âAhâ¦â As his cultivation broke through, Ye Qiu let out a long sigh. His body shook and he entered a calm state. âAwesomeâ¦â
Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes and carefully felt the terrifying power in his body. He smiled. âAt this rate, I only need to raise my mental state to break through to the peak of the Paragon realm. At that time, it will be the time for me to break through to the King-Ranked realm.
âKing-Ranked powerhouse? It doesnât seem very difficult.â
The breakthrough overnight made Ye Qiu feel that he could do it again.
After this seclusion, his strength had greatly increased. The Cursive Sword Technique, Kun Peng Treasure Technique, and many other secret techniques had also greatly improved during this seclusion.
At this moment, the profundity of the Sword Dao was even more exquisite. Ye Qiu could roughly grasp the highest profundity of the third technique.
The increase in his strength was unimaginable.
After immersing himself for a while, he still needed some time to improve his mental state. During this period of time, he could consider cultivating two paths at the same time.
Unfortunately, this Godfiend Body Tempering Technique was an incomplete version. Currently, it was only at the Heaven-grade. However, it didnât matter. With Ye Qiuâs current perception, it shouldnât be difficult for him to comprehend the profundities of it with the two Great Dao Flowers.
Perhaps he could try to repair it.
Moreover, he has the support of the True Dragon Rune, once Ye Qiu successfully refined his body, his strength would definitely increase by another realm. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu slowly stood up. With a bang, the door of the secret room opened.
At this moment, in the peach blossom forest of Violet Cloud Peak.
âGiddy upâ¦â
âChargeâ¦â
âKillâ¦â
A childish shout came from the peach forest.
As soon as Ye Qiu walked out of the hall, he saw Little Linglong riding a unicorn and holding the Spirit Wind Hammer driving a group of Psychic Immortal Cranes. Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu immediately had a headache.
This little guy had no one to play with, but she had fun playing by herself.
In the past few days, all the spirit beasts in the mountains had been harmed by her. It was a tragic sight. Ever since she went up the mountain, Violet Cloud Peak had been in chaos.
Those spirit beasts were like birds of a feather. They cried out but there was no response. There was no way to live.
âLittle Junior Sister, come back quickly. Itâs time to studyâ¦â Lin Qingzhu stood helplessly at the foot of the mountain. She looked at Little Linglong, who was driving the spirit beasts, with a depressed expression. She had been worried sick for the past few days. She finally understood why this wretched girl was expelled on the first day of school.
Good lord, she and Zhao Wanâer had taught her for ten days, but they had only taught her three words.
Grilled sweet potatoesâ¦
It was simply godly.
Her mind was not on studying at all. As soon as she was free, she wanted to find someone to fight. Or she would go up the mountain to catch unicorns and immortal cranes.
These few days, Lin Qingzhu had become much more haggard.
On the other side, Lin Qingzhu was about to call Little Linglong down to read when she suddenly felt movement in the Qianqing Palace. She turned around and saw that Ye Qiu had come out of seclusion.
In an instant, she teleported in front of Little Linglong and carried her down. The two of them arrived in front of Ye Qiu.
âDisciple welcomes Master from seclusion.â Lin Qingzhu immediately bowed and greeted, while Little Linglong ran over with a smile.
âMaster, letâs go to school, okay? Iâve just learned a few hammer techniques recently, and theyâre especially amazing. Iâll beat them into pig heads later.â
The corner of Ye Qiuâs mouth twitched and he said, âLinglong, I asked you to study. Have you been studying seriously recently?â
Little Linglong tilted her head and blinked her big watery eyes. She said proudly, âHehe, Master, Iâve been studying hard. Iâve already learned three wordsâ¦â
âHmm, not badâ¦â Ye Qiu nodded. When he regained his senses, he realized that something was wrong. âWhat⦠three?â
The corner of Ye Qiuâs mouth twitched. Good lord, it had been at least ten days since he went into seclusion, right? She only learned three words in ten days?
As expected of you, Martial Monarch Linglong. Youâre so terrifying. Asking you to read and write was making things difficult for you.
âLearn three words in ten days?â Ye Qiu didnât give up and asked again.
Little Linglong said as if she was showing off, âYes, yes. Master, Iâm great, right? Three wordsâ¦â
Ye Qiu was stunned, then he laughed. It seemed that it was indeed a little difficult to make Martial Monarch Linglong learn how to read. However, it did not matter. If she could not read, then she would practice body tempering.
Lin Qingzhu walked up and said with a depressed expression, âMaster, Iâve already tried my best. Little Junior Sister isnât in the mood to study at all. Sheâs gone whenever Iâm not looking.â
Ye Qiuâs heart ached when he saw her haggard face. He had made things difficult for her. Turning around, Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. âWhereâs Wanâer?â
Little Linglong excitedly said, âMaster, Senior Sister Wanâer said that she went into seclusion. I havenât seen her for a few days.â
âDid she croak?â
Smackâ¦
Lin Qingzhu hit her head without hesitation, making her feel dazed.?Was that wrong? Why did Senior Sister hit me?
Lin Qingzhu explained, âMaster, Wanâer had some enlightenment and went into seclusion to break through to Infinite Distance.â
Ye Qiu nodded. Zhao Wanâerâs cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Celestial realm. She could enter Infinite Distance with a single step. It was normal for her to go into seclusion now.
Turning around to look at his eldest disciple, Ye Qiu slowly said, âQingzhu, itâs been hard on you these past few days. Go back and enter seclusion. The Dao discussion on Mount Yun Ding was imminent. You must not neglect your cultivation because of these trivial matters. Leave this little fellow to me. You donât have to worry about it.â
Lin Qingzhu nodded solemnly. She was just a little worried about Little Linglong. Otherwise, she would have gone into seclusion long ago. âAlright, Iâll listen to Master. Iâll definitely make up for my wasted cultivation these few days.â
After saying that, Lin Qingzhu turned around and instructed Little Linglong, âLittle Junior Sister, donât play around anymore. Cultivate well with Master, understand?â
Little Linglong was stunned and only nodded, not understanding what she meant.
After Lin Qingzhu instructed her, she turned around and said to Ye Qiu, âOh right, Master, a few days ago, Xunyang Pavilionâs Shopkeeper Situ sent someone to send the medicinal herbs he bought up the mountain.â As she spoke, she handed Ye Qiu a jade pendant and continued, âAnd the money from the last auction. After deducting the payment for the herbs, itâs all inside.â
Ye Qiuâs eyes lit up. He was delighted. After waiting for so long, these things had finally returned.
Ye Qiu silently took the jade pendant and roughly checked the amount of gold inside. As the previous auction was conducted in silver, the amount was too large and all of them were exchanged for gold.
Ye Qiu roughly checked the amount. It was about 100 million taels of gold. This was not a small sum.
At that time, Ye Qiu would cash out another wave. If he was lucky, he would trigger a hundred thousand-times critical hit.
Damn itâ¦
Could he become the richest man in the Great Desolate World? Hmm⦠just thinking about it felt wonderful.
He counted the number of herbs and found that they were all correct.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, âYes, very good⦠With this batch of herbs, the rest will be much easier.â
Looking at Little Linglong, Ye Qiu was delighted. He would start with this little fellow.
Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to use this batch of herbs to refine pills. However, this plan was temporarily canceled because Little Linglong had gone up the mountain. He needed to use more than half of the herbs to refine Little Linglongâs body.
At that time, he would be able to obtain more spirit herbs that could support his cultivation of the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.
Ye Qiu slowly walked to the center of the garden and raised his hand to take out the Qiankun Cauldron. He chose a few herbs and placed them into the Qiankun Cauldron. After injecting the water, he slowly pushed with his palms, and a powerful force instantly lifted the entire Qiankun Cauldron.
The medicinal herbs in the cauldron were instantly stimulated by Ye Qiuâs power. The medicinal strength fused into the water and became extremely hot.
Lin Qingzhu was shocked when she saw this scene, not knowing what Ye Qiu was going to do.
Lin Qingzhu turned around and looked at the cunning Little Linglong who wanted to sneak away. She smiled and pulled her over.
As the Qiankun Cauldron slowly descended, the precious medicine in the cauldron had already been activated. The boiling medicinal liquid surged, looking extremely terrifying.
Little Linglongâs face turned pale from fright. Ye Qiu said, âLinglong, go in.â
âWhat?â
Upon hearing this, Little Linglongâs face turned pale.?Is Master going to cook me?
âMaster, I wonât dare to do it again. I will study hard in the future and be obedient. Master, donât cook meâ¦â Little Linglong immediately fell to the ground in fear. She hugged Ye Qiuâs thigh and begged for mercy.
Ye Qiuâs face darkened. This damn girl. He didnât expect her to be afraid of something. If word got out that Martial Monarch Linglong was afraid of being cookedâ¦
Ye Qiu curled his lips and said, âDonât you want to be invincible among your peers? Iâll make you invincible among your peers now. As long as youâre willing to enter and absorb all the precious medicine inside, youâll be invincible among your peersâ¦â
As soon as these words were spoken, Martial Monarch Linglongâs tears immediately stopped, and she gradually revealed a crazy smile.
âReally?â Could she really be invincible among her peers?
Ye Qiu smiled and said, âReally. When have I ever lied to you? Today, I will teach you the strongest body tempering technique in the world. Once you master the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique, you will be invincible in the world. How is it? Are you excited?â
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking.
Pfttâ¦
A petite shadow jumped into the water. Water splashed and a small head appeared from the cauldron.
âSo hot, so hotâ¦â
Ye Qiu turned around and was shocked.
This little guy jumped in without hesitation when she heard that she would be invincible among her peers? He felt ashamedâ¦
âMaster, quickly teach me how to suck them dryâ¦â Little Linglong endured the pain and gritted her teeth.
Ye Qiu walked around the Qiankun Cauldron. The precious medicine in the cauldron had already been activated. At this moment, it was continuously tempering her exquisite body.
âOpen your chest and relax your entire body. Donât have any resistance. Try to sense the existence of this power and absorb itâ¦â Ye Qiu said slowly, carefully observing Little Linglongâs every move. Once there was a problem, he would immediately attack.
Because Little Linglong had just started cultivating, Ye Qiu didnât increase the medicinal effect, afraid that she wouldnât be able to withstand it.
Hearing Ye Qiuâs reminder, Little Linglong slowly opened her hands and closed her eyes. She followed Ye Qiuâs instructions and felt the power flowing through her limbs and bones. The power of the precious medicine was extremely powerful, constantly piercing her nerves. However, for the sake of being invincible among her peers, she actually endured it.
Ye Qiu couldnât help but admire her endurance.
After an unknown period of time, Little Linglong suddenly opened her eyes and her power erupted.
Ye Qiu was shocked and carefully checked the changes in her body.
âGasp⦠Foundation Establishment succeeded?â
Ye Qiu was shocked. On second thought, it made sense. She had an innate immortal body and heaven-defying aptitude. In less than a moment, she had absorbed all the power of the precious medicine.
At this moment, her cultivation had also entered the first level of Foundation Establishment.
The level of Body Tempering was similar to Qi Mastery. Other than the first that was different, the rest were the same.
The first realm of Body Tempering was Foundation Establishment.
The first realm of Qi Refinement was the Qi Mastery realm.
Unlike Qi Refinement, Body Tempering consumed a lot of resources. It required a large number of precious herbs to temper the body and reach a perfect state.
While absorbing the precious medicine, its strength, speed, and other aspects would be greatly improved.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Qiu was delighted after carefully feeling the changes in Little Linglongâs body. Then, he took out another stalk of grass from the jade pendant.
This grass was called Spirit Stream Grass, a supreme-grade precious medicine. Although it had not reached the level of a spirit medicine, its effects were still extremely shocking.
After placing the Spirit Stream Grass into the cauldron, Ye Qiu injected a stream of Qi into Little Linglongâs body and started circulating it. He slowly said, âDisciple, remember my circulation route. In a while, you just need to follow this route.â
Little Linglong nodded and calmed down, carefully sensing Ye Qiuâs aura.
Ye Qiu slowly pushed the Qi in her body and circulated it with the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique. After a cycle, Little Linglongâs cultivation successfully stepped into the second level of Foundation Establishment.
Ye Qiu was shocked by this terrifying speed of improvement.
âHehe, as expected of Martial Monarch Linglong. Her talent is superbâ¦â The guess in his heart became stronger and stronger. Ye Qiu even took out the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.
It all depended on whether Martial Monarch Linglong could withstand this kind of karma.
Ye Qiuâs principle was: if he didnât give, he would not give a single one, if he did, he would give the best.
Letâs see what she would do when she found her previous life.
After a cycle, Ye Qiu asked again, âDisciple, did you remember my circulation route just now?â
Little Linglong said seriously, âI remember clearly.â
âAlright, to be safe, Iâll bring you around again. After this round, you can circulate on your own.â Ye Qiu instructed and continued to circulate the Heavenly Cycle. After one cycle, he slowly stopped.
Little Linglongâs comprehension ability was extremely high. Although she thought about fighting every day, her talent was actually not bad at all. It was just that she didnât want to learn it. If she wanted to learn, she would immediately grasp the essence of a profound cultivation technique.
Ye Qiu was shocked by this comprehension ability. It seemed that it wasnât impossible to cultivate if one couldnât read.
After Ye Qiu stopped, Little Linglong immediately followed Ye Qiuâs guidance and began to circulate her Qi.
Lin Qingzhu was shocked to see her cultivation rapidly increase. Her mouth opened and her face was filled with surprise.
âThis⦠Little Junior Sisterâs talent is too abnormal, right?â
It had only been a few minutes, but she had already reached the third level of Foundation Establishment? This was much more abnormal than when she first entered the sect. Back then, she would only advance one level a day. Little Linglong actually advanced three levels a day.
This was not the end. She had yet to absorb all the precious medicine in the Qiankun Cauldron and was still absorbing it. This terrifying speed of improvement made Lin Qingzhu feel a sense of danger.
As the eldest senior sister, she could not let her junior sisters surpass her. Otherwise, how could she protect them in the future?
Lin Qingzhuâs expression turned solemn. She bade farewell to Ye Qiu and returned to her room to cultivate. Because of the delay of these few days, her cultivation had been wasted. She needed to make up for it as soon as possible.
âAh⦠It hurtsâ¦â
In the Qiankun Cauldron, she lasted for a full two hours before she finally couldnât take it anymore. With a scream, she jumped out of the cauldron and ran through the garden.
Ye Qiu looked at her miserable appearance and didnât stop her.
When she was tired from running, she just laid on the ground and ignored everything.
Ye Qiu walked over and carefully checked. At this moment, her cultivation had already entered the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. This astonishing speed really frightened Ye Qiu.
One had to know that this was only the beginning. If she continued to absorb higher-level precious medicines, it would probably be even more shocking.
She opened her eyes weakly and grinned. âMaster, can I be invincible among my peers now?â
Ye Qiuâs mouth twitched. He didnât know why she cared so much about this title.
âHmm, itâs still too early to say that. Itâs not that easy to be invincible among your peers. Linglong, you have to understand that thereâs always someone better. If you want to be invincible, you still need to work hard.â
Little Linglong rested for a while before standing up again. She patted the dirt off her body and looked full of energy.
âYes, Master, I understand. I can do it.â After saying that, she plunged into the precious medicine and continued to absorb its power.
Ye Qiu smiled. This child⦠was feasible. She could definitely do it.
[Ding⦠You have given your disciple a Spirit Stream Grass and a number of precious herbs. You have triggered a critical hit.]
[Activate?]
Here it comesâ¦
Ye Qiu hid a meaningful smile and said indifferently, âActivateâ¦â
[Congratulations, you have triggered a thousand-fold critical strike. You have obtained a Connate precious medicine, a huang san root, and a number of spirit medicinesâ¦]
âF*ck! Connate⦠Uh, itâs a precious medicine. Then itâs fine.â
If he had heard wrongly, he would have thought that it was a connate spirit medicine. After coming back to his senses, Ye Qiu was disappointed. But overall, it didnât seem bad. Although this huang san root had not reached the level of an innate spirit medicine, its quality still had the word innate. Its quality was not something ordinary spirit herbs could compare to. The effect of using it to build a foundation could not be better.
It seemed like his idea of cultivating two paths at the same time could finally be realized.
After the return ended, Ye Qiu slowly walked to Little Linglongâs side and carefully observed her changes.
The afternoon passed quickly. The pitch-black medicinal liquid in the Qiankun Cauldron quickly became clear. Clearly, the medicinal power had been completely absorbed by her.
At this moment, her cultivation level had also reached an astonishing level nine of Foundation Establishment.
âOh my god, as expected of Martial Monarch Linglong. Sheâs so terrifyingâ¦â
Ye Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air and carefully felt her strength. It had actually reached an astonishing a hundred thousand pounds.
