Lucian sat cross-legged on the bed where the grey-eyed woman had been sitting earlier, activating the [Celestial Flame Lotus] scripture, and absorbing nature''s Spiritual Energy.

    Without any hindrance, a whirlpool of Spritual Energy formed around his body, as the invisible and colorless Spritual Energy surged into him, giving him a profound feeling.

    At this moment, he had already break through and entered Meridian Awakening stage, and as the Crimson Flame Spritual Energy completed a full circle, clearing a meridian completely, the energy settled in his Dantian, slowly making the outline of a small lotus.

    The lotus was still an illusion of golden light within Lucian''s Dantian.

    The moment this lotus fully formed, Lucian''s Cultivation Technique would enter the first level. But to supply the enough Spiritual Energy needed, he first needed to break through and become a Qi Gathering realm cultivator.

    As he sat in deep meditation, the world around him seemed to fade away. The cold of the cave, the presence of the grey-eyed woman, even the passage of time itself became irrelevant.

    Lucian continued to absorb Spiritual Energy, his skin glowing with a faint golden light. Suddenly, his hand reached into his pocket, pulling out his last Spirit Stones.

    Without hesitation, he began to pop them into his mouth like candies, gulping then down!

    The white-haired woman''s grey eyes widened in shock.

    "Oi oi, what do you think you are doing, eating Spirit Stones like that? Your body will burst!" she exclaimed, her usual composure broken by the unexpected sight.

    But Lucian paid her no heed. His [Gluttonous] Fate activated automatically, and its mysterious power dissolved the stones, they transformed into pure, concentrated Spiritual Energy.

    His [Child of Fire] and [Gluttonous] Innate Fates worked simultaneously, so within half an hour, his meridian completely become full of Crimson Flame Spritual Energy, so as Spiritual Energy rushed through Lucian''s second meridian, he felt a searing heat course through his body.

    Then he said grinning, "Now that the serious talk is over..."

    His hands moved and pulled her into his embrace, pressing her soft curves against his muscular body.

    With her strength, if she wanted, he couldn''t budge her an inch. But Alisa melted into his arms willingly, her cool skin a delightful contrast to his fiery touch.

    "My, aren''t you eager?" she said sultrily, "But I suppose I did promise you could... punish me as you wish, didn''t I?"

    Lucian''s hands roamed her body, feeling the softness of her skin through the thin fabric of her black gown.

    He marveled at how someone so old could maintain such a youthful, sexy body. His fingers traced the curve of her spine, eliciting a shiver from the powerful cultivator.

    "So warm." She said in satisfaction as she felt Lucian''s warmth, her cold body seemed to be melting, "But a pity that we can''t fuck right now!"

    "Eh!? What do you mean we can''t right now?" Lucian questioned as he squeezed her soft tits.

    "If you''re thinking of fucking me right now, I think you should leave that thought for now," she said with a chuckle, "Because the difference between our cultivation, I''ll make cum in a second."

    Lucian raised an eyebrow, bemusement flickering across his face, "What do you mean? Are you saying I can''t satisfy you?"

    Alisa''s laughter chimed like delicate bells in the frozen cave.

    "Oh, dear, it''s not about your ability to please me. It''s about the disparity in our powers. As a Vice-sect Master of the Azure Sword sect, my cultivation is far beyond what you can handle right now. The moment you fuck me, it could lead to... dramatic consequences. The last thing I want is to hurt you."

    "But maybe that could be a way for me to grow," he countered in determination.

    "Impulsive and bold," Alisa replied, "A dangerous combination."

    "Maybe you can give me blowjob? It''s been so long since I''ve a Gilf sucking my cock!"

    "G-gilf? What''s that?" Alisa asked, her grey eyes widening in curiosity.

    "Grandma I''d like to..." But Lucian''s words stopped midways as Alisa gripped his hardening manhood, squeezing it with surprising strength.

    "Choose your next words carefully," she warned, "I still look better than those 20 years old. And I assure you, I have ways of making you regret any... disrespectful comments."

    "I meant... Gorgeous Immortal Lady Friend?"

    But inside, he couldn''t help but scream, ''The more arrogant a woman is, the more I like to subdue them. Just wait for my cultivation to grow.''

    Alisa''s laughter echoed through the cave, causing icicles to tinkle musically.

    "You think flattery will save you?" she teased, "But I must admit, your boldness is... refreshing."

    "Come, let''s go to a different room. The coldness here won''t let you enjoy fully, though I doubt you will last long." She winked as she waved her hand, Lucian felt his body become weightless, lifting off the bed as if gravity had lost its hold on him.
