704: Chapter 704 The Main Soul of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner

"Husband, have you thought of a way to break this deadlock?" Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King asked anxiously.

"No rush!"

Liu Xuan smiled, then took a pot of glowing red xuanyang immortal brew that radiated heat from his spatial ring.

"Let's drink first and talk while we drink."

With life and death at stake, how could Ghost King Lian Yue have the leisure to drink? She looked anxious, "But... hmm?"

Suddenly! The wine pot opened, and a pure, gentle force of Pure Yang Qi mixed with the fragrance of wine drifted into her nostrils.

She leaned her petite nose in to sniff, surprised, "Is this spirit wine made from ten-thousand-year mystic yang flower brew?"

"Where did you get so many ten-thousand-year mystic yang flowers?"

Ghost King Lian Yue felt the same doubt as Jiang Xingwan had initially. Over these years, Liu Xuan had sold her two ten-thousand-year mystic yang flowers in total. Including this pot of spirit wine, Liu Xuan had obtained at least three ten-thousand-year mystic yang flowers, and there were also countless mystic yang soul-condensing flowers aged between three thousand and nine thousand years.

As the saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times. One or two could be called accidental gains, but three could not be explained by accident; Liu Xuan truly had some channel for obtaining high-grade spirit materials.

"Don't be so surprised, it's all grown at home, there will be more later!"

Saying this half-true, half-false perfunctory remark, Liu Xuan put his arm around Ghost King Lian Yue and walked towards the room, saying as they walked, "Your husband is proficient in the Dao of divination. Today happens to be an auspicious day; why don't we officially become Dao Companions?"

"This... we are currently in the Buddhist formation, potentially facing life-and-death danger at any moment, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"How about, wait until I escape the danger, then..."

Liu Xuan extended a finger to interrupt Ghost King Lian Yue, then poured wine while saying:

"There is nothing inappropriate about it. I, Liu Xuan, have always only treated my own people well. Let's establish our relationship first; that way, I will do my best, and you can rest easy. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

"But..."

Ghost King Lian Yue still wanted to say something, but Liu Xuan had already brought the wine cup to her lips.

"Come, let us husband and wife drink the nuptial cup!"

Liu Xuan raised his wine cup, then crossed his arm with Ghost King Lian Yue's hand that was holding her cup.

Ghost King Lian Yue was very confused; she had never seen this way of drinking, but she did not resist, instead learning from Liu Xuan and drinking the xuanyang immortal brew.

As the warm xuanyang immortal brew slid down her throat, Ghost King Lian Yue's beautiful eyes immediately lit up. It was better than any spirit wine she had ever drunk before. The gentle force of Pure Yang Qi contained within it permeated her entire body, making her soul body slightly warm, and her cultivation automatically began to circulate.

"It's good, right?"

Liu Xuan picked up the wine pot and poured her another cup, "mystic yang soul-condensing flowers are most suitable for you ghost cultivators to drink, it's just that I couldn't bear to give them to you before."

Ghost King Lian Yue nodded. This xuanyang immortal brew nourished the Divine Soul, had a gentle effect, and contained the Yang Qi that ghost cultivators could also absorb; for her, it was comparable to a supreme Spirit Pill.

After drinking one cup, there was another. Just as Ghost King Lian Yue finished and saw Liu Xuan intending to continue pouring for her, she hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Enough, enough, such immortal brew needs to be digested slowly; drinking too much at once is too wasteful!"

"Rest assured, it won't be wasted!"

Liu Xuan ignored her dissuasion and continued to fill the wine cup, laughing, "I will help you Cultivate in a while, drink more now, lest you lack stamina later."

"Help me Cultivate?"

Ghost King Lian Yue's hand trembled, her face slightly flushed, and she stammered, "Must it... be so... so fast?"

"Fast?" Liu Xuan picked up his wine cup and drained it in one gulp, then said sternly, "I am also doing this for your sake. Otherwise, with my steady and composed personality, I wouldn't be this rushed at all."

After finishing, Liu Xuan threw away the wine cup and pulled Ghost King Lian Yue into his embrace.

"Time is tight, drinking with a wine cup is too slow, let me feed you instead!"

He lowered his head and kissed Ghost King Lian Yue's light pink thin lips, then directly used the wine pot to pour wine into her mouth.

"Gulp, gulp~"

Ghost King Lian Yue hugged Liu Xuan's arm, swallowing in large gulps. The fifth-grade immortal brew was precious; she didn't want to waste a single drop.

After all, the xuanyang immortal brew was up to the fifth grade. Although the Pure Yang Qi contained within it was gentle, Ghost King Lian Yue couldn't handle it if she drank too much at once.

Her originally icy body began to heat up slightly, and wisps of Yang Qi dissipated, as her body simply couldn't absorb it in time.

"It's too wasteful!"

Ghost King Lian Yue glared at Liu Xuan, annoyed, and said in a somewhat coquettish manner.

"It's not wasteful!"

"If it weren't like this, I'm afraid you'd suck my Yang Qi dry later!"

Having said that, Liu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her again. Unlike the light taste just now, this time he mobilized his entire body's blood energy and circulated the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique.

"Boom!"

A roar sounded within Ghost King Lian Yue's Divine Soul. As the majestic Pure Yang Qi surged, her already dizzy head immediately turned into a state of Chaos.

The moonlight of Lianyue Immortal Palace converged, gathering onto Liu Xuan and Ghost King Lian Yue, wrapping them both within it.

After a long time, Ghost King Lian Yue's consciousness slowly returned. Her Divine Soul felt as comfortable as if it were soaking in a hot spring.

"Husband~"

She looked at Liu Xuan, clearly feeling a stream of Pure Yang Qi, even purer than the ten-thousand-year mystic yang soul-condensing flower, being absorbed by her.

"Don't get distracted, Cultivate properly, feel it with your heart!" Liu Xuan urged.

"Mm!"

Ghost King Lian Yue nodded slightly, feeling that within the Yin and Yang Fusion, a point of pure yang was condensing and taking root in her Divine Soul.

Ghost cultivators are born because of the yin fiend and are naturally yin-attributed. Normally speaking, no matter how much Yang Qi they devour or how many spirit items like the ten-thousand-year mystic yang soul-condensing flower they refine, it only utilizes the gentle Pure Yang Qi to nourish the yin soul; the essentially pure yin soul cannot be changed.

But now, this impossibility had become possible. Through Yin and Yang Fusion, where yin reaches its extreme, yang is born; a seed of pure yang had actually been born within her pure yin soul.

Just by virtue of this seed of pure yang, it was higher in level than any Opportunity she had obtained before. The Late-stage Spirit Transformation Bottleneck was just a matter of time.

'You Ruo didn't lie to me, nor did she exaggerate. Absorbing Liu Xuan's Yang Qi is truly comparable to taking an Immortal Pill!'

'If I hadn't been so cautious back then and had followed You Ruo to marry Liu Xuan when she entered the Liu residence, I would probably have already advanced to a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Ghost Emperor by now!'

One hour later.

The Cultivation ended.

Ghost King Lian Yue's eyes were bright. The previous worry and hesitation were swept away, and she felt a sense of rebirth.

Liu Xuan, however, was quite disappointed. He had thought he could help Ghost King Lian Yue make a Breakthrough to Late-stage Spirit Transformation in one go, and all problems would be solved, but things were not that simple. The Late-stage Spirit Transformation was not that easy to break through to.

A seed of pure yang had been born in Ghost King Lian Yue's soul, her potential had increased, and the Bottleneck had weakened, but she was still far from a Breakthrough. It could take as little as three to five years, or as long as thirty to fifty years.

"Husband, you are even stronger than I imagined!"

"Now that my soul has given birth to yang properties, the suppressive effect of the Buddhist light on me has weakened. If we husband and wife join forces, I have a seventy percent chance of breaking the formation and escaping."

Liu Xuan waved his hand, "Seventy percent is too low. I don't like taking risks when I do things."

He opened his right palm, and a black banner appeared. In the center of the fluttering banner was an ancient mirror, with eerie flames burning silently.

"Wife, I have a method that might be able to resolve your current predicament, but it requires you to agree to one condition."

"What condition?" Ghost King Lian Yue asked in confusion.

Liu Xuan waved his hand, and the ten thousand soul banner flew into Ghost King Lian Yue's hand, "I want you to become the Main Soul of this ten thousand soul banner!"
