Chapter 96: A Woman Three Hundred Years Old, Gifts of Immortal Elixirs!

Bai Tianxiang burst into laughter when she heard Cao Xuan’s words. “Junior Brother, your tongue is truly sweet. I bet you’ve fooled quite a few immortal maidens!”

Cao Xuan seized the opportunity, “How could I? I genuinely think Senior Sister is beautiful!”

Well now, he was already calling her ‘Senior Sister.’ Li Yao wasn’t angry; she glanced at their master, her eyes saying, “See? I wasn’t wrong—our junior brother is incorrigible!”

Yu Wan looked on with approval. In the world of cultivation, the strong are revered, and not only Cao Xuan sensed it; they all could feel that the person before them was a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, or perhaps even beyond.

Thanks to Sect Leader Yu Qingsong’s presence, the peak masters had gained insight into the natural flow of true energy from a mid-stage Golden Core master.

In their eyes, the person before them was most likely a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and perhaps even more powerful.

For Cao Xuan to greet her so naturally, even with the connection to the junior uncle Immortal Xiang Qiu, was a remarkable feat.

Moreover, Yu Wan believed that Cao Xuan’s cultivation method would only benefit from more female cultivators.

Li Yao, playful as she was, didn’t think much of it; whatever Junior Brother did, she would follow suit.

But Yu Wan had pondered something last night: after including Li Yao, their cultivation efficiency had soared!

This wasn’t merely a case of one plus one being greater than two—it could even be one plus one plus one, greater than three!

Last night, as Yu Wan lay in bed, humming softly, she was astonished to discover that this cultivation method could break the limits of spiritual roots.

One might think this technique simply harmonized the essence, energy, and spirit, benefiting the foundation of the Dao.

Yet to Yu Wan, even as a Nine-Tempered Spiritual Root, she felt the efficiency of an Earth Spiritual Root.

And was this method truly limited to just two female cultivators?

Where there’s one, there’s two; where there’s two, there’s three!

Though Cao Xuan had mentioned last night that all three needed to be closely linked, Yu Wan, while shifting positions, deliberately moved a little distance away—still on the bed, but not as close.

She discovered that as long as Cao Xuan initiated the cycle, forming a full circuit, even if the participants changed, the cycle remained.

Of course, she didn’t know if Cao Xuan had studied this, and Yu Wan planned to remind him to explore it further.

Imagine, in one room, with Cao Xuan and a dozen female cultivators, they could achieve the efficiency of Earth Spiritual Roots, Heavenly Spiritual Roots, or perhaps even reach the legendary Flawless Spiritual Root.

Yu Wan believed that no female cultivator could resist such temptation!

She thought secretly, “My disciple is not so innocent; he must have secretly modified the ‘Cloud Glyph Art’!”

To Yu Wan’s mind, the heart-shaped glyph on her abdomen was never recorded in the ‘Cloud Glyph Art’!

Furthermore, during cultivation, she noticed that after forming a full circuit, the efficiency for all three increased.

But Cao Xuan’s operation was even more complex!

Learning this, Yu Wan was stunned for quite some time!

“But with my disciple’s talent and comprehension, it is understandable.”

Yu Wan didn’t pursue the matter further. Cao Xuan was unaware that in the system, a favorability score above ninety was not merely being the protagonist’s sycophant.

In reality, it meant never betraying the protagonist, or even considering anything detrimental to him.

Therefore, Yu Wan thought: the more female cultivators, the better, and the stronger, the better.

With enough female cultivators, Yu Wan believed she might have a shot at the Nascent Soul, Transcendence, and perhaps even rival Junior Uncle Immortal Xiang Qiu.

At this thought, Yu Wan licked her lips and glared at Li Yao, her gaze conveying,

“Don’t disturb your Senior Brother. Cultivating together benefits everyone.”

Li Yao’s eyes darted. “There are that many? He’s a Golden Core cultivator—would he even be willing?”

Yu Wan snorted, her gaze carrying a message as well.

“What does the Golden Core have to do with it? Don’t you trust your Junior Brother? This cultivation method isn’t just extraordinarily efficient; the key is, it feels wonderful!”

“It’s far better than your usual tedious solitary cultivation!”

Li Yao turned her head, and her momentum faltered. She had to admit, it was true.

Her first experience with this method had been truly addictive, and afterward, she was reluctant to cultivate alone.

Over the past year, her solo cultivation time had decreased significantly; most evenings she dragged Cao Xuan into dual cultivation.

Even so, their combined cultivation time didn’t exceed what she used to spend in a year of seclusion, but the efficiency had multiplied countless times.

While the master and disciple exchanged meaningful glances, Cao Xuan had already struck up a conversation with Bai Tianxiang.

At first, Bai Tianxiang led the way with Cao Xuan following, but now they walked side by side. With his repertoire of witty lines and curious tales from his previous life, Cao Xuan had Bai Tianxiang laughing nonstop.

She even began to feel that this junior brother was unlike ordinary people.

“Junior Brother, do you really think Senior Sister is beautiful?”

“To be honest, Senior Sister is probably hundreds of years older than you!”

Cao Xuan replied promptly, “A woman three years older brings gold, thirty years older grants a kingdom, three hundred years older bestows an immortal pill, and three thousand years older earns a place among the immortals…”

“So, age is never an issue!”

Bai Tianxiang laughed again, “Junior Brother, you’re so glib—I’m not talking to you anymore!”

[Ding~ Bai Tianxiang’s favorability +1]
[Ding~ Bai Tianxiang’s favorability +3]
[Bai Tianxiang’s current favorability: 45]

Cao Xuan glanced at his panel, utterly calm. “Senior Sister Bai, it’s fine if you ignore me, but surely you can accept this jade talisman now?”

This time, Bai Tianxiang didn’t refuse and took it directly.

“Alright, I’ll go along with you,” she said, suddenly producing a porcelain bottle.

“Courtesy demands reciprocity. I see you’ve reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and are not far from the Golden Core stage. This pill should help you.”

Cao Xuan was moved. Well now, the system hadn’t given him a rebate, but the immortal lady had!

But he didn’t accept it immediately, especially since Bai Tianxiang hadn’t taken the jade talisman at first.

He hurriedly said, “I can’t accept this. The jade talisman is just a little trinket, similar to a message glyph, with some fragrance and insect-repelling functions—nothing valuable!”

Truth be told, Yu Wan, Li Yao, Lin Miaoxuan, and Chen Qianru all had one—Cao Xuan had designed these small magical artifacts himself, each with a unique style.

Bai Tianxiang, however, smiled and said she liked the talisman very much. After some polite refusals, she finally said,

“Junior Brother, didn’t you say a woman three hundred years older gives an immortal pill? Senior Sister is about three hundred years your senior, so what’s wrong with gifting you an immortal pill?”

In the end, Cao Xuan, after much gratitude, accepted the porcelain bottle.

At that moment, the system panel chimed!
