Chapter 1088

Hearing her little sister say that, and seeing the bashful expression on her face, Ji Qingzhu looked utterly incredulous.

"Com...comfortable?" Ji Qingzhu bit her crimson lips, "Th-this kind of thing, how could it possibly be comfortable?"

Seeing her elder sister’s confusion, if it were in the past, Ji Hongzhuang would naturally have been too embarrassed to speak.

But after spending the past few days with Qin Qi, her courage had been noticeably emboldened.

She pressed her rosy lips together, "I used to think there was no way something like that could feel good... At the time, I was even mentally bracing myself."

"But the result turned out to be completely different from what I expected! I never thought, never thought..."

"Never thought what?" Ji Qingzhu asked curiously.

Ji Hongzhuang blushed shyly, "Well, anyway, anyway, I was actually pretty happy about it!"

Ji Qingzhu watched her sister acting so coy and girlish, which only made her even more curious deep down.

Meanwhile, she recalled the previous time Qin Qi had helped her expel the evil poison—the sensation of that rich Yang energy surging into her body, flooding her with pleasure.

That feeling left her wanting more and unable to stop...

Just simple contact had been so intense, so if they got even closer!

All at once, Ji Qingzhu felt like a little cat, her curiosity completely stirred.

And right then, as the two were talking,

Suddenly, an astonishing surge of aura fluctuation erupted from Qin Qi’s room...

"What’s this..."

The two sisters immediately froze in their tracks.

They opened their eyes wide, sensing the ripple in the atmosphere.

After all, Ji Qingzhu had already reached the Core Formation Stage, so she quickly reached a conclusion, "Qin Qi... has he started already?"

"This is the stabilization of energy just before breaking through to the Core Formation Stage!" Ji Hongzhuang chimed in.

Seeing this, Ji Qingzhu took a deep breath, "Hongzhuang, go personally remind everyone again. For the next few days, no one in the team should handle any other matters. Everyone stays inside the manor, no unnecessary movement or noise, and guard the area so no one enters!"

"As for Qin Qi, I’ll personally stand guard here!"

Ji Hongzhuang understood the importance and immediately agreed without hesitation.

Thus, as time slipped by,

Ji Qingzhu could clearly sense that Qin Qi had begun to draw in vast amounts of nature’s spiritual energy from all over the manor!

Finally, it was noon the next day.

Ji Qingzhu, who had originally been meditating nearby, suddenly snapped open her beautiful eyes, gaze locking onto Qin Qi’s courtyard.

She muttered, "It’s begun!"

Just as those words fell,

In an instant—

Rumble...!

An earth-shaking sound erupted, and next, an astonishing burst of True Qi exploded out from the courtyard.

"This is—the True Qi storm caused when breaking through the Core Formation Stage!" Ji Qingzhu gulped, "But—but this True Qi storm is a bit too spectacular, isn’t it? Is this really an anomaly brought on by breaking through the Core Formation Stage?"

To the naked eye, the True Qi shot straight toward the skies, piercing the heavens. At least several hundred zhang high!

This alone proved how terrifying Qin Qi’s foundation was during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Without question, this phenomenon instantly drew attention from everyone in Yellow Heaven City, even from neighboring cities.

Many captains had already sensed what was happening and rushed over in droves!

Upon beholding the massive True Qi storm gathering overhead, everyone’s eyes widened, their shock written all over their faces.

"What is this..."

"A heavenly anomaly for Core Formation? But the scale of this anomaly is just too terrifying!"

Disbelief flickered in everyone’s gaze.

"How strong must his foundation be, to gather such a huge True Qi storm at breakthrough?"

"When breaking through Core Formation, a cultivator will first release a vast portion of reserved True Qi, then slowly absorb it, ultimately condensing a stable Golden Core inside their body! That’s why, the more True Qi a cultivator has, the more spectacular the storm will be!"

"Wait, look—it seems this True Qi storm hasn’t even peaked yet!"

When everyone heard this assessment, they were dumbfounded.

Looking closely, they realized it was true.

"I remember, when Luo Meng broke through to Core Formation, the heavenly anomaly caused by his True Qi storm only reached just over two hundred zhang high."

"They said when Zhao Bei broke through, he managed three hundred zhang. But both of them practiced Xuan Yi Sect’s Pill Separation Technique!"

"Qin Qi’s already over three hundred zhang—he’s about to hit four hundred!"

The shock raged and churned in every heart.

And Qin Qi’s anomaly also caught the attention of powerful figures from other cities.

Thus, in Xuantian City, someone finally took note of the scene!

...

At that moment, in a grand and magnificent palace within Xuantian City,

A woman who looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, possessing the mature charm of a young wife, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

She wore a violet dress, her entire bearing exuding elegance and authority.

Once her eyes opened, she gazed into the distance, "Oh? Interesting—someone’s breaking through to Core Formation with such a commotion!"

Without a word, she waved her fair hand, her figure flashing like lightning and mysteriously, ethereally appearing outside the palace.

"Lady Yan Shuiming!" Outside the palace, an old man at the Core Formation Stage greeted her respectfully.

Because this woman was none other than one of the few Nascent Soul powerhouses in the battle arena, and also one of the rare female Nascent Soul cultivators—Yan Shuiming!

She stood with hands clasped behind her back, eyes turned toward the distance, "You sensed the commotion from Yellow Heaven City?"

"Yes, it seems someone’s breaking through Core Formation, but the scale of it is truly incredible!" The old Core Formation cultivator took a deep breath and replied.

Yan Shuiming stood tall, hands behind her back, "Incredible is an understatement—this anomaly is unheard of. Looks like I’ll have to go see it myself!"

"If that kid really pulls off the Core Formation breakthrough, it’s not out of the question to recruit him under my command!"

With that, Yan Shuiming flickered and vanished once again from the palace.

And as she arrived in Yellow Heaven City—

"Another Nascent Soul powerhouse is here..."

"Looks like Qin Qi is attracting all of them!"

"That’s Lady Yan Shuiming, rumored to practice Demon Skill, but rarely seen at the battle arena among Nascent Soul cultivators."

As the crowd whispered,

From a mysterious floating sedan above, a voice rang out, "Oh? Yan Shuiming, you’re here too!"

Yan Shuiming glanced at the mysterious floating sedan, snorted coldly, "Master Ao Hu, if you can come, why can’t I?"

"But Master Ao Hu, since when did you get interested in the younger generation?"

Master Ao Hu sneered, "Heh, with a Core Formation breakthrough this spectacular, only a fool wouldn’t be interested!"
