In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Dongfang Bubai said in a deep voice, "Even a mid-stage Grandmaster can put up a fight."
"Huh? Young Master's current strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Grandmaster?"
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's evaluation, Qu Feiyan's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Although Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both knew that Chu Qinghe's strength far exceeded his cultivation level.
Even after learning that Chu Qinghe's strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage Grandmaster, the women were still shocked.
Chu Qinghe, standing to the side, said lazily, "They only have the strength to fight, not necessarily the ability to win."
Chu Qinghe possesses extremely strong foundations, including two perfect-level sword intents, the third realm of swordsmanship—the unity of man and sword—and top-grade Heaven-rank martial arts, all of which have reached the highest level.
Almost every one of them is enough to make an ordinary martial artist a prodigy.
But the heavier the sword, the more effort it requires.
Just like Chu Qinghe, although his combat power is amazing, his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Innate Realm, and the total amount of true qi cannot be compared with that of a martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm.
If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, just like before, one's true energy will be almost depleted in less than a hundred breaths.
Xiao Zhao said earnestly, "Even so, young master is already very capable."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe raised a slight smile and reached out to pat Xiao Zhao's head beside him.
After withdrawing his hand from Xiao Zhao's head, Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai and slowly said, "When you leave tomorrow, remember to take a pot of grape wine with you, so you don't overdo your cultivation."
Given Dongfang Bubai's personality, after obtaining the upgraded version of the Sunflower Manual, he would likely study it extensively.
If left unattended for too long or if not carefully managed, it can inevitably have some impact on the meridians.
With this medicinal wine that nourishes the meridians, it can indeed be of some help.
Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "Alright!"
After the matter was settled and a brief exchange of sparring was conducted, Dongfang Bubai was no longer worried.
After all, compared to his strength, Chu Qinghe's most formidable ability was his poisoning methods, which were difficult to defend against.
With the two combined, even Dongfang Bubai wouldn't dare say he could get the better of Chu Qinghe, let alone the people of the Ming Cult.
It wasn't until three-quarters past midnight, when Xiao Zhao beside him was already yawning repeatedly, that Dongfang Bubai slowly got up and said, "It's late, go to sleep!"
Upon hearing what Dongfang Bubai said, Chu Qinghe pursed his lips slightly.
However, before Chu Qinghe could speak, Qu Feiyan yawned as well, and together with Xiao Zhao began to put the mahjong tiles into the box on the side.
Shuimu Yinji then tactfully said to Dongfang Bubai, "Then I'm going to sleep too, goodnight, elder sister."
After saying that, she smiled at Chu Qinghe and then returned to her room.
Before long, only Chu Qinghe remained in the courtyard.
Faced with this scene, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.
"Looks like I won't be sleeping well tonight."
Based on Chu Qinghe's understanding of Dongfang Bubai, it might be better if he stayed a few more days after returning from the Sun Moon Sect.
But if they only stay for a day and then leave, they won't give up easily unless they gather a lot of food.
This night's toil is probably unavoidable.
Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe shook his head and then slowly stood up.
On the other side, in the room where the jellyfish princess was.
Looking through the crack in the window at Chu Qinghe walking step by step toward the main house, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but sigh.
"I'll have to sleep alone tonight."
Feeling melancholy, Jellyfish Yin Ji lay on the bed with a depressed expression, tossing and turning, feeling somewhat sleepless and lonely.
Before long, as the fluctuations of Dongfang Bubai's true energy appeared, the image in Shuimu Yinji's mind involuntarily surfaced.
Now, Jellyfish Princess Yin found it even harder to fall asleep.
The next day, early morning.
After breakfast, Dongfang Bubai gestured to Chu Qinghe, then grabbed the wine jug and dashed off towards the north of the city.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Dongfang Bubai left, Shuimu Yinji, surrounded by several disciples of the Divine Water Palace, also left from the direction of the North Gate in a carriage.
After Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji left one after another, Chu Qinghe turned his head to look at Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, who seemed to be lost in thought, and said, "Go pack your things and head out too! If we stay any longer, we might miss the excitement at Bright Peak."
The Ming Cult was located roughly to the south of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not much different from the previous Hengshan School.
If I go out now, I can probably arrive the day before.
Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were both stunned by Chu Qinghe's words.
But after realizing what had happened, both women jumped up excitedly and started packing their things.
As the two women began to set off, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up as well.
However, the moment Chu Qinghe stood up, his leg involuntarily trembled.
Chu Qinghe couldn't help but grin at this.
"No, this body-refining martial art cannot be delayed."
After all, Chu Qinghe did not follow the path of external martial arts. Although his physique would improve somewhat after his cultivation level was raised, the wine he brewed made his physique much stronger than that of ordinary people.
But the problem couldn't withstand such tireless work through the night.
"Anyway, Zhu Wushi is short of Tianxiang cardamom. Why don't we use Tianxiang cardamom to exchange for a chance to go to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison?"
But after thinking about it for a while, Chu Qinghe suppressed the idea.
After all, Zhu Wushi has quite an appetite.
Once you get the first Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, you'll want the second one, and once you get the second one, you'll want even more.
At that time, Chu Qinghe would inevitably have to give Zhu Wushi the medicine.
"It seems we need to think of other solutions."
Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Every family has its own problems!"
