458: Aftermath

Qiu Yan debuted at the age of 18 and has served as the "World Walker" for the Huashan Sect for 12 years.

This position is equivalent to the Huashan Sect's spokesperson or diplomat to the outside world.

With her extraordinary birth and beauty, Fairy Qiu has always been at ease, attracting many suitors to her side.

Even Jiang Shixiang, the Governor of Jinmen, was one of the many suitors who longed to win her heart but could not.

But at this moment, this pure and innocent fairy was... brutally violated.

There was no romance, not even a hint of beauty; it was just the chaotic, clanging of dump trucks.

Having suffered such Great Tribulation, Qiu Yan gritted her teeth, her heart filled with deep hatred!

What she resented was losing her virginity, which caused her value to plummet and her former charisma to command respect.

This is worse than killing her.

Jiang Haiyan watched helplessly as his master was humiliated, feeling both shocked and utterly bewildered:

What exactly happened? Why didn't Master resist? He didn't even utter a single rebuke!?

If his father ever overstepped his bounds, his master would immediately glare at him and give him a cold look.

No matter how capable this man surnamed Lu is, he shouldn't be able to make a direct descendant of the Huashan Sect endure humiliation and disgrace.

Those who can endure what ordinary people cannot naturally have greater ambitions!

At this moment, Qiu Yan dared not even show any resentment, let alone hatred, and gritted her teeth to endure the picking.

Lu Li retreated with a soft thud after he had absorbed enough Yin Yuan.

Qiu Yan straightened up, her hair disheveled, and smiled charmingly:

"True Lord, you are indeed exceptionally gifted. I admire you greatly. We have known each other for many years, and today we can finally say that our friendship has come to fruition."

Back then, the fairy was arrogant and domineering, and even smoked; now she's been played and has to smile obsequiously.

"It just goes to show how unpredictable life is." Lu Li nodded and said, "Thank you for your Yin Essence."

"It is my blessing to be chosen by the True Lord."

Qiu Yan smiled politely and then clutched her stomach, saying:

"However, having just tasted it, I feel somewhat unwell and must take my leave. Please forgive me."

Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back and rest."

"This concubine takes her leave."

Qiu Yan smiled, gave a Wanfu Ceremony, and quickly left with Jiang Haiyan.

Just before leaving, he glanced casually at the <Lightning Refining True Analysis> in Lu Li's hand out of the corner of his eye.

Qiu Yan's clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy, but she always had a smile on her face.

But as soon as she got away from the Governor of the Two Rivers, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by resentment and malice!

"That bitch Su Qing!"

Qiu Yan slapped a tree in half, her beautiful face contorted as she said:

"That Lu fellow only likes plump women. He must have been instigated by that bitch Su to suddenly ruin me! That bitch herself is a slut, so she can't stand to see others doing well!"

Both women followed the fairy-like path, and their daily rivalry and underhanded tactics had only intensified, making them mortal enemies.

After cursing for a while, Qiu Yan ordered Jiang Haiyan to fetch clean water to wash her lower body.

Jiang Haiyan, who was serving nearby, tentatively asked in a low voice:

"Master will definitely not let that bitch Su off easily, nor will he let that Lu fellow off lightly."

After all, she was the Governor's daughter, Jiang Haiyan vaguely realized that her master, or rather the Huashan Sect, had bigger ambitions.

Qiu Yan glanced at her and sneered:

"Even with Lu Li's extraordinary talent, he ultimately missed the initiative. No matter how hard he tries, it's just adding more flavor to his own situation to make it more palatable."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Haoqing's voice echoed in Qiu Yan's mind:

[Has the cheat code been sent out?]

Qiu Yan replied respectfully, "Reporting to the sect leader, it has already been given to him."

[Well done, come back, I'll personally help you break through to the Golden Body]

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader!"

Qiu Yan's face lit up with ecstatic joy, and she even forgot the pain of losing her virginity.

~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, Lu Li was looking through the <Lightning Refining True Analysis> that Qiu Yan had sent him.

This book discusses breaking through the tribulation of lightning, and it is very similar to the Mount Tai Sect's "The Heaven and Earth Are Not Benevolent Scripture," but both mention "the Spirit-Flesh Unity"!

Through the tempering of heavenly lightning, the Divine Soul and body are united as one.

In this way, one can abandon the useless physical body and focus on the Divine Soul. Moreover, with the physical body as a barrier, it is easier to pass the tribulation of lightning.

This sounds very reasonable, and having personally experienced the terror of otherworldly lightning, a normal person would definitely believe in the "Spirit-Flesh Unity".

With the information provided by Su Qing, Lu Li knew from the beginning that the immortal sects had ill intentions, which only made him more certain that there was something wrong with the "Spirit-Flesh Unity".

Even Su Qing could see it, and said:

"Both families want you to achieve 'Spirit-Flesh Unity,' clearly trying to trap you on this. Moreover, the secret manual is nine parts true and one part false; it's truly insidious."

The two manuals sent by the two families were 99% true, except for the part about "Spirit-Flesh Unity," which was fake and impossible to guard against.

But this only strengthened Lu Li's resolve:

"Indeed, Spirit Refinement and Martial Arts simultaneously is the right path, but... it's a bit difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, even a donkey can find a way!"

Su Qing had complete confidence in him and asked with a smile, "So, how's it going? Isn't being a direct descendant of a cultivation sect fun?"

Lu Li said calmly, "It's alright... I didn't want to do this in the first place, but you've corrupted me."

"Damn it! You're shameless!"

Su Qing pinched Lu Li's waist and said disdainfully, "You're backing down now that you've had your fun? You were really putting in a lot of effort just now!"

"It was just to vent my anger. I've disliked that woman for a long time... Let's not talk about it now."

Lu Li summoned the Kunlun Mirror, took out several Spirit Fruits, and said:

"This was given to me by the Dragon Girl. I saved some for you... Oh, and the Merit Golden Lotus too."

In the blink of an eye, Su Qing had several Spirit Fruits in her hand, and golden lotuses floated around her, numbering in the hundreds.

Su Qing was somewhat stunned...

To obtain resources of this caliber, one would have to endure humiliation, submit to subservience, and fight tooth and nail.

But now, someone is bringing it over voluntarily.

At this moment, Lu Li urged, "Eat quickly!"

Su Qing snapped out of her daze, tucked the Spirit Fruit into her bosom, and said:

"My parents are getting old, I'd better leave it to them."

The Dragon Girl's Spirit Fruit not only aids in cultivation but also has the miraculous effect of prolonging life.

Lu Li naturally wouldn't interfere with Su Qing's filial piety, so he said, "Then you keep these Merit Golden Lotus."

"You recently gave me 100 million merit points, and I've only refined a little over 20% of them..."

Su Qing looked helpless and full of emotion, never expecting that she would have a time when she had an abundance of resources.

With her small frame, refining 100 million units of willpower was already her limit; how could she possibly consume hundreds more golden lotuses?

Lu Li said, "The power of vows is too mixed and can't be considered a good thing. I suggest you empty it completely and cultivate using only the Golden Lotus."

"No way! That's such a waste!"

Having grown accustomed to a life of hardship, Su Qing instinctively refused.

But Lu Li was determined and said in a firm tone:

"Why use something inferior when you have something better? Listen to me, abandon your vows, use the Golden Lotus! Hurry up!"

Despite the domineering words, Su Qing accepted them with relish, feeling a deep sense of sweetness.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

She circulated her internal energy, channeling the surging power of her vows into Chaohu Lake, causing the lake water to ripple with a faint mist.

After making room, he opened his mouth and sucked in 50 golden lotuses.

"This is all I can eat."

Su Qing patted his stomach and said, "After a while, I'll activate one of the Fusion Acupoint and see how the sect reacts."

She doesn't have the surname Liu, and she's not related to the higher-ups of the Mount Tai Sect by blood, so she doesn't dare to become stronger recklessly.

Lu Li sighed, his desire for the tribulation growing stronger; only with power could he live a free and unrestrained life.

But if everything is digitized, a single bolt of lightning can take away 20% of your own health!

Surviving the tribulation of lightning was extremely difficult, and Lu Li had little confidence in his ability to do so.
