83: Chapter 83 Be Yourself! Breakthrough in Cultivation

"Hum, oh, isn't this our great Daoist Ye? How thoughtful, you even gifted a ley line to someone."

As Ye Qingxuan just walked out of the back mountain, he ran into Senior Sister Qingling waiting for him at the intersection. Her sour tone and Yin and Yang sarcasm fully displayed the true colors of the 'Shangqing Demonic Maiden'.

Daoist Ye felt a bit dazed. How long had it been since he last heard such a tone from Qingling?

"Why are you standing there like a fool? Don't you want to eat roasted meat?" Looking at the dazed Ye Qingxuan, although Qingling felt sour in her heart, she had still prepared food for him.

"Meow, roasted meat! ? Roasted meat! ! Where is the roasted meat? Senior Sister Qingling, where is this meow's roasted meat?"

Even Ye Qingxuan hadn't noticed where Xiaojiu had run over from. Good grief, the spell to summon Xiaojiu was roasted meat.

"This little foodie is hopeless." Qingling looked down at the kitten drooling and felt only helpless.

Just as she was thinking, the view before her darkened as a figure blocked the sunlight. Looking up, it was precisely that big piece of wood, who had walked over at some unknown time.

"You... wuwu." Qingling's upcoming words were blocked back.

"Yi—" The kitten squatting on the ground looked at the two of them with a face full of disgust, then turned into a golden light and flew away. It was going to the kitchen to find food.

After a long time, the two separated. Ye Qingxuan gently stroked Qingling's face, "Senior Sister, are you jealous?"

"Hum, why not." Qingling asked back with a blushing face and righteous confidence.

"Yes, of course. However, you can save this vinegar to eat later." Ye Qingxuan took out the pouch given by the Expressionless Man.

"Hum hum, come to the small courtyard in a bit." Qingling humphed and turned to fly away.

Ye Qingxuan stood in place, watching Qingling's receding figure with amusement.

Then, with his Divine Sense locking onto the target, he directly threw the pouch, heading straight toward Number One. This was the convenience of a cultivator.

Ling Cage World——

A streak of white light appeared, revealing the figure of Bai Yuekui.

Lifting her gaze, a large group of people were waiting for her. The gossip in their eyes made her scalp tingle.

"Sis, awesome! That strength of yours when tearing apart the fox demon with your bare hands was amazing!" Bai Yuetian gave a thumbs-up.

"Boss, I think Daoist Ye seems to have noticed your feelings. He even gifted a ley line to you." Xiadou fanned the flames from the side.

"All of you, shut up!" An Aura erupted from Bai Yuekui, causing everyone to fall silent like cicadas in winter. This white-haired woman really beat people up.

"I'm going to release the ley line. Instead of wasting time, you all should Cultivate more." Bai Yuekui tossed the materials inside her ring to Bai Yuetian. "I'll leave the research on these materials to you."

The white-haired woman came to the back mountain of Longgu Village, which was the place where Ye Qingxuan had previously gone into seclusion, and took out the bead to crush it.

With a loud rumble of "Boom".

The ley line transformed into a dragon shadow and burrowed into the underground, after which the Spiritual Qi also began to surge wildly.

"Before the National Destiny Space opens, no one is allowed to disturb me." A voice came out from the back mountain.

She also had to go into seclusion to Cultivate. She needed to properly digest the rewards from the National Destiny Game and comprehend the flight technique so she wouldn't hold him back.

——Mount Mao

Ye Qingxuan arrived at the Shangqing Main Hall, and Master and the others were all waiting for him.

"Master, Senior Martial Uncle, Junior Martial Uncles." Ye Qingxuan stepped forward to salute. Before they could speak, he directly took out that share of the Origin.

"This is the Origin of that Small World. I don't have use for it, you guys can divide it amongst yourselves."

"Haha, I knew Qingxuan wouldn't need these. Junior Brother Yuandan, take it and refine a few more butian pills." Master Yuanxin took it and handed it directly to Yuandan.

"Sigh, I knew it, what a life of toil. Let Qingmo and Qingyun come over to help, otherwise there aren't enough people."

Yuandan directly pulled Yuanqing and Yuanxing away, completely ignoring the protest of that old urchin Yuanxing.

He didn't take Yuanhui along either, because Senior Martial Uncle Yuanhui didn't know how to do Alchemy; his talent was entirely maxed out on the Sword Dao. That new Disciple Disciple Suyue became his Disciple precisely because he was a Sword Cultivator.

If Yuanhui did Alchemy without blowing up the cauldron, it would already be considered a success. No matter how wealthy the Shangqing Sect was, it couldn't withstand constant cauldron explosions.

Qingming led the Disciples to the Monster Forest for trial. As for why Qingling wasn't called? Taoists also understood worldly wisdom and human relations.

"As for that girl Qingling, have you comforted her properly?"

Ye Qingxuan watched the departing Junior Martial Uncles, and before he could snap out of it, he saw his own Master leaning over with a gossip-filled face.

"My good Master, can you rein in that expression? Why do I feel like you're gloating a bit?"

"Haha, alright, alright, let's talk about serious business." Master Yuanxin put away his smile and said with a straight face.

"The rewards you obtained from these past few National Destiny Games exceeded our expectations. Nowadays, the number of people nationwide reaching the fifth layer of Qi Refining is estimated to exceed 30,000."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan silently spread his Divine Sense, covering the entire country, and counted: "There are as many as 36,000-plus. Therefore, the venue prepared for the Grand Ritual of Luotian..."

"Ahem, your Master said that the rules have already been issued, and we surely can't raise the threshold again. Therefore, if we want to expand the venue within half a month without losing standards, we can only rely on a Void Return Stage great expert like you."

Yuanhui quietly added from the side.

Master Yuanxin felt a bit awkward. He originally estimated that having 20,000 people would already be pretty good; who knew Ye Qingxuan would be so capable?

Now it was good—the established rules weren't easy to change, but he still had a trump card Magic Treasure—the Void Return Stage great expert Ye Qingxuan.

"You really are my dear Master." To have a Void Return Stage expert be ordered around like a coolie, Ye Qingxuan was probably the only one.

"What? Can't Master boss you around anymore?" Master Yuanxin's gaze was somewhat dangerous. So what if your cultivation is high? Even if you achieve Immortal Ascension, you're still my Disciple.

"No, Master, I'll go tomorrow."

Finishing his sentence, without waiting for Master Yuanxin to say anything, Ye Qingxuan turned and left. If he didn't leave now, he'd be nagged again. The Great Master brother truly lived up to being the opening Disciple; his nagging skill was learned from Master so vividly.

"This brat, though... not bad either." Master Yuanxin looked at the departing Disciple and chuckled helplessly.

"Qingxuan is becoming more and more humanly warm, just like when he was a child. This is a good thing." Yuanhui also smiled and let it pass.

In Qingling's small courtyard——

Qingling was grilling meat when she saw a streak of green light land, revealing Ye Qingxuan's figure.

Looking at the panic on Ye Qingxuan's face that hadn't been seen in many years, Qingling also revealed a look of nostalgia.

"Were you nagged by Master?"

"No, if I hadn't run fast, I'd still be getting nagged right now..."

Ye Qingxuan paused here. It had been a long time since he had felt this familiar yet unfamiliar emotion; he was increasingly resembling a person of the mountain now.

"You've only just noticed? Come quickly and eat. Finish eating and hurry off to work." Qingling looked at him with a grin.

"Hehe, so that's how it is. The Dao has always been in my heart, only that it was forgotten by myself in the past."

Ye Qingxuan's mood right now was unprecedentedly carefree and happy. This was being oneself!

His cultivation also broke through accordingly, silently stepping straight into the Fanxu Late Stage.

"Where is Xiaojiu?" Ye Qingxuan picked up a skewer of roasted meat and began to eat ravenously. It had been a long time since he had eaten like this.

"It should be in the kitchen; I didn't call it." Qingling propped her chin on her hand, watching Ye Qingxuan's eating manner. The last time was when he was a child.
