Although sending the furnace to Orange Washing Peak was too daring, the danger made it even more exciting.
She even became somewhat addicted to the thrill.
Although she felt a little guilty towards her husband, Lu Yunchuan, what could she do? She was only trying to become stronger. If anyone was to blame, it was Lu Xueyao. If Lu Xueyao hadn't forced her, why would she have resorted to such a method to improve her cultivation?
Because she was eager to increase her cultivation level, she was initially selective about the furnace cauldrons she used, but now she doesn't care anymore; as long as she's strong enough, she'll use any. Although those ugly furnace cauldrons disgust her, she feels a sense of pride when she thinks of the astonishment Lu Xuening, Lu Xueya, and the others felt when they saw her cultivation increase.
This sense of pride and vanity led her down a path of no return, and she could no longer turn back.
“Yun Chuan has been in seclusion for so long, I don’t know if he can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage. But regardless of whether he succeeds in his seclusion or not, he will definitely be very happy to see your cultivation improve,” Xu Lianxin said with a smile.
Lu Xuening said sweetly, "My husband will definitely succeed, Mother, I believe in him."
After sitting with Xu Lianxin for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Xuening left Lianhua Palace and returned to Chengxi Peak.
As soon as she returned, she headed towards her bedchamber. Before leaving, she had already instructed Lu Feixing to bring the furnace to her room.
"Young Madam."
Upon seeing Lu Xuening return, her maids Bao'er and Juan'er came to greet her.
Lu Xuening asked, "Where is he?"
The maid Bao'er replied, "They're inside."
Lu Xuening walked inside. The room was draped with low-hanging gauze curtains, and a man sat inside. The man was burly, with ordinary features, and possessed the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage—it was Lu Feixing. Lu Feixing was munching on a spiritual fruit and didn't even bow to Lu Xuening as she entered. Lu Xuening didn't mind and asked, "Where's the furnace?"
After she finished speaking, Lu Feixing waved his hand, and a male cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, who had lost his mind, appeared in front of Lu Xuening. This male cultivator looked to be in his early twenties and was handsome.
Upon seeing that it was a handsome man, Lu Xuening smiled and said, "This time the goods are quite good."
Lu Feixing stood up, took a few steps, walked up to Lu Xuening, grabbed one of her arms, and pulled her into his arms. His hands began to grope Lu Xuening's body inappropriately, and his voice was hoarse: "Then how will the young mistress reward me?"
Lu Xuening's four Nascent Soul Guardians all hated her, but their attitudes differed. Lu Ji felt disgusted at the thought of being plotted against and having an affair with Lu Xuening. Lu Hang and Lu Jinfeng felt similarly disgusted. However, Lu Feixing was inherently lecherous, and he had had many affairs with Lu Xuening over the past fifteen years.
As for Lu Feixing, he had already been tricked, and it would be even more frustrating if he didn't deal with this bastard.
Lu Xuening giggled, "I'll reward you after I've finished using the furnace."
After saying that, she pushed Lu Feixing away and walked towards the early-stage Golden Core cultivator. She leaned on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear. The early-stage Golden Core cultivator then followed her to the bed. Lu Xuening did not hide her cultivation process from Lu Feixing.
After absorbing the essence of that male cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, she began to flirt with Lu Feixing, and the two indulged in debauchery here.
Outside the room, Lu Xuening's maids stood guard as usual. This was the Lu family home; Lu Xuening wouldn't have left without setting up any protective barriers, so Cui'er, Bao'er, and the others couldn't hear anything from inside. Even so, they were filled with anxiety.
"Young Madam, she's getting crazier and crazier. Before, she would send the furnace to the secret chamber, but now she's sending it directly to the room." Cui'er whispered to Guo'er beside her.
"If this gets exposed, we're doomed," Guo'er whispered, her face deathly pale.
Every time Lu Xuening underwent her tonic-collecting ritual, they were filled with anxiety and fear. These personal maids standing outside truly felt like each day was an eternity!
Suddenly, a person appeared in their field of vision—a handsome man. His appearance terrified them to death.
It's Lu Yunchuan.
Lu Yunchuan's seclusion ended. Since he failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it didn't cause any stir. He felt there was no point in continuing his seclusion, so he came out of the secret chamber. The first thing he thought of after coming out was to see Lu Xuening.
"Second, Second Young Master!"
Upon seeing Lu Yunchuan, Cui'er and the others were terrified.
Cui'er, Guo'er, Bao'er, and Juan'er immediately knelt down, Juan'er, the least timid of them, trembling uncontrollably. Lu Yunchuan rarely paid attention to Lu Xuening and her maids; his eyes were only on Lu Xuening. Standing at the doorway, seeing the protective light emanating from the room, he didn't think much of it and asked:
"Is your young mistress meditating inside?"
Cultivators don't necessarily have to go to secret chambers to practice their skills; it's common for them to meditate and cultivate in their own dormitories.
Cui'er, the boldest of them all, forced herself to remain calm: "Young master, the young mistress just instructed us that she needs to cultivate for a few days and that we should not disturb her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunchuan stood at the door and stared at the protective light waves on the door.
Heaven knows how scared Cui'er and the others were!
The restriction wasn't strong; it wouldn't be difficult for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to forcefully break through it with their divine sense. As long as Lu Yunchuan released his divine sense, he would see the scene inside: his beloved wife was being pressed down by a man, panting softly...
But without much thought, he turned around and transformed into a long rainbow, disappearing from sight.
As soon as he left, Cui'er and the other maids were all exhausted.
Cui'er immediately transmitted her voice: "Young Madam, Young Master has finished his seclusion!"
Cui'er didn't dare to use telepathy just now because she was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while Lu Yunchuan was far above her in cultivation level. If she used telepathy in front of him, she would be discovered.
Lu Xuening and Lu Feixing, who were engaged in fierce fighting, were terrified and immediately got up, dressed, and went outside. They asked the maids, and only after confirming that Lu Yunchuan hadn't noticed anything amiss did Lu Xuening feel relieved.

Middle-earth, Mount Chaisang.
Inside the secluded cave, there lay a massive white jade coffin, its surface covered with countless shifting, mysterious golden runes. Within the cave were four identical, stunningly beautiful girls.
One of them, dressed in purple, sat on a futon, her fingers constantly changing as she cast spells, but instead of landing on the white jade coffin, they landed in mid-air, forming different ancient runes.
A woman dressed in a light blue dress paced back and forth, deep in thought.
A woman dressed in a pale yellow dress sat in a rocking chair, gazing into the void, muttering incantations.
The last one, dressed in a moon-white gauze robe, took a hammer and struck the white jade coffin several times, knowing it was useless, but it was a way to vent his anger.
Ayao and her clone have been in this cave for fifteen years, constantly deducing the restrictions on the white jade coffin, but they still can't open it. However, it hasn't been without its gains; these fifteen years of tireless research have significantly improved Ayao's skill in creating restrictions.
