299: Tier 4, Top-Tier, Love Poison

"Hum~"

Big Black Ox manifested a black barrier on its head. Eldest Son's punch, containing all his strength, smashed onto the barrier. Aside from causing a ripple, it caused no damage.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

Eldest Son threw countless punches in an instant, hitting Big Black Ox from different angles.

For the first few punches, the black barrier appeared on Big Black Ox to block them, but later, it just let the punches land on its thick fur.

Not only was this guy uninjured, but looking at its eyes, it was actually exceptionally enjoying it!

Big Black Ox possessed the Bloodline of a Fourth Grade Ancient Desolate Savage Bull, and its cultivation had long reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although Eldest Son was strong, he couldn't reach the level to hurt it.

This guy was thick-skinned, had high defense, and immense strength. When Eldest Son was in seclusion in the Star Space, he liked to spar with it the most, or rather, use it as a punching bag.

Eldest Son had broken through to the Late Stage of Body Refining. Judging by the Aura of his movements just now, his combat power was close to Qi Refining Perfection. If he launched a surprise close-quarters attack, even someone at Qi Refining Perfection wouldn't be his match.

"Father! This Cultivation Technique can really continue to break through the martial arts Realm. I clearly haven't broken through to the Late Qi Refining Stage, yet my strength has increased countless times!"

Eldest Son stopped sparring with Big Black Ox and came to Liu Xuan's side, saying excitedly.

There were no Body Cultivators in this Cultivation World, and Liu Xuan had never detailed the situation of the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method. Eldest Son just thought he had broken through to a higher martial arts Realm.

Liu Xuan nodded and patted his shoulder. "You are now at the Grandmaster Realm, equivalent to the Late Qi Refining Stage. If you continue to Cultivate, you will reach the Great Grandmaster Realm. By then, your Physical Body will undergo Foundation Establishment, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator."

Body Refining Cultivation Techniques were hard to explain, so Liu Xuan simply referred to it as a martial arts Realm; this way, it was easier for others to accept.

"Great Grandmaster?" Eldest Son's eyes shone with intense interest.

"The martial arts Cultivation Technique is unique to our family; do not expose it easily. Once your martial arts Realm reaches the Great Grandmaster level, it will be of great help to your Breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Next, you should break through to the Late Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible; that way, it will be easier to cover up.

After you break through to the Late Qi Refining Stage, first learn the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming. Then, I will let Big Black Ox become your natal spirit beast, which can help you break through faster."

Liu Xuan valued his Eldest Son, Eldest Son, very much and had arranged everything for him. He only needed to follow the steps to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm soon.

"By the way, have you understood the three Cultivation Techniques of the clan? Are you continuing to Cultivate the Green Wood Longevity Method, or switching to the other two?" Liu Xuan asked.

"The Green Wood Longevity Method does not suit me; I have already switched to cultivating the Kun Yuan Earth Control Art."

"Why not learn the Geng Metal Sword Control Art?"

In the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sword Cultivators were dominant. Under this subtle influence, the most people chose to Cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Control Art.

The Geng Metal Sword Control Art was a Fourth Grade Low Grade Cultivation Technique, one grade higher than the other two, so Liu Xuan was happy with that.

He was a bit puzzled that Eldest Son didn't choose the Geng Metal Sword Control Art but instead switched to the Kun Yuan Earth Control Art.

"I have no talent for the sword dao, so the Geng Metal Sword Control Art does not suit me. On the contrary, the Kun Yuan Earth Control Art strangely resonates with me and is easier to comprehend."

"Alright then!" Liu Xuan did not force it and nodded. "If you encounter difficulties, come ask me."

He threw a Storage Pouch to him. "There are one thousand Spirit Stones in here. You can buy whatever you need, just don't waste them. When you break through to the Late Qi Refining Stage, Father will give you another gift!"

"Many thanks, Father!"

Eldest Son accepted it happily. Between father and son, he didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan gave some more instructions and handled small matters before leaving the Star Space.

...

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the 263rd offspring, with Grade 3 Spiritual Root. Obtained special Gu insect: Love Gu.]

[Love Gu: Fourth Grade Top Tier special Gu insect. Can be used on a member of the opposite sex to make the other party develop romantic feelings for the Host. The effect depends on the cultivation gap between the target and the Host.]

[Used on a member of the opposite sex with lower cultivation than the Host: The other party will immediately fall in love with the Host, unable to extricate themselves, and become the Host's humble simp.]

[Used on a member of the opposite sex with the same cultivation as the Host: The other party will immediately like the Host and be willing to help the Host in most matters.]

[Used on a member of the opposite sex within one major Realm higher than the Host: The other party will develop a good impression of the Host, cannot actively harm the Host, and will be happy to help the Host.]

[Used on a member of the opposite sex within two major Realms higher than the Host: The other party will find the Host pleasing to the eye...]

[Note: The cultivation gap between the target and the Host must not exceed two major Realms. The maximum cultivation of the target must not exceed the Perfected Nascent Soul.]

"This..."

There was too much information, and Liu Xuan couldn't figure out for a moment whether this Love Gu was a good thing or not.

It could only be used on one person, the effect wasn't as overbearing as the Puppet Gu, and there was a maximum cultivation limit. It looked far worse than the Puppet Gu.

However, this thing also had advantages. It could be used silently, and as long as one's cultivation hadn't reached the Soul Transformation Realm, it could be used on anyone.

Including the two-major-Realm cultivation limit, Liu Xuan was now at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, close to Perfection, so he could use it on those at the Late Nascent Soul Stage and below.

According to the System's description, if he used it on a member of the opposite sex below the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he could directly make the other party his simp, the kind willing to die for him.

If used on a Golden Core True Person within the Late Golden Core Stage, the other party would involuntarily like him, couldn't do anything to harm him, and would actively help him do things.

If used on a Nascent Soul True Lord within the Late Nascent Soul Stage, it could also make the other party find him pleasing.

"A divine skill for latching onto a backer!"

The only drawback was that it could only be used on one member of the opposite sex, and it couldn't be reused. Love represented loyalty and uniqueness.

'This is tricky!'

"Who should I use it on?"

An Yunxi? She didn't need it; this girl already liked him a bit, so there was no need to waste it, and her cultivation was too low.

Her sister, An Yunmiao? This was a very good choice. With Perfected Golden Core Stage cultivation, Liu Xuan would strive to break through to Peak Foundation Establishment first, which could keep him within the one-major-Realm cultivation gap, maximizing the effect.

An Yunmiao's background was big enough; making her like him would be a huge step up!

But the problem was her background was too big. He had heard from An Yunxi that her sister was someone favored by a Soul Transformation big shot. Using it on her carried the risk of being seen through by the big shot.

There was another option: he could use it on his cheap Revered Master, Shen Yunshu. She was one of the four Sword-Wielders of the Heavenly Sword Sect. By holding tight to her thigh, Liu Xuan would find it incredibly convenient to do things in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Although the benefits weren't as great as using it on An Yunmiao, it had the advantage of low risk, with almost no possibility of being discovered.

Besides that, there was a way to maximize profits, which was not to use it yet, wait until his cultivation broke through to the Golden Core Stage, and then directly find a female Nascent Soul True Lord to use it on...

The Love Gu had a lot of room for operation, and Liu Xuan couldn't decide how to use it for a moment.

Anyway, this thing would increase in value as Liu Xuan's cultivation improved. An Yunmiao and Shen Yunshu were not by his side right now, so after much thought, Liu Xuan decided it was better to keep it for now.
