Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 221: Phoenix Blood Stone

On the bustling street, a group of men and women turned heads frequently, especially the two women, one older and one younger, each showcasing their own unique charm, making people’s imaginations run wild.

The most enviable was the ordinary-looking man in the middle of the three men. His cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet the beautiful woman was clinging to his arm.

Li Haoran maintained a stoic expression. Despite Su Yiren’s seemingly delicate demeanor, she was a genuine Unity Stage cultivator. If she wanted to hold on to him, he had no chance of breaking free.

Turning calmly to meet Su Yiren’s gaze, he said, “I know you really want to walk with me, but please control your strength. This is the third time you’ve broken my arm.”

Li Haoran shook his arm to show that it was seriously injured.

Su Yiren quickly took out a healing pill from her storage ring and mended his bone.

Given Su Yiren’s cultivation level, she shouldn’t have such control issues. Li Haoran could only attribute it to her excitement of being with him, causing her to lose control of her strength.

“You didn’t even scream when your bone broke?” Qin Yanyan looked at Li Haoran in astonishment. Did this man not feel pain?

Li Haoran chuckled, “After soaking in magma for a year, I don’t know what pain is anymore.”

Recalling his early days in the sect when his master threw him into magma, Li Haoran felt he survived purely by luck.

“Magma? For a year?” Qin Yanyan’s eyes widened. Was he even human?

Li Haoran spoke wistfully, “When I first entered the magma, I screamed my lungs out. The pain was unbearable, and I kept screaming until my voice went hoarse, but the pain remained.”

“My master wouldn’t let anyone help me, insisting I overcome it on my own. Senior Sister Zhou Lulu couldn’t bear to see me suffer, so she secretly brought me a cup of water infused with rare herbs, saying it would help alleviate my condition.”

Qin Yanyan shuddered at the thought of being in magma herself and couldn’t help but ask, “Did it help you adapt to the magma faster?”

“It was a hundred-year-old monk fruit soaked in water. Senior Sister Zhou saw my throat was hoarse from screaming and brought it to soothe my throat.”

Qin Yanyan: “...”

Since Lu Yang learned that Li Haoran had been soaked in magma for a year by Elder Zhou Xin, he no longer thought it was a big deal for his senior sister to bathe him in boiling water.

To be fair, if Li Haoran weren’t a fire spiritual root, Elder Zhou wouldn’t have dared to immerse him in magma. It was a unique cultivation method for fire spiritual roots.

Each single spiritual root of the five elements had its exclusive cultivation methods. For example, fire spiritual roots could soak in magma or be burned by fire to comprehend fire-related spells or abilities, such as Li Haoran mastering artifact refining.

“The qilin faced many strong enemies and was often defeated. Yet, he rose rapidly within the demon clans, overcoming enemies he shouldn’t have been able to defeat. His ariya-phala concept was similar to those of the dragon and phoenix clan prodigies. To become an immortal, a deadly battle was inevitable.”

“With immense fortune, the qilin fought and defeated the dragon and phoenix clan prodigies, achieving the ariya-phala and becoming the Qilin Immortal.”

“Did the Qilin Immortal kill the dragon and phoenix prodigies?” Despite the Everlasting Fairy’s calm tone, Lu Yang detected a hint of cruelty.

Yes, becoming an immortal wasn’t child’s play. The winner took all, and the loser might lose everything, including their life.

“No, they got married.”

“What?”

“Demons admire strength. After losing to the Qilin Immortal, the dragon and phoenix prodigies fell in love with him. Eventually, they got married. I wanted to attend the Qilin Immortal’s wedding, but he said I was too beautiful and would steal their thunder, so he didn’t let me come.”

“What a shame. I was planning to showcase my skills at the wedding.”

“What skills did you want to showcase?”

“Cooking, of course. Let me tell you, those four couldn’t cook at all. I was the only one who could cook.” The Everlasting Fairy looked disdainful, feeling that the four of them were disgraceful.

Lu Yang thought it made sense that the Qilin Immortal didn’t invite the Everlasting Fairy.

After all, with many guests at the wedding, if the Everlasting Fairy cooked, there wouldn’t be enough antidote to go around.

“Later, I thought, since it’s a friend’s wedding, I should give a gift. So, I gave them an immortal fruit blessed by me, with a note saying ‘For the most beautiful demon.’”

“I heard this gift caused quite a stir. Maybe they had never seen such a precious gift before.”

Lu Yang was silent for a few seconds before asking, “How many immortal fruits did you give?”

“One.”

Lu Yang sighed deeply, “You thrive on chaos, don’t you?”

“Ah, why?”
