Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 374 The Effect of "Law"? (Second Update!)

Zheng Que strode into the apricot grove, petals drifting down onto his shoulders along the way, bringing a delicate fragrance.

Soon, he arrived at a black lacquered door with copper nails. After standing still, he cupped his hands and said loudly to the inside, "I am Zheng Que, and I have come here to see the fairy Gao Yinxia of the Tianqi Sect."

"I humbly request an audience with the fairy in person!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cave entrance opened instantly, and a pure spiritual energy immediately escaped from the door, causing the flower branches in front of the door to tremble and scatter more petals.

Zheng Que looked up and saw that the area behind the door was vast, like a palace. Inside, a stream meandered and swirled, and lotus, water chestnuts, and reeds were planted in abundance, yet it did not feel cramped at all. Like bonsai decorations, it made the magnificent surroundings vibrant with life.

Looking past the stream and flowers, one's gaze moves towards the hall. In front of the eight-panel black wood screen with gold-lacquered persimmon calyx patterns and inlaid mica, there is a cloud bed with openwork lotus scroll patterns and inlaid chicken-blood stone. On both sides are tall celadon vases, filled with lotus flowers, sparrow feathers, and fly whisks. On the long table in front of the cloud bed, there is also a pot of jade evergreen bonsai.

At this moment, a graceful figure leaned against the cloud bed, her face obscured by the bonsai. Only the hem of her rose-purple skirt, trailing like bloodstains along the edge of the cloud bed, and the cold glint of a ginkgo hairpin on her dark hair, flashing sharply amidst the swaying branches and leaves.

A familiar voice reached Zheng Que's ears: "Come in!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que immediately recognized that it was Gao Yinxia's voice!

With one hand on the soul-nourishing bag at his waist, he strode into the cave.

As he entered, the cave gate immediately closed, stirring up a gust of wind that swept across the entire cave. The lush flowers and plants growing along the stream rippled and undulated, creating colorful waves of blossoms.

Zheng Que looked around and sensed that although the furnishings and appearance of this Flower Path Cave were different from the Spirit Sea Cave where he lived, the spiritual energy here was also abundant and rich. In terms of cultivation environment, the two were comparable.

Once inside, there are three doors on each side, labeled with their uses such as talisman making, alchemy, and weapon forging.

At this moment, all the gates were tightly closed, with only the stream flowing gently in the middle. Occasionally, a fish would leap out of the water, splashing small droplets.

He composed himself, walked across the small arched bridge over the stream, and arrived at the palace.

At this moment, the figure on the cloud bed also sat up. Judging from her appearance, it was indeed Gao Yinxia. Just like before, she looked at Zheng Que with an icy expression.

Zheng Que looked at the other party and was about to explain his purpose when Gao Yinxia spoke first: "You want to establish a Heavenly Foundation Establishment? Senior Sister Fu already told me about it yesterday."

"I agreed."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards Zheng Que.

Zheng Que listened, slightly taken aback. Did he really agree to help him achieve the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment?
This disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect is actually so easy to talk to?

Or is the other person lying to me?
While thinking quickly, Zheng Que immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Gao, I am now a cultivator of the imperial court and will soon participate in the imperial examination for immortals."

"Prefect Xiang of the prefectural city greatly appreciates me and has even bestowed upon me the Spirit Sea Cave Abode so that I may cultivate before the Immortal Examination."

"If you, fellow Daoist, wish to harm me, you are going against the imperial court and making an enemy of the Prefectural Magistrate..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yinxia had already walked up to him and reached out to grab him.

Zheng Que did not hesitate and was about to open the Soul Nourishing Bag to release the ghost servants inside, but the next moment, his hand felt light and the Soul Nourishing Bag inexplicably appeared in Gao Yinxia's hand!

Zheng Que was immediately startled. When did the other party make their move?
He knew the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but the other party's speed was clearly not this fast last time in Taiping County! Before he could continue thinking, Gao Yinxia casually threw his soul-nourishing bag to His Highness, then grabbed his collar, and in a flash, she brought him to a quiet room.

boom!
Zheng Que was thrown directly onto the cloud bed, which was covered with a tooth-shaped pillow and a brocade quilt.

Immediately afterwards, under Zheng Que's gaze, which quickly shifted from confusion and bewilderment to shock, Gao Yinxia began to deftly undress.

The quiet room had no windows, only a pink gauze palace lantern lit by the bedside. The candlelight was filtered by the light pink gauze, making it exceptionally soft, illuminating Gao Yinxia's face, which was as bright as the moon. Her face was delicate and smooth, her figure graceful and charming. Her rose-purple dress slid slowly down her fragrant shoulders, like a gardenia slowly blooming, its tenderness wrapped in a refreshing fragrance.

Zheng Que was dumbfounded. What was going on?
He hadn't said a word yet, was the other party going to start dual cultivation with him directly?
This……

Mu Xian Gu's words are that effective?!
Would a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect really make such a great sacrifice just because of a fellow disciple's words?

wrong!

It might not be entirely due to Mu Xiangu; it should also be related to his own "law"!
After all, this familiar scene was exactly the same as the scene that "Law Ghost" had deduced in the illusion!
I never imagined that my "rules" would be so powerful!

Whenever he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, or was about to break through to a higher realm, female cultivators would actually come to him to cultivate...

In the blink of an eye, Gao Yinxia, ​​her robes half-undone, had already climbed onto the cloud bed. While roughly pulling open Zheng Que's clothes, she said in a cold voice, "Senior Sister Fu said that you came to see me this time for dual cultivation."

"Let's not waste time."

"Hurry up and finish your training, then get out of here immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay!"

As he spoke, he immediately wrapped his arms around Gao Yinxia's slender waist. Her skin was smooth and supple to the touch, like a newly sprouted willow branch in spring. It was warm and full of the vibrant life that only a living person could possess.

Gao Yinxia glanced at Zheng Que with a look of disgust, but made no attempt to stop him.

Seeing this, Zheng Que immediately took advantage of the situation, and pressed Gao Yinxia down onto the edge of the bed, starting his cultivation immediately.

The [Secret Record of Yin-Yang Harmony] will begin operating immediately.

Almost the instant the technique was activated, Zheng Que felt an extreme sense of comfort, like an electric shock spreading throughout his body!
At the same time, the spiritual energy within his body surged rapidly, as if a floodgate had been opened.

At this moment, the speed at which his cultivation was increasing was several times faster than when he was cultivating with Mu Xiangu!
"what……"

At this moment, Gao Yinxia suddenly let out an uncontrollable cry, but quickly covered her mouth and said in a suppressed voice, "You, you're not practicing dual cultivation, you're just absorbing yin to replenish yang..."

Zheng Que coughed lightly. Wasn't it because he didn't have any dual cultivation techniques and only knew how to use divination?

Thinking of this, he pretended not to hear anything and immediately began to fully activate the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record].

With a feeling of exhilaration, as if floating on clouds, his spiritual power continued to grow.

Sounds echoed frequently in the quiet room; the cloud bed swayed, and the breath rose and fell, long and continuous…
