Chapter 63: The Nine Transformations of the Stars (Seeking monthly votes!)

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 1: 9 (1/9000)】

Characteristics: Refines the divine soul, gathers the seven spirits, develops mental power, forms a soul seed, and creates an indestructible soul.

The final stage of cultivation is the process of nurturing the 'Undying Black Lotus Soul' from the Black Lotus Soul Seed.

Once the 'Black Lotus Undying Soul' is born, one can then plan to ignite the soul fire and officially enter the second-tier Burning Lamp Realm.

After that, one only needs to meditate for fifteen minutes each day, nourishing the Black Lotus Soul Seed with sufficient spiritual power. The required spiritual power varies depending on individual cultivation needs. This step can generally be completed in between one hundred days and one year.

Therefore, the final process of nurturing the soul is also called 'Hundred Days of Soul Nurturing' or 'Hundred Days of Foundation Building'.

According to the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World", each person's "Black Lotus Undying Soul" has some unique abilities.

"I wonder what abilities my Black Lotus Undying Soul will have?"

This cannot be rushed.

So, they left the pass.

All told, Li Chunfeng has been on the path of cultivation for nearly half a year.

He was very satisfied with the upgrade speed.

He cultivated almost frantically during this period, which was also the longest period of seclusion and arduous cultivation he had experienced since embarking on the path of cultivation.

He almost shut himself off, focusing all his energy on improving himself.

Although the results were good, I was constantly in a state of tension and fatigue, so it was time to take a break.

So he took out the spirit wine that Uncle Song had given him, preparing to have a small drink.

Calling Lu Yun'er.

Lu Yun'er just lost another game.

As her ranking improved, the opponents she was matched with became increasingly stronger. Today was truly an unlucky day; she had encountered a series of formidable enemies, and she had never suffered such a losing streak since entering Yuan City.

Just as I was feeling down, I received a message from Li Chunfeng.

"You're buying me a drink...really? We haven't even met in the real world yet."

Her little head was full of question marks. After meeting him, she leaned close to Li Chunfeng, staring intently into his eyes as if trying to see through him. "Has this blockhead finally seen the light, or is there another motive? Tell me honestly, what are you really up to?"

Li Chunfeng rolled his eyes. "I'm just in a good mood and want to have a drink. If you don't want to drink, I'll drink alone."

The girl was full of suspicion but couldn't find any other reason. "You're trying to get me drunk with wine but no food? Wait for me~"

With that, he left Yuan City through the teleportation portal.

A moment later, while Li Chunfeng was bored, he received an invitation.

Your friend Lu Yun'er has invited you to enter her private space.

The portal to the private stone house now offers another option.

Li Chunfeng stepped inside and found himself in a cozy house.

"Is this your stone house?"

The room was filled with an indescribable fragrance, and everywhere you looked were girly things: cushions, large stuffed animals, a sofa, a pink bed, various decorations, and the walls were painted a light pink.

His simple stone hut had always been used for cultivation; a futon was enough. Compared to this place, it was a completely different story.

There were no outsiders here, so the two of them removed their disguises.

Li Chunfeng was unremarkable, but the young man had grown taller in the past six months, reaching over 1.9 meters. He was a tall, thin bamboo pole with nothing particularly special about him, except for his calm, deep eyes, which gave him a unique air.

The girl changed into a set of loungewear. It was unclear what material the clothes were made of, but they were soft, light, and had a faint fragrance, which perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

For the first time, Li Chunfeng felt like his eyes had nowhere to land, while Lu Yun'er revealed a sly smile in her eyes.

"Clang, clang, clang! Look at this feast! This is a grand banquet ordered by Fanlou Restaurant in Xingyue City. Li Chunfeng, you are the first person to enter my stone house. Aren't you honored?"

"my pleasure."

Li Chunfeng smiled and took out the spirit wine.

It seems this jar of spirit wine will be used up here today.

Lu Yun'er rarely had the chance to drink alcohol; her mother was very strict with her. She had only ever tried drinking with Li Chunfeng. After taking a small sip, she immediately hissed and stuck out her pink tongue, as if she were some kind of cunning white snake spirit.

"It's so spicy, it doesn't taste good at all."

"If you don't like it, don't drink it."

"...Dream on! I provided the snacks, but I'm going to drink anyway." Typical example of someone who's both picky and greedy.

After several rounds of drinks, most of the dishes on the table ended up in Li Chunfeng's stomach.

Lu Yun'er's face was flushed from drinking, and she looked charming and innocent, leaning half of her body on Li Chunfeng's shoulder.

Li Chunfeng glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't pretend to be drunk."

"Hmph! Li Chunfeng, when are you finally going to start climbing the rankings?"

"No rush," Li Chunfeng continued to leisurely sip his drink.

"Why aren't you in a hurry? I don't believe you're not tempted by the rewards for being in the top ten of the Robbery Ranking."

Li Chunfeng calmly said, "What's the rush? The day I emerge from the mountain will be the day I rise to the top of the leaderboard with a winning streak."

"boast!"

Although Lu Yun'er verbally teased him, she was secretly looking forward to it.

She was probably the only person in the entire Yuancheng who truly understood Li Chunfeng's strength.

"Li Chunfeng, shall we have another fight?"

Li Chunfeng glanced at her sideways, "Who said that if you fight me again, you're a dog?"

"Woof woof~ woof woof woof~"

The shameless girl approached him, barked at him like a dog, and, fueled by alcohol, grabbed his arm and bit it.

"Hiss, you're a real dog."

Li Chunfeng withdrew his arm, revealing a pair of fine teeth marks.

Lu Yun'er shamelessly licked her lips with her pink tongue. This time, she deliberately threw her face to the ground and then stepped on it herself, without feeling any shame whatsoever.

Li Chunfeng: "..."

If her fans knew that their goddess was actually like this in her daily life, they would probably be shocked.

The girl said smugly, "Come on, come on, you're not afraid of losing, are you?"

"I was just brutally crushed by the demon 'Nine-Headed Lion' Yuan Sheng, using only my physical strength—a single blow that could break through all obstacles. Even my 'Sunrise Blade' could withstand it, unable to inflict much damage. I refuse to accept this. It's just relying on a high-level demon skin magic weapon; what's so great about that? This time, let's fight only using martial arts techniques. Do you dare?"

—The tactic of provocation.

It turned out to be waiting for me here.

Li Chunfeng had witnessed Yuan Sheng's battles. Most demons specialized in physical cultivation, following the path of using strength to overcome all laws, and Yuan Sheng was a typical example of this.

He possesses the bloodline of the Golden Nine-Headed Lion, has an extremely powerful physique, and is also highly regenerative. He also has a powerful sonic lion roar technique.

Since Lu Yun'er was brutally beaten, it proves that Yuan Sheng didn't use his full strength at all.

Li Chunfeng glanced at the information on the tattered jade disc:
【Bull Demon's Mighty Fist: Perfected Trait, Bull Demon's Power】

[Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist: Level 9 (4567/9000)]

【Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture - Second Level: Level 8 (1888/8000)】

Characteristics: Martial arts body tempering, demonic embryo nourishing the mind. Chaotic Ancient Axe Technique: First move, Chaotic Ancient Guillotine!
If you also learn 'Instant Step' and 'Mirror Image', then you still have a fighting chance.

Lu Yun'er's martial arts cultivation has reached the Refining Organs Realm; fighting her is simply asking for trouble.

Li wouldn't do something like that.

"I'm about to undergo my second tribulation, and I must have a fight with you before I do." Lu Yun'er's eyes were firm.

"……bring it on."

Li Chunfeng sighed, not wanting to embarrass the young girl too much.

"Hehe~"

Lu Yun'er's expression vanished in an instant, her fingers cracking as she clenched them, her doe-like eyes filled with mischievous amusement, probably fantasizing about beating up Li Chunfeng in a moment.

The Sword Debate Platform.

Random map, desert.

Lu Yun'er, clad in a form-fitting suit of armor and wielding a long spear, exuded a heroic and imposing aura under the sunlight. "Li Chunfeng, I know all your tricks, but your understanding of me only dates back a few months. This time, you are destined to lose."

Li Chunfeng wielded the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe, his tall stature perfectly complementing the axe's cool design.

Even though his face still looks young, the presence of the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe adds a touch of domineering aura to his appearance.

"Not always."

He slowly crouched down, maintaining a fighting stance, his gaze fixed on his opponent's eyes. He did not attack rashly, seeking neither merit nor fault.

"coming!"

With a delicate shout, Lu Yun'er brandished her spear, her movements steady and graceful, with subtle starlight emanating from it, like a Valkyrie descending from the heavens. Her feet treaded lightly, yet despite being on flat ground, she possessed the imposing presence of someone charging on a towering steed, as if a mountain before her was about to crumble!

"This is a set of mounted combat spear techniques."

Li Chunfeng knew that her demonic pet was a five-colored deer, and that she had obviously learned from fighting alongside her demonic pet.

Given her superior physique, Li Chunfeng could be killed instantly by her with a single shot if he is not careful.

Faced with pressure, Li Chunfeng and the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe became one, as if they were connected by flesh and blood.

'The Demon Tiger Descends the Mountain'.

They strode forward with great strides.

Thirty steps.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps.

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed.

"The Chaotic Ancient Guillotine!"

"Nine Transformations of the Stars Spear - Scorpion Transformation!"

Both sides unleashed their ultimate attacks from the outset. A jet-black, chaotic ancient axe-like energy and a star-like spear-like light collided with a deafening roar, blasting a deep crater into the earth and sending sandstorms several meters high into the air. It was as if two armored, savage beasts were launching their most powerful attack.

Lu Yun'er's expression hardened, and in that instant, she almost lost control of her surging blood.

"There's something fishy about this axe strike."

Clearly, she underestimated the power of Li Chunfeng's axe.

Fortunately, her "Nine Transformations of the Stars" is also a famous martial arts technique. By circulating her qi and blood throughout her body, she immediately stabilized the disorder.

Both men fought with incredible speed, and wherever they went, dust billowed and roared.

In this battle, Li Chunfeng used all his strength.

I tried my best not to fall behind, but the difference in our levels of understanding was too great.

The Refining Organs Realm is already a minor grandmaster level; the skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs have all been tempered, and the Physical Body Realm is close to perfection. The entire body no longer fights alone; each part of the body can provide support for one's martial arts moves, relying on each other.

Lu Yun'er's ability to reach the Refining Organs Realm at such a young age is the result of countless days and nights of hard work and the expenditure of enormous resources. Li Chunfeng, on the other hand, started too late and fell far behind.

In addition, he was not a genius in the path of martial arts body training, and he did not have a natural physique.

Lu Yun'er's Deer Cry Physique is not only manifested in her communication with her demon pets, but also in her exceptional talent for martial arts and body tempering. She holds an absolute advantage in strength, physique, speed, and even stamina.

It was only a matter of time before Li Chunfeng was defeated.

To Lu Yun'er's surprise, Li Chunfeng was able to hold out for so long. Even when he was finally shot and blasted away by the Demon Axe, it was only because he was exhausted, not because he was truly defeated by her marksmanship.

but……

who cares.

"I won, haha!"
