Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Becoming Dao Companions (10th update, asking for first subscription)

In the Cave Mansion, Ye Linglong was angrily recounting past affairs.

Recalling that case of humiliation.

"My condolences."

Lu Xuanji comforted.

"Am I beautiful?"

"You are very beautiful, fellow Daoist."

"Then why did True Monarch Qian Ye reject me?" Ye Linglong asked.

"I don’t know!"

Lu Xuanji replied.

It’s a major flaw to speak deeply of shallow matters.

This disgraceful incident was only known to her father.

It was also the first time she mentioned it to an outsider.

"Let’s not talk about this. Becoming Dao Companions is beneficial for both of us." Ye Linglong said, collecting her thoughts: "Firstly, I still have some family assets, plus the dowry gifted by my father, enough to increase your chance of reaching the Purple Mansion by two layers; secondly, although Gold Ancestor values you, he often closes off or travels outside and cannot watch over you constantly. If you form an alliance with me, it will offer you further protection; lastly, I have some close friends and companions, and I can introduce them to you."

"Our talents are not much different, but your comprehension is better than mine. However, I’m already at the Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment, while you’re only at the Fourth Layer. This is due to a lack of resources, slowing your progress."

No mention of feelings, she directly talked about how much benefit he would gain.

Lu Xuanji asked, "Why have you chosen me?"

Ye Linglong replied, "Over the years, within the Ye Family, the Dan Yang Sect, and other places, I’ve met many prodigies. Those with extraordinary talents don’t fancy me; those with average talent, I don’t fancy. You have Nascent Soul potential, with a one-layer chance to enter the Nascent Soul stage, making you a Nascent Soul seed, exactly suitable for me."

"We are a natural pair. You need me, and I need you."

Lu Xuanji fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "I have three conditions?"

"Please, tell me?"

Ye Linglong asked.

"After becoming my Dao Companion, you can only belong to me, and must not have any connection with other male cultivators. If there is, even though you’re a Golden Core’s daughter, I will surely kill you." Lu Xuanji said, "That’s the first condition."

"Naturally."

Ye Linglong said, "In fact, you’re overestimating me. Although my father is a Golden Core Great Cultivator, he has over a hundred children. While he values me, he doesn’t value me that much; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me to True Monarch Qian Ye as a concubine back then."

"Secondly, after becoming my Dao Companion, I hope your heart is with me, rather than with the Ye Family." Lu Xuanji said.

"Naturally."

Ye Linglong nodded, "A daughter given in marriage is like water spilled out. Naturally, I stand with the Lu Family."

She readily agreed to two conditions. Lu Xuanji was somewhat surprised but still put forth the third condition: "In the future, I won’t have only you as my Dao Companion. Please bear with that."

"If you, my fellow Daoist, are strong enough, having three wives and four concubines is no big deal. Even having three thousand in the harem can be understood, but don’t indulge in beauty and the passions of romance. Cultivation is fundamental, beauty is only a decoration in life." Ye Linglong said, "I have a maid. If you like, I can send her to accompany you."

"I have some close friends. If you like, I can introduce them to be your Dao Companions."

"You are fond of Ye Wanyi; she lacks a strong background and comes from a humble origin. I can introduce her to you and let her become your concubine."

Ye Linglong spoke with a calm and quiet tone, smiling.

The things Lu Xuanji valued were merely trivial matters in her eyes.

Although this Dao Companion had good potential and comprehension, essentially he was still a child, putting too much weight on some mundane things.

But this was good; being sentimental and righteous is better than being heartless and treacherous.

"Ye Wanyi, being a Second Grade Spirit Root, giving her as a concubine seems somewhat excessive." Lu Xuanji said.

"The Ye Family always stresses mutual consent in matters, and even if it’s a marital alliance, we won’t force Ye Family female cultivators." Ye Linglong said, "However, if she rejects the family’s arrangements, the benefits and treatment will decrease significantly. After all, enjoying the Ye Family’s benefits naturally requires contributing to the Ye Family. If one is unwilling to contribute, naturally, the treatment must decrease."

"Ye Wanyi’s talent isn’t good; the probability of entering the Purple Mansion is less than two layers. However, if she becomes your concubine, there might be a chance to increase that probability. But it’s impossible for now. Wait until you become Purple Mansion before discussing other matters."

"I don’t have the heart for that either; let’s leave things to fate."

Lu Xuanji said.

Then the two of them made an oath on the spot, vowing to become Dao Companions, supporting each other, aiding one another, and pursuing the Great Dao together.

This kind of oath made with the Dao Path as the price is also the highest vow among cultivators.

"Xuanji, this is for you."

As she spoke, Ye Linglong took out a Storage Bag and handed it over.

Lu Xuanji received the Storage Bag, opened it, and inside were True Essence Pills, approximately one hundred of them.

The True Essence Pills can assist cultivators in cultivation, speeding up the cultivation process and saving a year’s time for cultivators.

The downside is, there needs to be a three-year interval between each.

Because after consuming the elixir, digesting it takes time, and expelling the Elixir Poison also takes time.

Taking one pill every three years is the optimal time.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs one hundred and twenty years to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, by taking True Essence Pills regularly, it would only take ninety years.

However, the True Essence Pills are extremely expensive. One True Essence Pill is valued at three thousand Spirit Stones.

Thirty True Essence Pills are equivalent to ninety thousand Spirit Stones.

Lu Xuanji had seen True Essence Pills but had never bought them because he couldn’t afford them.

Spending three thousand Spirit Stones to save a year of bitter cultivation is too extravagant.

"This is too much."

Lu Xuanji said speechlessly.

"I’m already at the Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment and might enter seclusion in the coming years to try to break through to the Purple Mansion. You must work hard too, husband; these True Essence Pills are of no use to me anymore, and they are perfect for you." Ye Linglong said, "When you, husband, become a great cultivator of Purple Mansion, we will officially become Dao Companions."

The implication being that if Lu Xuanji fails to become Purple Mansion or perishes halfway, they naturally cannot become Dao Companions.

"Naturally."

Lu Xuanji nodded in agreement.

Saying so, he searched his body, intending to present an engagement token.

But after thinking for a moment, he realized he was as poor as a church mouse.

He had nothing valuable to give as a present.

"My husband, just give me something simple." Ye Linglong said calmly.

"I’ve heard that you have a special physique. What is it called?" Lu Xuanji asked.

"I do have a special physique, but it’s yet to awaken. Back then, my father took me to visit True Monarch Qian Ye, hoping this Monarch would help awaken it. However, after testing, True Monarch Qian Ye said it was an obscure physique, unknown by name, unable to awaken it." Ye Linglong recounted some of her past experiences.

Among the countless cultivators in the world, there are thousands of special physiques.

But only a few dozen are renowned, such as the Innate Dao Embryo, Taiyin Sacred Body, Reincarnation Sacred Body, Nine Yang Sacred Body, Yin Yang Demon Body, etc. These physiques are famous because they have produced top-tier powerhouses. Because of these top-tier powerhouses, these physiques also became world-renowned.

But some physiques have never produced a powerhouse and remained unnoticed.

As for their specific effects, how to awaken them, the cultivation techniques aligned, etc., they remain blank.

These physiques are relatively obscure.

These physiques cannot awaken, and their specific usage is unknown, making them not much different from a Mortal Body.
