Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 401 - 401 384 Achieving Cooperation_1

401: Chapter 384 Achieving Cooperation_1 401: Chapter 384 Achieving Cooperation_1 Lu Chuan stared dumbfounded at Situ Qinghuan, never having anticipated that the situation would undergo such a swift double reversal.

Initially, it was he who had been pleading with Situ Qinghuan to go to the Profound Sect to resolve the issues, but now it had unexpectedly turned into Situ Qinghuan coming to ask for his help.

This…

was happiness coming a bit too suddenly?

He cleared his throat twice and didn’t agree immediately, but instead asked, “But if we do this, wouldn’t it mean letting down the person you hold dear?”

Situ Qinghuan said, “Indeed, that’s the case.

However, my beloved’s whereabouts are currently unknown, and I don’t know whether his feelings towards me are still the same as before.

Moreover, the matter with my master is even more pressing, so I can’t afford to worry about that right now.”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully and said, “Alright, since that’s the case, I can agree to help you.

However, once we decide on this, there can be no turning back.

Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”

Situ Qinghuan replied with a determined face, “I’ve thought it over.

I will not go back on my word!”

“Good!” Lu Chuan’s face brightened with happiness.

The feeling of narrowly escaping death and the situation turning around was like hitting the jackpot, “Then it’s settled!”

Situ Qinghuan quickly said, “Then let’s hurry to the Profound Sect to save my master!”

Lu Chuan, caught between laughter and tears, said, “I know you’re anxious, but there’s no need to be in such a hurry.

That impostor posing as the Sect Master would love nothing more than for us to rush in right now.

Going now would play right into their hands.”

Situ Qinghuan furrowed her brows and asked, “What do you mean?”

Lu Chuan said, “Although I’ve promised to save your master, if we’re to consider our fighting force in full, we only have me.

I wouldn’t have an issue facing the four Great Elders of your sect, but if the mastermind behind them joins in, the outcome becomes extremely uncertain.”

“This person behind the scenes can control the four Great Elders, so their strength must be at least above that of a Grade 1 Saint.

I’m not afraid, but if during the fight, he joins forces with the four Great Elders and the rest of the Profound Sect to besiege me, I stand no chance of winning.

So we cannot just rashly charge in.”

“Besides, didn’t he give us a week’s time?

After a week, he will set up a platform at the foot of the sect mountain and wait for me.

That’s when the best opportunity to make our move will present itself!”

Situ Qinghuan calmed down, deeming Lu Chuan’s reasoning sensible, and then looked at him, saying, “You mean, you accept the challenge of that impersonator on the platform, and when you two contend fairly, the rest of the Profound Sect won’t intervene, giving you a better chance to eliminate that fake?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Exactly!

The root of all this is the impersonator.

Just kill him, and all problems will be resolved, and your master will naturally be safe.”

Situ Qinghuan nodded pensively.

Despite her urgency, as the Profound Sect Leader, she had the intellect to recognize that Lu Chuan’s plan was the most secure.

She looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Are you confident in defeating that impostor?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Naturally, there’s confidence.

However, to be safe, we should use this week to improve our strength, so that we have a greater chance of success.”

He had already reached the peak of the Golden Core 9th Cycle Phase, and his foundational realm was now stable, granting him the conditions necessary to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Of course, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm was not so simple, and to transform his Golden Core into a Nascent Soul within a week was practically impossible.

But before attempting the Nascent Soul Realm, a cultivator needs to first refine the Golden Core to meet the threshold for Nascent Soul condensation.

This is a minor phase between the Golden Core Perfection Phase and the Nascent Soul Realm, commonly known as Golden Core Perfection.

To achieve Golden Core Perfection, one must condense and fuse the nine cloud patterns on the Birth Sign Golden Core into one, achieving complete perfection of the Birth Sign Golden Core, and thereby succeed.

Lu Chuan’s Birth Sign Golden Core was much larger than that of ordinary cultivators, making the refinement process more difficult.

However, thanks to his True Dragon Destiny and the dragon’s yang power, during his encounter with Mu Nanqing, his Golden Core had already been partially refined.

Now, Lu Chuan was only one step away from reaching the Golden Core Perfection Phase, which would take his strength to the next level.

The condition to take this step was simple, requiring only a three-hundred-year spirit medicine.

Some of the spiritual medicine he had obtained from the Yin Ghost Sect had been used by Lu Chuan for alchemy, while a portion was slyly absorbed by the Tower Spirit.

According to the Tower Spirit, this was the rent for Lu Chuan using the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s storage space, so its absorption was reasonable and perfectly acceptable.

Although Lu Chuan was speechless, considering the many times the Tower Spirit had helped him, he naturally didn’t make a fuss about it.

Thus, he had already used up the spiritual medicine in his hands, and he still needed to find a way to obtain the three-hundred-year spirit medicine needed for his breakthrough.

Situ Qinghuan looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “How do you plan to increase your strength?”

Lu Chuan responded with a smile, “I am already on the brink of a breakthrough.

Now I just need to find a three-hundred-year spirit medicine, and I will be able to break through.”

“Although this is only a county town, it’s close to the deep mountains and old forests.

There are quite a few people here who go into the mountains searching for spiritual medicine.

If we are lucky, we might come across the requisite aged spiritual medicine.”

“We’ll find a place to rest for tonight and start asking around tomorrow to see if anyone has the three-hundred-year spirit medicine.

If we really can’t find it, we’ll try our luck in the mountains.”

“Of course, if we still can’t find it, there actually is another method that could allow me to make a breakthrough.”

Situ Qinghuan asked, “What method?”

Lu Chuan said with a grin, “I have a unique constitution.

Copulating with others can boost my strength.

If you are willing to fulfill your promise ahead of time…”

Situ Qinghuan’s face fell, and she cursed, “Scram!

You pervert.

Don’t even think about it until you have rescued my master!”

Lu Chuan helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, “I am not one to break promises.

Actually, even if you fulfilled the promise first, I would certainly rescue your master.”

Situ Qinghuan sneered and said, “This is non-negotiable.

If you insist on it, then our partnership is over here and now.”

With no alternative, Lu Chuan had to pin his hopes on finding the three-hundred-year spirit medicine, saying, “Fine, I’ll inquire about the whereabouts of the spirit medicine tomorrow.”

Situ Qinghuan, feeling somewhat embarrassed, added, “Also, you’ll have to cover our food and lodging expenses during this period.”

Lu Chuan laughed and said, “To think that the leader of the Profound Sect has fallen to such straits, it’s quite something indeed.”

Situ Qinghuan glared at him but did not speak any further.

The two found a place to stay and made do for the night.

Early the next day, they began inquiring throughout the county town for the whereabouts of the three-hundred-year spirit medicine.

After a whole morning of effort, they actually found an opportunity to get the three-hundred-year spirit medicine.

Moreover, the conditions for obtaining the three-hundred-year spirit medicine happened to perfectly match Lu Chuan’s expertise.
