335 Hope

Just as Lu Li was lost in thought, Xia Weiyin said with a smile:

"At least I've caught up in cultivation, so it wasn't for nothing that you called me 'sister'."

Li Yuanzhong stroked his beard and laughed:

"With your 'Out-of-Body' technique paired with your 'Innate' technique, you two are even more well-matched. On your wedding day, I will impart to you the Manifestation as part of your dowry."

"The Manifestation Method..."

Lu Li couldn't help but smile wryly to himself; this was exactly what was troubling him...

However, this was a time for celebration, so he didn't reveal his feelings and quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly:

"Thank you so much for your generous gift, Master! I am deeply grateful!"

Li Yuanzhong smiled and nodded, but Xia Weijun muttered to herself:

"Master has a good plan; he'll get rid of me without giving a single penny."

Li Yuanzhong glared and said:

"You made this request yourself when you first returned to the sect."

"Eh..."

Xia Weiyin thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

But since her young husband is so generous to her, readily giving her whatever he wants, she should try to get more benefits for him.

Xia Weiyin's eyes darted around, trying to figure out what else her master could possibly be thinking about...

Li Yuanzhong sighed, "Girls are more outgoing," and then suddenly remembered something.

He glanced at Lu Li's broken leg and said:

"Brother Zhenyangzi will also be attending the wedding. His Tai Chi Palace lineage possesses a 'Life Creation Pill' that can regenerate severed limbs. We might as well ask for one then."

Zhenyangzi of the Tai Chi Palace was the Grandmaster had previously ventured into the Changbai Spiritual Realm with Li Yuanzhong!

Xia Weiyin and Xiao Cha's eyes lit up, and Lu Li clenched his fists!

This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it!

He quickly said:

"To be honest, I'm also worried about this. After all, I'll be asking for their help. What preparations do I need to make?"

"Brother Zhenyangzi is one of us, so there's no need to prepare anything special... However, he likes strong liquor."

When the topic of alcohol came up, Li Yuanzhong's expression became somewhat strange.

Xia Weiyin whispered from the side:

"Zhenyangzi's Mountain Gate — Tai Chi Palace —was located in Jilin... It was tragically breached by the People of Izumo during the Jiawu Year, and his entire family was killed. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day..."

For a moment, the room fell silent; Lu Li hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

After a moment, Li Yuanzhong sighed and said:

"There's no point in saying more now... Yun'er, focus on consolidating your cultivation. Perhaps one day you'll be able to avenge your uncle's blood feud."

"I understand."

Xia Weiyin bowed and respectfully saw Li Yuanzhong off.

As soon as her master left, she quickly said to Lu Li:

"There's still a week until the wedding. Use that Spiritual Jade Pot to brew some fine wine, and add a little spiritual energy... and the 'Life Creation Pill' will be a sure thing!"

As a direct disciple of Grandmaster, Xia Weiyin naturally knew the disadvantages of physical disability, so she was even more proactive than Lu Li himself.

Xiao Cha suggested from the side, "Should we prepare some Calming Essential Oil as well?"

"It's not impossible, but Uncle-Master Zhenyangzi only has the Refining Spirit Refinement cultivation level of Meditative Entry meditation, so it won't be very useful... We should stick to wine."

Xia Weiyin rushed out, shouting, "I'm going to get some good wine to start the meal!"

She insisted on handling the matter personally to ensure nothing went wrong, and before she finished speaking, she vanished.

This older sister is also straightforward, which suits Lu Li's temperament very well.

He smiled, his anticipation for the wedding a week from now growing stronger.

It's not just the Life Creation Pill; this sexy and passionate older sister is also a wonderful thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

With their sect gaining a new innate expert, the members of the Dragon Gate Sect naturally wouldn't keep it a secret; they would definitely spread the news far and wide.

After the news spread, countless people envied Lu Li's fortunate circumstances.

Xia Weijun was a renowned beauty, also known as the Jade Rakshasa.

She's a direct disciple of Grandmaster, and her looks, talent, and background are all top-notch. She'd be absolutely stunning in any room she'd be in!

This marriage quickly became the hottest topic of conversation.

Many who considered themselves important planned to visit the Dragon Gate Sect that day to see what it was all about.

However, there is another thing that is also talked about, namely that Xia Weijun previously became a nun.

"Jade Rakshasa was originally supposed to marry the Governor's Young Master. For some reason, she was unwilling and went to be a nun for many years."

"I know about this too. It caused quite a stir, and True Master Li and Governor Shen have become quite estranged."

"She was only at the Blood Exchange realm back then... Why did she look down on Young Master Shen? He's a Azure Dragon!"

While the outside world was bustling with noise, Lu Li lived a very leisurely life in Qixia Mountain.

Xia Weiyin acquired eight jars of "Xinghuacun," a famous Fenjiu liquor.

"Zhenyangzi likes to drink Fenjiu, so this will definitely keep it safe."

Together with Xiao Cha, she poured the eight jars of wine into the "Spiritual Jade Pot".

This pot, when filled with plain water and left overnight, will transform into fine wine. Adding real fine wine will only elevate the wine to a whole new level, turning it into a divine elixir.

However, it takes about 3 hours of catalysis. The two girls were very patient, slowly transforming the teapot by pot.

Lu Li, meanwhile, stayed by Wan Qing's bedside, refining her acupoints.

This girl absorbed a staggering 100 units of spiritual energy, which she needs to refine through a period of dormancy.

Lu Li would occasionally activate his Heavenly Eye to investigate, and he saw the Vermilion Bird, swimming in flames within his Sea of Consciousness.

He continuously expanded this place to increase his Spirit Refinement cultivation, and also used spiritual energy to cleanse Wan Qing's bone marrow.

The girl is progressing through the Marrow Cleansing realm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Based on this pace, Lu Li calculated:

"One hundred units of spiritual energy... that's roughly enough to help Wan Qing advance to the Out-of-Body Realm and undergo a blood transfusion."

To an outsider, it would definitely seem like a huge loss.

One hundred units of spiritual energy, decades of accumulation for a sect like the Jiu Shan Sect, and it took them all to create a Soul-Separating Blood Transformation?

But Lu Li thought it was a good idea. As long as it would benefit Wan Qing, he would be willing to give up 10 times more.

Lu Li kissed the girl on the cheek and continued with his cultivation.

Ironically, without a calf, six meridians are incomplete, and 150 acupoints do not require purification.

Lu Li's Martial Arts progress has been quite rapid; he's already preparing to refine his "Ren Meridian."

The Ren and Du meridians are cultivated in the late stage of the Blood Exchange realm, and this situation is definitely not a good thing.

Massaging acupoints can improve health for ordinary people, while martial artists can further strengthen their entire body by using Internal Breath energy to refine and stimulate acupoints.

By practicing 150 fewer techniques, physical fitness, total Internal Breath output, and purity will be 40% lower than if done out of thin air!

This is also the key reason why Lu Li, despite possessing a wealth of spiritual energy, is unable to advance to the Innate Realm.

He glanced at the prosthetic leg he had conjured with his mind; it was incredibly lifelike, but it lacked the most important organ for cultivation, making it merely a facade.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better...

"The Life Creation Pill!"

With hope at hand, Lu Li rallied his spirits and began to refine the "Huiyin acupoint" on his Ren Meridian.

This acupoint regulates menstruation, strengthens the kidneys, and restores yang energy, greatly enhancing male fertility.

After all, Sister Xia was born with a natural advantage, so her physique was already much stronger.

She's also exceptionally beautiful and sexy, a real stunner, and the kind with high fighting power.

Lu Li wanted to be prepared for any eventuality, lest he be cut in half by the bride and become a laughingstock.

Of course, there's a touch of finding joy in hardship here.

The only way to refine the Ren Meridian is from here; there is no other choice.

Lu Li continued his Martial Arts training with a helpless and nonchalant attitude, looking forward to the wedding.

However, what is lost on one front is gained on another; there have been gains in Spirit Refinement and practice.
