Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

Starting from the third day, the disciples who delivered the medicine brought a large bag of herbs each time they came, enough to last about ten days.

"Fellow Daoist, Master said that other medicinal materials can be used as is, but this Spirit-Shrinking Wood is special because it can improve the thickness of spiritual veins. The dosage must be carefully controlled. If too much is used, the spiritual energy will explode in the body due to the thin spiritual veins, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"And Master also said that if you feel fluctuations in spiritual energy, you should immediately guide them into a separate spiritual root. Cultivating five spiritual roots is going against the heavens, and you must be careful at every step. At the beginning, you can only use one of the five spiritual roots."

Xie Weixing, feeling drowsy, replied, "Okay."

Half a month of medicinal baths had no effect. Although Feng Yu's idea was correct, his spiritual veins were depleted and his spiritual root was still unusable.

The food delivery person didn't come today either; I wonder if they're trying to starve him.

Great, things have taken another turn for the better.

Feeling down, I went for a walk. But I guess I misread the almanac today, because as I walked...

"Your Highness," a handsome disciple stood by the Cold Heart Lake and spoke his heart to the person on the central ice throne, "I have admired you for three years. I have worked hard to cultivate for you and entered the outer sect of the Feng Hua Sect. I hope you can give me a chance to serve you. I am willing to dedicate everything I have."

Xie Weixing's eyelids twitched as he listened.

What terrible lines!

The person in the center of Cold Heart Lake had skin as white as snow, and even his eyelashes seemed to be covered in streaks of lightning.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

The spiritual energy of the lightning was even stronger by the lake, and even from such a distance, exposed skin still felt a faint sense of dread.

Xie Weixing: It seems my husband's cultivation level is above what I imagined.

System: ? Whose husband?

Xie Weixing: Guess how he'll reply? Will he keep him at arm's length or readily agree...? A pure disciple is asking for dual cultivation online, isn't that great?

The system remained silent for a long time: ...Do you even have any humanity left?

Tan Suiting raised his eyes.

The disciple lowered his head nervously and shyly.

The next moment, a voice as cold as ice rang out.

"Outer disciples are not allowed to enter the core area of ​​the back mountain. Don't you know the sect rules?"

Unexpectedly, his first words were this, and the disciple's face turned pale: "I...I came to the back mountain to deliver food for the steward."

Tan Suiting blinked slightly.

Oh. I forgot there's a purely decorative object on the back mountain that possesses five spiritual roots but can't be used.

Xie Weixing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "So she went to pick up her crush. No wonder I didn't have any food today."

The dragons' hearing was exceptionally sharp, and they frowned instantly.

"who."

The disciple was also startled and turned around in a panic.

Xie Weixing: Holy crap. Do you have any tricks up your sleeve when it comes to cheating?

System: I told you not to court death.

There was no way to hide anymore, so Xie Weixing slowly moved out.

Tan Suiting's eyelids were thin as she looked at him quietly, her expression seemingly covered with frost: "Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing here?"

Xie Weixing chuckled, blinked innocently, and tried to act cute: "Long time no see, Little Dragon Prince. Of course, it's because I missed you."

Tan Suiting refused to acknowledge his kinship. Seeing Tan Suiting joking and teasing him, he didn't tolerate it at all and raised his hand to slap the electric shocker.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I just came out for a stroll," Xie Weixing said, jumping strategically with a wary look on his face. "My spiritual power hasn't improved at all these past few days, so I can't even take a walk to relieve my frustration?"

After trying for half a month, he finally decided to give himself a break. He was undoubtedly the most melancholy person in the Feng Hua Sect.

Tan Suiting withdrew his spiritual power, remaining expressionless, and gave the order to leave: "Go."

Xie Weixing's gossip instincts were instantly ignited.

He looks quite serious, so he's already thinking of spending some alone time with his innocent young disciple?

He pretended to cry, teasing her: "So you really don't care about me? You can't even be bothered to give me a perfunctory answer. You don't care if I've been doing well lately, or if I've been bullied."

Tan Suiting looked at him quietly, without any shame or embarrassment on her face, and simply spoke slowly.

"I never cared about you," he said. "Your life isn't worth much."

I tried to offer a suggestion that day but got yelled at, like they were calling him... a cheater?

He didn't understand, but His Highness the Crown Prince sensed precisely that these were not good words.

Xie Weixing felt a sharp pain in his knee and almost knelt down.

So satisfying! His insults are so cute.

system:?

I've lost all the energy to go to work.

"Why are you being so fierce?" Xie Weixing clutched her chest. "My chest hurts so much."

Tan Suiting: ......?

Shouldn't it be "My heart aches"? Why does everything I say sound so lewd coming from this person's mouth?

He frowned, lightly flicked his two fingers together, and parted his thin lips slightly: "Shatter the Sky."

A bolt of lightning tore through space, violently binding and restraining Xie Weixing.

This is a move created by His Highness the Crown Prince, which combines two of his own spiritual roots. To have such understanding at such a young age, it is no exaggeration to call him the most talented person of his generation.

Xie Weixing screamed in pain from the electric shock, but was immediately silenced by a cleansing spell.

"Hmm?" he asked, confused.

Why does this prince suddenly start electrocuting people without warning?!

A guy named Yang Yongxin from Feng Hua Sect is here, claiming to be the Thunder and Lightning Dharma King? He's a dual cultivator of S1 Prisoner, Hermit, and Human Butcher, with 20,000 points, probably Sikong Zhen.

"Cold Heart Lake is where I cultivate. No one is allowed to set foot here unless my master, the Great Ancestor, personally comes." Tan Suiting said calmly, looking directly at him. "If you come to bother me again, I will scrape off a layer of your spiritual veins. Perhaps the slow flow of spiritual energy will affect your intelligence. Otherwise, I don't understand why you keep provoking me."

Xie Weixing remained motionless, blinking thoughtfully.

Scrape off a layer of the spiritual vein.

Scrape off a layer.

Scrape off a layer?

Hold?

genius.

These past few days of thoughts were instantly connected and integrated, like the extreme relief of suddenly defecating after three days of constipation.

His hands and feet went numb from the electric shock, and after landing, he turned around and ran towards the wooden house.

I could vaguely hear Tan Suiting's cold voice behind me, probably directed at the disciple who had bravely confessed his true feelings: "What are you still standing here for? If you don't get out of here, I'll chop you to death."

...How fierce they were.

It's so cruel to treat a beautiful young man who bravely confesses his first love.

Xie Weixing ran back to the wooden house, painstakingly boiled a pot of water, and then turned around and searched through the pile of medicinal herbs to find all the Spirit-Shrinking Wood.

System alert: What are you doing? What are you trying to do? What are you going to do with so much Spirit-Shrinking Wood?

It remembered that the disciple had said that the dosage of this substance must be controlled.

Xie Weixing cooked so much at once, could it be... could it be that he's going to use it all together?

System: Are you crazy?!

[Holy crap, what is he trying to do?!]

[So exciting! So exciting!]

[Did anyone else feel that the atmosphere between him and the Crown Prince was a bit lewd when he was harassing the Crown Prince and ended up being tied up?]

[I don't understand. Is he trying to die? I remember that using this thing too much can cause the spiritual veins to become too thin to support the spiritual energy, and then explode inside the body.]

Xie Weixing boiled a tub full of shrinking spirit wood, which looked terrifyingly dark.

He took a deep breath and took out the limited-time item he had bought from the store: Root Spirit Water.
