The only thing he lacked now was magic items.
After all, up until now, Lu Yuan had not come across any magic items suitable for him.
His mixed cultivation played a part in this. He had not decided on magic items and magic instruments that were suitable for him.
The only magic instrument that Lu Yuan had now was a mid-grade magic instrument, the Qingyun Sword.
The Qingyun Sword was a magic instrument that every direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect could obtain.
Its specialty was that it had no specialty and was just average.
However, Lu Yuan did not have time nor suitable materials for weapon refinement now.
…..
If he had such things, he would have prepared to start learning weapon refinement himself.
Once he learnt how to do so, he would be able to forge any magic instruments he wanted.
However, magic instruments were not part of Lu Yuan’s plans for the time being.
He still prioritized his proficiency and cultivation.
After thinking about what he was going to do next, Lu Yuan returned to his regular life.
However, this time, he was no longer alone. He now had a maid, Xu Wan’er.
He cultivated during the day, taught Xu Wan’er how to cultivate in the afternoon, and cultivated again by himself at night. His life was fulfilling.
During this process, Xu Wan’er also displayed outstanding cultivation talent.
After fusing with the Jile Buddha Child, not only did her spiritual root aptitude increase, but her total aptitude of her water and Buddha spiritual roots also reached an astonishing 600 points.
Her water attribute aptitude was now at 300 points while her Buddha Wisdom Root aptitude was at 300 points.
Xu Wan’er had also absorbed all of Jile Buddha Child’s cultivation accumulated over the years.
As a result, she was already a level 7 Qi Cultivation cultivator.
Moreover, she was a rare dual cultivation cultivator.Apart from that, Xu Wan’er seemed to have also absorbed the cultivation memories of the Buddhist monk stored in the Jile Buddha Child.
However, because Xu Wan’er’s divine soul was not strong enough, she could only unlock a few memories.
Nevertheless, she still had access to some of the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the Jile Sect.
Among them was the Huanxi Sect’s unique cultivation technique, the Huanxi Prajna Sutra.
[Huanxi Prajna Sutra]
[Description: Severs the six emotions, leaving only joy.]
[Effect: Sacrifice the six emotions to cultivate joy alone in exchange for the ultimate Buddha nature. Can communicate with the Huanxi Jile Buddha and use various Buddhist divine abilities.]
Severing the six emotions referred to greatly suppressing the emotions of anger, worry, fear, love, hate, and desire.
In the end, only joy remained.
Cultivators who cultivated this technique showed very little emotions. Under normal circumstances, they were undoubtedly very consistent with the impression mortals had of eminent monks.
In fact, although the monks of the Huanxi Sect were called demonic monks by the righteous people, they rather resembled eminent monks when they were not taken over by their joy.
Since the only emotion they were left with was joy, the flaws in their personalities were very obvious.
There were many types of happiness, but most of the Huanxi Sect monks chose lust as their expression of joy, which made them lecherous.
Their lechery applied to both men and women.
They retained lust because the flaw of being lecherous was an easy one to overcome.
To help its members deal with their lust, the Huanxi Sect also had a corresponding replenishing cultivation technique.
Therefore, most of the cultivators of the Huanxi Sect also cultivated this replenishing cultivation technique.
After understanding the effects of the Huanxi Prajna Sutra, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that this cultivation technique could actually be combined with the Blood Soul Spell of the Xueyang Sect.
This was because the biggest side effect of the Blood Soul Spell of the Xueyang Sect was that those who practiced it could not suppress their desire for blood.
However, the Huanxi Sect’s Huanxi Prajna Sutra could do just that; it could sever their desire for blood.
Coincidentally, Xu Wan’er’s water and Buddha dual spiritual roots were very suitable for cultivating the Blood Soul Spell.
This was because the Blood Soul Spell used the divine soul to control the blood and execute various divine abilities.
In a sense, blood was also a type of water-attribute divine ability.
When Xu Wan’er’s cultivated the Blood Soul Spell, she would absorb too many divine souls and this would cause impurities to appear in her own divine soul.
Lu Yuan could use his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique to baptize her soul to resolve this problem.
It could be said that the Huanxi Prajna Sutra and the Blood Soul Spell were simply tailor-made for Xu Wan’er.
Initially, due to Xu Wan’er starting cultivation later than her peers, even with her outstanding spiritual roots, she would not be able to catch up with cultivators of the same age.
However, with the help of these two so-called demonic techniques, her cultivation speed might actually be on par with Lu Yuan.
Although Lu Yuan had no use for the demons imprisoned in the B-grade prison, it was not the case for Xu Wan’er.
Those demons were undoubtedly good nourishment for Xu Wan’er.
Therefore, for a period of time, Xu Wan’er followed Lu Yuan into the dungeon of the Devil Slayers Division many times.
The practitioners in the Devil Slayers Division gradually got used to seeing such a beautiful maid by Lu Yuan’s side whenever he came.
However, to their surprise, this maid was not a delicate flower like they had imagined, but a demoness who was growing at a rapid pace.
Lu Yuan stayed in the Devil Slayers Division and spent three years peacefully.
Three years later, in the Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Kingdom.
“So…The director of the Devil Slayers Division, Green Flame, hasn’t left the division even once in the past three years?”
Chen De’s face was filled with disbelief when he listened to the report of the Head Eunuch Zhao Youwei.
Puzzled, Eunuch Zhao concluded, “Your Majesty, according to my observation, this new Director Green Flame is really different from the previous directors.”
He added, “He doesn’t seem to have any interest in the Imperial City.”
“Ever since he came here, he hasn’t left the Devil Slayers Division.”
“He has shown no intention of visiting the imperial advisor or the other aristocratic families. He chooses to only stay in the Devil Slayers Division. It seems like he intends to stay there until the end of his term.”
Upon hearing this, Chen De could not help but interrupt, “Doesn’t he have any desires? Won’t he be bored staying in the Devil Slayers Division?”
The corners of Zhao Youwei’s mouth twitched subconsciously, as if there was something he didn’t want to say.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Zhao Youwei reported,”Your Majesty, according to my investigation, this new director seems to have a hobby…”
Chen De’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”
“He is lecherous.”
Lecherous?
Hearing this, Chen De’s expression turned ugly.
He was lecherous. He had not left the Devil Slayers Division for three years, but he still managed to snatch away Chen De’s reincarnated Goddess.
In an instant, Chen De felt as if he had been cheated on.
Green Flame was going too far!
Chen De was the emperor of the mortal world after all.
Even if Green Flame was an immortal from a celestial sect, he should not have overstepped his boundaries like that.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen De finally calmed down.
Then, his gaze gradually turned gloomy.
He declared, “Since he doesn’t want to come out, I can only think of a way to make him come out. Eunuch Zhao, how is the refining of the Blood Warrior Monks?”
“Your Majesty, the 10 Innate Blood Warrior Monks have all been refined. We can send them out now.”
Chen De nodded and said, “Release these 10 Blood Warrior Monks!”
He mumbled, “Two innate Blood Warrior Monks are comparable to a gold-rank great practitioner. A calamity of this level appearing in all parts of the Great Xia Kingdom at the same time is definitely not something the four gold-rank great practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division can handle.”
“As long as I can make the Devil Slayers Division feel pressured, then no matter how cowardly Green Flame is, he would have to emerge from his shell!”
…..
“I doubt that he can magically summon a few more Innate Stage martial artists or Foundation Establishment cultivators out of thin air to handle this mess.”
“As soon as Green Flame leaves the Devil Slayers Division, bring the Goddess back to me. After all, I don’t have much time left.”
Eunuch Zhao nodded. He looked at Chen De’s graying sideburns and his freckled cheeks.
The latter’s lifespan was about to run out.
The closer a person was to dying, the crazier they became.
At this moment, Chen De couldn’t care less about the safety of his subjects.
His best solution was actually to wait until Lu Yuan’s term of office to end. After the latter had left the Great Xia Kingdom, he could then find an opportunity to bring Xu Wan’er out.
However, Chen De clearly did not have enough time to wait for Lu Yuan to leave.
As long as Lu Yuan was in the Devil Slayers Division, Chen De would not be able to take Xu Wan’er away.
He had no choice but to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Given that he was about to die, he couldn’t care less if the 10 Blood Warrior Monks that he released to all parts of the Great Xia Kingdom caused a bloody storm.
He was determined to obtain Xu Wan’er’s Goddess body, even if it might cost the lives of countless commoners.
What did the lives of a group of mortals count for?
