Chapter 139: Changing Her Talent

The next morning, a faint golden light entered through the windows.

Laying on the bed, Long Feng was gently brushing Xiao Ruo’s silky hair as she lay naked next to him.

Her head on his chest, as her fingers tracing against her hard chest muscles.

The curve of her hip was visible beneath the thin silk sheet, rose and fell with each breath. As his fingers continued gently, she suddenly looked up.

"Brother Long?" Xiao Ruo murmured softly, her eyes gazing up at him with a mixture of contentment and curiosity.

"Hmm... what? Do you want more?" He said with a teasing smile.

His hand went under the silk, cupping her soft boobs and circles around her nipple, feeling it stiffen under his touch.

Flick~~ Aahh~!

Xiao Ruo shivered at his caress, a soft gasp escaping her lips. She pressed herself closer to him as her skin warm and silky against his.

"No, it’s not that," she whispered, her breath hot against his chest, "am I really useful to you?"

Long Feng’s hand stilled, his expression became slightly serious, "Why do you think like this?"

"Because I can’t help you in anyway."

Her expression was gentle, but there was also a trace of sadness hidden within it.

"With my meager cultivation, what can I help you? I don’t possess anything except some little beauty."

Long Feng’s eyes flickered slightly.

Even in her early twenties, she could only became third level Qi Refining realm expert, which was nothing in this Azura Heaven Sect, even servant disciples had more cultivation than her.

On the top of that, she had not any talent. Previously, he had checked her physique, only to know her talent is too poor, almost non-existent.

So there is no hope to become powerful even in future.

Clearly, she also understood this bitter truth and that’s made her more sad.

"I know I cannot become strong."

She looked at Long Feng sincerely.

"I cannot fight beside you. I cannot protect you. I cannot help you obtain opportunities."

A faint sadness appeared in her eyes as she clenched her hands slightly.

"Perhaps one day, you will stand among powerful cultivators whom I can only look up to. At that time, I might become completely useless."

Long Feng remained silent for a moment, before asking, "If you had enough talent to cultivate, what would you do?"

Xiao Ruo looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, if your cultivation talent was not a problem."

Long Feng looked directly at her. "What would you want to achieve?"

Xiao Ruo thought for a moment and replied. There was no hesitation in her voice, showing her determined intent.

"If I became strong enough, I would stand beside you. If you needed me to fight, I would fight. If you needed me to protect something, I would protect it."

Her eyes became even firmer. "And if one day you needed me to give my life for you..."

She paused only briefly.

"I would do it."

Long Feng stared at her with some surprise. He didn’t her to say something like this, giving loyalty to someone like him, a villain.

That loyalty was not something cultivation could provide.

It came entirely from within her.

Long Feng slowly smiled. "Who said that having no talent means you will never have a future?"

Xiao Ruo blinked, clearly did not understand.

Long Feng sat up and looked at her seriously.

"If you don’t have talent now, that doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future."

"Young Master..." Xiao Ruo’s eyes widened slightly. She seemed to realize that he was implying something extraordinary.

"You can change my talent?"

Long Feng did not answer immediately. Instead, he reached into his storage ring.

"I have a way."

Xiao Ruo stared at him in disbelief.

She did not know much about the higher levels of cultivation, but even she understood how extraordinary it was to change a person’s innate talent.

For an ordinary cultivator, talent was something determined from birth.

It was not something that could simply be replaced, yet he said that he could change this.

But because of her unwavering faith, she did not doubt his words.

"If you say it can be done, then I believe you."

Long Feng nodded with satisfaction before looking down to her naked body.

"Then get up and stand in front."

Without hesitation, Xiao Ruo moved. Having shared a deep closeness for so long, there was nothing to blush upon stood naked in front of eachother.

After all, which of her part he had not seen, even tasted...

The silk sheet trailed away as Xiao Ruo stood, revealing the full grace of her slender silhouette.

Every curve of her form was long and elegant, her shoulders were delicate, sloping down into a narrow, supple waist and the soft, fluent contour of her hips.

Long Feng’s eyes traced every line of her exposed beauty, taking in the smooth warmth of her skin.

The sheer visual impact of her figure sent a wave of heat straight to his dick, but forcefully scattering his thoughts.

No, focus on the work.

He forced his eyes shut for a sharp second, reminded himself, pulling his thoughts back from the edge.

Thinking about the more important things he had to do, Long Feng took a deep breath, and the relaxed expression on his face gradually disappeared.

His eyes became serious as he slowly raised his hand.

A faint spatial fluctuation appeared around his palm before a five-colored lotus quietly emerged from his storage ring and floated above his hand.

The moment it appeared, the entire room seemed to become different.

It was not oppressive, nor was it particularly powerful, but it carried a strange majesty that made the surrounding spiritual energy tremble slightly.

"What is that?"

Feeling the change in surrounding, Xiao Ruo became alert and stared at the lotus in astonishment.

To cause such effects in nature with just his presence, just what kind of treasure is this?

"The Five-Element Nirvana Lotus."

Long Feng looked at the lotus with a faint smile.

It was one of the rare treasures he had obtained from Ye Wuxie, the child of destiny.

He had kept this treasure for a long time.

The Five-Element Nirvana Lotus was extraordinary even among the treasures he had encountered.

It could directly affect a cultivator’s foundation and talent, allowing a person’s innate limitations to be completely transformed.

Long Feng had once carefully studied the information he possessed about it.

Unfortunately, even with his current alchemy knowledge, he had never been able to completely understand the true origin of this lotus.

That alone was enough to prove how precious it was.

A treasure of this level was something ordinary cultivators could only dream of obtaining.

Even Long Feng had originally considered keeping it as a bargaining chip, perhaps exchanging it for another treasure of similar value when the opportunity arose.

But now, he had found a better use for it. His gaze slowly shifted toward Xiao Ruo.

"Flesh-Cauldron Treasure Art... Let’s see just how powerful this technique really is."

Thinking about a particular skill in his memory, faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Then he reached into his storage ring again and ne medicinal herb after another appeared around him.

There were spiritual roots, flowers, fruits, leaves, stalks, and several strange-looking herbs. Different as they were, a single commonality bound them together—they all surged with ice attribute energy.

Soon, a large number of medicinal materials had accumulated around Long Feng.

Xiao Ruo stared at the scene in silence. She had seen Long Feng refine pills before, but this time was clearly different.

He was not trying to refine an ordinary pill. Every herb he selected had a specific purpose.

Some were responsible for nourishing the flesh, some strengthened the meridians and replenished spiritual energy.

Others were meant to protect the internal organs and prevent Xiao Ruo’s body from collapsing under the tremendous energy that would soon enter it.

Long Feng carefully inspected every herb one final time.

Due to the lack of high-grade ice-attribute herbs, he was forced to make up for the lack of quality with sheer quantity.

Only after confirming that nothing was missing did he finally raise his hand.

A cluster of purple flame appeared above his palm. The temperature of the room immediately rose.

Long Feng did not throw all the herbs into the flame at once. Instead, he refined them one by one.

The flame wrapped around the first herb. Its surface slowly withered before transforming into a stream of pure medicinal energy.

Long Feng guided the liquid into the air. Then he moved to the next herb and the next. One after another, the medicinal materials were burned, refined, purified, and transformed into liquid essence.

The different medicinal liquids floated quietly before him.

Rather than allowing them to mix immediately, Long Feng carefully controlled each stream of liquid separately.

There could be no mistake.

He was preparing a medicinal foundation that would eventually be used to refine an entire human body. Even a slight imbalance could damage Xiao Ruo’s foundation permanently.

After a long time, the last herb was finally refined.

Hundreds of strands of medicinal liquid floated before Long Feng, each carrying a different kind of energy.
