Chapter 208 The Female Immortal Cultivator Wasteful 14
"Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?" Lin Ruan asked Chu Zhezhi.
"Yes, as my wife ordered, two copies are ready."
Chu Zhezhi's voice trembled a little.
Scared.
What Lin Ruan has to do today is to use the power of the contract to forcibly raise Xue Sheng and Luo Yunzhen's cultivation to the late Golden Core stage.
She was too lazy to wait for them to slowly improve their skills.
For Lin Ruan, it was just a thought. But for the man who was forced to improve his cultivation, the damage to his foundation was secondary. The process of improving his cultivation was no less painful than being tortured to death by slicing.
Lin Ruan gave Chu Zhezhi two portions of earth-grade (heaven-grade) spiritual medicines in the space that could nourish his foundation. No matter how damaged his foundation was, it could be restored.
"You two, get in the tub."
Although they were so scared that they wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but the wife gave the order, and the two had to obey, and sat trembling with fear in the brown turbid liquid.
Lin Ruan took out a porcelain bottle and dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into each of the two bathtubs. The turbid liquid instantly became clear, and spiritual energy overflowed.
"Raise your cultivation to the late Jindan stage."
As soon as Lin Ruan finished speaking, the two of them spat out blood.
A bit unlucky.
Lin Ruan frowned and told Chu Zhezhi, who was standing by, "Wait until they get out of the tub before calling me."
"Yes, my wife."
Chu Zhezhi stood quietly by, his gaze occasionally grazing upon Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen in the tub. They both had their eyes tightly shut, their faces contorted in agony. Beads of sweat streamed down their foreheads, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. The liquid medicine swirled around them, as if bearing the brunt of this powerful force.
As time passed, the color of the medicinal liquid in the tub gradually faded, while Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen's breathing became increasingly disordered. Their meridians were constantly widened and reshaped by the powerful force of the contract. Each impact felt like thousands of needles piercing their bodies simultaneously, the pain was simply unbearable.
After an unknown amount of time, Xuesheng let out a faint groan and nearly fainted. Luo Yunzhen wasn't much better off, his lips bleeding from being bitten, and his hands clutching the edge of the tub so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
They controlled themselves tightly, not allowing themselves to obey the instinct of life and jump out of the bathtub.
Chu Zhezhi felt sorry for them, but he didn't dare to disobey Lin Ruan's orders. He could only pray silently, hoping that the two of them could get through this ordeal.
Finally, the noise in the tub died down. Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen's breathing became steady. Although still weak, they had at least made it through this difficult process.
They slowly opened their eyes, their eyes filled with fatigue and relief at surviving the disaster.
Seeing this, Chu Zhezhi hurried forward and said softly, "My two brothers, now that it's over, please follow me to see my wife. Don't make her wait too long."
Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen nodded slightly, and with the support of Chu Zhezhi, they staggered out of the bathtub.
They were soaked, and the drug effects mixed with sweat and blood flowed down their bodies, gathering into a small pool on the ground.
After changing clothes, Chu Zhezhi helped the two of them walk slowly towards where Lin Ruan was. Along the way, Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen's steps were unsteady, as if they had used up all their strength with every step.
When they arrived in front of Lin Ruan, they tried to stay awake and salute, but they almost fell down due to exhaustion.
He forced himself to kneel straight again.
Lin Ruan looked at the two of them and saw that although they were in a mess, they had successfully improved their cultivation, so his expression relaxed a little.
"How do you feel?" Lin Ruan asked.
Xuesheng replied weakly, "My dear wife... I am fine, thank you very much..."
Luo Yunzhen also forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, my wife. I am fine now."
Lin Ruan nodded and said, "Although your foundation has been repaired, the forced improvement of your cultivation is still superficial. I will give you one month to stabilize your cultivation at the late Jindan stage."
"Yes, my wife." The two of them responded in a low voice.
What else can they say besides this?
I can only work tirelessly and try every possible way to satisfy my wife's requirements.
Not only Chu Zhezhi was afraid of Lin Ruan's actions, but also Shuang Wuchen, who had only reached the middle stage of the Golden Core.
He sat cross-legged on a round jade plate engraved with a spirit gathering array, with talisman paper spread on the ground. He held the talisman book in his hand, and regardless of the discomfort under his body, he practiced the technique desperately, and the talisman pen in his hand kept drawing runes on the paper.
If so... If so...
Will he be the next one to be forced to improve his cultivation?
Faster, faster.
But the more he thought about it, the more unstable his mentality became. The runes he wrote failed one after another. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He leaned against the wall, hugged his legs and sobbed quietly.
He was not even fifteen years old and didn't know why his fate was so heavy.
"Wu Chen? Are you practicing?"
Chu Zhezhi, who had already walked to the door, heard a faint sobbing sound. He pretended not to know, knocked on the door and asked softly.
Shuang Wuchen wiped his tears, stood up and took two deep breaths before he said in a steady voice, "No, Brother Chu, come in."
Chu Zhezhi came to deliver elixirs to Shuang Wuchen.
"This is the Qi Gathering Pill Yunzhen originally made. It's only mid-grade yellow grade, so my wife wouldn't look down on it. I thought you might need it, so I asked him for a bottle."
Shuang Wuchen quickly took it.
"Brother Chu, thank you. Doesn't Brother Luo need it?"
"He also has some yellow-grade Gu Yuan San, which can help stabilize cultivation. Although this Qi-Gathering Pill will cause a slight sting in the meridians after taking it, it can actually speed up cultivation. However, you can only take a maximum of seven pills; after that, they're useless."
Having said this, he sighed and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Wuchen. You will be fifteen soon. By then, with the love of your wife, your cultivation will improve rapidly."
"Brother Chu, I'm worried... maybe before I even sleep with my wife, she'll dislike my low level of cultivation..."
Chu Zhezhi didn't dare to say that this would never happen, as none of them could influence Lin Ruan's thoughts.
"It's okay, there's still time."
This was the only way he could comfort her.
As for Lin Ruan, Lin Ruan took Gu Lianxing to fight against the seventh-level Kuimu Fox in the Forest of Strange Beasts.
Gu Lianxing broke through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as he returned from Tianxuan City, but it was still too difficult for him to fight a seventh-level alien beast, which involved crossing three major realms.
But it was because Lin Ruan's spiritual sense was too powerful that he directly suppressed Kuimulang's strength to the fifth level, which was almost the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Lianxing, come on."
"Yes, my wife."
Gu Lianxing bravely rushed forward, the Zhishui Sword in his hand flashing with cold light as he stabbed at the Kuimu Fox. He also detached the Qingtan bracelet on his wrist, trying to break its defense.
Kuimu Fox roared, and its body moved like lightning, easily avoiding the attack. Then it waved its claws, bringing up a fishy wind, and pounced towards Gu Lianxing.
Gu Lianxing quickly dodged to the side, but was still grazed on the shoulder by Kuimuhu's claws, leaving a bloody mark. He gritted his teeth, channeled his spiritual power, and swung his sword in a few sword flowers, attacking Kuimuhu again.
Lin Ruan stood aside, watching the battle calmly, his spiritual sense always firmly suppressing Kuimu Fox to ensure that it maintained its strength at the fifth level.
The Kuimu Fox seemed enraged by Gu Lianxing's attack, and a ball of pink flames erupted from its mouth. The flames were extremely hot, and wherever they passed, trees were scorched. Gu Lianxing didn't dare to take the attack head-on and quickly leaped back.
"Don't just dodge, find its flaws!" Lin Ruan gave the order when he saw Gu Lianxing preparing to start long-distance scraping.
"Yes, my wife."
When Gu Lianxing heard his wife's words, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Seeing the right moment, when the Kuimu Fox pounced again, Gu Lianxing did not dodge like before, but rushed towards it. When the Kuimu Fox was about to pounce on him, he dodged and cleverly avoided the frontal attack, while the long sword in his hand fiercely stabbed the base of the Kuimu Fox's tail.
Kuimu Fox cried out in pain, and swung his body violently, throwing Gu Lianxing away. Gu Lianxing fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes because he had successfully injured Kuimu Fox.
Lin Ruan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Gu Lianxing's performance.
"continue."
Gu Lianxing struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a determined fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. He rushed towards Kuimu Fox again, this time with a more fierce attack, and every move was filled with the momentum of a desperate struggle.
After the injury it had just suffered, the Kuimu Fox had become more cautious, no longer attacking easily. It circled Gu Lianxing several times, looking for an opportunity. Suddenly, it kicked off with its hind legs, leaped high, and pounced on Gu Lianxing, its claws like blades grabbing at him.
Gu Lianxing was well prepared and took the opportunity to strike with all his strength, and the sword pierced through Kuimu Fox's body.
Kuimu Fox uttered a final wail before collapsing to the ground and dying. Gu Lianxing also collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
"Get up, dig out the beast pill for me first and see if there is peach blossom fire inside."
There is a chance of obtaining the beast fire by hunting a seventh-level Kuimu fox, but it is not 100% certain.
"Yes, I'll go check it out right away." Gu Lianxing struggled to get up, secretly praying to God for mercy.
He took out the beast pill, probed his spiritual sense into it, and found a warm pink seed inside the beast pill.
Gu Lianxing quickly congratulated him: "Congratulations, my wife, you got the Peach Blossom Fire just by hunting a Kuimu Fox."
"Well, did you improve quickly fighting against high-level monsters?"
"Yes, thank you, my wife, for all your hard work for us."
As for the injuries on Gu Lianxing's body?
that's not important.
The key is that no one can let Lin Ruan down.
After Chu Zhezhi left, Shuang Wuchen picked up the talisman pen again and continued to try to draw runes.
After venting his emotions just now, his mentality calmed down a little. Although he was still a little worried that Lin Ruan would force him to improve his cultivation, he understood that the best way now was to work hard to improve himself.
He stared at the talisman paper intently, carefully controlling his spiritual power. As the rune gradually took shape, his heartbeat became faster and faster.
Finally, when the last stroke was made, the rune flickered with a faint light, and a mid-grade Earth-rank attack talisman was successfully drawn. Shuang Wuchen's face showed a long-lost smile. This was the first time he had successfully drawn a mid-grade Earth-rank talisman.
He carefully put the talisman away and decided to continue practicing and drawing talismans, striving to improve his strength as soon as possible so that his wife would pay attention to him.
On the other hand, Xuesheng and Luo Yunzhen began to retreat to consolidate their cultivation, and Chu Zhezhi was also preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Throughout the mansion, everyone is working hard and struggling in their own way for their own destiny and future.
Lin Ruan, who claimed to be exhausted after a whole day, fell asleep peacefully under Gu Lianxing's careful care.
