Chapter 4

Ji Fuyao said again, "But I know how to prevent the power it contains from dissipating."

As she spoke, Ji Fuyao extended her delicate hand, summoning a gentle spiritual flame, and at the same time, she threw out several high-grade spiritual herbs from her storage ring.

For a moment, the medicinal power contained in the spiritual herbs transformed into rays of light, surging into the dragon meat, preventing the spiritual flame within the dragon meat from dissipating.

The air was filled with a faint, fragrant aroma.

Lu Xuan asked, "What are these spiritual herbs for?"

Ji Fuyao explained, "One is Fire Fierce Grass, which can enhance the effectiveness of the fire dragon meat; one is Starlight Grass, a cold-natured spiritual herb that can neutralize the power of the spiritual flame, so the power of the fire dragon meat is not too strong; the other is..."

Lu Xuan felt a bit overwhelmed.

As long as it tastes good.

There's no need for it to be so complicated.

Seeing how focused Ji Fuyao was, Lu Xuan walked out of the thatched cottage and lay down outside to bask in the sun, muttering, "I wonder if it will taste good."

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked, "Do you usually prepare spiritual beast meat like this?"

Lu Xuan replied, "Yes."

Ji Fuyao sighed softly.

So, over the years, Lu Xuan had wasted countless cultivation resources!

On the lounge chair outside the thatched cottage, Lu Xuan basked in the sun, feeling quite pleased.

Having a disciple is great; he doesn't have to cook himself anymore!

Just then, the system's voice appeared.

"Ding! Triggered disciple cultivation task: Within three days, help Ji Fuyao reach the Profound Emperor realm! Master the Way of the Spiritual Flame! Rewards will be distributed based on completion."

Lu Xuan was stunned.

Ji Fuyao is currently at the mid-stage of Great Profound King, and to reach the Profound Emperor realm in three days is quite a rush.

But he has a lot of dragon meat, which can boost cultivation!

If that doesn't work, there are still the pills left by his master.

Even if he has to force it, he will push his realm up!

As for mastering the Way of the Spiritual Flame?

That's easy.

He has already mastered the Way of the Spiritual Flame, and with Ji Fuyao's insight, a little guidance from him would be enough.

Lu Xuan instantly felt confident and started basking in the sun again, feeling quite content.

After a while.

Ji Fuyao wiped the fragrant sweat from her face, brought out the prepared fire dragon meat, and placed it on the stone table in front of Lu Xuan.

They started eating.

Lu Xuan took a bite and commented, "It's edible."

Ji Fuyao huffed in annoyance.

She also tried a piece of the fire dragon meat, and soon, a powerful spiritual flame surged into her body. Sweat dripped from her face, and her breathing became rapid.

Although she had processed the fire dragon meat, the power it contained was still too overwhelming!

She suddenly thought that if she couldn't handle it, Lu Xuan might be in trouble.

She quickly looked at Lu Xuan and was stunned.

Lu Xuan was completely fine, not even breaking a sweat!

Hmm?

Why can't she sense Lu Xuan's realm anymore?

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "Disciple, what's wrong?"

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed; she found it hard to see through Lu Xuan.

But she didn't think too much about it.

She continued eating the dragon meat and refining the spiritual flame.

She estimated that the power contained in this plate of dragon meat was several times greater than that of the drop of dragon blood!

The loss of the dragon blood had been compensated by Lu Xuan!

After a while.

Ji Fuyao finally finished eating. She looked up and saw that Lu Xuan had already finished and was now lying on the lounge chair, basking in the sun leisurely.

At this moment, Lu Xuan turned his head and pointed to the bowls and chopsticks on the stone table, "Disciple, wash the dishes."

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao was quite displeased.

She was an Empress!

When had she ever been ordered around like this?

Does Lu Xuan really treat her as a disciple?

At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered something and opened his right hand, revealing a Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill in his palm.

"Oh, right, disciple, take this pill."

Ji Fuyao was stunned on the spot.

Her eyes sparkled with disbelief, "This, this is... a Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill!"

She recognized it at a glance!

In her previous life, she had once bought a Dao Foundation Pill at an astronomical price and consumed it.

The aura was unmistakable!

Wait.

Ji Fuyao looked at the nine pill auras on the Dao Foundation Pill, feeling shocked.

In her previous life, the one she bought at an astronomical price only had three pill auras!

But this Dao Foundation Pill had nine pill auras!

The best of the best!

She realized that this Dao Foundation Pill was of immense value, enough to cause a storm in the Southern Wasteland!

How did Lu Xuan have such a heaven-defying pill?

Her Dao Foundation was shattered, and if she could consume it, it would certainly repair her Dao Foundation!

This pill was very important to her!

Thinking of this,

Ji Fuyao's eyes were filled with a deep gaze, her body trembling, "Master, this is... the best Dao Foundation Pill!"

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and placed the Dao Foundation Pill in her delicate hand.

Ji Fuyao was stunned, "This is too precious!"

Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "What's so precious about it? I have plenty of good things. Go wash the dishes."

After a moment of silence,

Ji Fuyao bit her tender lips, "I'll wash! But only for three days!"

She put away the Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill and started cleaning up the dishes.

This Dao Foundation Pill was too precious; it could repair her Dao Foundation!

She had to accept it.

Originally, she joined the Great Dao Sect to use the "Great Dao Scripture" to repair her Dao Foundation, but now with the Heaven-grade best Dao Foundation Pill, she wouldn't just be content with repairing her Dao Foundation; she would use the "Great Dao Scripture" to create the legendary "Perfect Dao Foundation"!

A Perfect Dao Foundation... She never thought she would have a chance!

However, Ji Fuyao was a bit skeptical.

Does Lu Xuan not know how precious this Dao Foundation Pill is?

A pill of this level is a sect-level treasure!

At this moment, Lu Xuan's voice echoed.

"Disciple, remember to cook every day."

Ji Fuyao was about to refuse.

Lu Xuan took out a large piece of dragon meat and placed it on the stone table.

Ji Fuyao swallowed her words, "Three days! I'll cook for three days and wash dishes for three days!"

Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "As you wish."

He knew that after three days, there would be system rewards.

At that time...

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "By the way, Fuyao, you are currently at the Great Profound King realm, but the true disciples are at the Profound Sect realm. You can't slack off! Starting tomorrow, you must focus on cultivation."

With that, Lu Xuan left.

Looking at Lu Xuan's back, Ji Fuyao's eyes showed a complex expression.

Her master was not the waste as rumored!

The rumors were false!

Soon,

Ji Fuyao tidied up the thatched cottage and returned to her cave.

She extended her delicate hand, cast countless brilliant seals, and sat cross-legged, calming her mind. Her beautiful face showed a cold and elegant expression, and her well-proportioned figure, clad in a fiery red dress, formed a perfect curve.

She began to recall the events of the day.

She originally thought that by joining Qingxuan Peak, she would take the lead in everything.

But Lu Xuan was not simple.

She vaguely remembered that when she and Lu Xuan climbed the mountain together, she could still sense his realm, but after returning, she could no longer detect it.

And Lu Xuan casually gave her the best Dao Foundation Pill!

Is there something wrong with this Dao Foundation Pill?

Thinking of this, Ji Fuyao's hand cast a spiritual seal, using an ancient secret technique to inspect the Dao Foundation Pill. The nine pill auras flowed like stars, and the profound and mysterious aura surged, revealing the "Dao" and "Rhythm" contained in the best pill, which held terrifying power.

After a moment, Ji Fuyao's frown relaxed; there was nothing wrong with this Dao Foundation Pill.

Forget it, no more thinking.

First, she would consume this Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill!

Thinking of this, Ji Fuyao activated the ancient secret technique, and boundless mysterious aura flowed through her body. She adjusted her state to the best and directly swallowed the Dao Foundation Pill.

"Whoosh!"

As the Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill entered her mouth, a pure medicinal power surged into her, causing her body to tremble, and an indescribable tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

The "Dao" and "Rhythm" of the Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill flowed through her blood, intertwining in her veins and meridians, shining in her lungs, and reflecting in her bone marrow.

Her inner world was like a vast domain, and the power of the Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill was like countless stars illuminating the heavens!

In this brilliant divine light, her Dao Foundation emitted a dazzling light, like a giant sun burning the sky, refining the universe.

Magnificent!

Ji Fuyao couldn't help but exclaim.

"This kind of phenomenon only appeared when I reached the Sage realm in my previous life!"

"This Dao Foundation Pill is not only repairing my Dao Foundation but also improving my body, from blood to bones, from meridians to lungs... all are being transformed!"

"The value of this Dao Foundation Pill is even more precious than I imagined!"

Ji Fuyao couldn't help but think that the path of the Dao is vast, leading to the ultimate goal, but the paths are different.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to the ultimate!

Any path of the Dao, when taken to the extreme, will align with the Heavenly Dao and resonate with the universe.

This Heaven-grade Dao Foundation Pill has reached the pinnacle of alchemy, so it triggered the phenomenon in her body!

At this moment, her damaged Dao Foundation was being continuously repaired, emitting a crystal-clear light, transforming from broken to complete, from dim to dazzling.

In her body, her bones were being refined, emitting a "clanging" sound.

She was amazed; this was the "Dao" and "Rhythm" refining her!

Her blood flowed like a mighty river, flashing with a strange Dao pattern.

This was also the imprint of the Dao Foundation Pill!

Her lungs beat with the most powerful rhythm in history, each beat seemingly aligning with the Dao, and she directly comprehended a nearly perfect breathing technique!

At this moment, Ji Fuyao was shocked.

Is this the effect of the Heaven-grade best Dao Foundation Pill?

Her insight was improving!

Her meridians were being transformed!

Her Dao Foundation became flawless!

Her hair was crystal clear, and her body emitted a holy light, like a goddess descending, her skin becoming even more white and tender, like a newborn baby.

Ji Fuyao's heart was filled with a surging wave.

She was transforming!
