Chapter 1
: The Flower of Love
"Young master..."
"Be gentle, I'm afraid of pain..."
In a room of less than ten square meters.
A fair-skinned, beautiful young woman, whose stunning figure could not be concealed by her thin silk robe, lightly covered her chest and gave a flirtatious wink to a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth opposite her.
"Senior Sister Xu, you know me, I'm famously fast..."
The boy smiled shyly.
"Oh, really?" Xu Yan's eyes were alluring as she lightly lifted her silk robe and giggled, "Then let your senior sister experience just how..."
The word "fast" hadn't even been uttered yet.
A chilling white light flashed by.
The shy and timid boy, who had just been so, now held the woman's wrist with a solemn expression. Strands of bright red blood flowed from the woman's fingertips and dripped precisely into the jade bowl on the table.
The blood fell into the jade bowl, and seemed to surge like a living thing.
The room was filled with a sweet, cloying fragrance, and faint sounds of panting and moaning could be heard.

"So spiritual..."
Seeing this, Li Changsheng was not surprised but pleased, and stared intently.
Wisps of smoke appeared out of nowhere.
They converged into an information panel that only he could see.
[Hehuan Spirit Blood: Spirit blood nourished by the mixed spiritual energy and "lust" techniques of cultivators of the "Hehuan Path," which can be used to enhance the quality of the "Love Flower" seed...]
"It meets the requirements..."
Li Changsheng was overjoyed. He put away the panel and praised her lavishly, "Her blood exudes a unique fragrance and radiates a magical light. I estimate that it won't be long before Senior Sister Xu breaks through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, right?"
He paused, then joked:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to afford Senior Sister Xu's spirit blood by then..."
"Can't afford it?"
Xu Yan rolled her eyes at him, smoothed her hair, and smiled, "Who doesn't know that 'Spirit Plant Masters' are skilled in cultivating spirit fields and can continuously extract resources from the ground?..."
As she spoke, she touched her cheek and lamented to herself:
"Unlike me, I can only do some dirty business at night and sell spiritual blood during the day just to barely make ends meet in my cultivation."
"Senior sister, don't you know that being a spirit plant master is even more difficult..."
Li Changsheng shook his head and sighed.
Although "Spiritual Plant Masters" are born with the mysterious "Life Sac," they can nurture ordinary spiritual seeds into "Life Seeds," which have many wonderful uses.
But who doesn't know how arduous it is to cultivate the "seed of destiny"?
The difference between ordinary "life seeds" and spirit seeds is not much; the difference is that they bear fruit and produce more spiritual resources, but not by much.
To unlock the advantages of a "seed of destiny," one needs to continuously invest resources to optimize its quality, freeing it from its original constraints and allowing it to generate extraordinary spiritual resources before it can be considered to have truly entered the inner sanctum.
Optimizing "life seed" sounds simple, but it's difficult to do.
If the direction is wrong, not only will spiritual resources be wasted, but the result may also be counterproductive.
can only say.
Optimizing your "life seed" is like taking a gamble and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Success brings joy to all, while failure is a waste of time.
As for Xu Yan's self-pity...
Li Changsheng really wanted to spit in her face.
We are all disciples of Yuanhe Mountain, a third-rate sect in the demonic path.
Everyone knows everyone else.
Xu Yan cultivates the "Hehuan" path, which is known for making money—the kind of money you can earn while lying down. Moreover, she is full of vital essence and can sell spiritual blood to subsidize her cultivation.
It is simply one of the best paths for beginner disciples.
As long as you're willing to put aside your pride.
They are far better than him, who toils from the ground for a living.
If it weren't for Li Changsheng's awakening of his cheat ability and his "spiritual plant master" talent...
Perhaps we'll have to embark on this broad road to prosperity.
A few moments of silence followed.
As if lost in thought, Xu Yan's alluring charm faded, replaced by weariness. She rested her elbow on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and stared blankly at Li Changsheng, muttering to herself:
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, junior brother. I was born into a wealthy family and have never had to worry about food or clothing since I was a child. I may not be an expert in all the arts, but I have achieved some success. I am just waiting to find a good man to spend my life with."
"But ever since I started cultivating immortality..."
"I want to be a bride every night..."
"Junior Brother Li, do you think my cultivation as an immortal is worthwhile?"
"Isn't it good to be a bride every night?..."
Li Changsheng was speechless. He looked up and saw Xu Yan looking detached and indifferent to worldly desires. He suppressed his words, frowned, and then understood when he saw the jade bowls on the table that were almost full.
Seeing Xu Yan's worldly-wise appearance, he assumed she had truly seen through it all, but it turned out she had just had too many injections...
It triggered her passive "saintly state".
Is cultivating immortality worth it?
Isn't that obvious? Of course it's worth it!
Who wouldn't want to travel to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains in the evening, to behold the blue sky and climb the sun and moon? To become an immortal, carefree sage?
Fearing he would lose spirit stones, Li Changsheng hurriedly dispersed the spiritual energy he had been maintaining on Xu Yan's fingertips to draw blood. Not daring to say anything more, he took out a low-grade spirit stone, about the size of a thumb and milky white, from his pocket and reluctantly stuffed it into Xu Yan's hand.
He personally helped her out the door, and said goodbye with a smile and a cupped hand.
"Take care, Senior Sister Xu..."
A gentle breeze blows by.
Xu Yan snapped out of her daze, feeling the cool, foreign object against her chest. She gave Li Changsheng a coquettish glare and giggled:
"Come visit your older sister sometime..."
After speaking, he moved his feet slightly, as light as a willow, and disappeared at the end of the road in a few leaps.
I watched Xu Yan leave.
Li Changsheng couldn't wait to return to the small courtyard, pick up the jade bowl on the table, and walk to the backyard.
The backyard is not big.
It has only about seven-tenths of an acre of land, where many fruits and vegetables are grown.
In the center of the vegetable garden.
A small plot of land was set aside, where a strange plant, about half a person's height, with dark black leaves and covered with dense, sharp thorns, was planted.
Li Changsheng quickly walked to the strange plant and carefully poured all the spiritual blood from the jade bowl onto its roots, leaving not a trace.
He raised his hand and touched a leaf on the plant, staring intently at it.
An information panel appeared out of thin air.
[Target: Love Flower (Destiny Seed)]
[Growth Period]
[Attribute: Illusion]
[Effect: Aphrodisiac]
[Level: Lower grade spiritual species]
Quality: ★
Status: Healthy
That's his magic touch.
The "Eye of Cultivation" possesses the ability to detect, collect, record, and analyze the results.
A passive ability of a character in a farming-themed mini-game.
Under Li Changsheng's gaze.
The "Love Flower" variety has pink spots that suddenly appear on its dark leaves, resembling stars. Wisps of pink smoke, barely visible to the naked eye, emerge from the leaves, like snakes and insects, winding and swirling around them.
"It's done!..."
Li Changsheng was overjoyed.
The panel distorted for a moment.
A new panel appeared.
[Target: Love Flower (Destiny Seed)]
[Growth Period]
[Attribute: Illusion]
[Effect: Aphrodisiac]
[Level: Lower grade spiritual species]
Quality: ★
[Derived Spiritual Talent: Emotion]
Status: Healthy
The quality of the "Love Flower" seed remains unchanged.
However, freed from the constraints of the old spiritual seed, it gave rise to a special spiritual quality called "emotion and temperament".
"Passion..."
Li Changsheng stared at the section on derived spiritual resources, and a sudden realization welled up in his heart.
"Emotional Qi" is a low-grade spiritual resource.
Its effect is simple and direct: it helps boost Yang energy.
Additionally, by irrigating the body with the "spiritual blood" of a cultivator practicing the "Joyful Union" path every half month, one can obtain thirty-six strands of "emotional energy".
Furthermore, as the rank and quality of "Love Flower" increase, the amount of "Love Energy" produced will increase, and the quality will also improve accordingly.
"Finally, we're out of the rice-starving phase..."
Upon learning the information, Li Changsheng could not hide his joy.
Although the value of "emotional energy" is unknown, a low-grade spiritual talent is at least worth half a low-grade spirit stone, right?
The "Love Flower" generates thirty-six kinds of "love energy".
That's eighteen low-grade spirit stones.
One word.
"Cool!…"
"Be gentle, I'm afraid of pain..."
In a room of less than ten square meters.
A fair-skinned, beautiful young woman, whose stunning figure could not be concealed by her thin silk robe, lightly covered her chest and gave a flirtatious wink to a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth opposite her.
