Lu Chuan and Tang Shouli sat in the back seat of the car.

Xiaoqing sat between the two, and although she was a ghost, which technically didn’t occupy any space, Tang Shouli still courteously made room for her in the middle.

“Immortal Master…” Xiaoqing leaned toward Lu Chuan, not sure why, but she always felt there was a peculiar scent about this man, similar in age to her, with his vast divine skills.

One whiff refreshed her soul, while two made her heart surge with excitement.

Moreover, she had discovered that when she was close enough to Lu Chuan, her ghostly essence would be nourished, preventing any loss of strength.

In fact, it even felt slightly stronger.

So it was instinct for her to want to get closer to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan said, “You don’t have to call me Immortal Master; it feels awkward.

Just call me Lu Chuan.”

Xiaoqing nodded happily, saying, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, you smell so good.

I don’t know why, but I always want to be near you.”

As she spoke, she even leaned towards Lu Chuan and sniffed him lightly.

Lu Chuan felt a bit embarrassed and said, “You don’t have to be so close to smell it.

You’re almost kissing me.”

Xiaoqing immediately blushed, sat up straight and said, “I’m sorry Big Brother Lu Chuan, I don’t know why, I just instinctively leaned in.”

Lu Chuan sighed.

He had already reviewed the memories of his lineage in his mind and knew that Xiaoqing was telling the truth.

The person with True Dragon Destiny would be surrounded by True Dragon Qi, which was very attractive to females and things with yin or soft attributes, as well as having a nourishing effect.

Normal humans couldn’t see or sense the presence of True Dragon Qi.

Even if they were girls, they would just find Lu Chuan easy to get along with and more likely to trust him, without any other reactions, unless there was an interaction of yin and yang, which would be very beneficial to both parties.

And beings like ghosts inherently have a strong sense of intuition and tend to rely on things that can nourish themselves.

That’s why Xiaoqing couldn’t help but lean towards Lu Chuan.

She not only wanted to lean in but even wished to kiss Lu Chuan, because her instincts told her that doing so would provide her with more nourishment.

However, since there were other people in the car, and she had only met Lu Chuan that day, she held back from doing anything too outrageous.

Lu Chuan also saw in the inherited memories that an ancestor of the Lu family once created a dual cultivation technique specifically meant for cultivating with ghostly women.

There were countless female ghosts in this world, most of whom were beautiful.

That ancestor, using this secret technique, became a transcendent being of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in merely three years, making him a unique legend of the time.

Moreover, the female ghosts that had cultivated with him all saw significant improvements in their powers.

The more they cultivated, the stronger they became, creating quite a number of female ghost kings at the time.

However, the only flaw of this secret technique was that it consumed a great deal of vital essence.

That patriarch of the Lu family was constantly in a state of depletion and, though his powers grew stronger, his body grew weaker.

He eventually failed to survive the lightning tribulation and perished, becoming the earliest deceased member in the Lu family records.

Later generations of the Lu family felt that this secret technique had more disadvantages than advantages, hence it was listed as a forbidden technique.

No descendants were allowed to practice it, and even Lu Chuan, who had the inherited memories, could no longer see the content of this secret technique.

Thinking of the ancestor’s emaciated body resembling a skeleton, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but shudder.

Indulging in desire is deadly!

Tang Shouli, watching Xiaoqing get so close to Lu Chuan, was obviously a bit annoyed, clearing his throat he said, “Xiaoqing, you’re a sensible ghost.

Although I know Lu Chuan saved you and you wish to repay him, remember that humans and ghosts have different paths, so you should stop leaning on him all the time.”

Lu Chuan is my future son-in-law, and I certainly don’t want my daughter to have to compete with a female ghost!

Xiaoqing heard this and immediately felt embarrassed, saying, “I…

I don’t know what’s gotten into me, I just find Big Brother Lu Chuan’s scent very pleasant.”

“Then I’d better go back inside the jade stone,” she added.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and slipped into the jade stone on Lu Chuan’s body.

Only then did Tang Shouli breathe a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Lu Chuan and said, “Lu Chuan, even though Xiaoqing is beautiful, she is still a ghost.

You must control yourself.

Ghosts can drain people’s vitality.

Those men who have been drained by female ghosts on TV can lose their lives.

You need to be careful!”

Lu Chuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he responded, “Thank you for the reminder, Family Head Tang.”

The two returned to the Tang Residence.

Tang Shouli immediately had someone send over three hundred-year medicinal herbs.

Lu Chuan looked at the three herbs with excitement.

With them, he could start his breakthrough.

Of course, the prerequisite was to refine these three herbs into Foundation Building Pills.

Inside the room.

Lu Chuan placed the three hundred-year medicinal herbs properly and, after a moment of thought, called out, “Xiaoqing!”

Xiaoqing immediately appeared in the room, smiling sweetly at Lu Chuan and asking, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, what’s the matter?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “I’m going to be refining elixir pills soon, but I’m still missing some auxiliary herbs.

It’s so late now, the herb shops must be closed.

Could you help me get some?

Those auxiliary herbs aren’t expensive; you can just leave the money after taking them.”

After speaking, Lu Chuan found some cash and handed it to Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing was thrilled and said, “Leave it to me!”

Her figure vanished from the room shortly after.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but marvel, “Being a ghost is really nice, free to come and go as one pleases.”

Before long, Xiaoqing returned to the room with the herbs Lu Chuan needed.

Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Did you leave the money for them?”

Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, saying, “I did, I put it under their pillows.

I also gave them a dream, telling them I took the herbs.”

Lu Chuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that the people would be scared to death when they woke up to find the money under their pillows and their herbs gone.

Without much further thought, he immediately began to refine the elixir pills.

“I’m going to start refining the elixir pills now, and I need you to protect me.

Don’t let anyone or any ghost disturb me,” he instructed.

Xiaoqing took on a serious expression and said, “Rest assured, Big Brother Lu Chuan, with me here, none of those wandering spirits will dare to disturb you!”

Although she had been dead for only a few years, the nourishment from the Nine Cycles Yin Fiend Array Formation made her mana incredible, not something the ordinary demonic monster could compare with.

Even after Lu Chuan resolved the fiendish qi within her, reducing her mana somewhat, she was still not to be underestimated.

Wu Daolong, who had reached the True Being Rank, was no match for Xiaoqing, so her protection was more than adequate.

Lu Chuan immediately started the refinement of the Foundation Building Pill.

With his spiritual power, he melted all the herbs into liquid and then extracted the essence, fusing it with the help of the auxiliary herbs.

The alchemical process had lasted a day and a night.

When Tang Shouli came to look for Lu Chuan the next day, Xiaoqing directly sent him away, saying that Lu Chuan was in the midst of concocting elixir pills and wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb him.

Tang Shouli had his doubts and wondered what this human and ghost were really up to; he even sneaked to the window to peer inside.

It wasn’t until he saw Lu Chuan truly engaged in pill concoction that he breathed a sigh of relief, though he remained somewhat skeptical.

It was normal for them to concoct pills during the day, but could they be doing something improper at night?

As he was thinking this, Xiaoqing suddenly appeared silently at the window with a face that scared him out of his wits, almost causing him to faint.

After this scare, Tang Shouli didn’t dare come to disturb them again, choosing to trust Lu Chuan’s character that nothing inappropriate with a ghost would happen.

It wasn’t until twelve o’clock the following night

that Lu Chuan finally stopped his alchemical work.

At that moment, a peanut-sized elixir pill was levitating before him, emitting an imperceptible fluctuation that made it obvious at a glance that the pill was extraordinary.

This elixir pill was precisely the Foundation Building Pill required for breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“I’ve finally succeeded in concocting it.

Fortunately, my talent for pill making is not weak; otherwise, should it have failed, I’d have to trouble myself to find hundred-year medicinal herbs again.”

“With the current condition of Earth, hundred-year medicinal herbs are diminishing one by one; they’re not so easy to find.”

Lu Chuan stood up with a smile and stored the Foundation Building Pill away.

A day and a night of pill concoction had exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, and now he felt exceptionally weary, wanting only to quickly fall asleep.

“Xiaoqing,” Lu Chuan called out.

Xiaoqing, who had been patrolling the courtyard, immediately appeared in the room.

“Big Brother Lu Chuan, are you done?”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “I’m a bit tired now, I need to sleep and recover.

You’ve also been protecting me for so long, you must be tired, too; go back inside the jade to rest.”

With a smile, Xiaoqing responded, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, I’m a ghost, so I don’t get tired.

You go to sleep, I’ll watch over you.”

Lu Chuan had no choice but to lie down on the bed.

Xiaoqing floated over and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at Lu Chuan.

Feeling a bit awkward under her gaze, Lu Chuan said, “Keep me company and chat for a while.”

Xiaoqing then began to share with Lu Chuan the stories from her life.

Through their conversation, Lu Chuan learned that Xiaoqing had been an optimistic and cheerful girl despite her family’s poor circumstances, beautiful and kind-hearted with excellent academic performance, a young person with a bright future.

This deepened his anger towards Sun Shao’an a bit more.

And he found the Sun family even more despicable.

Xiaoqing wasn’t an isolated case; the number destroyed by the hands of the father and son of the Sun family was probably not few.

“Once I break through, I must eliminate the Sun family, this scourge!”

Looking at Xiaoqing, who had become a ghost yet still wore a naive smile, Lu Chuan asked, “Xiaoqing, do you still have any wishes?

I mean ones you didn’t manage to fulfill while alive.”

Thinking for a moment, Xiaoqing suddenly became somewhat shy and said, “Actually…

I always wanted to experience love in my life, even though many pursued me, I never met the one I liked.”

She changed the subject and said, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, I think you’re quite nice, but even though I’ve become a ghost now, with your extensive divine skills, why not let me experience the feeling of love before I reincarnate…”

Having said this, she lowered her head and waited for Lu Chuan’s response.

But there was no reply from Lu Chuan.

Thinking Lu Chuan didn’t like her, she looked up with a disappointed face, intending to apologize to Lu Chuan, but found that Lu Chuan had already fallen deeply asleep, snoring away.

“So he fell asleep…”

Xiaoqing felt slightly less disappointed.

She got up and began to wander around Lu Chuan’s room, hoping to learn more about him through the details in his room.

Before long, her eyes landed on the Bewitching Fragrance pouch and Soul-Control Bell placed on the table.

“What are these?”

She thought the pouch was pretty and began to fiddle with it, opening to sniff, “It smells quite nice, though the scent is a bit strange.”

With a bit of mischief in her heart, she looked at Lu Chuan on the bed, smiled mischievously, and walked over with the pouch, tying it on Lu Chuan.

“It actually looks quite nice.”

Content with the image of Lu Chuan wearing the pouch, Xiaoqing then picked up the Soul-Control Bell and started to play with it.

“And what is this bell used for?”

Curious, she gently shook the bell.

Ding-a-ling…

Lu Chuan, who had been fast asleep in bed, suddenly sat up.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing immediately bowed and apologized, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, I’m sorry, I was just a bit curious.

I didn’t mean to wake you up.”

Lu Chuan didn’t respond.

Xiaoqing felt it was strange and looked up at Lu Chuan, only to notice that he was still deep in sleep, not awake yet.

“What’s going on?” A confused Xiaoqing looked at Lu Chuan and then at the Soul-Control Bell in her hand, she couldn’t resist and shook it again.

This time, there was no reaction from Lu Chuan.

Frowning, Xiaoqing muttered, “Why isn’t there any reaction now?

I thought Big Brother Lu Chuan would stand up.”

The next second, Lu Chuan stood straight up.

Realizing something, Xiaoqing’s eyes widened, and she began to understand the purpose of the bell…
