Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 238: Yang Shi Advances

Immediately after, Shen Xu released their portable cave and glanced at Zhen Yuan with eager eyes.

"Let’s go in." He urged and without waiting for an answer, he pulled his husband into the cave.

"Why are you so eager?" Zhen Yuan asked with a knowing smile.

"Don’t tease me. Hurry up and show me the treasures."

"I want a reward first."

"Reward? What kind of reward?"

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he leaned down and kissed Shen Xu.

When the kiss was over, both were a little breathless and Shen Xu had a red flush on his face.

"You..." He glared but his eyes were a little watery and failed to achieve the effect he wanted.

"Alright. I will give you the treasures." Zhen Yuan said, waved his hand and four wooden boxes appeared before them.

"Which one do you want to start with?" He asked.

Hearing the question, the double narrowed his eyes and looked at the boxes.

However, the boxes were the same and he didn’t know which was which.

Eventually, he pinched Zhen Yuan and glared.

"I want to start with the least precious." He said.

"Least precious..." Zhen Yuan frowned before he reached for one of the boxes.

"Start with this one." He said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu took the boxes and immediately opened it.

Inside the box was a red twig.

The twig was thirty centimetres long and had three sprigs branching out from the main vein.

At a glance, it looked like carved jade but also unlike because it emitted a faint fire qi.

"It’s a fire jade branch." Shen Xu exclaimed, his lips curled in a smile.

"Indeed." Zhen Yuan nodded.

The fire jade tree was a precious fire element spiritual tree.

Wherever it grew, the tree would absorb all the surrounding fire qi and lock it within itself.

As a result, the tree contained a large amount of fire qi which was a precious resource for a fire spiritual root cultivator.

"This branch is enough to advance my cultivation from the early stage of the spirit transformation realm to the peak of the mid stage." Shen Xu said in an excited voice.

"Congratulations." Zhen Yuan said with a doting expression.

"Thank you for finding it for me."

"Don’t mention it." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

After storing the fire jade branch, Shen Xu asked for the second box.

"Open this one." Zhen Yuan said, handing over a box.

"I can’t wait..." Shen Xu started but suddenly stopped.

At the same time, his cultivation to fluctuate and soon began rising.

"Yang Shi has advanced to the mid-stage of level five." He said and hurriedly sat cross-legged.

Soon after, he closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing and cultivation level.

This lasted five days.

On the morning of the sixth day, the double opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Yuan with a happy smile.

"As expected, Yang Shi is not just a gold-eating monster." He said and Zhen Yuan chuckled in amusement.

"Your cultivation has risen to the peak of the early stage of the spirit transformation realm. You are only half a step into the mid-stage."

"I know." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"If I am lucky, the fire jade branch may just be enough to tip my cultivation to the late stage of the spirit transformation realm."

"It’s not impossible." Zhen Yuan nodded.

"But your breakthrough will be more certain if we find more cultivation resources."

"We have only been in the Endless Sun Desert for ten years. It’s not a problem to search for another ten years." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to resume checking the treasures?"

"Not yet." Shen Xu said with a meaningful expression.

"What’s the matter?"

"Yang Shi is about to cross a tribulation. We need to deal with that before we resume checking the treasures."

"Has..." Zhen Yuan started but Shen Xu nodded before the man could finish his words. freёwebnoѵel.com

"His second head is about to emerge but he needs to cross the tribulation before it does."

"Alright. I will arrange a lightning guiding formation and other arrays."

"Don’t bother." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"There will only be two lightning bolts. It’s enough to prepare some pills, talismans, and weapons."

After that, the two entered the space and worked hard to prepare the necessary items.

Several hours later, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and Yang Shi left the space and collected the portable cave.

Simultaneously, dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

At a glance, the clouds were darker and denser than tribulation clouds.

Standing below them, Shen Xu felt an unprecedented pressure and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

’Is Yang Shi going to be okay?’ He wondered and subconsciously frowned.

Seeing the frown, Zhen Yuan squeezed his lover’s hand and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Don’t worry. Yang Shi will be fine." He said.

An incense stick later, the heavens rumbled and a black lightning bolt fell from the sky.

The lightning was one metre long and carried a momentum of destroying the world.

However, Yang Shi looked excited, rather than fearful.

"Be careful." Shen Xu shouted and watched as the lightning fell on Yang Shi’s body.

Simultaneously, a heart-wrenching scream filled the surroundings and Shen Xu couldn’t help but shudder.

"With one head, Yang Shi is only slightly more powerful than other monsters at its level. However, once it begins growing its heads and reclaiming its identity, it will become an extraordinary monster that surpasses phoenixes and dragons." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"It’s only natural for the way of heaven to try and eliminate such a being before it regains its true form."

"Maybe we should have arranged the lightning guiding formation." Shen Xu said, beginning to regret his previous complacency.

"Don’t worry, Yang Shi will be fine."

While the two were talking, the second bolt fell and another scream filled the atmosphere.

However, Yang Shi was fine and the two watched as a second head grew out of its neck.

When the process ended, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan stepped into the tribulation circle and sat cross-legged to receive the spiritual blessing.
