Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 403 - 223: She’s Taking a Shower, I Can Relay the Message (6500 words)_4
"Fortunately, I have one here..." Wang Xiu’s palm flipped over, and a Precious Medicine immediately appeared.
Its roots were coiled like a crouching dragon, and its broad leaves shone with a purple, vitreous light. A wild and domineering aura emanated from it, and the faint sound of a dragon’s cry echoed in their ears. Just a single whiff made them feel as if their vital essence had grown stronger.
"Dragon Transformation Grass?" Snow Ancestor, with her astonishing insight, recognized it at a glance. This was an extremely rare Holy Medicine, not one of the common varieties. It typically grew in wastelands. Never mind Saints, even Earth Immortals would fight to the death for it.
Wang Xiu’s luck was truly incredible to have obtained such a thing!
Then again, since Wang Xiu could even find the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, this Holy Medicine seems rather trivial in comparison.
Wang Xiu had obtained this Dragon Transformation Grass at the entrance to the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground. It was quite precious, and he had never used it before. Today, however, was the perfect occasion.
A wooden tub was already set up in the room in the small courtyard.
He swiped his finger, slicing off a small segment of the Dragon Transformation Grass. A surge of potent essence immediately erupted from the cut, transforming into a tiny, purplish-red dragon. It tried to flee but was caught by Wang Xiu, who tossed it directly into the wooden tub.
GURGLE...
The water in the tub immediately began to boil and bubble. A vast amount of life essence soared into the sky, seemingly sentient, as it condensed into a massive, vibrant azure dragon. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Wang Xiu formed a seal with his hands. Runes materialized and fell from the air, branding themselves onto the void and finally stabilizing the space. The medicinal liquid settled, emitting a dazzling, vitreous light as auspicious rosy clouds steamed from its surface. A single glance was enough to intoxicate the senses.
"Is it ready?" Snow Ancestor asked, her beautiful eyes shining as she stared at the medicinal liquid in the tub.
"We’re still missing the final catalyst," Wang Xiu said, carefully storing away the rest of the Dragon Transformation Grass.
"What is it?"
"You need someone who has already cultivated the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture to help you, Senior, refine this essence, comprehend the runes, and break through your bottleneck," Wang Xiu said seriously.
"..."
Snow Ancestor fell silent, staring at Wang Xiu for a long moment before asking, "You mean, you have to be here... watching?"
"Uh... it’s not just watching. I have to actively help," Wang Xiu said, his expression unchanged, his heart not skipping a beat.
He wasn’t lying. In fact, this was the most demanding part of the entire method. The power of spiritual and Holy Medicines was merely auxiliary. The true core, the irreplaceable component, was the Longevity Essence condensed by a cultivator of the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture.
"If that’s the case, then let’s begin," Snow Ancestor said. She showed no hesitation, her decisiveness a stark contrast to the conflicted nature of a young girl.
Her slender legs stepped forward. The next moment, her figure vanished, and her simple, plain-colored robe fluttered to the ground.
She was already inside the wooden tub.
Billowing essence, like a white mist, enveloped the area. It was an enthralling, otherworldly sight. Only her snow-white shoulders, as smooth as fine jade, and her delicate, perfect collarbones were visible above the water. They looked like the Heavenly Dao’s most perfect creation. Absolutely breathtaking.
Her magnificent, graceful figure was faintly visible through the mist, a sight tantalizing enough to make one’s blood boil.
Wang Xiu’s heart couldn’t help but pound faster. He instinctively averted his gaze.
"You’ve already seen everything. What’s the point in turning away now? Are you just a child, getting shy?" Snow Ancestor’s voice, usually clear and pleasant, now held a playful, teasing tone.
Or was that just my imagination?
A Cultivator’s five senses are exceptionally keen; their eyes are not always necessary. Divine Sense could perceive things even more clearly than sight. That was why she had said what she did.
"Ahem... actually, you didn’t need to get completely undressed, Senior. You could have kept your undergarments on..." Wang Xiu said, touching his nose in embarrassment.
Snow Ancestor: "!!!"
Why didn’t you say that sooner?!
She secretly gritted her silver teeth, her body trembling and her full chest heaving. Still, she pretended to be unfazed. "It’s fine. They would only have gotten in the way."
"Oh," Wang Xiu replied. He closed his eyes for a moment to steady his Dao Heart. When he opened them again, his gaze was clear and free of any distracting thoughts.
He raised his hand and began to circulate the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture. The illusion of a starry sky once again manifested around them, and a God Ring condensed behind him. A vast current of essence, tame as a dragon in his hands, flowed from Wang Xiu toward Snow Ancestor’s body.
"Uh, Senior... try not to be so tense," Wang Xiu suddenly said, his expression strange.
"Nonsense. What great storms haven’t I weathered? Why would I be nervous?" Snow Ancestor scoffed.
[DING!]
[Detected boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, on gaining Mana +6,666!]
"Your body is tense and your acupoints are sealed shut. My essence... it can’t get in," Wang Xiu explained, as he could clearly sense the state of her body. Not only was she tense, but she was also trembling slightly.
"!!!" Snow Ancestor’s body trembled. Beneath her waterfall of white hair, her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, the blush spreading all the way down to the base of her neck.
...
Some time later, Wang Xiu finally left the room, closing the door behind him and letting out a long, deep sigh. The process had taken a full three days, draining not only Wang Xiu’s physical strength and Mana, but his mental fortitude as well.
The main part of the procedure was now complete. All that remained was for Snow Ancestor to comprehend the lingering resonance and absorb everything Wang Xiu had given her.
BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ!
Just then, Wang Xiu’s Communication Token began to vibrate. It was a message from Zhuo Canglang. "What’s the situation in there? How is the Great-Grandmaster?"
According to the original plan, Snow Ancestor empowering Wang Xiu should have taken five days at most. But now, nearly twenty days had passed. Zhuo Canglang was worried something had gone wrong.
Wang Xiu glanced back at the tightly shut door and replied, "Senior is fine, she’s just taking a bath. If you have a message, Uncle-Master, I can pass it along for you."
Zhuo Canglang: "???"
