Dark Immortal Cultivation

Zhang Qing had another dream.

His dream was hazy and chaotic; his consciousness was like crumpled cotton, so sluggish that he couldn't muster any strength, or like a lone boat without oars or rudder, drifting aimlessly in a boundless ocean.

But the waves were unusual; though vast and turbulent, they carried an indescribable gentleness, lifting him up time and time again.

But this led him to gradually become addicted.

The familiar fragrance of orchids and musk lingered around Zhang Qing, seeping into his limbs and bones as if it were a tangible thing, warm and extremely comfortable.

His tense mind completely relaxed, and he unknowingly fell into this gentle embrace.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint and pure fragrance quietly drifted in, like morning dew in the mountains or plum blossoms under the moon, gently dispelling some of the drowsiness.

Zhang Qing tried his best to open his heavy eyelids.

But my eyelids felt like they were filled with lead. No matter how hard I tried, I could only feel a faint glimmer of light and couldn't even open my eyes wide.

The next moment, he fell into another dream.

This time, Zhang Qing transformed into a silver-armored knight, riding a magnificent, snow-white steed, galloping freely across the boundless green grasslands.

The wind whistled in his ears, whipping up his clothes, and the horse's hooves trod across the grass, splashing up tiny blades of grass and morning dew.

Even though I was sweating profusely and my clothes were soaked through, I felt no fatigue at all, only an indescribable excitement and exhilaration.

It was as if he wanted to unleash all his strength into the world!

The dream twisted and changed once again.

A series of beautiful and charming faces flashed past him.

Some of them had familiar features, as if we had crossed paths before; some were complete strangers, yet a strange sense of familiarity arose within them; and others were vaguely recognizable, yet I couldn't quite place where I had seen them before…

The image that finally lingered in my mind was Xu Niangzi's pretty face!

Zhang Qing's heart tightened, and a surge of doubt and resentment welled up inside him.

But he was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Consciousness, like a kite with a broken string, plunges once more into boundless darkness, unaware of how time flows!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Qing slowly broke free from the chaos, and his consciousness gradually returned.

He found himself lying in bed.

My own bed!

Immediately afterwards, a sharp headache struck, as if countless steel needles were churning inside his skull, causing Zhang Qing to groan in pain.

Not only that, at this moment, his whole body was sore and weak, as if all his blood and strength had been drained away. His muscles and bones were sore, numb and swollen, and he couldn't even lift his hand.

My mind was completely blank; I was in a daze and almost collapsed.

After lying quietly for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until the weakness in his body gradually subsided, Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and struggled to sit up.

Memories of last night flooded my mind like a tidal wave!

He thought he was going to die.

result……

Zhang Qing subconsciously raised his hand and touched his body, checking himself from head to toe, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little.

The kidneys are still there.

But his clothes had been changed.

The storage bag is missing.

The next moment, Zhang Qing saw the storage bag hanging on the headboard.

And two goldfish bags!

This goldfish bag looks familiar.

Zhang Qing rubbed his eyes, then grabbed a goldfish-shaped pouch with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

He opened the red string at the top of the bag and poured out two pieces of the shards.

Fragments of ruins!

They're exactly the same!

Past memories suddenly overwhelmed Zhang Qing.

He couldn't believe it and quickly took off the second goldfish bag.

This time, three fragments of the ruins were poured out!

Zhang Qing was stunned.

He was startled and quickly opened the data panel.

Physical Strength: 0.7

[Soul: 2.4]

Martial Arts Skill: 0.3

[Spellcast: 2.2]

[Powerful: 0.0]

Everything can be enhanced.

Zhang Qing's eyes widened in surprise—his [Physical] attribute had dropped by 0.5!

But [Spiritual Essence] increased by 0.2!

No way?

This wasn't the first time Zhang Qing had lost his [physical strength] and gained his [spirit], but at this moment he felt it was utterly absurd.

Hehuan Gate!

Zhang Qing never dreamed that Madam Xu was also a member of the Hehuan Sect, and that she would ruthlessly harm him.

If it was a mutually agreeable transaction back then...

Now it's like taking advantage of someone without asking, a forced and domineering act!

As the one being sexually assaulted, Zhang Qing was very unhappy.

But stay calm!

Having had a similar experience, Zhang Qing quickly suppressed his frustration.

What's done is done.

Regret won't change anything, and besides...

He may not actually have suffered a loss!

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qing took his storage bag.

He habitually checked the items stored inside and found that not only were none missing, but two more items had been added.

A white jade bottle, and a letter!

Zhang Qing was certain that these two items were definitely not his.

He immediately took out the letter.

A familiar, subtle fragrance instantly entered my nose.

Zhang Qing's eyes twitched as he opened the letter.

His intuition told him that the truth he was looking for was inside!

However, after reading the letter, Zhang Qing realized that he was still naive.

The letter was written by Madam Xu.

The beautiful woman gently told him that last night was just a little joke, and that she and Ye Fengchun had no ill intentions towards Zhang Qing.

The five fragments of the ruins and a top-grade Qi-strengthening pill were parting gifts left for him.

For some reason, the couple decided to leave Qing'anji and settle in another fairy city.

I doubt I'll ever come back.

It was fate that brought us together; let us not grieve for each other's passing!

Superior-grade Vitality-Boosting Pill!!

Zhang Qing was completely speechless.

After a long while, he activated his magic and burned the letter in his hand to ashes.

Then he took out the jade bottle containing the elixir.

Pour out the Vitality Pill and swallow it in one gulp!

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.

I wonder how many points of my [Physical] attribute this Vitality Pill will restore.

I hope there will be more...

While Zhang Qing was fully focused on refining the power of the elixir, a plain-looking carriage was slowly making its way forward along a mountain road a hundred miles away from Qing'an Village, mixed in with a long procession.

Inside the carriage, Madam Xu nestled in Ye Fengchun's arms, her beautiful face glowing with a captivating radiance.

She suddenly chuckled and asked, "Husband, is my little brother almost awake?"

Ye Fengchun lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek, smiling as he said, "Hmm, she should be awake by now."

The refined monk's eyes shimmered, revealing a touch of alluring charm.

Her originally thin face suddenly looked much younger!

His appearance has changed too.

"Little brother, you're pretty good."

Xu Niangzi nuzzled her head against Ye Fengchun's chest, and Dingxiang licked her red lips with her tongue, as if savoring something.

She closed her eyes and murmured, "What a pity."

"yes."

Ye Fengchun sighed, "I originally intended to stay a few more days, but I didn't expect to give myself away. Otherwise..."

He shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Madam Xu held Ye Fengchun's hand, while gently pressing her other hand on her lower abdomen.

"I hope it works out."

The next moment, three fluffy fox tail phantoms flashed past in the carriage!
