NOVEL NEXT Chapter 308 Daoist Couple
After Li Qian returned to his cave abode, he first activated the grand array, and then entered the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
The Unrivaled Daoist still hadn't awakened, but her aura had grown much stronger, clearly showing that the healing over this period had been effective.
Li Qian approached the Unrivaled Daoist and began to heal her once again.
As the germination power of the Frosty Seed seeped into her body, it triggered the Cold Flame Law Seed within her.....
After a long while, just as Li Qian retracted the germination power of the Frosty Seed, the Unrivaled Daoist's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Unrivaled Daoist, you, you're awake?"
Li Qian exclaimed in surprise.
"Where is this place?"
The Unrivaled Daoist used her immortal sense to examine her surroundings and discovered she was in an enclosed space, prompting her to frown and ask.
"This is a small secret realm, but you can rest assured, it's very safe here."
Li Qian replied.
"Thank you for saving me during this time...."
The Unrivaled Daoist stated calmly.
During this period, her consciousness had been in a semi-awake, semi-comatose state, so she was naturally aware of Li Qian's healing efforts.
"Unrivaled Daoist, how did you sustain such severe injuries?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
He had thought the Unrivaled Daoist wouldn't reveal it, but to his surprise, she glanced at Li Qian and then recounted the entire incident in detail.
"So, you mean Chu Qi used the Dragon Egg and the True Dragon Bloodline of the Azure Dragon to reshape his physical body? No wonder he's about to undergo Transformation and Infant Formation."
Li Qian was stunned after hearing this.
He hadn't expected the Unrivaled Daoist to have gone through such a dangerous ordeal, one that even involved dark factions.
"He won't undergo Transformation and Infant Formation so easily."
The Unrivaled Daoist shook her head and said.
"Why?"
Li Qian inquired.
"He could have undergone it long ago but didn't, just to seize my Cultivation Realm, to lay the foundation for his Golden Immortal path. Although he's absorbed the True Dragon Bloodline to reshape his body, this is far from sufficient to perfect his Golden Immortal foundation."
The Unrivaled Daoist shook her head.
"So he released this news to lure you out?"
Li Qian asked.
"Yes."
The Unrivaled Daoist nodded, "However, if I keep not appearing, there's no telling what kind of scheming and plotting the other side might do, especially since they have connections with the dark factions. They might falsely accuse and frame me...."
The Tianshu Palace's roots within the Yuhua Immortal Sect were deeply entrenched, with just the Daoist Level experts numbering three, making it one of the most powerful lineages in the Yuhua Immortal Sect, and extraordinarily difficult to topple.
"As of now, there's only one solution."
The Unrivaled Daoist sighed.
"What solution?"
Li Qian asked.
"Qian Yuan, would you be willing to become my Daoist couple?"
The Unrivaled Daoist suddenly asked seriously.
"Uh..."
Li Qian was stunned by the Unrivaled Daoist's sudden shift in thought.
"You don't want to?"
The Unrivaled Daoist asked.
"Uh.....no, Unrivaled Daoist, but how does this relate to dealing with Chu Qi?"
Li Qian scratched his nose and said.
He felt this was too direct.
It was a bit overwhelming.
"His target has always been my unique physique. If you and I become a Daoist couple, he has no other choice but to proceed with Transformation and Infant Formation."
The Unrivaled Daoist said, "This person has backing from the dark factions, making this matter extremely serious. Dealing with Chu Qi can only be done gradually and cannot be rushed."
"What about your current injuries?"
Li Qian asked.
"Though they are only sixty to seventy percent healed... my Cold Flame Law Seed has improved instead, so it's not a major issue anymore."
The Unrivaled Daoist said, "Qian Yuan, I remember when you were just an Earth Immortal, you condensed a Principle Seed. Now, in just over twenty years, you've stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It seems your Principle Seed has improved significantly?"
The two had accidentally engaged in Dual Cultivation over twenty years ago, and these past few months, although not truly Dual Cultivation, the healing endeavors allowed her to be somewhat aware of Li Qian's progress on his Principle Seed, which was evidently much higher than hers.
"I once refined an incomplete mysterious book."
Li Qian said.
"I see."
The Unrivaled Daoist nodded.
As for how Li Qian refined the incomplete mysterious book, she didn't ask further. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Even if they were to become a Daoist couple in the future, each would still have their own secrets.
"Qian Yuan, take me out of this small secret realm now. Then, I will announce our union as a Daoist couple, followed by a grand Daoist couple ceremony."
The Unrivaled Daoist said.
"Unrivaled Daoist, are you sure you want to become the Daoist couple of someone who isn't even an Immortal Register Disciple, just a servant disciple?"
Li Qian asked.
Naturally, Li Qian wouldn't refuse becoming a Daoist couple with the Unrivaled Daoist, since Dual Cultivation would enhance the Frosty Seed Principle.
Otherwise, why would he spend so much time and effort healing the Unrivaled Daoist?
"It's merely a mutually beneficial arrangement."
The Unrivaled Daoist responded nonchalantly.
"Why not... cultivate once?"
Li Qian suddenly suggested.
The Unrivaled Daoist glanced at Li Qian with her bright eyes and then said, "I was just thinking the same thing."
....
In the Unrivaled Dao Palace, these past few months have seen unrest among the people.
Because the Dao Master has not shown up.
Though Senior Sister Huo Ling told others that their master was in secluded cultivation, she knew that ever since their master departed, she had not returned... If it weren't for the Soul Lamp Hall still showing their master's Soul Lamp lit, she would have suspected something had happened to her master.
She had secretly sent messages to her master, but there had been no response, so she was worried.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in her ear.
"Inform everyone to come to the main hall."
Upon hearing it, Huo Ling shuddered all over; it was her master's voice.
At that moment, the worry weighing on her heart finally lifted.
