Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Discussing the Dao Over Tea, the Secret Tome of the Six Desires

’Perhaps...’

’It’s just the material of her clothes?’

Su Ye pondered for a moment but didn’t dwell on it.

In his impression, Luo Xiyin had a rather aloof and solitary personality.

She was the type of devoted cultivator who would spend years in seclusion, passionate about the art of talismans.

’She probably... wouldn’t do something like this?’

"Mr. Su, please come in."

Luo Xiyin, with an elegant posture, curtsied and led Su Ye inside.

Among cultivators of the same rank, aside from immediate family or master-disciple relationships, it was common to address each other as ’Fellow Daoist’.

Then, the two of them walked into the cave abode.

A simple yet elegant living area, paved with cyan stone.

Luminous Pearls were embedded in the cyan stone walls on either side, emitting a soft, gentle glow.

Beside a soft jade table, a servant girl brought out one delicious Spiritual Food after another.

Most were rare delicacies that had been prepared with great care.

In a corner sat a brass incense burner, from which a faint white smoke drifted.

"Mr. Su, this is the ’White Elm Fragrance’ from my personal collection. It is quite beneficial for advancing one’s Magical Power..."

Luo Xiyin had a serene temperament, a melodious voice, and a humble attitude.

The atmosphere of this small banquet was relaxed and harmonious.

...

Afterward, Su Ye took the opportunity to ask Luo Xiyin for guidance on some cultivation matters.

"’Guidance’ is too strong a word. You and I can simply discuss things and learn from each other," Luo Xiyin said seriously.

She had been stuck at the bottleneck of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment for a long time.

But precisely because of this, she was extremely familiar with cultivation in the Early-stage Foundation Establishment!

She could often get straight to the heart of the matter and pinpoint the problem.

As they sipped tea and discussed the Dao, Su Ye benefited greatly, gaining a deeper understanding of cultivation during the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

"Thank you for your guidance, Luo."

Su Ye said solemnly, cupping his hands in a salute.

"Mm..." Luo Xiyin nodded slightly.

Su Ye keenly sensed something. ’For some reason, Luo Xiyin seems a little unsettled?’

"Um, Mr. Su..." Luo Xiyin started to speak, then hesitated.

"Is there something you wish to say, Luo?" Su Ye asked.

"Ah... um..." Luo Xiyin’s pretty face showed a hint of panic as she quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, right! I have a jar of two-hundred-year-old Peach Blossom Spirit Wine. Would you care for a few cups?"

"Very well." Su Ye nodded slightly.

「An hour later.」

The jar of Peach Blossom Spirit Wine was empty.

The sky was growing dark.

Su Ye felt it was time to leave and bade Luo Xiyin farewell.

"Mr. Su, please wait..."

Luo Xiyin looked conflicted.

Seeing this, Su Ye raised an eyebrow and got straight to the point.

"You’ve seemed a bit unsettled today, Luo. Is something the matter?"

"Please, don’t hesitate to speak. If it’s within my power, I will do what I can to help."

Su Ye’s impression of Luo Xiyin was quite good.

She had an outstanding temperament, a beautiful face, and she even had silver hair!

Most importantly, she had a gentle personality and didn’t vie for or cling to power.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator like her wouldn’t be an obstacle to his plan to control the Luo Family.

On the contrary, Luo Xiyin’s skill as a Rank 2 High-Grade Talisman Master could be of great help to him.

Therefore, Su Ye didn’t mind.

Within reason, he was willing to raise his favorability with this silver-haired beauty.

Facing Su Ye’s ink-black eyes, Luo Xiyin bit her lower lip and said,

"Mr. Su, to be honest with you."

"During the battle on Donglong Island a while ago, I was severely injured. Not only was my Foundation Establishment Dharma Body shaken, but even my divine soul was damaged."

"Divine soul damage?" Su Ye raised an eyebrow.

Damage to a cultivator’s divine soul was a rather troublesome matter.

However, Su Ye thought for a moment, then offered some comforting words.

"I understand... Luo, just focus on recuperating. There’s no need to worry too much."

"In a while, the grand auction at Weiyuan Immortal City will be held. It shouldn’t be hard to find Spiritual Objects or pills to mend the divine soul there."

"When the time comes, I’ll acquire one for you."

The grand auction at Weiyuan Immortal City was the most prosperous event in the Cyan Profound Sect’s sea region.

Spiritual Objects that could mend the divine soul were rare and precious on normal days.

But at the grand auction, as long as you were willing to spend the Spirit Stones, you could always get one!

However...

Faced with Su Ye’s promise, Luo Xiyin repeatedly waved her hands.

"No, no, no... I don’t need a Spiritual Object for the soul!"

"Actually, I have a Cultivation Technique that can mend the divine soul and even strengthen one’s Divine Sense!"

"Oh?" A look of surprise appeared in Su Ye’s eyes.

Divine Sense was crucial in the cultivation of high-level cultivators!

A Cultivation Technique that could mend and strengthen Divine Sense was absolutely no less valuable than a top-tier Cultivation Technique!

’The Luo Family actually... possesses such a heritage?’

Su Ye was a little skeptical.

After all, according to his senses,

Luo Xiyin’s divine soul, even at its peak, was only about on par with his own.

It was slightly stronger, but the difference was very limited.

It was purely the result of her having cultivated longer than him, nourished over time.

’That doesn’t seem like someone who possesses a divine soul cultivation technique, does it?’

"You’ll understand once you see it."

Luo Xiyin bit her pearly teeth, turned her head, and handed over a jade slip.

Su Ye took the jade slip and sent a wisp of his Divine Sense into it.

Six Desires Secret Scripture

The name of the Cultivation Technique came into view.

’Good thing it’s not the Six Desires Demon Separation Chapter...’

Su Ye snarked to himself.

Then, his Divine Sense swept over it briefly.

As he read, Su Ye’s expression gradually became solemn and serious.

A vast amount of content about nourishing Divine Sense and strengthening the divine soul was presented before him!

It even came with a Divine Soul Secret Skill!

"It’s actually real?!" Su Ye said in shock.

A divine soul Cultivation Technique like this.

In the outside world, even Core Formation Masters would covet and fight over it!

"Wait, if you have the Cultivation Technique, then why...?" Su Ye blinked.

"The divine soul Cultivation Technique is good, but..." Luo Xiyin sighed softly.

"But the requirements for this technique are quite strict. It needs... it needs..."

A blush flashed across Luo Xiyin’s pretty face.

Seeing this, Su Ye’s Divine Sense flickered as he quickly scanned the table of contents, searching for the reason.

"Huh?"

Among the cultivation requirements for the Six Desires Secret Scripture,

it was clearly written that it required a pair of male and female cultivators to perform ’Dual Cultivation’.

Furthermore, there was a minimum cultivation limit: both parties had to have reached the Foundation Establishment realm to be able to strengthen their divine souls!

Otherwise, possessing the scripture alone would yield negligible results.

"Then... are you thinking, Luo?"

Su Ye’s expression froze. Realizing something, he looked at Luo Xiyin in surprise.

"Mm..." Luo Xiyin nodded.

She took a deep breath, finally stopped averting her gaze, and looked at Su Ye seriously.

"I want you, Mr. Su, to cultivate the Six Desires Secret Scripture with me!"

Luo Xiyin raised her slender, swan-like neck, her crystalline eyes shining with a determined light.

"If I had cultivated the Six Desires Secret Scripture before the battle on Donglong Island, I would have been able to activate the Divine Sense Secret Technique and wouldn’t have had such a narrow escape from death..."

"Better yet, if my Divine Sense had been strengthened, I would have advanced to a Rank 2 High-Grade Talisman Master four years ago when I obtained the talisman brush!"

"So... I’m not willing to run away from it anymore!"

"Mr. Su, please help me!"

...

A bit late, sorry about that!

I didn’t sleep well last night, so I took a nap this afternoon (it felt less like a nap and more like I passed out). I ended up waking up after four and then got writer’s block...

So sorry... I’ll go to bed earlier today to recover...
