I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 261 Xiao Wu's Nourishing Life
After Xiao Wuji completed the memory modification of Xiao Wu, he immediately proceeded to modify Ning Rongrong's memories as well.

In Ning Rongrong's memory, she is not the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the daughter of a servant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with a martial soul of weeds and zero innate soul power.

In the end, it was Xiao Wuji who intervened, allowing her to take over Ning Rongrong's body, devour her soul and realm, and become the apple of the eye of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, also possessing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a top-tier martial soul.

She had genuine respect for Xiao Wuji, but also genuine fear. She was afraid that one day she would become useless to Xiao Wuji and anger him, and he would strip her of everything and reduce her to her original state.

Xiao Wuji's alteration of Ning Rongrong's memories was the most significant and distorted, because he knew clearly that Ning Rongrong would only have a maximum of seven spirit rings in her lifetime, and her cultivation speed could not keep up with his, so there was almost no possibility of her regaining her memories.

For this reason, Xiao Wuji was completely at ease with Ning Rongrong's existence, and even taught her several martial arts techniques that he had deduced himself. Although they were not very strong, they were definitely stronger than the martial arts in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu!

After using his first soul skill to investigate and confirming that Tang Hao was not there to watch over things, Xiao Wuji continued to lie on the bed and wait for the beauty to come to him.

In no time, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had finished dressing, jumped out of the second-floor window of the villa, and then climbed over the wall, heading towards Xiao Wuji's residence.

In the courtyard, Ning Rongrong stopped and began to take off her clothes. Seeing this, Xiao Wu remembered something and quickly followed suit.

The two quickly took off their outer clothes and then crawled on all fours toward the bedroom.

dong dong! !
A knock sounded on the door, and Xiao Wuji smiled slightly. The package had arrived; should he answer it or not?

"come in!"

As soon as Xiao Wuji finished speaking, the doorknob began to turn, and the door opened a crack, but the person outside did not come in directly.

After a few breaths, the door opened, and a dark head popped in from the bottom half of the doorway. After looking around to observe the situation inside, it squeezed in, followed by a second one.

"This servant greets Master!"

Ning Rongrong kowtowed by the bedside, and Xiao Wu followed suit, kneeling a little further back and respectfully saying, "Wu Nu greets Master!"

Xiao Wuji raised his hand and beckoned to Ning Rongrong with his finger. Ning Rongrong excitedly climbed onto the bed. The cool skin pressed against his hot chest, the soft and delicate sensation making him feel a little restless.

"Your skin is so smooth and supple, you must remember to keep it that way!"

"This servant will remember!"

While feeling Ning Rongrong's delicate skin with his fingertips, Xiao Wuji turned his gaze to Xiao Wu on the ground and said sarcastically:
"Hey, isn't this Sister Xiaowu? Why are you kneeling on the ground? It's cold on the ground, don't catch a cold!"

Xiao Wu kept her head very low, not daring to look up at all. Her body trembled as if she were really frozen.

"Dancing slave, I have failed my master's teachings!"

"No, you shouldn't have let me down; you've let your mother down!"

Xiao Wuji said coldly:
"Poor Arou, she went to such great lengths to make you my slave..."

"Poor Arou almost lost her soul so that you could live..."

"Poor Arou gave birth to such a heartless daughter. As soon as she came into human society, she was blinded by the allure of the world and doesn't even know what she should be doing!"

With each sentence Xiao Wuji spoke, Xiao Wu would lower her body a little further until she was kneeling and lying face down on the floor, her body pressed against the ground.

"Get out of here, I don't need a disobedient slave like you!"

"No, no, Master! Please, give Xiaowu another chance!"

Xiao Wu, trembling, crawled to the bedside, knelt on top of Dugu Yan, and grabbed Xiao Wuji's leg. "Go!"

Xiao Wuji kicked Xiao Wu away, seemingly not caring at all.

Xiao Wu crawled over again and pleaded, "Please, please, Master, give me another chance! I'm willing to pay any price for this!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed, "Any price? Even if it means sacrificing yourself for me?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then gritted her teeth and said, "As long as Master can resurrect Mother in the future, Xiao Wu is willing to sacrifice herself!"

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but show a look of relief. It was worth spending more than 80,000 years in the illusionary realm; he had finally managed to tame her completely.

However, he is currently considering whether to let Xiao Wu sacrifice herself. If Xiao Wu sacrifices herself, he will not only get a 100,000-year soul ring, but he can also have her sacrifice a left leg bone for him. Then he can use the power of the right leg bone to restore his left leg to its original state.

But if that happens, I'll probably have to hide far away. I took the soul bone that Tang Hao prepared for his son, so how could he possibly let me go? Even if I hide in the Crown Prince's residence, it won't be safe.

Therefore, Xiao Wuji preferred to absorb the cultivation that Xiao Wu had sealed away before she took human form.

Under normal circumstances, that cultivation level would be enough for Xiao Wu to reach level 70 without doing anything, and to be given seven soul rings that best suit her. If he could swallow it whole, it would at least raise his soul power to level 90.

However, this would overlap with the effects of the immortal herb. The medicinal power accumulated in his body is enough to raise his cultivation level to over level 95, and it also has body-refining properties. In comparison, Xiao Wu's cultivation level seems quite useless.

"Fine, I'll spare your life for now, but I'll accept your cultivation level! Come on, do it yourself!"

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Wuji decided to take Xiao Wu's cultivation. The sooner or later his body recovered, the less impact it would have on him.

However, if he were to acquire Xiao Wu's cultivation, he could try to condense a soul core right now, which would be greatly beneficial to his future cultivation. Moreover, without this cultivation, Xiao Wu would be unable to generate a soul ring even if she were killed.

The method of soul core condensation he pioneered was vastly different from that of ten thousand years later. It did not require external condensation; it could be compressed directly within the body. Moreover, as long as the energy supply was sufficient, there would be little disturbance.

As Xiao Wu's body rose and fell, Xiao Wuji also activated his method of absorbing nourishment, which he had tailored for female transformed soul beasts, and used his spear to pry open the seal on Xiao Wu's cultivation.

His cultivation level, along with the floodwaters, poured out from the breach and was swallowed by Xiao Wuji.

At the same time, Xiao Wuji summoned his dodder spirit, piercing it into his flesh and blood, drilling into his meridians, and replacing his meridians with the hardened spirit.

This immense soul power, which should have been perfectly absorbed only after he had mastered the "Golden Skin and Jade Bone Body" technique and strengthened his meridians, was now completely absorbed by Xiao Wuji in this opportunistic way.

An ordinary person, even with a martial soul possessing the attribute of devouring, would not be able to use such a method that would jeopardize their future to perform a secret technique. But Xiao Wuji could.

Whether it's the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the life force stored in the external Soul Bone, or the medicinal power of the immortal herbs deposited in his heart, all of these make him fearless of such injuries. That's why he can be so reckless.

After a night of fighting and a night of cultivation, Xiao Wuji finally condensed a pitch-black soul core in his middle dantian, a core that seemed capable of devouring everything.

Placing the Devouring Soul Core on his chest was the best choice he had decided on after many simulations. Next, he only needed to condense the Life Soul Core in his lower dantian and the Spirit Soul Core in his upper dantian, and he would be able to break through to level ninety-nine without any obstacles.

Ning Rongrong helped her and Xiao Wu wash up, and then Ning Rongrong took the exhausted Xiao Wu back to class!

Fortunately, the morning was for academic classes, which gave Xiao Wu a chance to recover some of her strength.

In class, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who had matured a lot overnight, and suddenly thought of something. Just thinking about it made him excited, and he also made up his mind to secretly go and sit in on her classes in the future.

However, they didn't notice at all that the fluffy ears on Xiao Wu's head were not hair accessories...
