Chapter 410: Chapter 403 I’m Afraid (First Update, Please Subscribe)
If it were a few hundred years ago, persuading Ye Linglong like this would inevitably fail.
Back then, Ye Linglong was proud and ambitious, mere Nascent Soul was nothing, Divinity Transformation was nothing; was I to become immortal and ascend above the nine heavens? But now, having lived for several hundred years, having experienced the hardships and the various pains of cultivation, I’ve also come to terms with reality—not to mention Divinity Transformation, even achieving Nascent Soul ahead of schedule would be nice.
At this moment, persuading Ye Linglong once again presents a great hope for success.
Of course, if Ye Linglong were to refuse, it’s of no consequence.
My husband is only over seven hundred years old and has already become a Nascent Soul master; the future holds vast potential.
Such a peerless cultivator, ordinary female cultivators cannot be matched, not even qualified to be a concubine. Only those Golden Core female cultivators with remarkable aptitude, or Nascent Soul female cultivators, have the eligibility to act as my husband’s concubines.
If Ye Linglong refuses, it would be her loss.
Ye Wanyi advised, speaking some reasoning.
Lu Xuanji listened, slightly furrowing his brows.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed.
He truly does not understand the world of women.
Just for Ye Linglong, he feels somewhat indifferent, without much desire.
"Wanyi, why do this?"
Lu Xuanji said.
Ye Wanyi said with self-deprecation, "My Lord, I increasingly feel unworthy of you. True Monarch Xiyue has the talent of a prodigy, has hopes of achieving Divinity Transformation, and can accompany my Lord for a lifetime. Ning Xue has the Taiyin Saint Body, perfectly matching my Lord’s physique, and could become an unparalleled furnace, aiding my Lord in cultivation."
"Long Xuan has the Dragon Race bloodline, with high potential for her bloodline, unfathomable. Even Hong Fu, seemingly humble and unsightly, serves to handle my Lord’s everyday affairs. As for me, I appear humble and redundant, my aptitude is average, unable to keep up with my Lord’s steps. I can only bring Linglong alongside to accompany my Lord!"
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and directly embraced her, saying, "You are you, the unique you, don’t overthink. When I reach Divinity Transformation, I will surely bring you into Divinity Transformation as well!"
"My Lord, I do not wish to be a burden!"
Ye Wanyi said, her tone firm.
"I don’t want a thousand years from now for my Lord to achieve Divinity Transformation, remaining youthful, while I am withered of longevity, my face aged!"
Lu Xuanji said, "Don’t think too much, I have a Youth-Preserving Elixir here that can keep your appearance youthful!"
Ye Wanyi said, "Youth-Preserving Elixir can maintain youthful looks but fails to change the essence of withered longevity. My aptitude is average, my perception ordinary. But Elder Sister Linglong, in perception and aptitude, she surpasses me, only lacking cultivation, which delayed herself. If one day I were to pass away, it coincides well with Elder Sister Linglong accompanying you!"
"When I paid homage to the old Clan Leader, my spirit trembled. The old Clan Leader lived to twelve hundred, finally passing away... I also imagined my own passing... I feared it, feared death!"
Ye Wanyi said, sobbing.
Lu Xuanji held her, patting her back, comforting her.
Who does not fear death!
If a mortal has a life span of mere decades, it can be ignored.
But on the path of cultivation, a Qi Cultivator lives one hundred and twenty years, Foundation Establishment two hundred and forty years, Purple Mansion four hundred and eighty years, Golden Core a thousand years, Nascent Soul two thousand years—which is never anything but striving continuously, seizing longevity each time from the Heavenly Dao.
The longer one lives, the more one fears death.
The stronger the cultivation, the longer the gain, the greater the fear of dying.
Ants are weak, unaware of cherishing life;
The Azure Dragon is powerful, excessively cherishing life.
"Wanyi, don’t worry, we’re going inside!"
Lu Xuanji said, pulling Ye Wanyi’s hand, entered into the Grotto World Pearl.
Within the Grotto World Pearl, most encounters are obscured by arrays, gray mists pervade, blocking everything.
At that moment, a box appeared in Lu Xuanji’s hand, opened to reveal a red fruit enclosed within, dense seals covering it to prevent any leakage of aura.
"Do you know what this spirit fruit is?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"What is this?"
"This is a Time Fruit!"
"Time Fruit, said to extend a cultivator’s life span by a thousand years." Ye Wanyi seemed to realize something and said, "Such a spirit fruit is of incredible value!"
Among the vast array of elixirs and spirit fruits, those capable of increasing lifespan carry the highest value.
In the Dan Yang Sect, there is a Fifth Grade Tree of Time, the fruits of which can extend a Nascent Soul cultivator’s life span by a thousand years.
Due to the Tree of Time, countless Nascent Soul cultivators flocked to pledge allegiance to the Dan Yang Sect, making it an enormous force, becoming one of Chu Country’s dominators.
"A Fifth Grade Time Fruit can extend a cultivator’s life by a thousand years; there’s also Sixth Grade Time Fruit, which extends life by three thousand years; and Seventh Grade Time Fruit, extending life by ten thousand years." Lu Xuanji said, "This spirit fruit is a Seventh Grade Time Fruit, obtained through one of my encounters."
"Consuming this Time Fruit will increase your life span by ten thousand years!"
"Ten thousand years lifespan!"
Ye Wanyi listened, only feeling her mind buzzing, her husband had such significant encounters.
Extending a hand, she wanted to snatch the fruit and consume it.
Yet at that moment, seeing her husband’s faint smile, she suppressed her greed and said, "My Lord, I don’t need it. This Time Fruit should be reserved for you; your aptitude is extraordinary, and this Time Fruit will benefit your future path greatly!"
"Consuming it myself would only be wasteful!"
Ye Wanyi smiled bitterly, suppressing her restlessness.
Long lifespan has advantages, with a long life consistently honing, the probability of breakthrough in realms increases.
Those immortal races have a higher probability of stepping into higher realms.
However, leaving it to her is wasteful.
"Wanyi, a Seventh Grade Time Fruit requires at least Divinity Transformation cultivation to consume," Lu Xuanji said, "To be precise, the best effect is achieved when consumed with Void Refining cultivation. If a Nascent Soul cultivator consumes it, only results in death from excess medicinal power."
"Then why give it to me!"
Ye Wanyi said.
"Wanyi, you may not believe in yourself, but you must believe in me!" Lu Xuanji said, "I am showing you the Seventh Grade Time Fruit to prove that I possess certain treasures for extending lifespan; there’s no need to worry blindly!"
"I understand!"
Ye Wanyi leaned on his shoulder, acting obediently.
Increasingly firm in her thoughts’ direction.
...
Just half a day later, the two returned to the Lu Family.
At this time, Changyuan Mountain had undergone major changes, Spirit Vein level upgraded to Fourth Grade Intermediate, the growth rate of Spirit Vein was fast.
Yet ultimately unable to match Lu Xuanji’s cultivation speed.
Seemingly thinking of something, Lu Xuanji’s mind moved, suddenly a Peach Tree appeared in the Medicine Garden.
Then, he started transplanting the Fifth Grade Peach Tree into the Medicine Garden, carefully nurturing it.
At the beginning, the Fifth Grade Peach Tree seemed listless but gradually, vitality intensified, starting to grow roots in Changyuan Mountain, beginning to integrate into the entire mountain range.
The Spirit Vein of Changyuan Mountain slowly progressed, advancing towards Fifth Grade.
