Filial piety: the supreme emperor

Lu Ran and Aunt Rong walked side by side, climbing up the bluestone steps step by step to the top of the back cliff.

Qu Qirong's eyes fell on a few quiet caves and she asked curiously, "Is this where Ran'er is in seclusion?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "The spiritual energy here at the back cliff is more concentrated. People who practice long-term retreat usually choose this place."

"Shishi was punished by her master to face the wall in this place."

While taking Aunt Rong to appreciate the scenery of the back mountain, he told her interesting stories over the years, including those between him and Li Shishi, and between him and his master Ning Qian.

Qu Qirong didn't say anything, but just smiled and listened quietly.

She wanted to know everything about her family's Raner, including, of course, all the big and small things that had happened in the past sixteen years.

After a long time, when Qu Qirong heard that Li Shishi pretended to be sick in order to avoid cultivation when she was a child, and was discovered and punished by Ning Qian to face the wall, she couldn't help laughing: "Did Shishi hate cultivation so much when she was a child?"

"It's not just when I was a kid, it's the same now." Lu Ran said helplessly, "But she is very talented. Even if she works hard for three days and rests for two days, her training speed is still very fast."

"Now she has reached the third level of the Divine Ability Realm, and her combat power is terrifying."

This was the first time he had encountered Li Shishi's situation.

Maybe this is the kind of lucky woman who just likes to be lazy.

Qu Qirong smiled sweetly: "Shishi seems to be very dependent on you."

"Maybe!" Lu Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about how he and Shishi had been both senior brothers and fathers over the years.

Because the master is the leader of Zixia Sect and needs to handle the sect's affairs, he accompanies Li Shishi most of the time.

Perhaps because of this, Li Shishi became more and more dependent on him.

Watching Lu Ran recounting his memories of these years with a faint smile on his face, Qu Qirong was filled with gratitude and thought silently, "No matter what, Ran'er's safe growth is all thanks to Ning Wan."

Thinking of the argument with Ning Qian just now, she couldn't help but frown.

Just as Ning Qian said, she treated Ran'er as her own child, both a master and a mother!

But for some reason, Qu Qirong always felt that there seemed to be more than just these two kinds of emotions.

Of course, this is just her intuition as a woman!

Thinking of this, Qu Qirong felt that she might have thought too much, so she subconsciously held her Jia Raner's hand.

Feeling the soft, boneless hand and the slightly cool fingertips, Lu Ran raised his head and looked at Aunt Rong.

Facing his gaze, Qu Qirong's beautiful face flushed slightly, and she said with her red lips slightly parted, "It's a bit high down here, let Ran'er hold Aunt Rong's hand, Aunt Rong will feel more at ease!"

"Aunt Rong, let's go down!"

Lu Ran smiled slightly, took her hand, and slowly walked down the stone steps.

As a younger generation, he would naturally not refuse such an act of filial piety.

"Hmm!" Qu Qirong enjoyed the closeness with her own Ran'er, and her heart beat faster.

Under the sunlight, the shadows of the two people gradually lengthened, and their hands holding together had become intertwined without them knowing when.

"Hiccup~"

Under the back cliff, the little fox lay comfortably on the spiritual field, stroking its round belly with its furry little paws, burping and showing a satisfied smile.

Next to it, the three little ones were also full and they felt an emotion called happiness.

They felt comfortable, but there were fewer spiritual objects in the spiritual fields.

Just then, the sunlight was blocked by two figures.

"嘤嘤!"

The little fox who was dozing with her eyes squinted waved her little paws, signaling the other party not to block her sunlight.

Lu Ran withdrew his gaze from the spiritual field, squatted down and asked meaningfully: "Yingying, tell me, where are the precious spiritual objects on my spiritual field?"

"Bing! (Shocked)"

When the familiar voice came, the little fox's petite body froze and it wanted to run away without thinking.

"Where are you going?"

Unfortunately, Lu Ran, who was familiar with the little guy's personality, had already grabbed its neck and asked with interest.

This spiritual field was opened up by him. The spiritual plants in it came from a secret realm and are extremely precious. They just happened to mature in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it matured, it was harvested by my own pet and its three little ones.

Lu Ran was both angry and amused!

"嘤嘤!"

The little fox's face was full of pity and grievance. He pointed his little paws at the three little ones and then at the spiritual field, as if he wanted to express something.

Lu Ran frowned: "You mean, they ate it, but you didn't?"

Will he believe such a lie?

"嘤嘤!"

The little fox shook his head to indicate that this was not what he meant, and then gestured a few more times.

Lu Ran understood now: "You mean, Hongxue, Moxue and Baizhi are guests, and as the host, you should entertain them well?"

"Oh!" The little fox nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Lu Ran was speechless!

The little fox he raised is very powerful now.

They actually destroyed his spiritual field under the pretext of being a good host.

Seeing the cute little fox, Qu Qirong couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Forget it, Ran'er, Yingying doesn't mean any harm."

"嘤嘤!"

Hearing this, the little fox called out to Qu Qirong obediently, looking coquettish and cute.

"There's nothing wrong with you entertaining your friends."

"But you have to remember to tell me in advance next time, understand?"

Lu Ran originally had no intention of blaming the greedy little creature. He just gave it a warning and let it go.

It’s okay in the sect, but if the little fox goes out and steals the spiritual objects in other people’s spiritual fields and is caught, it will be troublesome.

In order to prevent this from happening, he had to teach them a lesson first.

"Oh oh!" The little fox didn't know whether it understood or not, it just rubbed against Lu Ran's palm.

"Also, don't cause harm to those who are not mature yet, understand?"

Lu Ran rubbed her little head unhappily, then turned around and walked towards the residence with Aunt Rong.

Looking at the backs of the two people, the little fox lay down comfortably on the spiritual field again and continued to take a nap with his eyes closed.

After touring the residence and various buildings of Zixia Sect with Aunt Rong, we stayed there for a day.

It was not until the night fell the next day that Lu Ran said hello to his master, took his junior sister Li Shishi and the little fox Yingying who wanted to go out to find food, boarded Aunt Rong's magic ship, and flew to Qiankun Sect.

The six sects' martial arts fight was about to begin, and the great elder Xu Qing had already set out with several elders.

And because Qu Qirong represents Lingbao Pavilion and will also participate in this fight, they will go together.

"Why did Senior Brother enter the same room with Madam?"

At this moment, in the extremely spacious and luxurious Dharma boat, Li Shishi looked at Qing'er beside her with curiosity.

Qing'er sighed and said softly, "Madam has been cursed by a strange curse, and Mr. Lu is helping to remove it."

She sighed because the lady's fate was so tragic.

After finally getting rid of the insect poison that controlled the mind, who could have expected that there was a sleeping spell waiting!

Li Shishi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is!"

Just now she felt a little strange. Although the lady was her senior brother's elder, it was not appropriate for them to be in the same room.

Now after listening to Qing'er's words, she remembered what Lu Ran had told her before - to help an elder solve a problem.

Li Shishi, who had relaxed her guard, asked again, "Does Senior Brother do this every day?"

"It should be needed every other day."

"If it weren't for this, Madam might not even last half a year!"

Qing'er explained as she stroked the little fox who was closing his eyes and preparing to fall asleep.

Lian'er, who was standing next to him, gently touched Baizhi's plump body and whispered, "This curse is extremely sinister and overbearing. Even the Gu of the Gu Clan cannot compare to it."

"Fortunately, Mr. Lu has a way to slowly resolve it, otherwise..."

Li Shishi comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

She also didn't expect that her senior brother, this elder, would have so many disasters.

She used to regard him as a potential love rival, but now it seems that she was just worrying too much.

As the three women talked, the candlelight in the room flickered faintly.

Lu Ran merged the Chunsheng sword intent and Xia Chang sword intent, covering the area three inches below the dantian, to help Aunt Rong refine the Yang Sha in the sleeping seal.

Having learned from his previous lesson, he did not touch the previously sealed crack, but chose another corresponding crack.

In his arms, Qu Qirong's jade-like face was like a blooming peach blossom, her tender and tempting red lips kissed his lips, her jade-like arms were wrapped around her own Ran'er's neck, working with him to refine.

Perhaps it was the influence of Chunsheng's sword intent and Xiachang's sword intent that caused the slender jade legs wrapped in black ice silk stockings to tighten, and the perfect lotus feet to curl up. The ten delicate toes dyed with blue nail polish pulled the ends of the hazy socks that were as thin as a cicada's wing, and the collar of the gauze skirt was slightly opened at some point.

The soft, snow-white breasts supported two soft hills, swaying as the sword's power increased.

As the number of collaborations increased, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and could understand each other even without speaking.

Just like usual, refining the Yang Sha lasted for an hour.

The two slowly separated, both smiling.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "According to this progress, it may not take half a year to completely remove the sleeping curse."

Although each refining process takes one hour, the efficiency also depends on it.

Compared with before, the current refining efficiency has undoubtedly improved a lot.

"Won't it take half a year?"

Hearing this, Qu Qirong's expression was slightly complicated and she whispered softly.

It was indeed a happy thing to be able to completely refine the sleeping seal.

But when he thought that after the sleeping spell was lifted, he would no longer be able to be as close to Ran'er as he was now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable reluctance.

Noticing her strangeness, Lu Ran asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Rong?"

Qu Qirong shook her head: "It's nothing, I just remembered something and got distracted!"

Lu Ran stood up from the couch and said with a smile: "Aunt Rong, I'll go back first!"

Because of the refining of Yang Sha just now, Aunt Rong and he were sweating, and they would definitely need to take a shower soon.

There are differences between men and women, so how can it be appropriate for him to stay here?

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Lu Ran put on his shoes, Qu Qirong bit her red lips, seemed to have made a decision, and tried to persuade him to stay.

Lu Ran was a little confused: "Aunt Rong?"

Facing his gaze, Qu Qirong took a deep breath and said, "Ran'er, Aunt Rong wants to practice the "Extreme Yin Fusion Spirit Art"!"

After saying this, she felt her cheeks and ears getting hot, and it seemed as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

She also didn't understand why she couldn't make up her mind before but could now.

Perhaps it was because of this trip to Zixia Sect, or perhaps it was because of what Raner had just said.

Hearing this, Lu Ran froze in place.

He knew very well what it meant to practice the "Extreme Yin Rong Ling Jue".

According to the records in the book, to practice this dual cultivation method, one must be a Taoist couple.

According to Lu Ran's understanding, there are two types of dual cultivation techniques.

One is pure and the other is impure.

The former can do nothing, while the latter can do everything.

And according to the annotations of "Extreme Yin Rong Ling Jue", it is most likely the latter.

Of course, Lu Ran, whose main focus is filial piety, could not possibly refuse the request of his elders.

As his thoughts flowed, Lu Ran sat down and broke the silence: "Aunt Rong, can you show me the jade slip?"

He had not read the "Extreme Yin Rong Ling Jue" carefully before, but just glanced at the annotations.

"Hmm!" Qu Qirong felt her heart beating rapidly and hurriedly took out the jade slip from the ring.

Lu Ran took it and immersed himself in it.

After a moment, he frowned.

According to the first volume of the "Extreme Yin Rong Ling Jue", in order to practice this method, one must first refine a special spiritual liquid to prepare a medicinal bath.

In this process, two people are required to take off their clothes together and soak in the medicinal bath, and practice according to the operation method of "Extreme Yin Rong Ling Jue" to cultivate the two kinds of spiritual essences of extreme yin and extreme yang.

As for how long this situation will last, it depends on the understanding and luck of both parties.

Lu Ran was unable to access the following content.

Because he and Aunt Rong need to cultivate these two kinds of spiritual essence and inject them into the jade slip at the same time before they can open the next volume.

“It’s really complicated!”

Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh, and then told Aunt Rong the contents of the first volume.

"Aunt Rong, we need to prepare the spiritual objects needed for the medicinal bath first."

"Tianyang Fruit, Blue Spirit Flower, Purple Yin Ivy, Green Burning Saliva..."

"Only by removing the impurities from these spiritual objects can they be refined into spiritual liquid."

Matters involving refining and extraction belong to the field of alchemists, and he doesn't understand them at all.

At this moment, Qu Qirong clenched her teeth, suppressed her inner shyness, and said softly: "Don't worry about the medicinal bath, Ran'er... It's already prepared."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, with a hint of trembling and tenderness, which made people unable to help but fantasize.

Already prepared?

Lu Ran was stunned.

Then I understood.

Aunt Rong must have read the contents of the first volume and prepared the relevant spiritual objects for this purpose, and has already refined this special spiritual liquid.

Lu Ran didn't say much, just smiled gently: "In that case, let's get started, Aunt Rong!"

For matters like this, he has to be the first to speak up, after all, Aunt Rong is a woman.

"Yeah!" Qu Qirong responded, not daring to look at her own Ran'er. She swayed her seductive and plump body and slowly entered the bathroom.

The strange thing is that for some reason, there are two bathtubs inside.

She slowly put hot water in the first bathtub and sprinkled some flower petals for bathing.
