Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 18: True Intentions (Revised)

After Wen Rongxin and Madam Shen left, Li Guanxuan looked at Miss Qin helplessly and sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you intending to do?"

Miss Qin replied seriously, "I saved your life, so you owe me a favor. That's only fair."

"That's not fair at all!"

Li Guanxuan retorted, "Fellow Daoist, I am just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator who wants to stay out of any conflicts. I hope you can understand."

"I understand."

Miss Qin nodded and sighed softly, "But I have no other choice. Without the identity token of Azure Serenity City, cultivators can only stay in this Spirit City for a year. After a year, they have to leave and can only enter once every three years... Fellow Daoist, you should know that the area around the Ten Thousand Mountains is full of dangers. If Qi Refining cultivators don't seek refuge in Spirit City or its surroundings, they will eventually meet a dead end. So, if I marry you, who possesses the identity token of Azure Serenity City, and become your concubine, I can rightfully reside in Azure Serenity City. Don't worry, I won't bring you any trouble! As I said before, if I cause any trouble for you, you don't need to drive me away, I will disappear before your eyes!"

"Fellow Daoist... I saved your life, I hope you can save mine too."

Although Miss Qin spoke sincerely, Li Guanxuan still didn't fully believe her.

He could tell that Miss Qin was indeed very young, perhaps truly eighteen years old and beautiful.

Moreover, to have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining at such a young age, her talent and aptitude definitely met the recruitment standards of the Immortal Sect. How could she not survive?

Furthermore, what kind-hearted and righteous person would disguise themselves and dress as a man?

There must be something unspeakable behind all this!

Li Guanxuan also had no intention of asking about Miss Qin's true purpose for coming to Azure Serenity City because he didn't want to know at all.

The more he knew, the more afraid and dangerous it would be.

In the cultivation world, there were powerful cultivators. If this was some kind of life-threatening secret, he might be implicated if it was discovered that he had contact with Miss Qin, and then he would be subjected to various soul-searching methods...

After careful consideration, Li Guanxuan took out three talismans and gently pushed them over, sincerely saying, "These are three protective talismans. They should be enough to save my life. Fellow Daoist, please take them... I hope you will spare me and my wife."

"You... You really don't understand anything!" Miss Qin was a little angry.

"There are usually guards patrolling near the residential areas outside the city. Miss Qin, please be cautious."

Li Guanxuan clasped his hands and said, "I have some knowledge of talismans. With the two Golden Blade Talismans in my hand, I should be able to protect my own life."

He had said everything he could. If Miss Qin still insisted on entangling him, he could only... choose to move away and leave Azure Serenity City.

Miss Qin also noticed Li Guanxuan's intention to retreat. If she continued to force him, even if he didn't turn against her, he would leave with resentment.

"Alright, I can tell you one thing, but you need to make a solemn oath to the heavens that you will never reveal this matter, or else you will be struck by thunder and your soul will scatter!"

Miss Qin's expression was serious, and her tone was very solemn as she said, "This matter might help you successfully build your Foundation, even cultivate a Gold Core!"

However, Li Guanxuan's response made Miss Qin incredulous.

"...Sorry, I don't want to hear it."

Miss Qin emphasized again, "That's Foundation Building, Gold Core, and even the possibility of reaching Nascent Soul! Aren't you moved at all?"

"...The pie you're painting looks delicious, Miss Qin."

"I'm not just making empty promises, it's true! True! True!"

Miss Qin was about to go crazy.

She really didn't deceive Li Guanxuan!

All this information she had seen from ancient scriptures left behind by an ancient immortal.

Combined with her years of inquiries and understanding, she finally believed that there really were such magical treasures in this world.

Seeing Li Guanxuan push those three talismans again, Miss Qin took a deep breath and said seriously,

"You've been living near Azure Serenity City for so many years, you should know about the Mountain of Joyful Bliss, right?"

Li Guanxuan was taken aback and nodded.

The next sentence Miss Qin said made Li Guanxuan's nerves tense up.

"Then you should also know that the Mountain of Joyful Bliss once had a sect treasure tree called the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, right?" Miss Qin said.

Li Guanxuan's heart shook.

In this world, there really were people who knew all the secrets of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree?!

Li Guanxuan nodded again, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and concealed the shock in his eyes.

Fortunately, Miss Qin didn't notice and continued,

"It can also be called the Harmonious Immortal Tree. This information is what I learned from ancient scriptures left behind by an ancient immortal. It is rumored that those recognized by it can enhance their innate talent, improve their cultivation, and achieve immortality!

Whether it's a five-element inferior spiritual root or a four-element low-grade spiritual root, as long as it has its assistance, they will all become top-grade heavenly spiritual roots in the future!

With this talent, Foundation Building, Gold Core, Nascent Soul, even Soul Formation, are all within reach!"

Li Guanxuan whispered, "If this Velvet Flower Spirit Tree is so amazing, why are the sect leader and the ancestors of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss only at the Foundation Building stage? They should have already reached Nascent Soul or Soul Formation, right?"

"They don't know how to use this spiritual tree," Miss Qin sneered. "Those two old men who only know how to desperately search for cauldrons, how could they know? Only when a man and a woman are honest with each other, in harmony, and finally resonate with each other, can they truly gain the recognition of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree and obtain its help."

Sure enough, just as I thought, only when a couple is united can the pure energy in the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree emerge. Doing it in broad daylight is pointless and will only cause back pain and waste a lot of high-quality protein... Li Guanxuan thought to himself, feeling somewhat fortunate.

He really had no illusions about cultivation anymore.

If it weren't for activating the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree that night, he might have taken Wen Rongxin and lived in the mortal world, seeking nothing but a long life.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Miss Qin thought he was shocked and smiled, saying,

"So, do you believe what I said now?"

"Why are you willing to tell me such an important secret? Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and tell the sect leader and the ancestors of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss?" Li Guanxuan asked.

Miss Qin chuckled and said lightly, "I've observed you for a while and found that you are quite honest and modest, and a bit timid and afraid of trouble...

So even if I tell you this, you won't tell anyone else because you're afraid it will involve you and cause a lot of trouble."

Li Guanxuan: "???"

Was he being targeted by a crazy woman during this time?

But Li Guanxuan saw through Miss Qin's true intentions: "The conditions for the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree's recognition are honesty, harmony, and resonance... After you obtain it, you must want to cultivate together with me, right?"

Miss Qin stopped pretending: "So what if I do? Don't you want to improve your cultivation and achieve immortality?"

As cultivators, she believed that no one could resist this temptation.

If someone could resist this temptation, then there must be something seriously wrong with them!
