"Zhou Fan, you look even younger than me, yet your cultivation has already reached the Qi Refining Late Stage. Your Spiritual Root must at least be a Yellow Spiritual Root, right?"
Zhou Fan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure what Aptitude my Spiritual Root is."
Zhou Fan naturally knew that his current Spiritual Root was an Inferior Yin Spiritual Root, but it would definitely change in the future, which was why he told Shen Yufu that he wasn't sure about the Aptitude of his Spiritual Root.
Shen Yufu didn't doubt Zhou Fan's words, as detecting a Spiritual Root required a specialized Magical Artifact.
Zhou Fan didn't have a single Magical Artifact on him; he clearly looked like a Loose Cultivator, without any sect or faction, so it was normal for him not to know his Spiritual Root's Aptitude.
So Shen Yufu softly said, "Zhou Fan, since you have Qi Refining Late Stage cultivation, then we can be together."
"After ten years, when the Immortal-Mortal Passage opens, people from the Cultivation World of Luoyun Temple will test our cultivation and Aptitude."
"With your Qi Refining Late Stage cultivation, even if your Spiritual Root Aptitude is only an Ordinary Spiritual Root, you can still enter the Cultivation World with me."
"At that time, will you join the Luoyun Temple faction in the Cultivation World with me?"
"No."
"Ah? Why?" Shen Yufu asked in surprise.
"Fu Fu Jie, you've already agreed to be with me, yet you're still calling me by my name."
Seeing Zhou Fan turn his head away like a pouting child, Shen Yufu felt her maternal instincts being stirred.
So she twisted her waist and sat in Zhou Fan's lap, hooking his cheek with her slender, jade-like fingers and saying,
"Fanfan little husband, your big sister truly loves you to death."
Looking at Shen Xianzi nestled in his arms, Zhou Fan's stomach suddenly ached.
"Fu Fu Jie, I'm feeling a bit unwell right now. Can you help me?"
Shen Yufu looked down at Zhou Fan's stomach, her expression very shocked.
She swallowed, not expecting that she had been talking to such a powerful existence earlier.
However, as a good big sister, how could Shen Yufu bear to see her younger brother suffer?
...
The next day.
Shen Yufu took out several more sets of Immortal Qi-filled clothes from her Storage Pouch for Zhou Fan to admire. Zhou Fan naturally thought they were all excellent and perfectly matched Shen Xianzi's aura.
However, for some unknown reason, these originally high-quality garments all suffered varying degrees of damage after one day, and Zhou Fan couldn't do anything about it.
He could only carry Shen Yufu, who was wrapped entirely in a tattered Daoist robe, and fly back to Luoyun Temple.
Luoyun Temple also had a Mountain Protecting Array; any existence below the Foundation Establishment Stage that trespassed into Luoyun Temple would be discovered and trapped by the Mountain Protecting Array.
However, the current abbot of Luoyun Temple was Shen Yufu, who was lying in Zhou Fan's arms, and the Mountain Protecting Array of Luoyun Temple was also under her control.
Shen Yufu was deeply devoted to Zhou Fan now, so she naturally wouldn't obstruct him.
Zhou Fan also went unimpeded directly into Shen Xianzi's boudoir in the backyard of Luoyun Temple.
As soon as Shen Yufu returned to Luoyun Temple, she diligently handled the recent affairs of Luoyun Temple, truly appearing to be a conscientious and responsible abbot.
At the same time, Shen Yufu introduced Zhou Fan to everyone in the temple and emphasized to several female Disciples with hearts in their eyes that Zhou Fan was her good friend.
Afterward, the two returned to Shen Yufu's boudoir, where Shen Xianzi, feeling a bit jealous that Zhou Fan was so popular with young girls, bullied her naughty younger brother several times again.
As the possessor of the Extreme Overlord Body and Nine Yang Body, Zhou Fan naturally wouldn't indulge Fu Fu Jie's little habit of being jealous.
The two found an arena to engage in a Dao battle.
This time, Zhou Fan went all out until Shen Xianzi raised her hands in surrender, only then did Zhou Fan withdraw his Divine Ability.
After Shen Yufu had a good rest, she became even more clingy to Zhou Fan.
Subsequently, the two studied multiple subjects together. Once Shen Xianzi realized she was completely inseparable from her naughty younger brother, she dressed neatly and took the dignified Zhou Fan to meet her Master.
Shen Yufu's Master was also a Qi Refining Cultivator, but her Master was only an Ordinary Spiritual Root, and after cultivating diligently her entire life in the Fan Realm, she only reached the Qi Refining Late Stage Realm.
She had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage in this life, and Qi Refining Cultivators could only live for a maximum of 200 years. In this regard, the Lifespan of Qi Refining Cultivators was not as long as that of Body Refinement Cultivators in the Heavenly Human Realm, who could live up to 250 years.
Zhou Fan speculated that this might be because the Qi Refining Realm was too basic, so crude martial artists who vigorously tempered their Physical Body and had abundant Qi and blood could live longer.
However, after both Qi Refining Cultivators and Body Refinement Cultivators Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, their Lifespans would both be 300 years.
Subsequently, in the Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and so on, the Lifespans of Body Refinement Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators were almost the same.
All of this was told to Zhou Fan by Fu Fu Jie.
...
Let's just say, Zhou Fan and Shen Yufu, holding each other's hands like a pair of immortal companions, went to visit Shen Yufu's Master, who was nearing her end.
Shen Yufu's Master now looked like an old woman. When she saw that Shen Yufu had found such a handsome and dashing Dao Companion who had broken through to the Qi Refining Late Stage at such a young age, she was naturally very satisfied.
She held Shen Yufu's and Zhou Fan's hands, giving them many heartfelt instructions. Zhou Fan was also happy to chat with this kind old grandmother for a while longer.
After all, before the System arrived, Zhou Fan's age had also reached the point of nearing his end, so he naturally knew very well what elders of that age liked to hear.
So, after a conversation, Shen Yufu's Master became even more satisfied with Zhou Fan, even sighing a few times, saying, "If only I had met such a fine young man like Zhou Fan when I was young, I wouldn't have ended up alone."
Zhou Fan also expressed, "Elder, you must have been a Heavenly Immortal-like beauty when you were young."
For a time, the entire Luoyun Temple became even more harmonious due to Zhou Fan's arrival.
Shen Xianzi also became even more infatuated with her naughty younger brother, Zhou Fan.
Until...
