41: breakthrough

Spirit Vein Blessed Land, somewhere in the "Kun" building's training room.

Zhou Luo, covered in spiritual light, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

His gaze was like a torch, his star-like eyes glimmering with faint spiritual light, and the Spiritual Qi throughout his body gradually subsided after a surging period.

"Finally, a Breakthrough." He muttered to himself.

After more than three months of diligent cultivation, plus assistance from various aspects, he had finally stepped into the Great Perfection of Qi Training, only one step away from the next Realm.

Cultivation time over, Zhou Luo walked out of the training room and returned to Zhou Garden.

As soon as he returned, he saw little Zhou Changan waving a wooden sword wantonly.

He was already a year and a half old now, just at an active age.

This little guy seemed to be born with a love for this wooden sword, unlike his other siblings who were still immersed in the joy of toys.

"Changan." Zhou Luo called his name with a smile.

Little Zhou Changan turned his head, saw his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and his little face was full of joy. He ran over and shouted while running: "Daddy, you're back!"

When he rushed to the front, Zhou Luo picked him up: "When Daddy wasn't home, were you being a good boy?"

"Of course, Daddy, you're finally back. I want to fly." Little Zhou Changan blinked his big, dark eyes and said.

"Alright, wait a moment." Zhou Luo carried him into the courtyard.

Little Zhou Changan didn't forget to take out the small wooden sword: "This time I want to stand on this."

Hearing this, Zhou Luo smiled faintly.

This little one actually wanted to fly on a sword. Not bad, not bad, ambitious.

He gently stroked little Zhou Changan's head and came to the main building.

At the entrance, the three sisters of Lin Feiying, who were accompanying the other children, were chatting.

When they saw Zhou Luo appear, they all stood up, showing happy expressions.

"Daddy... Daddy..."

The other little ones kept running forward, wanting Zhou Luo to hold them.

Zhou Luo squatted down, put little Zhou Changan on the ground, and chuckled: "Daddy doesn't have three heads and six arms to hold you all, oh."

Though he said that, he still gathered the little ones into his arms, touching their little heads one by one.

Lin Yiyi walked over holding the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, her brows and eyes smiling: "Husband, you're finally back."

"Mhm, did anything happen in Zhou Garden?" Zhou Luo asked.

"No, it's just that sister Qinghan is about to give birth." Lin Feiying added from the side.

"I know, you guys take them to play first, I'll go take a look." Zhou Luo stood up and said.

At this time, Zhou Changan grabbed his pants, looked up expectantly: "Daddy, remember to take me flying, oh."

"Alright, wait until I go see your mother first." Zhou Luo smiled indulgently.

Arriving at Lin Qinghan's room on the second floor, he pushed the door open and saw Lin Qinghan sitting by the bed, her right hand touching her belly, while her left hand was reading an ancient book.

When Zhou Luo appeared, she suddenly turned her head, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she got up intending to walk over.

Zhou Luo quickly walked to her, helped her sit at the table, and asked: "Are you about to give birth?"

"Mhm."

Lin Qinghan leaned her head against Zhou Luo's body and responded.

After not seeing each other for a few months, the two naturally couldn't avoid exchanging greetings and showing concern.

"Has anything happened in the Family during this time?"

During the conversation, Zhou Luo couldn't help but ask.

As Lin De's only daughter, Lin Qinghan knew far more about the Family's affairs than those three sisters, especially some major events.

Lin Qinghan then informed Zhou Luo about what happened at the Spirit Mine.

When she mentioned that the Family sent a Formation Master to other Spirit Mines, Zhou Luo subconsciously thought of the Grand Elder.

He remembered that the Grand Elder seemed to be the person in charge of the Family's Formation Master path.

And the entire Lin Family's pride was their mastery of Formations.

He keenly sensed that behind this Spirit Mine incident, it might be related to the Family's faction struggles.

Of course, these were not things he needed to worry about.

From the current point of view, the Grand Elder did not lie to him back then; the Main Family indeed did not continue to pressure him.

The only thing that made Zhou Luo sigh was that the first batch of Matrilocal Son-in-laws had actually all been eliminated.

Come to think of it, they were all "tricked" into the Lin Family.

Unlike the Matrilocal Son-in-laws recruited later by the Family, so even if they were treated unfairly, the outside world had no way of knowing, and it would not affect the Lin Family's reputation.

This is the naked reality.

Speaking of this, Lin Qinghan suddenly said: "There is one more small matter, that friend of yours, Xu Changsheng, seems to have been taken a fancy to by a Family Formation Master and taken as an apprentice."

These were told to her by her father, Lin De, and she thought it was also because he wanted her to inform Zhou Luo of this matter.

After all, the Family elders were well aware of his relationship with Xu Changsheng.

Zhou Luo was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect him to have Formation talent. Although he lost an arm, if he could perform well in Formations, he might not be unable to regrow his arm and return to normal in the future.

It's just that he didn't know when he would be able to return home.

Next, after chatting for a while, Zhou Luo left.

Arriving outside, the little ones were still playing happily.

Zhou Luo quietly left Zhou Garden, intending to go buy some more Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Since the Body Refining that lasted over a month last time, his Physical Body was not far from the first stage.

Just in time to take advantage of this Breakthrough, complete this matter in one go.

Arriving at the east gate of the Family, the guarding Cultivators did not stop him after learning his identity.

Since that day, not only had his position in the Spirit Vein Blessed Land moved forward, but he could even enter and leave the Lin Family at will without reporting.

Only if he wanted to leave Maple Leaf City, he would still need the Family's consent.

This saved Zhou Luo a lot of trouble.

The streets of Maple Leaf City were still bustling.

As long as the Lin Family does not fall, this magnificent giant city will always be like this.

On the bustling streets, people came and went, most of them were ordinary people, and there were also some Loose Cultivators.

Zhou Luo first went to the old place to buy a batch of medicinal materials, and then walked towards the market to buy the things he needed.

The Heaven And Earth Treasure for the first stage were still easy to find.

If it reached the second stage, the things needed would be more scarce, and the money spent would be more.

After a round, it was nearing noon.

Zhou Luo simply walked towards the Tianxia Tavern.

That's right, like in Rock City, there was also a Tianxia Tavern here.

When the waiter saw that Zhou Luo was a Qi Training cultivator, he politely took him to the fourth floor.

Those who could come to this floor to eat were at least existences with Spiritual Roots.

On this point, the Tianxia Tavern had a special Spirit Treasure that could be used to sense whether others had Spiritual Roots.

As for the fifth floor above, that belonged only to the Immortal Family or other forces and Immortal Sects.

Because Zhou Luo was not wearing the Lin Family's clothing, the waiter just regarded him as a Loose Cultivator.

He didn't mind.

Arriving at the fourth floor, the dining places here were separated individually, which could ensure the privacy of the diners.

He casually picked a place, sat down, and ordered some spiritual food.

Looking at the Spirit Stones in the System backpack, Zhou Luo decided to go sell the High Grade Medicinal Pill he had privately refined in the afternoon.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he must avoid the Family's eyes and ears.

Although he could now enter and leave the Family at will, the Family would definitely send people to track him in secret to prevent him from betraying the Family.

This is common sense.

It's just that he didn't know whether the person tracking him was from the Grand Elder's faction or the Clan Chief's faction.

Bang—

Just as he was pondering, a muffled sound suddenly came from next door, followed by a woman's scream.

Zhou Luo frowned.
