Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Her strength also increased little by little, from a mortal to the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building, and finally to the Nascent Soul Stage.

As her strength recovered, the scars on her body turned back into fair and tender skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Where is this?"

Diao Mu opened her eyes blankly, but the memories that kept pouring in made her alert instantly!

A familiar Taichu Jiuhua lantern appeared, with a hazy halo protecting the body.

The first thing she noticed was Keqing's alert face, but then she thought of something and her eyes became indifferent, and her attention was completely focused on her surroundings.

"Where is this place? Why am I here? Where are the others?"

She asked casually, as if it was natural and she wasn't worried at all that Keqing wouldn't answer her question, as if Keqing was supposed to answer it.

[Master, this guy is so arrogant!

The attitude is like pointing to everything in your palm and picking it up. 】

"You may have forgotten what she did to us."

[Ah! I remember now! It's the symbiotic Gu! ]

"Yes."

A person who is implanted with the symbiotic child Gu will naturally have a liking for the mother Gu, and his or her own abilities will be plundered little by little by the person who possesses the mother Gu.

This was said by Diao Mu herself. After all, she said it openly and without hiding anything.

Jiang Yan from Tianhong City and Kang Ding from Yinyang City, those two talented people were also poisoned by her, which is why her strength has increased by more than ten people. She can still remember her words clearly.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't know that the little coal ball had already swallowed the essence and blood of the young Gu and transformed into a mother Gu with a higher bloodline, which retaliated against the young Gu.

Now the opponent's mother Gu is only in name and has become his own child Gu.

"Hey, speak up, why are you talking to a mute?"

Diao Man walked over with a frown, and looking at Keqing's cold appearance, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"She's pretty."

She reached out and pinched Keqing's chin.

He was about to say something harsh, but when he looked at Keqing's red eyes that seemed to be sparkling with water, the cold and hard words in his heart suddenly turned into a gentle complaint.

"It's a shame for such a pretty face. It would be nice if she could smile more and talk more."

Then he put it down gently.

Keqing: ???

"..."

"Wait, why is she like this? If I'm not mistaken, she wanted to say something harsh."

【Hey hey hey】

"???"

[Hehehe... Master, hehehe, congratulations on winning the beauty. I'm afraid that soon, you will have another beautiful woman who will fall in love with you.]

Keqing pursed her lips. Although it was said before that the symbiotic Gu could make the child Gu naturally have a good impression of the mother Gu, it would gradually make the child Gu fall in love with the person who owns the mother Gu, and become unable to extricate themselves.

But although she knew it, she didn't react at the time. But now Keqing has reacted.

I didn't expect the effect to be so fast...

"Can this affection be lifted?"

[It can’t be helped, Master…]

"This... Even if you are not my real symbiotic Gu, can its full effect be displayed?"

[Master, you are underestimating me. After all, I am a food devourer. Of course, I have inherited the original ability of the symbiotic Gu. So, Master, don’t even think about it... Not only will I have the ability, I will also have the other party’s favor! ]

Such a good thing, but the master still despises it, hum~

It's obvious that you are also attracting a lot of attention.

"When did I attract bees and butterflies?"

[You haven’t yet!? Obviously…]

As soon as he said this, his tone suddenly paused.

Oops, I accidentally said what was in my heart.

Keqing: Staring with sharp eyes...

……

On the other hand, Diao Mu also found that something seemed to be wrong with him. As a cultivator, the higher his realm, the more he would release his true self.

Eliminating the false and retaining the true is also a symbol of the practitioner's gradual perfection.

At this moment, I am no longer like an ordinary person, and I don’t even know my true self.

In the process of cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism, practitioners usually need to explore the essence of themselves and the Tao through continuous practice and enlightenment.

As for what the self is, perhaps no one is clear about it. Whether it is cultivators or the general public, most of the time they are not clear about what the self is.

To simply summarize myself, I can clearly understand myself, what I want and what I want.

In this process of enlightenment, the practitioner's perception of his own true self becomes clearer.

This feeling is hard to describe. Human emotions are like a big dye vat, constantly coloring one's own self, and one is often confused and not knowing where to go.

This is why some cultivators become addicted to pleasure while practicing, because they do not know what they are practicing and they do not have a certain level of control over their true selves.

If Keqing were to summarize it, it would be this.

Know yourself, master yourself, and liberate yourself.

Easy to understand and popular.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Diao Mu also had some cognitive dislocations due to the sudden affection and inexplicable behavioral changes.

Why is he like this? It's because he has a crush on her. No, that's not right. What's so attractive about her? For him, strength is the only thing he pursues.

The true self clashed with the true self, and anyone with a brain would sense that something was wrong.

Just as Keqing was saying something to Little Coal Ball, Diao Mu came running over aggressively. The Taichu Jiuhua Lantern in his hand was dazzling and bright. Suddenly, the light burst out with strong light like the sun, illuminating the world.

At the same time, Keqing also felt a special force enveloping the stars and suppressing her.

"What did you-do to me!"

However, although he said the most brutal words, his actions were gentle.

"Ah, are you okay... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

The fierce expression suddenly turned into a soft one. Diao Mu's heart was beating fast. Her face was red and she looked delicate and beautiful, just like a blooming peach blossom.

She looked at Keqing tenderly and comfortably, her heroic eyes now filled with worry.

At the same time, the fierce glow gradually turned into gentle concern, like a dream.

Keqing:......

This change is too

It’s hard to imagine that this is that Diao Mu.

The symbiotic Gu is indeed terrifying, but it also indirectly shows that Diao Mu is really decisive and ruthless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he uses this method to gain the support of those geniuses.

[Hahahaha... Master, the beauty is caring about you. ]

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb"

A huge empty palm in the space slapped the little coal ball hard, causing it to stagger.

Tsk, the master is angry and embarrassed.

"You! What on earth have you done! What kind of evil spell have you cast on me!"

Diao Mu was worthy of being a Nascent Soul cultivator and he quickly broke free from the influence of the symbiotic Gu.

Keqing was about to respond when she saw her looking at her tenderly again, with an apologetic look on her face:

"I'm sorry, I spoke too loudly just now, I hope you weren't scared..."

What a dramatic face change! Even professionals can’t do it like her.

Keqing opened and closed her mouth but couldn't say a word because every time she tried to speak the other person's expression changed.

One moment she was furious and glaring, the next moment she was whispering softly and coquettishly, one moment her face was full of love and affection, the next moment her face turned black as if she wished to freeze everything.

Not to mention Keqing, even Little Coal Ball was stunned.

[There is something about this girl. Normally, a normal person would have been controlled long ago, but she was able to break free from her true self.]

[But no matter how hard she struggles, she can't change it. As time goes by, the effect of the symbiotic Gu will penetrate into her bones and soul, changing her cognition. When the dust settles, I'm afraid her true self will be completely changed. ]

"Wait!? What did you say? A complete change!?"

Keqing was shocked.

"Is there no way to change it?"

【It can reduce her influence. 】

"Then what are you waiting for..."

In the end, Little Coal Ball obediently reduced the impact on Diao Mu, but it seemed a little too late.

Looking at Diao Mu, who now looked well-behaved, Keqing held her forehead with her hand.

"You should know that your symbiotic Gu has been solved by me. Not only that, it has even backfired on you."

"Yes, Diao Mu knows."

Blinking her eyes, with a hint of love and warmth in them, and nodding obediently at her, Keqing felt even more weird.

"Since you know that... why are you still looking at me?"

stare……

"I don't know why I feel so happy just looking at you. It's like there's a pool of autumn water in my heart, which makes me overwhelmed with joy."

"This is the cause of the symbiotic Gu..."

"I know, but it doesn't matter, I still love you."

She said this with a shy smile.

"This is good too. I was wrong before. I put the symbiotic poison on you. Can you forgive me?"

"Let's not talk about forgiveness or not, you should worry about your ability being taken away by me."

Keqing looked at Diao Mu and said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I have it, I can give it to you..."

[It’s over, this guy is bad…]

"I didn't expect this symbiotic Gu to be so powerful... Little Coal Ball, are you sure this is the effect of the symbiotic Gu?"

Keqing gritted her teeth.

[Should be, probably, maybe... maybe because the symbiotic Gu I transformed into has reverted to its original form, so the effect is greater? ]

Keqing:......

At this moment, Diao Mu's mind was full of Keqing. She was so beautiful, she was so cute, she looked so handsome when she was cold, and her sigh was so pitiful.

Keqing: It’s just outrageous.

Don’t ask Keqing how she could tell, the other person’s emotions were completely revealed on the surface.

Seeing that his master's breath became depressed, Little Coal Ball hurriedly said.

[I, I will do some more research to see if I can suppress the favorability to the lowest level! ]

Not to mention Group 694; 936]135 Keqing, even she seemed a little strange, and this could not be concealed at all.

Didn't Diao Mu give those two the symbiotic Gu? Why is the effect completely different from his own?

"Can you please stand aside? You're disturbing me."
