Yao Zhu's Boudoir

Sea God Tang San wore a solemn expression. "Compared to the Running Great Method created by that Teacher of Ten Thousand Ages thirty thousand years ago, this technique is even more formidable."

"Wow!" Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. Not only could he avoid leaving his Brother Luo, but he could also obtain a powerful cultivation method to grow stronger.

A surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart. With the secret technique given by the old grandfather, I will be able to become stronger.

"Hehe."

Xie Xie, Gu Yue, if I become stronger—stronger than both of you—who do you think Brother Luo will choose?

For once, Tang Wulin felt arrogant in his heart. If not me, then who?

He hurriedly suppressed his excitement and asked, "Old grandfather, please tell me, what is this technique?"

"And how does one cultivate it?"

Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with longing.

Obtaining the technique meant obtaining his Brother Luo.

How could he not be eager?

Seeing Tang Wulin's reaction, a look of gratification appeared on Tang San's face.

The child was still teachable.

His son, the son of the Sea God, possessed the potential of the Golden Dragon.

"This technique is called the Sterilization Cultivation Method. Ordinary people are impure in their six senses and entangled in the mortal world, but once this method is implemented, it can help one increase cultivation efficiency and prevent unnecessary emotional investment."

"As your cultivation speed increases and your strength grows, you will be able to outpace the unsealing of the Eighteen Seals."

"Then, you will be safe."

Tang San slowly explained his peerless technique.

Tang Wulin listened intently at first, but as he heard the rest, he was completely stunned.

After Tang San finished speaking, Tang Wulin asked blankly, "So, old grandfather, you want me to be sterilized and end my family line?"

"You... you!"

"Old grandfather, when did I ever offend you that you would try to harm me like this?"

Tang San rebuked him sternly, "Nonsense! When did I ever ask you to end your family line? I want you to have a house full of children and grandchildren even more than you do."

"I proposed this method because I naturally have absolute certainty."

"I once had a friend whose daughter I performed a similar procedure on, splitting her into two."

"She eventually found a reliable partner as well."

"In the end, the girl merged back into one and became terrifyingly strong."

Tang Wulin was on the verge of tears. "Old grandfather, I'm just simple-minded, not stupid. Please stop trying to harm me."

Sigh, being overly strict is not good either.

Tang San's tone softened as he persuaded, "Don't worry, my blade technique is excellent and very fast."

"I guarantee you will feel no pain throughout the process."

"You will enjoy it happily."

Tang Wulin: "I..."

"Old grandfather, I'd better not. Enough said, I'm leaving."

After saying this, Tang Wulin slipped away without a trace.

He left only Tang San behind in the Soul Sea of Consciousness to sigh.

"Sigh, child, everything I do is for your own good."

"Why can't you understand?"

Tang San shouted with all his might, "Child, if you change your mind, you can come back and find me at any time."

"I will be here waiting for you."

"Even for a hundred years, I will wait."

Tang Wulin did not respond.

Sea God Tang San was like a lonely old man, guarding the Soul Sea of Consciousness all by himself.

He faced the same problem that Gu Yue had once faced.

He had no freedom.

His power had faded significantly.

Especially after encountering that mysterious powerhouse, Tang San had become nothing more than a... by the side of the road.

Without Tang Wulin's permission, he could not be released.

He would never be able to get out.

Li Luo returned to his dormitory. Like Gu Yue's, his was a single room.

Aside from him, there was no one else.

Li Luo sat cross-legged on his bed, pondering to himself. The Seven-Colored Mushroom planted by the Goddess of Life had become his second soul spirit.

However, this Seven-Colored Mushroom was truly poisonous.

Among the four people who had close contact with me, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue have all been hit.

If there are no accidents, the noble Spirit Pagoda Master, Leng Yaozhu, cannot avoid it either.

What a headache.

I suppose I'll have to find a time and an excuse to visit the East Sea Spirit Pagoda to resolve Leng Yaozhu's problem.

I just wonder what kind of situation will arise once Leng Yaozhu is infected by the spores?

At the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu lay limp on her bed.

The mushroom on her body had already grown to the size of a thumb.

Itchy!

Extremely itchy!

But that wasn't the most lethal part for her.

The most lethal thing was that every time she closed her eyes, she would enter a world of giving alms to Li Luo.

In the grasslands, in the fields, on the mountains, In a ruined temple, In the bustling, crowded streets, She was always giving alms.

Every time she broke free from that world, her entire body was drenched in sweat.

Leng Yaozhu already had a premonition that the very essence of her being was flowing away like water, and she had become weak to the extreme.

It was hard to say if she could even make it through the night.

But she was just so tired.

She closed her eyes once more, falling back into that dreamscape.

Giving alms~

Li Luo pushed his thoughts aside. Regardless, I have successfully absorbed the Seven-Colored Mushroom soul spirit.

"Whoosh!"

A purple light rose up.

I don't know if it's because my spiritual power is only at one hundred and ninety-nine—just an ordinary Spirit Connection Realm—but the soul ring brought by the Seven-Colored Mushroom soul spirit has only just reached a cultivation of twelve hundred years.

Furthermore, the increase in my soul power level is also very insignificant.

After absorbing the Seven-Colored Mushroom soul spirit, my soul power level only rose from level twenty to level twenty-two.

Sigh, the Goddess of Life really knows how to grow a mushroom.

There's absolutely no dignity of a god in this.

More importantly, the soul skill brought by absorbing the Seven-Colored Mushroom soul spirit hasn't manifested yet.

I guess I really have to wait until I resolve Leng Yaozhu's problem before the abilities brought by the Seven-Colored Mushroom soul spirit can manifest.

Li Luo took a brief inventory of himself and was just about to go to sleep.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

The Soul Guidance Communicator placed to the side rang. Li Luo picked it up and saw the caller ID was Leng Yaozhu from the Spirit Pagoda.

He answered.

Before he could even greet her, He heard Leng Yaozhu's voice come through, "Is that Li Luo? I have something I need to find you for."

"Are you free to come to the Spirit Pagoda right now?"

Li Luo looked outside; it was already pitch black.

The night was already very deep.

He had a premonition that something had gone terribly wrong with Leng Yaozhu.

But he still confirmed, "Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix, are you sure you mean right now?"

"Understood!" Leng Yaozhu's voice came through, seemingly carrying a hint of urgency.

"The East Sea Spirit Pagoda, top floor. I have already authorized your access; you can come straight up."

"Very well, Her Excellency Heavenly Phoenix."

Li Luo ended the call on the Soul Guidance Communicator, left the academy, and hailed a soul guidance taxi.

Before long, he arrived at the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

He then ascended to the top floor.

The metallic gate was tightly shut. Li Luo stepped forward. "Beep."

Facial recognition cleared him instantly.

The gate opened.

Li Luo walked inside.

He had expected the interior decor to match the metallic, high-tech modernity of the gate, but upon entering, he found the space arranged quite warmly.

The main hall was spacious and minimalist.

Li Luo scanned the area, but Leng Yaozhu was not in the hall. His gaze extended further until he spotted a room at the very back. The door was left ajar, and he could faintly see translucent curtains draped over a bed.

On the bed lay a graceful figure.
