Immortality System: Cultivating with Girls
Chapter 54 - 52: It has nothing to do with me, I didn’t do it.

Chapter 54: Chapter 52: It has nothing to do with me, I didn’t do it.

[The eighth nirvana has ended.]

[Your Body Recovery Speed has doubled.]

[All your hidden veins have been opened. Stepping into the Qi Movement Realm will allow energy to flow throughout your body.]

[Your body has transformed, your realm has broken through. Current cultivation: Shedding Mortal Eighth Level.]

[Your life-span +10. Current life-span: 143.]

...

About three hours later, Wen Zhixing woke from his coma.

His body had successfully undergone nirvana once again.

"Just one last time."

Wen Zhixing opened his eyes and carefully sensed his body.

It seemed as if his body was filled with endless essence energy.

In fact, with each nirvana, his body was thoroughly tempered, although each time had a different focus.

After these eight nirvanas, his body had long since entered a superhuman state.

Can my body now kill a Qi Movement Realm cultivator with one punch...?

As the surging power continued to emerge, Wen Zhixing even felt an urge to find someone to test his strength.

He looked ahead once more.

He saw Shen Lingjun with her eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, guarding the pill furnace.

Her heart was filled with immense joy; with Wen Zhixing’s primordial yang, this elixir was bound to be successfully refined.

Wen Zhixing had no intention of calling out to Shen Lingjun and turned his head to look to his side.

The two furnace disciples from before were still lying on the ground in a deep sleep.

Having their primordial yang drained, it wasn’t so easy to recover.

If it weren’t for the decent elixirs provided by Shen Lingjun, these two might have already died.

This True Yang Pill cannot change the fate of these furnace disciples.

Wen Zhixing sighed.

Just to refine one batch of True Yang Pills, the primordial yang of many furnace disciples was drained.

If he hadn’t arrived, who knew when Shen Lingjun would have gathered enough primordial yang.

To these furnace disciples of the Wonderous Palace, it was just another form of torment.

Letting her succeed in refining this True Yang Pill might not be a good thing.

Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred slightly.

Once the True Yang Pill was refined, all the furnace disciples would surely suffer.

Even he might be pulled into pill refining.

After all, a True Yang Pill refined from his primordial yang would surely be incredibly effective!

This is something I hadn’t considered thoroughly...

Wen Zhixing frowned, pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If that’s the case, then this elixir must not be successfully refined.

Otherwise, I need to think of a way to destroy this pill furnace...

First, use the Mind Capturing Skill to control Shen Lingjun, then have the Life Defying Blood Body strike instantly... but the risk is somewhat great...

Wen Zhixing’s expression flickered with uncertainty.

CRACK!

CRACK!

Just then, cracking sounds came from the pill furnace.

"Huh?"

Wen Zhixing was stunned.

Then he was overjoyed. Wait!

Could the pill furnace be about to explode?

The next moment, the cracking sound became more pronounced.

Shen Lingjun was startled awake by the noise.

She also realized something was wrong.

But, it was too late...

BOOM!

Accompanied by a massive roar, the entire pill furnace exploded violently.

Rich Yang Qi instantly scattered in all directions.

Because Shen Lingjun was too close, she was directly blown away.

"Ah!"

Only a scream was heard before it was drowned out by the explosion.

Wen Zhixing and the other two, being further away, were not significantly affected.

"Ahhhh!!!"

After a brief moment of confusion, heart-wrenching screams came from within the smoke.

Shen Lingjun has gone mad!

"My pill furnace!"

"My elixirs!"

"Gone!"

"All gone!"

Wen Zhixing quickly closed his eyes, pretending to still be unconscious.

This has nothing to do with him...

...

One day later, Wen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes.

He had feigned unconsciousness for a whole day.

At this moment, Shen Lingjun was squatting nearby with a vacant look in her eyes. When she saw Wen Zhixing awaken, she weakly looked up at him.

"You’re awake..."

Shen Lingjun was covered in dust, her hair as disheveled as a beggar’s.

The explosion of the pill furnace had left her still unable to fully come to her senses.

Months of effort, all vanished just like that...

She was lost.

Why did the furnace explode?

Is there a problem with the elixir I concocted...?

She had already expended so much primordial yang.

Even if she wanted to try again, her senior martial sisters wouldn’t give her another chance.

"Mm..." Wen Zhixing spoke, seemingly weak, then with a bewildered look, asked, "Senior Sister, what happened?"

"No... thing..." Shen Lingjun forced a smile.

"What happened... Did the furnace explode?" Wen Zhixing blinked and asked.

Shen Lingjun gasped, her breath hitching. Her face instantly paled as if a family member had died.

Wen Zhixing had touched a raw nerve.

She almost suffocated.

"It’s fine, just a furnace explosion... It probably... wasn’t the pill furnace’s fault. It’s just that your skills aren’t refined enough. If you try harder next time, it probably won’t explode," Wen Zhixing said, slowly getting up and consoling her with a sincere gaze.

"You..." This time, Shen Lingjun really felt like she was suffocating.

"Senior Sister..."

"Don’t say anymore... Just go..." Shen Lingjun felt like she couldn’t take it anymore.

She had originally wanted Wen Zhixing to stay and recuperate for a few more days, but now she just wanted to send him away.

The sky had darkened, and the bright moon hung high.

On his way back, Wen Zhixing relished the cool mountain breeze, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease in body and mind.

He also managed to collect three Fortune Fragments along the way.

His luck was pretty good this time.

[Gray Fortune Fragment +2.]

[Blue Fortune Fragment +1. Current Blue Fortune 3/3.]

To actually get a Blue Fortune Fragment... Not bad.

Wen Zhixing rejoiced inwardly.

My luck is good today.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to open them. I’ll check them when I get back.

Wen Zhixing walked along the small path.

He had intended to go straight back to his dwelling, but halfway there, he suddenly remembered the furnace disciple he and Zhang Tiancheng had rescued earlier.

On that day, Zhang Tiancheng had fed that furnace disciple an Earth Element Pill.

I wonder how that disciple is doing now.

A thought crossed Wen Zhixing’s mind, and he decided to drop by and check on the disciple.

Having been subjected to essence absorption so many times himself, he naturally empathized with the furnace disciple’s plight.

They were both pitiable people.

Although it’s said that ’if one does not look out for oneself, Heaven and Earth will strike one down,’ this was a small kindness he wouldn’t withhold.

Wen Zhixing quickened his pace and soon arrived at the thatched houses where the furnace disciples lived.

After many days, two more furnace disciples had been added to these thatched houses.

These two, although weak, had not yet reached the point where their life-force was completely exhausted.

Wen Zhixing merely glanced at the two before turning to leave.

Then, he found the furnace disciple who had been drained previously.

At this moment, this furnace disciple was still in a coma.

Although he no longer seemed enveloped by a lifeless aura as before, he still looked like a dried corpse.

That day, the Earth Element Pill had saved this person’s life, but only just barely.

To recover completely would take at least several months.

"You’re lucky."

Wen Zhixing took out a jade bottle.

Inside were Earth Element Pills, precisely the item he had obtained from the fortune rewards.

He took out one pill, placed it in the disciple’s mouth, and after a moment’s thought, took out another and placed it in the disciple’s palm.

It wasn’t that Wen Zhixing was stingy. It was just that the Earth Element Pill was extremely precious. For others, if it were discovered, it would likely bring misfortune rather than benefit.

After doing all this, Wen Zhixing put away the jade bottle and left.

He didn’t notice that the figure lying on the stone bed was tightly clutching the elixir in his hand. His lips moved slightly, but no sound escaped. His tightly closed eyes struggled to open, as if trying to see clearly who the person before him was.

In the end, under the moonlight, all he saw was a blurred figure flashing past.

Wen Zhixing walked out of the thatched house and quickened his pace towards his own dwelling.

...

Back at his residence, Wen Zhixing was about to wash up when he unexpectedly heard a sound from the stone bench.

"Hm?"

Wen Zhixing was taken aback.

Then he remembered the talisman buried underground.

A beam of light emerged from beneath the ground.

It’s Mu Yunqing...

Wen Zhixing frowned.

After so many days, Mu Yunqing had actually taken the initiative to contact him.

How come he contacted me as soon as I got back... How does he know I’m inside the house...?

Wen Zhixing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be that my recent movements have been constantly monitored by this Mu Yunqing?

Perhaps, someone has been watching me from afar all along.
