Beginner's Gift Pack, Yunxiao's Condition

Finally, it was done.

Lu Changsheng nearly wept with relief.

If Yunxiao hadn't changed her tune, he really wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.

But thankfully, he had still managed to activate the system.

Now, while taking this time to heal his injuries, he would first take a brief look at what the Beginner's Gift Pack contained.

[Congratulations, Host, for opening the Beginner's Gift Pack and obtaining: one Three Revolutions Green Spirit Pill, one Xuanhuang Lingxue Guo, one copy of Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes, and one Ling Yun Jian]

Lu Changsheng's heart leaped with joy. The contents of the gift pack were even richer than he had imagined.

The next moment, a light screen that only he could see slowly materialized.

On that light screen was a detailed introduction to the gift pack's contents.

This system was actually quite considerate.

He was eager to see just what use these items from the gift pack would be.

The Three Revolutions Green Spirit Pill could heal any injury short of a fatal one for anyone below the Golden Immortal realm.

This was exactly what Lu Changsheng needed right now. Although the pill Yunxiao had given him was decent, it couldn't fully resolve his injuries.

But this Three Revolutions Green Spirit Pill could allow him to recover completely in the shortest possible time.

Next was the Xuanhuang Lingxue Guo, which was an Innate Spiritual Root.

Though it wasn't one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots known in the Honghuang, its effects were still excellent.

After consuming it, one's Genjiao could be elevated to the level of a Xiantian Lifeform.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng could barely contain himself, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

If the Three Revolutions Green Spirit Pill was meant to solve his current injury problem, then the Xuanhuang Lingxue Guo gave his future limitless possibilities.

The word "Genjiao" might sound simple, but it largely determined the upper limit of all cultivators in the Honghuang.

Take the Original Host of this physical body—why couldn't he even break through to the mere Heavenly Immortal realm?

Was it because he hadn't worked hard enough?

No.

Aside from cultivation resources, the biggest problem lay in his Genjiao.

The original Lu Changsheng, being of the Human Race, had a Genjiao that was at the very bottom tier—a Houtian Genjiao.

That was precisely why even breaking through to Heavenly Immortal was extremely difficult for him.

But now, with this Xuanhuang Lingxue Guo, as long as he elevated his Genjiao to the Xiantian level, then a mere Heavenly Immortal would be no problem at all.

This system's Beginner's Gift Pack, while not letting him reach the heavens in one step, still made his future promising.

And the gift pack's contents weren't over yet. Lu Changsheng continued reading.

Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes—an extremely profound Lightning Magic Divine Ability.

Cultivate the supreme Thunder Eyes, shatter all illusions and falsehoods.

What caught Lu Changsheng's attention was that the Nine Heavens Thunder Eyes was an incomplete scroll.

The system was stingy enough—giving a divine ability but not even providing the full version.

"Then what's the complete one?"

[With the Host's current authority level, this cannot be queried. Please work hard to raise your cultivation.]

Lu Changsheng was covered in Black Lines.

Forget he asked. His gaze shifted to the last item, the introduction to the Ling Yun Jian.

As the name suggested, it was a sword-type Magic Treasure.

But what surprised Lu Changsheng was that this was actually an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

An Innate Spiritual Treasure naturally couldn't compare to a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure or an Innate Supreme Treasure.

But don't forget what Lu Changsheng's current cultivation was.

Earth Immortal!

Generally speaking, for an Earth Immortal to possess even a Houtian Lingbao was already quite difficult, let alone an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

By now, the corners of Lu Changsheng's mouth were practically reaching his ears.

Pills, Genjiao, divine abilities, and Magic Treasures—all were accounted for.

This Beginner's Gift Pack seemed almost tailor-made for him.

And while he was examining the Beginner's Gift Pack, Yunxiao's gaze remained fixed on him.

Earlier, everything had happened so suddenly that she hadn't had a chance to look him over properly.

Now, calming her mind and looking closely, she finally noticed.

Although Lu Changsheng's cultivation was not high, his appearance was quite handsome.

Having such a Dao Companion was quite pleasing to the eye.

No!

Yunxiao suddenly remembered the problem.

She had just warned Bixiao not to be distracted by thoughts of Dao Companions or the like, and now she herself had formed a Dao Companion bond with Lu Changsheng.

If Bixiao found out, how could she ever discipline her little sister again?

At any rate, Lu Changsheng's injuries had been stabilized by the medicine, and his life was no longer in danger.

Perhaps she should dissolve the Dao Companion bond now?

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly saw the corners of Lu Changsheng's mouth lift slightly, then break into a wildly joyful smile.

Yunxiao was startled.

Was Lu Changsheng really that happy to become her Dao Companion?

It seemed she would have to think of a solution that satisfied both sides.

Yunxiao pondered for a moment, then a Flash of Inspiration struck her, and she had an idea.

"Lu Changsheng, regarding the relationship between you and me..."

Before she could finish, Lu Changsheng immediately opened his eyes.

"Surely you're not going back on your word, Fairy?!"

Yunxiao shot Lu Changsheng a glare.

"Do I seem like the kind of person who goes back on her word?"

Lu Changsheng smiled.

"Then what did you want to say?"

"We are Dao Companions now—there's nothing you can't say to me."

Yunxiao said seriously.

"Although I agreed to become your Dao Companion, I have two conditions."

"First, I don't require my Dao Companion to be a Quasi-Saint or a Daluo, but he cannot be an Earth Immortal either."

"If, after a Thousand Years, you cannot achieve Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, then our Dao Companion bond will be dissolved."

"Do you have any objections?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

"None."

"Rest assured, I will not only achieve Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, but I will also become stronger than you."

"If I cannot protect my own Dao Companion, then what meaning does my cultivation have?"

If it were before, achieving Primordial Unity Golden Immortal in a Thousand Years would naturally be impossible.

But now, the system had been activated.

If, with the system's help, he couldn't achieve Primordial Unity Golden Immortal in a Thousand Years, then his transmigration would be a complete failure.

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Yunxiao was slightly dazed.

An Earth Immortal was actually saying he would protect her, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?

Achieving Primordial Unity Golden Immortal in a Thousand Years, while not impossible, was still quite difficult.

Especially for Lu Changsheng, given his current foundation and cultivation level, to achieve Primordial Unity Golden Immortal...

It could only be said: difficult!

She had hoped to use this method to dissolve her Dao Companion bond with Lu Changsheng.

"Second, the Jie Sect is currently in a special period, so our relationship cannot be made public for now."

"In particular, my Little Sister Bixiao must not know for the time being."

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

"Agreed."

After all, they were already Dao Companions; not announcing it for a Short Time was no big deal.

"But what do you mean by 'special period'?"

Yunxiao briefly explained the situation at Biyou Palace.

"Recently, all Jie Sect Disciples must cultivate diligently to strengthen the Jie Sect's reputation."

"Additionally, the Cultivation Resources distributed to Jie Sect Disciples next time will be greatly increased. You must seize this opportunity."

"If you can receive even a little guidance from the Master, it will surely be of immense benefit."

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

Cultivation resources and guidance from a Saint—that's not bad.

"Since you've laid out your terms, shouldn't we do what Dao Companions do?"

Lu Changsheng's words left Yunxiao completely baffled.

"Wh-what do Dao Companions do?"

Her understanding of Dao Companions was limited to the term itself.

And her bewildered expression only piqued Lu Changsheng's interest.

"It's fine if you don't know. I do."

"Just close your eyes."

"Hm?"

Though doubtful, Yunxiao still closed her eyes.

Under this uncertainty, she was unusually tense, her long lashes trembling uncontrollably.

She could feel Lu Changsheng drawing closer.

Was it coming?

She could even sense his breath.

Did they need to be this close?

What exactly did Dao Companions do?

But the next moment, Yunxiao sensed something off.

She opened her eyes, only to find Lu Changsheng already at the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

"Looks like you're not ready yet. We'll save it for next time."

"I'll head back to cultivate first."

As his voice reached her, Lu Changsheng's figure had already vanished.

Yunxiao stood frozen in place, a flicker of anger in her beautiful eyes.

This Lu Changsheng dared to toy with her?!

Yet amid her indignation, why was there a trace of disappointment deep inside?

How did she end up with a Dao Companion?

Before long, two figures entered from outside the cave.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao had returned.

"Eldest Sister, I'm back."

Bixiao came to Yunxiao's side and, noticing her distracted demeanor, asked curiously.

"Eldest Sister, what's wrong?"

Snapping back to reality, Yunxiao looked at Bixiao, her gaze unconsciously dodging.

"N-nothing."

She couldn't help it—in front of Bixiao, the matter of Dao Companions made her feel as if she'd done something wrong.

"Good to hear. These are the Natural Treasures Second Sister and I found. How should we set up the formation next?"

Bixiao didn't dwell on it and simply took out the various Natural Treasures.

"Go refine these Natural Treasures with Magic Power."

Yunxiao assigned Bixiao a task.

Bixiao immediately headed deeper into the Cave Mansion.

Qiongxiao walked over to Yunxiao.

"Eldest Sister, are you really alright?"

The carefree Bixiao might not have noticed anything, but Qiongxiao could sense Yunxiao's unease.

Yunxiao shook her head.

"It's nothing."

"By the way, do you know what Dao Companions usually do together?"

Qiongxiao was taken aback, unsure why Yunxiao was asking this.

But after a moment, she spoke.

"Actually, I don't know much, but Dao Companions among Cultivators are like husband and wife among mortals."

"They usually live together, have children, and—"

Before she could finish, Yunxiao let out a startled cry.

"What did you say?!"
