Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

In the following period, Lu Nanxi became increasingly focused on cultivating the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique".

It wasn't because she accepted the idea of ​​dual cultivation with demons, but because she had no way out.

Lu Jiuchuan's oppression became increasingly apparent.

Not only was the power of the entire Lu Family Mountain City seized, but even her personal guards were transferred away.

Lu Qingshuang completely sided with Lu Jiuchuan, willingly becoming his personal maid in order to humiliate Lu Nanxi and to demonstrate Lu Jiuchuan's power.

Lu Hongshang was transferred to be in charge of the outermost and most dangerous night patrol of the mountain city.

Lu Jiuchuan himself began to frequently "invite" Lu Nanxi to his residence to "discuss important matters".

Sometimes they would inquire about the old state of the mountain city, and sometimes they would discuss cultivation techniques, but every time they talked, Lu Jiuchuan's gaze made her feel like she was being pricked by needles.

He would always slowly sweep his gaze over her slender neck and taut waistline, finally settling on her chest, which was heaving slightly with suppressed anger. It was an undisguised possessiveness, as if she were already his.

"Second sister, the ancestor has tentatively set our wedding date for six months from now."

On this day, Lu Jiuchuan summoned Lu Nanxi to the quiet room again.

He wore a loose bathrobe, the collar casually open, revealing his strong and muscular chest. He leaned against the soft couch, toying with a jade pendant in his hand, his gaze like a cold snake's tongue, coiling around the woman standing not far away.

Lu Nanxi stood three zhang away from him. Although her plain white dress was conservative and dignified, it could not hide her naturally alluring figure.

The fabric stretched taut across her high, firm breasts, creating a breathtaking arc, while her waist suddenly narrowed, appearing even more slender due to the tightness.

Her face remained expressionless, but her fingertips dug deeply into her palms from her sleeves: "I will not agree to this marriage."

“Agree?” Lu Jiuchuan laughed. He sat up, his robe slipping down further, his gaze burning as he licked her cheeks, which were slightly red with anger. “Second sister, do you really think you can decide your own marriage? The direct descendants of the Lu family do not marry outside the family; this is a thousand-year-old ancestral rule.”

"If we don't unite, are we going to let this pure blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire flow into outsiders?"

He slowly stood up, the shadow cast by his tall figure gradually looming over him. "Or perhaps... my second sister has someone else in her heart?"

"No." Lu Nanxi answered decisively, but involuntarily took a half step back, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a shadow under her eyes.

"That's good." Lu Jiuchuan nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I feel that the bottleneck of the ninth level has loosened somewhat during my cultivation these past few days. If you and I cultivate together, we might be able to condense the ancestral blood in one fell swoop..."

He walked towards Lu Nanxi, his pace unhurried, enjoying the predatory instinct of his prey retreating: "Second sister, why don't we give it a try sooner rather than later? We'll be husband and wife sooner or later anyway..."

His gaze fell on her slightly parted, glossy lips, then slid down to her fair and delicate neck.

Lu Nanxi retreated several steps until her back lightly touched the cold pillar, her hands pressed tightly on the iron whip at her waist, her knuckles turning white.

Her clothes heaved with her rapid breathing, outlining a full and soft silhouette. This unconscious allure was particularly striking in the oppressive atmosphere.

"Brother, please have some self-respect." Her voice was cold, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible madness and ruthlessness.

If she were truly forced into a corner, she wouldn't be a weak woman who would simply surrender.

Lu Jiuchuan stopped, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a playful smile.

He stared at her with almost greedy eyes as she tried to maintain her dignity but couldn't hide her panic, as if admiring a precious piece of porcelain that was about to be obtained: "Alright, since Second Sister is shy, let's wait a little longer."

“However… six months isn’t a long time.” He drew out the words meaningfully, his gaze sweeping over her body one last time, as if branding her with ownership. “Second sister, it’s best to get used to it sooner rather than later.”

After leaving Lu Jiuchuan's residence, Lu Nanxi hurried back to her room.

She closed the door, leaned against it, and gasped for breath, as if she had just escaped from a tiger's den.

Her plain white clothes were slightly damp with cold sweat, clinging tightly to her shapely back and waist.

She slowly slid to the ground, wrapping her arms around her trembling shoulders. Her once aloof and proud face, admired by countless people, was now only pale and ferocious, a result of being driven to despair.

Yet it blossoms with a breathtakingly poignant beauty.

Wu Tian lay on the soft cushion, looking at Lu Nanxi's angry and fierce eyes.

He could sense that Lu Nanxi was nearing her limit.

Lu Jiuchuan's relentless pressure left her with almost no way out.

……

Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating a corner of the room.

Wu Tian lay on the soft cushion. Hearing the noise, he raised his head. His dark eyes seemed to be like a rising sun under the moonlight, shining brightly with the moon.

Lu Nanxi looked at him, pondering a profound passage from the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique":
"...Bloodline resonance is not only about physical union, but also about the fusion of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit."

"Initially, one can use breathing exercises, physical contact, and mental connection to gradually progress until their bloodlines are fully in harmony, at which point the actual union of dragon and tiger can take place..."

"Perhaps...it doesn't necessarily have to go that far?"

Once this idea takes hold, it grows wildly like weeds.

Lu Nanxi walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, then picked up Wu Tian and brought him to her.

Wu Tian was held in Lu Nanxi's arms, and he could clearly feel her hesitation and struggle.

She had just changed into a long dress, and the curves of her body were faintly visible under the thin fabric.

He could smell her faint body fragrance, mixed with an air of hesitation and struggle.

Lu Nanxi is now standing on the edge of a choice: to submit to Lu Jiuchuan on one hand, or to cultivate with this "demon" on the other.

"Little guy... if I'm just using your bloodline resonance to aid my cultivation... it doesn't count as true dual cultivation... right?"

She seemed to be asking Wu Tian, ​​but more like she was trying to convince herself.

"Wow~"

Wu Tian tilted his head and called out softly.

Lu Nanxi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to circulate the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique".

Wu Tian's heart stirred; he knew the time had come.

He released the seal on his internal energy and slowly circulated the Huodou bloodline within him, resonating with the woman's body and bloodline.

The true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within Lu Nanxi's body began to boil violently, creating a subtle resonance with his bloodline.

It was a wonderful feeling; the two people's energy and spirit were drawn to each other by the pull of their blood.

This time, she did not deliberately suppress the bloodline resonance as usual, but instead relaxed her mind and let the True Blood of the Heavenly Fiery Flame within her body boil as the cultivation technique circulated.

hum! !

A strange sense of resonance quietly grew between her and Wu Tian.

Lu Nanxi could clearly feel that an ancient, blazing bloodline power, carrying the aura of calamity, was surging from the little guy's body. That power resonated with the True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within her body.

Like two flames of the same origin, they were drawn to each other and drew closer in the void.

The fire element essence that usually requires careful refining is now spontaneously flowing into the body's acupoints and being absorbed and transformed by the true blood.

She could feel her cultivation level increasing at a visible rate, a feeling like parched land finally receiving sweet rain. What surprised her even more was that, in the state of resonance, her understanding of the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" was also deepening.

Some previously obscure and difficult-to-understand techniques suddenly become clear; some previously unawakened potential within one's bloodline begins to quietly awaken.

Her cultivation and magical power, which had stagnated for a long time, were actually improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This...this is the wonder of bloodline resonance?"

Lu Nanxi was shocked.

But at that moment, the resonance reached a critical point.

A strange heat suddenly surged within her, rising from her lower abdomen and spreading to her limbs, making her cheeks flush and her breathing become rapid.

An unprecedented sense of emptiness began to grow within me, as if something was craving and calling out...

She suddenly opened her eyes, interrupting the flow of her cultivation technique.

The resonance suddenly disappeared, and the burning sensation slowly subsided, but the emptiness that lingered in the body lingered for a long time.

Lu Nanxi gasped for breath, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. In the moonlight, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were moist, and her chest heaved with her rapid breathing. The neckline of her light green dress was soaked with sweat, revealing glimpses of her fair skin underneath.

"That was just now..."

She recalled the description in the cultivation technique of "blood mingling, desire arising spontaneously," and her face turned pale and then red.

It turns out that when bloodline resonance reaches a certain level, it really can trigger the body's instinctive desires.

That desire did not come from romantic love, but from the most primal attraction deep in the blood, like dry wood meeting a raging fire. With just a spark, it could ignite an incredibly intense explosion, enough to burn everything.

"No... we can't continue..."

Lu Nanxi put Wu Tian back on the cushion, then walked to the window, opened it, and let the night breeze caress her burning cheeks.

But deep inside, a voice whispered:
If... if we can control the degree well... only use resonance to assist in cultivation, without touching the final step... would that be enough?
This idea, like a seed, quietly took root in her heart.

Wu Tian lay on the soft cushion, watching Lu Nanxi's back as she stood by the window.

He could sense Lu Nanxi's inner struggle.

The bloodline resonance she had just experienced had given her a taste of the benefits; the rapid increase in her cultivation level and the profound understanding of the cultivation technique were temptations she could not resist.

But at the same time, it also made her feel the desire deep in her blood.

This is a dilemma: to gain power, one must endure the torment of desire.

"The more a prey that falls into a spider's web struggles, the faster it will sink..."

Wu Tian was not in a hurry. Since condensing the Sun and Moon Heavenly Wheel, his cultivation had increased at an extremely rapid rate, and his six intermediate-level talents were constantly transforming and growing.

If he could become a demon, it would greatly benefit his cultivation at the Great Demon and Demon King stages.

But for him now, having the sun, moon, and celestial wheel is more than enough.

"Second Miss, how much longer can you hold on?"

Wu Tian's eyes were calm and indifferent. Perhaps because he had been a demon for a long time, the human emotions and reverence for rules and etiquette in his bones had become increasingly weak.

Demons and monsters live in the primeval jungle where the strong prey on the weak and fight for survival.

The vast majority of demons are inherently filled with indifference and cruelty towards life.

To achieve one's goal, any means necessary is the instinct of a predator.

……

For the next month, Lu Nanxi was caught in a cycle of contradictions.

During the day, she had to face Lu Jiuchuan's increasingly blatant oppression.

This eldest brother began to frequently invite her to dinner, to patrol together, and even to her courtyard while she was bathing, under the guise of "cultivating feelings."

Meanwhile, the guards brought by Lu Jiuchuan began to openly monitor her every move.

Whenever she went out, someone would always follow her from a distance; whenever she talked to anyone, a detailed report would soon be presented to Lu Jiuchuan's desk.

The cultivators in the mountain city gradually understood the direction of the wind.

Those who were once respectful to Lu Nanxi began to distance themselves from her; those who had received her favors chose to protect themselves; and even a few managers she had personally promoted took the initiative to surrender to Lu Jiuchuan, offering up all the accounts and personnel lists she had kept in Shancheng during this period.

Lu Nanxi became an isolated island.

Wu Tian observed Lu Nanxi's changes every day.

She looked noticeably haggard over the past month, but her aloof and elegant demeanor only became more prominent.

She wore different dresses every day, but none of them could hide her stunning figure. Her high breasts, slender waist, and rounded hips accentuated her alluring curves, no matter what she wore.

Her face was still exquisite, but there was always a hint of fatigue and melancholy between her brows.

Wu Tian could sense that Lu Nanxi was under increasing pressure and was nearing her limit.

Nighttime became her only chance to catch her breath.

When the night was deep and quiet, she would close the door, set up a simple soundproof barrier, and then engage in "limited" dual cultivation with Wu Tian.

While it's called dual cultivation, it's actually more about bloodline resonance assisting in cultivation.

She would hold Wu Tian in her arms, their bodies pressed together, and then circulate the "Double Wheel of Cursed Fire Ascension Technique," using the resonance of their bloodlines to accelerate their cultivation.

This approach resonates more deeply than before.

Lu Nanxi could clearly feel that with each resonance, her cultivation level was steadily increasing.

In just one month, her progress on the eighth level of "The True Explanation of the Heavenly Blaze" grew at an astonishing speed.

If this continues, she will be able to fully cultivate the eighth level, which originally required ten years to complete, in just a few months.

What surprised her even more was that the bloodline resonance seemed to be improving her physique and bloodline.

The fire toxins and heat that had accumulated in his body due to long-term practice of fire magic were slowly dissolved during the resonance process; his skin became more radiant, his eyes brighter, and even his hair became smoother and shinier.

But the price is... the growth of desire.

Each time the resonance reaches its deepest point, a feeling of heat and emptiness deep within the blood surges forth.

At first, she could suppress it with willpower, but as time went on, it became increasingly difficult to suppress.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, she would dream that she had turned into a ball of flame and was swallowed whole by a vicious dog engulfed in flames.

The vicious dog devoured her whole, skin and bones, but the feeling of being torn apart and ripped apart drove her mad and obsessed.

When Lu Nanxi woke up, she was drenched in sweat and her heart was pounding. Looking at Wu Tian sleeping soundly beside her, she felt a mix of emotions.

She knew she was sliding towards a dangerous edge. (End of Chapter)
