Chapter 5: Double Harvest, So Awesome!

Several hours later.

Ji Fuyao slowly opened her eyes, her starry eyes flickering.

Her Dao foundation had been completely restored, emitting an incomparably brilliant light, dazzling and eye‑catching, as if a full moon illuminated her inner world.

Ji Fuyao was somewhat excited.

Now her talent is stronger than in her previous life by who knows how much!

Hope ignited once again in her heart.

Rise again!

In this life, she will become stronger!

Ji Fuyao murmured.

"Just swallowing the Dao Foundation Pill is already terrifying; once I start cultivating the Grand Dao Scripture, I'll be able to forge a perfect Dao foundation!"

"Perfect Dao foundation! If I succeed in forging a perfect Dao foundation, in this life I will reach the pinnacle of cultivation!"

She was full of confidence.

Moreover, her Fuyao Dynasty will also rise again!

Last time the dynasty suffered a bloodbath, her three chief subordinates each escaped with some elites, now hiding in Nan Huang, awaiting her summons!

Ji Fuyao's heart surged, she bit her lip and said.

"Once I enter the Profound Sect Realm, I can contact my old troops!"

A moment later.

Ji Fuyao circulated her spiritual technique, wanting to check her cultivation speed.

Her cultivation method is a one‑star imperial tier, the Profound Fire Scripture!

"Boom!"

Instantly, an incomparably vast surge of spiritual energy poured into her dantian.

Ji Fuyao was somewhat shocked.

After her Dao foundation was completed, her cultivation speed increased tenfold!

This time, becoming Lu Xuan's disciple by accident brought her such a great benefit!

Such fortune can be called heaven‑defying!

She suddenly thought.

Lu Xuan having her cook is probably just an excuse to give her a disciple's gift!

The master is thoughtful, huh.

A warm current welled up in Ji Fuyao's heart.

For a moment, she felt great curiosity toward Lu Xuan.

Ji Fuyao's lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes shifting, "Lu Xuan, what exactly is your secret?"

"However, the Dao Foundation Pill might also have been left by the previous peak master."

"Let's observe for a few more days."

Saying this, she took out the identity token she had received at the Grand Dao Hall.

Her divine sense probed it, and a grand, overbearing voice filled her sea of consciousness, profound and obscure power surging, as if tearing through time and space, it spoke loudly.

"Those who join the Grand Dao Sect must swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, never to betray the Grand Dao Sect!"

Ji Fuyao knew this was a grand move by the Grand Dao Sect, using an ancient secret art to make disciples swear the heavenly oath!

This is an ancient secret art, extremely hard to crack!

Once the oath is sworn, in this life she is a disciple of the Grand Dao Sect!

Even if she restores the glory of the Fuyao Dynasty and becomes the Fuyao Empress, she remains a disciple of the Grand Dao Sect.

Ji Fuyao knew this is actually not a restriction.

Because the Grand Dao Sect transcends the conflicts of cultivators in Nan Huang; once a disciple reaches the Profound Saint Realm, they can freely choose to stay in the Grand Dao Sect or return to their own power.

Even if they leave the Grand Dao Sect, they remain members of it!

This is also why the Grand Dao Sect has stood firm in Nan Huang for countless ages!

Ji Fuyao had already decided.

Join the Grand Dao Sect!

Because she needs the Grand Dao Scripture to forge a perfect Dao foundation and enter the legendary "Ultimate Dao"!

She directly bonded with the identity token and swore the Heavenly Dao Oath.

"Boom!"

Above Xuan Qing Feng, a brilliant divine radiance shattered the void's tranquility; heaven and earth rumbled, and faint thunder flickered.

The Heavenly Dao Oath was established!

Seeing this, the Sect Leader and others in the Grand Dao Sect, hidden in the shadows, all let out a sigh of relief.

Ji Fuyao finally bonded with the identity token!

She officially became a disciple of the Grand Dao Sect!

As for the inner‑door trial one month later, the Sect Leader and others were fully confident.

They had already given special instruction to the true‑transmission disciples and inner‑door disciples; this time they will surely strike hard at Ji Fuyao.

Cultivation talent is certainly important, but a good master is equally important.

A good master guiding cultivation yields twice the result with half the effort!

But with Lu Xuan as master, it's half the result with double the effort……

Meanwhile, Ji Fuyao put away the identity token.

She couldn't wait to start cultivating!

Exhale.

Ji Fuyao exhaled like orchid, her slender jade hands shifted, her black hair lightly swayed, she began circulating the cultivation secret.

The power of refining flood dragon flesh!

At the same time she also took out some high-grade spirit stones and piled them before her!

Soon, a faint divine radiance flowed over Ji Fuyao's body, incredibly crystal-clear, her hair turned crystal-clear, her cultivation foundation steadily increased.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan was leisurely lying on a thousand-year profound ice bed in his cave abode, reading a book suitable for all ages.

It talked about the wild history of the cultivation world.

This wild history was too wild, saying the founding ancestor of the Great Dao Sect:

"Initially practicing sword, he destroyed one eye; then practicing saber, he destroyed another eye; studying formations, he trapped himself in a formation for over a hundred days, nearly dying; studying alchemy, he exploded one furnace, exploded two spirit peaks, had his junior brother take it, his junior brother nearly died; expelled from the sect. Thus he founded the Great Dao Sect, achieving something..."

"Haha."

Lu Xuan laughed out a pig-like squeal.

Very pleasant.

Just then, the system's voice came from beside Lu Xuan's ear.

"Ding! Host's chief disciple Ji Fuyao is cultivating, start syncing cultivation foundation!"

Boom!

Lu Xuan slightly startled.

He felt a tingling numbness all over.

That was spiritual power constantly pouring in, striking his limbs and bones.

In his dantian, immense spiritual energy was continuously gathering!

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be somewhat shocked; Ji Fuyao's cultivation speed was too fast, that surge of cultivation foundation rushed through his meridians like a small stream, feeling somewhat refreshing.

Lying down, one can cultivate!

Lu Xuan's mouth corner slightly rose.

This feeling is truly exhilarating.

Then, the system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Host's chief disciple Ji Fuyao is comprehending the Way of Spiritual Fire, start syncing!"

Hiss!

Lu Xuan opened his right hand, a flame of spiritual fire slowly burned.

He felt more attuned to spiritual fire.

The Way of Spiritual Fire, Lu Xuan has already achieved Great Accomplishment; after Great Accomplishment comes Perfection, then Great Perfection.

His mastery of the Way of Spiritual Fire is advancing toward Perfection!

"Disciple, keep it up!"

Lu Xuan laughed and said.

He changed his posture, continued lying down to read, in high spirits.

With every breath, his cultivation foundation increased!

The comprehension of the Way of Spiritual Fire also rose!

Soon, night fell, Lu Xuan fell asleep on time.

Waking in the middle of the night, he casually checked the system.

"Ding! Currently syncing the chief disciple Ji Fuyao's cultivation foundation!"

"Ding! Currently syncing the comprehension of the Way of Spiritual Fire!"

Lu Xuan slightly startled.

Ji Fuyao was surprisingly diligent, still cultivating late at night.

He certainly wasn't squeezing his disciple.

It was all her own volition.

After thinking, Lu Xuan continued sleeping.

The next day, the sun high, Lu Xuan leisurely woke up.

The system was again syncing the cultivation foundation!

Shortly after, a large amount of spiritual energy poured into Lu Xuan's body, his realm directly broke through to the mid Xuan Huang Realm!

Lu Xuan was stunned.

Holy shit?

In just one night, he directly broke through a minor realm!

What does that mean?

You know, even the geniuses of the Great Dao Sect need several months to break through a minor realm in the Xuan Huang Realm!

Moreover, no matter how fast his realm rises, there are no side effects.

No need to worry about unstable realm or unstable foundation!

Mainly, it's hassle-free.

Lu Xuan checked Ji Fuyao's panel.

【Ji Fuyao: Great Xuan King late stage Great Perfection.

Dao Foundation: fully completed!】

"Not bad! Fuyao has already taken the Heavenly Rank Dao Foundation Pill, the effect looks good."

Lu Xuan murmured.

Ji Fuyao lives up to being the reincarnation of an empress; this cultivation speed is truly too fast.

He remembered that upon first transmigrating, he too had tried to cultivate, but the original host's talent was too poor; after a month of bitter cultivation, he hadn't even advanced a single layer in the Qi Refining Realm.

He simply gave up and chose to lie flat.

But now, overnight, the Profound Emperor Realm actually rose by a minor stage.

Too terrifying!

"My disciple, you work so hard; once the system's reward is issued in three days, I will surely reward you well!"

Lu Xuan felt great; with a thought, he clothed himself in white robes, came to the clear spring on the mountain peak, and washed his face.

He saw Ji Fuyao already cooking in the thatched hut.

She wore a scarlet long dress, her figure perfect, her beauty unparalleled; her immortal beauty made the shabby thatched hut shine.

Ji Fuyao's slender jade-like hands kept chopping fire dragon meat on the wooden board, looking especially focused.

Lu Xuan lay on the recliner in front of the thatched hut and began to sunbathe.

"Disciple, just make a meal, casually."

Ji Fuyao said, "I promised to cook for you for three days; I will definitely not be perfunctory."

Lu Xuan laughed and cried at once.

Alright.

Not long after, Ji Fuyao began heating oil; her slender jade-like hands rose, a stream of spiritual fire surged out, continuously heating the mysterious iron pot.

"Sizzle!"

Ji Fuyao frowned slightly; her spiritual fire cultivation had improved last night, making the spiritual fire's power too strong.

The fire dragon meat almost burned.

She quickly threw several stalks of cold star grass into the pot to neutralize the spiritual fire's power.

Then she threw in a few more stalks of spiritual grass!

Lu Xuan recalled Ji Fuyao's fire dragon meat from yesterday; frankly, it wasn't very tasty.

Only the spiritual fire power preserved in the fire dragon meat was better, but the texture was much worse.

When eating, the main point is to be tasty.

Although the spiritual fire power only leaks, it's like a rib—tasteless, so it's not worth the loss.

Thinking thus, Lu Xuan reminded, "Disciple, use the condiments nearby; you don't need to use those spiritual grasses."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flickered, "But my spiritual fire power is too violent; if I don't add those spiritual grasses, the fire dragon meat's power will be lost too much."

Lu Xuan casually curled his lips, "Then just control the fire."

Ji Fuyao was about to complain, but a flash of lightning crossed her mind.

Was this Lu Xuan guiding her?

She understood.

Control the fire!

The Way of Spiritual Fire—she has already attained minor accomplishment; if she wants great accomplishment, she cannot merely increase the power of spiritual fire!

Rather, she must control the power of spiritual fire!

Once she can control fire with ease, she can enter the Realm of Great Accomplishment!

Thinking thus, Ji Fuyao stopped throwing in spiritual grass, instead settling her mind to focus on fire control.

She relied too much on the power of spiritual grass!

This counts as taking a shortcut!
