Chapter 19

Leaving the TK bar, Qin Xuan held the frail body of a strange woman and hailed a taxi.

"Kid, you sure have good luck with the ladies!"

The driver glanced at the half-unconscious woman and chuckled.

Qin Xuan naturally didn't respond, just smiled faintly. The driver, feeling awkward, didn't say more.

In the car, the faint fragrance from the woman's body kept wafting into his nostrils, and her hands tightly encircled his waist.

The softness of her chest pressed firmly against his chest.

This feeling would have made anyone else ecstatic, but Qin Xuan's brows couldn't help but furrow.

His body in the previous life had been coveted by countless celestial maidens, and now he was so intimate with a stranger, making him feel as if he was being taken advantage of.

He frowned and shifted his body to keep a distance from the woman. Unexpectedly, she shrank slightly and moved closer, hugging him tightly again.

"Does she really treat me like a pillow?"

Qin Xuan laughed wryly, feeling somewhat helpless.

In the end, he could only let her have her way for the sake of the spirit crystal.

At the Tranquil Water Pearl, Qin Xuan slowly got out of the car, carried the woman directly into the villa, and placed her on the bed in a room.

He took out the jade pendant from her chest, held it between his hands, and carefully examined the emerald green jade.

The jade had no carvings, was entirely emerald green, and shimmered with a faint luster under the light, resembling an egg.

Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel relieved that the spirit crystal hadn't been carved; otherwise, it would have been completely destroyed.

He held the jade and went to the living room, sitting cross-legged. He placed the spirit crystal in front of him, palms facing up.

The Eternal Green Scripture subtly circulated, and the emerald green spirit crystal emitted a faint luster, gradually floating in the air.

Pure spiritual energy slowly overflowed from the spirit crystal, rushing into Qin Xuan's body.

As the Eternal Green Scripture circulated, this spiritual energy flowed through Qin Xuan's meridians, completing a full cycle before returning to the dantian.

Qin Xuan's mind sank into the dantian. With each cycle, a stream of pure spiritual energy flowed into the spirit sea, gradually expanding it.

At the Qi Condensation stage, the spirit sea can be up to nine zhang. Every three zhang of the spirit sea is one rank, and nine zhang is the peak of the upper rank, which can form a sea into a pill. In the cultivation world, there are even more extraordinary beings who can form a ten-zhang spirit sea, known as the Great Perfection, symbolizing a perfect foundation.

The spirit sea is also divided into various attributes, such as the basic five elements or higher-level spirit attributes like wind, thunder, ice, and light. According to legend, there are even extreme yin and yang attributes and divine attributes that involve space and time.

Each attribute represents a cultivator's talent, and the Eternal Green Scripture cultivates the basic wood attribute.

The greenish-blue color represents the wood attribute.

Qin Xuan's spirit sea was also greenish-blue, continuously expanding. Over time, the one-zhang spirit sea slowly increased to two zhang, with the greenish-blue sea showing no ripples.

Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly opened, and at that moment, a greenish light flashed in his eyes. His breath rushed out like a bolt of silk, gradually dissipating into the air.

"Indeed, with the help of the spirit crystal, cultivation is almost twice as efficient!" Qin Xuan smiled lightly, reaching out to take the spirit crystal from the air and examining it. The originally slightly lustrous spirit crystal was now even more transparent, occasionally flashing with a luster.

The external appearance didn't change much, but Qin Xuan knew that half of the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal had been absorbed by him.

Looking at the sky, it was already late at night. Qin Xuan took a deep breath, his expression slightly serious.

This time, he began to prepare to refine the Eternal Green Body.

Humans are the pinnacle of all beings, capable of cultivating the Dao of heaven and earth and understanding the cause and effect of Buddhism. However, their bodies are exceptionally weak. The body is the vessel that carries oneself, and in Buddhism, the human body is likened to a sea of suffering. Cultivating Qi is also about opening the spirit sea, escaping the sea of suffering, and reaching the other shore.

After all, humans have an inherent disadvantage in their bodies, and few are willing to neglect the fundamentals and focus on body cultivation.

However, the Eternal Green Scripture is both a cultivation and body refinement method, and the Eternal Green Body is the most important part of the Eternal Green Scripture.

The demon races have dragons and phoenixes, which can tear apart tigers and leopards and feed on pythons from birth, making them the supreme beings. Among the myriad races of the starry sky, there are also peculiar races like the ancient race, whose children can lift a thousand-jin tripod and split a ten-zhang stone, possessing extraordinary talent.

The essence of the Eternal Green Body is to refine the body to be comparable to dragons and phoenixes, capable of battling the ancient race, and to achieve immortality.

The first gathering of the spirit sea in the Qi Condensation stage of the Eternal Green Scripture symbolizes the gathering of the spirit sea and the blood sea.

The blood sea is located in the heart, the leader of the five organs.

After making his decision, Qin Xuan focused his mind, slightly opened his lips, and a stream of emerald green energy flew out from the spirit crystal, directly entering his abdomen.

Instantly, Qin Xuan felt as if a flame was burning in his abdomen, and his entire body trembled slightly.

Body refinement requires far more willpower and endurance of pain than ordinary cultivation.

Sweat began to bead on Qin Xuan's body, gradually soaking his clothes. After a moment, he was drenched in sweat, as if drenched by a heavy rain.

His skin was covered in protruding veins, and mist rose.

In his heart, drops of essence blood gradually condensed. According to the circulation of the Eternal Green Scripture, his blood qi surged, rushing into his heart.

This process was extremely painful, but Qin Xuan's brows never furrowed. His expression remained calm, showing no signs of pain.

As the sky began to lighten, Qin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He slowly stood up, his body covered in a layer of sticky sweat and filth, a result of the spirit energy refining his body.

In his heart, a one-zhang blood sea slowly churned, and the Eternal Green Body was finally initially refined.

Qin Xuan smiled and suddenly threw a punch.

In the air, the air was violently compressed, exploding with a loud bang.

The sound of the air explosion echoed throughout the villa. Fortunately, the villa had excellent soundproofing, and Qin Xuan wasn't worried about waking the woman.

This punch could have easily killed a brown bear.

This was just the initial refinement of the Eternal Green Body. When cultivated to the Great Perfection, Qin Xuan could even fight a true dragon and subdue a celestial phoenix with his bare hands.

The benefits of the Eternal Green Body didn't end there. Qin Xuan's fingers, like a knife, lightly slid across his skin, creating a small cut on his palm, from which blood oozed.

In Qin Xuan's gaze, the small cut began to heal, albeit slowly, but much faster than normal. In just a few minutes, the cut had completely disappeared.

"Finally refined, but this spirit crystal is now useless!" Qin Xuan sighed lightly. The spirit crystal in his hand had completely lost its spiritual energy and was no different from an ordinary stone.

He went directly to the bathroom and took a refreshing shower, then changed into a new set of clothes.

Outside, the sky was already bright. Qin Xuan glanced at the time, just about to leave, when a sharp scream echoed throughout the villa.

Even the soundproofing of the Tranquil Water Pearl couldn't block out this scream, which was filled with fear, panic, and shame.

Qin Xuan's brows furrowed, and he sighed, holding the jade pendant.

The woman had woken up!
