Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

inside the house.

Among the scattered robes and undergarments, there was a piece of jade-white... Her long, lotus-like legs touched the ground, and the moment they landed, her fair, lotus-like feet trembled slightly, as if they were weak and unable to stand steadily.

Li Ping quickly helped Wei Yiling up, his movements gentle, and he soothed her, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are new to this world, so please don't make any big movements for now."

Wei Yiling's face was still flushed, and when she heard Li Ping's words of comfort, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She was not a rigid person. Before offering herself, in order not to embarrass herself in front of Li Ping and to maintain the demeanor of a Core Formation female cultivator, she specifically looked at many picture books.

It can be said that although she had no practical experience, she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

At first, she pretended to be aloof and gritted her teeth to keep quiet, but she didn't expect that Li Ping's body would be so strong, completely different from the description in the picture book.

Thinking of this, Wei Yiling couldn't help but clench her fists and punch Li Ping's tall, mountain-like chest twice.

Li Ping accepted it calmly, though he felt slightly ashamed.

At first, considering that it was Wei Yiling's first time, he was cautious and showed her some pity.

Seeing that Wei Yiling was clenching her teeth and remained expressionless and silent, his pride as a man made him want to compete. As Wei Yiling remained silent, his actions became more and more violent.

This caused Wei Yiling to be in so much pain that she was covered in sweat and couldn't even stand up.

Li Ping helped the naked Wei Yiling sit down, and then sat cross-legged himself, focusing his inner energy on his dantian.

In his dantian, there were two golden pills, one large and one small, each in a different place. The larger golden pill was about the size of a soybean, while the smaller one was only the size of a grain of rice.

Between the two golden pills, a small ball of milky white light swirled and shifted, and on the surface of this light, the light flickered and dimmed, occasionally flashing with a mysterious rune.

An incredibly pure aura emanated from it, causing Li Ping to feel secretly alarmed.

"This is the True Phoenix Elixir!"

Li Ping took a deep breath and, following the instructions in the materials he had read, carefully used his divine sense to guide the milky-white halo toward the golden pill the size of a soybean.

He had no time to care about the Golden Core cultivated from the Nine Tribulations True Spirit Holy Scripture for the time being.

Let's focus on improving the Golden Core cultivation level of the "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue" first.

Boo!

The milky white gas cloud merged seamlessly with the golden core, and a mysterious aura emanated from it.

Unconsciously, he began to circulate the "Ze Shui Nourishing Life Technique" to refine this pure energy. The vibrant spiritual power filled every part of his meridians, and the icy feeling made him suddenly tense.

In the blink of an eye, the coldness dissipated, replaced by an extremely comfortable warmth, giving him a feeling of ascending to heaven.

Of course, this was just a misconception caused by his rapid advancement in cultivation after refining the True Phoenix Pill Essence; he was not actually about to ascend to immortality.

A moment later, he finally opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.

In just this short time, he saved himself half a year of arduous cultivation. If he could refine all the remaining pure energy, he could indeed save himself sixty years of arduous cultivation.

That's enough for him to cultivate to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Moreover, it wasn't just about cultivation level. He looked at the golden core that had been condensed from the "Ze Shui Nourishing Life Technique." After absorbing the mysterious aura of the True Phoenix Pill Essence, the surface of this golden core now displayed a pattern of two intertwined jade phoenixes. "Longevity Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation," voted the best Xianxia novel by readers of Cola Novels, ranked among the top! It looked exceptionally magnificent.

Li Ping could sense that this mysterious aura was similar to the innate energy he had absorbed from elixirs, and that it could help cultivators break through bottlenecks.

Of course, while the quality of the mysterious aura surpasses that of the innate qi, it cannot compare to the sheer quantity of innate qi that Li Ping absorbs day after day.

Therefore, the effect of this mysterious aura in helping cultivators break through their cultivation stages is not as strong as the innate spiritual energy absorbed by the "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue".

Moreover, this mysterious aura can only be used when he breaks through a major realm. He cannot mobilize it at all when breaking through a minor realm such as from the early stage of Core Formation to the middle stage of Core Formation.

Overall, it is still not as good as "Ze Shui Yang Sheng Jue".

This aligns with what Li Ping read in classical texts, which states that it can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul formation by approximately 20%.

……

After absorbing the True Phoenix Pill Essence, Li Ping opened his eyes.

He saw Wei Yiling already dressed, standing to the side looking at him with a complicated expression.

Li Ping remained expressionless as he put on his robes: "Fellow Daoist Wei, what are your plans next?"

Essentially, he was a very traditional man. Since Wei Yiling had given him her most precious first time, he would naturally take responsibility for it.

On the other hand, having received a modern education, he also respects the opinions of women themselves.

If Wei Yiling simply sees this as a transaction and doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, he won't bother her too much.

In short, it all depends on Wei Yiling's own ideas.

Wei Yiling looked at Li Ping, her emotions complicated. Deep down, she had quite a bit of affection for Li Ping, otherwise she wouldn't have given up her first time like that.

But upon hearing Li Ping's question, her stubbornness resurfaced: "What I plan is none of your business."

Li Ping glanced at her before smiling and saying, "We've already consummated our marriage, so it's only natural that I care about you."

Hearing this, Wei Yiling felt a surge of joy, but outwardly she maintained an arrogant demeanor: "We are both cultivators, and we have both formed our Golden Cores. Should we be bound by the gaze of worldly people? It's just a mere membrane; I don't even care about it. Does Fellow Daoist Li still hold a grudge?"

She said that, but in her heart she was actually hoping: Come and coax me.

But Li Ping couldn't see what she was thinking; he only assumed that what Wei Yiling said was his true thought.

Hearing this, he was somewhat taken aback, not expecting Wei Yiling's ideas to be so avant-garde.

After a long silence, he sighed and sincerely admitted his mistake: "I was too attached to appearances. I shouldn't have been so chauvinistic. Since Fellow Daoist Wei has said so, I won't say anything more."

"I just want you to know that if you need anything, you can come to me. My door is always open for you."

……

I tidied my clothes and hair.

Wei Yiling only realized what was happening after she stepped out of the riverside cave.

Judging from Li Ping's expression, he intended to become her Daoist partner, but her insincere words led Li Ping to misunderstand her intentions, causing the matter to fall through.

A cold wind blew, and Wei Yiling felt a little regretful for her earlier stubbornness.

But given her proud and arrogant personality, now that she has left, she naturally has no intention of going back.

"Hmph! He's plain-looking, I wouldn't have even looked at him, but his body... how can he be so strong?"

Thinking of this, Wei Yiling couldn't help but blush.
