?Chapter 540: Chapter 540: The Secret of Cultivation_1 Chapter 540: Chapter 540: The Secret of Cultivation_1 After a long while, the two of them, satisfied, snuggled up to each other.

“Xue, I want to tell you a secret,” Xu Fan said softly, twirling Xu Yixue’s soft and delicate hair with his fingers.

“Hmm, I’m all ears,” Xu Yixue replied, playfully poking Xu Fan’s chest with her fingers.

“I’ve never told anyone about this, you’re the first.

It’s a revelation that might shock conventional beliefs, so be prepared,” he warned.

Seeing Xu Yixue’s expression change, filled with curiosity, Xu Fan then slowly began, “Actually, I’m not an Ancient Martial Artist, but a genuine Cultivator.”

“Cultivator?

What’s that?” Xu Yixue blinked in confusion.

“It means someone even more formidable than an Ancient Martial Artist,” Xu Fan pondered for a moment before adding, “You could think of me as an immortal, at least relative to Sea Blue Star.”

“Ah!

An immortal?!”

Xu Yixue’s mouth opened wide in astonishment; she could hardly believe it and instinctively thought it must be a joke, but Xu Fan never lied to her.

She couldn’t help but recall the night before, when Xu Fan displayed power like that of a heavenly god; she had only thought of Xu Fan as a highly skilled Ancient Martial Artist.

But now, Xu Fan was telling her he was a Cultivator, and her heart raced with the realization that he had just become even more mysterious.

“Perhaps you need some time to accept this reality.”

Xu Fan chuckled, “But you’ll get used to it soon enough.

Remember how I instantly healed your sprained ankle?

Or how it’s always cool when you’re near me during hot weather?

And the Beauty Pills, Youth Preserving Pills, and Nourishing Beauty Pills I made, all these are things only a Cultivator can do.”

“Oh, and Ben Ben was just an ordinary pet dog, but after I fed it Spirit Pills, it awoke its spirit and became an intelligent magical beast, extremely perceptive.”

As Xu Fan slowly recounted event after event, Xu Yixue also began to recall, realizing she had not paid attention to these things before or had thought much about them.

It was only now that she discovered that all the inexplicable things were because Xu Fan was a Cultivator.

“Would you like to experience it again?”

Once Xu Fan finished speaking, his hand lifted and with a flip of his palm, ripples appeared in the space, distorting it slightly.

Then, an immense curtain of water materialized out of nowhere before them.

Inside the water curtain, scene after scene was displayed like a movie, showing the moments they had shared together in the past.

A family of three visiting the zoo, Xu Fan massaging her feet, telling Tongtong bedtime stories, having breakfast together…

The picture quality was incredibly clear, as if made for 4K.

“Hmm…” Xu Yixue watched the series of scenes with surprise and warmth, struck by the touching and odd wonder of it all.

“Right, let me show you this world,” Xu Fan said with a slightly smiling mouth, a flick of his finger causing ripples to dance across the water curtain, which after a few shakes, vanished.

Immediately, he spread the fingers of his hand in front of Xu Yixue.

Then, bright colors started to shine on each of the five fingers; glowing red, dark purple, emerald green, golden yellow, and silver white.

These lights danced joyously like sprites.

“These are the Heavenly Earth Elements, invisible and undetectable to the naked eye, even unfelt.

But Cultivators can refine them and utilize their mighty power for cultivation, for battle.

Get to know them; this dark purple one is the Lightning Element, which naturally restrains sinister beings with its intense power, the bright red is the Flame Element, wildly powerful and scorchingly fierce, with immense destructive force, the emerald green is the Wood Spirit Element, gentle in strength and incredibly effective for healing wounds and nurturing longevity.

And there are…”

Xu Yixue listened with a face full of amazement as Xu Fan introduced them, as if the door to a new world was slowly swinging open before her.

Behind that door lay a fantastical world, storms of wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, transcendence to holiness, and the pursuit of everlasting life.

Her eyes widened in awe, fixated on the lights that appeared upon Xu Fan’s fingertips.

She pursed her lips and couldn’t help but reach out towards these lights, “Can I touch them?”

“Of course.”

Encouraged by Xu Fan’s look, Xu Yixue’s slender jade fingers touched the dark purple light, instantly feeling a tingling sensation as if shocked by electricity, and the bright red light brought her a wave of warmth…

Xu Fan continued to expand her knowledge of cultivators: “Cultivators have a more advanced cultivation system than Ancient Martial Artists.

It’s like how an industrial society is more progressive than a feudal one.”

“Cultivators possess many vast and miraculous abilities.

Powerful cultivators can fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, move mountains and overturn seas.

More importantly, they can increase their longevity continuously, even achieving the fabled eternal youth, truly becoming immortal, living as long as the heavens, everlasting and indestructible.”

Even though Xu Fan spoke in a somewhat flat tone, Xu Yixue felt an unprecedented immense shock from his words.

She stared blankly at the five orbs of light, her heart already in the throes of a tempest, tumultuously churning within.

After being lost in thought for several minutes, Xu Yixue came back to reality as if waking from a dream, muttering to herself, “Eternal life, immortality…”

Suddenly, her eyes shone brightly, she turned and pressed her delicate body against Xu Fan’s solid chest, her hands gently caressing his cheeks, full of anticipation, she asked, “Husband, can I learn cultivation from you?”

Xu Fan looked at her with a smile, “Why would you want to?”

“Of course, I want to live longer,” Xu Yixue cooed softly, “Husband, you are a cultivator, you have long years ahead of you, but I am just a mere mortal, my life will not span more than a few decades.

And as a woman, it won’t be many years before I age and lose my looks, I…”

“Silly girl… is that how you see your husband?” Xu Fan gently scraped her smooth nose with his finger, “I will definitely be with you forever.”

“However, I don’t recommend that you become a cultivator too.

Cultivation is about contending with the natural order, appropriating the creation of heaven and earth, a defiance of the heavenly way.

Hence it is arduous and dangerous, beyond the endurance of ordinary people.

I wish for you to live a happy and blissful life, not to experience such hardships.”

“Once my realm is elevated a bit more, I will find rare treasures, and then I’ll tailor Miraculous Pills and Magical Medicine for you, transforming your constitution into an Immortal Spirit Body, which will automatically absorb nature’s spiritual energy.
