Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 37 She gave too much~ Fortunately, Yunmo

what--

Mo Xue's lips trembled slightly, and as her mouth opened and closed a little, there were already signs of her breathing out.

Qiu Yun quickly squeezed her older sister's hand in her sleeve to avoid losing her composure. Mo Xue lowered her head and sat down with Qiu Yun beside Luo Fanchen, seemingly trying to surround him, while her eyes remained wary as she watched Yun Mo.

She had met Yunmo once before, and was deeply impressed by this rather beautiful fairy.

Yunmo's appearance is not as good as Qiuyun's, but she is better than her. In addition, she is proper in her conduct, thoughtful, and has a cultivation level of six Qi Refining. She is a steward of Jubaoge, but she is particularly fond of Master Luo.

Not only did they present numerous treasures, but now they've personally come to visit, displaying a humble attitude—they must have something in mind!
Mo Xue felt a strong sense of crisis, fearing that Yun Mo would take away Master Luo's affection in the future.

"not good."

At the same time, Yunmo thought to himself, "This is bad."

She immediately sensed the two women's hostility and finally realized that she had intruded into their territory.

Fortunately, Mo Xue's hostility did not last long. After Luo Fanchen untied the cauldron and held the bear meat in front of everyone, the tempting aroma made her swallow incessantly, her mind became dizzy, and thinking became difficult.

"I must thank Fairy Yunmo this time. If it weren't for the bear meat you gave me, I would be short of money and wouldn't have the confidence to host a banquet for you all."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xue pouted slightly, temporarily suppressing her hostility, and reluctantly forced a stiff smile at Yun Mo.

She understood the principle that one is obligated to others for their food.

"You flatter me, sir."

Yunmo smiled apologetically, though he was somewhat reserved, but inwardly delighted by the kindness shown by the adult.

She immediately called for Xiao Cui to bring out the three brocade boxes that had been prepared, and respectfully presented them to the table with both hands.

"This is a small gift prepared by our humble establishment. Although it is insignificant, it represents the goodwill of our Jubao Pavilion. If you do not mind, please accept it. In the future, if you have any requests, our Jubao Pavilion will definitely give priority to your needs."

Yunmo opened the brocade box himself, and the hall was immediately filled with the fragrance of elixirs, which even overpowered the aroma of meat for a moment.

"Two bottles of Meridian Opening Pills and one bottle of Qi Condensation Pills, is this considered a small gift? What a generous gesture!"

Grandma Zhang's lips moved silently, her eyes filled with envy.

Low-level pills are generally no match for talismans of the same level, except for a few irreplaceable functional pills.

The first to be affected are cultivation pills that aid in breathing exercises. The pills produced by Jubaoge are all of superior quality and have a premium of at least 20%.

For example, the Meridian Opening Pill originally cost four spirit dusts per pill, but in these special times, if a rogue cultivator doesn't have a sect affiliation, they need to spend nine spirit dusts.

As for the first-grade Qi Condensation Pill, each one is worth eight spirit dust, and ordinary sect disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining can only take it occasionally.

The pill bottle should contain ten pills: twenty Meridian Opening Pills and ten Qi Condensation Pills. If she wanted to buy them, it would cost her a full sixteen spirit stones.

Is this a small gift?

"It is a small gift but carries great sentiment; I hope you will not find it offensive."

Yunmo was humble. Sixteen spirit stones were not a small amount for her, but she paid for them through the official account.

Using the resources of Jubaoge to improve Lord Ling's favor towards her is a sure-fire way to make money, and of course, Jubaoge will also gain the Lord's goodwill in return.

"These are two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, my humble creations that I find unworthy of my attention. Mo Xue is just beginning her cultivation journey, so they should be able to use them."

"You have a heart."

After Luo Fanchen nodded, indicating that he could accept it, Mo Xue's almond-shaped eyes sparkled.

All hostility vanished from her face as she stared intently at the Qi Gathering Pill before her.

She was suffering from a lack of proper techniques, which slowed down her cultivation.

She had tried the Qi Gathering Pill a few times, and the effect was quite good, which could greatly make up for the deficiencies in her cultivation technique. Unfortunately, the price of the Qi Gathering Pill later skyrocketed, and she was reluctant to ask Master Luo to buy it because she was heartbroken about the spirit stones. She never enjoyed it again.

Cultivation is of paramount importance; we must become stronger as quickly as possible to protect Master Luo and Qiu Yun.

After weighing the options in her mind, Mo Xue decided that in order to protect the two people she cherished, she was willing to be patient and make some concessions.

"Thank you sister."

Mo Xue's hands clenched tightly, but her face was radiant with a sweet smile, as if she were extending goodwill.

"I was fortunate enough to observe the Pavilion Master refining pills and was able to refine some small trinkets. I hope Mo Xue likes them."

Yunmo breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was troubled by his lack of preparation. He had given Moxue a gift, but what about Qiuyun?
If I'm not mistaken, Qiuyun is probably the spirit of Lord Ling's natal magic weapon, and she must not be neglected.

"There are still some Soul Cleansing Crystals left in the pavilion. In a few days, I will send them over along with the cultivation technique as a gift to Qiuyun."

"I have it too."

Qiu Yun was somewhat flattered and embarrassed to continue being hostile towards Yun Mo.

This Fairy Yunmo is wealthy and generous; it would be impolite to target her further.

"Please thank your master for me."

After weighing the options for a moment, Luo Fanchen decided to accept the gift. Firstly, he genuinely needed it, and secondly, refusing it would make him appear weak.

How could a disciple of the Xuanmen sect be swayed by a mere dozen or so spirit stones worth of pills?
It must have been a real struggle for them to put on this act; they're just terrified of being poor.

The banquet continued. Luo Fanchen opened the cauldron, and the aroma of meat inside boiled. The rich fragrance mixed with water vapor entered everyone's nostrils, making their hearts itch. A Niu was already wiping away his saliva, his belly pounding like a drum.

Granny Zhang wanted to scold her, cursing her for being impolite, but she couldn't help swallowing hard, her stomach churning. "From now on, I hope Granny and Fairy Yunmo will take good care of Mo Xue Qiu Yun."

Luo Fanchen first served the meat broth, then took the pre-cooked bear meat and presented Yun Mo with most of the lean meat, who was flattered.

Qiuyun and Moxue had no objections, after all, the fairy had given them too much.

Luo Fanchen took the remaining small portion of lean meat for himself, cut the bear paw in half and gave it to Mo Xue Qiuyun, and mixed the remaining few pieces of meat that were barely visible to the naked eye with the broth and distributed them to the other three.

Grandma Zhang had no objections; instead, she cast a grateful glance at her.

Her body was old and her blood and energy were declining. Monster meat was a rare tonic, and Ling Wudao was already being generous by providing some genuine bear meat.

"Let's do it while it's hot, otherwise the spiritual energy will dissipate."

Luo Fanchen smiled and gently bit into the bear meat. It was chewy and difficult to tear, but it melted in his mouth without needing to be chewed with his tongue.

A surge of rich blood energy, carrying spiritual power, flowed down his esophagus, transforming into a scorching warm current that spread throughout his limbs and bones. Luo Fanchen's face flushed slightly as he comfortably exhaled a breath of turbid air, his newly opened meridians now filled with spiritual power.

Only after Luo Fanchen started eating did the others begin to eat.

Mo Xue took a bite of a bear paw, and her little face immediately relaxed, her almond eyes narrowed, and she looked so happy that she seemed to faint.

She no longer cared about her table manners, her little face almost buried in the plate.

After Luo Fanchen dripped blood onto the bear's paw, Qiu Yun used a puppet to touch the bear's paw with her soul body to absorb its essence. Her soul body twitched slightly in comfort, but fortunately, she did not lose her composure.

Although bear meat is delicious, it still doesn't taste as good as Uncle Luo's.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. However, after drinking a few bowls of soup, Grandma Zhang's aging meridians could no longer withstand the blood and qi, and she quietly stopped drinking. Xiao Cui also felt dizzy after drinking three bowls. The rest of the soup was taken care of by Ah Niu.

"I can't take it anymore."

Yunmo covered her mouth and let out a soft hiccup, her pretty face blushing. Qiuyun and Moxue were also still not satisfied, but their meridians were overflowing and they couldn't hold back even a little bit.

Most of them had about three-quarters of the bear meat left, after all, it was the essence of a top-tier first-order demon beast, and even after processing, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to digest its spiritual power and blood essence in a short time.

Unless one reaches the seventh level of Qi Refining and opens up the Qi Sea, one can store additional spiritual power.

"It would be a waste to waste the rest. I would rather pack it up and refine it into a Blood-Activating Pill. At least 30 or 40% of the spiritual essence can be retained."

Yunmo secretly regretted that she had sent a large amount of bear meat essence with the intention of letting Lord Ling reward his servants. However, the lord rarely went out and had no one to serve him. He only hosted a banquet for a few people, all of whom were low-level cultivators.

That's a bit of a waste.
"Are you full?"

Luo Fanchen had just put down his chopsticks and licked his lips, showing no sign of being full.

"I am truly ashamed to have failed your kind offer."

Yunmo's pretty face was bitter. She didn't want to offend Lord Ling, but she really couldn't swallow a single drop.

"The bear meat is a kind gesture from the Pavilion Master."

Luo Fanchen shook his head slightly and took the rest of Qiu Yunmoxue's bear paw under the pretext of collecting it.

After all, the remaining bear paws are worth several spirit stones, and it would be shameful to waste them.

The bear meat was mixed in the bowl, and Luo Fanchen finished it off in a few minutes. His meridians were full of spiritual energy, and he quickly returned to normal.

"My lord, you are indeed extraordinary."

Yunmo's lips trembled slightly, but a glint of brilliance shone in his eyes; he was utterly astonished.

It should be known that cultivators below the seventh level of Qi Refining risk having their meridians burst and dying if they absorb about 20% of their own spiritual power in a short period of time.

The refined meat that Lord Ling consumed contained roughly all the spiritual power of a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, not even including the thick and untamed blood energy.

No matter how ingenious the Xuanzhang was, it could not allow someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining to open their Qi Sea prematurely.

"Is this an adult's talent, or perhaps a supernatural physique?"

Yunmo murmured silently, his eyes filled with profound awe.

Besides their profound teachings, those who follow the orthodox path of Taoism are themselves outstanding individuals of their time; exceptional talent is merely the threshold.

Most of them are blessed with special physical constitutions, and their birth is accompanied by extraordinary celestial phenomena. They are protected by mysterious and divine powers and are the darlings of heaven.

"Although Lord Ling is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, his combat strength is probably no weaker than that of the late-stage Qi Refining realm. Is this the true essence of the Xuanmen sect?"

Yunmo sighed inwardly, thankful that he had reported it in time, otherwise he would have missed this incredible opportunity.

In battles between late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, aside from magical treasures, the amount of true essence stored by both sides largely matters.

Lord Ling's absorption of spiritual energy is no less than that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and he still has energy to spare. In addition, with the Xuanzhang inheritance and his natal magic weapon, his combat power is immeasurable.

If it really came down to a fight, she would probably be subdued within three moves, right?

She certainly didn't think that the adults valued that little bit of bear meat; in the eyes of the Taoist disciples, it was nothing more than a mere offering.

Is Lord Ling trying to use this opportunity to showcase his strength and personal resources?

"We still need to be careful in our flattery; we can't afford to take advantage of their kindness."

Yunmo pondered but couldn't find an answer, so he could only reflect on his own actions. Luo Fanchen had already put down his chopsticks and, still feeling unsatisfied, got up and invited the two to a private room to continue their conversation.
