Chapter 38: Flirting with Girls Can Also Make a Breakthrough

Since their boat ride on Wangyue Lake, the relationship between Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan has become less formal and more intimate, with a hint of ambiguity.

Therefore, as the Clan Leader, Xu Qingzhou had many things to consider each day, such as what to eat and what to do with Su Xinyan.

As for Xu Luo and Xu Muge, the Heavenly Chosen, they only needed to focus on cultivating diligently every day.

For example, although Xu Muge had good talent, Su Xin kept his schedule packed every day.

He spent the mornings studying Cultivation Techniques and practicing martial arts, the afternoons sparring with Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters who were a major Realm higher than him, and the evenings meditating and cultivating.

Day after day, while his overall strength improved rapidly, it was indeed quite monotonous and boring.

Whenever he felt bored, he would think of the Xu Family.

“No! I must Cultivate diligently! Only with sufficient strength can I protect the Xu Family, share the burden with Uncle, and prevent him from being so tired.”

And then there was Xu Luo. After returning from Lingyue City, he rested for one night before leaving with the ancient exotic beast egg.

Because he needed to hatch this egg, he was worried about causing a commotion in Yuhe City and attracting unnecessary trouble, so he stayed far away from home and found a secluded place to hatch the egg.

Now, the demon beast egg had hatched, and the exotic beast inside followed him around like a shadow.

From a distance, this exotic beast looked like a chubby, fluffy, grey big dog, but upon closer inspection, it resembled a lion more, except it had two horns on its head.

Only Xu Luo knew that this exotic beast was called Sun猊 (Suan Ni), a fearsome exotic beast from the ancient era, possessing earth-shattering power upon reaching adulthood.

However, demon beasts naturally have long lifespans and long growth periods.

In his previous life, it wasn't this Sun猊 (Suan Ni) that helped the Ninth Prince seize the throne after it grew up.

Instead, outside the Great Qi Dynasty, there was a powerful Demon Clan, who were descendants of the Sun猊 (Suan Ni).

Because the Ninth Prince possessed this Sun猊 (Suan Ni), he gained their support. With their help, he successfully seized the throne and eventually ascended as emperor.

Xu Luo was very clear about this.

Xu Luo named it Little Grey. To nurture Little Grey, he took it into the desolate mountain range infested with demon beasts, hunting demon beasts every day.

His cultivation improved rapidly through battle, and the demon beast corpses allowed Little Grey to grow faster by eating them. They were good partners growing together.

At this moment, the setting sun cast long shadows. Xu Luo's tattered clothes were stained with blood, but it was all from demon beasts; he was not injured.

“Little Grey, let's kill three more demon beasts before dark! The Azure Dragon Secret Realm is about to open, and we must have enough strength to obtain the treasures within the Secret Realm.”

“Kill!”

Xu Luo charged towards a powerful demon beast in the distance with Little Grey.

…..

Night fell, and the moon was bright while the stars were sparse.

Xu Qingzhou placed a swing by the pond. The swing's seat was not large, just enough for two people.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan were sitting on the swing. They were very close, and Xu Qingzhou could smell the fragrance from Su Xinyan.

The moonlight shone upon them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

“I remember the first time I went fishing at Wangyue Lake, I caught a big fish, at least this long,”

Xu Qingzhou said, stretching his hands out to the sides to gesture. After gesturing with his right hand, he naturally placed it on Su Xinyan's shoulder.

With a gentle embrace, Su Xinyan leaned in. They were even closer, and Xu Qingzhou could clearly see her eyelashes fluttering due to her nervousness.

Su Xinyan, who was like a blank slate when it came to relationships, was no match for Xu Qingzhou at all.

Su Xinyan didn't speak, her face just turned red.

The swing swayed back and forth under the moonlight. Su Xinyan leaned on Xu Qingzhou's shoulder, her face serene, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Just then.

“Boom!”

A dazzling light burst forth from around Xu Qingzhou, particularly noticeable in the darkness. At the same time, his Aura surged dramatically; he had actually broken through to the Late Stage of the Xuan Dan Realm.

Breaking through while flirting with a girl, not many people could do that besides Xu Qingzhou.

Su Xinyan was a little startled. “How did you suddenly break through?”

She had seen Breakthroughs through cultivation, through enlightenment, through taking pills, and through life-and-death situations, but she had never seen one while swinging on a swing.

“Breakthroughs are naturally occurring. When the accumulation is sufficient, you naturally break through. This is all the result of my usual diligent cultivation,” Xu Qingzhou said with a calm expression.

“I see,” Su Xinyan believed his words.

The System would return double the amount of cultivation that the Heavenly Chosen, Xu Luo and Xu Muge, gained to Xu Qingzhou.

Previously, Xu Qingzhou's cultivation was one thousand. When they were in the Qi Refining Realm, their cultivation increased by one or two points, and the feedback was negligible.

Later, when they were in the Qi Gathering Realm, it increased by ten or twenty points.

Now that they were in the Naling Realm, their cultivation increased by one or two hundred points, and the feedback to Xu Qingzhou was quite significant.

In addition, Xu Qingzhou occasionally took some pills that increased cultivation.

When his cultivation reached a critical point, any one of Xu Luo or Xu Muge breaking through and feeding back some cultivation to Xu Qingzhou would cause him to directly break through.

Su Xinyan stood up and said, “You just broke through, you should quickly go consolidate your Realm. I should also go back and rest.”

“Okay.”

Xu Qingzhou did not linger on this moment of tenderness; after all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After they each returned, Xu Qingzhou also began to consolidate his Realm. He couldn't even remember the last time he meditated and circulated his Cultivation Technique.

Although he sometimes practiced martial arts, the last time he had done something like meditating and cultivating was probably before he became the Clan Leader.

After becoming the Clan Leader and getting the System, he started to lie flat.

Thus, Xu Qingzhou came to a conclusion.

“This is the System's fault, not mine.”

Quenching Body, Gathering Qi, Drawing Spirit are the three basic Realms, divided into early, middle, and Late Stages.

Xuan Dan Realm, Purple Mansion, Divine Soul are the three middle Realms, divided into early, middle, and Late Stages, with a perfect stage as well.

Currently, Xu Qingzhou was in the Late Stage of the Xuan Dan Realm, but he was still a long way from Su Xinyan's early stage of the Divine Soul.

If Xu Qingzhou were to encounter an unknown early-stage Divine Soul expert, he would definitely have to respectfully address them as Senior.

The reason for such a large gap between them was the immense difference in their talent and the resources they had access to before.

Fortunately, it was not difficult for the current Xu Qingzhou to catch up to her.

He just needed Xu Luo and Xu Muge to work harder.
