An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 577: Dry wood and fierce fire

"Suddenly...you broke through? How did you break through? What did you break through?"

Xu Fu felt that the word sounded particularly unfamiliar coming from Li Wuji's mouth.

"Didn't you teach me the techniques? What's all the fuss about?"

Li Wuji ate the sea dragon meat in his hand, expressing his incomprehension at Xu Fu's surprise.

"I did teach you! But... how long has it been?"

"It's been several hours!"

Xu Fu was dumbfounded by Li Wuji's serious expression.

"Is this even human language? Who uses hours to calculate cultivation time?"

After calming himself down, Xu Fu asked more questions and confirmed that Li Wuji had broken through to the fourth rank!

In less than four hours of cultivation, this woman had already become a mid-level cultivator.

If this were to get out, probably no one in the world would believe it.

Let alone others, even Xu Fu himself, witnessing this firsthand, was starting to doubt if he was dreaming.

Li Wuji acted as if nothing had happened. After eating the sea dragon meat and washing himself thoroughly, he unceremoniously went into the "wooden house" built by Xu Fu to sleep.

"It's so comfortable in here!"

Li Wuji's voice came from inside the "wooden house," and it was clear that she was genuinely happy.

"I'm glad you like it, senior sister."

Xu Fu responded with a smile and started fiddling with the fire.

Why...aren't you coming in yet?

Before long, Li Wuji's voice came from the "wooden house," her words seemingly tinged with a hint of shyness.

Xu Fu was taken aback at first, then felt overjoyed. After calming himself down a bit, he carefully slipped into the "wooden house".

The makeshift wooden hut was very low; Xu Fu's head almost touched the roof when he sat inside.

The cabin was also very narrow, barely enough for two people to lie down comfortably.

At this moment, Li Wuji was facing inwards, leaving enough space for another person to sleep.

Xu Fu slowly lay down, barely daring to breathe.

Even the rustling of the dry grass beneath them was clearly audible.

"Are you cold?" After a long silence, Li Wuji suddenly asked.

"Not cold!" Xu Fu replied immediately. At this moment, he felt as if there was a fire burning inside him, making him feel hot all over. How could he feel cold?

Xu Fu at that moment wished he could swallow a bowl of ice.

"Aren't you cold?"

Li Wuji gently tugged at the blanket covering him, without turning around.

There was only one quilt in the wooden house, which was currently covering Li Wuji.

"It seems a bit..."

Xu Fu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and guessed what Li Wuji meant, so he tentatively replied.

"Then you should cover it up too!"

Li Wuji was still turned to the side, so Xu Fu couldn't see her expression at all.

However, since Li Wuji had said that, even Xu Fu, who was foolish, understood what it meant.

Xu Fu tiptoed over a corner of the blanket and slipped inside.

The blanket contained Li Wuji's body heat and a faint, refreshing lotus fragrance, which kept trying to get into Xu Fu's nose.

Now Xu Fu is even more popular!

After a while of this stalemate, Li Wuji suddenly let out a soft sigh.

Xu Fu thought Li Wuji was angry, so he quickly moved away.

Hold me close.

Li Wuji's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but Xu Fu felt as if a thunderclap had struck his ears.

"what?"

Xu Fu stared blankly and uttered a questioning sound, thinking he had misheard.

Hold me tight!

Li Wuji's voice was a few decibels louder, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Xu Fu was sure he hadn't misheard before cautiously approaching.

The moment Xu Fu placed his hand on Li Wuji's waist, he felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his head.

He had had some close contact with Li Wuji before, but it was definitely not in this enclosed environment.

Xu Fu felt as if he had been poisoned, his whole body became extremely stiff, and he dared not move his hand, which was on Li Wuji's waist, even in the slightest.

"Haven't you read any storybooks?"

Li Wuji spoke again.

"What kind of storybook?"

Xu Fu was a little confused by the question.

Li Wuji didn't explain to Xu Fu, but suddenly flipped over and pinned Xu Fu down.

"Senior sister! What are you doing?"

Xu Fu was startled by Li Wuji's sudden action, and his voice was full of fear.

"fool!"

Li Wuji scolded softly, then lowered her head.

Xu Fu felt his lips being covered by something warm and soft, and a sweet fragrance made his mind go blank.

He was like a bundle of dry firewood, ignited by a flame.

……

The next day at daybreak, the two resumed their journey.

After that night, the last shred of secrecy between the two was broken, which brought about a significant change in their relationship.

Xu Fu was overjoyed, feeling that he wouldn't trade life for even a god!

Li Wuji, however, appeared somewhat shy, far less carefree and at ease than before.

After that night, Xu Fu became bolder and, ignoring Li Wuji's objections, reached out and embraced her slender waist.

"what are you doing?"

Li Wuji playfully slapped Xu Fu's fidgeting hand away.

"My senior sister and I have already consummated our marriage, can't I even hug her? Even if she hits me, I still want to hug her!"

Xu Fu spoke with conviction, displaying an attitude of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".

"Still calling me Senior Sister?" Li Wuji said softly.

Her shy and bashful appearance made Xu Fu's heart burn with desire, and he couldn't wait for nightfall so he could relive the madness of the previous night.

"Yes, yes! Now we should call her 'wife'!" Xu Fu said excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Who's your 'wife'? That's so cheesy!"

Li Wuji's face was as red as a lotus flower just emerging from the water, delicate and beautiful.

After some "bargaining," the two reached an agreement that they could only address each other as husband and wife after they had paid their respects to heaven and earth.

The two walked hand in hand, their states of mind now quite different.

Since last night, Xu Fu suddenly had a mysterious feeling, a feeling he had never experienced before. Xu Fu couldn't explain it, but he didn't dwell on it too much. His mind was now entirely focused on Li Wuji.

Not long after she left, Li Wuji asked Xu Fu to tell her the second half of the "Tongtian Jue" technique, because she had broken through to the next level.

"You've reached the fifth rank?"

Xu Fu's eyes were wide open, like those of a bull.

He guessed that the body reshaped by the Immaculate Lotus might be very powerful, and he also knew that Li Wuji's cultivation talent might be very high, but he did not expect that the combination of the two would be so terrifying.

Reaching the fourth rank in half a day and the fifth rank in one night—such speed is like a joke. How could a "human" possibly achieve this?

However, Xu Fu was naturally happy for Li Wuji's rapid progress in cultivation. He didn't hold back and simply recited the rest of the "Tongtian Jue" from memory.

Because the latter half of the "Heavenly Path Technique" requires spiritual objects to cultivate, Xu Fu took out all the spiritual objects in his Qiankun Bag and gave them to Li Wuji to cultivate, as long as they were not particularly precious.

Seeing Li Wuji engrossed in cultivation, Xu Fu also felt a sense of anticipation. He was eager to see where Li Wuji's bottleneck would be.

"Could she suddenly reach the Ninth Rank Supreme level?"

Xu Fu was startled by this sudden thought.
