Longevity Flesh

After the third brother Ao Lie reincarnated.

The only people Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le were close to in life were their father Ao Zhan, their mother Ao Yun, and their nephew Ao Jun.

As for his eldest and second eldest brothers, they were much more distant.

Ao Zhan and Ao Yun were traveling, seemingly trying to make up for the thousands of years they had lost, leaving no way to contact them. Lu Qingfeng could find them if he wanted to, but there was no need; it would only bother them.

Then.

Ao Le gave birth to a son and a daughter, but only Ao Jun came to visit her.

The affairs of Heavenly Pivot Prefecture were busy, Ao Jun left in a hurry after staying in Jimo City for three days.

The Prefectural Governor's Office of Jimo City.

After Ao Jun left.

"This time, his boasting has been exposed."

Ao Le looked at Lu Qingfeng, pursed his lips, and snorted, "Jun'er's taste is really impeccable. Of all the people he could have chosen, he had to pick Su Mu."

Ao Le shook his head.

He glanced at Lu Qingfeng again, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng remained calm and said, "I think Su Mu and Jun'er are quite suitable. One is the 'Stupa Sword Immortal' of the Heavenly Court, and the other is the 'Heavenly Pivot War God' of the Sorrow River. Both of them have a warlike nature."

Going back more than 50,000 years.

Lu Qingfeng also has a connection with this 'Stupa Sword Immortal' Su Mu.

Back then, Lu Qingfeng, under the name "Luofuzi," became a disciple of True Immortal Ronghong of the Mount Yu Sect, making him a fellow disciple of Su Mu. When Lu Qingfeng saw her, he would even address her as "Eighth Senior Sister."

Back then, Lu Qingfeng was so skilled that he deceived Su Mu and took over the Mount Yu Sect on behalf of the Sorrow River, which made Su Mu resent him for many years.

The situation in Nine Continents of Chunshen has stabilized somewhat.

Tens of thousands of years later.

Whenever Su Mu had a spare moment and made a breakthrough, he would go to Mount Yu to challenge 'Luofuzi'. However, he never went all out, leaving Lu Qingfeng helpless.

Ao Le heard about it and laughed at it countless times.

Unexpectedly.

Ao Jun actually took a liking to this person.

"But my husband's eighth senior sister seems to have already fallen for someone else, and I'm afraid she won't be able to tolerate Jun'er."

Ao Le chuckled, seeing Lu Qingfeng's stiff expression, she wrapped her arms around Lu Qingfeng's arms, tilted her head slightly and rested her chin on Lu Qingfeng's shoulder, and smiled, "How about we let that Mount Yu Sect Leader take the little girl away? Jun'er doesn't know the inside story anyway, so we can put an end to his thoughts sooner."

Aside from Lu Qingfeng himself, only Ao Le knew that Luofuzi External Incarnation Lu Qingfeng.

Also.

Neither Ao Jun nor anyone else knew.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng glared at Ao Le, "I haven't hidden anything from you about my relationship with Su Mu. Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that she has the support of Patriarch Yiyuan, I would have suppressed her under the Three Mountains long ago!"

That's false.

Although Su Mu had repeatedly challenged 'Luofuzi', he had no intention of killing or causing harm. Lu Qingfeng always adhered to his principles. He couldn't possibly suppress Su Mu over such matters of personal affection.

However, when it comes to talking to Ao Le, one must be more resolute and shift all the blame to the Patriarch Yiyuan of the Nine True Immortal Sword Sect.

I think so.

Given the status and strength of the Patriarch Yiyuan, he wouldn't care about these things.

"OK."

"My husband actually yelled at me because of that girl Su Mu!"

Ao Le hummed, his face immediately showing a pitiful expression as he looked up at Lu Qingfeng with a sympathetic look.

Lu Qingfeng ruffled Ao Le's hair, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

The two spent a long time together.

Ao Le became increasingly attached to him and more childlike.

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng remained silent, Ao Le shifted her position, nestling in Lu Qingfeng arms, and whispered, "Le'er truly wants her husband and Su Mu to be intimate. That way, even if I'm no longer here—"

"You're talking nonsense again!"

Lu Qingfeng sensed something was amiss and quickly interrupted.

Ao Le, nestled in Lu Qingfeng's arms, tilted her head back, her face full of innocent charm.

Lu Qingfeng was both amused and annoyed. He reached out and grabbed a luminous pill from the air, which landed in his hand. Lu Qingfeng held the pill to Ao Le's lips and said, "This 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill' of yours can grant you 3,600 years of life with just one pill. With me here, how could I let you go first?"

As he spoke.

Lu Qingfeng picked up the elixir and was about to feed it to Ao Le when he said, "Although the spirit medicine for refining the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill' are hard to find, the generals of the Divine Censure Office and the demons are searching for them. General Zhang Shu likes to explore unknown and dangerous places, and he often sends spirit medicine over, so you're guaranteed not to run out."

Only.

Just as Dan was about to speak, Ao Le closed his mouth tightly.

Only his eyes were fixed on Lu Qingfeng.

Her eyes were clear and bright. Lu Qingfeng accidentally met her gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He dared not show it on his face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ao Le remained silent.

Lu Qingfeng held the elixir, examining it from all angles for a long time, growing increasingly puzzled. "But is there something wrong with this elixir?"

Ao Le then moved.

But he didn't open his mouth.

Instead, she grabbed Lu Qingfeng's arm and stood up, gently rolling up Lu Qingfeng long sleeve with her small hand. Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng panicked even more, trying to pull his arm away without showing any emotion, while still smiling and saying, "This is broad daylight, it's not appropriate."

Ao Le ignored him.

Grabbing Lu Qingfeng's arm to prevent him from moving, Lu Qingfeng then looked up. Only then did Lu Qingfeng see that Ao Le's eyes were already red, but she bit her lip to keep the tears from falling. She just looked at Lu Qingfeng and said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, please remove the Technique Method so that Le'er can take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Qingfeng rubbed his bare arms back and forth a few times, looking bewildered, and said, "What kind of Technique Method is this?"

"My husband's cultivation is profound; Le'er is naturally unable to see through the illusions he has set up."

"Le'er can feel it."

Ao Le looked somewhat stubborn as she glanced at Lu Qingfeng, took the so-called 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill', and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Le'er can feel that although my husband has cast many Law Techniques on this elixir, it still carries his aura. Le'er have been with my husband for over 50,000 years, and his aura cannot lie."

Lu Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

He still smiled and said, "I wonder what it is. This 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill' is something I painstakingly refined over sixty years. I did not rely on any outsiders during the process, so it is entirely my own essence."

"This pill should not be held for long; take it quickly."

As he spoke.

Lu Qingfeng reached out to take back the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill' and feed it to Ao Le.

But Ao Le held the elixir in his palm and shook his head, "That's not how it is."

"Can you remove the Law Technique and let Le'er see for herself?"

Ao Le bit her lip, which turned blood red, with a trace of blood seeping out, bright red and glaring. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Qingfeng, and her voice was already tinged with sobs.

"Le'er".

Lu Qingfeng reached out and gently wiped Ao Le's lips, his hand immediately becoming stained with blood.

Ao Le ignored him completely, her face full of pleading, "Husband, let Le'er take a look."

She gently stroked Lu Qingfeng's left arm with her hand; her palm was icy cold, but Lu Qingfeng felt nothing. His heart was filled with complex emotions, and seeing Ao Le's desperate pleas, Lu Qingfeng could no longer persist.

A thought crossed my mind.

Remove the illusion placed on the right arm.

The arms that were once as white as jade, with a rosy hue, had suddenly turned into White Bone. The White Bone were as white as jade, but without a trace of flesh or blood, starting from the palms and extending all the way to the shoulders.

"My husband."

"My husband."

Ao Le was prepared and not frightened. She only murmured softly, her voice trembling with sobs. Her hand stroked the White Bone, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, streamed down her face, landing on Lu Qingfeng's White Bone hand.

"It's nothing serious."

"I have already reached the Primordial Spirit Peak, and I only need to take another step to become True Immortal. Such physical injuries can be healed with a little care using the power of immortal energy."

Ao Le hugged Lu Qingfeng's right arm White Bone, while Lu Qingfeng wrapped his left arm around Ao Le and gently patted Ao Le's back to comfort him.

Ao Le couldn't stop crying.

Completely wet Lu Qingfeng's White Bone palm.

She lowered her head, looking at the White Bone hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Actually, when I first took the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Spirit Pill,' I felt my husband's aura in the elixir. At that time, I didn't pay attention and thought it was just as my husband said, that it was normal for an aura to remain after sixty years of alchemy."

"After taking the pill for the second time, I sensed my husband's presence again. He gave me the same excuse, but I knew it couldn't be true."

"After taking the elixir for the third time, when I slept with my husband, I often saw him in my dreams. He would smile at me, sometimes in a normal state, and sometimes his right arm would turn into White Bone."

Lu Qingfeng paused upon hearing this, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Ao Le wiped away her tears and continued talking.

"At first, only the palms were White Bone. Gradually, the forearms also became White Bone. Then the entire right arm, and the entire body, became White Bone."

"I want to hold onto my husband, but I just can't."

"I woke up in a panic."

As Ao Le recounted her story, Lu Qingfeng also recalled that in recent years, Ao Le had indeed frequently woken up in the middle of the night in terror. When asked, she would only say that she had nightmares. She would never say what she dreamed about.

Now it seems...

It's clear they had suspected it all along.

No wonder she insisted on having a child with him ten years ago.

Lu Qingfeng embraced Ao Le, feeling the tears soaking his clothes, their coolness intensifying. He forced a smile and said to Ao Le, "I cultivate the 'Mortal-World Longevity Method,' which can extend my life by 129,600 years. I am already Mortal-World Immortal, my physical body Tongxuan. My blood is the Longevity Blood, my flesh is the Longevity Flesh. Drinking a mouthful of blood can extend my life by a hundred years. Eating a mouthful of flesh can live for six hundred years. You and I are husband and wife, one body, I—"

As Ao Le listened, she looked up at Lu Qingfeng, her face already streaked with tears, her eyes red-rimmed, staring intently at Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng was immediately speechless.

Put yourself in their shoes.

If he were asked to feed on Ao Le's flesh and blood to survive, he certainly wouldn't do it.

But he had no choice.

Although Ao Le was born into the Dragon Race and possessed exceptional Root Bone, this was only relative to ordinary human cultivators. Once one reaches the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit Root Bone, the usefulness of talent diminishes.

More importantly, it depends on one's comprehension.

In this path, Ao Le's talent for cultivation is truly not high.

When Lu Qingfeng first entered the Chunshen Realm, Ao Le was stuck at the critical juncture of the Spell Gathering Realm Unity of Astral and Baleful Forces for hundreds of years.

Cultivating the Primordial Spirit is far more difficult than Core Formation stage.

Even with Lu Qingfeng constantly giving guidance and sometimes using magic to Enlightenment, and even though he traveled around searching, robbing, or stealing, he used every means to find all sorts of things that could help his cultivation.

He assisted Ao Le in his spiritual practice.

In the end, however, Ao Le remained stuck in the Primordial Spirit Integration Realm for nearly 20,000 years, finding it difficult to break through.
