Chapter 812: 812 - Something seems wrong
[Name: Sky Dragon Herb
Description: An extremely high-quality cultivation herb used to forge, strengthen, and refine a cultivator’s body and cultivation.
Grade: Eternal
Price: 30,000 G lust points]
Qingyi paused for a brief moment before confirming the purchase.
The points were deducted instantly, and the herb materialized in his palm, its golden leaves emanating a faint, shimmering spiritual glow.
Carefully, he laid it upon the small silk mat spread before him.
Beside it, four pills rested neatly in a row.
A Mind-Calming Pill, a Qi-Density Pill, a Mana Pill to calm the mana heart, and a Mana Pill to increase mana density.
Now that he could no longer raise his cultivation level through the system, he would inevitably come to depend a lot on Feiyan, Seraphine, Margareth, and Sapphire.
Fortunately, each of them was a true alchemical genius, having mastered the art of blending Qi alchemy and magical alchemy in their creations.
With a light sigh, he swallowed the four pills in succession before finally bringing the spirit herb to his mouth.
The different types of energy surged into him at once, spreading through his meridians, his Dantian, and his mana heart like rivers converging into a single sea.
Qingyi felt each one of them as he guided the Qi and mana through his body, weaving the flows into harmony.
Immediately, he felt the heat begin to rise.
His body grew hot as the energy of the sky dragon herb sank into his muscles and his Dantian.
The temperature climbed higher and higher, scorching heat rippling through every meridian until his skin felt as if it could melt steel.
He endured it, eyes firmly closed, breathing calmly. Each inhalation drew more essence into himself, while thin wisps of dark vapor escaped through his pores, carrying the impurities away.
At first, he had grown rather dependent on the system for his cultivation.
Because of that, when he first considered the possibility of losing the ability to advance through it, the thought of being unable to break free of such dependence had made him a little anxious.
This was normal. Many cultivators who leaned on external forces to cultivate ended up practically crippled the moment those forces were taken from them.
Qingyi, fortunately, was not one of them.
Within a few days, he had adapted to cultivating like everyone else, with the added advantage of virtually unlimited resources and, of course, monstrous talent.
For the rest of that night, he meditated, stabilizing his cultivation and preparing each meridian for his next breakthrough.
Of course, he hadn’t advanced yet, even though he was almost certain he was ready.
He was waiting for Feiyan to develop a new breakthrough pill, and besides, he couldn’t advance before entering the Secret Realm.
By early morning, Qingyi rose, feeling refreshed.
A surge of Qi coursed through his body, dispelling the sweat and impurities that had accumulated overnight, and he finally stepped out of his cultivation chamber.
To his surprise, his wives were already waiting for him on the other side.
Xue Hua and Rou’er looked a little downcast, while Yunxi was eagerly devouring a steaming bun, her cheeks puffed out like those of a satisfied little squirrel.
"What’s going on?" Qingyi asked, his eyebrows drawing together slightly as he noticed the strange atmosphere.
"Nothing much," Xue Hua shook her head, trying to hide her expression. "Father just insisted that I stay with Mother, and that, for now, only Rou’er go in with you."
She wouldn’t throw a tantrum over it, of course, even though she was unhappy.
From what she’d heard, the secret realm seemed to be facing some truly serious trouble, and because of that, the number of people allowed in at a time had been reduced.
She didn’t know much beyond that, nor did she bother asking too many questions.
It had been quite some time since she’d cared much about the sect’s affairs.
"It’s okay, you’ll still be able to enter in the second round. Don’t you want to stay in the world of the mind?" Qingyi asked, his voice soft as he ran his fingers through a strand of her hair.
"No," Xue Hua shook her head, leaning slightly into his touch. "I haven’t seen Mother in a long time, and I want to spend more time with her."
Qingyi didn’t press the issue. He simply leaned down, one hand sliding around her slender waist to pull her closer as their lips met in a kiss.
Yunxi, of course, had no problem at all entering Qingyi’s mind world. Before long, only he, Xue Hua, and Rou’er remained outside.
"Come on, Father is waiting for you. The secret realm must be about to open," Xue Hua said, composing herself. Qingyi nodded.
Together, the three of them left the Grand Elder’s palace, where he was already waiting outside alongside his wife, Feiyue.
"Very well, let’s hurry, little Rou’er and little Hua. I’ve heard a lot about this secret realm, but I’ve never seen it in action. I hope it isn’t disappointing, fufufu~" Feiyue gave a soft chuckle, pulling her daughter and Rou’er into a firm embrace, her hands gently stroking their hair with affection.
She didn’t give much thought to why the Cosmic Void Sect was restricting the secret realm in this way, since it truly wasn’t her problem.
As long as Xue Hua and Rou’er were safe, she didn’t care about the rest.
If Qingyi ever proved himself unworthy, she would also be willing to simply take Rou’er away from him and ensure the petite beauty’s safety on her own.
Long Tianjin would likely be very happy to learn that she was still alive.
Soon, the five of them took flight, cutting through the air above the sect at a dizzying speed until they reached the area where the second phase of the secret realm would open—a vast courtyard with a golden gate at its center, glowing with a dense, ancient light.
They landed before the gate, where several elders and the sect leader himself were already gathered.
Qingyi, naturally, took the lead, sending a voice transmission to Rou’er.
[Something seems wrong with the sect leader... As soon as we enter the secret realm, you must not let go of my hand under any circumstances. I’ll send you into the mind world and won’t bring you out until I’m sure everything is safe, okay?]
