Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Looking at Xiaobai's elegant and refined face, and smelling her alluring fragrance, Zhang Xiaofan said:

"You forgot, I told you about the pseudo-immortal method before."

"Of course I remember." Little White nodded, found a small rock to sit on, put her snow-white feet in the stream, and said:

"You said that the method of pseudo-immortality can allow cultivators who have not reached the realm of true immortality to have the ability of true immortals to live forever."

"Moreover, after becoming a pseudo-immortal, one's strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Although one will not have the terrifying abilities of a true immortal, one will still be able to obtain strength above the peak of Taiqing, like Dao Xuan Zhenren who has activated the Heavenly Secret Seal and unleashed the full power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

"The Beast God is also at that level."

"But back then you said it wasn't perfect yet. Does that mean you've now perfected the pseudo-immortal technique?"

"Mm." Zhang Xiaofan nodded.

"That's great, you're amazing!" Xiaobai was overjoyed and kept praising Xiaofan.

Moreover, she absolutely believed that Zhang Xiaofan would definitely help her achieve the pseudo-immortal status.

So, Xiaobai looked at Zhang Xiaofan, opened her arms, and said:

"Come on, I'm ready. Help me become a pseudo-immortal. Then, when we attack Burning Incense Valley, I won't need your help; I can do it all by myself."

"Ahem..." Zhang Xiaofan coughed twice as he watched Xiaobai open his arms, ready to receive the pseudo-immortal technique, and solemnly stared at Xiaobai, saying:
"Little White, you will have to pay a price for becoming a pseudo-immortal."

"The price?" Xiaobai murmured, her heart tightening at the solemn look on Zhang Xiaofan's face. She had a bad feeling, so she touched her exquisite face with her delicate hand and asked nervously:
"What price?"

"They're not going to turn me into an ugly monster, are they?"

"If that were the case, I would not become a pseudo-immortal. After all, beauty is what truly belongs to me. I prefer my beauty to immortality."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, looked Xiaobai up and down her alluring and perfect body, and said:

"All things in heaven and earth need the harmony of yin and yang to be perfect."

"This pseudo-immortal method is defying the heavens. It forcibly grants the ability to live forever without becoming a true immortal, and it requires the balance of yin and yang."

"And the object of this Yin-Yang harmony is the person who uses the pseudo-immortal method, and there is also a true immortal who has mastered the pseudo-immortal method, and a special true immortal at that."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and then understood what Zhang Xiaofan meant.

So, he patted his chest and smiled broadly:

"I thought it would be some serious price to pay, but it turns out it's just about balancing yin and yang. That's fine."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaofan looked at Xiaobai's smiling face and asked in confusion:

"How come you don't seem flustered at all, but instead appear incredibly relaxed?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai beckoned to Zhang Xiaofan with her finger.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan sat down next to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai's slender, fair fingers gently hooked Zhang Xiaofan's chin, her elegant and alluring eyes fixed on him as she breathed softly:
“You are truly handsome. In the past five thousand years, I have only seen two such people. One is the Beast God, and the other is you.”

"The Beast God is formed from a delicate body. Although he is handsome, he is too effeminate. I don't like him at all."

"And you, your personality suits my taste, I have fallen in love with you, and you are so handsome, and you are a true immortal, while I can obtain a pseudo-immortal body."

"Tell me, am I happy or sad?"

Looking at Xiaobai so close to him, Zhang Xiaofan exclaimed, "I'm so happy!"

"Correct answer." Xiaobai blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced around, and said:
"Where do you think is the best place to perform the pseudo-immortal technique?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked around, pointed to a pool of water above the stream, and said:
"What do you think of that place?"

"Very good." The little white jade finger lightly touched Zhang Xiaofan's forehead, then stepped onto the pool with her jade-like feet, and her bewitching voice rang out: "Let's go, I need you to help me achieve the pseudo-immortal method."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan walked towards the pool...

Water splashed everywhere, and clear stream water flowed down the creek, carrying some blood.

The fish in the stream frolic happily in the water...

Three hours later!
Zhang Xiaofan sat by the stream, with a campfire in front of him. He was using the Blood Soul Sword to skewer a Soft Bone Rabbit, which floated above the fire and roasted it.

Xiao Bai leaned on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, her beautiful face flushed, her hands holding one of Zhang Xiaofan's large hands.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed.

Because, after helping Xiaobai achieve pseudo-immortality, his immortal power actually increased greatly, which was an unexpected surprise.

The reason for the surge in immortal power was actually Xiaobai's primordial yin.

At the same time as he comprehended the method of pseudo-immortality, he also comprehended the method of dual cultivation. When the other party achieves pseudo-immortality, their primordial yin body can nourish his immortal power, greatly increasing his immortal power.

To his utter surprise, Xiaobai was actually a primordial yin body.

He originally planned to go to Incense Valley and then find the witch Linglong. He intended to help Linglong achieve a pseudo-immortal body, and then use that knowledge to nourish him, greatly increasing his immortal power.

But he never imagined that Xiaobai could also greatly increase his immortal power.

He had just broken through to the True Immortal realm, and was at the first level of True Immortal.

Now, he has broken through to the second level of True Immortal.

After his immortal power surged, he gained even more confidence in the arrival of that mysterious true immortal.

Overjoyed, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Xiaobai leaning on his shoulder and said affectionately:

"Xiaobai, isn't Xiaoliu your son? How come..."

Xiao Bai smiled, drew circles on Zhang Xiaofan's chest with his index finger, and said:

"Xiao Liu is of course my son, a son I've raised for six hundred years."

"But I never said that he was my son."

"Where did Xiao Liu come from?" Zhang Xiaofan asked curiously.

Xiao Bai looked into the distance, towards the direction of Fox Ridge Mountain, and said:

"It's all because of my willful little sister, Xiao Chi."

"Ah..." Zhang Xiaofan was slightly startled, something suddenly occurred to him, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Chi is Bi Yao's mother. What does this have to do with my mother-in-law whom I've never even met?"

Xiao Bai left Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, sat next to him on the stone platform, and said with a look of reminiscence on his face:
"As you know, in the thousand years since I moved the fox demon clan from the southern border to the central land, the central land has had beautiful stories of fox demons falling in love with scholars."

“At that time, every few years or decades, a member of the tribe would fall in love with a human man.”

"My younger sister, Xiao Chi, is no exception. Xiao Chi's talent for cultivation was originally almost the same as mine. She was definitely able to become a nine-tailed celestial fox at the Taiqing realm, just like me."

"However, Xiao Chi is not very interested in power, but is fascinated by love. Nine hundred years ago, during a trip down the mountain, she fell in love with a down-on-his-luck scholar."

"After falling in love, she gave birth to a son. But on the way Xiao Chi gave birth to Xiao Liu, demonic energy permeated the air. A highly skilled master from the righteous path discovered her demonic aura."

"So, taking advantage of Xiao Chi's weakness during childbirth, the Taoist priest prepared to slay the demon. When the scholar saw that the Taoist priest wanted to kill Xiao Chi, he blocked his way."

"The Taoist priest revealed that Xiao Chi was a fox demon. The scholar, being a man of feeling, still stood in front of the Taoist priest even after learning that Xiao Chi was a fox demon."
