Chapter – 05
Refining Flawless Qi-Nourishing Pills
Cao Kun, carrying the huge sum of 45 spirit stones, hurried back to his courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard sounds of crying and scolding.
Sensing trouble, Cao Kun rushed straight into Nangong Wan’s room.
There he saw Nangong Wan covering her tender face, sobbing softly,
while Liu Rumeng glared at her angrily: “You slut! Junior Cao is not someone you can seduce.”
“IâI didn’t,” Nangong Wan defended herself in a low voice.
Seeing this, Cao Kun shouted:
“Enough! Liu Rumeng, what do you think you’re doing?”
Cao Kun wished he could teach Liu Rumeng a lesson right then and there,
but her Submission Value hadn’t reached 90 yetâhe simply couldn’t control her.
He then pulled Nangong Wan’s delicate body into his arms and comforted her.
Compared to Liu Rumeng, Cao Kun cared more about Nangong Wan.
“Junior, youâ!” Seeing this scene, Liu Rumeng gnashed her teeth in jealousy.
She really wanted to forcibly take Cao Kun away, but she feared angering him and losing the chance to cultivate with him.
With the *Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon* that Cao Kun practiced, even Golden Core grandmasters and Nascent Soul ancestors would fight to cultivate with him.
If this secret were exposed, how could such a good thing ever fall to Liu Rumeng?
Cao Kun saw Liu Rumeng’s hesitation and became even more brazen:
“Liu Rumeng, you’ve gone too far!”
[Liu Rumeng Submission Value +5] The system notification rang out.
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng’s aura weakened a little, and she said coquettishly:
“Little Junior, isn’t it just because I care about you in my heart?”
Cao Kun sneered inwardly. *Care about me? You care about your cultivation level!*
*It seems I’ll need to train her properly in the future!*
Seeing her back down, Cao Kun didn’t press further and said:
“Sister, Wan’er is my woman, and you are my woman too.
You should support each other, not scheme against one another.”
Liu Rumeng hesitated for a moment. She truly wanted to monopolize Cao Kun, but that simply wasn’t realistic.
For the sake of Foundation Building, she had no choice but to comply with Cao Kun’s wishes.
So she put on a seductive smile:
“Little Junior, I’ll listen to you.
Sister was wrong. Take these few Qi-nourishing Pills as an apology.”
Cao Kun was very satisfied with Liu Rumeng’s attitude. At this moment, he absolutely loved the system.
As long as the other party wanted to become stronger, the advantage was his.
He took the pills and handed them to Nangong Wan in his arms: “Wan’er, take these.
Go refine the pill I gave you.”
Nangong Wan, now comforted, looked at Cao Kun with tearful eyes:
“Husband, Wan’er will go now.”
Then she stood up and walked out.
Liu Rumeng watched Nangong Wan with jealous eyes, unable to understand why Cao Kun treated her so well.
She then twisted her voluptuous, alluring body and sat down in Cao Kun’s lap, acting coy:
“Little Junior, I was really wrong. I accept punishment.”
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
Liu Rumeng, her face full of delight, rubbed her perky bottom as she walked out the door.
She even turned back to throw a flirtatious glance at Cao Kun.
[Liu Rumeng Submission Value +10]
Cao Kun was overjoyed.
*Finally, Submission Value has reached 40 points. I wonder what reward I’ll get when it hits 80.*
After resting a while, Cao Kun got up and headed to the cultivation chamber.
He planned to refine a batch of Qi-nourishing Pills, as the Yin-Yang energies in the cauldron had just been fully replenished.
Meanwhile, Liu Rumeng walked along the streets of Qinshan Town, drawing wolfish stares from the men around her.
But no one dared to approach her, because the identity token of an outer disciple of the Hehuan Sect hung at her slender waist.
That meant she had cultivation at the mid-stage of Qi Refining or above.
They were merely early-stage Qi Refining cultivatorsâjust feasting their eyes was enough.
“Why did that fairy come out of Cao Kun’s courtyard?” some whispered among the crowd.
“Isn’t that obvious? Can’t you tell?” a man said with anguish.
He really didn’t want to admit that the fairy before them had been defiled, but the facts were right there.
Liu Rumeng’s still-flushed face and her radiant, tempting appearance couldn’t lie.
“I really envy that pretty boy Cao Kun,” a scar-faced man said sourly.
Liu Rumeng ignored these people. Her mind was now full of thoughts on how to possess Cao Kun.
Unknowingly, she had begun to center her thoughts around Cao Kun, though she hadn’t realized this change herself.
“Senior Sister Liu!” A voice from behind interrupted her.
Sima Shenhe looked at the enchanting, seductive figure ahead and shouted excitedly.
Liu Rumeng turned around to look at the newcomer. He seemed somewhat familiar,
but she couldn’t quite place himâafter all, there were simply too many people who coveted her.
So she asked softly: “Junior, who are you…?”
Before she could finish, the man before her answered excitedly:
“Senior Sister Liu, I’m Sima Shenhe!
I’ve successfully broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!”
At this, Sima Shenhe’s face showed a trace of anticipation, and he quickly added:
“Sister, with my strength, can I become your male cauldron?”
His words could hardly contain his inner excitement.
At this moment, Sima Shenhe’s gaze was fixed intently on Liu Rumeng.
He noticed that compared to before, Liu Rumeng now looked even more enchanting and alluring.
The seductive charm between her brows made Sima Shenhe restless.
Hearing Sima Shenhe’s blunt words, Liu Rumeng couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Her smile was dazzling, carrying a hint of coquettishness:
“Junior, is that really true?”
Faced with such a tempting question from Liu Rumeng, Sima Shenhe nodded without hesitation,
secretly delighted, never expecting a turn of events.
Liu Rumeng kept smiling. After a moment, she parted her lips and continued:
“Since Junior is so sincere, Sister will give you a chance.
But⌠before that, you need to do one thing for Sister first~”
Upon hearing this, Sima Shenhe immediately pounded his chest and vowed:
“Sister, rest assured! Not just one thingâeven a hundred or a thousand, I’d go through fire and water!”
At this moment, his mind was already filled with all sorts of intimate scenes with Liu Rumeng.
Liu Rumeng smiled again, then reached out her jade hand and lightly tapped Sima Shenhe’s chest.
The gentle touch and the alluring sensation made Sima Shenhe shiver, his bones nearly melting.
Then, she spoke in that soul-stealing voice:
“Junior, Sister wants you to start paying attention to Cao Kun’s movements every day from now on.
You must report every single move he makes to me in detail, understand?”
“Don’t worry, Sisterâit’s too easy.” Sima Shenhe didn’t hesitate at all.
Liu Rumeng nodded with satisfaction, took a transmission talisman from her bosom, and handed it to him:
“If you find anything, send me a message.”
Sima Shenhe took the transmission talisman directly. The lingering fragrance on it made him look intoxicated; he even forgot to reply.
Watching Sima Shenhe’s foolish expression, Liu Rumeng found it amusing and felt contempt in her heart:
*With that kind of stupidity, he dares to dream of cultivating with me? Compared to Junior Cao, he’s far inferior.*
Thinking of Cao Kun, Liu Rumeng’s heart fluttered. She swayed her perky hips and walked toward the outer sect of the Hehuan Sect.
At this time, Cao Kun’s pill refinement had reached its final step.
Cao Kun sat cross-legged in the cultivation chamber, sweat soaking his clothes.
He channeled spiritual energy while staring excitedly at the alchemy furnace.
With a loud shout: “Condense!”
Before long, ten Qi-nourishing Pills exuding a rich medicinal fragrance flew out of the furnace.
Without hesitation, Cao Kun placed all ten pills into the Yin-Yang Cauldron.
After half an hour of continuous infusion and refinement by the Yin-Yang energies,
ten perfectly flawless Qi-nourishing Pills were now in Cao Kun’s hands.
“Hahaha, awesome!” Cao Kun laughed heartily. Adding the three leftover from before,
he was now worth a fortune.
Dusting himself off, Cao Kun stood up and went to check on Nangong Wan.
By then, Nangong Wan had successfully refined the flawless Qi-nourishing Pill.
Due to her poor spirit root and lack of cultivation resources, she had been stuck at Qi Refining Level 1 for years.
Feeling the aura of Qi Refining Level 2 in her dantian, she was overjoyed.
Just as she pushed open the cultivation chamber door, she saw Cao Kun staring at her with a wicked grin.
Forgetting all modesty, she threw herself into Cao Kun’s embrace.
She tilted her pretty face up and gazed at him with tender affection, murmuring softly:
“Husband, thank you.”
Cao Kun caressed her cheek, which had been reddened by Liu Rumeng’s slap, and said with pity:
“Wan’er, don’t worry. The humiliation you suffered today, I will avenge for you in the future.”
As these words fell, the system’s notification rang in Cao Kun’s mind:
[Nangong Wan Submission Value +5]
At this moment, Nangong Wan was already moved with emotion. She twisted her voluptuous body and looked at Cao Kun with seductive, hazy eyes.
How could Cao Kun resist? He slapped her perky bottom and carried her straight into the room.
