When it came to this point, Lu Mengchan lightly pressed her lips, as if gathering her courage, continued to speak:

"You may take it, I believe it should also be of some help to you."

Saying this, Lu Mengchan's heart was actually quite tense.

Because she knew very well her current predicament and that the only one capable and possibly willing to shield her now was right before her, Ji Haoyuan.

Moreover, she was no longer just a naive girl ignorant of worldly matters.

She understood clearly that if she were to seek others' protection, she must offer something in return, and it was not something possible for nothing.

Just now, Ji Haoyuan had indeed granted her a life-saving favor, and Ji Haoyuan, whether in appearance or demeanor, met her aesthetic standards.

Thus, if she truly wanted to give herself to Ji Haoyuan, psychologically, she wasn't unable to accept it.

Ji Haoyuan was also surprised that Lu Mengchan would proactively mention this.

This inevitably prompted him to gaze deeply at the woman in front of him.

As expected.

The influence of an environment on a person can be quite significant.

Although on the surface, Lu Mengchan appeared not much different from the Lu Mengchan of two hundred years ago.

But in certain ways of thinking when faced with situations, she was slightly influenced.

At least as far as Ji Haoyuan knew, the Lu Mengchan from the days back in the Thousand Streams Secret Realm would definitely not behave this way.

However, broadly speaking, this woman's changes were still within a range he could accept.

"Lu Dao You..."

Ji Haoyuan took a moment to ponder slightly before saying, "If I recall correctly, the Taiyin Moonlight Body, after advancing to Nascent Soul, would condense a thread of Taiyin Moonlight Qi?"

"Hmm? Elder Ji, you mean...?"

"Indeed."

Ji Haoyuan didn't hesitate or hide anything, directly nodding as he heard this:

"This Taiyin Moonlight Qi is significantly useful to me.

If you are willing, you may become an Honored Guest Elder for my Demonstration Sect in the future.

Additionally, within reasonable bounds, I shall grant you a certain extent of opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.

Should you indeed succeed in forming a Nascent Soul one day, then you shall give me the first thread of Taiyin Moonlight Qi that you condense.

How do you think about this?"

Indeed.

If Ji Haoyuan were to engage in dual cultivation with Lu Mengchan at this time, leveraging her Taiyin Moonlight Body, his cultivation could certainly make swift progress in the shortest time possible.

But doing so, the already not intact Lu Mengchan would also lose her greatest value as a Taiyin Moonlight Body.

He, Ji Haoyuan, is not someone with a moral obsession insisting that dual cultivation must be mutually agreeable.

But he is someone who strives to maximize benefits.

Evidently, choosing dual cultivation with Lu Mengchan now, using her physique to complement himself and break through his current cultivation level, far pales in comparison to the usefulness of the Taiyin Moonlight Qi that she condenses after advancing to Nascent Soul.

That would indeed help him truly break through the fourth-order shackles and ascend to the fifth-order—a precious treasure.

As for whether any accidents would occur in this process.

Or whether Lu Mengchan would fail to form her Nascent Soul at that time...

These problems, frankly speaking, if Ji Haoyuan wished, they were almost unlikely to happen.

At this time, Lu Mengchan evidently understood Ji Haoyuan's intentions.

She knew that this result was actually the best approach for her at present.

She didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded saying:

"Alright, I have no problem."

After a moment, her expression suddenly turned serious, and her tone was extremely solemn as she said:

"Here I vow, on the day I achieve the Nascent Soul, I will give the Taiyin Moonlight Qi I condense to Elder Ji.

If I violate this vow, may I be entangled by Heart Demons and struck dead by ten thousand thunders."

This is the so-called Dao Heart and Heart Demon Oath.

Especially the contents of this vow.

Lu Mengchan only mentioned the promise she needs to fulfill to Ji Haoyuan after advancing to Nascent Soul but didn't mention what conditions Ji Haoyuan needs to fulfill before that.

This essentially is a one-sided vow targeting Lu Mengchan.

Ji Haoyuan didn't say anything about this.

But in his heart, he somehow came to regard the woman a bit more highly.

"By the way, apart from the previous True Monarch Yiyang, who else knows about your physique?"

Ji Haoyuan suddenly thought of this question.

Seeing this, Lu Mengchan shook her head.

"Actually, aside from the True Monarch Baibian of the past, they are not aware of the true condition of my physique; they merely know I have a special physique, one that is extremely beneficial for dual cultivation."

At this point, Lu Mengchan seemed to think of something, her expression slightly dimmed.

"In fact, all thanks to True Monarch Baibian for concealing the real condition of my physique in the past.

If it wasn't for her, the secret of my physique would probably be difficult to keep..."

Lu Mengchan didn't say the rest, but Ji Haoyuan already understood the gist of it.

The two of them, at this point, did not continue to discuss these topics but slightly talked about some past matters when they were in the Thousand Streams Secret Realm.

After about a moment.

Ji Haoyuan, accompanied by Lu Mengchan, found True Monarch Baihua and True Monarch Xuanyuan to help record this woman's identity.

The two were somewhat surprised by this.

However, they didn't say anything.

Since it was Ji Haoyuan's decision, they were willing to trust Ji Haoyuan.

Only Master Binghuo.

At this moment, watching the others leave, she couldn't help but speak to Ji Haoyuan:

"Junior Brother, that Lu Mengchan should be that same person you encountered back in the Thousand Streams Secret Realm, right?"

"Indeed, it's her."

There was nothing for Ji Haoyuan to hide with Master Binghuo, so he immediately shared with her all the conversations he just had with Lu Mengchan.

Master Binghuo listened, nodded thoughtfully.

"Thus, it appears that Lu Mengchan is one of your future opportunities for advancing to Divinity Transformation.

Since so, she shouldn't be treated lightly."

"Uh..."

Before Ji Haoyuan could react, Master Binghuo's lips curved slightly.

"Junior Brother, rest assured, I will take good care of her in the future."

Ji Haoyuan: "..."

Has Senior Sister misunderstood something?

Five days later.

The northern defensive line.

In a guest hall.

Feichen Sword Monarch glanced at Ji Haoyuan who arrived alone, a warm smile immediately appearing on his face.

"Nanhua Dao You certainly keeps to their promises.

Come, come, this is the unique Infinite Spirit Tea of our Wuji Hall, Nanhua Dao You can have a taste."

While speaking, Feichen Sword Monarch had already pushed a cup of pre-made spirit tea toward Ji Haoyuan.

However, Ji Haoyuan didn't make a move toward the tea in front of him, instead looked at Feichen Sword Monarch directly:

"Feichen Dao You, we both have limited time; for what reason did you invite me over this time, why not speak it directly."

Liang Ruyu, seated beside Feichen Sword Monarch, seeing Ji Haoyuan's attitude, showed a slightly displeased look on her delicate face.

She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Feichen Sword Monarch with a smiling wave:

"Nanhua Dao You is straightforward.

Thus, I won't beat around the bush either."

With this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a rather solemn expression, looking into Ji Haoyuan's eyes, speaking word by word:

"Nanhua Dao You, do you realize that you are currently caught in a deadlock?"
