In the blink of an eye, two days had passed again.
During this time, Zhiwei was particularly diligent in her cultivation.
What does "particularly diligent" mean?
Zhiwei was already a hardworking child, but in recent days, she had been so focused on cultivation that she was almost forgetting to eat and sleep, closing herself off day and night.
Her cultivation was also rising rapidly!
In fact, the speed of Zhiwei’s cultivation advancement exceeded even Chen Ye’s expectations.
"Strange, although Zhiwei has the Purity Glaze Body, her progress is too fast now... It looks like she’s close to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, far exceeding her original cultivation speed. At this rate, she could reach Foundation Establishment in one or two years."
The master was puzzled; could it be that Zhiwei’s Purity Glaze Body had awakened again?
Chen Ye remembered that Zhiwei already had the Water and Wood Dual Spiritual Roots; each new Spiritual Root would further enhance her cultivation speed.
Could it be that another Spiritual Root had awakened now?
Thinking of this.
He felt a shock in his heart, realizing that his earlier words had greatly impacted his apprentice.
But is this a good thing... or a bad thing?
For Chen Ye,
he would rather his apprentice have lesser aptitude than see her Purity Glaze Body awaken again.
He was half worried and half remorseful in his heart.
"If all Five Spiritual Roots awaken, Zhiwei’s nature will definitely be affected. I shouldn’t have shown off my achievements in front of Zhiwei. How is this different from guilt-based education? This girl is serious and stubborn, probably feeling that my matters with Sister Qingzhu were all sacrifices for her."
In these two days.
Mao Qingzhu was too embarrassed to see him, feeling guilty.
Worried about being discovered, she hadn’t come at all.
The two communicated only through the Jade Pendant.
With a thought, Chen Ye informed Mao Qingzhu about Zhiwei’s low spirits.
Only to hear Sister Qingzhu’s gentle sigh:
"It’s not your fault... you have always put in so much effort for Zhiwei, and what you said was the truth. Besides, Zhiwei doesn’t blame you; she’s just unwilling because she couldn’t protect her master."
Indeed...
In truth, neither the master nor the apprentice were at fault.
It was just because the apprentice cared too much about her master and didn’t want him to lose anything for her sake.
Even though he understood this logic,
seeing Zhiwei looking so haggard, Chen Ye felt a pain in his heart:
"As a master, I failed to consider my apprentice’s feelings, which is my failure."
"You..."
Mao Qingzhu was slightly stunned; in truth, Chen Ye had no reason to blame himself.
What did it have to do with him?
Any ordinary master might even be pleased—at least the apprentice was striving in cultivation, wasn’t she?
But contrary to that, Chen Ye,
placed more importance on his apprentice’s emotions and even blamed himself for it.
That’s right...
Brother Ye was indeed such a gentle person; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easily bullied by her...
"No wonder Qing Jun’s nature... is too lively. Hmph, it’s all because you, the master, spoil her!"
Mao Qingzhu’s pretty face blushed slightly; she softly snorted, but Chen Ye didn’t hear much blame, more of a coquettish tone,
"Once I have a moment, I’ll come and take care of Zhiwei for you. Ah, you really are a grown man."
"This..."
Chen Ye furrowed his brow slightly.
He knew in his heart that if Mao Qingzhu came, it would only make Zhiwei more depressed.
But even though he was somewhat of an expert with girls, he was still male, ultimately not good at understanding a girl’s mind.
So he pondered:
"Forget it, let’s focus on the priorities. These days, Sister Qingzhu, it’s better not to come, so as not to attract attention. But please help me think of a way to make the girl happy."
Upon hearing this, although Mao Qingzhu worried about Zhiwei, fearing she’d hurt emotionally.
Seeing Chen Ye’s opposition, she had no choice but to comply, smiling lightly:
"Okay, Brother Ye, don’t worry. I’ll think it over these few days..."
...
After briefly speaking with Mao Qingzhu,
Chen Ye put away the Jade Pendant and continued his alchemy practice.
The path of cultivation is long and arduous.
While considering his apprentice, Chen Ye also continued his relentless practice in alchemy.
In these two days, he had been preparing for refining the Purple Sun Pill.
The ingredients for the Purple Sun Pill are expensive, and Chen Ye had to be cautious, doing a lot of preparations before starting the alchemy.
After all,
the Hundred Herbs Furnace had just been repaired, returning it to its status as a Magical Treasure.
Only now did Chen Ye truly begin integrating the Pill Furnace, making it his own, he wasn’t yet adept at using it.
"Condensing Pill!"
Chen Ye’s fingertips changed, and the flames within the furnace suddenly calmed, becoming extremely gentle.
At the same time, his powerful Divine Sense compressed inward.
His fingertips changed again:
"Jade Pointing Hand!"
The Jade Pointing Hand was an alchemical technique he had mastered long ago, already Limit Broken.
Simultaneously, the nurtured Spiritual Fire gained an added sense of spirituality, condensing the pill, filling the air with a rich fragrance.
"Collect!"
Chen Ye barked in a low voice, retracting his hand seal.
The Hundred Herbs Furnace trembled at the sound, transforming into a green stream of light, swirling into his hand.
Several pills rolled from the furnace onto a jade plate.
There were seven pills in total.
Among them, two had an alluring, mellow fragrance.
"Middle Grade Purple Sun Pill! As expected of a Middle Grade Magical Treasure."
Chen Ye picked up one of them, a smile of delight on his face.
To be known.
Now even the Lower Grade Purple Sun Pill could significantly aid Chen Ye’s cultivation, let alone the Middle Grade Purple Sun Pill?
"A couple more rounds, and the Withered and Prosperous Light Sutra will be Limit Broken. Only, I recently just advanced to Foundation Establishment Second Layer, if the Withered and Prosperous Light Sutra Limit Breaks, it might directly push me to Foundation Establishment Third Layer."
Chen Ye felt a concern.
His cultivation was advancing too rapidly, worrying that it might leave hidden dangers.
Moreover,
Once the Withered and Prosperous Light Sutra Limit Breaks, it will lead to a qualitative change, significantly boosting the cultivation progress.
This opportunity was indeed rare.
The next qualitative change of the Withered and Prosperous Light Sutra wouldn’t happen until reaching the Tongxuan stage.
If it Limit Breaks at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, aiding him to break through the Foundation Establishment Middle Period, the benefits would be greatest.
