71: We owe it all to you, Aunt!

After Lu Yi returned to the room carrying Qing'er, he gently placed her on his bed.

Perhaps sensing Lu Yi's familiar scent.

This time, Qing'er no longer resisted as she had before.

She submissively let go of the arm she had been holding tightly.

Lu Yi looked at her peaceful sleeping face and felt that she didn't seem to have any symptoms of discomfort.

He then grabbed Qing'er's slender wrist and investigated.

Upon investigation, he was surprised to find a stream of pure Spiritual Qi automatically running at high speed within Qing'er's Meridians.

Presumably, this should be the miraculous effect produced after absorbing Wu Yang's massive Luck.

This also saved him a lot of trouble.

In the future, when he encounters various people of destiny, he can use Qing'er as a "Luck Converter" to make the most of them and squeeze out all their value.

Meanwhile, he calculated inwardly:

After the source of Luck completely disappears, that Luck purified and fed back by the Spirit Race Bloodline.

It should... also be able to come to himself, right?

After settling Qing'er, Lu Yi prepared to receive the System rewards he had accumulated for a long time.

First was the elevation of the Cultivation Technique rank.

The Cultivation Technique rank was elevated to Quasi-Saint Rank.

Although it was only elevated from Heaven Rank to Quasi-Saint Rank.

However, Lu Yi could clearly feel that the profundity and complexity of the Cultivation Technique were more than just a bit higher compared to the fundamental Cultivation Technique of the Primordial Holy Land, which was also at the Quasi-Saint Rank.

Next was the elevation of his Realm.

His cultivation was elevated from Guiyi Realm Late Stage to Undying Realm Early Stage.

Because during the previous "healing" process with Leng Ningshuang, he had already passively "replenished" a massive amount of pure spiritual power from her.

Therefore, this Realm Breakthrough was simply a natural progression, without encountering any Bottleneck.

Along with him gradually finishing the absorption of the massive spiritual power provided by the System.

Outside the window, the sky gradually began to show a hint of dawn.

Finally, the moment the sky completely brightened.

“Boom—”

A powerful wave of spiritual power and Divine Soul fluctuations erupted with Lu Yi as the center, suddenly spreading in all directions!

Undying Realm! It's done!

Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body that was several times more abundant than before.

He clenched his hands, and the first thought that came to his mind was—

Next time, I definitely won't lose to Martial Aunt again!

Let's see who will be the one to pin the other down then!

...However, he quickly snapped out of it.

He hurriedly shook his head, throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind.

He couldn't help but roast himself in his heart:

I'm really a bit possessed!

How come the first thing I thought of after a Breakthrough was this kind of thing?

Truly a sin, a sin... Just as he was "repenting" alone.

He felt his sleeve being gently tugged twice.

Immediately after, a crisp young girl's voice came from behind:

“Mas... Revered Master, I'm hungry...”

Hearing the voice, Lu Yi subconsciously turned his head to look down.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he turned around.

What he saw was... Qing'er's neck?

Then he slowly shifted his gaze upward.

He saw Qing'er's delicate and pretty face looking up, her watery big eyes staring at him pitifully.

Her mouth was also slightly pouting, looking aggrieved and starving.

This left Lu Yi completely stunned on the spot.

He hurriedly reached out and pressed his hand on Qing'er's head.

Then, he measured it against his own shoulder.

Good heavens!

This girl, in just one night's sleep.

She actually... actually grew half a head taller than last night?!

Is it really this immediate?!

And what made Lu Yi feel an even more obvious change was Qing'er's current temperament.

To put it bluntly, the Qing'er he saw before was more like a timid child who knew nothing.

But now... she looked more like a young girl the same age as Wu Mingyue, full of youthful vitality... a maiden?

Qing'er looked at Lu Yi's dazed and silly expression.

Her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Then, she directly reached out her hands and grabbed Lu Yi's arm.

While gently shaking it, she said in a somewhat embarrassed and coquettish tone:

“Revered Master... I'm really so hungry...”

Lu Yi then snapped back to reality.

He looked at Qing'er's naturally coquettish manner.

It was hard to believe she was the same person as the little girl yesterday who had trouble speaking and could only hide behind him.

The Spirit Race... is truly too miraculous.

“Hungry, are you?”

Lu Yi rubbed Qing'er's head.

Then, he took out a large pile of Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Food containing pure Spiritual Qi from his Storage Pouch and placed them in front of her.

Presumably, the reason she felt so hungry now.

Should also be due to this sudden growth of her body.

She really needs to be properly nourished.

“Thank you, Revered Master!”

Qing'er cheered and didn't hold back.

She immediately grabbed various kinds of Spiritual Food and began to feast greedily.

Lu Yi looked at her wolfing down the food and shook his head with a smile.

Then he pushed open the door and walked out.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Leng Ningshuang and Chu Qianqian standing outside his courtyard gate, seemingly waiting for him.

They were attracted by the powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations Lu Yi had caused during his Breakthrough earlier.

Seeing Lu Yi come out, Leng Ningshuang spoke first.

In her cool eyes, there was a hint of undisguised surprise and hesitation as she asked:

“You... have you broken through to the Undying Realm?”

But before Lu Yi could answer.

Chu Qianqian, who was on the side, shouted first in a voice full of shock:

“What?! Undying Realm?!”

Chu Qianqian was extremely shocked by this!

After all, she herself was considered to have outstanding talent.

A few days ago, she had just barely broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm after much effort.

She was originally a bit smug about it.

But she didn't expect that this guy Lu Yi.

Actually... was already in the Undying Realm?!

This level could already allow one to become an Elder in those top Sect Holy Lands!

She immediately approached, circling around Lu Yi as if looking at some kind of monster.

She wished she could strip him naked on the spot to see exactly how he Cultivated and how he could be so fast!

Lu Yi ignored Chu Qianqian's gaze.

He turned his head and said to Leng Ningshuang with a meaningful smile:

“Yes, I broke through by chance.”

He paused, then continued in a tone full of suggestion:

“Speaking of which... it's all thanks to you, Martial Aunt...”

Leng Ningshuang was about to say, what does your Breakthrough have to do with me?

But when she saw Lu Yi's meaningful smile.

She instantly realized that what Lu Yi was referring to was probably the incident from yesterday.

Combined with his phrase “Martial Aunt,” which he deliberately emphasized... she couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed.

And Chu Qianqian, hearing the conversation between the two, also began to understand.

She stopped her circling and looked back and forth between Lu Yi and Leng Ningshuang.

Then, she began to mutter silently in her heart:

“Although I knew that Dual Cultivation is of great benefit to cultivation...”

“But I didn't expect the benefits to be... that big?!”

“Should I... also find an opportunity to... give it a try with him?”
