In a quiet and secluded courtyard, Ling Xiao sat on a stone platform. Wisps of different elemental Ling Qi covered his Tianling acupoint. Among them, the Wood, Wind, and Fire Ling Qi were the fastest.
In his consciousness, the three foreign species were glowing and seemed to be growing stronger.
In Ling Xiao's Dantian, the thumb-sized multicolored Profound Qi was also glowing.
At the same time, a large portion of his acupoints were already radiating a dazzling radiance, as vast and flawless as the stars.
Although Ling Xiao was poisoned by the Love Gu, it didn't affect the realm of his strength. At the same time, after three months of cultivation, the speed at which the Ling Qi in his body condensed was so fast that it made him speechless.
He originally thought that his cultivation speed before was already very fast. He didn't think that when he reached the Spiritual Master level, his absorption speed would be many times faster than before.
One had to know that the higher a fighter went, the longer the process of accumulation would be. Without a fortuitous encounter or miraculous medicine, it would be very difficult to break through to the next level.
Ling Xiao had just broken through to the Intermediate Spiritual Master level not long ago, but his Ling Qi was already very stable. He felt that if this continued, he could reach the peak of the Intermediate Spiritual Master level in less than half a year. Breaking through to the High Spiritual Master level in a year wouldn't be difficult.
If others were to find out about this speed, they would probably be extremely jealous of him.
The realm that others couldn't reach after years or decades was achieved by a young man who wasn't even twenty yet. How could they not be jealous and envious?
In reality, Ling Xiao also knew that the reason why he could absorb Ling Qi so quickly was because of the three foreign species in his consciousness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do this with just the Three Parts Returning Qi.
After a period of meditation, all of Ling Xiao's Essence Qi reached the Unity Realm. This was his preparation for refining a fourth level pill.
Ling Xiao had just stood up when a different kind of fragrance wafted into his nose.
Without needing to look, Ling Xiao knew it was his so-called wife. The priestess walked over.
Although Ling Xiao didn't consummate with the priestess in these three months, the two of them had been together for so long and slept in the same room. One slept on the bed while the other slept on the ground. They didn't interfere with each other's business, so naturally, he was very familiar with the priestess's scent.
This wasn't to say that Ling Xiao was the legendary Liu Xiahui. It was just that he was desperate to find a way to get rid of the Love Gu. Otherwise, the Love Gu would be like a bomb buried in his body, making him unable to eat or sleep in peace.
"Fu Ma, you still won't give up?" The priestess looked at Ling Xiao with a complicated gaze.
Ling Xiao noticed that the priestess seemed a little different than usual, but he didn't know what was going on.
"I'm not used to being controlled by others, and I can't forget them. So … as long as I don't get rid of the Love Gu, I won't be able to have peace," Ling Xiao said honestly.
The priestess hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's actually another way to get rid of the Love Gu."
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ling Xiao asked anxiously.
Although he felt that there was an 80% chance of eliminating the Love Parasite in his body after cultivating the third transformation of the Vajra Technique to the Great Completion Realm, he didn't dare to guarantee a 100% success rate.
Now that the priestess said that there was another way to get rid of the Love Gu, how could he not be excited and nervous?
The priestess pursed her lips and said, "Come into my room with me and I'll tell you."
"Could it be that I have to consummate my marriage to get rid of the Love Gu?
Impossible! Ling Xiao thought to himself as he gazed at the alluring figure of the priestess walking in front of him.
After the two entered the bridal chamber, the priestess turned to Ling Xiao and said, "The Love Parasite is a sacred object of my tribe's husband and wife. It can bind two people to each other for the rest of their lives. The only way to break it is to kill either one of them. That way, the parasite will lose its effect and will no longer be a threat to the other party."
"So that's how it is." Ling Xiao replied in realization.
A complicated look flashed through his eyes and he said, "You don't think that I have the strength to kill a King level expert like you, do you?"
Since the priestess said that as long as he killed either one of them, the Love Gu would naturally be cured.
However, the priestess said that Ling Xiao had to kill her to get rid of the Love Gu. He didn't think that he could kill the priestess with his strength as a mid-stage Soul Master.
The priestess took a step closer to Ling Xiao and said softly, "I know that you have unforgettable feelings for your woman, and you aren't willing to stay by my side. Why don't you let me help you? As long as I kill myself, you will be free."
Ling Xiao frowned and looked at the priestess. He suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? A dignified King level expert would kill himself for me?
Ridiculous! "
Was what the priestess said even possible?
She was a dignified King level expert and a genius of Guzhai City. How could she kill herself for a nominal husband like him?
No one would believe it if he said it.
The priestess was unmoved. She gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, you don't know that I can't live past twenty years old."
"What?
How is that possible? "Ling Xiao was surprised.
A dignified King level expert had a lifespan of at least three to five hundred years, but the priestess said that she couldn't live past twenty years old.
Ling Xiao felt that the priestess' lies were getting more and more outrageous.
The priestess sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her face in the bronze mirror. She said faintly, "Can you come and help me comb my hair?"
Ling Xiao didn't understand what the priestess meant, but he still followed her wishes.
Stroking the beautiful black hair of the beauty in front of him and smelling the tempting light fragrance, Ling Xiao's mind calmed down. He picked up a special wooden comb made of millennium sandalwood and gently combed the priestess' hair.
The priestess said indifferently, "What I said just now was all true. In fact, I was born with the Heaven Gu Body."
"The Heaven Gu Body?" Ling Xiao was startled, and the wooden comb in his hand trembled for no reason.
"You know about the Heaven Gu Body?" The priestess was puzzled.
"I've only heard of it, but I don't know the specifics," Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"Oh, since you know, then it's easy to explain," the priestess replied. She then said, "The Heaven Gu Body is an extremely rare constitution in my Gu Tribe. It can be said that it's rare to see one even in a thousand years. It's dozens of times faster than an ordinary person. Although it can speed up one's cultivation, without my tribe's Heaven Gu Divine Art, anyone with the Heaven Gu Body won't live past twenty years old."
"You're saying that you're not cultivating the Heaven Gu Divine Art right now, so you only have two years left to live?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
"That's right, the Heaven Gu Divine Art has been lost for many years. My grandfather has been searching everywhere for many years, but he hasn't found any news, so …" The priestess said indifferently. There was no sadness on her face, but her eyes revealed a desolate look that fell into Ling Xiao's eyes.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for her, and in his heart, he already believed the priestess' words. "It looks like she's already resigned to her fate."
For some reason, Ling Xiao suddenly felt pity for her, and at the same time, an idea popped up in his mind. "Help her find the Heaven Gu Divine Art!"
At that moment, the priestess stood up, turned around, and stared at Ling Xiao, "Although we are husband and wife in name, we are not husband and wife in reality. Take me today, let me become a real woman, and after today, I will return your freedom."
After saying that, the priestess' body trembled slightly, and a wave of spiritual energy spread out, forcing Ling Xiao to take two steps back.
Then, a flawless and delicate body appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao forgot to breathe, and looking at that perfect body, his throat became dry.
Under the dim light, the perfect size of the Holy Maiden stood proudly, and the two bright red spots were like delicate flower buds, so beautiful that it was suffocating. That flat and delicate belly did not have a trace of fat, and that skin exuded a lustrous color. The mysterious black grass was even more alluring.
The priestess walked in front of Ling Xiao, lightly hooked her arms around Ling Xiao's neck, and exhaled like orchids, "Take me!"
At that moment, the priestess put down her high and mighty status, put down her pride as a young lady, in order to completely transform herself into a real woman.
In this way, even if she committed suicide, it could be considered that she had tasted the taste of being a woman.
Looking at the priestess's flushed skin, Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to climb up that firm and firm Holy Maiden Peak.
The priestess closed her eyes slightly, and her curled eyelashes kept trembling, showing how nervous she was at the moment.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to grasp that firm spot, he stopped and gently pushed the priestess away.
The priestess felt a slight pain in her heart. She did not understand why Ling Xiao still did not want her until now.
"I have found a way to remove the Love Gu. You should cherish the remaining two years," Ling Xiao said, and then left the room without looking back.
The priestess looked at the leaving Ling Xiao with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes.
…
After leaving the room, Ling Xiao walked into another room and sat down cross-legged again.
The state that he had adjusted before was disrupted by the priestess, and now he had to adjust it again.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao woke up again, and the Obsidian Cauldron flew out of his Space Ring and landed in front of him. Then Ling Xiao took out a lot of third-grade Spirit Grasses one by one.
These Spirit Grasses were the auxiliary Spirit Grasses for refining the Internal Organ Restoring Pill.
Ling Xiao used the Flame Shadow Palm, and Spirit Grasses were constantly thrown into the Medicine Cauldron. The extracted essence did not need Ling Xiao to imprison it, as the Obsidian Cauldron could imprison it inside the Medicine Cauldron, not letting it waste even a little bit of medicinal power.
In order to refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill, not only were the auxiliary spirit herbs of a high grade, but there were also a lot of them. The spiritual power consumed was also very large. Otherwise, Ling Xiao wouldn't have failed.
This time, Ling Xiao was very well prepared. Every time his spiritual power was exhausted, he would grab a few pills and throw them into his mouth.
Now Ling Xiao could cast forty-eight Flame Shadow Palms, and his speed was so fast that it made people speechless.
After two hours, the essence of nearly a hundred first-grade to third-grade Spirit Grasses had been extracted.
Not long after, even the essence of a few main fourth-grade Spirit Grasses had been extracted.
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I only lost two or three Spirit Grasses."
At this time, a water-attribute high-grade fourth-grade Beast Core appeared in his hand, and he threw it into the Medicine Cauldron without thinking.
Success or failure depended on the results this time.
