Chapter 104: Is this how you can have luck in love?

Inside the Lingfu Shop.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his five centers facing the sky, eyes closed, and expression solemn.

The Spirit Lake within his Dantian boiled and churned, slowly flowing through his Meridians and all four limbs.

This caused the originally pure white Spiritual Qi in his Dantian to gradually take on more color.

And seven small Sword Qi phantom images flickered in and out of sight above the Spirit Lake.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

“Although Returning Essence Skill is trash, it’s not without merits.”

“Its Spiritual Qi is neutral and peaceful, without any attributes, allowing for a smooth transition to other Cultivation Techniques.”

“If I had Cultivated other Cultivation Techniques, it would be much more difficult to transform my Spiritual Qi into Seven Luminaries Sword Qi, and it might even lead to a regression in my Cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng inwardly observed the Spiritual Qi in his Qi Sea Dantian.

He had just tried to switch to Cultivating the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.

He needed to convert all the Spiritual Qi from his Returning Essence Skill Cultivation into the Spiritual Qi of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.

He found the process to be very smooth.

Although there would be a significant loss of Spiritual Qi, the problem was not big.

“In about three or four months, all my Spiritual Qi should be completely transformed into seven luminaries Spiritual Qi.”

“This Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture truly lives up to its reputation as an orthodox Cultivation Technique; the Spiritual Qi it Cultivates is not only three or four times denser than my original Spiritual Qi, but also noticeably more sharp and domineering.”

“Once all my Spiritual Qi is converted into seven luminaries Spiritual Qi, I fear it will be comparable to the Cultivation of Qi Refining stage eight, or even the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.”

“This is what they call a profound Foundation, right? When I Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment then, passing the Magical Power barrier will be effortless!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian and couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

When he initially wanted a good Cultivation Technique, he was thinking of laying a solid Foundation for himself.

To allow him to go further in the future.

Now with this orthodox Cultivation Technique, his Foundation would be incredibly solid.

“Qi Refining Seventh Layer comparable to Qi Refining Ninth Layer, does that mean I can challenge those of higher Realms in the future?”

“No, every time I’ve encountered enemies, their Cultivation was higher than mine, and who relies only on Cultivation when fighting? Don’t they all rely on means?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, then shook his head.

He suddenly felt that his current situation wasn’t very suitable for a Cultivation Technique geared towards killing and combat.

On one hand, he had always been amiable and disliked fighting and killing.

On the other hand, when he usually fought, he relied on external objects.

Rather than his own Cultivation Realm.

In this situation, Cultivating Cultivation Techniques that specialize in health preservation or escaping would be more suitable for him.

However, since he had already drawn the Cultivation Technique and started Cultivating it, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t dwell on such thoughts anymore.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt that Cultivation Techniques for health preservation or escape might not necessarily be good or suitable for him.

As his Cultivation improves, conflicts and battles on the path of Cultivation are inevitable.

Currently, at the Qi Refinement Stage, relying on external objects obtained through the System’s lottery, he had no problem fighting opponents of higher Realms.

But as his Cultivation Realm gets higher and higher, Talisman, Puppet, and treasures—these external objects—will become less and less helpful to an individual.

They won’t allow people to fight opponents of higher Realms as they do now.

At that time, one’s own Cultivation combat power will become especially important.

Seeing that the sky outside had darkened.

Lu Changsheng also got up and walked out of the Lingfu Shop, heading home.

And at this very moment.

In a restaurant diagonally opposite the Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop.

A beautiful young girl dressed in a purple dress sat by the window.

Her fair, delicate arm propped up her cheek, and she gazed out the window, bored.

When the young girl saw Lu Changsheng walk out of the Lingfu Shop, her eyes immediately lit up.

“To help the Locking Love Gu quickly recover its Origin Qi, I spent a lot of money; you must not disappoint me.”

The young girl murmured softly as she looked at Lu Changsheng’s figure.

Then she raised her own palm.

But she saw.

In the palm of the young girl’s fair, delicate hand, the flesh slightly swelled and split open.

A Gu worm, less than an inch long, entirely blood-red and exquisitely beautiful, emerged from her palm.

“Little fellow, it’s all up to you later.”

The young girl said to the Locking Love Gu.

The Gu worm seemed to understand the young girl’s words, and a small antenna on its head slightly nodded.

Seeing this, the young girl also smiled, lightly clasped her hand, and walked out of the inn.

Through her secret observations during this period, she had already learned Lu Changsheng’s usual routine.

He basically moved in a straight line between the Lingfu Shop and his residence.

And she had already scouted the location.

She knew that the street Lu Changsheng took to go home was usually sparsely populated.

It was a good place and opportunity for her to act.

Acting within the market had its risks.

But at the same time, people in the market would be less vigilant, making it easier to succeed.

If she chose to act outside the market, she would think of Lu Changsheng’s behavior of unleashing Talisman Treasures and barrages of Talisman.

This reminded her of the humiliating scene where she was once bombarded by Lu Changsheng with Talisman Treasures and Talisman, looking utterly disheveled and almost dying at his hands.

But thinking that soon, Lu Changsheng would be afflicted by the Locking Love Gu and would develop feelings for her, gradually falling helplessly in love, she couldn’t help but feel cheerful.

“What revenge could be more satisfying than making your former enemy fall in love with you, helplessly and irrevocably?”

The purple-dressed young girl looked at Lu Changsheng’s back, a smile gracing her beautiful face.

When she saw Lu Changsheng enter the alley and confirmed there was no one else there, the young girl immediately called out.

“Lu Daoyou, please stop!”

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng heard someone call him.

He paused his steps and looked back.

He immediately saw a beautiful young girl in a purple dress with a lively demeanor waving at him and walking quickly towards him.

“Hmm? Are you calling me, young lady?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the purple-dressed young girl, a little surprised.

“That’s right, I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu is a Talisman Master, so I have something I’d like to trouble Fellow Daoist Lu with.”

The purple-dressed young girl said with a smile, walking quickly towards Lu Changsheng.

“What is it?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised to hear this.

Although the fact that he was a Talisman Master wasn’t a secret, he didn’t know this young girl.

Suddenly, a stranger said they wanted to trouble him, which made him feel a bit bewildered.

“It’s just…”

The purple-dressed young girl had just opened her mouth when a strange purple glow suddenly swirled in her eyes.

It was like a captivating, soul-snatching gaze, causing Lu Changsheng to feel a momentary daze.

However, just as Lu Changsheng felt his mind waver and daze, a clear Spiritual Qi emanated from the Cold Jade Spirit Pendant on his chest.

This quickly brought him back from his dazed state.

“Not good!”

Lu Changsheng regained his senses and immediately realized something was wrong.

The purple-dressed woman in front of him had a problem!

She had just cast some kind of Spell on him.

He immediately prepared to activate the protective Spell of his Magical Robe and Cold Jade Pendant.

However, at this very moment.

A tingling sensation of numbness and pain came from his neck.

As if something had bitten him.

His mind slightly stirred.

However, at this very moment.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng felt a powerful will erupt from the Peach Blossom Gu in his glabella.

This Aura of will was like a volcanic eruption, a river overflowing.

Like a majestic beast whose authority had been challenged, it released its might!

It suppressed the stirring in his mind.

This caused the pink peach blossom mark, which had always been hidden on Lu Changsheng’s glabella, to automatically emerge, glowing with a vibrant pink light.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

As the Peach Blossom Gu’s will erupted, a faint chirping sound arose.

Lu Changsheng immediately heard a faint ‘buzzing’ sound.

He saw a small, blood-red insect quickly flying away from his neck.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately wrapped his hand in Spiritual Qi and grabbed it with a large hand.

Like an eagle catching a rabbit, he tightly gripped the small creature in his hand.

Then he took out a stack of Talisman and looked at the purple-dressed young girl in front of him.

“Hiss!”

The purple-dressed woman groaned at this moment.

She looked at Lu Changsheng with an expression of disbelief.

She didn’t know what was going on.

What was wrong with the Locking Love Gu?

In that instant, she felt a powerful will emanating from the Locking Love Gu, causing her mind to tremble violently.

Seeing Lu Changsheng look over, their eyes met at that moment.

Under this gaze, the purple-dressed young girl’s heart fluttered.

She felt a special emotion spreading and rising in her heart.

It made her feel that Lu Changsheng in front of her was inexplicably pleasing to the eye, and she involuntarily wanted to get closer to him.

“What is going on!?”

As soon as this emotion spread from her heart, the purple-dressed young girl realized something was wrong.

She had a very clear understanding of herself.

Although Lu Changsheng in front of her was handsome and had an extraordinary Aura, how could she be someone who judged by looks?

How could she possibly feel good and want to get close to him just because he was handsome?

Moreover, she had secretly observed Lu Changsheng quite a bit during this time.

She had never felt such emotions before.

“It’s the Locking Love Gu that has a problem!”

“Could it be… a Gu worm backlash?”

Seeing the vibrant peach blossom mark on Lu Changsheng’s glabella, the purple-dressed young girl vaguely guessed what was happening to her.

Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of rare treasure.

Or he had a Gu worm that was more powerful and domineering than the Locking Love Gu.

This caused her attempt to implant the Locking Love Gu to fail.

And a Gu worm backlash occurred.

Resulting in the Locking Love Gu’s effect being reversed, falling onto herself, the host.

“How is this possible!”

“The Locking Love Gu is already a being close to the Heaven Spirit Gu; even if it’s currently severely weakened and hasn’t recovered, it’s impossible for a backlash to occur.”

“How could he possibly possess such a rare treasure, or a Gu worm like the Heaven Spirit Gu, which is almost extinct!”

As soon as this conjecture emerged, the purple-skirted girl’s heart surged with disbelief, as if a great wave had been stirred.

However, as she looked at Lu Changsheng before her, she could feel a sense of closeness arising in her heart.

This sense of closeness caused her an unprecedented panic.

Because as the host of the Locking Love Gu, she was well aware of the Locking Love Gu’s domineering nature.

Once someone was bitten by the Locking Love Gu, they would uncontrollably develop feelings of love for her.

These feelings of love would intensify with time and contact.

Ultimately, they would fall uncontrollably in love, even willing to die for her!

Now, with the Gu worm backlash, the Locking Love Gu’s effect reversed, falling upon her, the host.

So from now on, she would uncontrollably develop feelings of love for Lu Changsheng before her, gradually falling uncontrollably in love, and willing to die for him.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Before she could think further, Lu Changsheng had already unleashed a stack of Talismans and was driving the qingyan sword to attack her.

Even though private fights were forbidden in the market city, and one could not make a move, since the purple-skirted woman had attacked him, how could Lu Changsheng not counterattack?

“No, I must leave immediately, get far away!”

“Escape the influence of the Locking Love Gu!”

Seeing the attacking Spells and Flying Sword, the girl dared not think any more.

A protective Qi shield formed around her body, and at the same time, she took out several Talismans, activated and used them, directly clashing with Lu Changsheng’s offensive.

Then, with a muffled groan, she transformed into an afterimage and quickly fled.

At this moment, she dared not think too much.

She also didn’t care that the Locking Love Gu, which she had obtained through great difficulty, had fallen into Lu Changsheng’s hands.

She only wanted to seize the opportunity, while the Locking Love Gu’s effect had not yet influenced her mind, and quickly leave this place.

To get far away from where Lu Changsheng was.

Otherwise, as time passed, the closer she was to him, the faster the feelings of love in her heart would spread.

By then, even if Lu Changsheng wanted to kill her, she would willingly accept it.

Lu Changsheng saw the purple-skirted woman disappear as an afterimage and wanted to chase, but thought better of it.

The other party was very fast, and without using Talismans, he simply couldn’t catch up.

But just outside the alley was the main street.

With people coming and going on the street, it was not good for him to take out a large number of Talismans to use.

“Who exactly is she, and why did she suddenly attack me?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the vanished purple-skirted girl, his heart filled with extreme doubt.

He didn’t know when he had offended the other party for her to suddenly attack him like that.

“Could it be that I was targeted when I handled the stolen goods?”

Lu Changsheng guessed in his heart.

But he felt it was unlikely.

If he had been targeted, they wouldn’t have made a move like this in the market city.

Subsequently.

He looked at the small thing he had caught in his palm.

It was a blood-red worm, less than an inch long.

“What is this?”

“A worm, a Gu worm?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the trembling, somewhat listless blood-colored Gu worm in his hand, frowning slightly.

“Could it be that she was trying to use a Gu on me just now?”

Thinking back to when he was bitten by this blood-colored Gu worm, his mind had trembled.

Immediately after, the Peach Blossom Gu between his eyebrows instantly erupted with a powerful will and pressure, suppressing the tremor, and Lu Changsheng vaguely had a guess in his heart.

After obtaining the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng had also read a lot of knowledge and information about Gu worms.

He knew that Gu worms, like Yao Beasts.

Had very severe Bloodline Rank suppression.

For example, a Heaven Rank Bloodline Yao Beast like the Nine Nether Mastiff, when facing ordinary Yao Beasts, would have a Bloodline suppression effect.

Making Yao Beasts of ordinary Bloodline, when facing the Nine Nether Mastiff, inexplicably weaker by three points in Aura, and their combat power would decrease.

And Gu worms were the same.

Even more severe.

He had the Peach Blossom Gu, a Heaven Spirit Gu, with him, which could immunize him from the effects of many Gu worms.

If other Gu worms were to be used on him, it would be equivalent to provoking and offending the Peach Blossom Gu, which would arouse the Peach Blossom Gu’s instinctive resistance.

The situation with the Peach Blossom Gu just now perfectly matched this situation he knew.

Just then.

A faint fluctuation came from the Peach Blossom Gu between his eyebrows.

Indicating that he had just received a wave of peach blossom luck.

“Peach blossom luck?”

“Where did this peach blossom luck come from out of nowhere?”

Lu Changsheng frowned.

Feeling somewhat inexplicable.

He didn’t understand what this wave of peach blossom luck was about.

“Wait, could this peach blossom luck be from that purple-skirted woman?”

Lu Changsheng thought of the purple-skirted girl who had just fled.

“But why would I, out of nowhere, have peach blossom luck with her?”

“The Peach Blossom Gu has already received peach blossom luck, which means that the peach blossom between us has succeeded, and there is a connection.”

“But I clearly don’t know her, and we’ve only met once just now, so how did it just succeed?”

Lu Changsheng was completely bewildered at this moment.

He couldn’t understand what was going on with the purple-skirted woman just now.

What was this wave of peach blossom luck about.

“Wait, I once read about a type of Gu in a book, called Love Gu.”

“This Love Gu is a mother-child Gu; the one with the mother Gu can plant the child Gu into another person’s body, making the other person fall in love with them, unable to leave them for their entire life.”

“Could it be… this Gu worm is the Love Gu I once saw in ancient texts?”

“This purple-skirted woman wanted to use a Gu on me to make me fall in love with her, but because of the Peach Blossom Gu, I didn’t fall in love with her, and she fell in love with me instead?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu worm in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a guess formed.

Although this guess was too outlandish.

But Lu Changsheng could only think of this one possibility in his mind.

A barely plausible possibility.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand.

“If that’s really the case, it’s too outrageous, isn’t it?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

He sighed in his heart, if this were true, then the Peach Blossom Gu’s peach blossom luck was too overbearing.

Isn’t this just giving it away by force?

He hadn’t even met the other person.

And a wave of peach blossom luck just came out of nowhere.

“But a Love Gu shouldn’t be like this, right?”

“A Love Gu is divided into mother and child Gu; the host has the mother Gu, and needs to plant the child Gu in the target’s body.”

“This way, the other person will fall in love with them, and thus be unable to separate for their entire life.”

“This Gu worm bit me once, and under the will and pressure of the Peach Blossom Gu, it immediately wanted to escape, which obviously doesn’t match the Love Gu either.”

“Or rather, is this a Gu worm similar to the Love Gu?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu worm in his hand.

He also felt that this didn’t quite match the description of the Love Gu he had read in books.

“Forget it, too lazy to think.”

Lu Changsheng was too lazy to continue thinking.

He touched the wound on his neck.

There was only a small wound, which had almost healed.

He thought to himself that this blood-colored Gu worm was quite powerful.

One must know that he Cultivated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, and his Physical Body was comparable to a Magical Artifact.

Yet, it was able to break through his defense with just one bite from this blood-colored Gu worm.

“However, this Peach Blossom Gu is really hard to deal with; it’s good, but every time it’s a bit inexplicable.”

“And if not handled well, it might backfire and become a peach blossom tribulation.”

Lu Changsheng was also a bit exhausted by this inexplicable peach blossom luck.

Every time there was peach blossom luck, it was accompanied by something happening.

Especially the first time, it directly brought him a Golden Core female.

If there had been even a slight mistake then, it would have become a peach blossom tribulation.

But if he were to abandon the Peach Blossom Gu, he would be reluctant to give it up.

“At least the Peach Blossom Gu has more benefits than drawbacks; not only does it bring more peach blossom luck, but it also allows me to be immune to the effects of most Gu worms.”

“Otherwise, in a situation like this, it would have been dangerous.”

“If I really fell for a Love Gu and devotedly loved someone, wouldn’t that be a waste?”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

“Phew, the methods of cultivators are bizarre and unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against them.”

“I still need to be more careful and vigilant in the future; although private fights are forbidden in the market city, it doesn’t mean there’s no danger.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Thinking of the situation just now, he indeed lacked vigilance, which led to him being somewhat passive.

“However, how should I deal with this thing?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu worm in his hand.

Suddenly, he wondered how to deal with this Gu worm.
