I wish to take you as my furnace cauldron

Murong Chen led Lin Qishuang straight into the innermost hall of the city lord's mansion.

Inside the main hall, a lavish banquet had already been laid out, but only one person sat in the main seat.

The fact that all the other seats were empty seemed particularly strange.

After entering the inner hall, Murong Chen's attitude became increasingly humble and respectful.

"Senior Liu, the person has been brought!"

When Lin Qishuang looked up, she saw that the man was wearing a bright red robe, with a handsome face, but with an indescribable eerie aura.

Upon seeing Lin Qishuang arrive, the man immediately put down the folding fan he was playing with.

His gaze fell lightly on Lin Qishuang, as if he were appraising a rare treasure, his greed and desire undisguised.

While sizing the newcomer up, he casually asked, "You're the legendary Qingping Sword Immortal?!"

Murong Hai, who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, was standing respectfully to the side of the main seat, bowing his head.

His face was full of flattery, and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Clearly, this Golden Core cultivator was the "distinguished guest" that Murong Chen had mentioned.

This is also the real reason why the father and son repeatedly harassed Lin Qishuang.

Stared at like that, Lin Qishuang gripped the Qingping Sword tightly, her eyes growing even colder.

"So you're the one who insisted on seeing me?"

The man in red raised his eyes, a bewitching smile playing on his lips, his tone flippant and arrogant: "Indeed, it is I. I am Liu Qinghan, an elder of the Hehuan Sect."

Lin Qishuang, who had been quite calm, was immediately shocked when she heard this name!

Clearly, she had heard of this name.

Lin Xiao, watching from outside the screen, was also somewhat surprised.

Because, immediately after this person appeared, a text notification appeared.

[Ding: The heretical cultivator, Golden Core True Person Liu Qinghan, is within 100 meters of you. Please protect your chastity!]

"What the hell?!"

Upon seeing this notification, Lin Xiao was speechless.

What does it mean to protect one's chastity?

However, humorous as it may be, this person is definitely not an ordinary character, since they can get the system to issue a notification.

At the very least, this person is the first Golden Core cultivator he has seen in this game so far.

Of course, this excludes Lin Qishuang's master, Xuanling Zhenren, who appears in the opening CG.

I originally thought it was just Murong Hai and his son, and maybe Li Rusong at most.

Unexpectedly, another Golden Core cultivator has suddenly appeared.

The difficulty level is getting higher and higher each time!

Therefore, it seems I need to change my strategy.

Just as Lin Xiao was pondering what to do next, Liu Qinghan, the elder of the Hehuan Sect, had already arrived at Lin Qishuang's side in the inner hall.

After carefully examining Lin Qishuang from head to toe, Liu Qinghan exclaimed with delight:

"I had long heard that the Sword Immortal Qingping possessed a pure Yin constitution, making her a rare innate furnace for cultivation. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

"A furnace?" A surge of fury flashed in Lin Qishuang's eyes, and her sword intent suddenly erupted.

Even though she was seriously injured and her cultivation had not recovered, even though she knew that the person in front of her was the infamous Hehuan Zhenren in the Cangxuan Realm, she would never allow anyone to humiliate her like this.

"Liu Qinghan, don't talk nonsense! Even if I, Lin Qishuang, die and my cultivation dissipates, I will never become your furnace!"

"Oh?" Liu Qinghan raised an eyebrow, his eerie smile widening, his tone full of disdain and domineering.

"It is your good fortune that I have taken a liking to you. If you know what's good for you, you should obediently submit to me and become my furnace, and I might spare your life."

"If you don't know what's good for you, I'll cripple your cultivation and forcibly take you as my cultivation vessel, ensuring you'll never rise again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qinghan raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful aura of a Golden Core cultivator instantly erupted.

A terrifying pressure descended, and Lin Qishuang trembled instantly, her legs going weak.

He almost couldn't even hold onto the Qingping Sword in his hand.

Even at her peak, she was far from being a match for a Golden Core cultivator, let alone now!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qishuang's internal organs were shaken by this terrifying pressure.

"puff……"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lin Qishuang couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, her Qingping sword plunging straight into the ground.

Even so, she still looked up and stared at the person in front of her with a resolute and unyielding gaze.

Standing to the side, Murong Hai and his son felt the terrifying pressure, and their fawning expressions became even more intense.

Murong Chen stepped forward and sneered at Lin Qishuang, "Lin Qishuang, you'd better know your place and submit to Elder Liu! Elder Liu is a Golden Core cultivator, and you're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. You don't actually think you can resist, do you?!"

Murong Hai smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Fairy Lin, Elder Liu is incredibly powerful. You should just go along with him! Otherwise, you'll only make things worse for yourself and end up in a miserable state!"

The father and son had long known Liu Qinghan's purpose.

In fact, Liu Qinghan only learned about Lin Qishuang's situation because Murong Chen reported it to her.

The reason he repeatedly harassed Lin Qishuang was to curry favor with Liu Qinghan and to use Liu Qinghan's Golden Core strength to intimidate Lin Qishuang.

Today, as long as Lin Qishuang is taken in by Liu Qinghan as a cultivation vessel, the father and son will be able to completely climb the tree of the Hehuan Sect.

Lin Qishuang held on tightly, her eyes filled with defiance and anger, but she did not back down in the slightest.

Lin Xiao, watching the scene unfold before him, was already seething with rage, his anger erupting instantly.

"What Joyful Union Sect? What kind of Golden Core cultivators are they? How dare they lay a finger on my person and even try to use her as a cultivation vessel? They're practically asking for death!"

[Ding: Your sword immortal wife is being pressured by a Golden Core expert. Do you want to increase your cultivation to intimidate the enemy?!]

Yes or no!

Just as Lin Xiao was getting anxious, a system notification finally appeared on the screen.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao clicked "Yes" immediately!

[The Golden Core cultivator is a powerful character in this game, and it is not easy to intimidate him. Are you willing to pay the price?]

"Damn it, at a time like this, you're still babbling on and on. All you want is money, right?!"

Lin Xiao cursed inwardly, having completely grasped the nature of this game.

Sure enough, as soon as he made his choice, the game interface in front of him immediately displayed a prompt again.

[Ding: Given the power of the Golden Core True Person, there are currently three options available for the host to choose from.]

1. The host can recharge 100,000 to gain Nascent Soul cultivation for 15 minutes!

Second: The host can recharge 10,000 to purchase a Thunder Talisman, which can injure a Golden Core cultivator!

Three: The host can recharge 1,000 to gain the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator for thirty seconds!

Upon seeing the three options provided by the system, Lin Xiao's vision went black, and he almost coughed up blood.

He had expected this crappy game to take advantage of his misfortune, but he still underestimated its integrity!
