Chapter 72: Watching the Whip (Please Add to Favorites)

Page 1 of 3

Because Song Zhiqiao was a third-level Qi Refining cultivator and had only recently tasted pleasure for the first time, it was already quite remarkable that she lasted a full hour against Li Guanxuan, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Watching his green tea sister slip into a deep sleep, Li Guanxuan gently licked his lips.

He never understood before what was meant by the phrase “a slender figure swaying like a palace beauty,” but tonight, he finally grasped it.

Qin Jiye’s legs and hips, as well as her cleansing milk, were truly exquisite.

Though not as exaggerated as his master, Liu Xiaoxian, she too belonged in the category of golden proportions.

Wen Rongxin, on the other hand, possessed remarkable flexibility and skin elasticity—traits unique to physical cultivators. Her figure might not be as devilishly alluring as Qin Jiye’s, but it was distinctive in its own right.

As for Song Zhiqiao…

She perfectly embodied the phrase: petite, supple, and easy to topple.

Elegant and reserved beneath the canopy, wild and passionate atop the bed, her demeanor made it impossible for him not to immerse himself in relentless labor.

“Let her rest for a bit. I’ll wake her later…”

“Let’s see if the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree has changed—that’s what matters. After all, I only have five years to complete Foundation Establishment.”

Li Guanxuan mused inwardly, then sat cross-legged, sending a spirit stone into the dark space to inspect the situation within.

Of his four spiritual roots—metal, wood, fire, earth—the metal and fire roots were particularly robust, while the wood and earth roots appeared much shorter.

But now…

The wood root was beginning to show signs of growth.

In terms of skills, a large “Array” character emerged, radiating dazzling green light.

“As expected, dual cultivation with Zhiqiao enhances my array techniques.”

“Moreover, the celestial energy produced after dual cultivation with Zhiqiao contains more vitality, likely related to the longevity of the wood root…”

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Guanxuan’s face.

With Song Zhiqiao’s wood-type celestial energy, the maturation of spirit medicines would likely accelerate, solving his most pressing problem.

After all, he needed to refine pills, draw talismans, and cultivate. He couldn’t devote too much celestial energy to pill refining and talisman drawing—he had to ensure his own absorption as well.

Li Guanxuan opened his eyes. After refining Song Zhiqiao’s wood-type celestial energy, he felt significantly more invigorated.

“The ‘Wandering Dragon and Phoenix Method’ is no longer useful for me—it can’t support my intense cultivation. Tomorrow, I’ll find Zheng Huangjin and buy that ‘Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Fate Technique’ and sell those four Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Li Guanxuan still had two headaches. Glancing at the deeply sleeping Song Zhiqiao, he left a clone behind and headed toward the main house.

“H-husband? Weren’t you sleeping with Zhiqiao tonight? Why…”

Wen Rongxin wanted to ask why he’d come over.

Seeing that oversized head, she blushed and spat lightly.

No need to ask—she knew that Zhiqiao must have fainted.

“Zhiqiao’s constitution is lacking. When you have time, guide her more so her cultivation catches up. Tomorrow, I’ll refine some breakthrough pills for her. Hopefully, she can last two hours,” Li Guanxuan chuckled.

“Bad—bad man~”

Though she said so, Wen Rongxin, already an old married couple, proactively welcomed him.

Displaying astonishing flexibility unique to physical cultivators…

One sang, the other pressed forward.

…

Three hours later.

Wen Rongxin, drenched in fragrant sweat, utterly exhausted, her delicate body quivering ever so slightly, was too tired to even struggle and promptly slipped into a deep sleep.

Li Guanxuan, extracting his carrot from the mud, learned from his clone that Song Zhiqiao had woken up and recovered. He gulped down a large mouthful of deer antler spirit wine, regaining his status as a golden kidney warrior, then headed toward the side room.

Upon entering, the clone dissolved into particles and merged into Li Guanxuan’s body, while he sat, bare and bold, on the chair, adopting a stance of resigned waiting, beckoning as he said:

“Come, sit on my whip.”

Song Zhiqiao’s pretty face flushed. Now a married woman, her shyness had faded. Instead, she was eager for another taste, happily throwing herself into his arms, shyly saying:

“How is brother still so firm… Hmm, there’s a hint of wine in your breath. Brother, you didn’t secretly drink medicinal wine, did you? No, I trust you… Ah.”

The next moment, Song Zhiqiao cried out in surprise, collapsing into Li Guanxuan’s embrace.

Li Guanxuan held her slender waist, smiling slyly: “Don’t use those lines on brother, or I’ll have to apply family discipline.”

“I willingly accept punishment,” Song Zhiqiao whispered sweetly in his ear.

“How dare you challenge the head of the family? Taste the whip!”

Li Guanxuan, feigning rage, plunged straight in.

…

The next morning.

Li Guanxuan had just stepped outside when he ran into the neighboring artifact master, Cao Mang.

“Brother Li!”

Cao Mang quickly greeted him, almost pleading as he looked at Li Guanxuan. “Brother Li, please, help me create a wife!”

Li Guanxuan pondered for a moment and said, “Wait for me here.”

“Alright!”

Cao Mang’s eyes shone with hope.

Back in his cultivation chamber, Li Guanxuan wrote out the materials needed to upgrade Exploding Boy.

Some of the materials could only be crafted by artifact masters. Conveniently, Cao Mang was a first-class top-tier artifact master—these materials would be easy for him.

With these, Exploding Boy could at least be upgraded to second-tier… Li Guanxuan thought it over, then went out, handed the blueprint and materials to Cao Mang, and said:

“These are the materials needed for your wife. Get them for me, and I’ll seclude myself to create her for you.”

“Brother Li, I’ll never forget your great kindness!”

Cao Mang was deeply moved.

“No need for formality,” Li Guanxuan waved dismissively. After all, these were the materials for his own second-tier puppet upgrade.

As for Cao Mang’s wife…

A random first-tier top-quality defensive female puppet would suffice.

On his way to the Third Marketplace, Li Guanxuan witnessed several demon cultivators engaged in fierce battles.

He usually detoured around such scenes.

This spirit city was founded by the demon clan, and since ancient times, demon cultivators have been synonymous with anger, violence, and aggression.

Wherever they appeared, bloodshed followed.

Fortunately, the Silver Maple City Lord had issued an order: fight if you must, cause trouble if you like, but do not toy with the lives of rogue cultivators. Any demon cultivator who dared trample upon them would be the first to die by his hand.

To the Silver Maple City Lord, developing the spirit city depended entirely on these “wheat” rogue cultivators.

After all, those willing to farm, gather, or mine were almost exclusively rogue cultivators.

Thus, spirit cities established by the demon clan were actually safer for rogue cultivators.

Arriving at the Myriad Pavilion—

When Li Guanxuan presented four Foundation Establishment Pills, Zheng Huangjin nearly bowed with excitement.

“Brother, you are truly a benefactor in my life!” Zheng Huangjin exclaimed, deeply moved.

Four Foundation Establishment Pills, each boasting a thirty percent success rate, were rarely refined by anyone.

Placed in the auction house, they were four heavy bombs!

He’d thought Elder Liu would pressure Li Guanxuan to sell her these pills, but unexpectedly, Li Guanxuan kept them for him.

How could he not be moved?

“Let’s not talk about benefactors yet, brother. I still have five years to reach Foundation Establishment—otherwise, I’ll be over sixty.”

Li Guanxuan sighed, “I’ll come to you again in a year. For now, bring me the ‘Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Fate Technique’ and the puppet materials on this list. I need to hurry back and cultivate.”

“No problem!”

Zheng Huangjin showed no surprise at the puppet materials.

After all, Elder Liu was a third-tier puppet master.

As her disciple, Li Guanxuan was bound to study the puppet arts.

Having received all he needed, Li Guanxuan left the Myriad Pavilion.

He wandered the marketplace for a bit, then changed his attire and returned to Peaceful Courtyard.

Then, he headed straight for Song Zhiqiao’s boudoir…

With the green tea sister’s help in grinding, the old wolf brush effortlessly created a stunning image: “After sunset, as people depart, birds return to their nests.”
