Chapter 320

Ou Lingruo hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the Ou family.

…

After escaping from the cave, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang returned to their small manor.

Ou Lingruo hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the Ou family.

Traveling with the two seniors was too exciting, and she needed to slow down.

"Ah... so comfortable!" Cheng Hui took off his outer robe, jumped onto the soft big bed, and rolled around happily hugging the pillow.

Just as he was thinking that it would be nice to have a furry thing to pet right now, a man came over, took the pillow away, and snuggled into his arms.

Cheng Hui: ...

Emmmm, it’s okay, it’s not furry, but it’s cute too!

He rolled around on the bed with Lin Qingyang in his arms twice, and it felt very good.

The two exchanged a few sweet kisses before lying down side by side on the bed.

Their trip was dangerous, but not life-threatening.

The limitations of the dragon fish are too great. Once it leaves the range of "water", its strength will be greatly affected.

At worst, both Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang have enough means to fight to the death. Even if they will be seriously injured after using them, they will not die there.

Cheng Hui lay on the bed very relaxed. The crack had been found. As long as the boss recovered, they could return to the Xuanheng Realm.

Speaking of which, it has been a few years since they left Xuanheng Realm. It's time to go back and take a look.

The most important thing is that Cheng Hui is also thinking about the covenant ceremony. As a normal man, it is not right for him to hold it back for years, right?

"Okay, we should be fine in the short term. Let's just wait for the boss to recover and then we can go back."

Lin Qingyang lay in Cheng Hui's arms, resting his head on his arm, listening quietly.

"After we go back, we will tell our master about our relationship, and then find a way to hold the contract-binding ceremony." Cheng Hui imagined the scene of Lin Qingyang marrying him in a red dress, and couldn't help but smile foolishly.

Lin Qingyang raised his head, his eyes as bright as stars fixed on Cheng Hui, as if he was also caught in the same fantasy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Well, don't make the venue too big. Just invite our familiar friends. Don't invite so many people." Thinking of the modern wedding procedures, Cheng Hui couldn't help but shudder.

The procedures in ancient times would have been even more complicated. Fortunately, they were only in the Golden Core stage at the moment, and were not well-known in the world of cultivation. There was no need to mobilize a large force. All they needed to do was invite a few good friends and announce it to the world together.

Lin Qingyang looked at Cheng Hui disapprovingly. How could it be enough to invite only three or five good friends?

The contract-making ceremony he imagined would cause a sensation in the entire cultivation world. He wanted to declare to everyone that Cheng Hui belonged to him!

As soon as Cheng Hui saw Lin Qingyang's expression, he guessed what he was thinking and twitched his lips: "Too many people will be troublesome."

"You can leave it to the servants to handle." Lin Qingyang retorted calmly.

"We don't need to... Well, it is necessary." The words of dissuasion disappeared silently in Lin Qingyang's persistent sight.

Cheng Hui just felt it was a bit troublesome, but if he made Lin Qingyang unhappy just to save himself some trouble, then he would be putting the cart before the horse.

He touched his nose and thought, okay... Anyway, no matter how much they advertised, they only had so many friends, and other people might not care about them forming a pact. At most, their fellow disciples would come to join in the fun. If he counted on his fingers, there weren't many of them.

The two reached an agreement on this, but poor Cheng Hui had not yet realized that Lin Qingyang had dug a big hole for him.

Lin Qingyang's plan was also very simple. They were already at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and as long as the opportunity arose, they could break through to the Nascent Soul stage at any time.

Jindan cultivators are the backbone of the Xuanheng Realm, and backbone means a large number of them, so the Jindan cultivators' covenant ceremony will only be watched by some relatives and friends at most.

But what if two Nascent Soul cultivators form a pact?

You have to know that Nascent Soul cultivators are not common, and there are only a limited number of them in each sect.

If the Jindan cultivators are the backbone of the force, then the Yuanying cultivators are the typical high-level forces.

Aside from the introverted Divine Transformation cultivators, the Xuanheng Realm was essentially ruled by the Nascent Soul cultivators. The two newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators were planning a grand covenant ceremony, which would surely draw attention not only from the righteous sects but also from the demonic sects.

The biggest advantage of the Corpse Puppet Sect is that they are unorthodox. Under normal circumstances, unorthodox sects may not be loved by their grandmothers or uncles, and their relationship with the righteous and evil sects is very average.

But it also means that neither the righteous path nor the evil path will have too much hostility towards the evil path.

If the righteous path gained a Nascent Soul cultivator, the demonic path would definitely try to test their bottom line, and it would be even better if they could kill him directly. Conversely, if the demonic path gained a Nascent Soul cultivator, the righteous path would follow the same process.

Only Zuo Dao, with this mysterious neutrality, can please neither side while not offending either side.

At the very least, there will be no situation where the righteous or evil forces are determined to kill them both.

Since killing him is impossible, building a good relationship with him is undoubtedly a better option.

Having one more Yuanying cultivator friend means having one more helper. Unless there is a big fight between good and evil, most people prefer to sit down and negotiate.

The neutral left path is the best choice for this middleman.

In short, if the two of them can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, there will definitely be many benefits.

Of course, achieving the Nascent Soul stage cannot be summarized in a simple sentence. Why are there so many Jindan cultivators, but only a few who have achieved the Nascent Soul stage? It is because when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivator will face the biggest and most serious inner demon calamity.

The person who is hardest to deceive is always oneself, so the inner demon tribulation is the most difficult to overcome.

I don’t know how many brilliant and talented cultivators have failed in this calamity of the inner demon.

Even Lin Qingyang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to survive this inner tribulation. It was just that his past experience gave him a greater confidence.

"No, we need to make more preparations."

Lin Qingyang turned over and sat up from the bed. Although the person next to him was extremely charming and tempted him to lie back down, he still stood up and prepared to leave.

The only thing that can restrain his obsession with Cheng Hui is Cheng Hui's own safety. He believes that with Cheng Hui's open-minded character, it will be easier for him to overcome his inner tribulation, but this does not prevent him from giving him an extra layer of protection.

"Spirit star flower, moonlight fish, colorful spider... these things are all effective against the inner demon calamity. At present, it is difficult to obtain the colorful spider here, but there is still a certain possibility of obtaining the spirit star flower and moonlight fish." Lin Qingyang thought quickly. Since he decided to break through the Nascent Soul stage, he could start preparing these things.

Lingxing Flower and Moonlight Fish are both rare treasures that can calm the mind and spirit. If you want to get them, you can only rely on luck.

Or... could he find out some information about these two materials and then hunt them himself?

That's one way.

He remembered a little secret for catching moonfish. If he was lucky, he might be able to catch it.

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Hui asked lazily, resting his head on his thigh.

Lin Qingyang smiled slightly: "Ahui, let's go fishing!"

Cheng Hui:?

After resting in the manor for two days, the two set off again.

This time, they went to Beiliang City first and chatted with Luo Beidou for a while.

Luo Beidou was indeed a man with a backer. His cultivation might not be very high, but his status was high, and most people in Baiyujing were willing to befriend him. Therefore, many news would be kept secret from him.

While chatting, Lin Qingyang deliberately led the topic towards Lingxing Flower and Moonlight Fish, and Luo Beidou really followed the topic and started chatting.

Lingxing Flower and Moonlight Fish are both very precious treasures. Although Baiyujing also has them, with the status of outer sect worshippers like Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang, they would have to work hard for at least ten years to get them.

Don't think that this requirement is too harsh. You should know that the time it takes for a cultivator to sell his body is calculated in units of hundreds of years. Just working hard for ten years can exchange it for Spirit Star Flowers and Moonlight Fish. If this news is known to the casual cultivators outside, I wonder how many people will be willing to sell themselves.

Lingxing Flower and Moonlight Fish are very expensive precisely because these two materials are rare and their effects are very obvious.

On the other hand, although the sources of these two materials are not cheap, with the accumulation of Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang, it is enough to exchange them.

"Are you... planning to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Luo Beidou's eyes widened.

Originally, he only knew that these two seniors had profound cultivation. Later, he learned from the president that these two were both simple and perfect, with the cultivation level of half a step to the Nascent Soul.

Why else could they be searching for the Spirit Star Flower and Moonlight Fish? It could only be to cope with the inner demon tribulation during their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Not necessarily. The main thing is to prepare in advance. Besides, there may not be any gains from this trip. It's just a try." Cheng Hui said calmly.

Lin Qingyang had already introduced the value of these two materials to him, and he really didn't have high hopes.

There is no other reason. Both the Lingxing Flower and the Moonlight Fish are difficult to catch. Even if you know the exact location, you can only take your chances.

Luo Beidou understood as soon as he heard it.

No matter when the breakthrough comes, it never hurts to prepare things in advance.

"Have you prepared all the pills?" he asked.

"Infant-Breaking Pill?" Lin Qingyang looked at him.

"Of course not." Luo Beidou shook his head. "The elixirs I'm talking about are Yuanfeng Pill, Pozhang Pill, and Sanbao Ruyi Pill. It would be best if I could also prepare a set of Seven-Star Divine Protection Shield. It would be even more perfect if I could obtain a Guiyi Leaf..."

Lin Qingyang/Cheng Hui: ...

Not only Cheng Hui, but even Lin Qingyang was a little dumbfounded.

No, does your world talk so much about breaking through the Nascent Soul stage?

What are these pills? Those "God Shields" seem to protect the soul from their names, and what are the "Gui Yi Ye"?

Lin Qingyang had never even heard of these things.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, the turbulent waves in his eyes revealed his inner confusion.

Cheng Hui stared at him with interest. It was rare to see Lin Qingyang with such an expression.

Fortunately, both Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui were not arrogant at all. They asked when they didn't understand. They soon learned from Luo Beidou the efficacy of these pills and the functions of the two subsequent magic weapons.

"The people here are really..." Lin Qingyang felt a rare sense of emotion.

Originally, he had always thought that this world was similar to the Xuanheng Realm and there was not much difference. It was not until now that he realized that he was hasty. The cultivation world in this world may be very similar to the Xuanheng Realm, but it has completely different development.

Perhaps because of the existence of several great divine dynasties, their largest advantage in researching and initiating elixirs is the large number of people in the divine dynasties.

A large population means a large base, and in order to fight against the sects, the Divine Dynasty took a different approach in the study of spiritual energy and developed many wonderful things.

The previous elixirs and magic weapons are one of the results. If used well, they can greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
