One person established a clan

Chapter 361 Sleepless Night
As his mind drifted in, Su Cheng felt as if he had stepped into a strange, illusory space.

Following the dazzling light, he quickly spotted Bai Lingling's petite figure.

She was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, a warm white light flowing between her small palms, as she focused intently on slowly refining it.

[The Star-Suppressing Cup, a special spiritual treasure] [An object created at the dawn of time, containing the essence of the primordial universe]

[Daoist partner 'Bai Lingling' is refining the spirit essence of the Zhenxing Cup]

[Multiple alchemical fires can assist in accelerating the refining process.]

Su Cheng's mind raced, and he immediately floated forward, unleashing a torrent of elixir fire in his palm.

This flame has been upgraded and tempered multiple times by the Immortal Sect system, gathering the power of many ancient bloodlines and spiritual veins of heaven and earth. It has long since become extremely astonishing, and its firepower is strong enough to melt and refine Void Profound Spiritual Treasures.

As the flames drew closer, the white light seemed to tremble slightly as if it possessed a spirit, but instead of struggling or dodging, it quietly lay dormant in Bai Lingling's palm, allowing the two of them to refine it together.

"This is."

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this, and he understood.

It seems that Xuan'er's words were true; the Zhenxing Cup truly willingly accepted Lingling's refinement.

"Having been sealed here for thousands of years, Lingling can be said to have turned misfortune into blessing."

"Xiao Su, thank you."

Bai Lingling quietly parted her lips, a faint smile appearing on her serene and pure young face.

With the help of the elixir fire, she felt much more relaxed and slowly opened her eyes.

Gazing at Su Cheng's illusory figure, she couldn't help but say softly, "I'll take care of the rest myself."

"Are you really alright?"

"Yes, it should be completed in less than two days."

Bai Lingling's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she softly said, "With the power of this Star-Suppressing Cup, perhaps I can recover a significant amount of my cultivation."

hum-

With a flash of fire, Su Cheng opened his eyes, withdrew his hand, and retreated a distance.

At this moment, Bai Lingling and the Zhenxing Cup were enveloped in dense dragon flames, burning fiercely.

"Did it work?" Shi Xuan approached curiously. "Miss Bai's aura seems to have become even more refined."

"Just wait a couple of days."

Su Cheng smiled contentedly. "Then, Lingling will be able to leave with us, full of energy."

Shi Xuan's expression brightened slightly upon hearing this. "Great. Huh?"

She suddenly sensed something strange and turned her head to give him a subtle look.

"You rascal, what just happened..."

"Cough, it took a lot of effort to calm my senior sister down."

Seeing Su Cheng's serious expression, Shi Xuan pouted and looked down at the bamboo garden in the mountains.

Noticing that Lü Hongxi's breathing had also returned to normal, she was both amused and exasperated.

"You two are really... ridiculous."

Using intense combat and dual cultivation to control one's demonic heart—looking across all realms of history, it's likely impossible to find a second example of this.
Su Cheng chuckled: "Senior Sister has a unique personality, but that's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Alright, let's go down first."

Shi Xuan smiled helplessly and pulled the puppet that was guarding him over. "As you said, wait here for two days."

"Row."

At the same time, Su Cheng took out the communication jade and sent the message that he would return in two days to Sha'er and the others.

With the great war raging in the upper realm, it must have been quite a stretch for those five races to spare troops to ambush them in the lower realm.

Having suffered repeated setbacks, they are unlikely to dare to make any rash moves against the lower realms.

After Su Cheng and Shi Xuan returned to the Bamboo Garden, they informed Fu Luo and Lü Hongxi of the arrangements.

"Staying here for a couple of days wouldn't be a problem."

Lu Hongxi smiled gently: "It's just that Senior Bai's bamboo house is a bit cramped. I wonder if Sister Fu is comfortable with it?"

Flora feigned composure and said, "I wouldn't mind."

Her gaze shifted slightly, meeting Su Cheng's eyes, and she couldn't help but blush.

"As long as Uncle doesn't do anything too reckless, it's fine."

"What do you think I am?" Su Cheng chuckled.

Flo blushed and muttered to herself. Recalling the 'fierce battle scene' she had just witnessed, her legs still felt weak.

"Your intentions are impure." Su Chengxin understood and chuckled as he ruffled her hair. "I was just praising you for being so attentive, but it turns out you were distracted and spying."

"No, no, I'm just worried."

Seeing the two joking around, Lü Hongxi's eyes softened, and she exchanged a glance with Shi Xuan beside her.

She gently smoothed her hair, her smile becoming even more welcoming. "Ms. Shi, thank you so much for coming to help us despite the trouble."

"With enemies around, I'm just accompanying them."

Shi Xuan smiled faintly: "As for you, Miss Lü, even your temperament has changed quite a bit."

Lu Hongxi's expression was slightly wistful. "After being possessed by demons for many days, I have now come to my senses and have come to understand some things."

She looked at Su Cheng's back again, her gaze softening even more.

"That's fine too." Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I don't think there will be any problems when we meet Senior Duanmu and the others later."

"Duanmu?"

Lu Hongxi suddenly came to her senses, her gaze shifting slightly.

"My junior brother just mentioned that Senior Duanmu seems to be a much older elder, but what about their relationship?"

"We became Daoist partners by a twist of fate."

Shi Xuan introduced softly, "That senior is very gentle and considerate towards his nemesis. If you two meet again in the future, you'll definitely have a good chat..."

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Lü Hongxi had narrowed her crimson eyes slightly, and a faint crimson glint seemed to flash across them.

"Do you spoil your junior brother a lot?"

"."

Shi Xuan immediately fell silent, secretly feeling ashamed.

I thought Miss Lü had completely returned to normal, but judging from her current demeanor, could it be that she's become jealous of Senior Duanmu?

"Hmm?" Su Cheng suddenly felt a chill and subconsciously turned around to look.

But then he saw Lü Hongxi smiling warmly at him. "Junior brother, there's no need to worry about Senior Bai anymore. Why don't you go back inside and take a seat?"

Before we knew it, the night had deepened.

There were hundreds of illusory figures guarding the Dragon Pool, and everyone's divine senses were constantly covering the surrounding area, so Su Cheng was not worried about enemy attacks.

After washing up briefly, he lay down on the familiar bamboo bed.

The puppet also took off its outer robe, quietly and obediently got into bed, and snuggled into the arms to lie down.

"As always, Senior Bai keeps this place clean and tidy."

Shi Xuan chuckled in his mind, "It's exactly the same as it was when we left."

“Yes.” Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the other bed.

Lu Hongxi seemed to be exhausted from her recent seclusion and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Okay, stop looking."

Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "If you still miss her, why don't you go and sleep with her for one night? I'll watch over her for you."

Su Cheng chuckled inwardly. "Xuan'er is that good?"

"I'm just worried about things getting messy." Shi Xuan rolled his eyes at him. "Once Miss Lü meets Senior Duanmu, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

Just then, a beautiful figure silently walked into the bamboo house.

After taking a bath and changing her clothes, Flora sat down on the edge of the bed, looking slightly awkward, and turned her head to look at Su Cheng.

"Uncle, tonight..."

She blushed and pursed her lips slightly, saying softly, "You mustn't be silly."

Knowing she was a little shy, Su Cheng smiled gently and pulled the young woman, now a wife for the first time, into his arms.

"Don't worry, Lingling is currently at a critical stage of refining, I wouldn't do something so reckless."

"Um"

Flora nestled against her shoulder, feeling the familiar warmth and scent, her heart gradually calming down, and drowsiness began to creep in.

Su Cheng gently stroked her jet-black hair. After she had fallen asleep with steady breathing, he prepared to close his eyes and meditate to properly take stock of his gains.

But not long after, a few rustling sounds reached my ears.

Immediately, another warm, soft body quietly slipped into the bed and slowly climbed up.
