81: Chapter 81: Nascent Soul Level Secret Technique: The Art of Deception

Du Xiaoyue gradually felt more at ease after hearing Wang Bin’s reasons for choosing her.

She truly hadn't expected that her unintentional help back then would bring her such a huge opportunity.

However, her heart was still very hesitant, as this was completely different from the future life plan she and her aunt had discussed.

She had always been carefully looked after by her aunt, and coupled with the Spirit Stones she had painstakingly saved over the years by living frugally, she originally felt she had a good chance to strive for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, Junior Martial Uncle Senior Uncle Qingmu already had four Dao Companions now; if she married him, her future life…

She was still a little unwilling in her heart.

Deep down, she actually still fantasized that after she established her Foundation, she could find a like-minded Dao Companion, and the two of them would support each other, advancing hand in hand on the path of Cultivation.

But those were two Foundation Establishment Pills!

She had painstakingly saved Spirit Stones for twenty years, and even now, it wasn't enough to buy one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Facing such a huge temptation, she was truly somewhat unable to resist, her heart tangled like a ball of messy threads, extremely conflicted.

Wang Bin saw the conflicted expression on Du Xiaoyue’s face and understood that she must have been somewhat moved, but not entirely, and it seemed she still harbored fantasies about certain things.

It seems he needed to add more fuel to the fire; if that really didn't work, then he would switch targets. That Li Ziqi also looked quite good. After all, he couldn't hang himself on one tree; finding a few more “trees” to hang on was always better.

“Cough, cough!”

Wang Bin deliberately coughed twice, interrupting Du Xiaoyue’s thoughts.

“Xiaoyue! You must know that such an opportunity is once in a lifetime.

Back then, for one Foundation Establishment Pill, I risked danger multiple times, venturing deep into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, enduring several life-and-death trials.

I persevered until I was eighty years old before I finally managed to save enough Spirit Stones, luckily bought a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then luckily succeeded in establishing my Foundation.

Looking at your face and figure, although you look like a sixteen-year-old girl, with skin that can be broken by a mere touch, your actual bone age should be over fifty, right?

Presumably, you cultivated a beauty-preserving Cultivation Technique, or perhaps bought and consumed beauty-preserving Medicinal Pills.

According to my estimation, even if you prepare everything needed for Foundation Establishment within the next ten years, there’s a high probability you will still fail.

You have always lived in this relatively safe West Sea City and haven't experienced many life-and-death battles or duels. How good could your Heart-Nature be?

Moreover, the Cultivation Technique you Cultivate is probably not very strong.

Once you fail to establish your Foundation, you will definitely be severely weakened, and it will take several years to recuperate your Physical Body.”

As Wang Bin spoke, he paid attention to Du Xiaoyue’s changing expression. Seeing her face grow increasingly solemn, he continued:

“But that’s not the scariest part. Once you fail to Break through, you will certainly be severely weakened, and the spiritual power in your body will not be able to maintain your current youthful and beautiful appearance and figure.

Think about it, if you look like a sixty-year-old old woman by then, will anyone still want you?

Can you still work on the first floor of the Four Seas Commerce League?

Without this job, how will you accumulate Spirit Stones, let alone consider buying a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Don't be naive enough to think that with that old appearance, you can still marry yourself off for a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Du Xiaoyue shuddered at the thought of herself with a face full of wrinkles and white hair, her heart filled with fear, feeling that the scene was truly too terrifying.

She used to always imagine her future too beautifully. She originally thought that if she failed to Break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she would find someone to marry, exchange for another Foundation Establishment Pill, and try again.

But now, upon careful consideration, even if her Physical Body recovered, she wouldn't be able to gather enough Spirit Stones to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Wouldn't her hope of establishing her Foundation be completely gone for this lifetime?

Would she also have to die in depression at seventy, like her mother?

Wang Bin chuckled to himself, thinking that this girl, although she knew more about the Cultivation World than him, her psychological fortitude was still lacking. A few words of persuasion, and she was already on the verge of collapse from fear.

“I will definitely achieve the Golden Core within twenty years, and then living for five hundred years will be no problem!

You are just a Qi Refinement Cultivator; marrying a Golden Core cultivator is truly climbing high!

Tell me, what could I want from you?

You are actually worrying about whether a Golden Core cultivator like me has a future?

Moreover, I can guarantee that I can make you successfully establish your Foundation. Look at this!”

After speaking, Wang Bin unhurriedly took out a jade bottle from his Storage Pouch and handed it over.

Du Xiaoyue was still immersed in fear and worry about the future, feeling somewhat muddled, and subconsciously reached out to take the jade bottle.

As soon as she opened the lid, she couldn't help but exclaim:

“Oh my god! Spirit Liquid! 1, 2, 3, 4… 100 drops of Spirit Liquid! Oh my god!”

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and her eyes filled with surprise and longing.

But before she could finish exclaiming, Wang Bin had already swiftly taken the jade bottle back from her hand.

Du Xiaoyue subconsciously reached out and grabbed at the air, looking a bit eager and cute. Her face was already flushed with excitement, red all over, and a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on her face, as if she had already seen the beautiful scene of her successful Foundation Establishment.

“Junior Martial Uncle, is this all for me? I’m willing!”

Du Xiaoyue’s voice trembled slightly from excitement. At this moment, those two Foundation Establishment Pills and the various potential concerns were temporarily thrown to the back of her mind. Her entire focus was on that precious Spirit Liquid.

Although Wang Bin didn't really care much about these hundred drops of Spirit Liquid, he absolutely couldn't show it on his face. He still pretended to be serious and asked:

“Are you willing to be my woman?”

“Yes, I am willing! As a Qi Refinement Cultivator, to be able to marry a Golden Core cultivator as a concubine, what is there to be unwilling about?”

Du Xiaoyue’s emotions were being manipulated by Wang Bin, making them fluctuate greatly. At this moment, she was in an extremely excited state, not even noticing the sweet smile on her face. She was only focused on the thought that if she could get those Spirit Liquids, her Foundation Establishment would be within reach.

“Alright, Xiaoyue, you give me four children, and I will give you twenty drops of Spirit Liquid.

If any one of those children possesses a Spiritual Root, even a Five Spiritual Roots, then all one hundred drops of Spirit Liquid will be yours. How about that!”

Wang Bin laid out his conditions, calculating in his mind that this would both motivate her and ensure his plan proceeded smoothly.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Junior Martial Uncle, but will breaking my virginity and having children affect my Cultivation?”

Du Xiaoyue calmed down a bit and began to consider the matter of having children.

After all, her aunt had always warned her to maintain her virginity, otherwise it would be difficult to find a good Dao Companion, and virginity was also beneficial for Cultivation.

“Don’t worry, you should only have cultivated spiritual power right now, and coupled with your constant stay in this relatively safe place, your Physical Body strength is definitely insufficient.

With your current situation, if you were to establish your Foundation now, there’s an eighty percent chance you would fail.

But don’t worry, I will arrange everything for you, guaranteeing your successful Foundation Establishment within ten years. Give me your hand!”

Wang Bin said with a confident expression.

Although Du Xiaoyue felt a little doubtful and quite shy, she still hesitated and handed over her fair, tender hand.

Wang Bin took her hand, feeling its silky smoothness, and secretly praised it. Then, he lightly pressed her shoulder and some other parts of her body a few times, looking as if he was seriously checking her physical condition.

“Your Physical Body strength is indeed insufficient. You are only at the Early Stage of First-Rank Treasure Body, and your Body Refining cultivation is only equivalent to the Early Stage of Qi Refining. You also Cultivate the Green Wood Art.

In your current state, even with the assistance of a Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Liquid, your success rate for Foundation Establishment is less than half.

How far can your Divine Sense leave your body?”

As Wang Bin spoke, he looked up at Du Xiaoyue, only to see that she was already flushed red from his few touches on her body, her shy appearance exceptionally lovely.

Du Xiaoyue heard that even with a Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Liquid, her Foundation Establishment failure rate was still so high, and she completely calmed down, hastily replying:

“My Divine Sense can currently leave my body for 50 meters. My aunt said that my Divine Sense power still needs further training.”

“Hmm, if you can train your Physical Body to the Peak of First-Rank Treasure Body, Cultivate your spiritual power to ninety percent Qi Refining, and your Divine Sense can leave your body for a hundred meters, then that is truly Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage.

At that time, with the escort of a Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Liquid, Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage will basically be a hundred percent certainty.”

Wang Bin showed off the knowledge he had heard from the Chu family to Du Xiaoyue, but warned her not to tell anyone else.

Looking at Du Xiaoyue’s admiring and convinced eyes, he knew that he had successfully captured this girl’s heart.
