639: Chapter 639 Blood Soul

Yin and Yang Great Island.

Xuanyin Pavilion.

The space rippled slightly, and Liu Xuan, dressed in pale green Daoist robes, appeared behind the Stargazing Platform.

"Husband~"

"You have finally returned!"

Jiang Xingwan stood up from the prayer mat and walked gracefully toward Liu Xuan. Her expression and tone were incredibly natural, as if she were a wife awaiting her husband's return.

The words Liu Xuan originally intended to say got stuck in his throat; in the end, he simply nodded and said, "I am back!"

Jiang Xingwan's level was simply too high! With just a simple phrase, Liu Xuan felt a momentary trance, thinking she didn't have any schemes and just purely wanted him to come back to see her.

"Is my husband worried about the three branches uniting to compete for benefits?"

Jiang Xingwan waved her hand to set up a long table on the Stargazing Platform, then invited Liu Xuan to sit opposite her while asking.

Liu Xuan nodded slightly, "Revered Master, you don't seem worried at all."

Jiang Xingwan's smile paused, then she said with slight annoyance, "Didn't we agree that you would call me Wife or Xingwan? Why are you calling me Revered Master again?"

"Apologies! I am used to calling you that." Liu Xuan picked up the Spirit Wine that Jiang Xingwan had poured herself and took a sip, then changed his tone to ask, "With the three branches uniting to target us, Xingwan, why do you seem so unconcerned?"

"There is nothing to worry about," Jiang Xingwan's face returned to a gentle smile, and she said calmly, "The few of them simply want to share a bit of the benefits. My husband, you don't seem to care that much about these benefits, so it would be fine for everyone to just have a talk."

Liu Xuan played with the wine cup in his hand and said seemingly casually, "What if I don't want to talk, but instead want you to go to war with the other three branches?"

Jiang Xingwan was stunned. She stared at Liu Xuan for a moment, then smiled, "That would also be fine. Cai Xuan and Mortal World have been prominent in recent years, but in front of me, they are still juniors. If my husband is unhappy, it is only right to teach them a lesson."

The Cai Xuan and Mortal World branches suppress the Yin and Yang and Joyous Union Sect branches in terms of power, but that is only because Daoist Yin-Yang has no interest in expanding her influence.

As the only Soul Transformation Middle Stage Daoist Lord in the Joyous Union Sect, Jiang Xingwan is qualified to say such things.

"Don't be so serious! I was just joking with you earlier."

Internal strife in the Joyous Union Sect would be of no benefit to Liu Xuan and could even disrupt the entire situation in the East Sea; he just wanted to test Jiang Xingwan's attitude.

The East Sea Joyful Union Sect is the fallback position Liu Xuan has prepared; what he wants is stability, and the amount of profit is secondary.

"Xingwan is right. What I want is stability. As for the benefits, whatever can be preserved is fine; you can handle it as you see fit."

"However!" Liu Xuan's hand paused, "Lizhi is one of my Concubines; she cannot become a bargaining chip or a sacrifice."

"Not just her; the women in the Qiankun Hall cannot be easily abandoned!"

Jiang Xingwan was not surprised by this. She picked up the wine pot to refill Liu Xuan's cup and said with a smile, "I understand my husband's meaning. As long as they are within the range of the Yin and Yang Archipelago, not a single accident will happen to them."

Liu Xuan discussed all the important issues organized by You Ruo with Jiang Xingwan and asked her to handle them.

Jiang Xingwan was clever and quick-witted. Every time Liu Xuan raised an issue, she could provide the best solution after a moment of thought, sometimes even better than the result Liu Xuan had wanted.

After a conversation, Liu Xuan basically determined that Jiang Xingwan must have been paying attention to these issues all along, and the reason she delayed handling them was just to get him to come over and discuss them in person.

"Alright, I have said everything that needs to be said; you can handle the rest." Having finished discussing the important matters, Liu Xuan stood up to leave.

"Wait, my husband!" Jiang Xingwan reached out to hold Liu Xuan, then shook the exquisite Spirit Wine pot in her hand, "There is still quite a bit of this wine left; why don't we finish it before you go?"

A beauty's invitation is hard to refuse, and Liu Xuan truly could not withstand that faint, lingering trace of pleading in Jiang Xingwan's eyes.

"Fine!"

Liu Xuan sat back down and chatted with Jiang Xingwan while tasting the fine wine.

Jiang Xingwan was extremely experienced; whether it concerned the current situation of the world or the vast, ocean-like history, she had clear and unique views and insights.

As they chatted, Liu Xuan suddenly discovered that he didn't actually like eighteen-year-old pure, sweet girls that much anymore.

As the saying goes, cuteness is not worth mentioning in the face of sexiness!

How can a little girl who knows nothing compare in charm to a gentle, intellectual, and understanding big sister?

Liu Xuan was a person of depth; what he appreciated was never a superficial appearance, but a rich inner self...

While drinking the Spirit Wine and immersing himself in Jiang Xingwan's gentleness and intellect, as he drank, Liu Xuan suddenly felt that something seemed wrong.

He picked up the wine cup to carefully examine the slightly reddish wine inside and asked suspiciously, "What kind of wine is this?"

Jiang Xingwan paused slightly, her eyes drifting a bit, "It is just ordinary Spirit Wine! It is just of a higher grade."

Liu Xuan shook his head slightly. Possessing the Kunpeng Physique and being immune to all poisons, he was actually feeling his blood and Qi becoming intensely active, and his Divine Soul consciousness was inexplicably agitated.

"Did you drug me?!" Liu Xuan questioned.

"This is not poison!" Jiang Xingwan hurriedly denied it, then explained with some embarrassment, "This is the Fifth-Grade Blood Soul Immortal Brew, brewed from a Fifth-Grade Blood Soul Flower that grows inside an underwater volcano, combined with countless Heaven And Earth Treasures. It is incredibly precious; just this one pot is enough to make a Soul Transformation Early Stage Daoist Lord feel greedy..."

Liu Xuan's breathing became slightly rapid, his eyes turning a bit red, and he impatiently interrupted, "Just tell me directly what the specific effects are after drinking it."

"The Blood Soul Immortal Brew greatly nourishes blood, Qi, and the Divine Soul. After drinking it, a Cultivator can not only strengthen their Physical Body but also nourish their Divine Soul and accelerate their speed to Cultivate. The effect is much better than Medicinal Pills of the same grade, it is just..."

Jiang Xingwan did not dare to look into Liu Xuan's eyes, her voice getting lower and lower, "It is just that if one drinks too much at once, it might lead to side effects like surging blood and Qi, and increased desire."

Simply put, the Blood Soul Immortal Brew is actually a virility-enhancing wine, and the kind with a fierce medicinal effect at that.

Jiang Xingwan was also helpless; even she could only drink a small cup of the Blood Soul Immortal Brew at a time. Who knew Liu Xuan would be so fierce, drinking an entire pot before feeling anything...

The Blood Soul Immortal Brew is a type of Spirit Wine with a rather strong after-effect. Earlier, Jiang Xingwan said so much to attract Liu Xuan's attention, hoping to delay his drinking speed, but who knew that the more Liu Xuan listened to her talk, the more he drank.

How could an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord finish a pot of Fifth-Grade Blood Soul Immortal Brew?

When Liu Xuan drank the first cup, Jiang Xingwan carefully observed his reaction; seeing him drink several cups in a row without blushing or his heart rate increasing, she immediately gained a new understanding of Liu Xuan's Physique.

"Husband~"

"The Blood Soul Immortal Brew is highly nourishing and has a very strong after-effect. Do you want me to help you dissipate some of the wine's potency?"

Black and golden patterns lit up on Liu Xuan's skin, and the Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Qi surged in his originally blood-red eyes to suppress his desire. With a calm gaze, he looked at Jiang Xingwan, "If I am unwilling, wouldn't you have wasted a pot of Fifth-Grade Immortal Brew for nothing?"

Jiang Xingwan looked directly at Liu Xuan and smiled, "When used on my husband, it can never be considered a waste."
