Burial Furnace

And her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her features were so exquisite that they seemed to be God's most prized masterpiece. Every curve and every line was just right; adding an inch would make her too long, and subtracting an inch would make her too short.

Her large, watery eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words, captivating the heart with their gentle, flowing gaze.

A half-smile played at the corners of her lips, carrying a hint of allure, a touch of seductive charm, and an ambiguous, enigmatic quality.

With her arrival, a rich fragrance filled the air.

Not too strong, not too weak, just right, like countless flowers blooming simultaneously in the night, fragrant and refreshing.

Zhang Yuan only took one breath, but he felt as if his blood was boiling, his heart was racing, his mouth was dry, and a strange desire and lust surged in his heart.

"This woman... her allure is incredible!" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, secretly alarmed. "Just her fragrance alone has such an effect; if she were to deliberately use her seductive arts, what would become of her?"

In the Guangyuan Continent, who else but the enchantresses of the Hehuan Sect could possess such astonishing charm?

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed.

The arrival of female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect means—more business is coming our way.

He quickly stood up from the recliner, a warm yet polite smile on his face: "Hello, fairy, is there a corpse that needs to be dealt with?"

The woman in red did not answer immediately, but instead looked Zhang Yuan up and down, her peach blossom eyes full of curiosity.

A moment later, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells, echoing in the night.

"Hehehe... Old man, you're quite handsome and energetic, you don't look old at all."

Having gained more than ten years of lifespan and broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, Zhang Yuan was indeed much younger and had regained some of his youthful vigor.

He was a famous handsome man in his youth!

"You flatter me, fairy. I'm just an old man, how could I possibly deserve the title of 'handsome'?" Zhang Yuan waved his hand with a smile, and then invited her into the shop.

She closed the shop door herself.

Then, he casually lowered the latch.

"Our shop is simple, with only a cup of coarse tea. Please don't find it offensive, fairy."

Zhang Yuan gestured for the female cultivator to sit down at the octagonal table and poured her a cup of coarse tea.

The female cultivator in red took the teacup, but instead of drinking it, she held it under her nose and sniffed it gently. Then she put the cup down and looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile.

"Handsome old man, my name is Hua Jinhuan. I was introduced by Junior Sister Liu Mei. She said your place is cheap and clean for disposing of corpses, and she insisted I come here. You'd better give me a discount, okay?"

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, with a hint of coquetry that made one's bones melt.

Zhang Yuan was secretly delighted.

Last time, Liu Mei got a huge advantage, but she really kept her word and introduced him to business.

If we can serve Hua Jinhuan well and let her take advantage of us, then wouldn't the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect come to us one after another?

At that time, he won't have to do anything. He can just lie there and collect spirit stones, lifespan, and talent, and break through all the way to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even higher!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan became even more enthusiastic.

"Of course, of course. Since you were introduced by Fairy Liu Mei, you are naturally a distinguished guest. Flower Fairy, please rest assured, I will definitely give you the most favorable price."

"That's good." Hua Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction. "I have two corpses to dispose of, both at the Qi Refining stage. How much would you like to charge?"

As she spoke, she stood up and gracefully walked to Zhang Yuan.

The rich aroma wafted over again, even stronger than before, as if countless invisible little hands were tugging at Zhang Yuan's heartstrings.

Zhang Yuan's heart involuntarily quickened, but he quickly regained his composure and pretended to be thinking about the price.

"Qi Refining stage my foot." He muttered to himself, "Those two corpses are most likely Foundation Establishment stage. These women from the Joyful Union Sect are all trying to take advantage of me."

But he didn't point it out.

It's not too late to settle accounts after the fire is burned.

"Well..." Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Hua Jinhuan with a sincere expression, "Since you were introduced by Liu Mei, and you, Fairy Flower, are so beautiful and sexy, how about I give you a friend's price—half price?"

Hua Jinhuan's eyes lit up immediately, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

"Handsome old man, you're so kind! It's settled then!"

So Zhang Yuan led her to the backyard.

"Just throw the body into the furnace."

Hua Jinhuan nodded, took out two bulging body bags from his storage bag, and threw the corpses into the furnace one after the other.

"boom--"

Dark golden flames instantly ignited, engulfing the body bag.

After about seven or eight breaths, the flames gradually died down, and the first corpse turned to ashes.

After another seven or eight breaths, the second corpse also turned to ashes.

Two rich streams of primordial energy surged out of the Immortal Transformation Furnace one after the other, flowing into Zhang Yuan's body like two warm streams.

His lifespan began to increase rapidly.

Seven months.

Add another seven months.

Fourteen months in total!

"Holy crap!" Zhang Yuan gasped inwardly. "They really are two Foundation Establishment stage corpses! At least mid-Foundation Establishment, maybe even late-Foundation Establishment!"

He couldn't help but take a second look at the alluring and charming female cultivator in red before him.

To be able to kill two Foundation Establishment cultivators and escape unscathed, this woman's strength must be at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and she may even have touched the threshold of the Golden Core stage!

This woman is a ruthless character!

Hua Jinhuan had no idea what Zhang Yuan was thinking. She patted non-existent dust off her hands, turned around, took out two low-grade spirit stones from her storage bag, and stuffed them into Zhang Yuan's hand.

Her hands were very beautiful, with long, straight fingers and fair, smooth, delicate skin, like the finest white jade.

The moment Zhang Yuan was touched by her, he felt a soft touch, and his heart skipped a beat. A strange longing welled up inside him.

He gripped the two spirit stones tightly and said, "Flower Fairy, the cremation just now consumed far more spirit stones than I expected. Judging from the amount of spirit stones consumed, these two corpses were at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Hua Jinhuan's smile froze slightly.

"So?" she blinked her captivating eyes, feigning innocence as she asked.

"At normal prices, I should charge four mid-grade spirit stones for two late-stage Foundation Establishment corpses. I'm giving you half price, so you should pay me two mid-grade spirit stones."

"Why do you treat Liu Mei so well, but not me?" Hua Jinhuan's face darkened, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and coquettishness, as well as a subtle chill.
