55: Chapter 55 The Shock of Modern Technology! The Ice Silkworm Black Silk for the Elder

Dealing with that tsundere Revered Master was even more exhausting than dealing with ten protagonists of Luck. However, being able to see Fei Yuechan's expression of shame, anger, and jealous pouting from afar made this bit of guilt worth it.

Gu Yi picked up the tea that had long since gone cold on the table and took a sip, calming his turbulent state of mind.

He turned his head, and by the cold moonlight filtering in from outside the window, he glanced at Junior Sister Lin Wanying, who was sleeping soundly while hugging a pillow on the bed. A hint of softness appeared in his deep eyes.

The long night was still young, but Junior Sister had already exhausted her spiritual power to the point of depletion, so naturally, he could not bother her any further.

Gu Yi withdrew his gaze and sank his consciousness into his dark Sea of Consciousness, skillfully summoning the System panel that only he could see.

Gu Yi navigated with ease to the Daily Intimacy product category.

His gaze quickly swept over rows of strange-looking props with various functions, finally resting on an item that exuded an exotic and novel beauty.

"Ice Silkworm Silk Black Stockings": Woven from the crystal-clear silk produced by ten-thousand-year polar ice silkworms, supplemented by ancient secret techniques. Effect: The entire piece presents a semi-transparent, dark black luster with astonishing elasticity, and the texture feels like a second layer of skin. This item contains no defensive Formation and has no value in combat, but it can perfectly outline and enhance the lines of the legs.

Exchange price: 300 Villain Points.

Looking at this intimate item that was so different from the style of the classical cultivation world and carried a strong "modern feel," Gu Yi's mind almost instantly conjured up the image of Liu Qingwan's long, voluptuous jade legs that had once tightly wrapped around his waist and abdomen on the roof tiles.

If this thing were worn by that female Elder, who appeared carefree but was actually full of mature charm, its lethality would definitely be comparable to a high-level illusion Formation.

"Exchange." Gu Yi muttered in his heart.

Accompanied by a crisp payment notification sound, a light, dark black fabric that felt warm to the touch appeared out of thin air in Gu Yi's palm.

This fabric was as thin as a cicada's wing, with almost no weight in his hand, but under the refraction of the dim light in the guest room, it gleamed with a delicate and luxurious silk luster.

Just as Gu Yi was gently rubbing this novel prop with his fingertips, a charming and bone-melting sound of wonder came from the Soul-Nourishing Wood deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Oh, my little nemesis, what is this strange object in your hand? This fabric is so sparse that it couldn't even stop a fly. If you call it a Dharma garment, it doesn't even have the most basic dust-repelling Formation pattern. Have you been swindled?"

The Dao Integration Stage remnant soul Ji Meier had awakened at some point. Through Gu Yi's Divine Sense, she curiously examined the dark black silk fabric.

As a former great Devil King who once shook the Central Plains, Ji Meier's vision was incredibly sharp. She only had to deduce the way this item was worn in her Sea of Consciousness for a moment before her bewitching voice instantly rose by several octaves, filled with irrepressible excitement.

"Oh my, oh my... your mind is truly wild! If this dark, semi-transparent material were wrapped tightly around a female cultivator's legs, the snowy white skin intertwined with the dark threads, that kind of now-you-see-it-now-you-don't visual impact... tsk tsk, it's simply a peerless Sharp Weapon for captivating souls!"

Ji Meier laughed until she shook in the Sea of Consciousness, her words full of urging, clearly enjoying the spectacle and wanting things to get even more chaotic.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! My little nemesis, just thinking about it makes this sister unable to hold back. Take this treasure quickly and go find that voluptuous drunkard next door to test it out. This sister will stay in the Sea of Consciousness tonight and properly observe and learn from your methods!"

Gu Yi impatiently cut off most of Ji Meier's sensory sharing in his heart, lest this temptress scream too loudly later and disturb his concentration.

He straightened his moon-white robe, tucked the Ice Silkworm Silk Black Stockings into his wide sleeve, pushed open the door, and walked with light footsteps into the silent inn corridor.

The night at Tingjian Pavilion was exceptionally quiet and secluded. The wall lamps on both sides of the corridor emitted a dim, yellowish glow.

Gu Yi arrived in front of the neighboring guest room, raised his hand, and knocked three times on the carved wooden door, neither too lightly nor too heavily.

Not long after, a faint sound of shuffling soft-soled shoes came from inside the room.

With a soft creak, the door was pulled open a crack.

Liu Qingwan was wearing a loose, light gray sleeping robe, her hair casually swept up behind her head with a wooden hairpin.

Her peach-blossom eyes still held a hint of sleepy haze, and she was still holding that emerald-green wine gourd that never left her side; she had clearly just woken up from a nap after meditating to regulate her breath.

Seeing that it was Gu Yi standing outside the door, the guard in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a lazy smile.

"What are you doing knocking on this Elder's door in the middle of the night instead of accompanying your delicate Junior Sister?" Liu Qingwan stepped aside to let Gu Yi into the room, her tone laced with casual teasing, mixed with a hint of faint jealousy.

Gu Yi closed the door behind him, cutting off the view from the corridor, and sat down at the round table in the room.

He looked at Liu Qingwan's fair calves, which were partially visible due to her loose sleeping robe, and a look of upright, gentlemanly integrity appeared on his face.

"I noticed earlier today that the Elder's steps were slightly unsteady when walking. It must be because you were exposed to the night wind on the roof last night, and furthermore, your Meridians were widened during your Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, leaving your body somewhat depleted."

As Gu Yi spoke, he solemnly took the dark black silk fabric out of his sleeve and spread it flat on the round table.

"This Disciple had nothing to do today, so I went to the city market to search around and chanced upon this special Dharma garment specifically for nourishing the leg Meridians. Thinking that the Elder might find it useful, I brought it over overnight."

Liu Qingwan picked up the teacup on the table, intending to drink some water, but upon hearing the words "Dharma garment for nourishing the leg Meridians," she leaned over curiously.

She extended two fair, tender fingers, pinched the black silk fabric that was as thin as nothing on the table, and brought it before her eyes to examine it carefully.

This thing had a strange shape, appearing as two long tubes. There was not a trace of spiritual power fluctuation on the fabric, but rather, its astonishing elasticity and semi-transparent texture made one feel inexplicably flushed and hot-eared when looking at it.

"You call this a Dharma garment?" Liu Qingwan raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Yi with a half-smile. "This material is so thin it can't even block a gust of wind. If worn on the legs, wouldn't it cover nothing at all? You little rascal, what bad idea are you cooking up again?"

Facing this questioning, Gu Yi not only felt no guilt, but he straightened his back and began his nonsense, speaking with a straight face.

"The Elder is mistaken. This item is painstakingly crafted from ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworm silk over forty-nine days. Its beauty lies not in defense, but in utilizing the unique contraction force of the Ice Silkworm silk to tightly fit the skin of the legs, providing continuous pressure and clearing of the vital acupoints. This semi-transparent dark color is specifically for absorbing the Yin Qi of heaven and earth to achieve the effect of Yin and Yang harmonization."

Gu Yi leaned forward slightly, his deep eyes looking straight at Liu Qingwan, his tone filled with an unquestionable sense of professionalism.

"If the Elder doesn't believe me, you can try it on. In just a moment, you will be able to feel the warm, clear, and comfortable sensation in your Meridians."

Deep in the Sea of Consciousness, Ji Meier, whose senses were restricted, heard this solemn nonsense and was already rolling on the ground laughing, repeatedly praising Gu Yi for having a thickness of face that was truly unprecedented.

Liu Qingwan looked at Gu Yi's sincere expression of "thinking entirely for your sake," and the doubts in her heart were largely dispelled.

She was never one to stand on ceremony, and coupled with the fact that she had already been intimate with Gu Yi last night, crossing that barrier, she didn't have so many qualms or hesitations in this private guest room.

"Very well, since it is the filial piety of you, my Disciple, this Elder will try your strange 'Dharma garment for nourishing the Meridians'."

Liu Qingwan hummed softly, picked up her wine gourd, held the Ice Silkworm Silk Black Stockings, and turned to walk towards the bed behind the screen.

Gu Yi sat upright at the round table, his gaze fixed on the graceful silhouette reflected on the screen, and he picked up his teacup to hide the smile on his lips.
