Chapter 561 -513: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

Could it be… she also admires Master Qin?

Well, that’s understandable. Anyone who has truly witnessed Qin Yu’s abilities would be left in awe, wouldn’t they?

After all, if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, who could imagine that someone in this world could fully control the Star Prison Array, and even purify Malice and Malice Spirits?

“Him?”

Bai Yaoyin pondered for a moment, then said seriously, “He is a very good person.”

“Very good?”

Chu Muyin was utterly perplexed, feeling that something just seemed off.

What kind of evaluation is that?

Still, even though she didn’t get it, she glanced at her aunt, as if to say, See, I knew Master Qin isn’t nearly as disgraceful as the rumors claimed.

Rumors really do ruin people!

Faced with Chu Muyin’s repeated probing, Bai Yaoyin couldn’t keep avoiding the subject and finally had to offer a few vague impressions she had of Qin Yu.

Honestly, none of those surface-level things were really any secret.

Any major force with half-decent intelligence would know some of it, let alone the Great Chu Royal Family.

Bai Yaoyin didn’t reveal her relationship with Qin Yu; even if she was curious herself, she didn’t ask further, lest this clever Princess detect anything unusual.

The main thing was, there was that person beside her.

Chu Liuya—now, that name, in the Great Chu Immortal Country, could stop a baby from crying just by being mentioned.

If she gave away anything odd, Chu Liuya would definitely spot it.

“She was acting a little strange.”

Once Bai Yaoyin had taken her leave, Chu Liuya—who had been silent the entire time—suddenly spoke.

“Maybe she’s just admiring Master Qin.”

Chu Muyin didn’t pay it any mind.

After all, with the ancient array being restored, the Bai Family from the ancient race would certainly care a lot about Qin Yu. For the Carefree Pavilion Chief Steward to develop admiration was only natural.

…

Inside the Lifebound Space—on the seventh day of Qin Yu’s closed-door cultivation.

[Cultivation: Early-stage Nascent Soul (26%)]

[Root Bone: Top Grade Dao Bone (Flame Point 186746/1600000)]

[Spiritual Power: Middle Tier (Flame Point 186746/400000)]

As those star-like runes completely merged into his body, Qin Yu keenly felt his physical affinity with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi growing ever closer.

Even if he didn’t actively operate the Free Creation Divine Technique, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would continuously rush toward him on its own.

Furthermore, even without activating the Dao Divine Lotus, he could still distinctly sense the presence of Dao Rhyme.

Before this, he could vaguely sense the power of Dao Rhyme, but never this sharply. It was as if he’d been looking at flowers through a veil of mist—everything was obscured.

Now that mist had cleared away.

No wonder, comprehending Dao Rhyme is supposedly so easy for those with Top Grade Dao Bone.

So that’s how it is.

With every breath, Qin Yu could feel his perception of Dao Rhyme’s power rise a little further.

[Earth Attribute Dao Rhyme Power: 21%]

[Gold Attribute Dao Rhyme Power: 11%]

[Thunder Attribute Dao Rhyme Power: 11%]

[Light Attribute Dao Rhyme Power: 3%]

Qin Yu glanced at the flame.

Sure enough, all four types of Dao Rhyme Power had advanced by 1%. Such progress could only be described as terrifying.

After all, how long has it been since he broke into the Lotus Platform Realm?!

Of course, he didn’t really fit the standard definition of the Lotus Platform Realm, because atop his Lotus Platform sat a Nascent Soul.

And it seemed he didn’t need to build multiple lotus platforms like other cultivators.

Thanks to the Nascent Soul, he could easily sense and harness the power of Dao Rhyme in the world.

So, in truth, he was no longer really in the Lotus Platform Realm.

He was in Foundation Establishment.

The so-called Lotus Platform Realm was really just a realm for cultivators in this world who hadn’t yet condensed a Nascent Soul—a sort of extra stage.

Qin Yu felt this more strongly than ever.

But that raises another question—how should he cultivate in the future?!

He had no clue.

Cultivation is all about inheritance—without guidance passed down from generation to generation, Qin Yu would just be groping in the dark, the way he used to, with excruciatingly slow progress.

What a headache.

Now that he’d formed a Nascent Soul, where was he supposed to find inheritance?

“Huff!…”

Qin Yu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, then finally opened his eyes.

His wives had already gone off to cultivate.

Good thing time flowed differently in the Lifebound Space—otherwise, how would they find enough hours for proper cultivation?

Sure, improving Root Bone was crucial, but cultivation itself couldn’t be neglected—otherwise, no matter how good your Root Bone was, your realm would advance just as slowly.

Suddenly, a face of peerless beauty came into view.

It was the Beauty Clan Leader.

“Your Root Bone has improved?”

At that moment, the Beauty Clan Leader stared intently at him, her crystal-clear eyes full of curiosity.

Qin Yu was different from his other Dao Companions.

Su Xi and the others—their constitutions seemed to be changing as well, but extremely slowly.

But Qin Yu, though he didn’t have the same kind of condition, had managed to advance his Root Bone by an entire grade in a short period of time.

Top Grade Dao Bone.

No matter the race, that was already considered an outstanding physique.

After all, an Innate Dao Spirit Body was as rare as rare can be—even in an entire Great Immortal Country with countless beings, those with an Innate Dao Spirit Body could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Qin Yu never planned to hide the truth from this Beauty in front of him.

Heh.

Now that you’re in here, you still wish to leave unscathed?!

All those oaths and promises are nothing compared to making her one of his own people.

So, his earlier behavior was really just a way to draw this Beauty’s attention.

And look at that—

The fish had taken the bait.

Seems like it’s time to haul in the net.

He let out a soft laugh, then said to her, “Can’t you sense it yourself?”

“You… let me try and sense it.”

Even though she could confirm it through the change in affinity with Spiritual Qi, the Beauty Clan Leader couldn’t help but want to check personally.

This was, after all, a big deal!

“Sister, how do you want to sense it?”

Looking into those inquisitive beautiful eyes, Qin Yu’s lips quirked up in a smile, and he took the initiative to reach over and hold her soft, boneless jade hand.

Tsk!

So soft, like it’s made of cotton, yet with a hint of coolness—the feel was incredible. Once he took hold, it was hard to let go.

Normally, the Beauty Clan Leader would have shown obvious rejection or displeasure, but now she couldn’t be bothered. The moment they made contact, she started sensing the changes in Qin Yu’s body.

As expected, his physique had transformed!

She wasn’t interacting with Qin Yu for the first time—so such a dramatic difference was easy to discern.

The Beauty Clan Leader gazed blankly at the man before her.

There were so many unbelievable things about Qin Yu—now, even the advancement of his Spiritual Power almost seemed insignificant in comparison.

And that was entry-level Spiritual Power advancement, no less.

Sure, there were quite a few cultivators with entry-level Spiritual Power in the Great Immortal Countries, but age was still a factor.

Qin Yu’s bone age wasn’t even forty yet.

And he had Top Grade Dao Bone, with several thousand years of lifespan. Who could say he wouldn’t reach Divine Spirit level in the future?!

Divine Spirit.

It seemed only the Emperor of the Great Qin had ever done that.
