Let Nature Take Its Course, Do as One Pleases

Upon hearing Wang Da's words, the red-armored female cultivator was filled with turmoil, and her gaze towards Lu Yang held a hint of surprise.

However, she reacted quickly, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and smiled and cupped her hands towards Lu Yang, her tone very sincere. "Young friend, I meant no harm, it was just a habit, and I was just curious, so I took a second look."

Lu Yang turned to look at the red-armored female cultivator, chuckled, and didn't pursue the matter too much. His tone was relaxed, with a hint of teasing, as he said, "Senior, this habit isn't very good. You should be more careful next time."

The red-armored female cultivator's sharp, pretty face stiffened slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

As a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection, he was actually lectured to his face by a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this.

She has a powerful background, exceptional talent, and has always acted as she pleased, being arrogant and domineering.

Even when facing the core disciples of the Immortal Sect Holy Lands, she would criticize them without hesitation and never give them any face.

If it were anyone else, she probably would have already snapped back.

However, even she couldn't see through the little guy's background, so she felt a little uneasy and naturally didn't say much.

Moreover, she was in the wrong to begin with.

Using pupil techniques to spy without permission is taboo among cultivators.

She took a deep breath, swallowing the provocative words that were about to escape her lips. A slight, forced smile played on her lips as she said, "Young friend, you're right... I was wrong. I'll be more careful next time!"

Her tone was somewhat strained and resentful.

Lu Yang chuckled softly, showing no fear whatsoever.

After all, Wang Da is here.

Moreover, he also possesses the [Power of Money]. Let alone Nascent Soul Perfection Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Anyway, he had plenty of Spirit Stones, and also a lot of Rebate Cards.

He's currently having trouble Rebate Card.

Just then, a panel silently appeared in front of him.

[Found an 11-point beauty!]

[Found a stunningly beautiful woman!]

He raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

Good heavens!

Two female cultivators who meet the criteria for a beautiful woman appear at once?

He glanced at the red-armored female cultivator; she was indeed as beautiful as a celestial being, sharp and dashing, and certainly met the standard.

This red-armored female cultivator had a similar temperament to Qin Nanyue, but compared to Qin Nanyue, she was more sharp and arrogant.

Qin Nanyue is actually quite reserved.

What about the other one?

His gaze swept across the room and quickly landed on a beautiful woman with long, emerald-green hair and wearing a green silk dress.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

This... is it a powerful demon in human form?

Good heavens, even a great demon counts?

The system's criteria for female confidantes are way too broad!

Is there reproductive isolation between transformed demons and human cultivators?

Um... I don't think so. He remembered reading stories similar to Ning Caichen and Xu Xian before.

Hmm... let's see if we can add each other's contact information.

After all, he is True Lord in the Nascent Soul Realm, so the rewards for increasing his favorability are quite good.

It should be similar to Su Jinxuan before.

As for cultivating goodwill later, let nature take its course.

If this were when he first acquired the system, he would probably have tried every means to get close to every woman who met his criteria and racked his brains to increase her favorability.

But things are different now.

He already has quite a few female admirers.

Yingying and Shiqing have already reached maximum favorability; the next step is to nurture them and cultivate them into Immortal Emperors, which will require considerable effort.

My favorability with Nanyue, Senior Sister Mu, and Elder Su isn't maxed out yet.

He had spent some time with these three women, had a certain understanding of their personalities and character, and liked their temperaments, so he naturally planned to maximize his favorability towards them.

Then their training program will continue.

Oh, right, there's also Senior Sister Yaoyao, whose favorability rating inexplicably broke 60 points.

I almost forgot.

These things all take time and require dedication.

If he were to cultivate any female cultivator he encountered who met his criteria for a confidante, then all his attention would likely be focused on that woman.

This is putting the cart before the horse.

That's not what he wanted.

He still needs to cultivate himself.

So now that he's met a new woman who meets his criteria, he's very calm about it.

I used to be starving, but now that I'm well-fed, I naturally feel more confident.

Simply add it to your contact information and you'll receive the first reward.

After that, just let things take their course.

If there's no chance to get in touch, then so be it.

If, after getting to know her, he finds that she has a personality he likes, then he naturally won't let her go.

If we don't get along, then forget it.

The main theme is doing whatever you want.

The red-armored female cultivator had very keen senses; she clearly noticed a subtle change in the way the little guy looked at her just a moment ago.

The look in her eyes... how should I put it? It was as if she were a valuable treasure.

This made her feel a little doubtful, and at the same time, she gritted her teeth even more.

This kid is really showing no respect for her, a Nascent Soul True Lord!

Unfortunately, she couldn't lash out!

Damn it, I'm so angry!

Not only her, but the great demon in the green dress also noticed that the white-robed youth's gaze lingered on her for a moment.

She narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in her emerald green pupils.

How?

This human wants the materials on her?

That's interesting...

This is the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, the territory of Demon Beasts!

So what if you have a noble status?

Unless it's Spirit Transformation personally arriving, how could they possibly kill her here?!

Lu Yang was naturally unaware of the thoughts of the human and the demon, and he wasn't in a hurry to get their contact information; he wanted to check out the heavenly materials and earthly treasures first.

Lu Yang's gaze fell upon the lava lake.

In the lava lake, which spans hundreds of meters in diameter, dark red lava slowly surges, and each burst of bubbles sends up sparks.

In the heart of the lake, a charred, withered tree stands quietly, a crimson fruit hanging from its branch in the sweltering air, with faint golden threads flowing beneath its skin.

Upon seeing the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had never seen such heavenly materials and earthly treasures before, which was a bit awkward.

It seems I'll have to study more when I get back.

Otherwise, if you see a treasure and don't recognize it, you're not a super-rich person, but a nouveau riche.

However, even though he didn't recognize it, it didn't matter; there was Search Module.

Just as Lu Yang was about to search, Mu Yunxue's cool voice, tinged with surprise, murmured, "It's Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit! I never expected it to be such a treasure!"

Having already learned quite a bit about Mu Yunxue, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at her cool, fair profile. "Senior Sister Mu, do you recognize this treasure?"

Tsk, I didn't expect she even recognizes Senior Sister Mu's ice cube...

They're about the same age...

Lu Yang felt somewhat frustrated.

However, the fact that even an ice cube like her showed surprise suggests that this thing is quite something.

Mu Yunxue nodded, her voice regaining its usual coolness. "A supreme treasure of the Fire Dao, capable of increasing the success rate of Spirit Transformation."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light appeared in Lu Yang's eyes. "A fine treasure."

Although he did not specialize in the Fire Dao, there were no Fire Dao- specializing cultivators among the beauties.

But Wang Da is a cultivator specializing in Fire Dao!

What if Wang Da could use it?

Lu Yang immediately checked whether Wang Da could be used through the puppet link in his mind.

However, Lu Yang was soon disappointed.

Wang Da is neither a cultivator nor a spirit pet, and therefore cannot cultivate on his own.

When he acquired the puppet, his cultivation level was already fixed.

To upgrade, simply use the Puppet Upgrade Card.

The Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit was useless to him.

Pity...

Otherwise, Wang Da might have broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

In this way, he will be able to possess his first Spirit Transformation puppet.

However, even if Wang Da doesn't need it, he can keep it for now, just in case it comes in handy later.

He glanced at the surrounding cultivators; they hadn't started scrambling yet, clearly indicating that the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit wasn't ripe.

They are waiting.

Lu Yang chuckled lightly and said casually, "Wang Da, bring me this spiritual fruit later."

Wang Da remained calm and bowed slightly. "Yes, young master."

Seeing the matter-of-fact manner of Lu Yang and Wang Da, the group of transformed demons grew increasingly grim.

This is a rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that appeared in their Demon Beast territory!!

What right does this Qi Refining Realm human brat have to take it away with just a few words?!

The faces of the group of transformed demons turned ashen, and their Yao Qi surged even more violently.

They took a deep breath, suppressing the childish urge to argue with each other.

If you lack the ability, nothing you say will make a difference!

Niu Huohuo roared telepathically at the group of transformed demons, "Everyone, you all help me hold off these human bastards while I go collect this Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit! If I break through to the Spirit Transformation and become a Demon King in the future, I promise I won't annex your territories, and I'll owe you a favor!"

The Demon Race' eyes flickered, and they sneered inwardly.

Niu Huohuo promises, without any real benefits, clearly did not sway them.

Who can say for sure what will happen to Niu Huohuo after he becomes the Demon King?

Who knows, he might change his mind faster than turning the pages of a book!

The Mountain-Moving Ape crouched in the void, its amber eyes coldly sweeping over Niu Huohuo, and Sound Dao, "Distribute them after we get them!"

A cold glint flashed in Niu Huohuo's eyes as he glared fiercely at the Mountain-Moving Ape.

But with a formidable enemy at hand, he could only forcefully suppress his anger.

Just then, the previously calm lava lake suddenly began to boil violently.

Bubbles bubbled and rose from the bottom of the lake, forming a dense, continuous mass.

Within the magma, crimson light gradually rippled outwards, spreading outwards in concentric circles like water ripples.

The air temperature in the valley suddenly soared, making even breathing feel hotter.

At the same time, the nine golden threads inside the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit on the withered branch gradually imprinted onto the fruit peel, forming nine mysterious and complex golden patterns.

With each new line formed, the fruit brightens a little more, until eventually the entire fruit is enveloped in a soft and bright golden glow.

At the same time, a rich, exotic fragrance filled the air.

The exotic fragrance carried the purest essence of the Fire Dao Principle. When inhaled, one felt a slight burning sensation in the chest, as if the heat had permeated every pore of the skin.

All the Nascent Soul experts present held their breath in unison.

"They're almost ripe!"

The sign that the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit is ripe is when all nine patterns have fully formed!

And now, the most crucial moment has arrived!

All the Nascent Soul Realm experts present spread their Divine Senses, firmly locking onto all the cultivators present, while their eyes were fixed on the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit!

Beams of light shone under the gloomy sky as they summoned their respective Law Treasures.

Flying swords, whisks, golden rings, and precious mirrors... spiritual light intertwined and collided beneath the dark clouds, reflecting a myriad of colors onto the gloomy sky above the valley.

Various fundamental Principle permeated the sky: the fiery intensity of the Fire Dao, the sharpness of the Metal Dao, the vitality of the Wood Dao, the weightiness of the Earth Dao...

They intertwined and crushed each other, causing the space itself to distort slightly.

The dense sounds of bubbles bursting in the lava lake, the booming of rocks peeling off the distant cliffs, the muffled rumble of purple thunder in the high-altitude clouds...

All background sounds became extremely distant and faint.

The air seemed to freeze in that instant.

A terrifying war seems imminent.

We're just waiting for the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit to ripen!
