Chapter 9
In the evening, when Meng Ruyan arrived at the entrance of the Pharmacist Valley’s hall, she immediately went forward and stopped a disciple who had just come out.
“Junior brother, may I ask if there’s a junior brother named Lu Yuan inside?”
The Pharmacist Valley disciple, who had just finished refining pills and looked exhausted, raised his head in surprise when he heard an unfamiliar voice.
With just one look, he was instantly captivated!
What he saw was a beautiful and fair-skinned female cultivator with a veil on her face. Although he couldn’t see the female cultivator’s full appearance, just her amorous eyes were enough to attract people’s hearts.
Not to mention that she had a body that most female cultivators would be envious of.
When the disciple of the Pharmacist Valley saw this female cultivator, he only had two words in his mind: Devastatingly beautiful.
Meng Ruyan looked at the lustful and infatuated disciple of the Pharmacist Valley, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Initially, when Lu Yuan did not come to see her for a month, Meng Ruyan even suspected that she was not charming enough.
But now, it seemed that it wasn’t her who had a problem, but someone else!
The disciple’s behavior wasn’t bizarre. After all, it was really rare to see a female cultivator in the Pharmacist Valley, and one with such a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament at that.
From a certain point of view, the pharmacists of Pharmacist Valley were similar to the programmers in Lu Yuan’s previous life. They were both boring professions with a high technical threshold.
Most female cultivators couldn’t stand such loneliness. As a result, nine and a half out of ten disciples in the Pharmacist Valley were male cultivators.
The reason why “nine and a half” was said was that even if there was a sole female cultivator in the Pharmacist Valley, she would generally be the kind who didn’t care about her appearance and didn’t look like a charming woman at all.
In short, the female cultivators of the Pharmacist Valley were like brothers. They could discuss pill refinement techniques, but nothing else!
After the initial shock, the disciple of the Pharmacist Valley finally came back to his senses.
He quickly steadied himself and said with a slightly red face, “Senior Sister, can you repeat what you just said? I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”
“May I ask if there is a disciple named Lu Yuan in there?”
“Senior Sister, please wait a moment. I’ll go in and help you ask.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you. May I ask how I should address you, junior brother?”
Hearing Meng Ruyan’s voice, which sounded like a kitten purring, the disciple of the Pharmacist Valley trembled.
It was not that the junior brother had never seen a woman before. It was all because the senior sister in front of him was too charming!
“You’re too polite, senior sister. My name is Lu Qiao. Please wait for a moment, I’ll go in and call him for you!”
Lu Qiao hurriedly returned to the hall and shouted, “Who’s Junior Brother Lu Yuan? Someone’s looking for you at the entrance!
The loud and clear voice reverberated in the hall.
However, before Lu Yuan could respond, the sound of pill furnace explosions rang out in the hall.
Boom boom boom…
After a series of pill furnace explosions, a few disheveled disciples of the Pharmacist Valley surrounded Lu Qiao.
What followed was a series of dull sounds of flesh colliding.
“What are you shouting for? Don’t you know that the Pill Hall doesn’t allow any noise?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“F*ck you! F*ck you! If you want to find someone, then find him. Why are you shouting?!”
Only then did Lu Qiao, who was beaten up, realize that he had been so mesmerized by the senior sister that he had forgotten that this was not anywhere else.
Pill refinement was something that required one’s full attention. Any external influence could cause the pill refinement to fail.
His shouts just now had caused a few senior brothers to make mistakes in their pill refinement.
He was not wronged for suffering this beating!
After the senior brothers finished venting their anger, Lu Yuan arrived.
He looked at Lu Qiao’s swollen face and asked, “Senior brother, I’m Lu Yuan. May I ask who is looking for me?”
Before Lu Qiao could reply, Lu Yuan heard a voice that made his heart tremble.
“Junior Brother Lu, you’ve made me look for you.”
It was the demoness Meng Ruyan!!
Lu Yuan turned his head with difficulty and found Meng Ruyan standing at the entrance of the hall.
Damn it, why was this demoness here to look for him?!
Out of fear of Meng Ruyan, Lu Yuan subconsciously wanted to retreat.
However, Meng Ruyan’s fair jade-like hand grabbed his arm before he could escape.
“Junior Brother, where do you want to go?”
Lu Yuan looked at the half-smiling Meng Ruyan, and the unbearable memory from a month ago appeared in his mind.
He pretended to be calm and replied, “Senior Sister, I just remembered that there are still a few pills in the furnace that I haven’t dealt with, so I want to go back and deal with them.”
“Oh, I see. Do you want me to go with you? ”
Go together? If they went together, he would be exposed!
“It’s okay, senior sister. I’ll go by myself.”
As he said this, Lu Yuan tried to break free from Meng Ruyan. However, he was only a mere Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator. How could he compare to Meng Ruyan, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator?
“Senior sister, can you… Let go first?”
Meng Ruyan smiled but did not say anything.
Seeing Meng Ruyan’s half-smile, Lu Yuan panicked.
It seemed that this demoness would not let him off easily today!
Perhaps, she could see Lu Yuan’s resistance, Meng Ruyan lowered her head and whispered in Lu Yuan’s ear, “Junior Brother Lu, if you don’t come back with me this time, don’t blame me for using some underhanded methods. For example… I can hand you over to a certain Senior Brother Chen. Junior Brother, you don’t want to meet senior brother Chen again, do you?”
Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at Meng Ruyan with a dumbfounded expression.
Damn it, to think she dared to threaten him!
Was he, the great Celestial Master Lu, the kind of person who could be easily threatened just because someone had something on him?
Didn’t he have his dignity?
“Senior sister, don’t say that. To be honest, I was planning to go see you today, but I didn’t expect you to come over first. Let’s go out and talk.”
That’s right, he could do without his dignity!
A man knows when to yield. So what’s wrong with temporarily feigning obedience to the demoness?
He was not being cowardly. This was just showing a strategic weakness.
He would first make the demoness let her guard down, then seize the opportunity to develop quietly before finally finding a chance to turn the tables!
For this reason, he would now give in a little.
Was there a problem?
There was none!
Lu Yuan gave up on putting up a fight, throwing the handle after the blade.
“Senior Sister, let’s go back.”
Wasn’t it just another bout of sex? What was the big deal?
Lu Yuan consoled himself in his heart.
Although Lu Yuan appeared to be very humble on the surface now, it was still unable to appease Meng Ruyan’s anger from having to stay alone in her room for a month.
To think he dared to not return for a month. It seemed that she would have to teach this little junior Brother of hers a good lesson today.
He better not think that he could turn his back on her just because he got the Pharmacist Valley’s waist token. Did he think it was that easy to take something that belonged to her?
…
In Meng Ruyan’s residence at Qingyun Sect, just like before, after being “caught” by Meng Ruyan, Lu Yuan was forced to “cultivate” again. Moreover, it was an enhanced version!
This time, Meng Ruyan had even announced after the “cultivation” that from then on, Lu Yuan had to come back once a week.
If he failed to do so, he would have to bear the consequences.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Although Lu Yuan wanted to refuse, he was forced by the demoness Meng Ruyan’s threat and could only nod his head in agreement to this unfair treaty.
The next day, after Meng Ruyan had left, Lu Yuan propped up his aching body and looked at his system interface.
[System Notification: Due to the influence of the luck talent, Demon Heart Jade Bone, and the cultivation technique, Demonic Desire Ice Heart Transcript, the host’s spiritual root aptitude has been temporarily decreased by 30 points.]
[System Notification: Your luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, has been activated. You have seized 75 points of luck from the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Meng Ruyan.]
[Accumulated Disaster: 3]
[Current Luck Value: 195]
…
Lu Yuan had suffered the ravages of the demoness Meng Ruyan twice in a row and thus received 100 luck points from her with tears in his eyes.
His luck value had now reached 170 points.
Although this luck value could not be compared to Meng Ruyan’s, it was still not a small amount.
Through the comparison of luck value, Lu Yuan discovered that it was not constant.
[Name: Meng Ruyan]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage, level 5]
[Luck: 1800/2000]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLogically speaking, Meng Ruyan’s luck should have decreased after he had seized it twice.
But in fact, not only had Meng Ruyan’s luck not decreased, but it had increased instead.
Lu Yuan speculated that perhaps it was because she was using him as her furnace that her cultivation improvement had accelerated, which allowed her to obtain more resources, and her luck value to naturally increase as a result.
In a sense, neither of them was losing out. Both of them were benefiting from each other.
If the situation continued to develop in this manner, Lu Yuan could even consider accepting the demoness.
Unfortunately, the situation would definitely not remain calm forever.
He was afraid that this demoness would tear off her disguise one day and directly suck him dry.
To avoid the arrival of that day, Lu Yuan felt that he had to speed up his plan.
His plan was simple. It was to become a direct disciple of the Pharmacist Valley as soon as possible.
From the looks of it, it was unrealistic for him to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in a short time.
If he couldn’t reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have any excuse or ability to escape from Meng Ruyan.
However, the appearance of Elder Han Yuanshan gave Lu Yuan a new choice.
That was to become the personal disciple of Pharmacist Valley’s Elder Han by refining a Foundation Establishment Stage pill.
Although it was difficult to refine Foundation Establishment Stage pills with merely Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation, it was not impossible.
In addition, Lu Yuan had the system, so he still had a chance.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at his skills interface.
[Qingyun Technique (level 5, Qi Cultivation chapter): 353/500]
[Swordsmanship (level 2): 100/200]
[Item Manipulation (level 4): 59/400]
[Fire Manipulation (level 6):120/600]
[Pill Refinement Technique (level 2): 15/200]
Generally speaking, if one wanted to refine a Foundation Establishment Stage pill, one must have the ability to control the Foundation Establishment Stage flame.
This was because only a Foundation Establishment Stage flame could refine Foundation Establishment Stage medicinal herbs.
However, if one didn’t have a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, there were other methods to refine Foundation Establishment Stage medicinal herbs.
This method was to cultivate the “heavenly flame divine ability”.
The so-called heavenly flames were divine ability flames with special abilities.
In the Qingyun Sect, there were many cultivation methods for the “heavenly flame divine ability”.
Lu Yuan’s target was one of the special divine abilities called the “Green Flame Technique”.
As long as he could master this divine ability, even if he didn’t have a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, he could still refine Foundation Establishment Stafe medicinal herbs and achieve the goal of refining a Foundation Establishment Stage pill.
Thus, Lu Yuan’s current plan was to learn the “Green Flame Technique” and refine a Foundation Establishment Stage pill!
Before he could do that, he had to continue hiding his development to avoid raising the suspicion of demoness Meng Ruyan.
He had to fight for precious time for his development!
He had to develop in secret and not be reckless!
