Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

In the following days, the atmosphere in Flaming Mountain City became somewhat subtle.

Lu Nanxi continued to handle affairs daily, inspect the magic array, and urge cultivators to mine the fire essence veins in the mountains, but there was always a hint of gloom between her brows.

Wu Tian spends his days lounging in his room, seemingly lazy, but in reality, he keeps a close eye on what's happening in the mountain city.

His extraordinary hearing allows him to detect sounds within a radius of several miles. The whispers of cultivators, Lu Nanxi's conversations with her subordinates, and even the sound of lava flowing in the distance cannot escape his ears.

With this information, he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the mountain city.

"Have you heard? The eldest young master is coming."

"Young Master? Which Young Master?"

"Who else could it be but Lu Jiuchuan, the eldest son of the Lu family? It is said that he has been in seclusion in the clan for three years and has already cultivated the 'True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire' to the peak of the eighth level, only one step away from the ninth level."

"Hiss... The eldest young master is only twenty-seven years old this year, right? His cultivation speed is even faster than that of the second young lady."

"That's natural. After all, the eldest son is the legitimate heir, and the clan's resources favor him. He also has the ancestor's personal guidance... However, I heard that the eldest son came to Flame Mountain this time to take over the mountain city."

"What? The Second Young Miss built this Flaming Mountain herself, and the Eldest Young Master is going to take it away?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! How dare you say such things? We collateral cultivators should refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Lu family. However... I think the Second Miss has been in a bad mood these past few days, probably because of this."

Similar conversations circulated quietly throughout the mountain town.

Even other Lu family cultivators had heard about it, so Lu Nanxi naturally received the news much earlier.

She became increasingly decisive in handling affairs, severely punishing several disobedient collateral cultivators and promoting several trusted confidants to important positions.

But everyone could feel a sense of oppressive tension, like an impending storm, hanging over the entire Flaming Mountain.

Wu Tian watched Lu Nanxi come and go every day and nodded to himself in approval.

This woman is indeed quite capable; she can remain calm under such pressure and do her best to consolidate her power.

Late that night, Lu Nanxi returned to her room. Instead of immediately sitting down to meditate as usual, she sat by the window, gazing at the crimson sunset outside, remaining silent for a long time.

Wu Tian knelt at her feet and could clearly sense the woman's anxiety and resentment.

He looked up at Lu Nanxi's profile.

The glow of the sunset streamed in through the window, casting a soft halo over her cool and beautiful face.

Today she wore a deep red outfit, the tight fabric highlighting her hot figure to the fullest. Her full breasts rose high under the clothes, her slender waist looked like it could be broken with a single grasp, and her rounded hips drew an alluring curve when she turned around.

Lu Nanxi pulled Wu Tian into her arms. Because the neckline of her dress was a little low, it revealed a patch of snow-white skin and delicate collarbone.

Wu Tian could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body, causing his wicked bloodline to stir slightly.

Lu Nanxi's body seemed particularly suited to nourishing the Huodou bloodline, which had a natural attraction for him.

"Why..."

Lu Nanxi whispered to the puppy in her arms, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "I spent three months and countless efforts building a city and setting up formations in this desolate wilderness. It was only with great difficulty that I was able to manage Flaming Mountain."

"What gives Lu Jiuchuan the right to take over with just a word?"

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She would never mention these words in front of outsiders, only whispering them to herself when no one was around.

"Just because he's my older brother? Just because he's the eldest son?"

"I risked everything to come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, fight against monsters, build a city in these harsh mountains, and desperately try to make a name for myself, all to gain a voice and escape the fate of being used as a breeding machine... But what about now?"

"But in the end, it's all for someone else's benefit!"

“If Lu Jiuchuan takes over Flaming Mountain, all my efforts over the past few days will be in vain.”

As Lu Nanxi spoke, her eyes reddened slightly.

But she quickly took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and a resolute look reappeared in her eyes.

"No, I will not give up."

"I still have a chance... that monstrous demon, and this newly acquired cultivation technique..."

Wu Tian's eyes flickered slightly. The cultivation method Lu Nanxi mentioned was the "Curse Fire Double Wheel Ascension Method".

Over the past two weeks, he could sense the fluctuations that Lu Nanxi generated when she practiced this technique, which clearly indicated that she had begun to try cultivating it.

Lu Nanxi gently stroked Wu Tian's fur. "Little guy, don't you think so? As long as I can capture that great demon, or master this cultivation technique, I'll be qualified to contend with Lu Jiuchuan, right?"

When she lowered her head, her neckline dropped even lower, and Wu Tian's gaze could just see that alluring white skin and deep cleavage.

Her figure was indeed stunningly hot; her full breasts trembled slightly under her dress, her slender waist was so thin it could be encircled by a single hand, and her rounded hips outlined a perfect curve.

Wu Tian's blood was becoming increasingly restless. He barked twice and rubbed his head against her palm.

Seeing this, Lu Nanxi finally smiled and said, "You should also work hard in your cultivation and help me deal with those evil people."

After venting her frustration, she put Wu Tian down, walked to the couch, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique," her body glowing with dark red flames.

But not long after, she frowned and stopped.

“Strange… I’ve been studying this ‘Dual Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique’ for half a month. I clearly feel that it is of great benefit to bloodline cultivation, but every time I get to the key point, there is always a sense of… disharmony.”

Lu Nanxi took out a jade slip, on which was engraved the cultivation technique she had copied from Wu Tian's fur.

The text of this cultivation method is ancient and profound. It describes in great detail the circulation of fire element essence and the mechanism of blood resonance. It does indeed seem to be a profound lineage.

However, after repeatedly studying it over the past few days, Lu Nanxi gradually discovered some things that were not right.

"The cultivation method says that one must cultivate with Huo Dou and use its blood essence to temper oneself... This makes sense. Many ancient families have similar methods to use the blood of demon beasts to nourish themselves."

"But... the description of the resonance process in this technique is far too detailed. Almost every step involves the fusion of blood and the exchange of essence and energy..."

Lu Nanxi's cheeks flushed slightly.

Although she was inexperienced in matters of love, she came from a prestigious family and was not entirely ignorant about dual cultivation.

The intermarriages within the clan that were conducted to maintain the purity of the bloodline were essentially a form of disguised dual cultivation.

But cultivating with one's own clansmen is one thing, cultivating with demonic beasts...

“No, that’s impossible.” Lu Nanxi shook her head, trying to dispel the absurd thought in her mind. “I must be misunderstanding something…”

She closed her eyes again and began to practice her internal energy cultivation.

This time, she deliberately ignored the embarrassing descriptions and focused on the pathways of blood circulation.

However, as soon as the technique was activated, the True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within his body spontaneously began to boil, subtly resonating with a certain being in the room.

Lu Nanxi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Wu Tian, ​​who was lying on the ground.

Suddenly, the little guy raised his head, and his dark eyes were quietly looking at her.

And deep within those eyes, flames seemed to flicker, echoing the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within her body.

Wu Tian chuckled inwardly. He deliberately released his previously restrained aura, allowing the Huo Dou bloodline to resonate with it.

Lu Nanxi's body and the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within her began to boil violently under the stimulation of the Huodou bloodline. Her magical power surged, and the circulation of her cultivation techniques immediately became smoother. "You... possess the Huodou bloodline?"

Lu Nanxi was stunned, but quickly realized that this cultivation technique was originally obtained from this little guy, so it was perfectly normal for him to have the Huodou bloodline.

"Is this the dual cultivation method of the Huodou clan?"

The thought flashed through her mind, and her beautiful face froze instantly. As if she had realized something, she quickly looked away and dared not look at Wu Tian again.

"This is impossible... I must be mistaken."

……

After discovering that Wu Tian might possess the bloodline of Huodou during the night she practiced the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Method," Lu Nanxi's attitude towards him underwent a subtle change.

She no longer simply regarded him as a puppy that had become sentient, but would observe him carefully from time to time, trying to find more abnormalities.

Wu Tian, ​​at just the right moment, would occasionally "unintentionally" reveal some of his extraordinary abilities while she was cultivating.

For example, when Lu Nanxi was cultivating the "True Explanation of the Blazing Fire of the Capital" to a critical point, and her internal fire energy accumulated too much and her blood and qi were churning, Wu Tian would come close to her and open his mouth to inhale and exhale the fire elemental energy dissipating from her body.

The fiery energy that Lu Nanxi would have had to painstakingly refine was easily absorbed by Wu Tian after entering his body, as if it had vanished into thin air.

After he inhaled and exhaled, the concentration of fire element in the air decreased significantly, and Lu Nanxi's cultivation became much smoother.

For example, when Lu Nanxi was practicing the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique", he would actively release his bloodline energy to resonate with it, so that the technique could operate smoothly.

After this happened several times, Lu Nanxi's absurd guess grew stronger and stronger.

"Could it be that the cultivation technique in that scroll is really a method specifically for dual cultivation with Huo Dou?"

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

The manual clearly had great benefits for her; just a slight circulation of it made her feel her blood boiling and her cultivation advancing.

"But……"

Lu Nanxi's bright and pretty face suddenly became unpredictable.

Wu Tian observed Lu Nanxi's changes every day.

This woman is indeed clever; she has gradually uncovered the truth.

But she was still struggling, still resisting.

This is normal. Not to mention the status of a noblewoman, even an ordinary mortal woman would find it difficult to accept the idea of ​​cultivating with a demon.

Wu Tian wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

Lu Jiuchuan is coming soon, and Lu Nanxi will face even greater pressure then. She will have to make a choice.

"This cultivation technique... does it really require dual cultivation with Huo Dou?"

On this day, after Lu Nanxi finished dealing with the affairs of the mountain city, she dismissed everyone and carried Wu Tian to the bed.

Wu Tian was held in Lu Nanxi's arms and could clearly feel the softness and warmth of her body.

Today she wore a light purple long dress, the dress was well-tailored and perfectly showed off her hot figure. Her high breasts stretched the dress tightly, her slender waist was tied with a jade belt, and her round hips outlined an alluring curve under the hem of the dress.

Her face remained aloof and beautiful, but her eyes held a hint of hesitation and struggle.

Wu Tian could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her body, a scent of a woman's natural fragrance mixed with the power of fire magic, which had a fatal attraction for his Huodou bloodline.

She sat cross-legged opposite Wu Tian, ​​her expression serious: "Little guy, I know you are quite intelligent and can understand what I say."

"I'm asking you, does the cultivation technique you're passing on to me... does it require my cooperation in practicing it?"

Wu Tian looked up and met her gaze.

He did not respond directly, but slowly released a wisp of pure Huodou bloodline aura.

Stimulated by this aura, the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within Lu Nanxi's body began to boil violently.

This is a resonance at the level of blood, more persuasive than any words.

hum! !

An ancient, fierce, and calamity-inducing bloodline pressure spread out.

The pressure wasn't intense, but it caused Lu Nanxi's Heavenly Blazing Fire True Blood to surge, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy. Her body even trembled slightly, as if some deeper power was reviving.

She groaned softly, an unnatural blush rising on her face. Her whole body felt weak, and a strange sensation rising within her made her somewhat panicked.

She could clearly feel that the dormant True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within her body had spontaneously become active under the stimulation of the little guy's bloodline aura, circulating at a speed more than 30% faster than usual.

What alarmed her even more was that, as her bloodline became more active, the fire elemental essence that she usually had to painstakingly refine was now spontaneously flowing into her body and being absorbed and transformed by her bloodline.

She could feel her cultivation level increasing at a visible rate.

"This...this is bloodline resonance?"

Lu Nanxi was shocked.

She finally understood that the seemingly ambiguous descriptions in the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Method" were not mere fabrications.

This cultivation method does indeed require cooperation with Huo Dou, leveraging the resonance of their bloodlines to accelerate cultivation.

And this little guy in front of me is the perfect cultivation partner.

"But...but..."

Lu Nanxi's cheeks burned, and she was torn between her inner turmoil and her own conscience.

Cultivating with demons... this was simply beyond her bottom line.

No matter how down on her luck Lu Nanxi is, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Lu family. How could she possibly do something that violates human ethics and tarnishes her bloodline?

But if you don't practice dual cultivation...

Lu Nanxi felt her magical power rapidly increasing within her body, and then she thought of Lu Jiuchuan's impending arrival, the old fogies in her clan waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and the fate that might befall her...

"No, there must be other ways."

She gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the boiling blood within her, and carried Wu Tian off the bed. "I can continue to study this cultivation technique, but dual cultivation... is absolutely impossible!"

Wu Tian was not disappointed when he was put back on the ground.

He knew that Lu Nanxi's resistance was temporary.

The bloodline resonance she experienced just now had already given her a taste of its benefits; the rapid increase in cultivation was an irresistible temptation for any cultivator.

More importantly, with Lu Jiuchuan's imminent arrival, Lu Nanxi will face increasing pressure.

She will make her choice when the time comes.

Some things, once started, are hard to turn back from... (End of Chapter)
