Chu Tianyao sighed, "As expected... it's not that easy to improve one's cultivation level."
Just as Chu Tianyao was deep in thought, Su Yumin woke up.
She took a deep breath and suddenly felt as if her body was full of energy!
She hadn't experienced this kind of joy for many years.
Su Yumin muttered to herself, "As expected... women can't live without men..."
She walked to Chu Tianyao's side, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Chu Tianyao said with a smile, "Sister Su is awake?"
Su Yumin smiled brightly, "Not only is sister awake, sister also wants..."
As she spoke, she pulled Chu Tianyao toward the bed...
Chu Tianyao's heart tightened, and he said in a flustered manner, "Sister Su, you mustn't!"
......
On the outskirts of Kuhai Town, there is a secluded wooden house.
This wooden house looks ordinary, but it faintly exudes a spiritual power.
This is Qi Mengqiu's residence!
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged, holding the piece of jade he had taken from Chen Ping'an.
This piece of broken jade is emitting a faint glow...
These rays of light are slowly entering Qi Mengqiu's body.
After a long time, Qi Mengqiu completely absorbed all the light.
The broken jade became dull and lifeless.
"Hoo..." Qi Mengqiu slowly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
"As expected of the Pure Yang Holy Body, it has provided me with so much energy!"
"I have successfully advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining... At this rate, I will have a chance to enter the Foundation Establishment stage within fifty years!"
"Once I advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll have a chance to return to the sect!"
Thinking of the sect, Qi Mengqiu's eyes were filled with fervor and longing.
It took him a while to calm down.
"After teaching in a private school for ten years and absorbing the essence of countless children, I have only just managed to advance from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level."
"And Chen Ping'an alone is enough for me to advance from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level!"
"It's just a pity that there are too few promising talents like Chen Ping'an with special physiques in this Bitter Sea Town."
"Otherwise, I could break through to the next realm much faster... unlike now, where I can only slowly absorb the life force of those children."
Qi Mengqiu felt a little regretful, "I'm a bit hungry... let's go get a bowl of beef noodles."
Reaching the Qi Refining Realm means stepping into the threshold of becoming a cultivator.
However, those in the Qi Refining Realm still cannot abstain from grains and need to replenish their body's energy through food.
Bitter Sea Town
Inside the beef noodle shop
The innkeeper served Qi Mengqiu a bowl of beef noodles.
Qi Mengqiu thanked him. He had kept a good facade in the small town, always presenting a positive image.
"Shopkeeper, how's business lately?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I've been doing this for so many years, and business is just like this."
He thought for a moment and continued, “Mr. Qi, something strange has been happening lately... Chen Ping’an, that poor young man from Niu Ma Lane, came to my shop yesterday afternoon and ate three big bowls of beef noodles.”
"I wonder how Chen Ping'an suddenly became rich..."
"Hmm?" Qi Mengqiu's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this. "You mean Chen Ping'an, the guy who used to do odd jobs everywhere?"
"It's him! Who else in our town is named Chen Ping'an besides Chen Ping'an!"
A storm raged in Qi Mengqiu's heart!
"How is this possible? I drained Chen Ping'an of his life force! I saw him die with my own eyes, how could he still be alive?"
"What exactly happened? I need to go and find out..."
Qi Mengqiu quickly finished her beef noodles.
He placed a crystal on the table. "Shopkeeper, do you know where Chen Ping'an went afterward?"
The innkeeper thought for a moment, then continued, "Last night, I saw Chen Ping'an go to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant across the street and get some food and drinks..."
"Judging by the direction... they should be heading towards the Brocade Pavilion across the street!"
Qi Mengqiu nodded and walked out of the beef noodle shop.
He glanced in the direction of Jinxiu Pavilion. "Chen Ping'an, although I don't know why you came back to life... but I, Mr. Qi, am a man who sees things through to the end."
"I failed to kill you last time, but this time I will send you on your way."
......
When Chu Tianyao came out of the Brocade Pavilion, it was already afternoon.
It's hard to imagine how passionate Su Yumin is...
They didn't let him off the hook for the entire morning!
"Fortunately, I'm already at the ninth level of the Innate Realm..." Chu Tianyao walked out of the Brocade Pavilion, leaning against the wall. "If I were still at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, I might have been killed by them."
"I've been out having fun for two days... Shall we go back to Niuma Lane?"
Chu Tianyao thought of that drafty, shabby room and found it hard to accept.
"Forget it... I'll just stay at an inn. Or maybe I could stay at a brothel for a few days..."
"The most urgent task is to obtain the Dao Evolution Points as soon as possible."
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept over them.
"Huh?!" At this moment, Chu Tianyao almost took out the Wind Chaser Blade from his storage bag.
"What's going on? Why is there such a sense of oppression?!"
A gentle voice rang out, "Chen Ping'an, are you alright?"
Qi Mengqiu silently stood behind Chu Tianyao, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Chu Tianyao's forehead...
"Damn it! That voice is Qi Mengqiu... Did they find us so quickly?"
"Should I go all out? With my current cultivation level of the ninth level of the Innate Realm and the Six Forms of Wind Slash, can I fight Qi Mengqiu?"
"...No, the opponent is at the third level of Qi Refining! Even though the Qi Refining realm is the lowest level of cultivation, it's still considered stepping into the threshold of immortality!"
