Chapter 80

Ning Xu had already entered the Peak of Qi Cultivation for several months. After arriving in Xingtao City, she had never neglected her cultivation.

This time, she had learned a lot from the battle between high-level cultivators. Building the foundation could be said to be a natural progression.

At this moment, spiritual energy crazily surged into her body, her momentum rising steadily. She sat down on the ground, closed her eyes, and began to build her foundation.

The Innocent Cultivator immediately stood up to protect her.

Wu Luchen, upon seeing this, obediently stood to her right. Qingjiu Xian and Qin Riluo also did not fall behind and quickly found positions to stand.

Thus, the four directions—north, south, east, and west—around Ning Xu were all protected by someone.

The Wu Family Patriarch waved his hand, signaling his disciples to step back a little to avoid disturbing Ning Xu.

A disciple of the Wu Family, with a face full of envy, said, “I also really want to build my foundation.”

Another disciple, equally envious, said, “Who doesn’t want that?”

If they knew that Ning Xu had only been on the path of cultivation for less than half a year, they would probably be so jealous their eyes would turn red.

At this time, the battle inside the barrier had reached its most critical point. Lan Chun was struggling, completely in a state of desperation. One wrong move, and she might lose her life here today.

Seeing that Wu Chichun was really trying to take her life, Lan Chun desperately dodged the killing moves aimed at her while simultaneously launching emotional attacks on Wu Chichun.

“Wu Lang, we’ve been in love for a hundred years, how could it come to this?!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Chichun’s already cold expression turned even colder, his face resembling an ice sheet, freezing and terrifying.

Without a word, he hurled various spiritual weapons he had crafted, using action to express his determination to strangle Lan Chun right there.

Such ruthless tactics made Lan Chun tremble with fear.

“Wu Lang, how could you be so cruel?”

Wu Chichun retorted coldly, “When it comes to cruelty, I’m nowhere near you.”

Realizing that things couldn’t be resolved peacefully today, Lan Chun also turned ruthless.

She turned her head to avoid a certain melody, but still had her cheek scratched, with blood slowly dripping down her side, making her look even more tragic and fierce. “You’ve really forgotten all our old feelings, haven’t you?”

Wu Chichun sneered, “What old feelings do we have?”

A hint of desperation appeared in Lan Chun’s eyes. “Fine, since that’s how it is, I won’t hold back. But I won’t leave you alive. If I can go with you to the underworld, then I have no regrets in this life.”

“After all, Wu Lang, I truly love your body.”

“I love the mole on your collarbone, I love you…”

Wu Chichun’s face turned ashen. “Shut up!”

But Lan Chun continued, unconcerned, sharing details of their passionate years, specifying dates, places, and moments.

The people nearby were stunned!

The female cultivator from Hehuan Sect… actually… actually this shameless!

Such a disgraceful act!

The Wu Family was caught off guard, hearing such shocking gossip all at once. They were momentarily stunned, unable to process it, looking foolish.

The most excited ones were probably the Melon-Eating System.

The Melon-Eating System screamed, 【Tell me more, tell me more, I love to hear it!】

【No wonder it’s Hehuan Sect, they really have a unique approach to dual cultivation.】

【These events happened many years ago, some of them I can’t even find out about.】

【What a pro! So pro! I must record all these details for the host, maybe she’ll use them later.】

【Innocent Cultivator! Innocent Cultivator!】

【Hehehehe.】

Those hearing the heartbeats, Qingjiu Xian and others: …

Wu Family Patriarch, who was just within a two-meter radius: …

This unknown entity, is it really that unprofessional?

Why does it focus on recording this sort of thing? Such a waste of talent!

The Wu Family Patriarch’s gaze shifted indifferently across the faces of the four male cultivators guarding Ning Xu. He wanted to know who this “Innocent Cultivator” that the voice mentioned so many times actually was.

Finally, his gaze lingered on Siyan.

After observing for a moment, he calmly shifted his gaze away.

No wonder this male cultivator was favored by an unknown entity—he indeed had remarkable qualities. Just his appearance was far beyond that of his own Ah Chen, not to mention his unique aura.

The Wu Family Patriarch couldn’t exactly pinpoint what was special, but his instincts told him this person was not simple.

—

A century of entanglement couldn’t be told in a single day.

But the battle had already entered its final stages.

Lan Chun ultimately couldn’t win against Yu Tao. It wasn’t that she lost in combat experience or cultivation level, but rather, she lost to the opponent’s overbearing nature.

Various high-level spiritual pills continuously replenished the lost spiritual energy of Yu tao and Wu Chichun.

Various high-level magical treasures were relentlessly hurled at her.

Yu tao’s storage bag seemed to never run out.

At this point, Lan Chun was at her limit, clutching her injured side, her voice weak but filled with unwillingness, “I didn’t lose to you, Yu tao, I only lost to your family background!”

If she had a family background as strong as Yu tao’s, she would have already become a Tribulation Stage cultivator!

But sadly, such a wonderful family background had only fallen on Yu tao!

Without such family support, how would Yu tao, with only Body Integration Stage cultivation, be affectionately called a goddess in the cultivation world?

The cultivation world wasn’t lacking in female cultivators who were more beautiful than Yu tao or had higher cultivation levels.

But the only one who had a rich grandfather was Yu tao!

Upon hearing this, Yu tao was unconcerned.

Family background was also part of her strength. She was grateful to her grandfather for providing her with such favorable conditions. Spiritual treasures that others couldn’t bear to use were trivial to her, and high-level pills that others couldn’t afford were like candy to her.

Yutao sent her final melody towards Lan Chun.

Her tone was indifferent, “In the next life, don’t be so greedy.”

Lan Chun no longer had the strength to dodge, and she watched helplessly as the melody struck her body, then she collapsed, powerless…

No matter how she tried to think, she never expected that today would be the day of her demise!

The Wu Family disciples and others watching nearby were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

A Body Integration Stage cultivator, just like that, fell in the Wu Family’s backyard? Surrounded by Wu Chichun and Yu tao, Lan Chun couldn’t even self-destruct.

Was this what high-level cultivators’ battles were like?

It truly was shocking.

Just as they were collectively speechless, that strange heart voice sounded again.

【Is this thing really dead like that?】

【Ahhh, there are still so many details I haven’t shared! Damn! Too damn frustrating!】

【She knelt down too quickly. As expected, this goddess is truly a strong leg to hold onto. Let’s see if Elder Wu can seize this opportunity and live off the goddess now.】

【Anyway, many want to live off the goddess, so why not let Wu Chichun do it? Hehehe.】

Everyone: …

Not long after Lan Chun’s fall, Ning Xu successfully built her foundation. Building the foundation wasn’t like forming a pill, it didn’t require facing a tribulation. After successfully expanding her meridians and Qi sea by double, foundation building naturally succeeded.

The Wu Family Patriarch, who had been watching on the side, was stunned at how easily Ning Xu built her foundation. He paused for a moment before realizing.

With such a mysterious existence by her side, it had already proven her extraordinary qualities.

And her foundation-building process proved this as well. After so many years of cultivation, this was the first time he had seen someone build their foundation so easily.

As Ning Xu opened her eyes, everyone began offering their congratulations.

The Innocent Cultivator smiled slightly, “Captain, congratulations.”

Qingjiu Xian, Wu Luchen, and Qin Riluo also spoke up, “Captain, congratulations, wonderful.”

The Wu Family disciples, finally snapping out of their stunned state, responded, “Congratulations, Daoist Ning.”

“Not bad.”

Amid the congratulations, Ning Xu heard a familiar voice. She instinctively turned around and looked toward the newcomer, “Elder Wu!”

Elder Wu smiled gently at her. His body was covered in blood and injuries, his spiritual energy depleted, and his wounds were serious, but his expression was light, as though he had broken free from some kind of restraint.

Ning Xu took a few steps forward, intending to ask about Elder Wu’s condition, when the Melon-Eating System couldn’t wait to speak, 【Host, I just left you with lots of good things, you’re going to love them!】

Those in the know: …

Such a liking for it…

Ning Xu casually asked, “Good things? What good things? Are they the kind that can make us the new richest in the cultivation world?”

Upon hearing this, the Melon-Eating System fell silent.

【Well, not exactly.】

Ning Xu nodded, not asking any more questions.

The Melon-Eating System, now losing interest in sharing its good things, focused on other matters.

Excited, it said, 【Host, what Yu tao did earlier was really overbearing! Those magical treasures, those pills, they’re almost infinite!】

【I’m envious! I’m jealous! I admire it! I resent it!】

【I refuse to let my host be this poor!】

【I want you to be just as wealthy and domineering!】

【Host, I believe that within five years, we can definitely surpass the grandfather of the Goddess and become the new generation’s richest person. What do you think?】

Ning Xu, who had just provoked the Flower Pavilion and the son of Star Peach City Lord, said, “I think we can.”

Right now, she urgently needed spirit stones to increase her strength, and the more spirit stones, the better.

Goddess: ???

Saying this right in front of her—was that really okay?
