Crack!
At the top of the pavilion.
When the Tower Guardian Bead’s red glow shone on him, Luo Qingzhou felt like a knife was slicing through his soul.
His condensed soul was quickly cut into pieces.
His body was covered in dense cracks.
Luo Qingzhou gritted his teeth and endured immense pain.
However, something was different today as compared to the previous nights. At this moment, his consciousness and vision were still in an absolutely clear state.
At the same time, the power in his body was quickly fusing with his body which was filled with cracks and was about to collapse.
It was as if it was resisting the red light.
His body split open and condensed.
It split open again and condensed again..
As his soul became weaker and weaker from the torture, and his entire body almost turned transparent, Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt a rumbling sound in the depths of his divine sense, like thunder!
Then, his entire soul began to be filled with Strength and quickly condensed and fused.
His vision suddenly lit up. It was as if he had broken through the night and could see the trees in the distant mountains clearly. He could even see the stars hiding in the clouds in the night sky.
His entire body trembled in comfort!
This mysterious state lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually disappearing.
The light in front of him slowly dissipated.
He lowered his head and looked at his body.
The cracks on his body had already disappeared.
His shattered body fused back unscathed.
It looked more solid than before.
Under the fluorescent light emitted by the mask, there was a faint milky white light that enveloped his entire body.
His entire temperament seemed to have been reborn. From the sinister aura in the past, he had become gentle like jade.
He looked up at the red Tower Guardian Bead in front of him.
The snow-white handkerchief was still floating in midair and did not fall to cover the Tower Guardian Bead. However, it had regained its calm and did not shoot out the terrifying red light again.
He had succeeded!
From the Night Travel stage, he had finally advanced to the Day Travel stage!
He was no longer a ghost who could only hide in the shadows of the night!
He could face the daylight!
Swoosh!
He flew up from the pavilion and floated up and down, left and right.
To his surprise, his speed was much faster, and his perception was much sharper. Everything in his surroundings was completely different from before.
The entire world seemed to have become much clearer.
He looked at the moon-white figure standing on the eaves. He still could not see through the moon-white light emitted by her body. He could only vaguely see the outline hidden inside.
He retracted his excited thoughts and floated back to the pavilion. He bowed respectfully and said, “Thank you, Senior. If not for your help, I don’t know when I would have been able to advance. If you have any orders in the future, feel free to instruct me. I will definitely do my best.”
The moon-white figure looked into the distance with an indifferent expression. After a moment, she slowly said, “Your conditions are good, to begin with. Moreover, I can tell that you have your own opportunities. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to get a breakthrough so quickly.”
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and mustered his courage. “Senior, I have a presumptuous request.”
The moon-white figure said indifferently, “Speak.”
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and bent down. He said firmly, “Senior, can you be my master?”
The moon-white figure seemed to be stunned when she heard this.
Then, she retracted her gaze and turned around to look at him silently.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and waited.
After a while.
The moon-white figure said indifferently, “No.”
Luo Qingzhou looked up and asked, “Senior, do you look down on me?”
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly through the halo of light. After a moment of silence, she said, “Yes. Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.
Fine.
He could not refute this reason.
“I’m sorry. I was presumptuous. Take it that I didn’t say anything.”
Luo Qingzhou could only give up and say respectfully, “Um, Senior, do you still want to hear the story from the beginning tonight?”
The moon-white figure looked at the distant night again. After a moment of silence, she said, “There’s no need for that tonight. We can rest for one night.”
Did she need to rest when she was just listening to the story?
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, “Then… I’ll take my leave?”
The white figure stood on the eaves and did not respond.
Luo Qingzhou could only wait quietly.
An hour later.
The moon-white figure turned around and stared at him for a moment before saying indifferently, “Although I won’t be your master, I’ve said it before. I never owe anyone a favor. If you tell me a story, I’ll teach you how to cultivate. Now that you’re already in the Day Travel stage, your soul is much stronger than ordinary people. You only need to cultivate a cultivation technique. At that time, you won’t need to be Out of Body to instill fear in others’ souls.”
Luo Qingzhou was taken aback. When he thought of what had happened during the day, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly said respectfully, “Senior, are you going to teach me a cultivation technique?”
The moon-white figure stared at his handsome but still calm face and said slowly, “It takes a powerful soul, a fearless aura, and a stern and righteous tone to instill fear in others’ souls. None of these can be lacking. Among them, the soul is naturally the most important.”
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly held his breath and listened attentively.
“The weak have a weak soul and weak aura. The weak have a guilty conscience. Their hearts are weak and their auras are weak. They don’t dare to look at others when they speak. Their voices are weak and their gazes keep flickering and moving about…
“On the other hand, a powerful soul has an imposing aura. His gaze is like a torch, and his voice is upright. Even if he speaks softly, it can make people listen attentively and not dare to underestimate him.”
“What I’m going to teach you today is a cultivation technique that can stun the soul with your eyes and intimidate the soul with your voice… You can cultivate your soul and your physical body…” Clouds drifted past.
The pavilion was thrown into darkness.
The silver moon in the night sky was faintly discernible in the clouds.
The night quietly passed.
At the top of the pavilion, two figures that were rarely seen by mortals stood facing each other without moving.
One of them spoke while the other listened.
One of them looked and the other lowered his head.
Time passed quickly. At dawn.
The voice stopped.
Luo Qingzhou stood rooted to the ground and frowned. He thought about it carefully for a while before cupping his hands and saying, “Senior, I can go back later tonight…”
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment. She looked at him and said, “You should go back early. Your wife is waiting at home.”
Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.
The air was silent for a moment.
Luo Qingzhou could only cup his hands and bid farewell. “In that case, Senior, see you tomorrow night.”
The moon-white figure turned around and looked into the distance without responding.
Luo Qingzhou floated up from the pavilion and flew across the roof and the streets like the wind. He felt refreshed.
Thinking of the cultivation technique just now, he soon returned to the Qin residence.
After floating back to his small courtyard, Luo Qingzhou went to Xiao Die’s room to take a look. The little girl was still sitting on the bed quietly embroidering flowers.
When Luo Qingzhou returned to his room, he did not return to his body immediately. Instead, he sat beside his physical body and began to cultivate the soul cultivation technique that the senior had taught him.
Not long after.
Footsteps sounded outside.
Xiao Die’s voice sounded from outside. “Young Master, are you done? It’s getting late. Hurry up and rest. You still have to wake up early to study tomorrow.”
Luo Qingzhou stood up and returned to his body. He opened his eyes and said,
“Come in.”
Xiao Die said awkwardly outside the door, “Young Master, I won’t sleep with you tonight. My… My time of the month has come. I want to sleep alone.”
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he got off the bed and opened the door. “Let’s sleep together. I’ll help you rub your stomach.”
Xiao Die blushed and turned to run into her room. She hurriedly closed the door and said, “Young Master, go to sleep. I’ll serve you in a few days.”
She was afraid that she would dirty Young Master.
It was said that if such “dirty” blood had rubbed off onto a man, it would bring bad luck to him.
She could not harm Young Master.
Luo Qingzhou shook his head helplessly and did not force her.
He closed the door and returned to bed.
After cultivating the soul cultivation technique for a while, he lay down and fell asleep.
Tomorrow, he would continue cultivating during the day.
Tomorrow night, he still had to accompany Second Young Miss and his mother-in-law to the poetry gathering. At the same time, he had to see the person that his mother-in-law had mentioned who was similar to Jia Baoyu.
The Second Young Miss…
He pushed the complicated thoughts away, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Soon, he fell asleep.
Outside the window.
The night grew darker and quieter.
SQUEAK.
The closed-door suddenly opened gently.
Then, a figure walked in silently.
She stood by the window and quietly stared at his sleeping handsome face for a long time. Then, she untied her belt, took off her dress and socks, got into bed, and crawled into the blanket. Like a cat, she leaned against his chest docilely.
After a while.
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach, rubbing it gently.
Her stomach still hurt.
Luo Qingzhou was sleeping soundly.
He seemed to have smelled a familiar fragrance in his dream.
It was as if he had a wet dream at night. In the dream, a girl’s figure appeared.
The night passed quietly.
The next day.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up, he was in a daze. He recalled his wet dream last night, but it was blurry and he could not remember anything.
He quickly lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He pushed open the window and called Xiao Die, who was outside, to fetch water.
By right, this should not be happening to him.
Could it be that because he had a breakthrough in refining his flesh in the day, and his soul had advanced at night, the flames in his body were vigorous and his energy was overflowing?
Xiao Die quickly fetched hot water to help him wash his face.
Luo Qingzhou said, “Go out first. I’ll wash up.”
“Huh?”
Xiao Die froze. Then she did not say anything else. She stole a glance at him and left with a red face.
After breakfast.
The master and servant went back to their work.
Luo Qingzhou went to the bottom of the lake.
He first practiced Thunder Fist for a while.
After warming up, he began to prepare for tendon refinement.
He carefully recalled the steps to refine his tendons in his mind and began to move.
The morning sun was bright and warm.
Qin Weimo entered the study and gently pushed open the window to look outside.
The fragrance of flowers assaulted her nose.
A plum blossom was stretched under the roof. The stamens on it were blooming with crystal clear dew, like a beauty holding tears.
Qin Weimo stood in front of the window and stared blankly for a while before sitting down at the table. Her hands picked up the ink block and ink stone. She was in a daze as she gently ground the ink block on the ink stone.
The fragrance of ink and flowers filled the air.
Sunlight shone in through the window.
The girl lowered her eyes. She was a gentle and quiet beauty..
