Chapter 92 Yao'er, Helping Your Husband Cultivate (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)

As soon as Li Shizhou stepped out of his secluded cultivation room, he saw his Daoist partner Yuan Yao sitting cross-legged not far away.

Having weathered many storms, Yuan Yao is noticeably more composed than Zhuo Ruting.

She didn't show excessive excitement when she saw him come out. Instead, she smiled faintly, got up and walked over, gently taking his arm.

Li Shizhou pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Yao'er, are you tired? Thank you for protecting me all this time."

Yuan Yao rested her head on his shoulder and replied, "I'm not tired. Protecting my husband is my duty. There's no hardship involved. As long as my husband is safe, that's all that matters."

"Come on, have a few drinks with your husband, let's celebrate properly today."

Yuan Yao straightened up and answered, then she and Li Shizhou held hands tightly and walked side by side.

After a short while, the two were already intimately acquainted in the hot spring, where white steam was rising.

A brown wooden plate floats on the hot spring water, on which are placed two small white jade cups.

Li Shizhou took out a half-foot-tall wine bottle from a storage bag on the shore, and the cork was popped open with a bang.

Instantly, a rich aroma of wine wafted everywhere, invigorating anyone who smelled it, demonstrating that the spirit wine inside the bottle was extraordinary.

A moment later, the two white jade cups were filled, the spirit wine inside glowing with a faint blue light, while wisps of cold air emanated from them.

"Come on, Yao'er, let's have a drink first."

After Li Shizhou finished speaking, the two picked up the white jade cups, touched them lightly, and each drank them in one gulp.

The spirit wine was icy cold upon entering the mouth. After swallowing, Li Shizhou could clearly feel the chill slowly sliding down his esophagus to his stomach.

The initial icy sensation disappeared within a few breaths after the drink entered the stomach.

Instead, a continuous stream of warmth spread along his internal organs and meridians to his limbs and bones, finally rushing up his spine to his head.

After a short while, Li Shizhou felt completely relaxed, and it seemed as if his mind had been cleansed, with all the distracting thoughts in his heart being swept away.

When he came out of the Netherworld, there were quite a few spirit wines in his more than 1,200 storage bags.

The one we're drinking today is the most precious. It not only heals hidden injuries but also calms the mind and soothes the nerves. Moreover, it doesn't require any active refining; it has miraculous effects simply by being drunk.

I just don't know what the wine is called, and there are only three bottles in total.

Li Shizhou had only drunk one cup before, and had kept it treasured in his storage bag.

Yuan Yao's cultivation was inferior to his, and she was still enjoying the shock brought by the spiritual wine with her eyes closed.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she parted her red lips slightly and exhaled.

Then she opened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise, "Husband, this wine must be very expensive. I feel so relaxed after drinking it."

Li Shizhou replied, "I found it in the Netherworld. If you like it, we can continue drinking later. The path of cultivation is long and arduous, so you must not slack off. You still need to practice that secret technique diligently. Yao'er, let's cultivate together."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao glared at Li Shizhou and gently pinched his arm with her slender fingers.

Then her body was tightly wrapped around a pair of strong arms.

I don't know how much time passed.

Yuan Yao, her cheeks slightly flushed, rested her head on Li Shizhou's chest, her eyes still slightly dazed.

After a short while, she looked up and said, "Husband, Yao'er has always been curious, how old are you now?"

Li Shizhou replied, "My husband was exactly two hundred years old at the time."

Yuan Yao was shocked when she heard this and said, "My husband is only a few decades older than me, and he has already formed a Nascent Soul. If that's the case, it's not impossible for him to advance to the Deity Transformation stage in the future."

Li Shizhou shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, if you encounter a bottleneck, your cultivation will not advance for a hundred years, let alone break through to the Deity Transformation stage. The entire Chaotic Star Sea human race currently has no Deity Transformation cultivators and only four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."

His statement was true and not an act of modesty.

Leaving aside bottlenecks and such, let's take pills that enhance cultivation as an example.

Previously in Tianxing City, pills for the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages could be bought anytime with spirit stones.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, elixirs are not so easy to obtain.

Even in places like the Chaotic Star Sea, where there are many demon cores, these kinds of pills are mostly bartered.

Moreover, this is especially true in places like the far west and the far south where resources for cultivation are scarce.

Without elixirs, even though his aptitude was improved by the Blood Spirit Fruit and the Heaven-Mending Pill, he could still be considered to have made a smooth path to immortality by relying solely on his own hard work to reach the late Nascent Soul stage.

There is a high possibility that the ancient sect's treasure vault contains pills that can enhance the Nascent Soul cultivation level, but he is not currently in the Chaotic Star Sea, so he can only discuss it later.

In addition, the spiritual energy in this cave is somewhat insufficient for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and over time it will slow down their cultivation speed.

We still need to carefully plan our future path.

The Luoyun Sect, a sect skilled in refining elixirs, would be a rather ideal place to go.

The Yunmeng Mountains, where this sect is located, are a famous blessed land for immortals in the Tiannan cultivation world. Now, they are jointly occupied by three sects, who are both cooperating and competing with each other.

The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Luoyun Sect are currently at the bottom in strength, one with a short lifespan and the other who has only recently advanced and is not good at combat.

Given Su Wanhe's connection, Li Shizhou would most likely succeed if he went to seek refuge with her.

However, there are two things that need to be done before we go.

Firstly, one must go to the secret chamber of the Thousand Bamboo Sect to rescue the "Great Evolution Divine Lord," who is on the verge of losing his soul, and thereby obtain the "Great Evolution Technique" for the last three levels.

Secondly, some of the pills that Li Shizhou brought out from the Netherworld can enhance the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators. It is best to refine them before setting off, since every bit of improvement in strength is valuable.

Thinking about all this, Li Shizhou couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

He stayed in Yuan Yao's stone chamber for one night and left his secluded place the next morning.

Li Shizhou activated his full speed all the way, transforming into a black rainbow, and appeared on the vast sea near the far west in less than half a cup of tea's time.

The rainbow swept across the sea, and the originally calm sea was suddenly stirred up into waves three or four meters high.

On an island a hundred miles away, a low-level bovine-shaped herbivorous monster was foraging for food. It opened its huge mouth, as big as a washbasin, and was biting at the berries on the fruit tree in front of it.

Suddenly, a black light flashed, and the bull demon was swept away by the gale stirred up by the black light, its huge body was instantly blown several feet away.

It wasn't injured, and standing up with a bewildered look on its face, it frantically ran towards the cave where it was hiding.

After flying for a while, Li Shizhou showed a satisfied expression and stopped not far from a lifeless rocky island.

He thought to himself, "Putting aside combat strength, this speed alone would make it very difficult for even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to catch me."

He came out today to test the supernatural powers he possessed after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, so as to have a general understanding of his own strength.

His speed was the key to his success in the cultivation world; after all, even if he couldn't win, his life wouldn't be in danger easily, so this was the first test.
