Sharing the Universe from Douluo Continent

Chapter 222 Concubine Xiao Cui'er (Third update, please vote)
You must know that for ordinary pseudo-spiritual root cultivators, it is extremely difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone break through to the Core Formation Stage.

Therefore, in the eyes of casual cultivators with relatively poor talent for cultivation, the defect of the Demon-Slaying Technique that it cannot form a pill is not a defect at all.

Moreover, Dai Changsheng can also share the cultivation method of the Demon-Slaying Technique with his selves in other worlds.

Even in a world where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very thin, one can practice the Demon-Slaying Technique by devouring blood and food instead of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

What's more, although the lifespan of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is not as long as that of a cultivator in the Core Formation Stage, they can still easily live to around two hundred years old.

If [Qin Shi·Dai Changsheng] taught the Demon-Slaying Art to the Six Sword Slaves, they would not feel that they were being used as cannon fodder, but would be grateful to [Qin Shi·Dai Changsheng] instead.

To give a simple example, it is like aliens want to enslave the humans on Earth, but the slavery conditions they offer are that they need to work four hours a day, have only three days off a week, and a monthly salary of only 100,000 yuan.

……

next morning
Beyond the capital, to Xianyun Restaurant.

"I didn't know you were coming, Senior. I, Xiao Zhen, failed to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."

In the private room on the top floor of Xianyun Restaurant, Xiao Zhen, dressed in a green robe and with white hair, was bowing to Dai Changsheng with his precious granddaughter Xiao Cui'er, with a look of respect on his face.

Although Xiao Zhen appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous.

After all, Xiao Zhen didn't expect that he would be visited by a Foundation Establishment Stage boss all of a sudden while he was staying at home.

"Don't be nervous. I have no ill will towards you."

Dai Changsheng said half-truthfully, "I just happened to pass by here and noticed that the breath-retention technique you used was a little special, so I wanted to borrow it."

In fact, Dai Changsheng’s real target was not the breath-concealing technique practiced by Xiao Zhen and the others, but Xiao Cuier, who was disguised as a man.

If the plot had developed according to the original novel, Xiao Cui'er should have joined the Huangfeng Valley under the leadership of Han Li, and finally successfully cultivated to the Jindan stage through her own efforts.

In the original novel, Xiao Cui'er was able to cultivate to the Jindan stage with her dual-attribute spiritual roots, which shows that her talent and luck in cultivation are not bad, so Dai Changsheng is ready to recruit this good seedling under his command.

"Senior, the breath-holding technique I'm practicing is something I learned from this ancient book I accidentally found. Please review it."

Xiao Zhen didn't know Dai Changsheng's true intention, and thought that he really came for the technique of concealing his breath. He hurriedly took out a beast skin book from his storage bag and handed it to Dai Changsheng with some trepidation.

"Crash..."

Dai Changsheng took the animal skin book, flipped through it quickly, and then nodded slightly and said, "Not bad! This book is quite useful to me, so I will accept it.

However, I am not a person who likes to take things by force. If you need anything, you can tell me.

Whether it's spirit stones, elixirs, or magical instruments, as long as the conditions are not too outrageous, I will do my best to satisfy you."

When Xiao Zhen heard Dai Changsheng's words, he felt relieved. He didn't mind giving the animal skin book to Dai Changsheng, but he was worried that Dai Changsheng would kill people to steal the treasure. Fortunately, this person was willing to talk some reason.

"Senior, could you please allow me to discuss this for a moment?"

Facing Xiao Zhen's expectant gaze, Dai Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen quickly pulled Xiao Cui'er aside and whispered, "Senior, we've made up our minds. We don't want those material possessions anymore."

Soon the two of them had reached an agreement. Xiao Zhen said with a smile on his face, "My granddaughter admires you for your profound cultivation. I would like to become your disciple and serve you. I hope you will grant my wish."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As soon as Xiao Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Cui'er fell to her knees with a plop and kowtowed three times to Dai Changsheng.

"Alright, don't kowtow so quickly. Come here first and let me check your spiritual roots."

"Yes, senior."

When Xiao Cui'er heard what Dai Changsheng said, she quickly got up from the ground and shyly stretched out her white wrist towards him.

Dai Changsheng stretched out his right hand slowly and gently grasped Xiao Cui'er's wrist. He used his spiritual energy to detect it and muttered to himself, "Not bad! She actually has dual spiritual roots. This is already a very good qualification."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Cui'er were immediately delighted, thinking that Dai Changsheng would agree to take them as his disciples.

Dai Changsheng glanced at the two people who wanted to open the champagne at halftime, shook his head in a helpless manner and said, "It's a pity that I already have two direct disciples and have no plans to accept more."

"..."

When Xiao Cui'er and the others heard this, the smiles on their faces froze instantly.

Just as the Xiao family's grandparents showed disappointment, they heard Dai Changsheng continue, "Don't be disappointed. Although I have no plans to accept a disciple, with this girl's qualifications, she can stay by my side as a concubine."

"Be...be a concubine?"

Seeing that Dai Changsheng wanted to take her as a concubine, Xiao Cui'er, who was only sixteen years old, was so shy that she couldn't even speak complete sentences.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"Yes! Yes!"

Before Xiao Cui'er could even open her mouth, Xiao Zhen responded, "It's a blessing for this girl that the senior is interested in her."

For a casual cultivator like Xiao Cui'er who has no background, even if she is just a concubine of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is a great blessing!
After all, any bit of cultivation resources that leak out from the fingers of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is enough to benefit a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage endlessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui'er no longer cared about being shy and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, don't rush to agree. I don't even know where you came from."

Although Xiao Cui'er also knew that being a concubine of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage would definitely be more comfortable than being a casual cultivator, what if Dai Changsheng was a cultivator of the Demonic Path, or even a demonic cultivator who specialized in the art of collecting and replenishing energy, wouldn't that be asking her to jump into a fire pit?
"You are quite clever, girl. You are more suitable to be a cultivator than your grandfather."

Dai Changsheng first praised Xiao Cui'er, then said with pride: "There is nothing to hide about my origins. My surname is Dai, and my courtesy name is Changsheng. I am the fifth-ranked disciple of Li Huayuan, the Jindan Elder of Huangfeng Valley!

If you are willing to be my concubine, these two top-grade magical instruments and five hundred low-grade spirit stones will serve as your betrothal gifts."

Dai Changsheng raised his hand and waved it, and suddenly a pile of low-grade spirit stones, as well as a defensive magic weapon and an offensive magic weapon appeared on the tea table in front of him.
