Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Zhao Zimo's dazed pupils finally regained clarity, but by the time he realized what he had done, it was too late.

"Lu...Mr. Lu..."

After a night of torture, Lu Yuguan lay motionless on the hay like a crumpled piece of white paper.

Tears hung in the corners of his eyes, like morning dew, crystal clear and fragile.

The air around was filled with a heavy silence, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

The sunlight outside the cave filtered through the gaps in the grass leaves and fell on Lu Yuguan's face, giving his pale skin a soft golden edge.

Despite this, Lu Yuguan still looked so weak and helpless.

Zhao Zimo held his forehead, not knowing how to face Lu Yuguan.

"What have I done..."

Zhao Zimo picked up the dry clothes and gently put them on Lu Yuguan to cover up his embarrassing body.

If I hadn't regained consciousness, it would have been hard to imagine that such a tragic scene was Zhao Zimo's masterpiece.

The moment his skin touched his clothes, Lu Yuguan was like a frightened deer, and his already limp body began to tremble involuntarily again.

"……don't want……"

Lu Yuguan was still mumbling incoherently, his consciousness still deep in the sleep of last night, unable to wake up for a long time.

Zhao Zimo sighed and stopped touching Lu Yuguan. He knew very well that he had indeed gone too far.

He practiced martial arts in the military camp for many years and had not touched meat for who knows how long. He had been holding it in for countless days and nights, and under the stimulation of the evil, the desire was burning fiercely.

Although the situation was urgent last night, I was able to take advantage of the situation.

This is indeed not what a gentleman does.

"How am I going to face Father and Mother when I return?"

Zhao Zimo looked at his palm, which still had the residual warmth of Lu Yuguan, and couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman beside him a few more times.

"Huh? My viciousness... seems to have disappeared?" Zhao Zimo looked inside his body. The meridians that were originally scarred were now intact, and all signs of viciousness disappeared.

"No, my cultivation level—"

Zhao Zimo tried to practice his martial arts, and a powerful spiritual power gushed out from his body, like a newly opened spring, continuously gushing out clear water.

The middle stage of foundation building!

At this moment, Zhao Zimo could no longer remain calm and checked again in disbelief.

That’s right… In just one night, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally broke through the bottleneck.

Zhao Zimo was happy at first, but then he looked at Lu Yuguan who was lying unconscious on the ground with mixed emotions.

He held Lu Yuguan's slender hand and said softly, "Master Lu, I've made up my mind. If you don't mind, I, Zhao Zimo, will only treat you well in this life. No matter what others think, as long as you say the word, you will be the Crown Princess of Xin Zhao!"

Time passed silently, and light finally illuminated the entire cave. Lu Yuguan's eyelids trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to open them.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?" Zhao Zimo hurriedly let go of Lu Yuguan's hand, looked at him who was about to wake up, and asked hurriedly.

Finally, after a weak struggle, Lu Yuguan opened his eyes and saw the familiar face.

"You're awake." Zhao Zimo said softly, his voice full of concern.

"Where am I?"

Lu Yuguan looked at the unfamiliar environment around him in a daze. In an instant, his head started splitting with pain. He screamed and groaned, holding his head.

"what happened?"

Zhao Zimo nervously wanted to hug Lu Yuguan, but they had such a relationship last night, so any touching would be awkward now.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and thought carefully about what had happened during the time he lost consciousness.

First, the system prompted that my physical condition was out of control... then I encountered that giant bird... and what else... what else was it?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing in the Heart Sutra. The current [Bronze Furnace Tripod] has been upgraded to [Silver Furnace Tripod]]

[Silver Furnace Heart Sutra | Internal Power]

[Introduction: By operating the furnace cauldron nurtured within the body of a person with a furnace cauldron constitution, one can gather spiritual energy and strengthen the spiritual sea.]

"Tongzi, Tongzi?" Lu Yuguan called out to the system with his eyes wide open. "How did I suddenly become stronger?"

【…】

The system is silent.

During the time when Lu Yuguan lost his mind, the system was always in a free state. Although it could sense everything happening around it, it couldn't say much.

【I have no idea. 】

【Maybe this is a blessing from heaven. 】

Lu Yuguan laughed happily, then realized that he was too excited and shyly retracted his smug look.

System: ...Silly child.

Lu Yuguan silently read the character panel, and a blue translucent interface appeared in his mind -

[Name: Lu Yuguan]

[Civilization Value: 15.2]

[Cultivation: Dust Transformation Stage 8]

[Spiritual Power: 96 (+20% Internal Power Bonus)/80]

[Spiritual Root Attribute: Single Wood Root]

[Kung Fu: Internal Kung Fu | Furnace Cauldron Demon Control Heart Method (Silver Furnace Cauldron Heart Sutra, Beginner Level)]

[Kung Fu: External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Beginning of Spring Breeze), Ten Thousand Trees and Thorns | External Kung Fu (Minor Success), Solid Wood Armor | External Kung Fu (Beginner)]

[Skill: None]

[Divinity: Kaitian (0.53%), Xuanyuan (0.02%)]

[Multiple "None" attribute item columns are hidden here]

Divinity?

Lu Yuguan stared at the newly appeared word, completely confused.

[Host, the [Divinity] item can give your furnace physique multiple benefits. The higher the divinity, the better the effect.]

[There is only one way to acquire divinity, and that is to interact more with objects that possess divinity.]

[The longer the contact time, the more divinity the furnace will gain! ]

Lu Yuguan was even more confused when he heard this. Divinity?

Where else have I seen anything that possesses divinity?

Lu Yuguan clicked on the two entries, and the rich attributes made his eyes shine——

[Kai Tian (0.53%): A mysterious power born before the chaos. It has a chance to allow the host to maintain a dominant state when encountering a fatal attack. The duration of this state is related to the level of cultivation.]

[Xuanyuan (0.02%): The bloodline of the descendants of the dragon is said to be legendary. Attacking has a chance to trigger a beheading effect on the host.]

Not to mention that no one knows where [Xuanyuan] and [Kaitian] came from.

And why is [Kai Tian] so much higher than the other entry?

System: Just be confused, young man. I hope you never discover in your lifetime that the most direct and effective way to obtain divinity is...

[Ding! Detected that the host's main external skill proficiency has reached perfection, now opening the second form of [External Skill | Solar Terms·Part 1].]

External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Rain of Sacrifice)

[Introduction: Summons a drizzle of rain. You can specify whether it will cause healing or slowing effects. The area is determined by the amount of spiritual power consumed.]

[Consumption: 10+ Spiritual Power]

This new skill is more like an auxiliary skill, which is dispensable for Lu Yuguan at the moment.

"Save it for later practice." Lu Yuguan had almost finished checking and opened his eyes with satisfaction.

Zhao Zimo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yuguan's expression had eased a little.

"Mr. Zhao, where are we?" Lu Yuguan asked Zhao Zimo.

Zhao Zimo stared at Lu Yuguan, whose clothes were not yet put on, revealing a little bit of her private parts. Looking down at her through her underwear, he could even catch a glimpse of a few deep bite marks.

"This..." Zhao Zimo blushed and tried to ease the embarrassment by coughing. "Last night, you were targeted by the Bone Demon and suddenly lost consciousness. I went to save you, and then..."

"Then what?"

Lu Yuguan looked at Zhao Zimo who was hesitating and asked in confusion.

Zhao Zimo was wavering in his heart, but he finally decided to lie: "You were abducted by the Bone Demon. When I found you, you were already here."

Then you're blushing like a bubble teapot!

Lu Yuguan stood up with a dissatisfied grumble, and then the belated abdominal pain made it difficult for him to straighten up.

"hiss……"

Lu Yuguan covered his waist and was about to fall down when Zhao Zimo held him up.

"That ugly thing was so cruel. I felt uncomfortable all over after being beaten. Fortunately, I was unconscious at that time, otherwise I would have been in so much pain." Lu Yuguan frowned.

Zhao Zimo was speechless for a long time and could only nod in agreement.

"Alas, fortunately, Mr. Zhao helped me, otherwise I would have been tortured to death by that guy," Lu Yuguan said with disgust as he looked at the bruises on his body, "I don't know how that damn thing threw me—"

"I felt hazy and like I was hit by something."

Zhao Zimo's expression was uncertain, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Lu, let's go out first and go back to rest early."

Lu Yuguan clutched his empty stomach and complained, "You're right. I need to take a shower. I feel sticky all over and uncomfortable."

Lu Yuguan put on his clothes, smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Zimo, "Let's go, Brother Zhao, I still need you to support me."

"Oh, oh." Zhao Zimo hurried forward, supporting Lu Yuguan with one hand and walking out.

Zhao Zimo didn't know whether Lu Yuguan was pretending to be stupid or he really didn't know. Although he was poisoned by the evil last night, he still remembered the passionate feeling of being inseparable.

He knew in his heart that if he confessed everything to Lu Yuguan, let alone trying to get Lu Yuguan to return to Xin Zhao to be his Crown Princess, the two of them would probably not even be able to be friends.

Lu Yuguan was indeed a little tired, and he had to stop and rest for a while after walking for a while.

Zhao Zimo did not dare to neglect him. He not only moved him to a cool and soft place, but also picked wild fruits for Lu Yuguan to eat.

While chewing the sweet, crispy and fragrant fruit, Lu Yuguan teased Zhao Zimo, "Mr. Zhao, you are truly amazing. It's not surprising that you have a high level of cultivation, but I didn't expect you to be so caring."

However, Zhao Zimo avoided looking directly at Lu Yuguan, for fear of being exposed.

"Oh, if you were a girl, I would definitely marry you."

Lu Yuguan joked with a smile.

"Ahem...Mr. Lu, you're joking." Zhao Zimo almost choked after taking a bite of the fruit, but he felt a little happy in his heart.

Lu Yuguan approached Zhao Zimo and lowered his voice to ask, "Hey, Mr. Zhao, have you ever experienced...that kind of thing?"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zimo felt Lu Yuguan's warm breath and did not dare to act rashly.

"That's it," Lu Yuguan exclaimed, "I've never even touched a girl's hand in my life. I was blessed by God last night. I must go to that brothel when I get home!"

For some reason, Zhao Zimo's heart suddenly felt warm.

It turned out to be his first time.

Thinking about it carefully, I am such a bad person. Not only did I take someone's body for no reason, but I also deliberately concealed the truth. It is really not kind of me.

"Don't go to that kind of place." Zhao Zimo looked at Lu Yuguan and said solemnly.

Lu Yuguan was stunned by Zhao Zimo's serious look, and after hearing what he said, he became angry again.

"Why? I'm an adult after all. What's wrong with going there? You can't let me be single forever, right?"

Zhao Zimo shook his head and said firmly, "No, I can't go."

"Tsk, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes at him. Although he agreed, he didn't take Zhao Zimo's words to heart at all.

If he says I can’t go, then I can’t go. Wouldn’t that make me lose face?

I have been in this world for so long, but I have not yet fully experienced the "customs and practices". I had been looking at the appearance of the seven fairies last night, but before I could get close to them, I was disturbed by the Bone Demon.

It's really hateful!

Zhao Zimo found the man in front of him looking very dissatisfied and found it very cute, but he secretly made up his mind to find a chance to confess to Lu Yuguan.

Then marry him back to Xin Zhao.

Be his princess!

The forest was filled with birdsong and flowers, and the stream was gurgling. Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting a shadow on the lush green grass. Although the two were hurrying back, they couldn't help but linger a little longer to take a few more glances.

Suddenly, two figures riding horses appeared at the end of the road in front of me.

"Lu Yuguan——"

When Lu Yuguan heard someone calling his name, he immediately stretched his neck to look.

"Li Chonglin? Why is he here?"

Before Lu Yuguan could wonder for long, Li Chonglin had already dismounted, walked quickly forward, stretched out his arm and tried to pull Lu Yuguan back.

Zhao Zimo frowned and quickly stopped Li Chonglin's hand.

"Who are you?" Li Chonglin looked at Zhao Zimo sharply. Miao'er behind him also put her hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to protect Li Chonglin at any time.

"Your Highness, long time no see," Zhao Zimo nodded politely. "I am Zhao Zimo, the eldest son of King Xin Zhao. We met at the International Banquet a few years ago."

Lu Yuguan looked at Master Zhao beside him in shock. He was about to condemn him for hiding so well, but then he thought again and realized that he really had not asked about Zhao Zimo's background.

Right now, the two princes were at loggerheads, and he could only watch helplessly.

Li Chonglin thought about it and realized that there was indeed such a person in his memory, but it had been so long that the name and face could not be matched.

"Since you recognize me, why do you dare to stop me?" Li Chonglin said with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Zimo calmly replied, "Master Lu is seriously injured. I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might have used too much force and injured Master Lu again."

"Humph."

Li Chonglin ignored Zhao Zimo. As the crown prince of Longhua Kingdom, he could also act arrogantly in front of the crown prince of a vassal state.

"Boy from the Bai family, is he telling the truth?" Li Chonglin looked at the stunned Lu Yuguan and asked.

"Ah... yes, I was saved by Mr. Zhao and only then did I get my life back." Lu Yuguan said.

Zhao Zimo was nervous. He knew that if Lu Yuguan said a few more words, he might be exposed.

Seeing this, Li Chonglin said nothing more and said to the two of them, "Get on your horses first. We still have to help the Dali Temple record the records when we get back."

After saying that, Li Chonglin wanted to take Lu Yuguan on the horse and ride together.

But Zhao Zimo took the initiative and stopped Li Chonglin's action, saying with reason and reason, "Master Lu is seriously injured and cannot bear the bumpy ride. I have been marching for years and am an expert horseman. Let me lead Master Lu, so Your Highness will not have to worry about it."

"Eh eh eh——"

Just as Lu Yuguan was about to say something, Zhao Zimo picked him up and jumped onto the horse's back.

Miao'er silently put away her fighting stance and looked at the two people walking one in front and one behind her. A strange intuition arose spontaneously.

Li Chonglin looked at Zhao Zimo with gritted teeth, and complicated emotions arose in his heart.

This was something he had never tasted since he was crowned the crown prince.

jealousy.
