But after learning about the Azure Dragon Society's plans from Chu Qinghe, even Lianxing had a vague sense that a storm was brewing.

As she spoke, Lianxing looked at Yaoyue as if she had just thought of something and said, "Right, if it were my brother-in-law, he should be able to see it more clearly! Come to think of it, it's already September, my brother-in-law should probably have gone back by now. After Master comes out of seclusion, why don't we go and ask him?"

As she spoke, Chu Qinghe's face appeared in Lianxing's mind, and her heart began to beat faster.

Hearing Lianxing's suggestion, Yaoyue glanced at Lianxing.

Sensing Yaoyue's gaze, Lianxing immediately sat up straight and lowered her head, feeling nervous.

Perhaps she was already used to it. Seeing Lianxing's nervous appearance, Yaoyue pondered for a few moments before slowly saying, "Let's wait until Master comes out of seclusion before we see!"

Hearing the voice, Lianxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, upon glancing at Yaoyue, who was looking down at the wooden carving, Lianxing sighed inwardly.

Some things you'll like at first sight.

Some people, once seen, will never be forgotten.

Lianxing didn't care about the former, but with the latter, she found herself gaining some insight.

Lianxing also understood that Chu Qinghe's current identity was her brother-in-law.

You shouldn't have too many thoughts.

That's just how people are.

What you can't have always seems more alluring.

The more Lianxing tried to avoid thinking about it, the clearer Chu Qinghe's image became in her mind.

Thinking deeply, Lianxing couldn't help but sigh softly.

When Lianxing looked at Yaoyue to the side, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

...

The 21st is an auspicious day for travel.

In the courtyard.

At this moment, Chu Qinghe was still lazily holding a wooden carving in one hand and resting the other hand behind his head, letting the sunlight bathe his entire body.

Occasionally, he would gently move his fingers, using his inner energy to make the hammock beneath him sway gently.

He seemed lazy and relaxed.

However, at the beginning of the Si hour, a wave burst forth from Chu Qinghe's body, and the gazes of Shuimu Yinji and Qu Feiyan, who were originally cultivating in the courtyard, all turned to Chu Qinghe.

A moment later, sensing the fluctuations of Grandmaster-level true energy emanating from Chu Qinghe, Qu...

Fei Yan said sourly, "Another breakthrough!"

Currently, both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao have elevated their physical attributes to an extremely high level.

Even under these circumstances, after returning home, the two girls only reached the late stage of the Innate Realm.

But Chu Qinghe was different; in just about half a month, he had already broken through to the current Grandmaster realm.

That speed is simply enviable.

After thinking for a moment, Qu Feiyan suddenly moved closer to Jellyfish Yin Ji and bumped her with her buttocks.

"Sister Situ, now that Young Master has reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, how would his strength compare to yours without using that secret technique?"

Hearing Qu Feiyan's question, Shuimu Yinji smiled and said, "When Qinghe was in the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, his strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary mid-stage Grandmaster. Now he has reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm. Even without using that secret technique, his strength should not be inferior to mine."

Although the three women, Shui Mu Yin Ji, Yao Yue, and Dongfang Bubai, had mastered several sword intents and corresponding Heaven-rank martial arts because of Chu Qinghe,

However, Chu Qinghe now possesses too much knowledge.

In terms of sword intent alone, Chu Qinghe had mastered five sword intents at this time: the Fine Rain Sword Intent, the Proud Snow Sword Intent, the Flying Immortal Sword Intent, the White Cloud Sword Intent, and the Annihilation Sword Intent.

Apart from the Nirvana Sword Intent, which he had just mastered half a month ago and had only just entered the minor completion stage, the other four sword intents had all reached the perfect level.

The sheer quantity of sword intent alone is enough to leave anyone speechless.

Once all five sword intents are activated simultaneously, the combined power is unimaginable.

With his superior Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and martial arts, coupled with Chu Qinghe's own "man and sword as one" swordsmanship, Chu Qinghe was already among the top swordsmen of the era.

With all these accumulated strengths, Chu Qinghe's cultivation level improved with each leap in power, resulting in a significantly greater increase in strength.

Therefore, even now, the strength of the three women, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, Yao Yue, and Dongfang Bubai, is enough to make them look down on other martial artists of the same level, but Chu Qinghe is not among them.

Just as Qu Feiyan showed envy, Chu Qinghe's internal energy gradually calmed down.

After sensing the changes in the true energy within his body, Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly.

Logically speaking, even after being purified twice, Yan Shisan's power should be enough to raise the cultivation of an ordinary Grandmaster to the Great Grandmaster realm.

However, Chu Qinghe himself cultivates the "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi," which has a very high quality of true qi. When absorbing and transforming this power to improve himself, he will consume even more energy.

In addition, due to Chu Qinghe's own inherent limitations, he inevitably wasted some of the power he absorbed.

This resulted in Chu Qinghe's cultivation level only increasing by two minor realms after half a month of completely absorbing the power within the wood carving, progressing from the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm to the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

But since he got it for free, Chu Qinghe didn't feel it was a big loss.

Being too greedy isn't a good thing.

Sometimes we should also know that contentment brings happiness.

Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe called out to Xiao Zhao.
