Chapter 104: Number One Cauldron

Outside, the great sun hung high; inside the dimly lit bedroom, frost covered the ground in scattered white patches.

Fang Can looked at the several girls staring blankly at him, his expression thoughtful.

"I feel Master Fang Can carries a kind of magic; just a light touch makes my body go soft and weak."

"Also, Rick Number Five is really comfortable; it's hard to describe."

"I feel I'll never be able to leave Rick Number Five for the rest of my life."

The girls' faces flushed red as they recounted their experiences just now.

With merely initial contact, they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.

To borrow MYGO's words, they wanted to use Rick Number Five for a lifetime.

Dopamine and endorphins erupted in their minds like a volcanic explosion.

In the later stages, they couldn't even spare attention for breathing, their basic survival instinct.

'Is Rick Number Five really that outrageous?'

Hearing these descriptions, Fang Can's mind was full of question marks; this was far too extreme.

Moreover, it seemed not only his Rick had transformed, but his entire body had become a human meat grinder.

The problem was, just now, he had only felt it was nothing special.

They say "scraping the bone with a steel knife," so whose bone is actually being scraped?

With doubts in his heart, Fang Can walked into the bathroom amidst the girls' unsatisfied gazes to wash his body.

During this process, the few of them tried shamelessly to break in for a romantic bath together, but Fang Can firmly refused them.

After washing, Fang Can walked out of the villa, pressed the dial button, and prepared to contact Liu Qingmeng.

Having lived in the present world for so long, Liu Qingmeng and Jiang Ningan had naturally integrated into this era and were no strangers to using electronic devices.

So a few days ago, Fang Can had already equipped them with mobile phones for contact.

As the video call was placed, Fang Can leaned against the villa's outer wall, waiting for the answer.

Not long after, a stunningly beautiful, delicate face appeared on the screen.

Liu Qingmeng looked at him with a smile in her eyes and said, "Shouldn't you be deeply immersed in a nest of beauties right now?"

"It seems the senior truly knows some secrets." Looking at the smiling girl on the video, Fang Can stated with certainty.

Meanwhile, inside Fang Can's villa, Jiang Ningan, who was cultivating, felt her exquisite ears twitch slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes: 'Is Master talking with Fang Can?'

'Is it a cultivation problem? Then why didn't she call me? I could have answered it clearly.'

Thinking this, the girl, feeling resentful, held her breath and quietly prepared to eavesdrop on their conversation through the room.

Over these days, as time passed, the energy consumption of Liu Qingmeng's incarnation caused her body to shrink step by step.

Not only in appearance, but in strength, she might not even be able to defeat an ordinary person, matching that of a girl her age.

In personality, it also seemed to begin conserving energy, so she no longer carried the cold "strangers keep away" demeanor, becoming a bit more vivid.

For instance, right now, Liu Qingmeng was like a normal girl, gazing at Fang Can's appearance with an appreciative look, thinking this junior indeed looked delicious.

'Hmm, he's good-looking, even more pleasing to the eye than Jiang Ningan.'

Liu Qingmeng smiled brightly; no wonder she had bewitched her own disciple so thoroughly; she was probably still outside eavesdropping right now.

Unaware of the other's thoughts, Fang Can spoke with a serious expression: "Senior Liu, something seems wrong. As soon as I take off my clothes, they cling to me like mad, constantly wanting to use my Rick Number Five."

"Moreover, during the process of using it, their strength and speed have improved significantly; in just half an hour, their strength has increased by at least three times."

"I suspect I have been drained, but I have no evidence." Fang Can said with a solemn demeanor.

Seeing Fang Can's furrowed brows, Liu Qingmeng almost laughed out loud; she struggled to suppress her smile, fully playing the role of a senior, and then said:

"Your guess is correct; don't forget the Tianji Lou's evaluation of you: Number One Cauldron."

"So I was truly drained?"

"You could say you were drained." Liu Qingmeng implied, "The Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony places great importance on the first time."

"And with your talent as a Cauldron, if you had a good Dual Cultivation technique, properly harmonizing the first drainage could easily allow you to cross one or two levels of the Heavenly Path."

"But without a Dual Cultivation method, merely inhaling primordial Yang is simply like an ox chewing on a peony, wasting such a precious opportunity."

"Originally, with your talent, I would have recommended you save your primordial Yang until after reaching the peak of the Heavenly Path Third Level."

"At that time, I would personally go to the Su Xin Zhai to borrow the 'Great Joy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra' for you and Jiang Ningan to study together."

"Relying on the merit of the first primordial Yang, the probability of stepping into the Fourth Turn would increase by ten to twenty percent."

Outside, listening to the master's teachings, Jiang Ningan felt her body restless and uneasy; the originally crystal-clear skin on her cheeks turned fiery red.

'How could the master do this, handing me over to this fellow so easily?' Jiang Ningan, now without any state of mind for cultivation, stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.

She wanted to go in and say something, but felt too embarrassed to admit she was eavesdropping.

'And if it is Fang Can, it seems... not impossible?'

The girl was startled as soon as this thought arose, shaking her head vigorously and saying:

'No, no, no, I don't like him; even if I did, I couldn't be so casual.'

Putting aside Jiang Ningan's tsundere thoughts that would ruin her life, Liu Qingmeng stared intently at Fang Can.

To speak a few heart-to-heart words not meant for outsiders to know.

If she had met him ten or more years ago, when she was still hovering at the Third Turn of the Heavenly Path, seeing such a wild experience package wandering outside, she might have been unable to resist eating him up completely.

As for the female disciple's share?

Heh, a tsundere doesn't even get a turn at the party call-out.

"Senior, why didn't you say so earlier!" Hearing Liu Qingmeng's explanation, Fang Can's face was full of pain.

If he had known it was so precious, he would have kept it no matter what, not wasting it on mere cultivation insights.

So, is it still useful to use Rick Number Five to suck back the Anmuxi he just forced out?

"Don't rush, let me finish what I have to say," Liu Qingmeng said, suppressing her smile.

What should she do? Now she felt more and more like teasing Fang Can.

Seeing the rigid-faced boy lose his composure over just a few of her words was just as fun as it had been with Jiang Ningan when they were children.

Looking at Fang Can on the screen, Liu Qingmeng raised her index finger to explain:

"What I said before was just the general case. There are thousands of furnace vessel constitutions in the world, and every top-tier furnace vessel has its own strengths."

"Some can reach the ninth level directly from the first level of the Xuan Pass with a single cultivation absorption; others, after losing their primal yang, transform into a chastity ring that attaches to the cultivator's body to provide a buff; and of course, some permanently increase the cultivator's aptitude after being absorbed."

"And the reason you can be called the number one furnace vessel naturally has its cause," Liu Qingmeng said, playing coy.
