83: Girl is jealous, wood spirit body

Beside them, Lu Yichan stepped through the main gate of the Deng Residence, and as she watched the intimate interaction between the two women and the man, she felt both jealousy and surprise.

“Husband?”

“They actually called Young Master ‘Husband’?”

“What’s going on?”

“Even a favored daughter of Heaven like her wasn’t qualified to marry Young Master, so what right do these two country bumpkins have?”

At this moment, she had already realized that both women had ordinary Physiques; one had an Opening Meridian Realm cultivation, which was barely acceptable, but the other was simply too much—she was a Mortal!

“A mere Mortal, worthy of Young Master’s favor?”

“What did this woman rely on?”

The two women were indeed beautiful, considered top-tier in this small city, but they were still a level below her.

“How could two such unremarkable women become Young Master’s wives or concubines?”

“Then she would be at too great a disadvantage!”

At this moment, both women noticed the stunning young girl beside them. While amazed, Deng Fuxi proactively asked, “Young Master, who is this elder sister? Is she your companion?”

While she asked, she could roughly guess in her heart that a woman brought home by Young Master, and so beautiful, was most likely his Dao Companion.

Lin Yuan introduced, “Her name is Lu Yichan. She is the daughter of the Great River City Lord and possesses a Star Destiny Bone. She is now an Inner Sect Disciple of the Cloud Ripple Sect. You can call her elder sister.”

Upon hearing this, the two women understood and immediately bowed with cupped hands.

“This humble girl, Ye Ling’er, greets Elder Sister Lu.”

“This humble girl, Deng Fuxi, greets Elder Sister Lu.”

“She actually possesses a Star Destiny Bone! And she’s an Inner Sect Disciple!”

“This woman surpasses them in both appearance and talent!”

“Even such an excellent woman has been taken. Husband is truly amazing!”

The two women had long been prepared for new sisters, so they didn’t feel jealous or resentful. Instead, they worshipped Lin Yuan even more, while also feeling a strong sense of inferiority.

In front of Lu Yichan, they were like wild pheasants facing a Phoenix, not daring to harbor any thoughts of vying for favor.

“And with more Fairy beauties like this in the future, will they not be neglected by Husband?”

For a moment, both women felt a strong sense of crisis.

Lu Yichan nodded slightly, biting her lip and smiling faintly, “Hello, younger sisters. I heard Young Master say you were lovely and beautiful. Now that I see you, it’s truly well-deserved.”

Deng Fuxi quickly shook her head, “Elder Sister is joking. In front of you, how can we speak of beauty? You are a favored daughter of Heaven with a Destiny Bone. We are merely humble commoners.”

Ye Ling’er said reverently, “Elder Sister is beautiful, highly talented, and comes from a good family. We can’t compare to Elder Sister in any aspect.”

“What good is being better? She still isn’t qualified for a true title.”

Sighing inwardly, Lu Yichan forced a smile, “I merely have a slightly better background; there’s nothing to be proud of. Younger sisters, there’s no need to belittle yourselves. Since we are all Young Master’s women, our status is the same. There’s no high or low distinction. Please take care of me in the future.”

“Young Master?”

When the two women heard this address, their expressions showed some surprise.

Even commoners like them had married Lin Yuan, yet the other party hadn't married him yet?

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Lin Yuan interjected, “As Chan’er said, from now on, you are a family. You should address each other as sisters and get along well. No squabbling, understand?”

“Understood!”

Three sweet voices rang out simultaneously. Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction and walked into the Deng Residence.

Since the league championship reward was already in hand, it was time to tally it.

Inside the Cultivation room.

He took out a palm-sized wooden piece from his Storage Pouch. It was dark purple all over, with ancient patterns, and emitted a unique, mellow woody scent.

“Is this the purple cloud agarwood? It truly looks extraordinary.”

He carefully examined the wooden piece in his hand, unable to help but exclaim.

“The Purple Cloud Ancient Tree is one of the Seven Great Sacred Trees, renowned throughout the myriad worlds. The tree contains an extremely vast wood-attribute Origin Qi. Don’t underestimate the small piece of wood in your hand; its power is quite formidable.”

With a flash of light, Ao Ling霜, dressed in a green dress, appeared beside the young man and spoke with her lips parting.

“Seven Great Sacred Trees!”

Although he didn’t know why it was called that, it sounded very powerful.

Lin Yuan didn’t delve deeper but asked directly, “Then how should I refine this item? Should I consume it directly?”

Ao Ling霜 rolled her eyes, “That would be too wasteful. To maximize the absorption of the ancient tree’s energy, you first need to compress and temper it with Origin Qi until it forms a small wooden pellet. Then it will be complete.”

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, “Thank you, Sister Shuang, for clarifying. Let’s begin tempering it now.”

“Wait.”

“What is it?”

“Perhaps we can use this wood to forge a Wood Spirit Treasure Body for you.”

“Wood Spirit Treasure Body? Sister Shuang, do you mean I can obtain a Wood Spirit Treasure Body through this thing?”

“Yes.”

Upon receiving a positive reply, Lin Yuan’s eyes widened, and a storm surged in his heart.

That was the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, one of the Five Elements Treasure Bodies!

Although a Treasure Body was the lowest-grade among all Physiques, it was still far stronger than a Mortal Body.

Cao Jun’s ability to enter the top four of the Outer Sect Competition with his Golden Spirit Treasure Body was sufficient proof of this.

And now, the other party actually said she could help him forge a Treasure Body? This was too incredible, wasn’t it?

“Sister Shuang, are you serious?”

“Naturally, I am serious.”

“But I already have the Nine Yang Divine Meridian. Can I still obtain a Treasure Body?”

“Of course. A Divine Vein is Meridian power, and a Physique is flesh and blood power. The two do not conflict. On the contrary, their powers can be superimposed, which can greatly enhance your combat strength.”

“That’s wonderful!”

Lin Yuan cheered excitedly.

He could already fight across a major Realm with just his Divine Vein. If he added a Treasure Body, wouldn’t he be Heaven-Defying?

Ao Ling霜, however, said, “To forge a Wood Spirit Treasure Body, the piece of wood you have isn’t enough. You’ll need another piece.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan’s joy faded, replaced by worry. “purple cloud agarwood is extremely precious. It’s already lucky to get one piece. How can I find a second?”

“Little fool, doesn’t your Chan’er have a piece? Just take hers.”

The league rewards were distributed by number of participants, so Lu Yichan also received an identical share.

Lin Yuan hesitated, “Taking someone else’s things by force, won’t that be a bit bad?”

“She is your woman. Her things are your things. What’s bad about that? Besides, if it weren’t for our help, she would have already died in the mountain range, so how could she have gotten an award?”

“You’re right. I’ll have her come over now.”

Lin Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately used his spiritual sense to summon her.

In the hall, Lu Yichan was chatting with the two younger sisters when she suddenly heard the man’s voice, so she rose and hurried to the Cultivation room.
