Chapter 338: Chapter 336: 336 Qi Refinement Level 6_1

“`

Upon learning that the twenty-three percent of shares had been gambled away by his father at the table, Ethan Locke’s face turned iron blue with rage as he clenched his teeth and said:

“Alan Locke, because of you alone, grandfather died of anger, our family’s assets were snatched away by others, you’ve destroyed the entire Locke family!”

“I…”

When his son called him by his full name, Alan Locke didn’t have a single bit of temper left, like a defeated rooster hanging his head, devoid of any spirit.

Alan Locke sneered with some schadenfreude:

“This kind of scum, just slaughter him directly, saving our Locke family from further disaster.”

“You’re not any fucking better!” Ethan Locke shouted angrily.

Alan Locke’s face changed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he said nothing more.

The air inside the room suddenly fell silent, only Ethan Locke’s heavy breathing echoing like a bellows.

Alan Locke stood by the side, not daring to breathe heavily until he saw Ethan Locke calm down, then he ventured to ask:

“Ethan, what do we do now? How about we go down south, find a small city, and start anew, maybe…”

“Start anew what?”

Ethan Locke turned to look at him, his icy gaze made him immediately shut his mouth.

“Just leave behind everything Locke family has in Jamae?”

Alan Locke mumbled: “Well… apart from this villa right now, we’ve got nothing left in Jamae.”

Ethan Locke glared at him, took a deep breath, looked around, and asked: “How many people do we have left in the Locke family?”

“The Bright Strength Experts we cultivated before, there are twenty-three left, right now they are outside this villa.”

After Alan Locke answered, he asked: “What are you thinking of doing?”

Ethan Locke fell silent, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Steal the Fragrant Spirit Grass! The Simmons family agreed, as long as we can offer up the Fragrant Spirit Grass, they will help us take back Locke Corp.”

“Really?”

Alan Locke’s eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, as he sighed: “Easier said than done, who knows whose hands that thing is in now?”

Ethan Locke shook his head and scoffed: “The Fragrant Spirit Grass must have been taken by Greg Jensen, as long as we get hold of his weakness, I don’t believe he won’t hand it over!”

What if it isn’t with him?

Alan Locke wanted to ask, but seeing Ethan Locke’s certain expression, he could only quietly sigh.

He also knew that, given the current situation of the Locke family, if they didn’t want to barely survive in a foreign land, they had to gamble this one time.

Gamble that the Fragrant Spirit Grass was with Greg Jensen, gamble that he would obediently hand it over.

Otherwise, the Locke family would be completely hopeless!

“Then let’s do it!”

Alan Locke also made up his mind, grinding his teeth as he said: “Whatever you say, I’m with you, we’ve got nothing to lose.”

Ethan Locke said indifferently: “Wait!”

“Wait?”

Alan Locke was a bit puzzled but didn’t ask any further, quietly waiting alongside Ethan Locke.

They waited a whole day until, at the time of lighting the lamps, a message finally arrived on Ethan Locke’s phone.

He stared at it for a long time before standing up and saying: “Let’s go!”

Alan Locke asked curiously: “Go where?”

“Peach Blossom Village!”

…

In the villa at Enchanted River town, after a busy day, Greg Jensen returned home, intending to ask Trey Holmes to cook, when suddenly he caught a whiff of a delicious smell coming from the kitchen.

He then remembered, Lois Abbott was still at home.

As he walked into the dining room, he saw four dishes and a soup already laid out on the table, with Lois Abbott beside them serving rice.

“You’re back? Must be tired, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner,” Lois Abbott said with a smile.

Greg Jensen felt a warmth in his heart, walked over, embraced her from behind, and planted a kiss on her earlobe.

Lois Abbott trembled, quickly pushed him away, and said urgently, “Stop it, Cindy’s still here.”

Trey Holmes stood at the door with a silly smile: “Carry on, I didn’t see anything.”

“Go, go, go, go wash your hands!”

With a blush on her face, Lois Abbott glared at Greg Jensen and turned to continue serving the rice.

“`

Greg Jensen laughed heartily and walked into the washroom.

Lois Abbott’s cooking skills were quite decent, and she made all the dishes that Greg liked. The three of them sat by the dining table, eating and chatting.

Greg suggested, “How about we hire a housekeeper? We can’t have you cooking all the time, especially with the new year approaching and the need to settle matters with Peach Blossom Supermarket.”

Trey Holmes blinked and said, “Boss, am I not the housekeeper?”

Lois laughed, “He’s counting on you to drive for him, how could he let you stay at home cooking?”

“Oh.”

Trey nodded and replied, “Then I’ll go to the job market tomorrow to have a look.”

Greg smiled, “It would be best to find another one like you.”

“It won’t be easy to find someone like me.”

“Hey, when did you learn to brag?”

“Boss, I’m not bragging. Someone as versatile as me is really hard to come by.”

Watching Trey Holmes speak so earnestly, Greg and Lois burst into laughter at the same time.

After the meal, Trey very considerately returned to his room, and Greg, with his arms around Lois, went back to the bedroom.

“Come on, we just finished eating—what’s the rush?” Lois said, her face flushing.

Although the two had not seen each other for a long time, and several days had passed, Lois was still somewhat reserved.

Of course, after getting into the mood, this was no longer an issue.

So, Greg didn’t give her a chance to resist; as soon as he closed the door, he headed straight to the point.

These past few days, he felt as if the barrier had loosened somewhat. Today, in high spirits, he decided to sprint forward to see if he could break through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

“Not enough, it’s still not enough!”

“What’s not enough? You… mmm…”

After several attempts, Greg finally felt the barrier to the sixth level of Qi Refinement. He left Lois, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, and went up to the rooftop alone.

He casually took out a few Qi and Blood Pills and popped them into his mouth.

The massive medicinal power was wrapped up by the True Qi, traveling through his meridians and rushing towards the Jade Pillow Gate.

With a few forceful impacts, the membrane finally broke!

Instantly, there was an exhilarating sensation, as if every cell in his body was filled with joy. Greg was so comfortable that he almost cried out loud.

The velocity of his True Qi circulation was so rapid that he felt like it was about to go out of control.

In the tightly closed room, a breeze seemed to arise from nowhere. The barely visible nature’s spiritual energy flocked toward him, forming a vortex above his head.

“Er…”

Countless streams of spiritual energy surged into his body, and his True Qi started to grow at a visible rate.

This is…

Is this the advantage of having one’s state of mind surpass their level of cultivation?

In that instant, countless images flashed through his mind.

There was the image of earning his first pot of gold and watching his aunt jump for joy;

The image of watching Cindy Harrison being taken away by inspectors;

In the end, the image settled on the Locke Corporation’s boardroom.

Ethan Locke stood there like a statue, utterly dumbfounded, his face a picture of disbelief.

That sense of intense satisfaction from having his revenge surged through him once again.

Greg felt a vague enlightenment in his heart. When one’s state of mind exceeded their realm, the speed of True Qi growth and circulation would be several times faster than before.

After an unknown amount of time, the breeze inside the room finally stopped.

Greg slowly opened his eyes, a joyful expression on his face as he stretched out his hand, a hard-to-discern True Qi materializing in his palm.

Sixth level of Qi Refinement!

The Master Realm mentioned by martial experts!

At this moment, he was barely able to project his True Qi outward. To control it freely, he would have to wait until the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

By then, he would be able to cultivate his Divine Sense, thereby gaining even stronger control over his True Qi.
