Chapter 156: Blissful as an Immortal

Papapa~

Applause broke out.

The one clapping was naturally Lu Xun.

Murong Wan sheathed her sword and stood there; a hint of joy appeared on her pretty face.

After practicing for so long, she finally mastered the Myriad Tribulations Formless Sword.

Thanks to Lu Xun, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten started so quickly.

"Lu Xun, thank you..."

Murong Wan lowered her eyelashes, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

She had intended to thank him properly, but the moment she lifted her gaze, she collided with Lu Xun's scorching stare.

After half a day of sword practice, her cheeks were crimson, fine beads of sweat glistening in the sunlight like a begonia just blooming in morning dew.

That alluring, almost dripping appearance made Lu Xun's breath hitch, and a heart‑pounding fire surged in his dark eyes.

When Murong Wan met Lu Xun's gaze, she felt her cheeks heat up, even the tips of her ears taking on a rosy glow.

She looked as lovely as a flower.

This shyness added a touch of beauty to her.

In Lu Xun's eyes, a certain flame was also blazing fiercely.

Murong Wan's face instantly grew even redder.

How could she not know what Lu Xun was thinking?

"Don't..."

Instinctively, she wanted to say don't.

But halfway through, she realized Lu Xun hadn't made any move yet.

Now, Murong Wan's face instantly turned even redder.

Meanwhile, Lu Xun opposite her was stunned by those two words.

Immediately, Lu Xun reacted.

When a woman says don't, doesn't that mean she wants it?

This is what you yourself wanted.

Thus, Lu Xun decisively sprang into action.

"Ah..."

In the midst of her exclamation, Lu Xun scooped her up.

Instantly,

In this cultivation chamber, spring filled the air.

After more than two hours, Murong Wan gave Lu Xun a shy glare and then fled as if escaping.

If she didn't leave now, she feared Lu Xun would enjoy her a third time.

"Are you angry?"

Lu Xun felt that Murong Wan might not actually be angry.

That look didn't resemble an angry gaze.

The next day, Lu Xun came again.

Murong Wan was still in the cultivation chamber.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Xun strode straight into the cultivation chamber.

Murong Wan could do nothing about him.

"Waner, I still have a powerful palm technique here that should help you."

Lu Xun decided to also teach Murong Wan the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Palm for a try.

The Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Palm evolved from Murong Wan's Rushing Thunder Palm, making it far more formidable.

Seeing that Lu Xun was serious, Murong Wan lowered her guard.

She feared that as soon as Lu Xun arrived, he would start getting handsy with her.

Lu Xun was indeed serious.

The most important matter in the Third Realm is to open the apertures.

So Lu Xun came specially to help Murong Wan practice martial arts; this way her secret apertures would open better, and Lu Xun would naturally reap boundless benefits.

Lu Xun taught from morning until afternoon, and at noon he even grabbed a meal together with Murong Wan.

It wasn't until dusk that Lu Xun finally stopped.

Despite a full day of instruction, plus mutual sparring and combat, Murong Wan still couldn't learn the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Palm.

"Waner, you've already grasped the essence; study another day or two and you should be able to master it."

Murong Wan's Exquisite Jade Physique is indeed a cultivation body type.

Coupled with her extraordinary comprehension, even though the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Palm is extremely difficult to cultivate, her progress is not slow at all.

In just a few days, she'll be able to get started.

"Hmm."

Murong Wan softly let out an 'hmm'.

That 'hmm' was overly gentle, as if she feared startling Lu Xun.

Lu Xun instinctively glanced at Murong Wan.

Only then did he notice that Murong Wan's pretty face was flushed, her gaze darting about, as if she feared making eye contact with Lu Xun.

The atmosphere in the cultivation chamber began to turn subtle.

"Wan'er..."

"No... ah..."

Murong Wan's subsequent words could no longer be spoken; they turned into another language.

The third day.

Lu Xun came again.

Perhaps because she had been bullied by Lu Xun twice in a row, upon seeing Lu Xun, Murong Wan's face involuntarily showed a hint of shyness.

She was the type of woman who was especially prone to shyness.

Even though she and Lu Xun were already like an old married couple, every time Lu Xun kissed and output her, Murong Wan would blush scarlet, tightly shut her eyes, and dare not look at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun naturally came for official business.

He continued teaching Murong Wan the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand.

Cultivation is an extremely resource-consuming endeavor; even when cultivating martial arts, to master it requires a great deal of money as reliance.

For example, cultivating the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand requires a large amount of Thunder Energy Stones, and also some higher-grade Thunder Stones.

Thunder Stones contain streaks of thunder and lightning; they are specially gathered by cultivators during thunderstorms and then stored.

Boom—

Lu Xun continuously released streaks of lightning through the Thunder Stones for Murong Wan to shatter, thereby tempering her palms and training their speed.

The most important aspect of the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand is speed.

When cultivated to a high level, one can unleash over a thousand palms in an instant; the power of those thousand palms stacks together, becoming extraordinarily astonishing.

As of now, Lu Xun can only unleash a few dozen palms.

Another day passed.

Murong Wan's harvest today was not bad; although she had not yet learned the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand, her Running Thunder Palm made progress.

After returning, it made Lu Xun's Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand even stronger.

As soon as it ended, Murong Wan, without a word, wanted to leave.

She was afraid of Lu Xun.

Over the previous two days, each time at the end, she had to be bullied by Lu Xun.

Hiss—

But Murong Wan didn't notice; when Lu Xun was teaching her to exert force just now, he accidentally stepped on her skirt.

Thus, as soon as she moved, her skirt hem was violently tugged, and the sound of the fabric tearing was especially clear in the silence.

A slit opened on the side of her skirt; her smooth, jade-like leg lines were exposed without defense to the air, glowing with a fine luster under the light, making people's breath catch.

Lu Xun's breath involuntarily halted.

They faced each other.

Murong Wan's body stiffened, like a deer suddenly startled in the forest, even holding her breath.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes flickered with a hint of panic, her lips pressed lightly, her snow-white cheeks flushed with a faint crimson, both shy and at a loss.

Lu Xun's heart was stirred once again.

"Wan'er, I'll help you put it on."

"No, I'll do it myself... ah..."

Lu Xun entered the palace again.

Perhaps because he had tasted the marrow and knew the flavor, after several days, even Lu Xun became especially enamored with Murong Wan's body.

As if nothing was ever enough.

Even in his dreams at night, he could dream of being entwined with Murong Wan.

So, as a new day arrived, Lu Xun eagerly came to Murong Wan's cultivation chamber.

Murong Wan arrived earlier than he did.

After opening the door, Murong Wan lifted her gaze and met Lu Xun's eyes; her heart tightened suddenly, as if lightly grasped by something.

She instinctively stepped back half a step, her fingers unconsciously clutching her cuff, and her breathing grew slightly lighter.

Even though Lu Xun had done nothing, whenever he looked at her, she felt like a prey being stared at, her ear tips quietly reddening.

Lu Xun without further ado began teaching her the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand.

During the teaching and learning process, their coordination was unusually tacit, and their attention was not on sexual matters.

However, each time it ended, the scene would veer off.

To avoid yesterday's embarrassment recurring, Murong Wan deliberately changed into a pair of fitted jeans that outlined her slender, straight legs, each step carrying a neat arc.

Yet the fabric's tailored cut instead made her leg lines appear even more smooth and alluring; the unintentional charm she displayed while walking attracted even more attention than yesterday.

"Wan'er..."

Lu Xun couldn't hold back.

Murong Wan wanted to flee, but couldn't move her legs, and Lu Xun succeeded again.

"Really, it's bliss like being a god..."

Over these past days, Lu Xun has been extremely happy.

Indeed, this kind of thing is either zero times or countless times.

【Murong Wan has learned the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand; you gain forty times Murong Wan's harvest.】

【Since the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand is a system-returned martial art and cannot be further upgraded, you will obtain Ultimate Principle Ascension.】

【You obtain Thunder Palm Intent (minor).】

Another two days passed.

Finally, after Lu Xun's continued guidance over several days, Murong Wan learned the Thunder Prison Thousand Tribulations Hand.

Although he had just entered, it also allowed Lu Xun to obtain Thunder Palm Intent.

Palm Intent is also a type of true intent.

"First, reaching the Subtle level, a fortyfold return is indeed effective."

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel somewhat happy.

Over the past few days, Lu Xun systematically studied the true intent possessed by Four Realm masters.

True intent is graded.

Entry level, Subtle level, Transformation level, Annihilation level, Nirvana level.

Initially, true intent is merely entry level.

After refining true intent to be stronger, one can attain Subtle-level true intent.

Subtle, i. e., entering the Subtle level, allows precise control of true intent, greatly increasing its power and destructive force.

Transformation level means 'entering the sublime'; at this stage, true intent can be freely released and restrained, and its power is tremendously fearsome.

Further up is Annihilation-level true intent; at this stage, true intent becomes formidable, capable of destroying anything.

As for Nirvana-level true intent, it is a legendary tier; many martial cultivators above the Seventh Realm have failed to reach this level.

Generally speaking, a Four Realm master at the Four Realm peak can break through to Transformation-level true intent, which is already quite good.

Many ordinary Four Realm masters at the Four Realm peak have true intent only at the Subtle level peak, making it difficult to break through to Transformation level.

This is the standard for ordinary masters.

If one is a Qingbei genius, at the Four Realm peak, their true intent will at least be at the mid-stage of Transformation level.

Lu Xun's true intent was Subtle level from the start; such true intent is even stronger than that of some masters who have just broken through to the Four Realm.

"Waner..."

When one encounters joyous events, the spirit feels refreshed; however, Lu Xun wants to feel even more refreshed.

Murong Wan knew that Lu Xun was coming.

"Right, your sister's belongings are still at the Star Moon Pavilion; why don't we go get them?"

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly had a proposal.

Star Moon Pavilion?

Murong Wan then recalled that last time, her sister's underwear, she couldn't find it even after returning to the dormitory.

It turned out to have fallen at the Star Moon Pavilion.

However, Lu Xun's proposal was obviously not well-intentioned.

She wanted to refuse, but found herself unable to do so.

In the end, she could only go to the Star Moon Pavilion together with Lu Xun.

"Ah..."

Upon arriving at the Star Moon Pavilion, Lu Xun could no longer restrain himself, revealing the form of a big gray wolf, and fiercely pounced on her little white rabbit.
