I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm
Chapter 138 - 99: Entry Level of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, Soft Rice King 4
Zhou Changwang mumbled, and conveniently used a Spirit Rain Skill.
After the pattering Spirit Rain fell, the Thunder Spirit Rice Trees grew even faster.
Then, he returned to the pavilion once more.
First, his spirit trembled slightly, and he metaphorically cut himself with a blade.
The intense pain caused his face to twitch.
But to improve his Spiritual Power, he must endure this suffering.
After an incense stick’s time, he finally calmed down, and then took out one Jade Scroll after another, as well as books, to start examining and learning.
Being an Immortal Cultivator doesn’t mean that after learning the Cultivation Techniques, you can be worry-free.
In the Cultivation Realm, there are many basic knowledge aspects that, if not mastered, can lead to significant losses. Some Cultivation Techniques and Immortal Techniques, even if not cultivated, require some understanding.
After all, who knows if you might encounter them in the future?
Only by learning more regularly can you shed fewer tears in times of war.
Therefore, Zhou Changwang took out a Jade Scroll and silently studied its contents.
These Jade Scrolls and books were exactly what he had scavenged from Insect King Xue Tong’s estate, and the cultivator biographies, cultivation insights, magical analysis, as well as some Secret Realm exploration experiences... all opened his eyes.
Currently, what he was reading was a cultivator biography.
It told the everyday life of a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioner named Liu Qiantan.
This Liu Qiantan was a Four-Attribute Spirit Root cultivator, born of a mortal family, a prince of a Mortal Country. Clearly, that Mortal Country was aware of immortal cultivation affairs; he was tested for spiritual roots early on, which allowed him to smoothly cultivate immortality.
Using his royal status, after cultivating to the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, he knew that his own country could no longer offer much help, thus he embarked on the path of seeking the Dao.
In fact, cultivators of his status in the Cultivation Realm naturally have people they can rely on.
His Emperor father once mentioned a royal uncle practicing in a marketplace named Luoyun Valley in the Celestial River Domain.
However, who knew that this royal uncle had actually been schemed by his father early on, which denied him the throne, and later he had to reluctantly enter the Cultivation Realm, focusing solely on cultivation.
The royal uncle bore a grudge against his father, and upon his arrival, he hit a snag, immediately selling him for fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones to the local Yuehe Square, treating him as a Furnace for a female cultivator.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough that after several years of worry, he was noticed by a noble female cultivator who took him in as a concubine, and amazingly, he even impregnated her. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
This was something his previous predecessors hadn’t managed to achieve.
Hence, he lived several comfortable years.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. During one outing, the female cultivator died unexpectedly, and the enjoyment he had came through the female cultivator. Normally, he had been marginalized by other male concubines, and this time he was simply joined together and driven away.
Without the female cultivator’s support, and lacking any unique skills himself, he returned to Yuehe Square after several hesitations, then was once more very lucky to be noticed by another female cultivator who brought him into the household.
This time the female cultivator was a Sect Disciple, early widowed, appreciated his ’talents’, thus marrying him.
But who would have thought that within three months, his ’wife’ was summoned by the sect for a mission, never to return. And so, he returned to Yuehe Square...
Such was his story of several times.
Experienced five or six female cultivators altogether.
The female cultivators aiding him fell one after another, while he, despite numerous challenges, lived well and eventually cultivated to the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The end of the biography mentioned he was being noticed by a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, who claimed to bring him back home...
"Could this be the so-called Soft Rice King?"
After reading this, Zhou Changwang felt he had gained some insights, even thinking to himself whether the last Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator might also meet her end?
After all, judging from the biography of the counterpart, he was not only a Soft Rice King, but also seemed to bring misfortune to his wives.
No matter how capable he might be, once married, she surely won’t survive beyond a few years, at most three to five months...
Naturally, this whole biography is just a brief account of Liu Qiantan’s life experiences, and Zhou Changwang couldn’t possibly learn much from it.
The only value he found was the mentioned information about sects and marketplaces in the Celestial River Domain.
Additionally, he also learned that the so-called ’Yuehe Square’ is a property of the dual-cultivation sect Yuehe Sect, and Liu Qiantan’s cultivation of the "Golden Cauldron Combined Cultivation Technique" aids in bedroom affairs...
