361: I wish I could serve you with my body

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to have a destination again, and the vortex swirling in the Void Realm began to drill into the quiet room.

Xu Sanyan closed his eyes again, concentrating on absorbing this Spiritual Qi.

As the great dam on his Qi Sea collapsed, his Sea of Consciousness also changed, and his Divine Soul began to expand like a balloon, filling the entire Sea of Consciousness.

And as his Physical Body could bear greater pressure, his Sea of Consciousness also expanded to accommodate more Soul Power.

The so-called 'one prospers, all prosper; one grows, all grow,' the improvement of cultivation was not only reflected in his Magic Power but also brought changes to all aspects of his body.

His Soul Power was calcined by the Nether Phoenix Fire, and Impurities were removed, so Xu Sanyan's Soul Power was purer than others, and the power of his Divine Soul spells was also greater.

But unfortunately, he currently only had the Lu Family Refining Spirit Strength, which was a pure Divine Soul spell, making his methods somewhat singular.

Xu Sanyan's mind was focused inward, unaware of the passage of time, fully immersed in his Breakthrough. Outside, the sky turned from white to black, and from black to white again, repeating for three days before he opened his eyes.

The Spiritual Qi vortex gathered in the Void Realm had already subsided, with most of it dissipating and a small portion being refined by him into his own Magic Power.

Xu Sanyan was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he opened his Storage Pouch and began to examine the remaining Soul Crystals in his hand.

This Breakthrough consumed a total of five Soul Crystals, all of which were incomplete Soul Crystals obtained previously in the Hundred Saints Secret Realm.

Of the ten Soul Crystals Zuoqiu Zhen gave him, eight remained.

These eight were definitely not enough to support his Breakthrough to Soul Refinement Completion; he still needed to find more Soul Crystals.

However, he still had a lot of Spirit Stones, but they were not very useful to him, because he did not need Spirit Stones to refine Magic Power for his Breakthrough. The system panel would provide him with abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so he saved a large portion of time compared to others.

Although as his cultivation improved, the role of the panel was not as important as it was initially, it was still the most crucial aid on his cultivation path, even more important than secret realm fruit.

Looking at other miscellaneous items, Xu Sanyan organized them slightly, taking out the tan milk separately, which he would consume later.

There was also the Jade Slip recording his Heavenly Dao insights. This item was also very important and would only show its use when he achieved the Dao Integration.

As for some other miscellaneous items, such as the Eight Directions Soul-Locking Great Array and various unsuitable Magic Treasures, they were now useless to him. The next time he went to the Secret Realm world, he would leave those Magic Treasures for them.

Also, the Magic Treasure that Wang Zixuan was commissioned to customize last time should be ready in a little over two months. And the soul-urging incense ordered from the Chang family shop last time was also nearing its delivery date.

He actually did not rely much on these external things; Xu Sanyan had always cultivated himself from beginning to end.

His Physical Body strength and Divine Soul were his most fundamental reliance.

"Oh..."

Xu Sanyan strangely found an undershirt in a corner. After a brief thought, he remembered the origin of this item.

"Sniff..."

He brought it close to his nose and took a deep breath. The maiden's fragrance had faded a lot. Xu Sanyan felt a slight pity. What was the point of keeping it if it had no smell?

Thinking this, he tossed it aside with a backhand, composed himself, and got up to leave the quiet room.

Creak—

The door opened. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Xu Sanyan let out a long breath, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

"It's over..."

At this moment, Spring Plum, Xia Zhu, and several maids came together, asking thoughtfully, "Does Master need a bath and change of clothes?"

"Good."

Xu Sanyan nodded and then asked, "Has anything happened these past few days?"

Spring Plum looked at Xia Zhu and said softly, "Replying to Master, Third Madam came once, Great Madam, Second Madam, and Fourth Madam all sent people to inquire. Great Madam also invited you to visit for a small chat, saying that Young Miss misses you very much."

Young Miss was Wang Mingxin.

"Hmm."

Xu Sanyan noted it down, then looked up at Spring Plum and instructed, "The Chang family's incense shop has the soul-urging incense I ordered. Please help me pick it up these next few days."

"Yes."

Soon, the hot water was ready, and a large wooden tub was carried into the room. Xu Sanyan did not need to move himself; someone would help him change.

Spring Plum stood obediently to the side, holding clothes, ready to serve at any time. Xu Sanyan waved his hand, "Come, let's wash together."

..."Yes."

A moment later, lewd sounds echoed in the room, with splashes of water mixing with continuous 'pa pa' sounds like firecrackers.

The sounds only subsided when the water cooled. Not long after, the sounds came from the direction of the bed again.

...

The next morning,

Wang Ying and Wang Yu, the brothers, first came to visit. As soon as they entered the door, they laughed loudly and congratulated him,

"Hahaha, congratulations, Brother Lin, on your further progress in cultivation. Achieving the Great Dao is just around the corner!"

Xu Sanyan smiled, "Just a stroke of luck, nothing worth mentioning."

He knew the two represented Great Madam. Great Madam found it inconvenient to frequently contact Xu Sanyan, so she sent the two to congratulate him.

Wang Ying enthusiastically stepped forward and took his hand, looking extremely close. To outsiders, it would seem their relationship was very good.

Xu Sanyan's expression paused. Feeling the warmth in his hand, he felt a bit uncomfortable. He was truly unaccustomed to holding hands with men; it looked like same-sex affection.

However, this scene appeared perfectly normal to others. Such was the custom in this world; there was nothing wrong with men holding hands.

Wang Ying, with a beaming face, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lin, you don't know this, but since our last farewell, Young Miss has been thinking of you. My brother and I are here today, not only to congratulate Brother Lin on his great progress in the Dao, but also with Great Madam's instructions."

"Oh?"

Xu Sanyan's face showed a flattered expression, as if he was surprised by Great Madam's special regard, but in his heart, he didn't care. Ultimately, it was because she valued his high cultivation.

Great Madam also wanted to invest.

The Wang family's investment in him was the Wang family's business; Great Madam's side was another situation entirely.

"When you have time, Brother Lin, please personally visit Great Madam for a small chat."

"Certainly, certainly." Xu Sanyan repeatedly assured her.

Wang Ying took something from his embrace and handed it to him, "This is Great Madam's congratulatory gift, Brother Lin, please accept it."

"This... isn't this inappropriate?"

Xu Sanyan looked at the Storage Pouch. Mainly, he didn't know what was inside. If it was a worthless item, he would have given a favor for nothing.

Although Xu Sanyan's favors had little value, because he never intended to repay such things.

Seeing his hesitation, Wang Ying smiled and said, "Great Madam deeply understands the difficulty of the Soul Refinement Realm, so she specially brought a few Soul Crystals as a gift, wishing Brother Lin an early achievement of Dao Integration."

"Oh, how could I be so rude!"

Xu Sanyan immediately took it. He glanced inside and saw five Soul Crystals neatly lying in the Storage Pouch.

This was exactly what he urgently needed. Great Madam's action deeply pleased him.

Xu Sanyan, full of joy, cupped his hands and said, "Please convey my thanks to Great Madam."

Recalling Great Madam's graceful figure in his mind, he wished he could serve her personally to repay her kindness.

Xu Sanyan secretly decided that when he had the chance in the future, he would definitely repay Great Madam's great favor!
