Cultivating To Immortality

"Hmm, Master said I possess a Wood Spirit Immortal Physique and have strong talent, so she plans to have me inherit her mantle and manage the entire Holy Land in the future," Su Shan explained.

"Wood Spirit Immortal Physique?" Fang Hong was a little confused; he had never heard of this physique.

"The Wood Spirit Immortal Physique is a very powerful wood-attribute Immortal Physique."

"People with this Physique are exceptionally sensitive to the wood-attribute Origin Qi in the world, absorbing and refining it much faster than ordinary people. Naturally, their cultivation yields twice the results with half the effort. Master also has this physique."

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank my husband for giving me a Heaven Mending Pill before, which strengthened my spiritual root and unexpectedly awakened my Wood Spirit Immortal Physique," Su Shan said with a smile.

"So that's how it is."

Fang Hong suddenly understood, and the confusion in his heart vanished.

He finally understood why Su Shan's speed of absorbing and refining spiritual energy had suddenly become so fast after taking the Heaven Mending Pill back then.

At the time, he thought something abnormal had happened to Su Shan's body and worried about it for a while, never expecting it was because she had awakened the Wood Spirit Immortal Physique.

He had originally thought the Heaven Mending Pill could only strengthen the spiritual root, but he never expected it also had the miraculous effect of awakening special physiques.

Fang Hong was a little puzzled; he had also taken the Heaven Mending Pill back then, so why hadn't he awakened any special physique?

However, on second thought, perhaps physiques differ, and the effects vary from person to person.

"This is a great thing. Since it is an Immortal Physique, then our husband and wife will both achieve Immortal Ascension and attain longevity together."

"By the way, what kind of person is your master? After all, she is a Mahayana expert with a noble status. Will she be very strict?" Fang Hong asked curiously.

"She's alright, Master is very good to me, both powerful and beautiful."

When mentioning Azure Emperor Holy Land's Holy Lord, Su Shan's face was full of admiration.

Fang Hong nodded upon hearing this, feeling a little more at ease.

He then remembered some old acquaintances and asked, "Elder Ye Yu, and Elders Luo Jie, they should have come to Azure Emperor Holy Land as well, right?"

"Yes, Master Ye Yu and the others are all serving as Elders within the sect," Su Shan replied.

Afterward, the young couple sat down in the pavilion, chatting and reminiscing.

As they chatted, Fang Hong remembered a previous question and asked, "I've always been curious, why did the experts of Azure Emperor Holy Land go to the Heavenly Profound Realm back then? Is there some precious treasure in the Heavenly Profound Realm?"

Su Shan shook her head and explained, "Elder Lin Wan went to the Heavenly Profound Realm to pursue a major criminal from within the sect, not to search for any treasures."

Fang Hong suddenly understood, so that was how it was.

He had an impression of Elder Lin Wan; he had seen her once when Yang Yuan took him to visit the sect's high-ranking members. She was also a core Elder at the Refining Void Stage, appearing graceful and possessing considerable strength.

Just as the two were immersed in their warm time of reminiscing, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Oh? Is this your young husband?"

The voice came so abruptly that both Fang Hong and Su Shan were startled. They spun around sharply, looking in the direction of the voice.

They saw a young woman in green clothes, with a beautiful face, appearing beside them.

Her hands were clasped behind her back, and a playful smile played on her lips as she looked at Fang Hong and Su Shan with great interest.

"Master, Master. Why are you here?"

When Su Shan saw the woman, her pretty face instantly changed. She quickly stood up from the stone chair, somewhat flustered, and bowed, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock flashed across Fang Hong's face. His gaze fell upon the green-clothed woman before him—she was actually Su Shan's Master?

The legendary Azure Emperor Holy Lord, a genuine Mahayana Stage expert.

Such an existence, usually elusive, had suddenly appeared here today, which was truly beyond his expectations.

Fang Hong dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly stood up from his chair and bowed, saluting.

"Junior Fang Hong greets the Holy Lord."

"Mm, you may rise." Azure Emperor Holy Lord nodded slightly, her tone flat.

No sooner had she spoken than she began to walk, slowly circling Fang Hong, her eyes fixed on him, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Uh, Master, what are you looking at?"

Su Shan was made a little nervous by her Master's actions, secretly muttering.

Is Master trying to tease husband?

Azure Emperor Holy Lord heard this, turned her head, and gently tapped her beloved disciple's head, a teasing smile on her lips.

"Look at how nervous you are. Could it be that you're afraid I'll eat your young husband?"

Su Shan's cheeks immediately flushed, and she lowered her head a little embarrassed, but then heard her Master continue.

"I'm just looking at your young husband, to see if he is truly worthy of my precious disciple."

Fang Hong stood still, feeling completely uncomfortable, not knowing where to put his hands, and not daring to speak freely.

The person before him was a Mahayana Stage expert. To say he wasn't nervous would definitely be a lie.

Even if the other party wasn't releasing any pressure at this moment, he could still feel the invisible aura.

Azure Emperor Holy Lord observed for a moment, then slowly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of approval.

"Void Refining peak cultivation, a very solid foundation, physical body strength far exceeding those of the same realm, and extremely abundant magical power within the body. Not bad, indeed not bad."

She turned to Su Shan and smiled, "Your young husband is very good."

"Void Refining peak."

When Su Shan heard these four words, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm surged in her heart.

She had thought Fang Hong only had an Early Stage Void Refining cultivation. After all, only a little over a decade had passed since their separation, yet Fang Hong had actually soared all the way to Void Refining peak. This cultivation speed was simply terrifying.

Could it be that her husband also possessed some rare Immortal Physique?

Otherwise, how could he have crossed two major realms in such a short time?

Fang Hong, on the other hand, secretly marveled in his heart. As expected of a Mahayana Stage expert, her insight was truly sharp. She had seen through his cultivation details at a glance, even clearly discerning the condition of his physical body and magical power.

Just then, Azure Emperor Holy Lord seemed to discover something unusual. With a hint of curiosity, she looked at Fang Hong and asked.

"However, there is one thing that is a bit strange."

"You seem to have a True Dragon's power hidden within your body, with a pure and domineering aura. Could it be that you once encountered a True Dragon?"

Fang Hong's heart stirred, and he candidly explained, "Junior once explored an ancient ruin and accidentally obtained several spirit pills containing Dragon Qi there."

"After consuming them, I was fortunate enough to absorb some True Dragon's power from them, but I did not directly encounter a True Dragon."

After speaking, Fang Hong took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, held it with both hands, and offered it to Azure Emperor Holy Lord, respectfully continuing.

"Junior heard that Senior primarily cultivates wood-attribute cultivation technique. Coincidentally, Junior here has a bottle of wood-attribute Dragon Blood, which might be of some help to Senior."
