Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 149 Vibrant True Qi Peach Blossom Killing Qi
Hearing the noise outside the door, Fang Lu immediately prepared to go out.

But when she heard Fang Shu's voice clearly, her expression immediately turned strange.

She slowly walked out, pushed open the door, leaned against the doorframe, looked Fang Shu up and down, rolled her eyes, and muttered to herself:

"Where did you come from, you grateful fox?"

Fang Shu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. Without any formality, he slipped into the room and used his foot to close the door behind him.

He stared intently at Fang Lu, which made Fang Lu subconsciously take a half step back.

Fang Shu bowed deeply: "Replying to Senior Sister, I have not let you down. I have now successfully completed the Qi Refining stage and have already changed the contract with Duobao Hall. Please rest assured, Senior Sister."

Fang Lu received confirmation from him, and a broad smile appeared on her face.

The other party gracefully invited him inside, casually glancing up at him and saying:
"Why are you in such a hurry to change the contract? With your skills, Qi Refining is just a piece of cake. If I didn't have confidence in you, why would I have vouched for you? You underestimate me."

Fang Shu didn't respond to the other person's words, but just smiled.

Fang Lu believed him, which is one thing. But the fact that he voluntarily changed the contract is another.

The siblings exchanged a few words, and Fang Lu inquired about his progress after the breakthrough, expressing concern that he might have some hidden dangers in his physical body or soul.

To Fang Lu's relief, her junior brother was physically strong, full of vitality, and had no hidden injuries.

Finally, Fang Lu added, "Have you gone to the entrance hall yet? If not, your senior sister can lead you there to prevent you from falling into any traps."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu smiled. Without trying to hide it, he took out the plaque hanging from his waist and said:

"I've already been there, please take a look, senior sister."

It's not surprising that even the outer disciples of the Five Stomachs Temple have waist tokens.

So Fang Lu glanced at it first, nodded, and then glanced at it a second and a third time.

When she saw the character "蛊" on the square waistband, and recalled that "蛊堂" was one of the eighteen halls of the Five Internal Organs Temple.

The woman's expression immediately brightened, and she exclaimed, "Good junior brother! You truly deserve to be called a talent in immortal studies; you are indeed capable of entering the Gu Hall."

As she spoke, Fang Lu rose and paced around the study, muttering to herself:
"If you can enter the Gu Hall, you can not only continue to learn your craft there, but also easily purchase a lot of Gu insect materials. Once you have refined the Gu insects, you can also mark them with the Gu Hall's mark when you sell them."

"You have both skills and connections; you're far superior to your senior sister, who's just a cheap, independent worker."

She stared intently at Fang Shu:

"It can be said that as long as you work steadily and accumulate resources slowly, it is a sure thing that you will reach the late stage of Qi Refining within your lifetime, or you may have the opportunity to try Foundation Establishment."

It's even possible to overcome the sixth tribulation within sixty years. At that time, you'll be in the Gu Hall, and you can try to become the Gu Hall Master's disciple. If you can gain his favor, there's even a chance of achieving Foundation Establishment!

For a moment, Fang Lu was even more excited than Fang Shu. According to her, entering the Gu Hall, although not as popular as the Fu Hall or Dan Hall, was still a guaranteed income. She no longer had to worry about whether she could survive in the Five Stomachs Temple, but rather whether she could live well.

Overjoyed, Fang Lu noticed that Fang Shu remained silent and assumed that the expectation she had shown in her words had put some pressure on him.

She exhaled and then smiled as she spoke:

"Senior sister is too excited. Your entry into the Gu Hall is already something to celebrate. As for things like becoming a disciple or establishing a foundation, those are still far off. There's no need to rush, just take it slow."

Even if things end this way, my brother and I can still help each other slowly and steadily within this temple. Two cycles of sixty years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage is entirely possible.”

Inside the hermitage.

Fang Shu pondered for a moment, then finally seized the opportunity and spoke again:

"Reporting to Senior Sister, I have already become a disciple of the Master of the Gu Hall and am now a nominal disciple under the Dragon Maiden Immortal Clan."

"Ok?"

Fang Lu's smile froze, then she shook her head and chuckled, thinking she had misheard or that Fang Shu was teasing her. She waved her hand, trying to tell Fang Shu to stop joking. After all, what kind of background could someone from their Dugu Pavilion have? Didn't she know perfectly well?

But the words caught in her throat. "Speak slowly... Sit down and speak slowly."

immediately.

Fang Shu then frankly recounted his encounters with Bald Hair Duster and Dragon Maiden Immortal.

However, he still concealed the fact that he had only met the old mountain king once and that their relationship was not good at all.

Instead, he earnestly instructed Fang Lu that such important matters should not be leaked, and that the old mountain lord did not want too many people or mundane affairs to bother him.

The implication was that he had already used his favor once, so there was no need to expect anything more from the old mountain spirit. This was to avoid any misunderstanding from his senior sister.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lu's expression became quite interesting.

She gazed at her junior brother with a sigh, hesitant to speak.

Fang Shu even caught a glimpse of respect in Fang Lu's eyes, as if Fang Lu no longer regarded him as just a junior brother.

Seeing this, Fang Shu had no choice but to cough lightly and say, "Senior sister, I'm just a nominal disciple. There's no need to overthink it."

Fang Lu immediately said, "Don't underestimate yourself! Even if it's just a nominal appointment, you're still connected to the Eighteenth Hall Master. You'll understand the benefits later. Especially for pseudo-spiritual roots like yours and mine." Fang Shu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Based on the attitude of the man surnamed Gou in the Gu Hall, he vaguely understood that the identity of the hall master's disciple was probably mostly prepared for those with true spiritual roots.

His ability to become a disciple of the Dragon Maiden Immortal despite having only pseudo-spiritual roots could perhaps be considered "unworthy of his position."

They started talking non-stop.

The siblings shared some details with each other in the hermitage, and Fang Shu also learned more about the ins and outs of surviving in the temple from his senior sister.

Suddenly, Fang Shu asked:
"May I ask, Senior Sister, what kind of spiritual root did you plant back then, and what kind of true energy did you cultivate?"

Fang Lu didn't find his question abrupt; she hesitated for a few moments, a little embarrassed, before truthfully answering:
"The spiritual root is called 'Lustful Deer Root,' a kind of spiritual plant. The true energy it refines is a kind of 'lustful energy,' and now it has been refined into evil energy, called 'Peach Blossom Evil Energy.'"

Fang Shu chewed on the food, not finding anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he felt that Fang Lu's spiritual root and true energy were quite well matched and extremely suitable for the job Fang Lu was doing.

He didn't quite know what was so special about the erotic aura and the evil aura of peach blossoms, so he asked a few more questions.

Fang Lu realized that Fang Shu wasn't mocking her, but was simply curious, as if she wanted to analyze Fang Shu's Qi cultivation experience from her.

After hesitating for a few moments, the woman gave a detailed introduction.

The so-called "color and energy" can also be called the "color is emptiness" or the "vibrant and fragrant energy".

Of course, it can also be called lustful energy or aphrodisiac energy. It can be harvested from the fusion of yin and yang. After cultivation, it is good at absorbing yin to supplement yang or absorbing yang to supplement yin. It is a major category of true energy cultivated by people in the field of sexual cultivation.

The wondrous uses of this true energy, besides its ability to harmonize yin and yang, its aphrodisiac and pleasure-inducing effects, and its exceptional skill in sexual matters, can also be used to induce estrus and mating in livestock.

Fang Lu claimed that back then, she would occasionally take on odd jobs to help her fellow Daoists in the Beast Hall, such as aphrodisiac monsters and improving breeding efficiency.

Now that she has cultivated a peach blossom aura, its power is even more extraordinary. In addition to its amplified effect of intoxicating and confusing emotions, its ability to induce mating and promote aphrodisiacs is no longer limited to livestock, but can also make plants bloom and promote reproduction and sowing.

It can be said that all living beings, regardless of whether they are sexual or asexual, can be stimulated by the evil energy of peach blossoms to reproduce and multiply.

This malevolent energy can be used in combination or in reverse; it can cause different species to hybridize, or prevent them from flowering and bearing fruit, instead strengthening themselves.

As Fang Shu listened to his senior sister Fang Lu, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom and who was shy and timid, speaking in hushed tones, he felt as if his eyes had been opened. At the same time, he also gained some insight into his choice of true energy.

They talked for a long time, and night had long since fallen, and it was already deep.

Coming to my senses, I realized I had gained a great deal.

Fang Shu stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Senior Sister Fang Lu again, and said, "Senior Sister, it's time to retire for the night."

Fang Lu glanced at the sky and nodded, saying, "It's time to retire and cultivate."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw her junior brother, who was still looking at her with bright eyes and a half-smile.

Fang Lu's heart pounded, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

She wasn't faking it. If it were a stranger, she would be calm and composed, even teasing him a bit. But facing her junior brother, she was genuinely a little shy.

The fact that she could openly reveal the details of her spiritual root and true energy already showed that she was generous and unpretentious.

Fang Lu forced a serious expression and said:

"What else do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Fang Shu found it amusing, thinking that his senior sister was just playing with his feelings. After all, she was a seasoned player in this game and couldn't possibly be genuinely innocent.

He immediately replied curtly:
"Go to bed, and repay the kindness."

Fang Lu immediately spat inwardly: "You out-of-touch idiot, what kind of idea is this?"

Fang Shu said casually:
"Naturally, it's to repay my senior sister's kindness in helping me on my path."

"This humble man has no way to repay your kindness, so I offer myself in gratitude, offering my primordial yang to assist my senior sister's cultivation!"

He bowed deeply.

Hearing his confident and carefree words, Fang Lu could no longer pretend to be confused. She raised her head, stared intently at Fang Shu's face, and felt a strange mix of emotions.

In the sex hall, even the menial workers dared to despise her for being "dirty" and refused to hire her. However, her junior brother, who had joined the Gu Hall and even became the master of the Gu Hall, respected her and was willing to give his primordial yang to her.

As if possessed, Fang Lu muttered to himself:

"Don't you...don't you think this is a huge loss?"

Fang Shu raised an eyebrow, increasingly sensing that his senior sister was being mischievous. She was playing hard to get, as if she were playing the game of "drawing innocent girls into prostitution and persuading them to return to secular life." No wonder her business was doing so well, with so many repeat customers.

Fang Shu then grabbed Fang Lu's hand and pulled her close to him.

But gradually, he felt that his senior sister's behavior was not quite right. He felt that she was not pretending and was actually quite innocent.

Fang Shu, bewildered, uttered a question:
"Senior sister, you're so... nervous??"
