"System, do you have any Dao Companion candidates who can speed up my Body Refining Cultivation?"
Zhou Fan checked his panel again and found that his current Dao Companion boost was still too small.
If he could get a few more boosts that increased Cultivation speed, the Luck value consumed by Cultivation wouldn't be so much.
"Reporting, Host! Yes, yes, Host's Mortal legal wife, Jiang Qingzhi, after forming a Dao Companion relationship with her, Host's Physical Body recovery speed and regeneration ability will increase threefold. At that time, Host's Body Refining Cultivation speed can increase a bit."
"Additionally, the Son of Destiny Jiang Yan has another important female lead. After Host forms a Dao Companion relationship with her, Host's Body Refining Cultivation speed can increase to three times its original speed."
"Jiang Yan's other important female lead? The Queen of the Snake-Human Race?"
Zhou Fan only knew about the ten-year original plotline of the Son of Destiny Jiang Yan. Whether his other important female lead was human or snake, he would only know after seeing her.
Counting the time, it wouldn't take long.
Zhou Fan was not in a hurry to increase his strength now. His dual fifth-stage Cultivation was already top-notch in the remote Qingyun State.
It was a good time to rest and recuperate. Since coming to the Cultivation World, Zhou Fan had frequently used his brain, feeling like his cerebellum was about to degenerate.
He would save his Luck value for now. When Jiang Yan's ring-old-grandma awakened, he would follow Jiang Yan and take his other female lead.
After making a simple plan for the next period, Zhou Fan relaxed and began to enjoy the endlessly comfortable and varied Immortal days on Yin Yang Peak.
During this time, he chatted idly with Lu Wan Ning, the Palace Master of Morning Dawn Palace, who was the most beautiful woman of the Xuanyuan Dynasty a century ago.
He asked her why she believed in fatalism, why a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator would be manipulated by the Joyous Chan Sect and decide to marry the champion of the Trial of the Dao Heroes Assembly whom she had never met.
Lu Wan Ning said that she didn't actually believe in fatalism, and her comments at the time were just an excuse to make Bei Lingyin leave.
The truth was that the Sect Master of the Joyous Chan Sect had a grudge against Ye Xianyu. Two hundred years ago, when Lu Wan Ning and Ye Xianyu were traveling together in Qingyun State, they saw that bald donkey committing evil and demonic acts.
Ye Xianyu had originally descended the mountain to eliminate demons to achieve a clear conscience and accumulate good deeds. Therefore, he intervened when he saw injustice and fiercely battled that bald donkey.
Lu Wan Ning assisted from the side, and the bald donkey was quickly cut off an arm by Ye Xianyu, then used an escape technique that burned his life essence to flee.
Ye Xianyu didn't pursue him further, and the two never saw that bald donkey again.
A few years ago, that bald donkey suddenly came to Morning Dawn Palace. His Cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, and his identity had transformed, becoming the Sect Master of the Joyous Chan Sect.
He came to talk with Lu Wan Ning, intending to threaten her with the Mortal common people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so that Lu Wan Ning would Dual Cultivate with him.
Although Lu Wan Ning was a Saintess, she found this bald donkey too disgusting, so she refused his request.
Seeing that this method was not working, the bald donkey had to settle for a compromise, demanding that Lu Wan Ning must marry the champion of the next Trial of the Dao Heroes Assembly.
This bald donkey held grudges and had deep hatred for Ye Xianyu. Since Ye Xianyu was missing and he couldn't find him for revenge, he would start with Ye Xianyu's woman and turn Lu Wan Ning into another man's plaything.
Lu Wan Ning accepted this proposal. Although she still worried about Ye Xianyu in her heart, they hadn't seen each other for over two hundred years, and the once deep feelings of traveling together had almost vanished under the erosion of time.
If merely marrying someone else could spare the common people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty from unwarranted disaster, then Lu Wan Ning was willing.
Thus, there was the scene where the Palace Master of Morning Dawn Palace, the Saintess of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, was brought by Qin Li and delivered to him.
After listening to Lu Wan Ning's narration, Zhou Fan looked at her overly voluptuous figure, slapped his palm down hard, and spent seven days severely punishing this "foolish Saintess."
A few days later, Xuanyuan Qingyu came to visit. Zhou Fan knew this unrestrained Empress was thinking again, so he had a friendly exchange with her for a few days.
Through their exchange, Zhou Fan learned that the destruction of the Lingjian Sect a few years ago was also related to the Sect Master of the Joyous Chan Sect.
That bald donkey spent a large amount of resources to stir up public opinion in the imperial court, asking the Xuanyuan Empress to eliminate the Lingjian Sect.
The Lingjian Sect was a Sect that Ye Xianyu had personally established. When Ye Xianyu was alive, this Sect was relatively normal, but after Ye Xianyu disappeared for two hundred years, many corrupt elements emerged within the Lingjian Sect, and they indeed committed many acts of oppressing the local people.
Xuanyuan Qingyu had originally intended to send people to rectify the Lingjian Sect's bad practices, but after the Sect Master of the Joyous Chan Sect offered a large amount of resources, the Lingjian Sect was destroyed just like that.
Without the protection of Luoyun Temple, the Lingjian Sect was just a small Sect.
After understanding the full story, Zhou Fan spent a few more days severely punishing this greedy and unrestrained Empress.
As a result, Xuanyuan Qingyu was so happy that her eyes rolled back, seemingly very fond of Zhou Fan's reward.
After settling down, Zhou Fan made a trip to the Joyous Chan Sect.
He found that the bald donkeys of the Joyous Chan Sect were quite adept at causing trouble. Coincidentally, when he went there, his Divine Sense detected that the people of the Joyous Chan Sect had somehow lured another group of ignorant young girls from who-knows-where.
Could Zhou Fan tolerate this? He only liked to act as a villain himself. Seeing others attempting evil and demonic deeds, Zhou Fan naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
He unleashed his Soul Transformation Stage Cultivation, and his Domain enveloped the Joyous Chan Sect.
Zhou Fan casually destroyed this filthy Sect, sending everyone in the entire Sect neatly to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
He rescued dozens of ignorant young girls. For those who wanted to go home, Zhou Fan sent them home.
There were also more than ten young girls who, after witnessing Zhou Fan's Immortal power, wanted to become his Disciple or serve as his maidservants.
Zhou Fan originally intended to refuse, but seeing that the number of his descendants on his panel was just short of 1000, Zhou Fan ultimately decided to do some good deeds that would benefit the Immortal Realm.
Because these girls had poor Aptitude, Zhou Fan did not accept them as Disciples.
Returning to Yin Yang Peak, Zhou Fan opened a new Immortal Cave with a hidden passage to the heavens not far from his Fairy Master's Immortal Cave.
In a flash, nearly two more years passed.
Zhou Fan's descendants without Spiritual Roots exceeded 1000, and those with Spiritual Roots exceeded 10. His Alchemy skill reached the fourth stage, and his Artifact Refining skill reached the third stage.
At the same time, Ji Qingchan, under Zhou Fan's day-after-day patient guidance, recovered her true memories, yet still became a close friend with Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan gained 12,000 Luck points, bringing his Luck balance to 24,800 points.
On this day, Zhou Fan's brain came back online.
He came to the Jiang Family. With his fifth-stage Cultivation, no one could detect Zhou Fan.
Entering the guest hall, he happened to catch Jiang Yan's fiancée, Tantai Yanran, coming to annul the engagement.
Tantai Yanran, dressed in the moon-white Personal Disciple robes of the Yunxiu Sect, her beautiful face serene, spoke in a calm tone:
"My father was ignorant in his youth and made a childhood engagement with the Jiang Family's Clan Chief."
"Today, I, Tantai Yanran, have come to the Jiang Family for one purpose: to annul the engagement."
