381: Chapter 381 Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm!

"Wuu..."

Qin Shishi's delicate body trembled from the slap Ji Taichang gave her; she felt a burning pain in her buttocks, and an electric sensation instantly spread through her entire body, leaving her tingling all over.

Before she could resist further, Ji Taichang pulled her into his embrace, buried his head between the two moon-like mounds on her chest, took a deep breath of her fragrance, and revealed a wicked, satisfied smile.

"Hehehe... So soft, so fragrant!"

"Little girl, from now on, you are this Venerable One's concubine..."

Qin Shishi struggled violently, but she could not break free from Ji Taichang's restraint, and two lines of tears instantly streamed down her beautiful face.

"You damned Devil Cultivator!"

"You committed Possession on Young Master Ji, don't even think about forcing me to submit! I would rather die than let you take advantage of me!!"

With that, the Immortal Qi within Qin Shishi's body began to churn as she reversed her Cultivation Technique, intending to destroy her heart, Meridians, and Dantian to commit suicide!

"Don't!"

Ji Taichang was startled and hurriedly tapped a few points on Qin Shishi's abdomen, Seal-ing her Meridians and Acupoints to prevent her from committing suicide.

"I'm sorry, I was just joking. I haven't undergone Possession!"

"A remnant soul of a Devil Head did indeed try to commit Possession on me just now, but it was killed by my protective Magic Treasure..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shishi's expression froze.

But she still bit her lip, half-believing and half-doubting: "Don't try to lie to me! That lecherous appearance from just now was nothing like Young Master Ji! How can you prove you haven't undergone Possession?"

Ji Taichang sighed: "A few days ago, at the bottom of the hot spring, I saw a mole on your buttocks, right at..."

"Stop!"

"You bastard, you only know how to bully me! Wuu..."

Qin Shishi's face turned bright red instantly, both shy and angry, as she buried her head in Ji Taichang's chest and punched his shoulder hard.

This intense emotional rollercoaster of losing and regaining him caused her favorability toward Ji Taichang to increase instead of decrease!

[Ding! Qin Shishi's favorability increased by 15 points. Host can obtain 10% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation/ability. Please choose]

[Qin Shishi's favorability: 65 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I won't scare you again..."

Ji Taichang held Qin Shishi's delicate and lovely body in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her in a soft voice.

He had only wanted to tease Qin Shishi; he hadn't expected the girl to react so strongly.

However, through this teasing, Ji Taichang also realized that Qin Shishi truly liked him, and her personality was quite unyielding—she would rather die than submit.

After Ji Taichang comforted her for a while, Qin Shishi's emotions finally stabilized, though she still looked puffed up with anger, her cheeks bulging. Her originally beautiful and charming face gained a touch of innocence and cuteness, making her even more pleasing to the eye.

Ji Taichang looked at the stone tablet in front, activated his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, and quickly gained an initial understanding of it.

This was a Profound Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique called the "Blazing Sun Demon Suppressing Art"!

It wasn't hard to deduce that this ancient tower was likely the Demon Suppressing Tower of some ancient Sect, and the stone tablet inscribed with the Blazing Sun Demon Suppressing Art was used to suppress and Seal a Devil Head.

The skeleton beside the stone tablet was left behind by a Profound Immortal Realm Devil Head.

Ji Taichang fished out a Storage Ring and a bell forged from unknown beast bones from the skeleton. It was called the Soul Devouring Bell, a Heavenly Immortal Rank Magic Treasure specifically targeting the Primordial Spirit!

Ji Taichang refined the Storage Ring and swept it with his Divine Sense, discovering quite a few Immortal Crystals, Cultivation Techniques, some bottles and jars, as well as weapons and Magic Treasures at the Earth Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm levels.

"I'll give it to you."

Ji Taichang handed both the Storage Ring and the Soul Devouring Bell to Qin Shishi, and incidentally, orally taught her the Blazing Sun Demon Suppressing Art.

[Ding! Qin Shishi's favorability increased by 5 points. Host can obtain 10% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation/ability. Please choose]

[Qin Shishi's favorability: 70 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

A warm current surged in Qin Shishi's heart, and she was very moved.

However, she returned the Storage Ring and the Soul Devouring Bell to Ji Taichang: "These things are too precious; I cannot accept them."

"You risked your life to help me escape the Qin Family, and I have no way to repay you. Besides, you discovered these items and killed the remnant soul of the Devil Cultivator; I didn't contribute anything, and I cannot accept rewards without merit..."

Ji Taichang smiled: "Accept them. I have no use for these things anyway."

"I don't believe you. You just completed your Ascension to the Immortal Realm and have nothing. These resources are very important to you..."

No matter how Ji Taichang tried to persuade her, Qin Shishi's attitude remained firm; she refused to take them no matter what.

"What a silly girl."

Ji Taichang sighed slightly and reached out to pat Qin Shishi's head.

After searching the ancient tower, the two of them headed toward the center of the ancient city.

Since they were already here.

On the way, Ji Taichang silently thought in his heart: "System, claim Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 20% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!]

A familiar Immortal Qi surged forth, which Ji Taichang continuously absorbed and refined. Like water flowing into a channel, he broke through the shackles and stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm!

A so-called Loose Immortal is one who absorbs Immortal Qi into their body, initially shedding their mortal flesh, tempering their Immortal body, and converting their Spiritual Qi into Immortal Qi to adapt to the environment of the Immortal Realm.

However, a Loose Immortal still has residual mortal impurities and worldly shackles within them and has not yet fully transformed.

The Earth Immortal is a step further; not only does Spiritual Qi from the Immortal Realm enter the body, but they can also draw upon the power of the Immortal Realm's earth to completely wash away impurities and reshape the bones, flesh, and blood of their Immortal body!

One could see.

Ji Taichang's body shook, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to converge toward him continuously. The vast earth trembled slightly, as if an invisible power of the earth's veins was being drawn in, surging into Ji Taichang's body.

Ji Taichang's Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes and Creation Green Lotus Dao Seed awakened autonomously, greedily absorbing the Immortal Realm's Spiritual Qi and the power of the earth's veins, then feeding it back to himself to accelerate the tempering of his Immortal body!

Wisps of cyan brilliance appeared on his skin, a cyan lotus mark flickered faintly on his forehead, and mysterious Immortal light swirled in his eyes; he exuded a majestic and sacred Aura.

The residual mortal impurities and worldly shackles within him were completely cleansed, and the power of the earth's veins and the Immortal Realm's Spiritual Qi completely reshaped his Immortal body and Primordial Spirit, causing him to undergo a massive transformation.

His bones emitted a crisp, jade-like sound, transforming into lustrous white Immortal bones that were indestructible and capable of bearing the weight of mountains and rivers. His fascia shimmered with wisps of cyan brilliance, his heartbeat sounded like thunder, and as his blood circulated, it faintly emitted the momentum of a rushing great river...

The most shocking part was his foundation of cultivation.

When ordinary Cultivators break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, they only need to absorb a meager amount of earth vein Qi to easily break through.

But Ji Taichang possessed two major Immortal Dao talents, so the power required for his Breakthrough far exceeded that of ordinary people. This time, he had swallowed dozens of times more earth vein power than Cultivators of the same rank!

"This... he just broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm??"

Qin Shishi's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips slightly parted, and her little head was buzzing with shock.

Hadn't Ji Taichang only completed his Ascension a few days ago?

How could he possibly break through to the Earth Immortal Realm so quickly!

Did this bastard lie to me?

Or could it be... he really underwent Possession??

Qin Shishi was quite shaken, her heart growing anxious; she was happy for Ji Taichang, yet filled with worry!
