."

Song Shi coughed and fell from the rock. He looked at this acquaintance and chuckled, "You're an old man. You definitely know how to best stay alive."

"Shameless!"

Wu Shansheng couldn't flare up here because… he wasn't confident that he could defeat this guy.

He took a deep breath. "I'm the person in charge of all the miscellaneous matters in the outer sect. I'm the one who arranged your Beginner procedures. Follow me to your doghouse!"

"…"

Song Shi's face twitched. This was awkward. It would be strange if he didn't hold a grudge after he was knocked out.

"Give me back my token!"

Wu Shansheng stretched out his hand.

Song Shi returned it to its rightful owner and said, "Brother Wu, where will I live?"

"You'll know when you come along."

Wu Shansheng led the way with a cold face. Song Shi thought for a moment and took out a bag of spirit stones. "Brother Wu, I was a little too harsh just now. This is my medical fee for you."

"Oh, you're quite sensible."

Wu Shansheng sneered and accepted the spirit stones without hesitation. He weighed them and said, "These three hundred spirit stones are not even enough to compensate for the loss of one spirit goose."

"That's all for now. I'll make up for it later." Song Shi could tell that this fellow's attitude had not softened, so he did not throw in any more spirit stones.

They walked along a small path for a moment.

"Woof woof!"

A series of dog barks sounded. Song Shi was stunned, "Brother Wu, are you really going to allocate me a kennel to live in?"

"It's good enough that you have a place to live!"

Wu Shansheng snorted coldly, "All the outer sect elders, deacons, and disciples have to be in charge of some miscellaneous matters. Since we need someone to take care of the dog. I'll leave this task to you!"

"Am I a poop-picker now?"

Song Shi thought. He smelled a stench and saw dog poop on the ground scattered all over. His face darkened. "Brother Wu, I think I'm more suitable to raise geese."

"You? Raising geese?"

Wu Shansheng squinted his eyes, "Then we will probably be only left with goose feathers by the end of the year, right?"

118 Mid-stage Extraordinary Foundation Establishment

Song Shi's gaze landed in the distance. The kennels were distributed like pigsties. There were dozens of dogs tied inside. There were also high-end kennels cut from jade. The dogs in there looked much better.

"Let me remind you that the dogs here all have special uses. They're either in charge of guarding the door or going out to hunt prey. If you're not the descendants of the elders or their favorite disciple in the palace, you won't be able to eat them casually."

Wu Shansheng teased, "You can try eating one and see if you get in trouble."

"Then I'll try it."

Song Shi's gaze landed on the dogs. He realized that these dogs all had a tag with a special number.

Sensing his unfriendly gaze, the dogs immediately started barking.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

The dogs were all acting tough on the outside but were actually feeling afraid on the inside.

Song Shi thought.

"Hehe, these dogs are intelligent and understand humans. You didn't give them a good first impression."

Wu Shansheng laughed out loud. It was obvious that he was deliberately making things difficult for Song Shi.

He threw a storage bag to Song Shi. "Instructions on how to manage the kennels are all in here."

With that, he left in a good mood.

Song Shi took the storage bag and sent his divine consciousness into it, taking out items one by one.

There was a special identity token.

A dog chain and a dog ring.

And finally a booklet that recorded the background of different dogs and what they liked to eat.

There were also a few classics titled: "Dogs' Common Sickness", "Dogs' Language", "All About Dogs", "Female Dog Breeding Manual", "Female Dog Postpartum Care", "Dog Identification Encyclopedia", "Dog Food Production Encyclopedia", "Rules of Dog Raising in the Yao Moon Palace"…

"Good lord, he is quite considerate!"

Song Shi's face darkened as he curiously opened the female dog breeding manual.

…

Under Wu Shansheng's 'special care', Song Shi became the person-in-charge of the outer sect kennel.

This guy did not even give him an outer sect disciple to order around. Song Shi's first job was really to shovel sh*t.

"This dog shit stinks."

Song Shi looked at the dog poop all over the ground. Many dogs in the kennel were baring their teeth at him like an outsider.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Ads by Pubfuture

A burly dog as tall as a man barked the loudest and spat out saliva.

"Be quiet!"

When Song Shi heard the noise, he berated them. However, the barking of the dogs became even louder.

He walked over, pulled out the big dog and started to beat it up.

The latter still wanted to bite him, but when it clamped it's jaw on Song Shi's top-grade Vajra Dharma Body, its dog teeth almost broke.

"Uh, uh, uh~"

The screams of the dog frightened the other dogs, and they all shut up and quietened down.

As he used violence to silence the dogs. Song Shi took a glance and realized that a big gray dog was looking at him from the corner of its eyes with a dissatisfied glance.

"Are you looking down on me?"

Song Shi felt that this husky-like fellow was disrespectful to him. He strode over, grabbed it and gave it a good beating.

"There's something wrong with your eyes too. You need to loosen up."

Song Shi caught the dogs that he disliked and taught them all a lesson. Soon, all the gazes in the dogs' eyes became 'kinder'.

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

Big Smart popped his head out and looked at Song Shi, who was pressing a big yellow dog to the ground and beating it up as he glared angrily causing lines to appear on his face.

"I'm befriending the dog!"

Song Shi threw the dog back and rearranged his hair. He immediately restored his gentlemanly demeanor as he asked indifferently, "How did you find me?"

"There are rumors outside that the new elder is shoveling sh*t. I thought that there weren't any new elders recently, so I came over to take a look. It's really you, Young Master."

"Wu Shansheng, you're spreading rumors. I'm the person in charge of these kennels. What do you mean I became a poop scooper?"

Song Shi snorted and stared at Big Smart with ill intentions, "Good that you came. In the future, I'll leave the poop-picking and dog-feeding to you!"

"Young Master, I don't have any experience in this."

Big Smart looked bitter.

"Here's the guide."

Song Shi threw the stack of manuals over. After some thought, he threw out a pile of pills, "This is your salary. Work hard."

Big Smart wanted to say that too much dog poop was too smelly, but when he saw the Foundation Establishment Pill inside, he immediately retracted his complaints and said righteously, "It's my honor to work for Young Master."

He was still a little uncertain. "Young Master, did you give me the wrong pill?"

"I'm already at the Foundation Establishment realm. Do you think I'll still need this?"

Song Shi walked to an attic beside the kennel. "I'm going to cultivate. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Big Smart happily accepted the pill and opened the book to take a look. His face twitched a few times before he looked at the dogs, "Don't bite me, or I'll get Young Master to beat you up."

Song Shi decided to stay in the Yao Moon Palace officially and started to cultivate. Half a day later, Liu Ruxue came over.

Seeing that Song Shi had been arranged to raise the dogs, Liu Ruxue said angrily, "Young Master, they're bullying you. Raising dogs is dirty, tiring and not pleasing at all. I'm going to tell Master."

"No, it's just a few dogs. Big Smart will be responsible for them for me."

Song Shi was not interested in telling Zi Yue about such a small matter.

"Oh, you're right, you can get Old Liu to help, but you have to be more domineering in the future. Don't be bullied."

Liu Ruxue grabbed Song Shi's hand and reminded him.

"Xue'er, I know, but we've only just gained a foothold. It's better for us to keep a low profile for a while."

Song Shi smiled. He was not afraid of death, but there was no need to make enemies everywhere. He had to familiarize himself with the situation in the Yao Moon Palace first.

"Young Master, you're considerate. I'll listen to you."

Liu Ruxue lay obediently in Song Shi's arms.

"I'm nothing in the outer sect, so you have to do well in the inner sect. Since cultivation is more important in the inner sect, let's start cultivating."

Song Shi grabbed at Liu Ruxue's clothes and they began to dual cultivate.

Seven suns rose and two of them communicated with Liu Ruxue's moon. Song Shi's masculinity became gentle, while Liu Ruxue's level was raised crazily.

After Song Shi did not take the initiative to have a death wish and handed the miscellaneous matters to Big Smart, Song Shi spent most of his time either cultivating alone or dual cultivating with Liu Ruxue.

Two months later, Song Shi's eighth acupuncture points were opened. He managed to open eight of the nine suns, and his Connate Pure Yang Art was raised to the fifteenth level in one go.

His Martial Dao and Immortal Dao realm had both reached the mid-stage of the Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm.

It was not just his cultivation. In this peaceful cultivation, he had already grasped the basics of the Embryonic Breathing technique and this had already begun to modify his body.

After the transformation was completed, he would no longer need to rely on external breathing. Then he would be able to survive without breathing.

"I didn't die in the past two months at all. Life without a death wish is a little boring."

After breaking through, Song Shi had a strange thought. He did not know that his speed was already ten times that of ordinary cultivators, but he was still not satisfied.

When Liu Ruxue came to him to cultivate, he asked, "Is the Teleportation Formation fixed?"

"Coincidentally, it was fixed two days ago. Also, Young Master, you don't have to look for Xue'er next time. I'll look for you instead."

Liu Ruxue smiled sweetly. She might be the first inner sect disciple to take the initiative to find a Dao companion to dual cultivate with. Her status was completely reversed.

"Are you done?"

Song Shi's heart skipped a beat. "Why don't we dual cultivate somewhere else? It'll be more exciting."

"Yeah, sure."

Liu Ruxue blushed. "Shall we go in now? I can show you my cave abode."

119 Master Actually Wants to Steal My Man

"Alright!"

Song Shi was excited. It was not that he was more interested in changing his environment, rather, he wanted to use the teleportation array to sink into the depths of the Void and be crushed by the power of space again.

He estimated that if he fell into it again, he would be able to raise his top-grade Diamond Dharma Body to the level of a Spirit Body.

"Then let's go."

Liu Ruxue happily brought Song Shi to the outer sect's Teleportation Hall.

"So he's Liu Ruxue's Dao companion?"

"I heard he is in charge of keeping the dogs in the kennels."

"Tsk tsk, I haven't seen him in two months. I guess he's too embarrassed to show his face here."

"However, this person actually made an inner sect disciple take the initiative to come out to dual cultivate. He has won a lot of face for our outer sect disciples."

Despite the surprised and mocking gazes of many people, Liu Ruxue did not care at all. She brought Song Shi to the inner sect with a smile.

In the inner sect's Teleportation Hall, Song Shi lowered his head to observe the Array after appearing.

"This is my master's Violet Moon Abode. My cave abode is a superior level cave abode that is below hers."

Liu Ruxue introduced happily.

"There should be many such teleportation arrays in the inner sect, right?"

Song Shi fell into deep thought. He realized that this teleportation array was different from the outer sect's Teleportation Hall. There was only one here and there were 18 in the outer sect.

"Only Golden Core Spiritual Masters and Martial Dao Kings are qualified to set up direct teleportation arrays. Therefore, there are only eighteen inner sect disciples, corresponding to eighteen Golden Core Spiritual Masters and Martial Dao Kings."

Liu Ruxue explained.

"Eighteen."

Song Shi's eyes lit up.

"No, there are twenty of them. There are also two large teleportation arrays set up in the Book Depository and the Conference Hall!"

Liu Ruxue shook her head.

"There should be existences above the Gold Core Realm in the Yao Moon Palace, right?" Song Shi was curious. With so many Gold Core Realm cultivators, they should be able to give birth to more powerhouses.

"Nascent Souls and Martial Emperors don't need such short-distance teleportation arrays to teleport themselves."

Liu Ruxue smiled. "I heard from my senior brothers and sisters that only the Palace Master and the Grand Ancestor have reached this level. The other elders are working hard to break through."

"That's amazing. There are actually two of them."

Song Shi was shocked. He knew that the founding emperor of Great Qian was at this level, which meant that the Yao Moon Palace also had the ability to establish a country.

"You haven't seen the scenery outside Violet Moon Palace yet, right? I'll bring you there to take a look. I guarantee you'll be very surprised."

Liu Ruxue smiled mysteriously and left Violet Moon with Song Shi. They went to the corridor outside.

As far as the human eye could see, there were only white clouds. Song Shi's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly walked to the guardrail and looked down.

A crescent mountain peak was right beneath their feet, tiny like a normal crescent moon.

"Hiss~"

Song Shi took a deep breath and said in shock, "The Violet Moon Palace is actually in the sky!"

"That's right. This place is at a height of one hundred thousand feet. You can receive the power of the nine heavens' moonlight at any time here."

Liu Ruxue put her hands behind her back. Her skin was like a bright moon with a faint luster. "It's precisely because this place is too high that it's very troublesome to go down. That's why I set up a short-distance teleportation formation. If the Array Formation is broken, we can only borrow other Array Formations. It's a little too dangerous and time-consuming to fly down by ourselves."

"No wonder…"

Song Shi was enlightened. Previously, he had thought that it was extremely extravagant of the Yao Moon Palace to set up a teleportation array between the inner and outer sects. Now, the reason they did it seemed to make more sense.

They were high up in the sky. It was fine if they went down, but if they wanted to come up, they would probably need flying Dharma treasures.

"It's not simple."

Song Shi sighed in his heart. What kind of methods were needed to build the inner sect so high up in the sky?

He looked up and saw palaces floating around, as if forming a huge object. Standing here, he could only see what would be considered the tip of the iceberg.

"Therefore, why don't you just stay in the inner sect? The Spiritual Qi and environment here are better."

Liu Ruxue suggested.

"I'll stay for a while longer, but I still have to go back to the outer sect. Although I don't do the dog rearing chores myself, there are some handover matters that I still have to attend to."

Song Shi was quite interested in the inner sect and was willing to stay for a few more days.

At this moment, Zi Yue's voice came from the depths of the palace behind her. "Xue'er, bring your Dao companion over."

Liu Ruxue was surprised. It was fine if her master was looking for her, but why was she looking for Song Shi?

Not daring to ask further, she still respectfully replied to the voice from the depths of the palace, "Yes, Master."

"Let's go. We'll go through the main entrance of the main hall so you can see the full grandeur of the palace."

This time, Liu Ruxue brought Song Shi to another aisle and soon arrived in front of a purple palace.

This place was surrounded by clouds and mist and the light was bright and beautiful. There was a purple full moon on the door, which looked a little strange and dreamy.

When Song Shi saw this, he felt a little apprehensive. Illusionary techniques were too strange. He did not know how to deal with them even after encountering them a few times.

"Come in."

Zi Yue's voice sounded solemn.

Liu Ruxue brought Song Shi into the palace.

The light in the hall dimmed, and it was as if they were in the night sky. A purple full moon hung at the top of the hall.

As the angle he was standing at was completely different, he couldn't see Zi Yue's bed this time.

Song Shi exclaimed. When he reached this place, he felt like he had instantly entered the night sky.

" Not bad. In just two months, you have advanced to the tenth level of Qi Refinement under dual cultivation and can now use the Ice Spirit Spring Water to break through the limit of Qi Refinement and reach the Foundation Establishment realm in advance."

Zi Yue's voice seemed to come from all directions, carrying a distant and dreamy feeling.

"It's all thanks to Young Master's higher cultivation level than mine. He has been of great help to me and I owe it to him for my improvement."

Liu Ruxue said humbly.

"Yes, I can tell. Moreover, he improved faster than you. He has already advanced by a small level in the Foundation Establishment realm in just two months."

As Zi Yue spoke, she suddenly changed the topic. "Since you want to break through the limit of Qi Refinement, you can only rely on yourself. You won't need him for the time being. I want to ask if you can lend your Dao companion to your Master?"

Song Shi was stunned. What did she mean? Borrow him?

Liu Ruxue was stunned for a moment and said uncomfortably, "Master, how do you plan to use him?"

"I'll do what you do."

Song Shi and Liu Ruxue's expressions changed.

"This… This woman is actually thirsting for my body!"

Song Shi was speechless, but at the same time, he was exceptionally happy. He felt that his charm had increased explosively.

"Master… actually wants to snatch my man."

Liu Ruxue's face turned pale and she became a little dejected. She was just a Qi Refinement disciple. What right did she have to reject a Golden Core cultivator?

"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm just using him to help me cultivate. I won't fight with you for a man. If I make a breakthrough later, I'll give you a huge gift to thank you."

Zi Yue chuckled.

"I've become a tool…"

Song Shi was a little dumbfounded. He had thought that his cool temperament, his stubble, and his handsome face was what attracted this person to him.

In the end, she was actually greedy for his cultivation. He said angrily, "Fairy Zi Yue, you haven't asked for my opinion."

"Help me cultivate and I will guarantee that you will make another breakthrough in a short period of time. I will also owe you a favor."

Fairy Zi Yue bewitched him: "You won't refuse, right?"

"I—"

Song Shi looked at Liu Ruxue. "Looks like I'm just cultivating with her. What do you think?"

"You already know what it's like to dual cultivate."

Liu Ruxue pursed her red lips and looked resentful.

…

120 The Fairy Zi Yue is Very Controlling

"Disciple, you're thinking too much. I just saw that his Pure Yang Essence Energy was rich and needed him to stimulate my Dharmic powers to transform."

Zi Yue chuckled, "That's all. You can go back, but Song Shi will stay."

Sensing that her master's tone had become colder, Liu Ruxue replied tactfully, "Yes."

"Indeed if you're not strong enough, you can't even protect your own man."

With some grievances in her heart, Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi reluctantly and turned to leave.

Only Song Shi was left in the palace. He smiled awkwardly. "Senior, you haven't said what the reward is."

"What do you want in return?"

Zi Yue's voice sounded a little more languid and comfortable, as if she enjoyed using her authority to subdue people.

The reason she had said so much just now was because Liu Ruxue was her disciple. Otherwise, she would have just snatched Song Shi away. Why would she waste her breath?

In the cultivation world, the strong were respected. Today, her disciple would probably have internalized how true this saying was.

"Well …"

Song Shi thought about it carefully and realized that since he had the system, he did not lack anything for the time being.

He could only say, "You can just owe me one for now. I'll tell you what I need when I think of it."

"Then come on up."

Zi Yue's voice became seductive.

"Come up…"

Song Shi was in a daze. Weren't they cultivating?

"I'm above you!"

Zi Yue's tone became heavier.

"Oh."

Song Shi looked up at the purple moon and felt a little awkward.

He admitted that he had misunderstood. Usually, when Liu Ruxue said that, he would really go on her…

"Stay calm. Isn't she just a Golden Core Daoist? She's an old woman. She might be hundreds of years old. She's not worth my attention."

Song Shi reminded himself. He looked above his head, tapped the ground with his feet and shot out on the spot.

Swoosh!

After passing through the first level of space, Song Shi landed on the second level and discovered that there was a translucent layer of jade here.

The purple full moon floated in it, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. It was not an ornament, but something formed by Nomological power.

In the center of the Nomological power, there was a faint graceful figure that was constantly emitting this powerful force.

"This is the Nomological power Phenomenon!"

Song Shi was astonished. How deep was her Nomological power to be able to form a purple moon that looked like a real moon?

"What are you waiting for? Come here."

Zi Yue's voice was crisp and pleasant. It was enchantingly moving. Most importantly, she even had a playful smile on her face, making Song Shi feel like they were very close.

"Oh my god, this woman is really a demon. I didn't even see her appearance clearly, but her voice is already bewitching me."

Song Shi thought to himself. He took a deep breath and slowly walked over.

The purple light was very bright and filled the entire second level, which was cold and dreamy. Song Shi felt as if he had entered a dream. The closer he got to the center, the more unreal everything became.

His heart started beating faster and all sorts of distracting thoughts emerged in his mind, especially certain unholy thoughts such as wanting to press this mysterious Fairy Zi Yue to the ground…

"Oh no, this is the effect of her magic power. I can't fall for it."

Song Shi's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly visualized the Lunar Star. A cold feeling spread in his mind and quickly suppressed the many evil thoughts. His mind gradually calmed down.

Soon, his heart was like the moon["Heart like the Moon" is a Chinese Phrase used to describe a state of calmness and serenity]. He didn't feel happy nor sad and his eyes became a bit brighter and clearer.

Zi Yue's star-like eyes watched Song Shi's changes with a surprised expression. This man could actually remain calm under her, Zi Yue's image.

This was a little rare. Although she did not take the initiative to activate the power of the illusion, the power she emitted was not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand.

Previously, she had tried the same thing on a few other men, but none of them were like Song Shi, much less in terms of the pure and masculine strength he emitted.

There was admiration in her eyes. "Not bad, you have a determined mind. I originally wanted you to fall into an illusion and be at my mercy."

"…"

Song Shi's state of mind was almost disrupted by her comment. He asked curiously, "What position did you want me to be in?"

"Don't you men only like to think with your lower body?"

Zi Yue rolled her eyes at Song Shi. Her flirtatiousness was so enchanting that Song Shi almost lost control.

His breathing quickened, "Senior Zi Yue, what technique are you cultivating? Why are you… so coquettish?"

"If you don't know how to talk, shut up."

Zi Yue's gaze turned slightly cold, but she still explained, "I cultivate illusion techniques. Coupled with my special Physique, I'm quite attractive to men."

"No wonder. I was just wondering why I felt like I couldn't control my urges when I haven't even seen you. Looks like it's not my problem after all."

Song Shi raised his head and immediately felt confident.

He was definitely not lustful, but this woman was too seductive.

"You're so annoying. Come here and sit down."

Zi Yue raised her hand and pointed in front of her. A jade-colored cushion flew out.

"I haven't seen what you look like. Can you dissipate this light?"

Song Shi was curious.

To not be able to see such an enchanting lady right in front of him, Song Shi felt like his heart was about to burst.

"You're not qualified to see my true appearance. Sit down!"

Zi Yue did not give Song Shi a chance.

"Petty."

Song Shi muttered.

Fairy Zi Yue frowned: "You should be respectful in front of me."

"No matter what, I am still considered your Dao companion right now. Why must I be respectful?"

Song Shi was a little unhappy. He had to give up his cultivation, yet he was not even allowed to take a look.

"Are you provoking me?"

Zi Yue's aura became dangerous.

"You're wrong. I'm teasing you. Why? If you want to attack me, remember that I can't help you cultivate if I am injured."

Song Shi shrugged. He was sure that Ziyue really wanted to use him to make some breakthroughs. Moreover he was not afraid of death, so he did not have much to lose.

Zi Yue stared at Song Shi in silence.

An invisible pressure appeared, and Song Shi's body became heavy.

He walked over and sat down on the futon. He continued teasing, "Zi Yue, you don't have a Dao companion yet, right? Let me guess, you probably have someone as a back up though, right? Ximen Le is one of them right? I think so too. That's why that guy was filled with so much hostility when he first saw me."

A smile appeared in Zi Yue's eyes. "You're quite smart. My cultivation technique has indeed reached a bottleneck and I need someone's help to break through. I've tried doing so with my disciple, Ximen, before, but his strength is not pure and masculine enough. It's not suitable. It's best to get someone like you."

"So it's because of the cultivation technique. Why didn't you find a Golden Core cultivator?"

Song Shi was puzzled. "With your status, a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me is indeed not qualified to fual cultivate with you

"It's not easy to control a Golden Core cultivator. Do you understand?"

Zi Yue sneered.

"Oh, so you're a woman with a strong desire for control."

"You're wrong. It's just for my safety. Immortal cultivators are cold-hearted and like to scheme against each other. It's hard to tell what the human heart feels. I'm worried about handing over my future to the hands of others."

Zi Yue's eyes were filled with pride, and she suddenly became noble and elegant, as domineering as an empress. "I'd rather rely on myself a little more than let other men betray me."

"Alright, how domineering. Since I'm easy to control, let's begin then."

Song Shi understood what Zi Yue's reason and stopped teasing her.

Seeing that Song Shi was tactful, Zi Yue threw out a Jade Slip. "Memorize the contents with your divine consciousness. Then, use a mystic technique to sync your Essence Energy with mine."

Song Shi held the Jade Slip and closed his eyes to probe it. At the same time, he secretly used his Great Yin Form Observation to spy on Zi Yue's appearance.

"She's perfect!"

Song Shi could not help but sigh. He felt that this woman was even more perfect than Liu Ruxue. Perhaps this was the effect of having a higher cultivation level.
