A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 258 Yaoyao

The little brat looked dejected when he heard Chao Bufan say he was going into seclusion.

Chao Bufan patted the little devil's head and smiled slightly, "This seclusion will only last a day at most. Tomorrow, your brother-in-law will take all of you out to play."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, the little devil was overjoyed and quickly clapped his hands, exclaiming, "Great! Brother-in-law, then you should hurry up and go into seclusion!"

Chao Bufan smiled and then said to Baihe, "Baihe, don't go anywhere today. Just stay here and cultivate properly."

Upon hearing this, Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, young master. You should go into seclusion now!"

As the old saying goes: A mountain is not sacred if it is not a mountain, but if there are immortals living there; water is not sacred if it is not deep, but if there are dragons living there.

However, throughout history, those who cultivate immortality and practice Taoism have always placed the utmost importance on their cultivation site. The so-called cultivation site is the place chosen for cultivation. If a place is rich in spiritual energy, it is a must-choose location for cultivators, because external spiritual energy is one of the indispensable sources for cultivators.

The Central Plains have always been a land of beautiful mountains and rivers, and fertile and abundant soil.

Some say that immortals often live in the mountains or on the mountaintops. While this may not be entirely true, it reflects a reality: the deepest forests and the highest mountain peaks are often where spiritual energy is most abundant.

Thus, at the foot of a certain high mountain in HX, looking up, one could only see the mountainside shrouded in enchanting clouds and mist, obscuring the true face of the summit. At the mountain's peak, Chao Bufan sat cross-legged on a smooth boulder, his thumb and forefinger pinching the Fire Dragon Pill bestowed upon him by the divine beast Azure Dragon, pondering deeply. After a moment, he spoke, "Senior, tell me, after I consume this Fire Dragon Pill, what realm will my cultivation reach?"

"I've never taken it, how would I know? Since it's a Heavenly Pill, its cultivation level must be at least at the peak of the Yellow Realm."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. I have just entered the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm. After taking this Fire Dragon Pill, it will definitely be no problem for my cultivation to reach the peak of the Yellow Realm. If I could reach the Human Realm, then I would have no reason to be afraid of evil in the future."

"Kid, instead of guessing the outcome here, why don't you take it quickly?"

"That makes sense. Okay, I'll take it then."

Chao Bufan carefully placed the Fire Dragon Pill into his mouth, but to his surprise, it melted instantly, and a warm current flowed from his mouth straight to his stomach. Without thinking, Chao Bufan quickly closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, his pores opening wide.

The moment the Heavenly Elixir entered his stomach, a golden light shone brightly from his extraordinary chest, like a lit oil lamp emitting a faint golden glow. In just a moment, countless tiny golden rays, like a dense spiderweb, slowly spread throughout his body, reaching every corner and cell. Soon, he resembled a giant fireball, or a bright moon, his entire body gleaming with golden light.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

A sound like bones shattering or tree branches snapping rang out from his chest, followed by similar sounds from all over his body, crackling like firecrackers. However, the sounds came and went quickly, and as they ceased, the golden light emanating from his body vanished.

A moment later, when he finished regulating his breathing, closed his meditation, and opened his eyes to exhale a breath of stale air, he sniffed the air and was hit by a strong, disgusting stench. He couldn't help but frown, and then looked down. What he saw shocked him, and he immediately exclaimed in astonishment, "Uh?" followed by a curse: "Damn it! It's filthy!"

His entire body was covered in a sticky, black liquid, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He quickly raised his hand and smelled it. Then he muttered to himself, "So I have so many toxins in my body. No, this is too uncomfortable. I need to go wash up right away."

Yes, these sticky black liquids are the toxins forced out by the Fire Dragon Pill.

There happened to be a natural lake at the foot of the mountain. Without saying a word, Chao Bufan plunged into the water, took a comfortable bath, and then went ashore, sat on a rock on the bank, and stretched comfortably.

However, his skin color had clearly changed compared to before. His previous dark skin was gone, replaced by a bronze complexion.

He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is the true nature of a man. A descendant of the dragon should have yellow skin. I like this skin."

"Kid, stop showing off and take a look at the changes in your body!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan chuckled, quickly examined himself, and then burst into laughter.

His loud laughter startled several white dew birds perched on the treetops not far away.

"Gah!"

The few white deer let out a shriek, then spread their wings and flew away, while his laughter echoed throughout the valley for a long time.

"Young man, you have quite the refined taste! You're all alone and yet you're laughing so happily."

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out behind him. Chao Bufan was slightly startled and quickly turned around. What he saw shocked him greatly, and his eyes twitched violently.

He froze, and his heart stopped beating for a moment.

Behind them, a beautiful young woman in her early twenties walked gracefully and calmly down from the air with a smile on her face.

She came down from the sky.

A breathtakingly beautiful body was thus exposed to the air. Her snow-white, smooth skin was as flawless as white jade, dazzlingly white, so white it made one dizzy!

The sky was clear and the sea was azure. A person, with an extremely elegant and classical posture, slowly walked out of the air carrying a small bamboo house on their back, as if they had stepped out of an extremely ancient myth.

The golden sunlight shone on her, making her skin as soft and sweet as milk.

Her hair shimmered like satin in the sunlight.

Her teeth were white, her eyes were dark, and the curves of her waist were as soft as ripples on water.

It is unknown how much time passed before Chao Bufan began to regain his heartbeat and breathing.

But he still couldn't think; he was still at a loss.

He was completely stunned by her beauty, as if he had lost his soul.

This is no longer the extraordinary person he usually is.

That calm, composed man, who was always full of self-confidence, now seems to have turned into something else entirely.

Is it because he himself is almost completely exposed? And her bright and beautiful eyes are fixed on certain parts of his body that shouldn't be seen by others.
