Shen Ji frowned; he had no intention of relying on a demon to change his luck.
However, everyone found it strange. Nangong Gua might have been lucky, but Song Wuya was a true diviner. How could he not know there was a demon beside him?
How did Nangong Gua end up with Elder Bing?
[The two met hundreds of years later. Because of the mark left behind, Nangong recognized Elder Bing at a glance, but Elder Bing did not recognize him. He thought that Elder Bing was testing him, so he showered her with affection and finally won her Bing Yan, becoming one of her lovers.]
Several people expressed their incomprehension.
Isn't this the only one for me in my life?
Is this acceptable?
[Jin Chan has peculiar tastes; he enjoys the feeling of having an affair with his lover, as it gives him a thrill.]
The crowd was shocked and confused.
What kind of quirks are these?!
"Could this be his reason for marrying Madam Rushui?" Xiao Tingyu quietly asked Wen Zhi.
How wronged that lady must have felt!
[Just like when he married Madam Rushui, it was also because--]
Xiao Tingyu: As expected...
[Because the real Rushui had long since died; her body was now occupied by a Painted Skin Demon in disguise.]
[Jin Chan often had her transform into Elder Bing's appearance so they could meet secretly within the sect.]
Everyone:?!
this--
Madam Rushui isn't even human?!
What a pair of ghost couple!
While everyone was still in shock, Nangong said affectionately to Bing Yan, " A Yan, today, I have a secret to tell you."
Wow!
[He's going to confess!] Qiaoqiao's eyes widened. [For so long, Elder Bing still didn't know that the person she was with was a Golden Toad Demon! Ever since she was spat on, the golden toad has been her most disgusting demon!]
[Her fascination with Nangong's scent was actually influenced by the saliva from Jinchan.]
I can't even imagine what her expression will be after Nangong confesses.
[Aaaaaah!]
[So exciting!]
Qiaoqiao's eyes sparkled, and the others couldn't help but get excited too. This wasn't a confession scene at all; it was clearly a revelation of the truth! They just didn't know if Elder Bing could handle the shock!
Chapter 49 Tribulation Transcendence
Just as the group was anticipating the exciting confession, some unusual movements began to occur around them.
The two men on the hilltop were so engrossed in their activity that they didn't notice.
Meanwhile, the people on the hillside were even more engrossed in eating their melons and paid even less attention.
With deep affection, Commandant Nangong took out a brocade box from his storage ring. As the box was opened, a golden halo illuminated their faces, making the wrinkles on Elder Bing's face and Nangong's subtly forward-stretching neck even more distinct.
The onlookers wore expressions that were hard to describe.
"This is... Saint Pill?" Elder Bing was no stranger to this thing. What was refined in the Heaven-Melting Furnace was not a true Saint Pill, but Immortality Pill that turned people into Devil Creature. This was an unspoken fact among them.
Liu Xiu, Elder Liu, and the others were all lured here by the promise of the Saint Pill, and were merely pawns used to help them with their tasks and to test the pill's efficacy.
They had been trying to refine a true Saint Pill for a long time, but without success. When Nangong took out the brocade box, Bing Yan immediately noticed that the two pills inside were different from the previous ones. They were round and full of Spiritual Qi energy.
Nangong said, " A Yan, these two Saint Pill are specially left for you. Now that the Glazed Sea is closed and Liu Xian has cut off your connection with your subordinates, you are in a difficult situation... The Great Dao is hard to attain, but with these two Saint Pill, you can achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality."
His words were so True Intention that even the usually aloof Elder Bing was moved. "Leave the Saint Pill to me, and what about you?"
This is one of only two of these Saint Pill in the world.
Nangong was actually willing to leave this precious Saint Pill to her...
Nangong said, "Tonight the moon is full, and my power will greatly increase. After you take the Saint Pill, transfer a portion of your cultivation to me, and I will be able to break through the bottleneck of the Mahayana stage and ascend to immortality with you."
He was already at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm. On the night of the full moon, his cultivation was approaching the peak of the Mahayana realm. Elder Bing had taken two Saint Pill, and his cultivation was about to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm. At this moment, he would pour a portion of his cultivation into him to help him break through the bottleneck. The two of them could then undergo the Tribulation Transcendence realm together. As long as they successfully Tribulation Transcendence Transcending realm, they could ascend to sainthood and fulfill his wish to live happily ever after with Bing Yan.
Bing Yan did not answer immediately. As per Nangong's request, she was transferring her own cultivation to Nangong. She had to be careful with the amount; if she transferred too much, she herself would not be able to ascend; if she transferred too little, Nangong would not be able to break through his bottleneck.
However, this thing cannot be tested; the power must be transferred when the elixir has fully taken effect. If the opportunity is missed, all previous efforts will be wasted.
This method is certainly feasible, but the cultivation level and timing of the transfer of power must be flawless. It requires both parties to have sufficient understanding and trust in each other, and there can be no mistakes.
The question is... does she really trust Nangong that much?
They had been lovers for many years, and indeed, she felt more affection for Nangong than for her other lovers, because of the fragrance of the elixir he carried...
She never imagined that scents could be so captivating.
Therefore, the two were very compatible. She didn't even mind that Nangong had a dao companion. Although, according to Nangong, there was no affection between him and Rushui, Bing Yan never believed men's words.
How much trust does she actually have in Nangong?
Bing Yan lowered his head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
What if she ignored Nangong after taking the Saint Pill and directly attempted to transcend Tribulation Transcendence and ascend to immortality? In that case, her chances of ascension would be even greater.
"The secret you said you'd tell me is the Saint Pill?" she asked softly.
She rarely showed such tenderness, and Nangong was very pleased. Suddenly, an even better idea came to him—if he told A Yan during his ascension that he was the golden toad she had saved years ago, wouldn't she be even more moved?
