Chapter 5: Promotion to Qi Refining Second Layer

The night passed, and the wind and rain suddenly ceased.

Inside the room, the bedding was in disarray, and clothes were strewn everywhere.

One could well imagine, the intensity of the battle last night could well be imagined.

On the bed appeared a pitiful man with a deathly pale complexion and a weak body, while beside him was a satisfied, relaxed, long-legged imperial sister.

They were naturally Zhou Sui and Ji Bingyu.

Whoosh, whoosh~~~

At this very moment, Zhou Sui sensed a message flooding into his sea of consciousness: "You dual cultivated with your Dao Companion seven times last night; your hearts are connected, and your love has deepened. You have gained a certain degree of Sword Dao experience, and your Spirit Root aptitude has been improved to a certain extent."

"You have obtained the other party's Yin Essence, and your cultivation has advanced to the Qi Refining Second Layer."

At this moment, he felt a massive surge of True Essence erupting within his body, instantly clearing a meridian, and the power within him was significantly more formidable than before.

Originally, he would have needed two or three years of bitter cultivation to reach the realm of the Qi Refining Second Layer.

But now, it was merely a few instances of dual cultivation, yet it actually caused his cultivation to receive a massive boost, elevating his cultivation to the Qi Refining Second Layer and saving years of bitter practice.

One could well imagine just how great a benefit this was.

"Wait, gained Sword Dao experience? Spirit Root aptitude improved? Could this be the hidden power of the Infatuation Gu?"

Zhou Sui was immediately taken aback.

Suddenly, he obtained an important piece of information from the Infatuation Gu, which was that the power of the Infatuation Gu was not merely as simple as making a female Cultivator fall in love with him.

If one dual cultivates with the other party, the deeper the love, the more benefits one can obtain.

He could obtain cultivation advancements from the female Cultivator, gain all sorts of cultivation experience from the other party, and even improve his Spirit Root aptitude; it could be said to have inexhaustible wonderful uses.

Of course, this kind of thing is mutual; the female side can also obtain corresponding benefits from him.

But for the time being, because Zhou Sui's cultivation is too low, he naturally obtains the most benefits.

"If this is the case, then wouldn't the more Dao Companions I have, the faster my cultivation speed?"

Zhou Sui immediately thought of one of the ways to use the Infatuation Gu.

Originally, he was still troubled by how to improve his own Spirit Root aptitude; if he had many Dao Companions, then the speed at which his Spirit Root aptitude improved would be even more terrifying.

By then, his Ninth Grade Spiritual Root could be promoted to an Eighth Grade Spirit Root, a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, or even a First Grade Spiritual Root.

Even a Heavenly Spirit Root was not something he dared not imagine.

If he truly possessed Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, then his path of cultivation would be a smooth journey.

"Rest assured, husband, I will be responsible for you."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow we will hold the wedding and announce it to the world."

Ji Bingyu hugged Zhou Sui and said with a satisfied look on her face.

She felt that her heart was experiencing unprecedented happiness at this moment, as if she had lived in vain before.

Sure enough, taking the initiative was the right choice; otherwise, such a cute man would definitely be snatched away by other bad women.

A man like this falling into her own hands was the best choice.

What?!

Hearing this, Zhou Sui's mouth twitched; how did he feel as if their roles had been reversed, as if he had become that little woman bullied by a tyrant?

Clearly, the other party was the one who had been taken advantage of by him, and she had even given him her first time.

However, he did not refuse; after all, for him, this was also a good thing.

After all, only by getting married is it legitimate dual cultivation.

Moreover, marriage between Cultivators is also very simple; there is no registration at a civil affairs bureau, as long as a wedding banquet is held and they receive the blessings of the crowd, it counts as the mark of becoming Dao Companions.

"Alright, since you don't refuse, then I'll take it as you agreeing; now you should get some good rest, you were also exhausted last night." Ji Bingyu quickly put on her clothes and left the bed.

After all, she was a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator, and her physical constitution and cultivation were both far stronger than Zhou Sui's.

Even after dual cultivating several times, she was still full of energy, without the slightest hint of fatigue.

…………

At this very moment, in the mansion's main hall, Mu Ziyan and Xia Jingyan had already been waiting for a long time.

They looked with strange expressions at Ji Bingyu, who had just walked out of Zhou Sui's bedroom with a calm and composed manner; after all, they were not fools, and as Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators, with such a big commotion last night, it was impossible for them not to have noticed.

"Sister Ji, you are too amazing, you made a move on that man so quickly? Forcing him into it? You are truly a role model for us women." Mu Ziyan looked at Ji Bingyu with an expression of admiration.

In the past, it was always men forcing themselves on women, but now, it was actually a woman forcing herself on a man; one could imagine how amazing Sister Ji was, truly a role model for women, a heroine who does not yield to men.

"Haha, no choice, such a cute man, if I don't make a move early, he might be snatched away by other bad women." Ji Bingyu's pretty face flushed red.

To tell the truth, she also felt that she was truly too bold, and it seemed a bit different from her previous personality.

But this was love at first sight; seeing something she liked and buying it, seeing a man she liked and snatching him, daring to love and hate, completely ignoring worldly prejudices—this was the real her, Ji Bingyu.

"Sister Ji, what is so good about this man? He isn't handsome, his aptitude is ordinary, and he is just a small Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator?" Xia Jingyan was full of confusion and did not feel that this man, Zhou Sui, had any charm at all.

One must know that Ji Bingyu had countless pursuers, and even some sect Cultivators had pursued her, but they were all rejected by her and completely ignored.

But now, a mere small Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator had actually been taken a fancy to by Sister Ji; it was truly inconceivable.

Of course, she did not think it was Zhou Sui who made the move; a mere Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator, no matter how many tricks he had, could not possibly do anything to her sister.

"Sister Xia, what is there to ask? To each their own, Sister Ji just likes this type."

Mu Ziyan said bluntly: "He's just a man, if you like him, you like him, does it need any reason? If you aren't satisfied, just abandon him."

She felt that this was the real Sister Ji, with a personality like an empress.

Why is it that those men can have three wives and four concubines and be flirtatious everywhere, while they women cannot do the same?

"Giggle, you don't understand, I feel this man is very special, he gives me an unprecedented feeling, different from other men, so I fell in love with him."

"In any case, tomorrow I will hold a wedding banquet with him and become Dao Companions."

"Anyway, my parents are no longer here, and there is no need to care about others; if I like him, I'll marry him."

Ji Bingyu smiled slightly.

"Yes, Sister Ji."

Mu Ziyan also looked at Ji Bingyu with admiration; this was the big sister she worshipped, daring to love and daring to hate. It was clearly just a man she had met for the first time, yet she actually dared to marry him.

Is this what a mature woman is like? She really is different from a woman like herself who is inexperienced in the ways of the world; it is truly too overbearing.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed so. Having already become a Qi Practitioner, one is long since different from a mortal, so naturally, there is no need to abide by the rigid rules and regulations of mortals.

If one cannot follow one's heart, then what is the point of cultivating immortality?
