Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Now, Qin Yu gains more than three hundred Flame Points every day, which adds up to nearly ten thousand in a month.

He’s only a little over three thousand away from reaching twenty thousand.

Although Lin Qianqian and Zhao Mengli were a bit unaccustomed when his Pure Yang Divine Body had just advanced, after some time getting used to it...

They’ve already gotten used to it.

Aside from Flame Points, ever since he obtained the Life Rune, Qin Yu’s cultivation hasn’t fallen behind at all.

So while raising Flame Points, he’s also more or less always in a state of cultivation.

That’s why his cultivation is rising so fast!

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Mid-stage (4%)]

This actually made his two venerable masters quite relieved; they thought he’d truly mended his ways and devoted all his energy to cultivating.

Today.

Qin Yu left the Saintess Cave Mansion and headed to the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion.

Today, it was the Sect Leader’s turn to supervise him again.

The Sect Leader looked completely fine, but her internal injuries hadn’t healed, which would affect her strength in combat.

Although Liu Zixiao mentioned it to her that day, she hadn’t taken it to heart and has never brought it up again.

"Master."

After Qin Yu entered, he saluted Su Xihe, who was sitting in the courtyard.

"Mm."

The Sect Leader just glanced at him faintly, stood up elegantly, and slowly walked towards the Alchemy Room.

Qin Yu followed right behind, but his eyes lingered on his master in front of him.

Since she was in her own cave mansion, she wasn’t wearing that ornate ceremonial robe, just a fitted dress that hugged her curves; as she walked gracefully, her waist swayed gently, like willow branches fluttering in the wind.

The curve from her waist down outlined a perfect silhouette, both full and toned, making it impossible to look away.

No wonder she’s known as the first beauty—even her back beats out countless others.

Suddenly.

The Sect Leader stopped, turned around and looked at Qin Yu again, only to see this disciple standing upright, eyes straight ahead, not sneaking glances at all, leaving her with no excuse to scold him.

She couldn’t possibly say, "You’re not allowed to look at my..."

Those important parts, right?!

How could a master say that to her disciple?

How embarrassing would that be?

But if he were just looking at her back, she could pretend not to notice—after all, she’d chosen him as a disciple herself.

But this brat always pushes his luck, and the more she ignores it, the bolder he becomes.

He actually dares to keep staring at her...

Unbelievable!

Maybe thinking that Qin Yu is about to marry her little sister, Su Xiyue, the Sect Leader finally decided he needs a lesson to remember.

If not, if her sister were to see this in the future...that’d be hard to explain.

"Hmph!"

The Sect Leader snorted coldly, like ice cracking in spring. Instantly, an unstoppable, overwhelming pressure surged out from her, rolling forth like a stormy sea, crashing down on Qin Yu who was standing there.

The next moment, she was stunned.

Though she never intended to harm Qin Yu, that kind of presence isn’t something a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator could easily withstand.

Yet Qin Yu stood there like a boulder in a river, indifferent to the raging waves—utterly unmoved, not affected in the slightest.

The Sect Leader’s eyes flickered. With a thought, her might increased, pressing in, approaching Golden Core Realm.

This time, Qin Yu finally felt the weight like Mount Tai, his body trembling, unable to stand steady, drenched in sweat.

"Remember, don’t let there be a next time!"

After warning him, that suffocating pressure receded like the tide. The Sect Leader pushed open the door and entered the Alchemy Room.

So strong!

Qin Yu still felt a lingering fear.

Sure enough, even the Divine Body Second Layer still can’t withstand Golden Core—looks like he needs to keep pushing his limits.

After all, this master isn’t just any ordinary Golden Core Cultivator!

Qin Yu estimated in his heart.

At his current rate of advancement, it’d only take about seven more months to break through to Divine Body Third Layer.

That’s really not long at all.

Back when he lived in the Outer City, Qin Yu barely even left his house once every half a year.

Lots of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortal Sect close up for years at a time.

Once the master and disciple were in the Alchemy Room, not long after, the sound of crackling came from inside—a steady rhythm.

Of course it was Qin Yu refining pills!

Watching Qin Yu’s smooth, flowing Alchemy Technique, Su Xihe was filled with mixed feelings.

In just a few months, in terms of technique, her disciple Qin Yu had already caught up to her as the teacher.

In fact, she suspected that her own teachings might be too limited, restricting Qin Yu’s progress.

It was actually her, the master, who was capping her disciple’s ceiling.

How ridiculous!

But it was true.

If she didn’t think Qin Yu should focus on raising his cultivation now, she’d really want to teach him things like Array and Talisman techniques too.

Next was the medicated bath.

Because of Su Xihe’s utmost caution, nothing unexpected happened.

Once Qin Yu entered meditation, her own expression became complicated.

Of course she saw that Qin Yu was coming from her little sister’s cave mansion.

This past month, it’s already been the fourteenth time!

She truly didn’t understand why her sister suddenly decided to give the opportunity to Leng Ruyu.

During this period, Su Xihe also visited that little demoness a few times, under the pretext of checking on her health.

Even if that demoness tried to hide it, or used spiritual fluctuations to muddle things up, after several comparisons, she could still tell that Leng Ruyu’s root bone had also improved!

Which proves her judgment was right.

She could even further deduce that the opportunity must’ve been received by Qin Yu—otherwise, why would her sister actively seek him out?!

Besides, when treating Leng Ruyu, her sister was never present.

Honestly, although the Sect Leader never thought to take her sister’s opportunity, she still felt a twinge of bitterness inside.

Everyone else got opportunities, but her little sister and her disciple never once thought of her, their elder and master.

How heartbreaking is that?!

Also, every time she asked—be it her sister or her disciple—they’d just stammer and avoid answering.

Sigh, such worries.

If only she had a Dao Bone, she’d have a shot at breaking through to the Lotus Platform stage, and wouldn’t have to spend her days so anxious about the threat from the Hundred Sword Sect.

As for paying a price for it...

This brat wouldn’t dare bring that up to his master, would he?!

Could he really dare to make a move on her, his master?!

That would be betraying one’s master and destroying the sect’s legacy.

The whole world would spit on him for that.

She was still lost in thought when, without her noticing, the medicinal power was refined by Qin Yu, and the mist enshrouding him began to disperse.

Tsk.

Appearance-wise, Qin Yu really does look pretty good—at least she found a good match for her sister.

"Master, Master..."

Qin Yu called out twice before the Sect Leader came back to herself, subconsciously glancing at him.

And just that one glance, she didn’t know what she saw, but her pupils suddenly contracted and she immediately looked elsewhere.

What the hell’s wrong with this brat?!

How is he getting more and more...

Scary!
