<h4>Chapter 1475: Chapter 1472: Saving with Dual Cultivation</h4>


    After returning to his residence.


    Xu Wendong fetched two buckets of well water, took off the blood-stained robe he was wearing, and took a cold bath in the courtyard under the moonlit night.


    Once the bloodstains of the Three-headed Demon Wolf were washed away, he felt instantly refreshed and invigorated.


    Then he soaked the blood-stained robe in a wooden basin, changed into a clean robe, and finally returned to his room.


    He sat cross-legged on the bed, waved his hand casually, and the herbs he collected during the day appeared in the air, all neatly categorized by him.


    Each bundle of herbs could be used to refine an elixir.


    "I’ll refine the Yuqing Divine Pill first!"


    With a thought, the Golden Crow Furnace flew out from the center of Xu Wendong’s brow, hovering mid-air and slowly rotating.


    When Xu Wendong spread his left hand.


    The Golden Crow Furnace gentlynded in his palm.


    The next moment.


    Xu Wendong activated the Tao Fire within him to start the first step of alchemy—purifying the furnace.


    This step is meant to eliminate the scent of other elixirs from the pill furnace, thereby improving the sess rate of pill formation.


    After all.


    The efficacy of each elixir is different.


    "Thankfully I have mastery over the Fire Dao; otherwise, refining elixirs in the Underground City would require setting up a fire element formation with Immortal Stones, which would increase the cost."


    "Now, I can refine elixirs without setting up a fire element formation."


    "Most importantly, using one’s own Fire Dao to refine elixirs can greatly increase the sess rate of pill formation."


    Xu Wendong wore a slight smile on his face.


    As time passed, the Golden Crow Furnace in his left hand turned fiery red, and the Golden Crow on the furnace body seemed toe alive, looking vivid and lifelike.


    Then.


    Xu Wendong followed the steps on the Taiching Divine Pill prescription, cing several kinds of herbs into the pill furnace in sequence, gently activating the Tao Fire within to begin the refining process.


    Although it was his first time refining the Taiching Divine Pill, and his first alchemical endeavor aftering to the Immortal Realm.


    Back in the Mortal World, he often refined elixirs.


    His mind was already as steadfast as a rock.


    No mistakes urred.


    In the blink of an eye, it waste at night.


    Seeing thest herb enter the Golden Crow Furnace, the smile on Xu Wendong’s face grew even brighter; in at most half an hour, the Taiching Divine Pill would be ready.


    By then, there would be no worry that Lu Shuling would be affected by the Heart Demon.


    This was also the only thing he could do for Lu Shuling at the moment.


    However, just at this moment.


    An unexpected change arose.


    A chaotic aura burst from next door, like an erupting mountain torrent, exceedingly turbulent, giving a sense of unstoppable force.


    At the same time.


    There was the painful groaning of Lu Shuling.


    "Not good, Miss Lu has entered Deviation." Xu Wendong’s face changed sharply, as he turned into a shadow and dashed out.


    Even though he was in the final step of alchemy.


    Right now.


    He couldn’t care less about the elixir in the furnace.


    Lu Shuling’s safety was more important than any elixir.


    When Xu Wendong entered Lu Shuling’s room, the sight before him made his heart clench hard.


    He saw Lu Shuling sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes bloodshot, her features twisted, her whole body exuding a violent aura like a raging lion, making one’s heart shiver.


    "Die!"


    Upon seeing Xu Wendong appear, a startling killing intent shed in Lu Shuling’s eyes.


    She turned into a shadow, rushing head-on towards Xu Wendong.


    It was clear.


    She had been influenced by the Heart Demon, to the point where she could no longer distinguish friend from foe.


    "Bind!"


    Xu Wendong immediately released the yer Vine, the dark red vines instantly entwining Lu Shuling.


    Even so.


    But Lu Shuling was a Late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivator, her aura was exceedingly thick, even causing cracks in the yer Vine which seemed to be on the verge of being torn apart by her.


    It wasn’t that the yer Vine was too weak.


    On the contrary, the yer Vine had grown stronger as Xu Wendong’s realm increased.


    But.


    With Lu Shuling having entered Deviation, her power had risen far beyond its previous level, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Peak cultivation level.


    Seeing that the yer Vine was about to be broken by the opponent, Xu Wendong appeared behind her like a ghost, delivering a chop to her neck, causing her to fall into unconsciousness once again.


    Thinking he could save Lu Shuling this way, Xu Wendong was shocked to find that the situation was far more serious than before, her Immortal Energy was rampaging uncontrobly within her body.


    Thinking quickly, Xu Wendong immediately activated the Immortal Energy within himself, entering Lu Shuling’s body, hoping to use his Immortal Energy as a guide to calm the Immortal Energy within Lu Shuling.


    If not, Lu Shuling would undoubtedly suffer a fatal rupture of her meridians.


    Pfft!


    Without any warning, Xu Wendong spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, which sshed onto her white long dress, looking like a blooming blood-red rose, so striking and enchanting.


    "With my current capabilities, I can’t possibly guide Miss Lu’s Immortal Energy." Xu Wendong was anxious.


    The Immortal Energy within him couldn’tpare to Lu Shuling’s; the moment his Immortal Energy entered her body, it faced fierce bacsh.


    If not, he wouldn’t have spat blood just now.


    "Why didn’t you listen to me, if you hadn’t cultivated, you wouldn’t have entered Deviation!" Xu Wendong was beside himself with worry, though he could refine the Taiching Divine Pill to help Lu Shuling suppress the Heart Demon and restore her rity.


    But.


    The recent batch of elixir had already failed, and if he were to refine a new batch, it would take at least two hours.


    In Lu Shuling’s current state, enduring even one hour is out of the question!


    "Must it reallye to that?" Xu Wendong’s expression turnedplex; he did have a way to save Lu Shuling, but Lu Shuling was an esteemed benefactor in his heart, her kindness to him was as weighty as a mountain.


    He never intended to offend her.


    But now.


    Xu Wendong had no other options.


    Taking a deep breath, he said toward the deeply unconscious and pained Lu Shuling on the bed: "Miss Lu, pardon my offense."


    With that, he removed Lu Shuling’s dress, revealing her snow-white, tender body.


    Her fair skin was beautiful, and her figure exceedingly alluring, exuding a fatal charm.


    Especially the pair of snow-white, rounded jade breasts in front of him, which stirred Xu Wendong’s senses, making his breathing much quicker.


    And those long, sexy legs constantly emitted an air of allure.


    However.


    Beneath her skin, one could see the swirling Immortal Energy, akin to countless venomous insects crawling inside her, adding an eerie touch to her allure.


    After disrobing Lu Shuling, Xu Wendong quickly removed his own robe, kneeling in front of Lu Shuling, intending to immediately help her control the chaotic Immortal Energy within.


    Yet discovered.


    At the critical moment, his second brother betrayed him.


    Limp and lifeless.


    Xu Wendong cursed himself as useless, then vigorously shook awake his slumbering second brother, before reaching Lu Shuling’s tender and beautifulher region, gently exerting force, entering that dry and tight space...
