Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 265: The Troubled Moon Jiuyue, the Compromising Ghost Princess

Under the gaze of the shocked True Monarch Jiuyue, the Ghost Princess ceased her attacks and both she and Jiuyue suffered injuries. The infatuation curse was broken without any external force.

Although True Monarch Jiuyue had been hit by two shocking gazes, causing damage to her soul, she finally managed to escape the Ghost Princess's assault and catch her breath.

After a brief recovery, she remembered her behavior just now and couldn't help but blush.

Having lived for hundreds of years, she had never experienced such embarrassment before. What frightened her the most was that she didn't feel the resistance she had imagined.

Clearly, she had only known Fellow Daoist Bai for a few years.

Even though she had some favorable impressions of Fellow Daoist Bai, it was merely her personal appreciation and far from reaching the level of romantic feelings.

Could it be true, as the Ghost Princess said, that there was something wrong with the Great Love Law Domain, which had affected her mind and allowed the Ghost Princess to take advantage?

True Monarch Jiuyue couldn't help but flicker her beautiful eyes and look at Yu Xian, who was looking concerned.

She shook her head inwardly.

The seductive words of the Ghost Princess were not to be believed.

If Fellow Daoist Bai really had any improper intentions towards her, just now would have been the perfect opportunity. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Bai had been on guard and counterattacked.

So there was only one final answer.

All of this was a scheme by the Ghost Princess to deliberately disturb her Dao heart.

Indeed, her Dao heart had flaws.

But that was her inherent defect.

If her Dao heart was truly flawless and without any loopholes, how could the Ghost Princess have seized the opportunity to attack?

Her practice in Fellow Daoist Bai's Great Love Law Domain gradually exposed the flaws in her own Dao heart, which turned out to be a benefit.

After all, by making up for the flaws in her Dao heart, her future cultivation would be smoother.

It was just that because she had an additional Ghost Princess in her body, this benefit had become her annoyance.

Thinking like this, her impression of Yu Xian became even better.

Perhaps only good people who pursued the ideal of great unity could cultivate such a benevolent True Monarch Law Domain.

"You..." True Monarch Jiuyue wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she hesitated.

The scene she had just experienced made her feel that the relationship between the two of them had changed slightly, causing her to lose her usual indifference.

What was originally a very ordinary sentence, she was also afraid that it would give Fellow Daoist Bai a bad association.

But she was also entangled in this kind of bad association.

She ended up awkwardly squeezing out a sentence.

"...Your spiritual arts are very powerful. Now that the Ghost Princess is injured, she should be unable to disturb me for a while. During this time, I should be able to suppress her."

Yu Xian smiled warmly and took out a peanut-sized, milky-white Medicine Pill.

"These are just small tricks, but if they can help you, then it's good. This is the Return Divine Pill, specifically used to restore damage to one's own divine soul."

Although he didn't have mind-reading abilities, he, who had rich experience with women, knew that a normal woman who had just experienced what she had would be on edge at this moment.

Especially someone like September True Monarch, who held a high position and was accustomed to being self-centered.

Despite her calm appearance, her mind was definitely filled with thoughts. If one wasn't careful, it could trigger a chemical reaction of associations in her.

In this state, if he did the right thing, it would greatly increase her favorability towards him. But if he did the wrong thing, it could potentially leave a thorn in her heart.

So what he needed to do was just go with the flow and be himself.

As the saying goes, "Without desire, one is firm."

For him, staying steady would lead to victory. There was no need for flashy maneuvers.

"Thank you."

September True Monarch took the Medicine Pill, hesitated for a moment, but still put the Return Divine Pill into her mouth.

As the Medicine Pill entered her mouth, it turned into a clear stream that spread throughout her body, soothing the pain in her mind and body. The largest stream rushed straight to her brow and sea of consciousness, smoothing out the waves of pain there.

She closed her eyes, forcing herself not to look at Yu Xian at this moment, using cultivation recovery to escape reality. But she still kept a part of her mind focused on the subtle changes in the outside world.

Meanwhile, Yu Xian, as usual, immersed himself in the formation diagram of the Mist Shadow Dao Soldier he had already designed, entering his own world.

Time slowly passed.

A day of cultivation came to an end.

Yu Xian stretched lazily, put away the formation diagram into his storage ring, as if nothing had happened before, and said as usual:

"Fellow daoist September, today's cultivation ends here. I have to go back. See you tomorrow."

For him, cultivation was like going to work, six days on and one day off, nine to five, a typical working person.

After all, he received an annual training fee of ten million Spirit Stones from September True Monarch.

In addition, his True Monarch domain was the largest production resource of the Great Unity Society. Without this thing supporting it, those members who hoped for projects wouldn't willingly pay Spirit Stones.

Of course, as they stayed longer in his domain, those lovely members would be reluctant to ask for a refund of their membership fees.

Even the most selfish cultivator, after staying in the domain of Great Love True Monarch for a long time, would be filled with infinite admiration for Great Love True Monarch.

So, since he was a working person, leaving work on time was a matter of principle.

September True Monarch forced herself to remain calm and nodded slightly towards Yu Xian, with an attitude that was neither cold nor warm.

It was only when Yu Xian's figure disappeared into the clouds that September True Monarch finally relaxed, feeling more exhausted than if she had fought a great battle.

She touched her face, which was hot.

In her mind, the ghostly maiden with severe injuries to her vitality sneered and said:

"You stubborn fool, instead of sinking your Dao heart in the future, why not give this body to this emperor and let this emperor take you to experience the scenery of the God Transformation Realm?"

September True Monarch's expression changed instantly. The slight tenderness from earlier disappeared completely, and his voice became cold and indifferent.

"Guiji, I have already seen through your tricks. Even with the help of White Fellow Daoist, how many times can you withstand it when I, True Monarch, possess such extraordinary techniques? "

Jingshenmu absorbed hundreds of Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi, using the first rank Gold Core Supernatural Power as a guide, and directly faced the fragment of the broken Heavenly Dao will. It contained a hint of Heavenly Dao charm and had formidable power.

When Yu Xian was still in the Gold Core Realm, he was confident that he could use this technique to harm a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone now that he has already broken through the Nascent Soul Realm and absorbed hundreds of Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, the power of Jingshenmu has already exceeded his expectations, especially when it comes to attacking the divine soul.

If September True Monarch recovers and Yu Xian attacks again with Jingshenmu, although he will also be injured, she has a physical body as a foundation, and her divine soul recovers much faster than Guiji.

In addition, with the blessing of the Great Love Law Domain on her divine soul, Guiji is destined to be defeated in her hands.

Obviously, Guiji also understands this truth.

Ordinary Divine Sense attacks are insignificant to her. She is born and nurtured as a soul of the ghost race. Although she does not have a physical body like the human race, the strength of her soul is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

Otherwise, with her fragmented Primordial Spirit, she would not have the advantage in September True Monarch's main battlefield.

Unfortunately, the pair of divine eyes of the Great Love True Monarch are captivating, especially the power that makes her soul feel fear deep within.

"Damn it, do I really have to return to the Extreme Yin Ghost Vein and start over after three hundred years?"

Don't be fooled by the ease of saying "start over." The path of cultivation is full of obstacles, even for a great ghost emperor like her who has cultivated for a thousand years.

After all, in the Ghost Vein, there are countless ghosts wandering at night.

Those ghostly things do not care that she was once a great ghost emperor. They only have greedy desires for the essence of her soul and only think about devouring her to become the new great ghost emperor.

"The Great Love True Monarch is actually able to resist the seduction of September True Monarch and is completely different from the image when we were together before. He must have a big plan."

Unfortunately, no matter what I say now, September will not believe it. Instead, he thinks it's my slander.

Guiji felt extremely cold-hearted about September True Monarch's inability to recognize good intentions.

She finally spoke the truth, but no one believed her.

"In that case, don't blame me for taking the initiative."

"Damn it, I'll take advantage of that brat."

A cold light flashed in Guiji's eyes as she made a decision.

September True Monarch's physical body was specially chosen by her and is the body she used to achieve her Dao. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will never give up on it.

Since September True Monarch insists on going his own way, even if she has to compromise with the Great Love True Monarch, she will regain the initiative.

However, on the surface, Guiji did not show any weakness.

"September, don't be too happy."

After speaking, without giving September True Monarch a chance to speak, she decisively retreated and acted like a coward.

...

The next day.

After spending the night with many dao companions, Yu Xian arrived at work feeling refreshed and energetic as usual, only to find that September True Monarch had already arrived.

On the spacious mountaintop, there stood a goddess-like figure, gazing into the wind.

Her figure was graceful like a startled swan, elegant like a wandering dragon. She radiated the brilliance of autumn chrysanthemums and the lushness of spring pines. She was as elusive as the moon hidden behind light clouds, and as ethereal as snow carried by the wind. From afar, she shone like the rising sun; up close, she burned like a lotus emerging from turbulent waves.

This is a description of the Luoshen in the "Luoshen Fu".

In Yu Xian's eyes, September True Monarch couldn't be more suitable for today. In his lifetime, he had seen many beautiful women, and before September True Monarch, Chen Yi and Chu Fuzhu's daughter Chu Yanran were considered top-tier. The former was originally a spy trained under the Prince of Fortune, with exceptional looks. After entering the Immortal World for cultivation and gaining great opportunities, her temperament completely blossomed, giving off a sacred aura that could be admired from afar but not profaned.

If it weren't for having slept with many women before and carrying his own confidence, Yu Xian would never dare to provoke such a woman.

As for Chu Yanran, regardless of her previous appearance, at present, she was definitely a model of a noble lady and a fairy in the immortal sect. It's just that her previous appearance as a fat pig had left a deep impression, causing him to never see her as a woman and benefiting that little brat, Duan Hong.

Of course, that little brat deserved it. He had also experienced a lot of hardships before finding happiness.

Then there was the Queen Bee after her transformation, the Princess of Fortune, and others who followed a mature and elegant style.

Next were Luo Han, Zhao Shiwen, Liu Zhangmen, Wen Renyue, and others, all of whom had exceptional looks among female cultivators.

As for Yu Lan, she could only be considered above average until she cultivated the Red Blossom Peach Blossom Technique and achieved Great Completion in the Hundred Flowers Mysterious Body, catching up with the others in terms of appearance and temperament.

However, his liking for Yu Lan had long surpassed her appearance. It was just because she was Yu Lan, the one who had accompanied him from the humblest beginnings.

Returning to the topic, September True Monarch was undoubtedly stunning.

Yesterday, September True Monarch only showed her face due to her attire, and while she was beautiful, there was still something missing.

But today, September True Monarch wore a simple and elegant white dress, with three thousand strands of black hair cascading down like a waterfall. She wore no makeup, yet she was captivating.

This elite of the Upper Sect, the current ruler of a city, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, in terms of appearance and temperament, Yu Xian couldn't find a single flaw.

It even made him feel that his decision yesterday was hasty.

"Daoist Moon, you..."

Yu Xian was stunned for a while before forcing a bitter smile. "You're too beautiful. I'm afraid I won't be able to focus on cultivation today."

September True Monarch felt secretly delighted seeing Yu Xian's expression, but she remained calm on the surface.

"In the past, I always met White Daoist with a disguise, which may have been disrespectful to White Daoist. Since I revealed my true appearance yesterday, let's continue like this in the future. If White Daoist doesn't like it, I can change back to my previous appearance."

"No, no, this is perfect."

Yu Xian expressed his satisfaction with the current September True Monarch.

"Thinking that I will be able to see Daoist's face every day in the future is truly my fortune."

September True Monarch smiled faintly and stopped speaking, finding a place to start cultivating.

In fact, she was also conflicted about her own thoughts.

Yesterday, she had made advances, but the fellow daoist unexpectedly rejected her, which made her doubt her own charm.

So today, she decided to fully display her charm.

But it seemed that her performance today was still stable.

From this perspective, it undoubtedly confirmed once again that the fellow daoist's character was excellent.

Yu Xian was just slightly annoyed.

He never regretted his decisions because the past could not be changed, so he could only focus on the present.

He continued to immerse himself in his alchemy business.

With the existence of the Fake Pill Construction Team, Da Ai City was developing rapidly, but he gradually discovered the abnormalities within this rapid development.

That was relying solely on tourism and real estate could not support such a large population.

Currently, the most developed industry in Da Ai City was not anything else, but the material industry of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range owned by the Yijian Merchant House.

Because a large amount of demonic Gold Cores needed to be refined every year, in addition to Rank Three Monster Cores, a large amount of Five Elements materials were also needed. Due to their low rank, most Qi Refining cultivators could meet the picking conditions.

Under the high market demand, tens of thousands of low-level cultivators who made a living by relying on the Five Elements materials of demonic Gold Cores emerged.

As for other industries, they could only be considered as barely surviving.

Moreover, the influx of a large population caused the supply of Rank Three Spiritual Veins' Spiritual Qi to be far less abundant than in other places, resulting in a halved cultivation effect. There were not many reasons for people to stay.

Cultivators who could earn money were fine since they could use resources to make up for the lack of Spiritual Qi environment. But for Rogue Cultivators who couldn't earn money, it was just a farewell.

In the end, cultivation base was still the most important.

Therefore, the emergence of the Dao Weapon industry chain could save a significant portion of the market.

After all, a high-rank Dao Weapon required a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, and if he wanted to create a legion of Dao Weapons, he would need billions of Spirit Stones.

So many Spirit Stones would be enough to sustain Da Ai City for a long time.

When the Dao Weapon legion solved the issue of Monster Core materials for him, Da Ai City would ultimately become a city completely centered around demonic Gold Cores.

By then, he could refine as many demonic Gold Cores as he wanted, truly reducing the cost.

Another ordinary day of cultivation.

September True Monarch's injuries from the shock and divine gaze had not completely healed, so she did not ask Yu Xian to take action again, just like usual.

But it was also slightly different from usual.

On this day, Yu Xian unusually did not leave on time, but watched September True Monarch leave.

...

"Ghost Lady fellow daoist, I didn't expect you to dare to come see me again?"

The reason Yu Xian left behind was simple: Ghost Lady had appeared again.

It's probably because of the previous serious injury that the ghostly figure that appeared this time is somewhat illusory, but her expression is even more charming, and her clothing is very bold and seductive.

"White fellow daoist, you are so ruthless. Is it because I can't compare to September Little Sister that you can be so heavy-handed with me?"

The ghostly figure threw herself at him, with a look of tears about to fall.

Yu Xian accepted her without resistance, holding onto her waist and pinching her chin, looking down at her.

"Ghostly figure fellow daoist, I promised September fellow daoist that I would definitely kill you when I see you."

Although there was no change in appearance or expression, the ghostly figure inexplicably felt that the person in front of her had changed, and there was a deep darkness gradually spreading in the air.

The shadow of death rose in her heart.

However, she didn't know that Yu Xian had already learned her true identity. As a fragmented Primordial Spirit inhabiting someone else's body, even the former Great Ghost Emperor was not afraid.

A fallen feather is not as good as a chicken.

Yu Xian loved beating a dog when it's down the most in his life, because the risk of doing so was extremely low.

How could he be polite at this moment?

The ghostly figure put away her playful demeanor, even though she was being held by Yu Xian, she didn't make any movements.

"This time, I truly have the sincerity to make a deal with you."

"Tell me about it."

Yu Xian was indifferent.

The ghostly figure said, "Help me capture September True Monarch's physical body, and after it's done, I am willing to be at your command for a hundred years and owe you a favor."

"If it were you, I might be a little interested."

The ghostly figure suppressed her rising anger.

A junior at the Nascent Soul Preceding Entry Stage actually dared to insult her like this.

The momentary insult didn't matter now. As long as she obtained September True Monarch's physical body and had the opportunity to break through the Ghost Venerable Realm, the humiliation she suffered would be a thousand times worse.

"White fellow daoist is really greedy. Alright, I agree. If you help me, not only will September True Monarch be yours, I will also be yours."

"But words alone are not enough. How can you make me believe you, ghostly figure fellow daoist?"

Yu Xian remained calm.

The ghostly figure frowned, "Isn't the Hearts Demon Vow enough?"

At their realm, the Hearts Demon Vow is even more rigorous than in lower realms.

After all, the probability of low realm cultivators encountering a Hearts Demon is not very high, and there are many ways to deal with it.

But once they break through, the probability of encountering a Hearts Demon is almost one hundred percent.

If the Hearts Demon Vow backlashes, without special means to protect oneself, it is basically a path to death.

Therefore, the higher the realm of a cultivator, the less likely they are to make casual vows.

However, Yu Xian shook his head and said, "It's just like this, how can it buy the affection between me and Fellow Daoist Yue, unless..."

Yu Xian glanced at the ghost girl in his arms with a smile that was not a smile.

"If Fellow Daoist is willing to become my contract ghost servant, then I will definitely assist with all my strength and not slack off in the slightest."

"You!!! Don't push your luck!"

The ghost girl was furious.

Yu Xian let go of the ghost girl and acted as if he had just finished and was about to run away.

"I suppose Fellow Daoist values Fellow Daoist's physical body very much. Let me think, only the realm of Divine Transformation could make a great ghost emperor at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm pay such attention."

"Otherwise, with Fellow Daoist's identity, why would Fellow Daoist be willing to tolerate me, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, like this?"

The ghost girl panicked.

"Right, Fellow Daoist previously communicated with me, saying that my Divine Sense secret technique was very effective against Fellow Daoist. When she has recovered, I will lend her a hand."

"When that time comes, if Fellow Daoist wants to agree to my request, I won't accept it."

Yu Xian continued to add, pressing the ghost girl step by step.

The ghost girl looked deeply at Yu Xian and said, "Alright, but this emperor wants to sign a symbiotic contract with you."

Yu Xian spread his hands and said, "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Ghost Girl, I don't have the habit of relying on others for my life."

Upon hearing this, the ghost girl almost exploded with anger.

"Then do you still want me to sign a servant contract with you?"

"Yes, so I can control your life and death. Is there a problem?"

Yu Xian said naturally.

The ghost girl gritted her teeth and said, "This is the emperor's bottom line. If you ruin this emperor's chance of achieving the Dao, this emperor will never let it go."

Yu Xian sighed and said, "If Fellow Daoist is unwilling to cooperate with me, that's fine. I can temporarily postpone my promise to Fellow Daoist Yue and not take action against Fellow Daoist. But Fellow Daoist needs to show me some sincerity first."

The ghost girl fell silent for a moment and sneered, "What do you want? My soul is damaged now, I can't satisfy your despicable desires."

Yu Xian remained calm and unaffected.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood me. How could I be the kind of man who only thinks with his lower body? It was Fellow Daoist who took the initiative before, and I saw that Fellow Daoist was also happy, so I didn't stop."

The ghost girl: "..."

Yu Xian grabbed the opportunity and said, "I don't want much, just a cultivation technique from the ghost clan."

The ghost girl was taken aback.

"What use do you have for a cultivation technique from the ghost clan?"

Yu Xian was frank, "To be honest, I had a friend who died because of love. After death, their obsession didn't dissipate and turned into a ghost spirit. I couldn't bear to let their soul dissipate, so I made a symbiotic contract with them, allowing them to reside in me."

"But I don't understand the methods of ghost cultivation, so I couldn't help them much, and they could only sleep most of the time."

"Today, seeing Fellow Daoist, I know that their opportunity has come."

The ghost girl looked at Yu Xian suspiciously.

"She is important to you, right? You revealed your bargaining chip, aren't you afraid that this emperor will use it to blackmail you?"

Yu Xian smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Ghost Girl, it is you who is seeking me, not the other way around."

"My friend, although they can't be awake all the time, they have no worries about their life as long as they are attached to me. I have a lifetime to find a cultivation technique for them."

"But you only have one choice."

"Or rather, give up the entanglement with Fellow Daoist Yue."

The ghost girl took a deep breath and nodded, "This emperor will trust you once."

As she spoke, a glimmer of light emerged from her forehead like a firefly.

"This is a Ghost King Grade Cultivation Technique in the ghost clan. According to your human cultivator standards, it is a high-rank Cultivation Technique."

Yu Xian caught the light spot and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Inside, there was a Cultivation Technique called "Ghost King True Body," which roughly explained how to condense a true body with the soul, thereby overcoming the negative effects of the soul and being able to live in the world like those with flesh and blood bodies.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Girl, I have always been true to my word. You missed a great opportunity."

Yu Xian smiled.

But the ghost girl didn't believe it and coldly snorted, "Only a fool would believe you."

Without waiting for Yu Xian to reply, her soul dissipated without a trace.

Yu Xian looked at the light spot in his palm and felt quite pleased.

Indeed, working overtime brings unexpected gains.

Even if the ghost girl didn't say it, he wouldn't help September True Monarch eliminate her rashly.

After all, once the threat of the ghost girl is eliminated, what reason does September True Monarch have to stay and interact with him day and night, and how can his domain continue to influence her?

So the existence of the ghost girl is necessary.

It's just that the imbalance of information made the ghost girl suffer setbacks in his hands.

"Tsk tsk, I'm really bad."

Yu Xian whistled and then lightly touched his forehead with his finger, a gentle expression appearing on his face.

"Master Liu, soon you will be able to live normally in this world."
