The night wind blows.
It was like a girl's hand, gently caressing the cheek and ruffling the long hair.
The moonlight falling into the lake was broken into tiny stars.
Like a sky full of stars.
At this moment, I don’t know whether the lake is the sky or the sky is the lake.
The light on Yue Yao's body had dissipated, revealing her delicate face and graceful figure.
She stood in the moonlight, quietly looking at the jade pendant in her hand.
The black hair and white skirt dance with the wind; the beautiful eyes and face compete with the night for beauty.
Luo Qingzhou stood nearby, watching quietly. Unconsciously, his mind once again recalled the scenes in which she burned her soul to protect herself.
The night is quiet.
There was only the sound of waves gently hitting the boat, like a dream song, lulling people into a dream as the boat sways.
Luo Qingzhou looked a little dazed.
After a long time.
Yue Yaofang raised her head and looked at him, with no other expression on her face: "Who gave you this jade pendant?"
Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and did not answer: "Sister Yue, can you tell where it came from? Is it very precious?"
Yue Yao looked down at the jade pendant in her hand again and said, "It should be just an ordinary magic weapon."
Then she looked up at him and said, "Can't you tell me?"
Luo Qingzhou showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Sorry, I can't tell anyone about this."
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay. I'll take the jade pendant back first. There seems to be something else inside. I'll return it to you after I've taken a closer look."
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he quickly said, "When I touched it for the first time, I also felt like there was something inside, like a very special energy..."
Yue Yao put away the jade pendant, looked at him and said, "You're not in a hurry to get it, are you?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "No hurry, Sister Yue, just go ahead and check it out."
Yue Yao said nothing more and prepared to leave.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly reached out and held her hand, and whispered: "Sister Yue, last time at the border, you... why did you sacrifice yourself like that..."
Yue Yao said calmly: "You too."
Luo Qingzhou said: "But, I am doing this for..."
"Me too."
Yue Yao's face remained calm.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her with complicated eyes: "Sister Yue, you..."
"Practice well."
Yue Yao broke free from his hand, and her figure suddenly flashed and disappeared.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the boat for a long time.
It's early morning.
After returning to the Qin Mansion, he was not sleepy and his eyes were fixed on the golden fruit in the storage ring.
The progress of spiritual cultivation has reached one hundred.
It’s better to break through the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm first before eating.
After eating this golden fruit, you may have to go into seclusion.
And I’m afraid this retreat will be very long.
It could even be months.
After all, he has reached the peak level of Grandmaster, so more energy needs to be refined and the time required for tempering will be longer.
After meeting Sister Yue tonight, he felt a lot more at ease.
At least, Sister Yue seemed to be fine.
There shouldn't be any problem with the Queen.
Just the second lady...
He looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly in the inner room, and his heart grew heavier.
Before going into seclusion, he needed to go to Qingyun Temple again to prepare all the medicinal herbs.
But according to Qiu'er, the effect of the medicine has begun to diminish.
Therefore, he must continue to practice hard.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will never give up!
The next day.
After saying something to Miss Qin Er, he quietly left the Qin Mansion and left Kyoto.
Since I want to break through, I naturally have to go to Lingxiao Sect.
A breakthrough in the spirit and soul might also bring about a thunder tribulation. Kyoto is now overcrowded, so naturally one cannot make a breakthrough there.
After learning from the last lesson, he did not send a message to his uncle in advance when he returned to Lingxiao Sect this time.
Fly all the way.
Soon, he arrived above Lingxiao Sect.
Then he silently passed through the mountain protection formation and landed on the sword peak.
At this moment, a familiar flute sound suddenly came from the cliff.
"Uncle? Or Master?"
He walked over silently and looked outside at the corner.
At this time, Linghu Qingzhu, who was standing on the cliff, immediately noticed him, turned his head and looked at him.
"Uncle Master..."
Luo Qingzhou glanced around again and asked, "Are you alone?"
Linghu Qingzhu's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Then I'll ask Su Yu to call your master?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he quickly said: "No, you can be alone. My soul is about to break through, and I need to use my uncle's cave. Uncle, help me protect the law."
Linghu Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then said, "The early to middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, right?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."
He suddenly thought of something.
really…
"It just so happens that I am about to break through."
Linghu Qingzhu said calmly.
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
In fact, since the last time he broke through to the peak Grandmaster realm here, his uncle’s soul progress had already reached one hundred.
The uncle must have known that he was busy, so he didn't contact him actively.
Luo Qingzhou was no longer reserved and said, "Then, let's go together."
The two entered the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, a new formation was set up.
After entering the training room, the two began to practice and prepare for the breakthrough.
Because there was a hot spring in the cave, it was very hot and steaming, and there was a lot of heat released during cultivation, so the two took off their clothes first.
Luo Qingzhou helped his uncle to break through the barrier first.
Because every time Master Uncle made a breakthrough, it was very easy, and apart from the loud noise in the cave, there were no unusual phenomena in the sky or earth outside.
His breakthrough, however, will take a relatively long time and will involve strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
There may even be thunderstorms.
Therefore, the uncle needs to break through first and then help him cover up.
"Uncle Master, are you ready?"
"Um… "
"Then... let's get started!"
A muffled groan suddenly sounded in the cave.
The two began to practice.
From morning to evening.
Before it got dark, Linghu Qingzhu had already made a breakthrough with ease.
The final sprint, with vast energy, broke through the barrier leading to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm with a "boom".
Suddenly, a strange and powerful energy appeared in Linghu Qingzhu's body, and her aura also suddenly changed.
It seems like it has been suppressed for a long time.
At the moment of her sudden breakthrough, a surge of energy suddenly burst out from her body.
She couldn't help but let out a loud cry.
The soul that broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm suddenly flew to the top of the clouds, receiving the baptism of the energy of heaven and earth.
Her body trembled and she fainted...
In just one day, or even less than a day, she had easily made a breakthrough.
Luo Qingzhou was very envious.
Take a short break.
After dark, he took out the bottle of inky black spiritual liquid and poured a few drops into his palm.
Then, he started his own challenge.
Waves of burning energy rose in his soul and rushed towards the pass along the meridians of his spirit.
Over and over again.
One night passed quickly.
Another day is passing.
The next day after dark.
Linghu Qingzhu woke up, came to his side, and looked at him silently.
"boom!"
Finally, around midnight, Luo Qingzhou also made a breakthrough.
From the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The breakthrough of the soul is obviously much simpler and faster than the breakthrough of the physical body.
But what’s strange is that this breakthrough of the soul did not cause any strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
At the same time, there seemed to be no thunder disaster coming.
He thought about it carefully and decided that it was probably because of his uncle again.
When his uncle-master was breaking through the barrier, he had already absorbed all of his auras that connected the strange phenomena between heaven and earth and the thunder tribulation.
Master Uncle has a special physique that can absorb almost anything he throws at him.
Including the breath of thunder tribulation.
This is better, as it doesn't attract other people's attention.
After the breakthrough, the soul became more solid than before, and there were more meridians and acupoints in the body, making it look like a real body.
No wonder it is said that when the soul is cultivated to a certain level, the physical body is no longer needed.
Because it can condense its own flesh.
"Uncle, how do you feel?"
Luo Qingzhou put away his skills and stood up refreshed.
Linghu Qingzhu did not answer, and said, "Take a bath."
Although it was his spirit that was breaking through, his body was still covered in sweat and stains.
Luo Qingzhou walked into the bath, lay on the jade, and soaked his whole body in the warm water.
The flower basket by the pool fell over, and the red petals fluttered and fell into the water.
The faint fragrance of flowers wafts into the air.
Luo Qingzhou smelled the fragrance of flowers, soaked in the hot spring, and closed his eyes comfortably.
A pair of delicate hands suddenly rested on his shoulders, rubbing them gently, soft and tender.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly grabbed one of them and pulled it gently.
“Plop!”
Water splashes and petals fly.
Luo Qingzhou held the person who fell into the water in his arms and asked, "Have you recovered?"
The person in his arms shook his head.
Luo Qingzhou could only say: "Oh."
Soon, he shuddered all over and slowly closed his eyes again.
The bathtub was filled with mist and was hazy.
All I could see was him lying alone in the rippling water of the pool, eyes closed, enjoying the beauty of the moment.
After dawn.
He flew up into the sky from the sword peak and left quietly.
Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, stood on the cliff, staring at his figure in a daze until he disappeared in the sea of clouds in the sky. Then he stood here alone for a long time before leaving silently.
Luo Qingzhou went to Qingyun Temple first, and soon returned to Qin Mansion with Zhu Yan's blood.
After having dinner with the family, he went to the palace.
In the palace study.
After the morning court session, Nangong Huoyue changed into a loose, long, bright red dress and sat at the table, reviewing memorials.
After Luo Qingzhou arrived, he held her tenderly for a while, gave her some instructions, and then went underground to start practicing.
Sit down below the Heart of the Spirit Mine.
He calmed down his emotions, took out the storage ring, and looked at the golden fruits growing on the small tree inside.
The golden fruits now look ripe.
The rich fruity aroma almost filled all the space in the storage ring.
Dabao, Erbao, Little Fire Fox, and Flying Snake were all drooling with greed.
Even the magical herbs in the medicine garden were gently opening and closing their petals and branches, as if they were intoxicated by the tempting fruity fragrance.
“Whoosh—”
At this moment, the little fire fox squatting under the tree with its head raised and drooling suddenly jumped up and pounced on the golden fruit on the branch.
Luo Qingzhou was suddenly startled.
But the little fire fox was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had pounced on the fruit and was about to swallow it in one gulp.
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly sank: It's over...
“Wow!”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the small tree.
The little fire fox hit the light shield with a "bang" and was bounced away, falling to the ground in a mess.
Dabao and Erbao, who were sitting under the tree, seemed to be used to it and did not react at all. They still tilted their heads, looking at the fruit on the branch, drooling silently.
They didn't seem to have any intention of jumping on it.
With their jumping ability, it would be easy for them to jump up and eat the fruit.
Obviously, they have suffered too.
The little green snake was also hiding under a magical herb, with its head tilted up and its scarlet tongue sticking out, and it had no intention of approaching the small tree.
The golden light shield of the small tree was obviously not the first time it appeared.
Luo Qingzhou was secretly sweating.
Fortunately, there is a golden light shield for protection.
He had never thought before that these little guys would covet this golden fruit. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't dare to take this fruit.
After all, he often came in to see this fruit, and it was obvious that he valued it very much.
Now it seems that he underestimated the temptation of this golden fruit.
He didn't dare hesitate any longer.
His spiritual consciousness immediately flew towards the small tree, and when approaching the golden light shield, he slowed down his hands and touched it gently.
"puff!"
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
With almost no obstacles, his consciousness easily broke through the light shield and rushed in.
Seeing this scene, Dabao, Erbao and Little Firefox below were drooling even more.
Luo Qingzhou immediately wrapped his consciousness around the golden fruit, pulled it gently, and with a "pop", he picked it up easily.
On the branches above.
The newly grown flower bud has begun to grow bigger.
That was the second fruit.
Without hesitation, he took out the ripe golden fruit from the storage ring.
As soon as it came out, an extremely tempting fruity fragrance hit my nose.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help swallowing, his mouth was full of saliva and his stomach suddenly started to growl.
This scent... is so alluring.
No wonder those little guys in the storage ring couldn’t help it.
"Kachcha!"
He didn't hesitate any longer and took a bite immediately. It was crispy like an apple.
But as soon as the fruit pulp entered his mouth, it suddenly turned into rich juice and flowed down his throat, sweet and refreshing, leaving a fragrant taste in his mouth!
"Kachcha! Kacha!"
He immediately couldn't help but start eating again.
In the very center of the fruit lies a golden core, which has some strange patterns on it.
He tried to bite it with his teeth, but it was as hard as iron and he couldn't bite it at all.
You know, his teeth have been repeatedly tempered, and they are the teeth of the peak grandmaster level.
However, not only could the fruit core not be bitten, it didn't even leave any mark on it.
"Is this fruit core also a treasure?"
Out of curiosity, he immediately took out a black wooden stick, put the fruit core on the ground, and then hit it with the stick.
"Bang!"
"Card!"
The wooden stick in his hand suddenly broke into two pieces...
