Lust points: 18.717] Qingyi looked at his information screen with a complicated look on his face. After buying the Three Bladed Monarch set, a cultivation pill and a breakthrough pill for Yunfei, that was all that was left. He had left Yunfei alone to avoid disturbing her during her breakthrough. Distractions at that moment could be deadly. Now he was back in the dead garden, sitting in the center of it while he pulled out some more spirit herbs. There were only a little over fifty of them, but that was enough. His eyes were filled with a subtle glow as he arranged them around him, feeling all their pure Qi flowing towards him. After a short moment, he finally decided that it was time for his talent to increase even further. [Initiating spirit root enhancements!] He clicked on enhance spirit roots, his body immediately seized with intense pain as his meridians ripped apart and were slowly rebuilt. It was even more painful than when he had last improved it, but now, he was used to the pain. [Spirit roots improved! Ninth level lightning spirit root -> Low-level lightning spirit root] He felt the difference immediately. His meridians sucked in the surrounding Qi incessantly, the spiritual herbs trembling as they were drained. Without hesitation, he clicked to improve his cultivation. [Your cultivation has increased! First stage of the Golden Core Realm -> Second stage of the Golden Core Realm]. He felt the power explode in his body and, without hesitation, clicked to improve his cultivation again. [Your cultivation has increased! Second stage of the Golden Core realm -> Third stage of the Golden Core realm]. With that last breakthrough, the herbs around him finally dried up completely, their glow ceasing and their leaves no longer exuding pure Qi. "Ah..." He sighed, keeping his eyes closed as he stabilized his base. At that moment, Ruxue left the sword, circling Qingyi while her eyes shone with a strange light. Her face held a hint of uncertainty, but she didn’t say anything, waiting for Qingyi to stabilize his base first. "Is everything all right?" Qingyi asked, opening his eyes and noticing the expression on Ruxue’s face. "Qingyi..." She called out, hesitating for a brief moment before asking. "Do you have a system?" "Uh?" Qingyi raised his face, surprised. He thought for a moment. Ruxue would be by his side forever, he didn’t think it would be a problem to talk about it now. "Yes, the lineage of the Dragon God of Corruption came with a system to help me inherit it more easily." He nodded and Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief. "Systems are common in the Celestial Heaven? Why does that worry you?" "They’re not common," she shook her head. "But they do exist. Once every few thousand mortal generations, one always appears. As for my worry... it’s nothing." She went back inside the sword, leaving a confused Qingyi behind. [She was probably thinking that you had made a contract with a demon.] ’Demon? Like the ones in the demon cult?’ [No, real demons, beings that aren’t below even the gods themselves. They shouldn’t exist in such an isolated place, but it’s a more realistic possibility than my existence]. ’I understand...’ Qingyi stood up, no longer questioning it, his eyes returning to his status screen. [Name: Long Qingyi Age: 18 Cultivation: Third stage of the golden core realm (2800 lust points to upgrade) Affinities: Lightning 67 - Sword: 60 - Charm: 1000 (can be upgraded in the lust store) Spiritual roots: Low-level lightning sword root (100,000 lust points to upgrade, new roots can be bought in the lust store). Bloodline: Blood of the Corruption Dragon God (Epic grade, 500,000 lust points to upgrade.) Constitution: Body of the primordial dragon (Epic grade, 500,000 lust points to upgrade.) Lust points: 3417] Qingyi was poor again, but not a hint of worry crossed his face. As he prepared to climb the tunnels again, he heard a bang. A powerful Qi of lightning took over everything around him. Qingyi activated the lightning steps, returning to the room where the beauty cultivated alone. His eyes immediately focused on a voluptuous, naked figure, her eyes firmly closed as she floated in the air, her lightning Qi tearing apart everything around her. [Name: Xia Yunfei Age: 103 Corruption: 32/125 Chastity: Taken Lust: 3% Talent: Genius Reward: Extremely high Cultivation: First stage of the Iron Body realm. Spiritual roots: Low-level lightning spiritual root. Lineage: None Constitution: None Traits: Faithful, loving teacher, most faithful follower of the lightning spirit, foolish dreamer, repressed desires]. Qingyi looked at her information screen, a big smile taking over his face. She had made a breakthrough. Xia Yunfei’s beautiful black eyes opened, focusing on Qingyi. The aura around her body ceased as she threw herself towards him. "Thank you, husband!" She embraced Qingyi, pulling him against her large breasts, drowning him between her twin mountains that now seemed even fuller than before. "For what?" He smiled gently, grabbing her hips. "For everything!" She kissed him without holding back, unable to hide the excitement taking over her body. Qingyi just slapped her hard on the ass as he hugged her. "We still have a bit of time before the golden crystals come back, don’t we? Not that that’s a problem for you right now." Qingyi smiled slightly as he pushed her back against the bed. For an Iron Body Realm expert, even dozens of beasts at the ninth stage of the Golden Core Realm were like ants. That was the difference between the two realms. "I think we can have a little fun before we go... just a little..." Yunfei gasped and soon, panting moans filled the room. It wasn’t long before a flushed Ruxue appeared from the sword, also joining them.
