The night at Luoli Courtyard is tranquil and long.
On this night,
Chen Ye pretended to be asleep to avoid Zhiwei’s worry, but in fact, his mind was clear.
He kept pondering over the events of the day.
From Qing Jun’s attitude, it was clear she was unwilling to return to the Xu Family.
To be honest, Qing Jun’s response allowed Chen Ye to breathe a sigh of relief.
He was also reluctant to part with his little disciple.
Although this white furred ball was practically useless and always huffed at him...
Still,
what needed to be told to Qing Jun, must eventually be told.
Moreover, now that Xu Qingsong has come to find her, Qing Jun will soon learn about her lineage.
However,
Chen Ye did not expect that Mao Qingzhu, seemingly gentle and virtuous, would have an affair and bear Qing Jun.
No wonder she is reluctant to take Qing Jun back.
But no matter what, Chen Ye couldn’t ignore Qing Jun’s hidden ailment.
Certainly, she was living well five hundred years later.
But at that time, she was half insane. Would such a Qing Jun still be his little disciple?
And the Xu Family is of the True Dragon Lineage.
Their ancestors often experienced such madness as Qing Jun, perhaps there is really a way to suppress Qing Jun’s hidden ailment.
Just need to suppress it for ten or twenty years...
By then, with both his and his disciple’s cultivation advanced, they might have the ability to resolve it.
"I should first find the opportunity to contact Mao Qingzhu. This woman, she claims not to care about Qing Jun, yet she’s given so many precious treasures. Claims to care, yet Qing Jun has been in Lingyin Sect for so long, she hasn’t come to see her? Even let slip the news... Alas, her situation is likely far more difficult than mine."
Chen Ye silently sighed.
Until the deep night, Chen Ye pretended to have slept enough, letting the big girl who kept his knee-pillowed go to sleep.
...
The next day, as dawn broke, Chen Ye leisurely awakened.
He felt entirely comfortable, exceptionally energetic.
Unlike the usual fullness of spiritual power, this was vitality from the depths of the physical body.
Chen Ye slightly dazed, looked within, discovering a consolidated force between muscles and bones, with blood and energy far more vigorous than yesterday.
"Hmm?" His heart stirred, quickly opening the panel.
[Heavy Body Technique Limit Break: 1/800]
Success!
Unlike previous breakthroughs when bones and muscles echoed in harmony, this time the Heavy Body Technique breakthrough was more restrained.
Chen Ye scrutinized himself, his muscle lines remained even and firm, without the anticipated exaggerated expansion.
However, he clearly felt his bones becoming denser and tougher, meridians wider and sturdier, and internal organs filled with vigorous vitality.
This was a transformation from the inside out!
"This limit-breaking Heavy Body Technique is truly extraordinary!"
Chen Ye’s heart was joyful. He clenched his fist, feeling the power within far exceeding before.
If he were to face cultivators of Gao Ming’s level right now, he could probably subdue them with physical power alone.
"Now this physique is likely no inferior to a Fourth-Layer Body Cultivator, right?"
Chen Ye secretly estimated.
The first three layers of body cultivation don’t differ much from advanced martial artists, only at the fourth layer does qualitative change occur.
In the Cultivation Realm, body refining isn’t an independent cultivation system, but it’s equally profound and vast.
Unlike Spirit Plant Masters and Alchemists, body refining greatly enhances a cultivator’s combat power.
Indeed, one’s time and energy are limited.
Especially the path of body refining, which greatly affects normal cultivation.
But this doesn’t hinder a Body Cultivator’s combat power at the same rank, as they often hold the advantage in close combat.
For Chen Ye, having another layer of life-saving capital is undoubtedly priceless.
At this moment, the door of the room opened with a creak.
"Master... Master?"
The little girl rubbed her eyes, poking her head out and looking left and right at the door.
Only when she saw the familiar Luoli Courtyard, did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Without properly wearing her shoes, she ran out with her little bare feet, standing in front of Chen Ye, looking up expectantly:
"Master, teach Qing Jun powerful magic!"
"Why learn powerful magic?"
"Stare——"
The little girl stared at Chen Ye, scornfully saying,
"Is Master stupid? Then why does Master learn powerful magic?"
This little girl, truly becoming more sharp-tongued!
Chen Ye was momentarily speechless.
Took a breath, said:
"Master just finds it strange, you were slacking off not long ago, why today are you so motivated?"
"Oh——"
The little girl dragged the tone, squinting at Chen Ye,
"Or, Master is worried that if Qing Jun becomes powerful, she’ll abandon Master? Psh, Qing Jun isn’t like certain Master, who keeps thinking of selling the disciple... Qing Jun won’t slack off!"
Chen Ye was angry,
He never intended to sell his disciple.
Even when facing the Xu Family, he doesn’t plan to go against Qing Jun’s wishes, forcibly sending her back.
Chen Ye picked up Qing Jun in a scoop, lifting her into the air with a "ya" in surprise.
"Master! Put me down! Or when Qing Jun grows up, Master will see!"
The little girl flailed within his grasp, glaring at him angrily.
Must teach a harsh lesson!
This disciple thinks about revenge all day.
But indeed, she will truly become an ultimate powerhouse in the future...
If not taught well now, there won’t be a chance later!
Chen Ye, amused and annoyed, didn’t lessen his strength, instead, he purposely lifted her higher, ready to throw her:
"When you grow up, what will you show Master?"
"Ugh..."
The little girl immediately gave in, clutching Chen Ye’s arm tightly, afraid she’d really be thrown away.
