Chapter 1313 -453: Lu Wangshu: Annihilating Your Golden Dragon Ridge! The vast lake stretched endlessly, and a crystalline Blue-Green Lotus Seat drifted amidst the waves. Sometimes it sank to the depths of the sea, sometimes it floated back to the surface. Occasionally, demon beasts spotted this lotus seat, attacking it viciously or swallowing it whole. But soon after, the lotus seat would bloom with spiritual light, emanating a terrifying magic aura that left the beasts bleeding and defeated. At this moment, within the lotus seat. “Huff, huff, huff—” The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, forming a vortex akin to a breach, saturating the air with overwhelming spiritual pressure. “If this goes on, attempting to condense a superior golden core will be exceedingly difficult.” Lu Changsheng was channeling the Sun Moon Samsara Technique to assist Chu Qingyi in reforming her core. However, he realized that continuing this way would make it near impossible for her to condense a superior golden core. Even if she managed to condense one by a stroke of luck, it could at best be a third-grade core. “Could I directly refine nature’s spiritual energy into Seven Luminaries Mana and then merge it with her mana…?” Lately, an idea emerged in Lu Changsheng’s mind. Years ago, when he was detoxifying Chu Qingyi, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture resonated mysteriously with her cultivation technique and Dao foundation. This indicated that the two techniques shared similar characteristics and were not mutually exclusive. Moreover, his cultivation technique—the Yin Yang Creation Classic—possessed the power to unify and coordinate various forces. If that were the case, he could directly refine nature’s spiritual energy into Seven Luminaries Mana and transfer it into Chu Qingyi’s Qi Ocean Core. Through the Yin Yang Creation Classic, he could harmonize the two forces, which would enormously boost the efficiency of core formation! Though such a thought sounded utterly absurd. The more Lu Changsheng pondered, the more feasible it seemed. After all, when he had condensed the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation years ago, he faced imbalances in yin and yang. Yet he had relied on Yun Wanshang’s spirit-nurturing energy to achieve perfect harmony. “Qingyi.” Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng shared his idea with Chu Qingyi. “This…” Chu Qingyi, upon hearing this, found it utterly inconceivable. It wasn’t just about cultivation techniques sharing similar traits. Even practitioners of identical techniques would see uneven mana following breakthroughs in Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, making perfect fusion difficult. Yet, inexplicably, she instinctively chose to trust Lu Changsheng and agreed to let him act. On one hand, she knew he harbored no ill intentions toward her; his suggestion must stem from confidence. On the other hand, her emotions were already tangled beyond measure, leaving her unsure of how to face Lu Changsheng—or her junior sister—afterward… “Alright…” Chu Qingyi’s face flushed crimson as she resigned herself to the possibility of failure. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 At least if she failed, she wouldn’t have to confront Lu Changsheng—or her junior sister… “Qingyi, don’t worry.” Lu Changsheng, evidently aware of her thoughts, gently stroked her soft, rosy cheek and spoke tenderly. Then, carefully channeling the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, he transferred a portion of Seven Luminaries Mana into Chu Qingyi’s meridians and Qi Ocean Core. Though the two forces shared similarities, they indeed struggled to fuse. Especially since Chu Qingyi was currently forming her core. If the Seven Luminaries Mana accidentally merged into the embryonic inner core, it might result in chaotic mana and ultimately cause core formation failure. “Buzz—” Lu Changsheng began channeling the Yin Yang Creation Classic, attempting to meld the two forces. Under the harmonizing guidance of the Yin Yang Creation Classic, the Seven Luminaries Mana seamlessly fused into Chu Qingyi’s embryonic inner core, integrating flawlessly and gradually merging as one. “This…” Chu Qingyi’s misty, mesmerized eyes opened wide with wonder, gazing at Lu Changsheng in astonishment, longing to understand how he accomplished this. This was astonishing! Utterly unbelievable! “Qingyi, if you feel unimpeded, I shall continue…” Lu Changsheng’s warm gaze locked onto Chu Qingyi’s hazy, shy eyes as he spoke softly. Chu Qingyi’s heart skipped a beat under his intimate gaze, her emotions swirling uncontrollably. She hastily turned her head, tightly closed her eyes, and avoided looking at Lu Changsheng, her face awash with embarrassment. “…” Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. He thought this Fairy Qingyi was far too easily embarrassed. Despite their growing closeness, she remained so shy and reserved. “Qingyi.” Lu Changsheng reached out to pinch her smooth, snowy cheek, signaling that he would continue if she had no objections. “Mm…” Chu Qingyi let out a soft hum. “Does ‘mm’ mean yes or no?” Lu Changsheng asked with a smile. “…” Chu Qingyi pressed her lips together, silent, her dazzling eyes opening slightly to glare at Lu Changsheng in annoyed embarrassment. This man, despite appearing gentlemanly, acted so shamelessly! Ignoring him didn’t deter his teasing; instead, he persisted, intentionally trying to make her speak in these mortifying situations. “No problem.” Chu Qingyi bit her lip lightly and mumbled. Her typically clear and soothing voice now trembled slightly, tinged with emotion and allure. “Very well, very well, this husband understands.” Lu Changsheng laughed, responding cheerfully. He thought to himself, though Qingyi exuded an icy demeanor, once her heart melted, she would undoubtedly prove a devoted wife and mother. He wondered whether she liked children. “…” Chu Qingyi shifted her head aside, refusing to engage in his conversation, convinced that this man was becoming increasingly brazen. First, he addressed her intimately as Qingyi; now, he audaciously referred to himself as her husband. They had only met twice. During their first meeting, she had been disguised. And yet, he was already so familiar and presumptuous. Chu Qingyi couldn’t fathom how thick-skinned this man was. Or perhaps how many other women he had treated this way to become so practiced and effortless… Lu Changsheng didn’t mind Chu Qingyi’s attitude. After all, their relationship lacked emotional depth, requiring time and interaction for feelings to develop. Nonetheless, despite teasing her, Lu Changsheng never neglected his responsibilities. As he channeled the Seven Luminaries Mana into Chu Qingyi’s Qi Ocean Core, a radiant sun emerged at his brow, illuminating the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.
