Borrowing a sword

Chapter 365 Cultivating both spiritual practice and immortality

Chu Huaixu began to feel disgusted.

The joy of gaining a clone earlier vanished almost entirely.

"He's so fragile! He's so incredibly fragile!"

"Not only is he fragile, but he also has a low pain threshold."

He still preferred his powerful physique, which he had acquired through body tempering.

"I knew it! Body tempering is the best!"

He felt it was necessary to set the record straight for the term "vulgar physical cultivation"!
Although he was struck by Nangong Yue's palm, he was completely unharmed and simply withstood it, demonstrating the masculine spirit of the Chu family.

On the other hand, what about the clones?
The screams were so pitiful!
"What a sissy!" Chu Huaixu even started to despise himself.

He simply cut off control of the clone.

The body immediately went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Overall, Chu Huaixu felt that the external avatar was just a humanoid toy that could be directly controlled with one's thoughts.

Nangong Yue didn't care about the fear of pain.

After all, in her mind, this was just common sense.

A guy like Chu Huaixu, who is fleshy, fearless, and unaware of fear, is truly an anomaly among anomalies.

She stood aside, marveling, and said, "It seems that some of the secret techniques of Kunlun Grotto Heaven do have their merits."

Given the vastly different perspectives of the people involved, to say something like that is already extremely high praise.

Wen Shiyu listened from the side, feeling a little smug.

In her mind, the cultivation system was naturally superior to the cultivation system of the Xuanhuang Realm.

She immediately picked up the conversation, echoing:
"In fact, many cultivators create external avatars so that they can use certain supernatural abilities in conjunction with them."

"For example, a two-person formation, or some spells that require multiple people to activate."

"The ability to create clones has countless ingenious uses."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chu Huaixu give her a cold glance and say:
"Did I let you speak?"

Wen Shiyu immediately shut up.

Chu Huaixu snorted coldly, feeling that this lowly maid still had room for improvement.

I used to think she was sensible enough and had already consciously become like me.

In his view, the wonderful uses that Wen Shiyu mentioned were irrelevant to him and were things he couldn't do.

Then what are you talking about? Why bother?

Chu Huaixu wasn't stupid; he could hear the arrogance in her voice.

But he never thought that cultivators were anything special.

"After all, if you were truly so remarkable, Ye Kongxuan's physical body wouldn't have been refined into an incarnation by me, and you wouldn't be here serving as my slave."

After chatting with Nangong Yue for a few more minutes, Chu Huaixu took Wen Shiyu back to his residence.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang was cooking, while Xu Ziqing was helping her.

Although everyone's cultivation level and status in the sect have been rising steadily, the family of three still enjoys the everyday life they used to have.

For the three of them, home was once a luxury.

"You're back." Han Shuangjiang looked up at him.

Then she was stunned for a moment.

"How many realms have you broken through this time?" The girl, who had a strong dog-like personality, couldn't help but ask, feeling immense pressure.

"Not many levels." Chu Huaixu cupped his hands and said, "I am but a cultivator at the seventh level of the fourth realm. I am not very talented."

The big ice cube couldn't help but purse its lips tightly.

Xiao Xu stood to the side with his mouth agape, then exclaimed in a daze, "Senior brother, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shiyu glanced at him sideways, thinking to himself, "This is my formidable rival!"

He was clearly flattering someone, so why did he say it with such innocent and naive honesty?

That sounds so damn sincere.

Therefore, she immediately added, "Moreover, Master broke through several realms in just a few breaths."

Han Shuangjiang raised her eyes, glanced briefly at Wen Shiyu, and then stopped looking at her, continuing to cook with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

This meal was eaten by a family of three sitting down.

Wen Shiyu could only stand aside and wait.

Chu Huaixu heard that those in the Foundation Establishment stage could already completely abstain from grains.

That's fine, I wasn't planning on letting her sit at the table anyway.

As long as they don't starve to death, that's fine.

After the meal, with an extra maid in the house, it was no longer Xiao Xu's turn to wash the dishes.

Xiao Xu's functionality has been greatly reduced again, and her role in the family has been reduced by at least half!
Wen Shiyu never expected that he, who was once a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, would now be reduced to washing dishes for others.

Han Shuangjiang glanced at Chu Huaixu and said, "Come with me for a moment."

Then she went straight to her room.

Chu Huaixu watched the girl's swaying back as she strode away, a playful smile appearing on his face. He had already guessed what was going on.

After entering the room, Han Shuangjiang set up a sound-blocking array.

Immediately afterwards, she said to Chu Huaixu, "The night we returned to the sect, she stayed in your room?"

Things turned out exactly as Chu Huaixu had predicted.

"I wouldn't say they stayed in my room, but they were definitely in my room."

"After all, she was still a corpse when she returned to the sect."

"It was my intervention that brought her back to her physical body." "That night, I wasn't entirely at ease with her, so I decided to keep her around to observe her further and let her stay overnight."

Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang simply replied softly, "Oh."

"Are you angry? Do you think I did something wrong?" Chu Huaixu smiled as he approached her, then bent down and took her small hand.

"No," the large ice block said.

She understood Chu Huaixu's actions.

The reason she felt some emotion was simply because, with her "double degree" from both the Red Sleeve Pavilion and the Joyful Sect, how could she not smell the seductive scent emanating from Wen Shiyu?
Her eager manner was just like that of some of the women in the Red Sleeve Pavilion who wanted to befriend high-ranking officials and nobles.

It was precisely because she realized this that she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Chu Huaixu gently stroked her small hand with his thumb and said with a smile, "Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

"How about this, let her stay there temporarily, and I'll move in."

The cunning fox's scheme surprised even the giant ice block.

"No!" she exclaimed.

"Why not? You and I are Daoist partners." Chu Huaixu said matter-of-factly.

"Anyway...anyway, it won't work," Han Shuangjiang said.

Finally, fearing that Chu Huaixu would be unhappy, she added, "Wait until we both reach the fifth realm."

When a man and a woman are alone together in a room, it's inevitable that things will get heated.

Even if you endure it, isn't that still agonizing?
We can't always do what we did the night before heading to the Origin Spirit Realm, where I use... or something to help him, can we?

Chu Huaixu was delighted upon hearing this.

"It probably won't take me long to reach the Fifth Realm."

"But your Yin-type physique has been thoroughly surpassed by me!"

The big ice block's curling dog-like nature immediately kicked in.

"Don't be so smug, I'll catch up soon," she said with a cold expression and a furrowed brow.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Huaixu kissed him.

The two of them were staying in the room, and they had even set up a sound-blocking array in advance. If they didn't do something, wouldn't it be a waste of their time?
We need to cherish this moment!
After an incense stick had burned for a while, Chu Huaixu finally came out of the house, satisfied.

He didn't go too far today, knowing that things were different from that night.

Therefore, I'll stop here after a brief taste!

After returning to his and Xiao Xu's room, he took a futon from inside and threw it into the storage room. Then he said to Wen Shiyu, "You'll live here from now on."

Wen Shiyu: "."

There weren't even beds, let alone tables and chairs.

They just threw in a prayer mat, what kind of nonsense is this!
It was obvious that Xiao Xu had initially joined this small family as a menial servant, but Chu Huaixu treated him very differently.

No wonder Xu Ziqing was so deeply moved back then.

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something, and I'd like to ask you about it now," Chu Huaixu said.

“Master, please speak.” Wen Shiyu immediately bowed his head respectfully.

"Let me ask you, in your understanding, is it possible to cultivate immortality and practice cultivation at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shiyu replied without hesitation, "Impossible."

“Master, the cultivation system of Kunlun Grotto Heaven is completely incompatible with the cultivation system of Xuanhuang Realm.”

"Moreover, we rely on spiritual roots, while the Xuanhuang Realm is a spiritual embryo; the two cannot coexist."

"So, you think no one can do it?" Chu Huaixu stared into her eyes.

“Absolutely not,” Wen Shiyu replied.

Chu Huaixu pressed on, "Have you and your fellow disciples, or the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, discussed this issue?"

"It has happened before."

"What did they say?"

"They share the same idea as Shiyu, and the eldest brother thinks so too."

Wen Shiyu continued, "Some of the inherent conditions are simply not met. Moreover, the two systems are too different. If they cultivate together, going into qi deviation is considered mild; the only possible outcome is body explosion."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded slightly.

Wen Shiyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, if I may be so bold as to ask, is it because you have already achieved the status of Immortal Venerable that you wish to try cultivating immortality?"

"I don't have that idea for now," Chu Huaixu replied.

He wouldn't risk his life by being a guinea pig.

He simply remembered the leader of the Black Moon Cult!
"But what if I told you that there are people in this world who have achieved the same level of cultivation, and even reached the eighth realm plus the Nascent Soul stage?" Chu Huaixu stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Wen Shiyu's pupils tremble slightly, her eyes filled with shock and emotion.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, and guessing that she wouldn't dare to fake it, Chu Huaixu said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

In his heart, he already knew the answer.

Wen Shiyu was born into the Kunlun Holy Sect and had many fellow disciples of the Multi-Infant True Lord.

If everyone thinks it won't work, then we can basically arrive at one answer—the Nascent Soul stage thinks it won't work.

Yes, it can only be determined that the Nascent Soul stage is not suitable!

People from different social classes have completely different perceptions.

This is the only conclusion that can be reached at present.

If the Nascent Soul stage isn't feasible, what about the Deity Transformation stage?

Is it possible to achieve this at the Nascent Soul stage?
"Then, is the leader of the Black Moon Sect related to the Immortal Venerable of the Divine Transformation?" Chu Huaixu wondered.
