Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Xu Lei was cultivating in the temple’s Cultivation Room.

Energy flowed over his body.

The Demon Core in front of him steadily shrank.

Meanwhile, the aura around Xu Lei surged.

’I’ve finally broken through! I’m about to reach the second Great Realm of the Middle Three Realms, the Bodhisattva Core Realm.’

Xu Lei was delighted.

Through Introspection, he could see inside his Dantian.

Inside one of the Bodhisattva Fruits on the Bodhi Tree, a small, core-like object had appeared.

This was the new Great Realm of the Bodhisattva Dao.

He would have to form a core within every one of the Bodhisattva Fruits.

Before, the Bodhisattva Fruits were just fruit-like shapes with a skin.

Inside was just a space for storing Magical Power.

But once the core had formed...

...the Bodhisattva Fruit could contain even more Magical Power, and the quality of that power would be relatively higher as well.

’Time to keep cultivating.’

However, Xu Lei didn’t stop there. He absorbed another wisp of energy from the Demon Core.

「Two more months passed in the blink of an eye.」

On this day, Xu Lei was still cultivating in the temple’s inner courtyard.

Magical Power flowed through his body as he sat cross-legged.

As he withdrew all of his Magical Power...

...he let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

’Bodhisattva Core Realm, Tier One Perfection.’

A smile touched Xu Lei’s lips. ’Breaking through to Tier Two is just around the corner.’

’I’ve only refined one and a half Demon Cores.’

’The other one and a half can still be refined.’

’Not bad.’

Stretching, Xu Lei walked out of the Cultivation Room.

At the same time, Xu Lei considered his current level of Power.

’If I were to run into those three Enchantresses I didn’t manage to kill before...’

’I should be strong enough to handle the tall, thin female Enchantress.’

’But it probably wouldn’t be enough for the portly female Enchantress.’

’And it still wouldn’t be enough for the strongest Male Enchantress.’

This made Xu Lei feel he still wasn’t strong enough. He had to continue getting stronger.

Of course, Xu Lei was already pleasantly surprised to have made this much progress.

He originally hadn’t even dared to hope for this kind of progress in this lifetime.

It seemed that Zhao Xin had brought all of this about.

After all, if it weren’t for the Trapped Dragon Heaven-Strangling Array...

...Xu Lei would never have had these two great opportunities.

’I wonder how Xin’er is doing!’ Xu Lei couldn’t help but wonder.

Just then, Xu Lei sensed a figure tiptoeing up behind him.

He glanced at a water droplet on a rain-kissed leaf in front of him. From the faint, distorted reflection, he immediately recognized the person behind him: Zhao Xin.

Surprise gave way to a surge of joy in his heart.

After all, they hadn’t seen each other in nearly half a year.

Zhao Xin had said she would be in seclusion for about half a year, but it looked like she’d come out a few days early.

Xu Lei didn’t let on that he had noticed her.

Instead, as she drew near, he suddenly spun around and swept her up into his arms.

"Eek!"

Zhao Xin jumped. "Uncle Hui Chi, I was trying to scare you!"

"I can’t believe you found me out!"

"You’re so hard to fool."

"You crafty old man! Hmph!"

"This old man wants a taste of a tender young thing."

Xu Lei said, "My pure, innocent little girl, would you be willing to receive this old man’s... charitable giving?!"

"I... am... not!"

Zhao Xin wrapped her slender arms around Xu Lei’s neck and her legs around his waist. Her lovely eyes danced, her pretty face flushed, and she purred, "Just *one* little act of charitable giving?"

"What good will that do?"

"Unless it’s a thousand times... or ten thousand!"

"Alright."

Xu Lei said, "Then ten thousand it is."

"Mmm-hmm."

Zhao Xin pressed her lips to Xu Lei’s. "Uncle Hui Chi, it’s been almost half a year since you’ve given Xin’er your charitable giving."

"Xin’er has missed you like crazy."

"I’ve thought about you every single day."

"I’ve wanted you to give me your charitable giving until I cry."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei carried her into the room and locked the door. "Then let the charitable giving begin now."

「The next day.」

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin descended the mountain.

The two of them arrived at a restaurant in the city.

They ordered a large table full of delicious food.

For nearly the past half a year...

...while following her master, Jingchun, Zhao Xin naturally hadn’t eaten any meat.

She had been craving it for ages.

"SOB SOB SOB..."

In their private room, Zhao Xin sat on Xu Lei’s lap, eating with happy tears streaming down her face. "I can finally eat meat again," she exclaimed, her face a picture of pure bliss.

"Slow down."

Xu Lei held Zhao Xin, channeling his Phoenix True Flame to help her refine the food, and said, "You can have it for every meal from now on. You don’t have to wolf it down like this."

"Uncle Hui Chi, can you... give me your charitable giving?"

But Zhao Xin said, "I want double the happiness."

"Here?"

Xu Lei said, "Won’t that get in the way of your eating?"

"It’s fine."

Zhao Xin’s pretty face flushed as she whispered, "Please... do it."

"The reason I said I wanted to eat in a private room..."

"...was precisely because I wanted this."

"Alright."

Xu Lei nodded. "As you wish."

Two hours later, having eaten and drunk their fill, a properly dressed Xu Lei and Zhao Xin walked out of the restaurant.

The two of them then strolled down the street, hand in hand.

"Hm?"

But unexpectedly, a voice suddenly called out from the side, "Jin Xin?"

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin turned to look and were horrified to see it was Jingchun.

Jingchun was still dressed in a Daoist Robe, but even the loose garment couldn’t conceal her stunningly curvaceous figure.

"This Daoist master?"

Xu Lei, of course, immediately put on an innocent expression, blinked, and asked, "Do you know us?"

After all, when Xu Lei and Zhao Xin had come down the mountain, they had changed into plain clothes.

They weren’t wearing a monk’s robe or a Daoist Robe.

Xu Lei had used a Human Skin Mask to alter his facial features slightly.

Zhao Xin, meanwhile, was wearing her Jade Pendant, which had also altered her appearance a little.

Nevertheless, both of them were still panicking a little on the inside.

They were Dao Companions, after all, down from the mountain to have some fun. And though they had altered their appearances...

...they hadn’t changed them too drastically, wanting to still look good for each other.
