CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 517: CULTIVATING TOGETHER

"Buzz!"

As soon as Du Yueyao spoke, Lu Zheng believed her. There was no other way; the Light of Fortune couldn’t lie.

"Su Nu!?"

"Damn!?"

Fan Boyu was dumbfounded, and Lu Zheng blurted out a curse.

"What’s going on? Just now?" Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but ask.

Du Yueyao nodded, then shook her head, "Not just now, it should have been since I was possessed by that Saintess Xueyi, but I only just woke up."

...

When Du Yueyao was captured by Zhao Wuji and handed over to Saintess Xueyi to perform the Holy Goddess Descent Technique, Du Yueyao was terrified but not hopeless.

She believed that Lu Zheng and Fan Boyu would definitely come to rescue her, so while waiting, she did her utmost to save herself.

During the time Saintess Xueyi was casting the possession spell, Du Yueyao not only resisted with all her strength but also performed the Divine Prayer Technique from the Su Nu’s Prayer Method, praying to the Su Nu in the void.

In the beginning of this prayer process, there was no response; at most, she received some spiritual power feedback from the void, which helped her resist the possession by Saintess Xueyi.

"The Divine Prayer Technique is only meant to receive spiritual power feedback, right?" Fan Boyu interjected.

Everyone shouted in unison, "Shut up!"

Fan Boyu, "..."

However, with Du Yueyao’s cultivation level, the spiritual power obtained from the Divine Prayer Technique was completely unable to block the invasion of Saintess Xueyi.

As a result, the strength of Du Yueyao’s divine soul became increasingly weaker, although she persisted in subconsciously performing the Divine Prayer Technique, thereby raising the purity of her true spirit.

Ultimately, when Du Yueyao’s divine soul was completely suppressed by Saintess Xueyi, she continued to perform the Divine Prayer Technique unconsciously.

Eventually, when Du Yueyao’s divine soul fell into a dormant state, the Su Nu responded.

"Gasp—"

Everyone drew a breath of cold air, then listened even more intently.

Su Nu entered the dream, asking Du Yueyao why she had called upon her. Du Yueyao then detailed her current situation and the circumstances of the Primordial Saint Sect to Su Nu.

"And then Su Nu told me that someone had already come to rescue me, and the Holy Goddess Descent Technique on me had been lifted," Du Yueyao said.

Afterward, Su Nu sensed Du Yueyao’s cultivation and said that the Su Nu’s Prayer Method she practiced was not perfected, probably due to the limitations of the person who imparted it, resulting in limited insight and flaws at critical nodes of cultivation.

Du Yueyao said, "Su Nu said my aptitude is actually not high, and my Dao practice is too shallow, but my state of mind is alright. Although I can’t understand her profound teachings, she helped me perfect the Su Nu’s Prayer Method, saying that with diligent practice in the future, immortality is within reach."

"Gasp—"

Once again, everyone drew a sharp breath, looking at Du Yueyao with astonishment.

In Su Nu’s eyes, Du Yueyao’s talent being mediocre was all too normal. Presumably, in the eyes of such high-level beings, only unparalleled talent could catch their attention.

But to receive a compliment on her state of mind and a perfected Su Nu’s Prayer Method was definitely praise and a gift.

Indeed, to connect across space to Su Nu using the Divine Prayer Technique requires a purity of mind that is truly remarkable. Clearly, it was for this reason that Su Nu bestowed her gifts upon Du Yueyao.

With a complete and certainly suitable version of the Su Nu’s Prayer Method, she will inevitably have a good outcome if she continues to work hard in the future.

"Yueyao, congratulations!" Liu Qingyan said warmly.

"Sister, thank you!" Du Yueyao said with a shy but delighted expression, having found her own path and finally shaking off her feelings of inferiority.

"Fortune! Fortune indeed! Our Primordial Saint Sect has been in decline for a thousand years, but finally, the cycle has changed for the better!" Fan Boyu muttered, unable to contain himself.

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but teasingly touch the tip of Du Yueyao’s nose, "Looks like you’ll surely be the next Sect Leader of the Primordial Saint Sect, Lady Saintess."

"Sister~"

...

Everyone celebrated for Du Yueyao, and then Lu Zheng personally cooked, and they all shared a sumptuous lunch at the Du Residence.

After the meal, they advised Du Yueyao, still in a recovery period, to rest well before leaving.

"Who would’ve thought this little sister would have such fortune, truly rare."

Liu Qingyan smiled as she embraced Shen Ying, "So we need to work hard too, so this little girl Yueyao doesn’t catch up to us."

"Yes indeed!" Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, then threw a flirtatious glance at Lu Zheng, "It all depends on whether Lu Lang will help us cultivate that Yin Yang Harmony Nourishing Spirit Method."

"Hee hee..."

"Haha..."

Lu Zheng: ⚆_⚆?

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, one has meritorious virtue, purifying her bloodline continuously while also studying Chi Songzi’s teachings, focusing on herself.

The other continually receives incense and candle Qi, cultivating her divine soul, Peach Blossom Origin, and Old Peach Tree Body, becoming a Peach Blossom Fairy, attaining godhood.

Each of their foundations and paths is stronger than Du Yueyao’s. Although Liu Qingyan spends her days diagnosing patients, and Shen Ying seems idle, their cultivation never falters.

Initially, Lu Zheng indeed helped them identify their paths and provided opportunities, but their subsequent cultivation was entirely their own effort.

Now, both have long surpassed their previous peers, Guangyue and Yuan Jing. If Guangyue tries breaking them up now, Liu Qingyan wouldn’t even need Lu Zheng’s help to beat him soundly.

Especially since...

Now that their cultivation levels are high, even if the improvement from the Yin Yang Harmony Nourishing Spirit Method isn’t significant, it still proves highly effective when practiced regularly.

Therefore...

Lu Zheng waved his hand, and the bedroom door closed.

No more events today, focus on cultivation.

...

Though Du Yueyao received the teachings of Su Nu, her divine soul injuries still hadn’t healed, requiring bed rest and recuperation.

Hence, Madam Du stayed home to care for her, and Liu Qingyan visited daily to provide acupuncture for Du Yueyao, also helping Madam Du maintain her health.

The result was that Madam Du didn’t become weary from caring for Du Yueyao; instead, her spirit improved, and her complexion became healthier.

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying would also visit every few days to chat and offer professional insights on Du Yueyao’s cultivation, otherwise engaged in leisurely ways.

...

Crossing over to the modern day.

After staying in the ancient world for several days, Lu Zheng wanted to enjoy some modern entertainment, so he prepared some toppings and cooked a bowl of noodles to eat.

He turned on the computer, clicked on the latest show by Liu the Celestial Immortal that he hadn’t finished watching, and started bantering in a group chat with Tong Muxuan, who had already had a wedding at his hometown and was now on a honeymoon abroad.

Lu Zheng: [So rich, the Aegean Sea]

Tong Muxuan: [Regret it, the scenery is nice, but the infrastructure is pretty basic, not as good as Qiong Province]

Zhao Wei: [Once in a lifetime, after all, it’s exotic, take lots of pictures]

Tong Muxuan: [No need for you to say]

Lei Zhiyun: [(envy.jpg)]

While they were chatting, an episode of the drama on the computer finished playing, and as they started the second episode, they heard the door open.

Lu Zheng turned around to see Lin Wan entering with an angry look on her face.

Lu Zheng: ???

"Hey? Lu Zheng? You’re here?"

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, Lin Wan instantly changed her expression, the anger dissipating, replaced with a big smile.

"What’s going on? Why the anger?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Don’t mention it, got caught in a trap."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What’s the situation?"
