Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 18: Entering Cultivation

Mo Sect, Mirror Moon Valley.

This place is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, with a pleasant scenery. Birds and animals filled with spiritual energy roam freely without fear of humans.

The valley is simple, with only a bamboo building standing not far from the lake.

At night, a young child dressed in black clothes sits under a willow tree by the Mirror Lake, practicing meditation. It is Xia Fan, who has just embarked on his cultivation journey.

It has been over half a month since his marriage, and he has successfully entered cultivation.

As a married man, he wanted to deepen his relationship with his wife, but it seems he was thinking too much.

After giving him a jade scroll engraved with the practice method called "Longevity Technique," Liu Shifei announced that she would go into seclusion to heal her injuries.

In the end, it was Sect Master Zuo Kuangsheng who personally guided him in Qi Absorption and started his cultivation.

When he saw the plain name, he didn't feel like practicing. It lacked elegance. But as the Sect Master said, the "Longevity Technique" is the authentic inheritance of his wife's lineage, and ordinary people cannot learn it. This dispelled his concerns.

The Qi Absorption stage is about opening up the meridians in the body, allowing the spiritual energy to circulate through the body and complete a full cycle. It is also known as the Meridian Opening stage.

"Phew~"

Exhaling a breath of impurity, Xia Fan nodded in satisfaction. Although his cultivation speed was not extraordinary, it was still within the normal range.

The Qi Absorption stage is a slow and steady process. No cultivation method can rapidly improve at this stage, as it is the foundation of cultivation.

Stretching lazily, Xia Fan lay back against the willow tree, bored as he looked at the Mirror Lake in front of him. He knew his wife was cultivating below.

The moonlight filled the sky, and the Empty Orchid Valley was tranquil. In the distance, fireflies danced above the reed marsh, creating a picturesque scene.

"I'm not old yet, but I want to rely on social security. At such a young age, I'm troubled!"

Cultivation is inherently dull, and there are no entertainment activities in this world, which is quite annoying. I really want to play a few rounds of King of Glory during my cultivation breaks. I, Li Bai, am a thief at it.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the sounds of flowers, birds, fish, and insects around him disappeared, leaving an eerie silence.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

On the lake, a disheveled woman in a red dress floated towards him step by step, emitting a chilling laughter from her mouth.

"Giggle~"

As the woman reached the shore, she slowly lifted her hair, revealing a horrifying face covered in blood and flesh, with maggots crawling in her eye sockets.

With a twisted smile that reached her ears, the woman revealed a mouthful of black teeth and said in a sinister tone, "Hungry~ hungry~ smells so good~"

Then, a pair of ghostly claws slowly reached out towards him.

Seeing the ghostly claws about to touch his face, Xia Fan calmly raised his hand and said, "Here comes, sis."

"Where's the food? Hurry up, I'm starving!"

The eerie atmosphere instantly disappeared with his words.

In an instant, the terrifying and gloomy atmosphere vanished without a trace, replaced by the serene scenery of the Empty Orchid Valley.

"How did you know it was me?"

As she spoke, a charming woman in a black veil appeared, holding a lunchbox in her hand. It was none other than Lin Su.

"Besides you, no one else is so boring!"

"Forget it, just eat. I don't know how you managed to cultivate at such a young age. You're not even afraid of ghosts!" Lin Su said helplessly.

Taking the lunchbox, Xia Fan smiled and replied, "I'm still a child. Isn't it normal to be hungry?"

"And besides, I'm afraid of ghosts, but they haven't harmed me at all. I'm not afraid of people, but people have hurt me all over!"

For the past half month, Lin Su has taken on the responsibility of taking care of him. There's no other way, she's the one with the most free time.

Moreover, ordinary disciples can't enter Mirror Moon Valley, so she had to come by herself.

As for why he is so calm, it's simply because he has been teased by her for the past half month and has become immune to it.

He still remembers the first time Lin Su pretended to be a ghost to scare him. At that time, he almost wet himself, or rather, a few drops did come out. But when something happens repeatedly, one gets used to it.

And Lin Su's methods of scaring him are nothing more than transforming into a ferocious beast, a ghost with an elongated tongue, or a ghost city with dancing spirits.

To him, as long as he is mentally prepared, it's similar to watching a domestically produced horror movie with the sound turned off, and it's even a bit funny.

Furthermore, what kind of place is this? It's the heartland of the Demon Sect. If even a lonely soul or wild ghost can enter, he would consider changing sects.

"Huh? Where's the meat? Why is everything vegetarian? Don't they know I need to grow my body? Did you steal my meat?" Xia Fan complained angrily while flipping through the dishes in the lunchbox.

It was filled with boiled vegetarian dishes, not a single piece of meat.

"Ugh, I've already passed the period of fasting. It's not a problem for me to not eat, but stealing from me!" Xia Fan retorted.

"Then why is there no meat?"

"There's no meat in the sect!"

Xia Fan: ???

What kind of excuse is this? He couldn't understand it at all.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Fasting is not allowed in the sect. Everyone is practicing in the outer sect close to human habitation. Now, you're the only one who can't fast. Where am I supposed to find meat for you?" Lin Su said angrily, not at all like an elder.

"Forget it, it's better to rely on myself. I think the fish in the lake looks good!" Xia Fan licked his lips as he spoke.

It was so difficult to join a sect, and the food was worse than in a brothel. Damn!

"I advise you not to catch the attention of the fish in the lake."

"Why?"

"Because you might not be able to beat them!"

Xia Fan: ...

While they were talking, a green carp about one meter long suddenly leaped out of the mirror lake and splashed back into the water with a thud.

Forget it, he couldn't beat it anyway. The fish was almost bigger than him. If he got eaten by the fish with his small body...

"Kid, I heard that several sects want to form an alliance with you recently. What do you think?"

"Who are you calling a kid? Call me ancestor!"

"Heh, can't I still discipline you?"

Soon after, a series of slapping sounds came from the edge of the mirror lake.

"Damn it, it's my wife."

"Your wife grew up with me. You can't control me!"

After a while, Xia Fan gave in. The relationships in the Demon Sect were really complicated. Even the sect master had to call his wife "Master Uncle." The person in front of him, who was one generation younger than the sect master, turned out to be his wife's sister.

"Tell me, what do you think?" After beating the brat, Lin Su seemed much happier.

"Do I have a say in this matter? I think it depends on my wife and the sect's opinion!"

"That's true!"

Since the day his luck saved Liu Shifei from divine punishment, the news spread immediately. With so many people at the entrance of the Demon Sect, the news couldn't be kept secret.

Resisting divine punishment was very attractive to those above the third realm. So in recent days, people from other sects had been coming to communicate and ask if they could form an alliance. They didn't need to get married, just sign a marriage contract.

Although the luck he obtained couldn't compare to Liu Shifei, who was the legitimate wife, it was still an irresistible existence.

On the main peak's grand hall, a large group of sect elders had gathered.

"Sect Master, with so many treasures, we're making a killing!"

"I think so too. We only need to sign a marriage contract, and the person will be in our hands!"

"Senior Brother, not to mention anything else, the Celestial Fragrance Gate's Heaven Covering Formation, the Dao Sect's Changchun Pill, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Tu Mountain Lineage's Calamity Breaking Pill, even if we can't use them, our ancestors need them so much!" Elder Sun said.

The former was a formation that allowed highly cultivated individuals to avoid heavenly tribulations, while the latter two were pills for longevity and eliminating the power of heavenly tribulations.

Even in the cultivation world, these were precious treasures that no one would be uninterested in.

"But wait, isn't the Calamity Breaking Pill something only the Dao Sect can refine?" someone asked.

Regarding this, the Left Sect Master explained, "According to the people from their sect, it was a gift from the second-generation Celestial Master of the Dao Sect to the Tu Mountain Patriarch. It should be true."

"Sect Master, I think this deal can be done!"

"I agree too!"

Everyone had different opinions for a while. In response, the Left Madman couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with the Master Uncle of Mirror Moon Valley."
