Mortal Mage

Drops of water were dripping on the mahogany building.

When the formation was activated, although a large amount of seawater was shaken away from Zhoucheng, there was still accumulated water.

The spiritual lamp that still had a trace of spiritual power was flickering with tiny bits of light in the dilapidated building.

"Just take off your clothes. A man and a woman's dual cultivation is a union of spirit and soul. I had sex with you just now because your spiritual roots are not yet awakened, and it is difficult for you to absorb the chaotic spiritual energy in my body. I was in a desperate situation and had no choice but to do this."

She took out two red cushions from the storage bag and placed them on the mahogany floor. Then she waved her hand to signal Zhang Mingxuan to sit cross-legged facing her.

Zhang Mingxuan was just about to take off his clothes when he saw this scene and his face suddenly turned red.

No wonder it doesn’t hurt. This situation is obviously different from last time.

Shi Manman first sighed heavily, looked at Zhang Mingxuan with some pity, then shook her head and said, "You need at least a fairy-grade foundation-building pill to build your foundation."

She had just entered the underground palace of Zhoucheng alone to activate the city defense formation. Her dragon robe was soaked by sea water and now clung to her body, outlining her curvy and graceful figure.

She dropped her shoulders and took off her wet dragon robe, revealing her flawless body.

Zhang Mingxuan nodded with a flushed face, and following Shi Manman's instructions, he also took off his upper body clothes and then sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"When practicing dual cultivation, clothes will disturb your mind, affect the contact between your body and spiritual energy, and hinder the communication between you and me."

She and Zhang Mingxuan sat face to face, and they both put their palms together.

"Immortal-grade foundation-building pill, you may never be able to obtain it in this lifetime."

The imposing aura that Shi Manman had was gone.

"Then I can't build a foundation?"

After hearing this, Shi Manman nodded gently, then closed her eyes and thought for a while before shaking her head and saying, "Perhaps you can ask the Taoist Hidden Sect's Grand Ancestor in the Immortal Realm for help."

"Immortal world? Grand Ancestor? How do I ask for help?"

Zhang Mingxuan felt a warm sensation in his palm, and the golden wind-attributed spiritual energy in Shi Manman's body began to flow into him.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the two people began to exchange, balance, and merge into one.

"Let me first tell you some common sense about the Cuiyun Fairyland."

Shi Manman's body catered to the spiritual power needs of Zhang Mingxuan's body and continued to explain; "The leader of Daoyin Sect is in the late Nascent Soul stage, with the lowest cultivation level. Next is the master who is in seclusion, the great-great-grandfather in the back mountain, the old ancestor in the sect's forbidden area, and the great-great-grandfather in the sect's secret realm. According to the conventions of the major sects, the master should be in the Spirit Severing stage, the great-great-grandfather in the Fusion stage, the old ancestor in the Mahayana stage, and the great-great-grandfather is usually stuck before transcending the tribulation and ascending. Although these people are in Cuiyun Fairyland, they cannot refine the immortal-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."

"If you can persuade Daoyinmen's great master or great ancestor in the fairy world, they will definitely be able to refine a fairy-grade foundation-building pill."

"How to ask for it?"

"Use your teleportation array diagram in exchange, but you must prepare a sufficient way out for yourself. It's best not to go in person."

"What if they don't change?"

"It's impossible for them not to change. Even if they don't, the Grand Masters of the other five major sects will force them to change."

"Can you help me go?"

"I can't help you." Shi Manman flatly refused and continued to explain; "For the past nine hundred years, I have made many enemies for the sake of Xianyuan Sect's reputation. Now that I have withdrawn from Xianyuan Sect, without the protection of the sect, I will be in trouble in Cuiyun Fairyland, so I can't help you." After thinking deeply for a while, she continued; "I'm afraid I will never set foot in Cuiyun Fairyland again, but I will give you some of my life-saving secrets."

As she spoke, she directed her spiritual power to the additional acupuncture points on Zhang Mingxuan's body. Then the golden elixir in her body emitted a trace of power, instantly unblocking the blocked acupuncture points in Zhang Mingxuan's body.

There was a muffled "bang" sound.

A gust of air exploded from the two of them, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.

Zhang Mingxuan broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

There had been a large amount of chaotic spiritual power accumulated in his body that had not been absorbed. Now that the acupoints were unblocked, the spiritual power flowed more smoothly.

"Also, don't use the name Zhang Mingxuan anymore in Cuiyun Fairyland. If you go to other realms in the future, it's best to change your name."

"Why?"

"Since you know that the two state masters are looking for you, if you continue to use the name Zhang Mingxuan, won't it just cause trouble?" Shi Manman's golden elixir in the elixir acupoint continued to exert its power; "The Cuiyun Immortal Realm has a territory of one million miles, and there are at least eight hundred small sects. If you change your name, you will have less trouble."

“Bang…”

A gust of air exploded from the two of them again, causing debris to fly everywhere.

The fifth level of Qi refining.

Immediately afterwards, a warm and clear spiritual power began to flow from Shi Manman's body into Zhang Mingxuan's body. The spiritual power began to flow alternately rapidly, gradually spreading outside the body, forming a mist-like scene that enveloped the two of them.

"What should I be called?"

"As a general rule, a name should contain spiritual root attributes, which can improve your luck."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another "bang" sound, and a gust of air exploded from the two of them again, causing mist to rise everywhere.

Another breakthrough, the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"You are the ruler of Taicang, so you should be given the character 'king'. You have an extraordinary understanding of formations, so you should value the mysterious. But you have a useless spiritual root, so you should respect the heaven, so you should have the character 'heaven'. If you don't have a great opportunity, your cultivation will inevitably fall into bottlenecks. Therefore, you should be given the character 'bird', which will help you soar straight up."

Shi Manman's flawless white face began to show a trace of fatigue. She concentrated on thinking for a long time before she said with a breath-taking tone: "So. One word for king, one word for mystery, one word for heaven, and one word for bird, how about calling it Xuanlu?"
