Chapter 65: Chu Lian Has Fallen into Depravity

Lu Chen returned to his dwelling and immediately picked up the waste pills beside the alchemy furnace.

【Detected waste pill, Heavenly Tribulation Dao Pill!】

【Original effect: after consumption, greatly increases one's Heavenly Tribulation resistance. But due to failed refinement, this effect is minuscule. If taken casually, one may suffer backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation!】

【Reverse effect: after consumption, greatly increases one's Heavenly Tribulation resistance. Refinement is extremely successful, effect greatly increased! After taking it, the Heavenly Tribulation becomes gentle.】

"I never expected it to be this kind of pill!"

Lu Chen had a general understanding that breaking through from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Dao Comprehension Realm indeed requires undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation.

It is said that demonic cultivators find undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation extremely difficult, because they are not recognized by the heavenly dao; throughout history, many famous demonic path cultivators have perished due to the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, many demonic cultivators, even when they reach the point where they could break through, rarely choose to do so.

Unless they possess special means.

For example, this Heavenly Tribulation Dao Pill.

"Keep it; even if I might not use it, to those cultivators it's a rare treasure!"

He muttered a sentence, then went to Chu Lian's room to take a look.

From yesterday when he went to the Nine Abyss Sect until now, Chu Lian hasn't slept; the prolonged pressure has made her sleep very deeply.

"With her alchemy talent, we must definitely find a way to abduct her together."

Such an alchemist, placed anywhere, is a coveted existence for all parties.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's attitude toward her is the best proof.

"Cough cough."

Lu Chen pondered, but in a short time he couldn't think of any way to make her willingly follow him.

Given her background, using benefits alone cannot move her at all.

"Or maybe, play the emotion card?"

"Or, put her to sleep?"

Lu Chen's expression was solemn; for a moment he couldn't make a decision.

At that moment, the Empress nearby floated over softly.

"You brat, what are you thinking about again?"

Because of the soul contract, the Empress can vaguely sense what Lu Chen is thinking.

She came to the door and also took a glance inside.

"An eighteen-year-old seventh-rank alchemist, even if placed in my Night Clan, would be an extremely rare existence."

"You brat, don't be oblivious to your blessings."

The Empress's words carried encouragement.

At the same time, there was also a desire to watch the drama.

"Empress sister, please don't fan the flames; let me think on my own."

Lu Chen also couldn't think of a better method in the short term.

Originally he had thought to wait for her to take the initiative, but now he can't wait any longer.

He simply made up his mind, since he's already considered unreasonable in her heart; at worst, he'll be even more unreasonable.

Thinking this, Lu Chen stepped forward and entered Chu Lian's room.

Seeing him enter, the Empress showed a faint smile.

Then, with a flick of her fingertip, she closed the door for him.

Of course, doors only affect the living; as a soul entity, she can pass through freely.

Having such a good show to alleviate ten thousand years of boredom, she naturally couldn't miss it.

Soon, a shrill scream came from Chu Lian's bed.

"When I appear before you, you should be happy, not shout and ask how I got in."

Lu Chen lay beside Chu Lian's bed, looking like a ruffian.

"Lecher! What do you want to do again?"

"I don't want to do anything; I'm just a bit unable to sleep, so I came to find you."

If it were in front of other women, Lu Chen would absolutely not say such words.

But for some reason, facing Chu Lian, these words flow easily.

"What does my insomnia have to do with you! Get out! I'm going to sleep!"

Lu Chen remained unmoved.

"Get out!"

Lu Chen still remained unmoved.

Seeing this scene, Chu Lian formed hand seals, a threatening posture:

"Aren't you afraid I'll use the power left by my master to annihilate you?"

But Lu Chen simply did not act as she expected: "Then come on; if I can die by your hand, this life of mine will have been worth it."

"You——!"

Chu Lian's face bore ferocity.

"Fine! Since it's like that, then come! When the time comes, I'll see how you face the wrath of my master and the Black Ash Sect!"

She said this, and actually actively leaned toward him.

This scene surprised both Lu Chen and the Empress.

But this actually made things much simpler.

As for the Black Ash Sect and Ancestor Yunshu, Lu Chen isn't particularly worried.

The two sects are far from here; he is about to leave the Demonic Sect's territory right now, and even if they come after him, they can only first deal with the Orthodox Path.

Moreover, he knows they won't do that.

After all, Lu Chen had long seen through her habit of saying one thing and meaning another.

As time passed bit by bit, Su Qian and Gu Xiangxiang, who had gone out to cultivate, returned to their dwelling.

The two had just entered when they saw Chu Lian, her face flushed, lying on Su Qian and Lu Chen's straw mat.

Beside them, Lu Chen sat cross-legged cultivating, as if nothing had happened.

The two, at least, knew Lu Chen well enough to naturally understand what had happened.

However, the two didn't even exchange a glance.

"Master, Qin Yan just came looking for me, saying you need to go."

Su Qian came to Lu Chen's side and slowly spoke.

"Hmm, I know."

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, ending his cultivation.

At that moment, Gu Xiangxiang walked to his side, picked up a blanket, and covered the askew Chu Lian.

"Take good care of her; I'll be back soon."

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Leaving the dwelling, Lu Chen went straight to Elder Qin's Elder Peak.

On Elder Peak, several of her disciples were cultivating.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

A male disciple, with a serious expression, was practicing a body technique against several specially made wooden posts.

The other disciples were each engaging in tacit training with their own beast companions.

"Tacit training... I don't even know if Wang Cai needs it."

Lu Chen thought, and suddenly saw Qin Yan come out from the dwelling in the high sky.

He didn't catch what Qin Yan said, only seeing several disciples, after she spoke, quickly salute her and leave Elder Peak.

One of the male disciples, as he left, seemed to notice him as well.

"Elder Qin." Lu Chen landed and bowed to Qin Yan.

"No need for formalities."

Qin Yan knew Lu Chen had returned to the Nine Abyss Sect, so she asked about Qin Lin.

"He's doing well; he's about to break through to Mid Elixir Storage."

"Mid Elixir Storage... it seems his talent is still..." Qin Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, finally turning into a sigh.

"Talent is unpredictable." Lu Chen gave a faint smile.

"You... your talent isn't in the realm." Qin Yan seemed to see through him in an instant.

"Forget it, let's go to my dwelling."

All this seemed like a business transaction, losing passionate feelings, leaving only a bland, water-like process.

However, Lu Chen didn't care about these either.

All he wanted was the other party's cultivation feedback; the rest need not be forced.
