This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 300 Underground Breakthrough
It was late at night, around midnight.

Luo Zijun's soul left her body and she arrived at the back garden, where she waited with mixed feelings.

His relationship with the Moon Palace Fairy was once that of both teacher and friend.

Now, there's another layer of relationship.

Carefully recalling every little detail from when they first met until now, and the gradual changes in their relationship, I couldn't help but feel as if I were in a dream.

"It's a pity I didn't get to see its true appearance..."

"Whether she's beautiful or ugly, I don't care anymore now..."

Lost in thought, she soon saw a familiar snow-white figure appear on the full moon in the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was right next to her.

She truly seemed like a fairy who had flown down from the moon palace.

The Moon Palace Fairy landed gracefully in front of him, her attire unaffected by their relationship, maintaining her indifferent demeanor: "Your physical body has advanced?"

Luo Zijun said, "I've advanced to the seventh level of martial arts. I feel my soul has also been strengthened a lot, so I've decided to go underground tonight to break through the barrier."

The Moon Palace Fairy said nothing more, turned around and walked to the entrance, activating the formation.

Luo Zijun quickly followed.

The two stood facing each other, seemingly looking at each other, but neither spoke.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Fortunately, at that moment, a beam of light appeared.

"Shh!"

The two were sucked into the beam of light and quickly arrived underground.

As we stepped onto the stone bridge, the Moon Palace Fairy spoke, "You will swallow the Samadhi Fire Lotus in a moment and begin your breakthrough. I will protect you outside the cave."

Luo Zijun asked, "So soon? Don't you need to prepare anything?"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned to look at him and asked, "What else do we need to prepare?"

Luo Zijun said, "At least we should carefully examine all parts of the soul to see if there are any hidden ailments, or if the soul power is sufficient to break through the barrier, or..."

"I've checked everything."

The Moon Palace Fairy interrupted him in a nonchalant tone.

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "Huh? When did the fairy have the checkup? How come I didn't know?"

The Moon Palace Fairy did not answer immediately, but continued walking forward. After entering the dark tunnel, she finally spoke, "While treating your poison."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Oh, so it was when the fairy bestowed a spring of gratitude.

The two emerged from the tunnel and soon arrived at the cave.

Luo Zijun entered the cave, walked to a corner and sat down cross-legged. After calming down for a while, she took out the seed of the Samadhi Fire Lotus and swallowed it directly.

A distinct chill immediately flowed from the throat of the soul into the abdomen.

Instantly, the sea of ​​souls surged with waves and soul power churned.

Then, with a loud "boom," an explosive force appeared, almost shattering his soul sea. Immediately, that force, like a raging beast, roared and stabbed towards the meridians of his soul.

Luo Zijun shuddered, the fluorescence on the surface of his soul flickered rapidly, and he felt his entire soul begin to expand, as if it were about to explode.

"Fairy, what's going on? I feel like my body is going to explode!"

He realized something was wrong. The energy from the Samadhi Fire Lotus seed, which he hadn't even refined yet, had exploded and started wildly crashing everywhere.
The Moon Palace Fairy leaned against the doorway, her expression calm and composed. She said in a light tone, "Just break through directly; there's no need for refining. The power contained in the Samadhi Fire Lotus Seed is similar to soul power itself, so there's no need to refine it. You just need to mobilize the soul power in your soul sea and use it to break through the barrier."

Luo Zijun felt that these powers were too domineering and worried, "Won't the meridians be unable to withstand them and suddenly rupture?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said, "Yes."

"what?"

"Or not."

The Moon Palace Fairy said calmly, "It depends on the strength of your own soul. If it breaks, you will fail to break through and may need one or two years to try again. If you can withstand this power, then you should be able to succeed."

Luo Zijun didn't speak again, because at this point, he was no longer able to speak.

The power erupting from the Samadhi Fire Lotus Seed has begun to run rampant everywhere, like a series of unrestrained demonic beasts, fiercely crashing into and destroying the meridians throughout his body.

He immediately activated his cultivation technique, urging the soul power in his soul sea to catch up and quickly suppress them.

Fortunately, he was on his own territory. No matter how domineering these foreign energies were, they could not withstand his own soul power. After several suppressions, the violent power was successfully wrapped up by his soul power and sent back to his soul sea.

When all the power returned to the Soul Sea, the entire Soul Sea was filled with turbulent undercurrents.

Without any hesitation, Luo Zijun immediately mobilized all her power, converging it into a torrent that rushed towards the clearly visible pass not far away!
"boom!"

The soul power, carrying the strength brought by the Samadhi Fire Lotus seed, fiercely attacked the pass.

However, the seemingly thin pass only trembled slightly and remained unharmed.

Luo Zijun did not stop and began her second attack.

Then, the third time, the fourth time...

As dawn approached, the pass remained as solid as a mountain, without even a trace of crack.

At this moment, Luo Zijun's soul was already dim, her meridians were in pain, and most of her soul power was consumed.

He felt he was definitely doomed tonight, but what should he do with the restless power brought by the Fire Lotus Seed within him? It seemed it could only aid in his breakthrough, not be refined and used for his own purposes. If he brought it back to the mortal realm, back to his physical body, would his body be unable to withstand it and explode, causing him to die?

"Fairy!"

Luo Zijun slowly finished her practice and told the Moon Palace Fairy about her current situation.

After listening, the Moon Palace Fairy said calmly, "If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, you will need at least five nights of intense effort... As for the power of the Fire Lotus Seed, it has not been consumed much. Without the seed's restraint, it is extremely volatile. Naturally, you cannot bring it back to the mortal realm, much less your physical body."

Luo Zijun asked, "Then what should I do?" The Moon Palace Fairy paused for a moment, then said, "You don't have to go back; you can stay here and continue cultivating to break through your cultivation barrier."

"Huh? What about my physical body?"

"Let it stay up there for five days."

"..."

Luo Zijun was dumbfounded. Without her soul, how could her physical body endure five days in the mortal realm?
"Fairy, that definitely won't work. My physical body isn't strong enough for that. Besides, if I don't leave the room for five days, someone will break in to check. If they find my body is still, they'll think I'm dead and put me in a coffin to be cremated or buried. Wouldn't that be terrible?"

The Moon Palace Fairy pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That is indeed possible."

Luo Zijun said, "Fairy, is there any other way? Let's think about it again!"

The Moon Palace Fairy pondered for a long time before looking at him and saying, "Then there's only one way."

Luo Zijun quickly asked, "What method?"

"Transfer that power to me, and I can keep it for you temporarily. I will transfer it back to you tomorrow night."

"Huh? How do I send it?"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned around, looked into the distance, and did not answer.

Luo Zijun immediately said anxiously, "Fairy, tell me quickly, how do I transmit it? I can unleash other powers with a single punch, but I feel that that power simply cannot be transmitted..."

The Moon Palace Fairy remained silent for a moment before saying, "Only... can teleportation occur when acupoints are connected..."

"Acupoints to acupoints?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback and quickly asked, "How do you match acupoints with acupoints?"

Then it dawned on him: "Palm to palm?"

The Moon Palace Fairy stood with her back to him at the cave entrance, aloof and cold, gazing into the distance, and shook her head slightly: "It requires special acupoints."

Luo Zijun asked curiously, "What are special acupoints? Where are they located?"

The Moon Palace Fairy fell silent once again.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to get up, come behind her, and cup his hands, saying, "Fairy, this matter is urgent, please tell me! Where exactly is that special acupoint, and how can I transmit it to you?"

The Moon Palace Fairy remained silent for a while before calmly uttering two words: "Detoxification."

"Detoxification?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback by what he heard, not understanding what acupoints had to do with detoxification. He was transmitting the energy of the Samadhi Fire Lotus seed, not being poisoned.

The Moon Palace Fairy gazed into the distance and remained silent.

"Detoxification...acupoints..."

"Acupoint to acupoint...transferring energy...detoxification...detoxification..."

Luo Zijun pondered deeply.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, and everything became clear!
"Detoxify...detoxify!"

"You helped me detoxify, so naturally I must repay you handsomely by helping you detoxify as well..."

Luo Zijun finally understood.

So that's the method required to transfer the energy of the fire lotus seed within the body.

"Fairy, this..."

He felt it was a bit outrageous.

The Moon Palace Fairy said coldly, "I think you should try continuing to cultivate and break through here, and let your physical body endure up here for five days."

Luo Zijun immediately rejected the idea: "Absolutely not!"

That could really kill people!

The Moon Palace Fairy turned her head and looked at him, saying, "So what do you mean? Let me tell you, I only got together with you before because of the antidote... Hmph, do you think I would let you defile my body now?"

Luo Zijun said, "But fairy, I..."

"impossible!"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned her face away, her gaze returning to the distance, and said coldly, "I've already helped you a lot, it's impossible for me to help you again... Hmph!"

Luo Zijun could only say, "Fairy, anyway, we've already...we've already done that..."

"Humph!"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned her face to the right again and said coldly, "I said, it's impossible!"

Seeing that it was almost dawn outside and time was running out, Luo Zijun had no choice but to plead, "Fairy, please help me one more time. From now on, I will serve you like a slave and do whatever you want!"

"Like a slave?"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned her head and looked at him.

Luo Zijun immediately replied, "Yes, I'll do anything, even be your slave!"

He thought to himself: "I've done this so many times before, what's wrong with doing it again?"

The Moon Palace Fairy seemed to ponder and hesitate for a long time, staring at him for a long time before coldly snorting and saying, "Since you are begging so humbly, then I will... reluctantly help you one more time... Remember, only this once!"

After saying that, she turned and went into the cave.

Then, as if he had just been detoxified, he leaned against the wall, sat down, and closed his eyes.

Seeing her like this, Luo Zijun suddenly had some doubts. Was this really the only way to "detoxify" the energy transmitted from the Fire Lotus Seed? Or was someone, having tasted the sweetness, deliberately...?

Forget it, what's the point of thinking about this now?
Just do it!
