21: Chapter 21 Holding Your Breath and Concentrating

"Feeble and powerless?" Lin Mo pursed his lips, "Senior Sister, that kind of word shouldn't be used on a man."

Gu Qinghuan was anxious and completely paid no attention to Lin Mo's off-color remark. She channeled a wisp of Spiritual Qi into Lin Mo, only to find that Lin Mo's Dantian was completely empty...

"Ever since you escaped, you haven't regulated your breath at all?"

Lin Mo scratched his face. There had been too many things to handle at the Affairs Hall today, leaving him zero time. Kong Li's Qi was still suppressed beneath the Blazing Flame Sea.

"Indeed, I haven't."

Gu Qinghuan took out two cattail cushions from her storage ring and threw them onto the ground. "Regulate your breath first. I will act as your Protector, otherwise it won't be effective."

"Alright."

Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the cushion, preparing to regulate his breath, but his attention was distracted by the lingering fragrance around the tip of his nose.

"Senior Sister, are you also going to regulate your breath and enter meditation?" Lin Mo turned his head to ask.

Gu Qinghuan had already sat cross-legged, slightly tidying her white dress, and said with a straight back:

"You are only at the Qi Refining Realm, so regulating your breath is very slow. Since I have the chance to return to the Dao, I do not want to waste even a quarter of an hour."

"Senior Sister..."

"What is it?"

Lin Mo placed his hand near his lips and gave a light cough. "With you sitting this close to me, it's hard for me to concentrate."

Hearing this,

Gu Qinghuan's cold and gorgeous face froze for a moment, then she let out a light 'oh' and moved a bit further away.

Senior Sister's legs felt so long. Even though they were blocked by her skirt, one could vaguely sense the charm of those long legs.

Lin Mo gave himself a mental slap on the cheek, took a Qi-Guiding Pill, and began to regulate his breath.

Kong Li was at the fourth grade of Foundation Establishment, and his Qi was much richer than Wang Peilin's. As soon as it was stirred up, Lin Mo felt a scorching wave of Qi surging within his Dantian!

Gu Qinghuan, who was preparing to enter meditation nearby, turned her head in astonishment amidst her flying hair. She clearly sensed that the surrounding Spiritual Qi was crazily pouring back into Lin Mo!

The location chosen by the Hehuan Sect was inherently rich in Spiritual Qi, and coupled with the fact that Qingxue Pavilion was an external Immortal Cave, the Spiritual Qi was even denser.

But Lin Mo had just stepped into Qi Refining; wasn't the density of this mobilization a bit too exaggerated?

In less than a quarter of an hour, a dozen marble-sized beads of True Yang Essence had condensed within Lin Mo's Dantian.

That wasn't all. Lin Mo knew deeply that his current strength did not even count as an ant's, so he did not want to be lazy and prepared to absorb all of Kong Li's Qi in one go.

A sudden gale rose inside the pavilion, flapping Lin Mo's clothes loudly, and the surrounding temperature suddenly soared. Squinting closely, one could seemingly see waves of heat at the corners of the tables and chairs.

Another quarter of an hour later, the True Yang Essence floating above the Blazing Flame Sea increased from a dozen to thirty-two beads!

Lin Mo's actual Realm also promoted from the fourth grade of Qi Refining to the fifth grade of Qi Refining.

Awesome!!!

Lin Mo felt as if flesh was growing even in the gaps of his bones!

Just as he lowered his head to check his body, he suddenly felt his cheeks brushed by waves of heat. He turned his head in surprise and was instantly dumbfounded.

He saw that the cold and gorgeous Senior Sister had crawled over with her cushion at some point, a faint flush stained her snowy cheeks, and her eyes carried a hint of eager light.

The hair tied up by the exquisite Feiluan Immortal Crown was extremely smooth, and a few strands of dark hair at her temples fell beside her delicate lips.

For some reason, Lin Mo actually saw a hint of greed in the eyes of this Senior Sister Qingleng.

"Junior Brother Lin, have you had a Breakthrough?"

Lin Mo's neck felt ticklish from the heat waves exhaled from her mouth. "Yes, I accidentally had a Breakthrough."

Gu Qinghuan sat upright cross-legged, pinching her own chin, her eyes actually carrying a bit of appreciation. "As expected of the Undying Blazing Sun Sacred Body, the promotion speed is even faster than mine back then."

"Cough... Junior Brother, are you done regulating your breath?"

Lin Mo perceived Gu Qinghuan's eagerness. So Senior Sister had times when she was anxious too?

Seeing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes, completely suppressed the True Yang Essence inside his body, and then reached out his hand toward Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan generously grabbed it. "Still no reaction. Why is this?"

Just as Gu Qinghuan was deep in thought, Lin Mo forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth. "Senior Sister, have the Meridians of your limbs not already been repaired? Perhaps repairing other places requires more contact?"

Gu Qinghuan was also encountering an owner of the Undying Blazing Sun Sacred Body for the first time, and she was still in a blur as to why Lin Mo could repair her injuries at present.

Now hearing Lin Mo say this, she turned her head away. "What kind of bad thoughts are you plotting?"

Looking at Gu Qinghuan's appearance at this moment, Lin Mo was somewhat dazed.

Her white clothes surpassed snow, cold and aloof like the moon, her slender swan-like neck was slightly covered by the high-collared immortal dress, her dark hair was like a waterfall, and her brows and eyes were like a painting.

"Bad thoughts? What bad thoughts? Aren't we discussing how to better repair Senior Sister's injuries?"

Lin Mo asked while knowing the answer clearly.

Gu Qinghuan's slender distant-mountain brows slightly furrowed, her white teeth bit her red lips, and though she let out a cold snort, she still handed her other hand to him.

Lin Mo held it with a straight face, slightly releasing the restriction on the True Yang Essence.

"It works!"

Gu Qinghuan turned her head back, her brows unfurling.

But seeing that her hands were being held by Lin Mo just like that, her face, which had already begun to be stained by rosy clouds, accelerated the speed of spreading once again.

"Senior Sister, why is your face so red?"

"Because of the Yang Qi in your body, this is unavoidable. Please Junior Brother Lin, do not overthink."

Gu Qinghuan: Fortunately, this can be used as a cover, otherwise... how embarrassing it would be.

Lin Mo: Senior Sister, go ahead and cover it up, let's see how long you can keep it up. I really didn't expect Senior Sister could blush just from holding hands?

Senior Sister, your aloof and cold persona is collapsing a bit!

"Junior Brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Gu Qinghuan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, watching Lin Mo change from a holding posture to intertwining their fingers.

"Holding like this is too tiring, and this can also increase the range of contact. Senior Sister, take a look and see if you feel it more intensely?"

Gu Qinghuan indeed felt that the scorching Yang Qi being channeled over had become much denser.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing! Junior Brother Lin, please stop talking and focus!"

Lin Mo's mouth curved up. Senior Sister oh Senior Sister, you really want to play the contrast game.

Look at your current appearance. If others found out, even if beaten to death, they would think they were dreaming.

That's right, in the entire Hehuan Sect, only he, Lin Mo, could see this scenery.

It's just that Senior Sister Qingleng being like this is really hard to keep a straight face over.

Unconsciously, Lin Mo became mesmerized as he watched. The Blazing Flame Sea inside his body churned, and the Qi wandering through the Meridians grew crazily by multiples!

"Junior Brother, why has the Qi inside your body suddenly become so violent?!"
