It is often said that when a king indulges in the warmth of a lover’s embrace, he forgets the duties of his morning court.
Su Jingzhen indeed wished to hold Luo Yuebai forever, as if time itself would cease to exist.
However, in the world of cultivation, the pleasures between men and women were merely diversions.
He never forgot his ultimate goal.
“Don’t move, let me sleep a bit longer.”
Stretchingzily on Luo Yuebai’s bed, Su Jingzhen was about to get up.
He identally nudged Luo Yuebai, who was curled up beside him like a small cat, and she murmured softly in response.
After a night of passion, even though Luo Yuebai had reached the fourth stage of the Golden Core Realm—no small feat in the world of cultivation—it seemed that she was a little overwhelmed.
She couldn’t understand why Su Jingzhen became more vigorous each time. Though their dual cultivation brought her significant benefits, with her cultivation advancing leaps and bounds—sometimes even more than from a diligent closed-door training session—she still felt utterly exhausted afterward.
Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen was full of energy.
Luo Yuebai had heard rumors, iming that only the oxen die of exhaustion, never the fields.
But between her and Su Jingzhen, it seemed the roles were reversed.
Seeing Luo Yuebai still in deep sleep, with exhaustion still evident on her face, Su Jingzhen felt a twinge of guilt.
“I really should be more gentle. But once the blood energy flows to that ce, it’s hard to hold back.”
He thought to himself.
He decided not to move and instead sat on the bed, beginning to organize the gains fromst night.
As with previous nights, while battling with Luo Yuebai, he triggered five attribute points again.
A total of 75 points.
<b>[Remaining Avable Points: 279]</b>
Seeing the points umte so rapidly, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.
At that moment, golden characters appeared once more.
The fixed points had arrived on schedule.
This felt perfect.
The points just kepting.
They never seemed to stop.
“If I, Su Jingzhen, am not invincible, then who could be?”
<b>[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 9, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dantai Xuening: 6]</b>
<b>[Avable Points Remaining: 328]</b>
At this rate, unlocking the Qi Sea acupuncture point with its required 1200 points was just around the corner.
ncing at Luo Yuebai, who was still deep in sleep, Su Jingzhen quietly got out of bed.
He began silently practicing Python Scales Power right there in Luo Yuebai’s room.
As Su Jingzhen started his cultivation, a sudden sh of white light emerged from under the bed.
It was none other than the belt transformed by Bai Suzhen.
Last night had been so intense that Su Jingzhen had almost forgotten about Bai Suzhen’s presence.
He had carelessly tossed it under the bed.
But this was something that both Bai Suzhen and Su Jingzhen would gradually get used to.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen coiled itself tightly around Su Jingzhen’s waist.
It would never miss an opportunity to absorb the blood energy during Su Jingzhen’s cultivation.
Su Jingzhen once again felt a cool and mysterious energy coursing through his entire body.
While it alleviated the fatigue caused by practicing Python Scales Power, it simultaneously absorbed the pure blood energy infused with dragon might that he was currently generating.
The two forcesplemented each other perfectly.
After breaking through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, practicing Python Scales Power gave Su Jingzhen a different sensation.
He felt that as his cultivation level increased, even though the movements of Python Scales Power remained the same, they never seemed to be any easier.
<i>“I really wonder where Shuang Jiang got this kind of technique,” </i>he couldn’t help but marvel once again.
When Shuang Jiang had given him Python Scales Power, she had described it as “decent.”
Any technique that could earn Shuang Jiang’s approval was undoubtedly one of the highest-grade techniques in the world, at least for body cultivation.
Even the Divine Wandering, which Shuang Jiang had once dismissed as ordinary, was something Su Jingzhen dared not underestimate now.
What Shuang Jiang consideredmon, others might regard as a priceless treasure.
Afterpleting ten rounds of Python Scales Power, Luo Yuebai finally began to stir.
A faint blush still lingered on her skin.
Her wless body appeared before Su Jingzhen early in the morning, and the desire he had just calmed down with Python Scales Power was suddenly reignited by her.
He felt an urge to rush over and once again take her right then and there.
She was simply too alluring.
“Keep your heart as clear as still water, where the breeze doesn’t stir and the surface remains unruffled…”
But seeing the lingering fatigue on Luo Yuebai’s face, he managed to restrain himself.
After all, today was destined to be a busy day, and he hadn’t forgotten that they needed to head to the Dantai ruins.
“I didn’t realize before how diligent you actually are,” Luo Yuebai remarked with a hint of surprise on her face as she watched Su Jingzhen slowly finish his cultivation.
“I need to increase my strength as quickly as possible to help you, don’t I?
At the Linjiang Branch, only my master is strong enough to hold his own, and that doesn’t seem like it’s enough.
I hope to grow strong enough soon so that you can just take it easy,” Su Jingzhen replied with a smile.
Luo Yuebai was momentarily taken aback by his words, and then another line of golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
<b>[Emotional Connection +15]</b>
<b>[Emotional Connection +15]</b>
<b>[Avable Points Remaining: 358]</b>
To Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen’s words seemed like nothing more than a lighthearted joke, but she was still moved.
Little did she know, Su Jingzhen was speaking the truth. With his current level of cultivation, he was already capable of handling things on his own.
After Luo Yuebai dressed and tidied herself up, she and Su Jingzhen left the room together.
Meanwhile, Xuening had already finished her preparations.
Upon first hearing about the Dantai ruins, Xuening’s emotions had beenplex, but after a night to reflect, she had regained herposure.
When Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai found her, her eyes were calm and collected regarding the situation.
“Brother Su, Sister Yuebai, are we leaving now?” Xuening asked.
“Yes, the Dantai ruins is located in the former Dan Holy City, which is quite far from Linjiang City.
We need to leave early so we don’t miss out.
After a night of fermenting, this news has probably already spread throughout Qingzhou. We can’t afford to bete,” Su Jingzhen replied.
After picking up Xuening, the three of them headed straight to Shen Yifeng’s courtyard.
Shen Yifeng was already prepared, but his gaze lingered on Luo Yuebai.
“Yuebai, are youing with us this time?” Shen Yifeng asked.
Luo Yuebai gently shook her head at this. “I am the sect master of the Linjiang Branch.
With my current strength, I wouldn’t be of much help in this matter.
I’m not an alchemist either, so I wouldn’t be useful in that area. It’s better if I stay behind at the Linjiang Branch to keep an eye on the Dan Hall.”
From the start, Luo Yuebai knew that the Linjiang Branch would have to be involved in this matter, but she also knew from the beginning that she wouldn’t be going herself.
When it was time for her to act, Luo Yuebai wouldn’t hesitate. But when she couldn’t contribute, she also wouldn’t choose to cause trouble.
Hearing her words, Su Jingzhen frowned. He had subconsciously assumed that Luo Yuebai would being along.
“Yuebai, you…”
Su Jingzhen started to speak, but Luo Yuebai interrupted him with a smile, “Everyone has their own role, and the things they can do are different.
This time, it’s in your field of expertise. If we each focus on what we’re good at, Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch is bound to grow stronger.
I’ll be waiting for you all to return.”
At this point, Su Jingzhen knew that Luo Yuebai had made up her mind.
Still, he couldn’t help but express his concern: “Second Elder’s forces, especially Six Heavenly Generals, are still lurking near Linjiang City.
The city is still full of dangers. Be careful.
If things get too risky, just retreat to a safe ce and wait for us to return.”
This was what worried Su Jingzhen the most. To him, Luo Yuebai’s Golden Core fourth stage cultivation was a bit on the weaker side.
Luo Yuebai nodded, reassuring him, “Don’t worry. Even if Second Elder’s people are bold enough to target you, they won’t dare to do anything to me.”
With their decisions made, the group wasted no time.
This mission to the Dantai ruins required a small but elite team.
From the Linjiang Branch, only three people were going: Shen Yifeng, Su Jingzhen, and Dantai Xuening.
No one else would be apanying them.
A magnificent white-feathered eagle suddenly swooped down from Clear Wind Mountain,nding gracefully in front of Su Jingzhen and the others.
The eagle wasrge, with a wingspan of four to five zhang. The aura it emitted was that of a second-tier demon beast,parable to the Foundation Establishment stage.
“We have something like this at the Linjiang Branch?”
Looking at the white-feathered eagle, Su Jingzhe was a little surprised.
Luo Yuebai chuckled, “As the sect grows, it’s only natural that we acquire such things. This white-feathered eagle might not be as fast as the Third Elder at full speed, but it will allow you to travel infort.”
The three of them mounted the white-feathered eagle’s back. With a sharp cry, the eagle pped its wings and soared out of Linjiang Branch.
Su Jingzhen had promised Ye Zhiqiu he would pick her up, so they still needed to do that.
Luo Yuebai stood in ce, watching as the white-feathered eagle flew off into the distance. Her eyes held a hint of anticipation.
“Just return safely…” she whispered.
Once a ruthless killer, Luo Yuebai now found herself deeply concerned for others. In the past, she would never have imagined feeling this way.
