238: Chapter 238 Real Matters

On the other side, on the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The Emerald-gold flames on Qin Canglan's body finally began to slowly recede.

After the phantom of the Ancient Green Phoenix, with wings stretching dozens of zhang, let out one final high-pitched cry,

it transformed into a streak of Emerald-gold light and accurately merged into Qin Canglan's forehead.

Immediately, an exquisite Emerald-gold Green Phoenix mark appeared on her smooth forehead.

The modification was perfectly completed.

Cao Kun stood three zhang away, waiting to see the results.

Then, he was dazed by what he saw.

The original Qin Canglan was already the type of woman who made men unable to walk away.

She possessed the elegant bearing of someone long in a high position, coupled with an indelible charm in her bones.

Just standing there was enough to make one's blood pressure soar.

But now...

After fusing with the Green Phoenix Bloodline, her entire being seemed to be enveloped in an invisible layer of Holy Light.

Her skin was so lustrous it was almost transparent, and there was a touch more composed and elegant nobility in her eyes.

Inviolable sacred dignity and her innate charm were perfectly interwoven.

It was as if a goddess had descended to the mortal world, yet was born with a pair of soul-hooking eyes.

Only two words remained in Cao Kun's mind.

Holy shit.

No, it was six words.

Holy shit, I can't take it.

A dignified and sacred version of a vixen.

This was simply the ultimate weapon against men.

Who wouldn't hand over their Storage Ring on the spot after seeing this?

“Husband?”

Seeing Cao Kun staring at her in a daze, Qin Canglan tilted her head slightly.

This simple action, paired with her dignified yet charmingly beautiful face, immediately caused Cao Kun's Blazing Sun Spiritual Root to show signs of restlessness again.

No rush.

Check the modification effects first.

Cao Kun forcibly suppressed his stray thoughts and cleared his throat.

“How do you feel?”

Hearing this, Qin Canglan turned her gaze inward and began to inspect herself.

The spiritual power circulation in her Meridians was smoother than ever before.

But what shocked her the most wasn't this.

“This... how is this possible?”

Qin Canglan looked down at her hands in disbelief.

“The hidden injuries in my Meridians... they're all healed?!”

Back then, in order to secure her position as the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect as quickly as possible, she had been too eager for success during her cultivation.

Although she successfully broke through several major Realms, she also left behind many hidden injuries deep within her Meridians.

These hidden injuries had existed for years and had almost fused with her Meridians.

She had consulted countless Alchemy masters and medical cultivators, and the answer was always the same.

Unless she could find a Supreme expert at the Mahayana Stage to personally intervene, these hidden injuries would accompany her for a lifetime.

But now.

Those old ailments that had plagued her for centuries were actually burned clean under the baptism of the Fire of Qingluan.

It was like she had changed into a "brand new" body.

Not only that,

the spiritual power pool in her Dantian had expanded to a critical point, and her cultivation barrier was visibly loosening.

The Early Void Refinement Stage was within reach.

“Just what kind of Physique is this...”

Qin Canglan looked up, and in her eyes looking at Cao Kun, there was not only emotion but also deep shock.

She had lived for so many years and had seen countless rare treasures.

But a Heaven-Defying Physique that could heal old hidden injuries, reshape the Foundation, and even trigger a cultivation Breakthrough all at once...

It was unheard of.

Cao Kun watched from the side with satisfaction.

It's only right that you're moved.

Every gift Master Cao gives you isn't for free.

Interest will be charged.

“How do you feel? Do you feel like your body is brand new, with inexhaustible strength?”

Qin Canglan was both annoyed and amused by his rogue-like yet proud expression.

But more than that, a wave of warmth surged from the bottom of her heart.

She thought that in his heart, she might just be a capable tool.

But now.

This little rascal used his actions to tell her that he remembered her contributions.

And the reward he gave her far exceeded her imagination.

Qin Canglan took a deep breath, stepped out, and walked toward Cao Kun.

Her plump and graceful figure, set against the Emerald-gold afterglow, swayed with every step.

Walking up to Cao Kun,

she naturally raised her jade-like arms and hooked them around his neck.

Her voice was lazy, with a charm that made one's bones feel soft.

“Husband has given such a heavy reward.”

“How should I... repay you?”

Hearing this "I" from the mouth of the dignified Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect,

paired with her dignified, sacred, and charming appearance,

the lethality was instantly maxed out.

Cao Kun felt the blood in his veins boiling.

“How to repay?”

He gave a wicked laugh and reached out to pull this warm, fragrant jade into his arms.

“Naturally, it's by maximizing the effects of this Green Phoenix Resonance Dao Body.”

“Ah!”

Qin Canglan let out a soft cry, her jade hands pressing against Cao Kun's chest.

“Husband, you're in a hurry again...”

Though she said that, she had no intention of struggling at all.

She wanted to show all her charm to

the man behind her.

The Chaos Unity Art began to circulate between the two of them on its own.

At this moment, the special effects of the Green Phoenix Resonance Dao Body were finally fully released.

Wherever it passed,

the subtle fatigue and Impurities remaining deep in Cao Kun's muscles, bones, and Meridians—due to frequent battles, forcibly enduring the Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation, and continuously using the Five Emperors Origin True Body—

were stripped away and burned clean, bit by bit, by the Fire of Qingluan.

Completely clean.

Not a trace left.

Cao Kun felt as if his entire being was soaked in a top-tier spiritual spring hot bath.

That feeling of comfort permeating from the marrow of his bones almost made him unable to hold back a groan.

So refreshing.

This was simply more effective than any top-grade Spirit Pill.

After being purified, his spiritual power became even more refined and condensed, and every meridian was unobstructed.

His cultivation Foundation, which was originally a bit rough because he broke through too quickly, was polished to be round and flawless under the nourishment of the Fire of Qingluan.

His Early Void Refinement Stage cultivation was completely stabilized.

And the benefits on Qin Canglan's side were even more direct.

The Late Soul Transformation Stage barrier, which was already crumbling,

shattered with a bang under the internal and external pincer attack of the Chaos Qi and the Green Phoenix Origin.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured in, constantly surging into Qin Canglan's body.

“Mmm... a Breakthrough...”

Accompanied by an irrepressible soft cry,

Qin Canglan's cultivation naturally broke through the shackles of the Late Soul Transformation Stage.

She officially entered the Early Void Refinement Stage.

...

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Qin Canglan curled up lazily in Cao Kun's arms.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were misty.

In her gaze looking at Cao Kun, only obsession and total devotion remained.

Cao Kun had one hand behind his head and the other gently pinching Qin Canglan's rosy cheek.

“Sect Master, this level of professional skill would be top-notch even in the Central Province.”

Qin Canglan's mouth pouted from the pinching, and she gave him a coy, reproachful look.

“What professional skill... not a single serious word ever comes out of your mouth.”

“These words are very serious.”

Cao Kun nodded solemnly.

“Seeking truth from facts and giving objective evaluations is the most basic virtue of being a person.”

Qin Canglan was amused and burst into laughter. She raised her hand to hit him, but her arm was so sore she couldn't use any strength at all.

In the end, it just rested weakly on his chest.

After a moment of tenderness,

Cao Kun briskly put on his Daoist robe and got up from the couch.

Seeing his quick movements, Qin Canglan rolled over and asked lazily,

“Leaving already?”

“Yeah, there are things to do outside.”

Cao Kun patted Qin Canglan's smooth, fair back.

“You've just broken through to the Early Void Refinement Stage, and your Realm isn't fully stable yet. First, solidify your Foundation on the first floor.”

“When you feel your cultivation is solid, go directly to the second floor.”

“The second floor has Law fragments. Combined with your Green Phoenix Resonance Dao Body's extreme affinity for Wind and Fire Laws, your efficiency will at least triple.”

Qin Canglan propped up half her body and looked at him resentfully:

“Sending me off to Cultivate so soon?”

“Didn't you just say you were going to personally give out a bonus?”

“And now you're just discarding me after using me?”

“Grand Elder Cao, you're truly heartless.”

Cao Kun's mouth twitched.

Once this woman's taming value was maxed out, her acting spoiled was truly deadly.

Both seductive and charming.

He walked to the door, looked back, and chuckled:

“Sect Master, take it easy.”

“If you keep dawdling, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this Immortal Cave for the next three months.”

Qin Canglan's pretty face turned red, and she grabbed a soft pillow and threw it at him: “Get out!”

Qin Canglan
