Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 671: Effort in the Right Direction!

Luo Binglingʼs eyes lit up at Ye Chenʼs words. Previously, his gifts were just a single bottle, nothing more. Now, after Dao Charm Pills, another gift? Her curiosity surged. But she quickly calmed. Ye Chen wouldnʼt easily part with the Dao Cauldron. Other gifts? Beneath her notice. Instead of hoping, sheʼd strike, upping the ”dose” to fully captivate him.

She shook her head. ”Fellow Daoist Ye, no need. I gave you Yellow Spring Water not for rewards. Save your gifts for other female cultivators.”

She upheld her persona while subtly shading others. To cut him off, she lifted her hand, slipped off her golden boots, and placed her fair foot on his lap. Ye Chen raised a brow, unsurprised. Heʼd touched them before.

Under sunlight, her feet, slightly larger than Su Yuxuanʼs, were jade-like, blending delicacy with strength, flowing smoothly from heel to toe, like a silver crescent glowing softly. In short, fine feet.

Ye Chen, pondering bait, instinctively reached out. Her foot kicked his hand away. He froze—only look, no touch? But then, her foot nimbly slipped in. His pupils shrank, breath catching.

”Fairy Luo, not there…”

But she had her plan. Helpless, he let it be. His gaze on her grew complex. Her effort for the Dao Cauldron was escalating. Her learning was sharp—sheʼd mastered 90% of Su Yuxuanʼs signature move, adding her own flair. It brought a unique sensation. Crucially, he was driving. Anyone could see. The thrill was intense. He raised the chariot higher, hiding from prying eyes.

…

After a while, Luo Bingling lowered her head, face full of disdain, casting a cleansing spell to erase traces. Lifting her head, disdain gone, she smiled, seeing Ye Chen savoring the afterglow, eyes closed.

Sheʼd caught his complex expressions, his joy clear. She adjusted her rhythm by his subtle cues. Though her first time, she was sure she surpassed all before, including Su Yuxuan. She considered pushing further. Make him so blissful heʼd drool, head tilted, forgetting Su Yuxuan entirely—revenge for that splash. Her execution was swift.

As she moved to act, Ye Chen stopped her. Luo Bingling smirked, thinking Ye Chen was too easy to manipulate, just half-resisting. His firm grip on her foot surprised her, but she soon smiled. He spoke earnestly, ”Fairy Luo, pause. I said thereʼs another gift…”

She considered, then stopped, waiting.

Ye Chen planned to lay bait. The Dao Cauldron? Never. Even with a critical hit, it gave no feedback. But he needed to reward her enough to keep her hooked, lest she give up and leave. Before, her departure wouldnʼt matter. Now, he was reluctant.

Not due to her ”special” moves, but her Yellow Spring Water showed her potential. She was fishing; heʼd fish back. Make her feel the Dao Cauldron was close, keeping her by his side for unique opportunities. He spoke gently, ”Fairy, youʼre nearing Third Heaven King! Space Divine Stone is precious, but Minor Space Technique is better. Iʼll gift it to you, for a perfect Third Heaven breakthrough…”

Her eyes flickered, mood tepid. Heʼd given it to Lan Nuo first, despite getting it with her. No thrill in receiving it now. But he continued, ”I wanted to give it to you first, but it was incomplete. I waited to perfect it. Now, Iʼve completed it. Itʼs time to gift it to you!”

Her eyes widened. Completed? Was he joking?

Seeing her doubt, he smiled vaguely. ”I have artifacts boosting my enlightenment. I succeeded—the effect matches the original!”

His palm pressed her navel. The full Minor Space Technique transmitted. She frowned—transmission via navel, not forehead? But then, her expression turned serious.

The text, a few thousand words, held profound space truths, deeply enlightening. Mastering it would boost her combat power and forge a terrifying Cave Heaven, far surpassing a Space Divine Stone. It was complete, flawless. Her gaze on Ye Chen shifted.

Completing such a technique? Heʼd said Lan Nuo got a fragment. So he did complete it. How? The Dao Cauldron? It made sense. He couldnʼt carry it, but maybe connected remotely, empowered by it. Certain the Dao Cauldron was intact and his, her eyes shone brighter. Her efforts were on track.

Delighted, she smiled. Feeling no resistance, her lips curved, starting round two. Confidence surged. Before, he gave her nothing good. One foot move, and he offered the full Minor Space Technique. Push harder, and the Dao Cauldron was hers! Ye Chen, tamed!
