……

The game prompts flooded the screen uncontrollably, and Gu Liuyun’s body stiffened, breaking out in a cold sweat. Infusing the body with aura was a rare opportunity, typically occurring in regions with exceptionally dense spiritual energy, allowing for rapid cultivation improvement. However, it had a strong physical impact. One might meet an explosive end if one couldn’t endure it.

At this moment, Gu Liuyun hadn’t embarked on body training, leaving his body incredibly fragile, unable to withstand the intense aura infusion, causing his stamina to deplete rapidly.

With only 1,000 points of stamina, he could endure for no more than 2 minutes at best. Gu Liuyun desired to escape the situation, but the powerful aura storm had completely ensnared him, rendering him unable even to lift a finger, forcing him to endure.

“Damn it, I hope I will not meet my end due to this aura infusion. That will be quite a ridiculous way to go!”

In the main hall of the peak, after a casual conversation with Tianluan, Murong Qianxue was giving her respects and preparing to depart. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy burst into the hall, causing their clothes to flutter audibly. Murong Qianxue was momentarily shocked, but before she could react, her master Tianluan’s expression turned alarmed.

“Not good! Gu Liuyun is in danger!!!”

Before the words had left her mouth, Tianluan transformed into a streak of light and raced to the peak. Startled, Murong Qianxue quickly followed. Tianluan was exceptionally swift, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the peak, seeing Gu Liuyun struggling with the infusion of spiritual energy.

“Gu Liuyun!”

Tianluan turned pale in worry and immediately entered the spiritual energy storm, taking Gu Liuyun into his arms and projecting his energy to shield the spiritual energy away.

“Gu Liuyun, are you okay?” Asked Tianluan.

By now, Gu Liuyun’s skin had ruptured, blood continuously seeping out, saturating his clothes. Feeling the soft touch and catching a whiff of a faint fragrance, Gu Liuyun strained to open his eyes and saw Tianluan’s anxious expression.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and managed a smile. “It’s a shame. I almost made history by dying from a spiritual energy infusion.”

Observing his bloodied face and mischievous demeanor, Tianluan burst into laughter, looking as beautiful as a blossoming flower, and said, “You naughty boy, you nearly gave your teacher a heart attack.”

At this moment, Murong Qianxue had also arrived, and she immediately spotted Tianluan at the center of the spiritual energy storm and Gu Liuyun, who was covered in blood.

“Junior Brother! Master!”

She raised her head and looked at the Spirit Gathering Formation in the sky. With a quick hand seal, she cast a spell.

Hum!

With a light sound, under Murong Qianxue’s control, the Spirit Gathering Formation accelerated, and the spiritual energy storm gradually dissipated. As the storm cleared, Murong Qianxue immediately rushed in.

“Master, how is the younger brother?” Asked Murong Qianxue.

Tianluan didn’t respond immediately but retrieved a spiritual pill from her hand and personally fed it to Gu Liuyun. With the pill in his stomach, the potent medicinal effects swiftly coursed through his body. Gu Liuyun’s stamina rapidly recovered, and his injuries instantly healed.

Gu Liuyun grinned and said to Murong Qianxue, “Senior Sister, I’m fine…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden surge of pain emanated from his dantian, causing his expression to change dramatically. Witnessing this, both Tianluan and Murong Qianxue were astonished.@@novelbin@@

“Gu Liuyun!”

“Brother!”

Gu Liuyun, despite the comfort of Tianluan’s embrace, quickly got up and sat cross-legged, assuming a meditation position with his eyes closed. Tianluan and Murong Qianxue were left bewildered at his sudden behavior.

Murong Qianxue hesitated and asked, “Master… is our junior brother… about to break through again?”

Tianluan slowly rose to her feet, staring at Gu Liuyun sitting on the ground in contemplative silence, and said, “It seems so.”

Murong Qianxue was left speechless. He had only recently reached the mid-stage of Qi Refinement, and now he was on the verge of another breakthrough after experiencing a spiritual energy infusion. After approximately the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Gu Liuyun’s body suddenly trembled, and the surrounding spiritual energy slowly dissipated.

[Ding! Congratulations on your breakthrough to the late stage of Luck training, acquired spiritual resources +30! ].

Gu Liuyun opened his eyes, feeling the growing strength of the aura within him, and he was quite satisfied. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He stood from the ground, turned to Tianluan and Murong Qianxue, and respectfully bowed, smiling, “Thank you, Master and Senior Sister, for saving my life.”

Murong Qianxue smiled and shook her head, saying, “As long as you’re fine, congratulations on your further progress in cultivation.”

Tianluan, looking at him covered in blood, simply rolled her eyes and said, “Such a troublesome kid. Go take a bath and change your clothes.”

Gu Liuyun scratched his head and asked, “Where can I wash?”

Tianluan, now recalling that this young man had just arrived today and hadn’t even been assigned a room sighed helplessly and said, “Well, go to my place for now. I’ll have someone arrange a room for you later.”

Gu Liuyun chuckled and said, “Thank you, Master.”

…

“Brother Gu, is the water temperature suitable?”

A clear female voice came from outside the door, belonging to one of Tianluan’s maids.

“The water temperature is perfect, thank you,” Gu Liuyun replied.

Gu Liuyun lay comfortably in the bathtub in Tianluan’s chamber, enjoying the warm water. Perhaps because Tianluan frequently bathed here, the entire bath carried the same subtle, lingering fragrance as her.

“Mmm, this is so comfortable, but it still can’t compare to the embrace of the master. I should have stayed there a little longer,” said Gu Liuyun.

Gu Liuyun stretched lazily and mumbled to himself with a tinge of regret.

“Oh? Would you like to stay in my embrace a little longer?”

Suddenly, a seductive, feminine voice echoed behind, causing Gu Liuyun to shiver instantly!
