Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was always a choice in life.
In front of such a beautiful, sleeping, defenseless Taoist nun, there was only one movement separating action from inaction.
With his mouth parched and his tongue scorched, Xu Que shook his head and sighed, “It’s tempting!”
Indeed, it was a temptation very hard to resist. However, his mind kept reminding him that he should not mess with this celestial-like woman.
Although this Taoist nun was sleeping, she was more like a sleeping ferocious beast who could awake at any moment.
Xu Que was not good at resisting temptation. However, he could always stay vigilant for these pie-in-the-sky issues and calculate their risks.
After some thought, he decided it was too risky to touch the woman!
For instance, what if she opened her eyes while he was half-dressed?
It seemed the excuse of taking off his clothes because of the hot weather wouldn’t fool her.
Also, what if she opened her eyes when he was about to enter her body?
This was no longer a one-way bet. He would be killed on the spot!
No, this is too risky. Only a fool could risk his life to have s.e.x with a woman!
After realizing that, Xu Que sat up and said justly and severely, “As a well-read scholar and upright gentleman, I will never do nasty things like that!”
Then, he looked at his Taoist Body and said earnestly, “There are too many temptations in this world, which always try to degenerate us! I didn’t realize this before. However, today I realized that we should be calm in front of these pie-in-the-sky issues. We can’t be controlled by our physical desires! What? You don’t believe me? Let me show you something!”
The Taoist Body, “…”
Xu Que said, “See, I’ve put one hand on her bosom. But I am still quite calm and stable!”
The Taoist Body, “…”
Xu Que said, “Now I have put two hands on her bosom and even gripped for 3 times! However, I could still keep a straight face!”
The Taoist Body, “…”
Xu Que said, “Now I am going to take off her Taoist robe …”
Ding! “Warning! Warning! The System detected the Host is doing something dangerous! Please stop immediately!”
Hearing the warning tone of the System, Xu Que’s expression changed and he stepped back immediately.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead!
He also felt an inexplicable sense of danger. It seemed he would be endangered if he took off the Taoist robe.
“d.a.m.n! This woman is wicked setting up restrictive spells on her clothes! Wait! Is this Taoist robe . . . a magic artifact?” Xu Que was shocked and fixed his widened eyes on the Taoist nun’s clothes.
The danger just now had been caused by the Taoist robe, which might protect its owner like a legendary magical artifact!
“No wonder she dares to perform secluded cultivation defenselessly. She’s protected by this magical artifact! Forget it! As an ascetic gentleman, I will not be controlled by my physical desires! Let me handle business first!”
Xu Que had stopped his mischievous actions in time. Although he also wanted to obtain the Taoist robe, he was not strong enough to take it off!
In addition, he didn’t want to waste more time here. After all, this beautiful Taoist nun could wake up at any time. If Xiao Rou’s revival was delayed by his mischievous actions, it would be a disaster!
Xu Que summoned the System. “System, check the content of the Spiritual Qi and prepare to refine the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid!”
Ding! After several breaths, the System replied, “Through detection, the content of the Spiritual Qi outside this room is sixty percent, and the content of the Spiritual Qi inside this room is eighty percent!”
“What?” Xu Que was shocked. “Why is the difference between the indoor content and the outdoor content so big?” He started glancing around with squinted eyes.
“So that explains it!” Just as he’d expected, this small stone house was extraordinary. It seemed the walls were quite shabby. However, they were full of spell formations, which had formed a powerful Soul Gathering Array!
“Maybe this stone house has existed for a long time and the spell formations have faded out. Luckily, I was reminded by the System. It is quite difficult for ordinary cultivators to identify it,” Xu Que murmured in a low voice.
Actually, after he entered this room, his eyes had fixed on the Taoist nun’s body. Otherwise, he would have immediately discovered the spell formations.
However, the Soul Gathering Array in the stone house was really great news for Xu Que.
The System used to tell him that the higher the Spiritual Qi’s content was, the more powerful Xiao Rou’s reshaped body would be—it could even be the Five Elements Chaotic Body! This kind of physique was even more horrible than Xu Que’s Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Roots!
The Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Roots implied five types of Celestial Spiritual Roots. As long as resources were sufficient, a cultivator with Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Roots would realize speedy progress in their cultivation. Also, the owner would have abundant True Core Strength, which was much more powerful than other cultivators at the same cultivation stage. Meanwhile, the owner could easily learn and use magic arts of the Five Elements.
The Five Elements Chaotic Body meant the owners had five Chaotic Spiritual Roots, which were one grade higher than the Celestial Spiritual Roots. Almost n.o.body in this world could have that kind of physique!
Destined to be favored by the Heavens, the owners of this physique would have no bottlenecks during cultivation and didn’t need to cross Heavenly Tribulations. When someone tried to kill the owners of this physique, the Heavens would drop divine retribution to protect them.
This was because the chaos and the Heavens had the same origin!
“After the revival of Xiao Rou, she will definitely be extraordinary if she has this physique!” Xu Que smiled in satisfaction but he didn’t envy that.
Although he was the owner of the Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Roots, once he decided to acquire a magic art outside the category of the Five Elements—such as the magic power of thunders he had learned—the System would add the Celestial Thunder Spiritual Root to his body automatically. Once he could sc.r.a.pe together all the Celestial Spiritual Roots, he would become the Complete Taoist Fetus. This could make him immortal!
Of course, their physique was a cultivator’s natural advantage. Their achievements and progress in cultivation depended on the cultivator’s efforts and opportunities.
Therefore, Xu Que decided to strive for the best physique for Xiao Rou, so that she could have a relatively easy time in cultivation in future.Xu Que walked to the bed in the corner of the stone room and took out the five Genesis Herbs as well as plenty of Living Holy Water. At last, he took out Xiao Rou’s soul which was sleeping in the Soul PaG.o.da.
“Start the refinery of the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid to revive Xiao Rou!”
Ding!
“All conditions have been reached. Start the refinery now!”
Following the System’s warning tone, Xiao Rou’s soul was immediately wrapped in the magnificent Living Holy Water and then held up in the air by a formless power. Then, fives colors of Spiritual Qi pouring from the five Genesis Herbs started to interweave and gushed toward the Living Holy Water.
The refinery of the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid was the process of reshaping a body. When the refinery finished, the reshaped body would appear!
Of course, the System did the refinery. After all, Xu Que’s current strength and skill were far from enough to reshape a body.
The System also did the revival. This really relieved Xu Que because it meant the chance of success could basically reach 100 percent!
Ding! “Congratulations to Host Xu Que for accomplis.h.i.+ng the task of gathering the prescription of the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid. The reward is a mysterious item. The Host’s alchemy skill has also upgraded. Now the Host is a Four-Star Alchemist!”
A task?
Xu Que was stunned a moment, and then he remembered that when he had purchased the prescription, he had no idea what all the ingredients were.
However, the System turned searching for the prescription into a task and had guided him to find the five Genesis Herbs. The System now deemed the commencement of the refinery the accomplishment of the task. The System was now also giving him additional rewards, which surprised him.
But Xu Que was not pleasantly surprised. On the contrary, Xu Que frowned and shook his head. “I don’t want these rewards. For me, the revival of Xiao Rou is not a task but a promise to guard what is good. Please don’t insult my promise with these rewards!”
The System’s tone came in again. Ding! “The task reward is a mystery item—the Red Rope of Marriage. Is the Host really going to reject it?”
The Red Rope of Marriage?
Xu Que’s eyes widened. “No! I want it! Do you have something else like this? Please insult me to your heart’s content!”
