Junior sister, I really need to control you

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

Shangguan Ling'er's eye twitched, and she took a deep breath: "Elder Yu! You are an elder, please be mindful of your words!"

Although she still maintained a respectful tone towards the elder, her manner of speaking had become less polite.

"Haha, Shangguan girl, are you getting anxious?" Elder Yu laughed.

Before Shangguan Ling'er could speak, Li Yinsheng shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Yu, let alone Miss Shangguan, I'm also anxious about your suggestion."

"For a dignified True Person to obtain cultivation techniques through such a method that is almost like selling oneself is probably too shameful. It will be difficult for him to hold his head high among his fellow practitioners in the future, won't it?"

Seeing Li Yinsheng shaking his head repeatedly, Elder Yu slapped his thigh and said, "Junior brother, you've got it wrong!"

"It's precisely because he's a titled True Man that he's so expensive!"

Facing Li Yinsheng, who was once again dumbfounded, Elder Yu said the following.

For a moment, Li Yinsheng didn't even know how to respond.

"And Junior Brother Li, haven't you noticed it yourself? You were born with a pretty face... cough, a handsome appearance, and after you cultivated the True Blood Body, your charm has increased even more."

Upon hearing Elder Yu mention the changes in the True Blood Body, Li Yinsheng smoothly steered the conversation back on track.

"After I cultivated the True Blood Body, I did experience some changes, but I haven't figured out exactly what happened..."

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you. I've been reading through some ancient texts these past few days and I've finally figured out where the changes in appearance from the True Blood Body occur," Elder Yu said.

"You should know that the demon race places great importance on bloodline. Among the same demon race, those with higher bloodlines are often extremely attractive to those with lower bloodlines."

"For example, if you put two demons who look exactly alike together, but one has a higher bloodline and the other a lower bloodline, the demons of the same race will think that the one with the higher bloodline is more attractive."

"And your True Blood Body, after completely transforming all the mortal blood in your body into true blood, can actually be regarded as something somewhat similar."

Upon hearing this, Li Yinsheng was taken aback: "So, the changes in my body are a kind of mysterious attraction similar to that brought by bloodline."

“That’s right,” Elder Yu nodded. “Unfortunately, only a few blood refining techniques can achieve this effect, and one must reach an extremely high level of mastery to do so.”

"By the way, it should be that the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is for people to perceive the charm brought by your True Blood Treasure Body, and the more severely they will be affected."

"It can have an effect on people with low cultivation levels, but it won't be as good."

"After all, I'm just using the bloodline of the demon race as an analogy. There are definitely some differences in the details, but you can get the general idea."

Li Yinsheng seemed to be deep in thought, while Shangguan Ling'er, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, the reason why I always blush and feel my heart race when I'm around Yinsheng lately isn't my fault?" she asked subconsciously.

Li Yinsheng looked at her.

Shangguan Ling'er's cheeks flushed instantly, but she immediately glared back: "What kind of lousy cultivation technique are you practicing? It's like the Hehuan Sect's!"

"Haha, the Hehuan Sect's techniques aren't that complicated; they all directly change one's appearance. Many of the so-called beauties in the Hehuan Sect look seven or eight parts alike, probably because they copied each other's styles," Elder Yu laughed loudly.

Li Yinsheng helplessly spread his hands at Shangguan Ling'er: "This is not something I can control, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. At least it will give me some advantages when interacting with others in the future."

"So if you find a female Daoist with extremely high cultivation to be your Daoist partner, you will definitely be able to acquire a lot of treasures," Elder Yu said.

Li Yinsheng's face darkened.

No... this topic is getting stuck, isn't it?

"Junior brother, wouldn't it be a waste not to use all your strengths?" Elder Yu continued to persuade him.

"From my observation, the influence of the True Blood Body on others is manifested in all six senses, probably including sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and thought."

"For example, your eyes are much more pleasing to the eye now than before, and your ears are the same. Now, your voice is much more pleasant to hear than before you cultivated your precious body."

"And then there's the nose and the mind... especially the mind. I'm afraid that just by having you standing in front of them, human cultivators would feel a sense of goodwill towards you."

"Although these effects are not that great, far from reaching the level of bewitching magic, if combined with your face, the effect on female cultivators is probably not much worse than bewitching, and it will not be able to be broken by the spell."

Li Yinsheng couldn't help but rub his temples.

As a senior member of the Dharma lineage, Brother Yu must be quite old. How can he still be so unreliable?

Shangguan Ling'er, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought and asked, "Uncle-Master Yu, will the feel of this change as well?"

"It should happen, since the eyes, ears, nose, and mind all have an effect, so there's no reason why the tongue and body shouldn't be excluded," Elder Yu said.

Shangguan Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then extended a finger and traced a line on the back of Li Yinsheng's hand with the tip of her finger.

An indescribable feeling surged from her fingertips into her heart, and her pretty face flushed red again. She couldn't help but spit at Li Yinsheng, "Your lousy cultivation technique is just like that of the Hehuan Sect!"

Li Yinsheng sat up straight and said, "The innocent are innocent, and this is the righteous path!"

After saying that, he looked at Elder Yu: "Senior Brother Yu, you said there's no need to mention Daoist partner anymore. I really have no intention of finding one right now."

"Don't you want to find a cultivation partner? I can understand if you're worried about it affecting your cultivation..."

Elder Yu stroked his chin, then said something startling: "Junior brother, do you still have your primordial yang? If you lose your primordial yang, will it affect your main cultivation technique?"

Li Yinsheng twitched the corner of his mouth, but still replied, "I have no Daoist partner, so my primordial yang is still intact. As for cultivation techniques, they do not require primordial yang."

The Six Reliefs of Withering and Flourishing have no requirements for primordial yang, and the Five Poisons True Scripture, being a demonic art, naturally has even fewer requirements.

"Then you could find a female cultivator with high cultivation level and abundant wealth, and cultivate with her!"

Elder Yu suggested, "Your primordial yang is still intact, and you are a body cultivator, and most likely you possess a high-grade or top-grade Dharma Aspect, right? This would probably be of great benefit to female cultivators!"

"One of the leaders of the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce is a female cultivator whose cultivation is close to the peak of the Dharma Aspect stage. She is respectfully called 'Fairy Baohua' by her fellow practitioners. It is said that she has the potential to become an immortal."

“I met her once when I was exchanging for the Golden Crow Holy Spring. I can introduce you to her then.”

"Although what she cultivates is probably not the path of dual cultivation, why not give it a try? Besides, the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce certainly has no shortage of good dual cultivation techniques..."

Below, Shangguan Ling'er's fair hands were clenched into fists, and a thin vein appeared on the back of her hands.

……

Li Yinsheng led Shangguan Ling'er and Mu Xiaoyu away from Jinshifeng.

He pretended not to hear Elder Yu's absurd suggestion.

As for what to use to exchange for cultivation techniques from the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce, he planned to place his hopes on Zhelong Valley.

If we can find or seize enough precious natural treasures from Zhelong Valley, this matter will be easily resolved.

I hope my junior sister's nose will turn out well.

or……

He pondered that with his current alchemy skills, he might be able to try using the essence of decay and prosperity as a material to refine an even more effective longevity elixir.

This way, it can store excess life essence, and its value is also higher.

However, his expertise in alchemy lies mainly in the refining process; his understanding of pharmacology and medicinal properties is still quite lacking.

This matter probably needs to be discussed and researched thoroughly with Senior Sister Yue, and a formula for the pill needs to be put together.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister Yue had told him to go a month later, and there's still some time to go.

So he carried Shangguan Ling'er and his junior sister straight to Elder Jin's Jiming Peak.

Elder Jin had previously stated that the congratulatory gift for condensing the Dharma Image needed to be collected in person.

……

Upon seeing Ji Mingfeng, Li Yinsheng instinctively shivered.

At the summit of Jiming Peak lies a vast lotus lake.

Especially since he arrived at night, a crescent moon still hung high over Lotus Lake.

The only saving grace is that it wasn't a full moon, otherwise he would have been even more upset.

Li Yinsheng did not conceal his aura or divine sense, so after flying to the sky above Jiming Peak, a lively red light rose up, transforming into a charming young girl in red.

Elder Jin looked exactly the same as Li Yinsheng had seen before, appearing to be two or three years younger than his junior sister, with even a touch of baby fat on his face.

However, in terms of appearance, she far surpassed her junior sister, possessing a delicate and exquisite beauty.

But Li Yinsheng was certain that this was the effect of some kind of cultivation technique or secret method. This Senior Sister Jin's real age was definitely much older than himself, Miss Shangguan, and his junior sister combined.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Jin," he said, bowing slightly.

"Junior Brother Li has finally arrived. Why are you only coming to see your senior sister now?" Elder Jin walked over in the air and said with a smile, "If you had come any later, the thing your senior sister wanted to give you might have hatched on its own."

"Hatched from its shell?" Li Yinsheng's interest was immediately piqued. "Could it be a living creature?"

"Junior brother, come with me and you'll see."

Elder Jin took Li Yinsheng's hand, but paused for a moment upon contact before calmly leading him down the mountain.

Seeing Elder Jin take Li Yinsheng's hand, Shangguan Ling'er's expression changed slightly.

Although Mu Xiaoyu knew that Elder Jin was much older than he looked, seeing a girl two or three years younger than herself holding her senior brother's hand made her feel uneasy, just like when she saw Wei Nian calling herself "junior sister" to her senior brother during the Dao Examination.

……

Led by Elder Jin, Li Yinsheng entered a waterside pavilion.

Several clear springs meander through the area, and surrounded by these springs are several eggs of different colors, each about a foot in size.

“Junior Brother Li, these are all spirit fish that I, Ji Mingfeng, have carefully cultivated.”

Elder Jin, still holding Li Yinsheng's hand, introduced him with a smile.

"These spirit fish are all fully cultivated spiritual beasts, far surpassing ordinary spirit beasts."

"Just a drop of blood is all it takes to bind you, and you'll immediately hatch and become your destined spirit pet."

Just as Li Yinsheng was about to ask what these so-called "spirit beasts," "spiritually connected beasts," and "natal spirit pets" were, a resounding bell rang in his ears, and golden characters appeared.

[Cultivation Ambition: Natal Spirit Pet! When the Lord of a Grotto-heaven comes into contact with an unhatched spirit beast egg, he/she has the opportunity to obtain a natal spirit pet.]

The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and dangers, but with the assistance of a natal spirit pet, it will be much smoother.

The master of a grotto-heaven should acquire a natal spirit pet and nurture it to its full potential, allowing the spirit pet to nourish itself and become an aid in cultivation!

This training program will last for ten years, after which it will be closed.

Each time the Lord of the Cave Heaven completes a goal, a lower-level reward will be issued at the same time, but each reward can only be claimed once and cannot be claimed repeatedly.

Cultivation Rewards:

Your destined spirit pet is a dust spirit beast, and you will be rewarded with fifty years of cultivation.

Your destined spirit pet is a sentient beast, and you are rewarded with a hundred years of cultivation.
