Four Hundred Years of Craving

"Good."

Chen Nianzhi was stunned for a moment before she finally realized what was happening.

He took Jiang Linglong's hand and said with a smile, "Right now, the priority is to overcome the Lightning Tribulation. Let's talk about it after you've passed the Lightning Tribulation."

Hearing him say that, a smile finally appeared in Jiang Linglong's eyes.

The main reason why the two of them haven't practiced dual cultivation all these years is that they want to retain pure Yin and pure Yang, so as to increase their chances of breaking through at crucial moments.

Now that they have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Linglong feels that their foundations are both solid, and they do not need to rely on the power of pure Yin or pure Yang to break through. Instead, they might as well cultivate together to improve their cultivation.

It is foreseeable that, given their current cultivation levels, if they were to obtain each other's pure Yin and pure Yang power, their magical strength would undoubtedly experience a significant boost.

She didn't say anything, and walked out of the Seclusion Chamber with a smile.

When she looked up, she saw rolling clouds in the sky, and the Nascent Soul tribulation had been brewing for a long time.

Be careful.

Chen Nianzhi frowned and couldn't help but give her some advice.

Jiang Linglong nodded, then stepped into the void to begin undergoing the Nascent Soul tribulation.

Like Chen Nianzhi's Lightning Tribulation, her Lightning Tribulation was also the Nine-Heavens Thunder Tribulation. However, she also possessed several natal Life-bound Spirit Treasure, so passing through this Nine-Heavens Thunder Tribulation wasn't too difficult for her.

It didn't take long for Jiang Linglong to survive the Nine-Heavens Thunder Tribulation and descend from the sky.

Congratulations!

Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, Chen Nianzhi and her husband, beaming with pride, hosted a Nascent Soul banquet.

The banquet lasted for seven days, during which the two personally hosted several True Lord, including Yan Ziji, before gradually concluding.

After everyone had left, the two returned to the Spirit Spring Cave.

Chen Nianzhi closed the cave door before she and Jiang Linglong looked at each other.

Jiang Linglong possessed a captivating and graceful figure. Her slender waist and long legs, as well as her appearance and physique, were all exceptionally beautiful, a rare find indeed. It would not be an exaggeration to call her an unparalleled beauty.

Faced with such a stunning beauty, he couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry and his heart start to race.

"Giggle--"

Jiang Linglong's breathing was initially a little rapid, and she looked quite nervous, but after seeing his expression, she suddenly giggled.

She grabbed Chen Nianzhi, pushed him down onto the bed, and leaned in, saying, "Little man, I've been lusting after you for four hundred years. Let's see where you run to today."

Chen Nianzhi: "..."

Without saying a word, he grabbed her slender waist and rolled over to press down on her.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of pure Pure Yin energy rushed up, which rapidly consolidated his newly broken-through cultivation level and caused it to begin to soar rapidly.

In just a moment, he felt his Law Power surge, almost reaching the threshold of the second level of the Nascent Soul.

"Such pure Primordial Yin energy."

Chen Nianzhi gasped, almost losing control.

He quickly composed himself, looked at the stunningly beautiful figure before him, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"..."

Chen Nianzhi opened his eyes and looked at the peerless beauty sleeping soundly in his arms, a hint of pity appearing on his face.

Both were high-level cultivators with extraordinary physiques and energy far exceeding ordinary imagination. They also had accumulated chastity desires for hundreds of years, which were difficult to control once unleashed.

They had been working tirelessly for over a month, and only stopped yesterday when they felt completely exhausted.

When Chen Nianzhi calmed her mind from her desires, she discovered that not only had her cultivation been consolidated through dual cultivation, but she had also broken through to the Nascent Soul Second Layer realm.

This is already quite astonishing, because the resources required to break through after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm are extremely vast. Usually, an ordinary True Lord needs three hundred years to advance even one level of cultivation.

For a cultivator like Chen Nianzhi, who possesses five natal Life-bound Magical Treasure, it would take ten Jiazi (a unit of time in Chinese calendar) to break through to the next level.

After this dual cultivation, they saved a full six hundred years of arduous cultivation, demonstrating the remarkable effectiveness of this practice.

However, this was their first time practicing dual cultivation, and they received each other's Primordial Yin and Primordial Yang. In the future, their dual cultivation will not proceed as quickly.

Just as Chen Nianzhi was pondering, Jiang Linglong woke up. She glanced at Chen Nianzhi and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about cultivation."

Chen Nianzhi began speaking, then added, "After you and I break through to the True Lord realm, the resources required for cultivation will increase more than tenfold. If we want to accelerate our cultivation, we'll need to consume even more resources."

"Don't worry," Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "The Spirit Peach Tree in Spirit Isle Lake is about to advance. Once it's fully advanced, our Cultivation Resources won't be a big problem."

"Um."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, his gaze turning slightly cold as he mentioned the Spirit Peach Tree, and then said, "Daoist Han Chuan took the Spirit Apricot Tree; we should also understand the Karmic Retribution of this."

"And it's good that things are settled with the Qin Clan as well."

"Um."

Jiang Linglong nodded and was about to get up and put on her clothes when she suddenly gasped.

She gave Chen Nianzhi a reproachful look and rolled her eyes, saying, "Why are you always causing so much trouble?"

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and jokingly said, "Someone keeps saying he's been craving me for four hundred years, but it turns out he's all bark and no bite."

"You..."

After the two had rested for a few days, Chen Nianzhi finally emerged from the cave.

After leaving the Seclusion Chamber, he found the Old Clan Leader and asked directly, "How are Daoist Han Chuan and the Qin Clan doing?"

Chen Changxuan handed a letter to Chen Nianzhi and said, "Daoist Han Chuan is far away in the Vast Sea, and we have no way of knowing his whereabouts."

"However, the Qin Clan has kept a very low profile in recent years, and neither of their True Lord has left the Lineage's Daoist temple."

"Uncle, you've worked hard." Chen Nianzhi nodded after reading the letter, then said, "I'm preparing for a battle against the Qin Clan to settle old scores and Karmic Retribution."

"However, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. I wonder if the Five Elements Essence accumulated by the Lineage over the years can be used to upgrade a few Middle-Tier Spirit Treasure?"

Chen Changxuan had clearly been preparing for a long time; he took out an account book and handed it to Chen Nianzhi.

When Chen Nianzhi opened it, he discovered that the ledger belonged to the Lineage treasury, and the most important resource in the Chen Lineage treasury was the Five Elements Essence.

Since Chen Nianzhi went to the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, the Chen Clan has not only been producing Five Elements Essence every year, but also spending millions of Spirit Stone every year to continuously acquire Five Elements Essence throughout the Ji Continent.

The annual expenditure on acquiring the Five Elements Essence is already the largest expenditure for the Chen Clan, even approaching the total salary of the Chen Clan cultivators.

Now, sixty years have passed, Five Elements Essence accumulated by the Chen Clan is worth fifty million Spirit Stone, enough to refine five Life-bound Spirit Treasure or upgrade two Middle-Tier Spirit Treasure with some left over.
