Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 314 Revolving Qi Realm

“But, if you want to introduce the operation of Soaring Feather Trading Company to the Yin Yang Unity Palace, wouldn’t you first need the permission of the Great Seductress?”

Sui Luxiao asked with some hesitation as she did not know whether Lian Zhiqiu would welcome such a change.

“Palace Master Lian? Hahaha, you clearly overestimate how much Sect Leader cares about the affairs of the sect”

Wu Long chuckled as he recalled the look on her face when she talked about sect rules. In a way Lian Zhiqiu was a perfect Sect Leader for him.

“I see, I will think of a new strategy then, but… my sons…”

“Let them follow if they wish, the third one included. I appreciate you holding up the agreement, but the main reason for that agreement, namely the couple I was protecting with it is already a part of the Yin Yang Unity Palace.

Though they would have to forgive your son for him to be completely in the clear, but if he really did learn his lesson I don’t think they will not see it, and I don’t mind giving them a chance”

Wu Long truly did not care much about the three Sui descendants, but since they mattered to her, he was inclined to largely ignore their existence, at least while they behaved.

After all, from what he heard from Old Yen, they had confessed to wrongdoings that were not even discovered previously and struggled to make amends to those they harmed. Not everyone of those they approached was willing to forgive or believe in their change, but they at least showed a progress, somewhat surprising him.

“Thank you, Wu Long”

She smiled with slightly watery eyes as she knew he was not at all interested in them, but was tolerating their existence solely because of her.

“Heh, why are you not calling me like you did last night?”

He chuckled and she blushed as she averted her gaze again.

“I… I’ve never called anyone that… even when I was married… I don’t know what came over me last night”

She never called her ex-husband “Dear” even at the start of their relationship when she was still full of hope and life, it seemed unnatural to her. But last night, when she saw him, the word came out so naturally as if that was the way it was supposed to be.

“I am joking, you can call me like usual”

He chuckled again and stood up, feeling the strength coursing through him.

The Revolving Qi Realm was when the Spiritual Qi in the practitioner’s Dantian was starting to form a vortex, constantly moving instead of staying in a static gas-like state. It accelerated the process of replenishing Spiritual Qi as well as created a constant passive cycle of Spiritual Qi in the body, without the need of a conscious effort to circulate it. It also dramatically increased the amounts of Spiritual Qi that a cultivator possessed.

For Wu Long the increase in Spiritual Qi was not that much of an improvement due to his already incredible reserves because of the Spiritual Qi War Art, but the constant flow of Spiritual Qi in his body allowed him to use the Battle Cultivation Scripture perpetually without conscious effort to do so, as well as using it to run the Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art at all times not needing to spare attention to this process.

The other notable improvement when entering the Revolving Qi Realm for other cultivators was the enhancement of the reaction speed, since an acceleration of Spiritual Qi circulation was a lot faster than starting it from a static state, but it usually did not help Wu Long’s opponents since he was used to ending fights in that split moment it took to accelerate the flow of Spiritual Qi.

The Lightning Rune coursing through his veins became slightly agitated as he broke through to the Revolving Qi Realm, but was pacified by the otherwise unchanged environment. In fact, the advancement would spare him from constantly making an effort to contain it and supply it with enough Spiritual Qi to keep it docile.

“Are you going to the Imperial Palace?”

“Heh, it seems the secret is no longer a secret and everyone who knows where to look caught wind of the deal”

“Yes, I am sure you will have no problem, but you have to be careful. Song Lingfei’s status became sensitive recently, and His Highness the Crown Prince’s claim to the throne it now largely linked to whether he would be capable enough to protect her and procure a cure for her”

“So they are saying if he cannot protect her or find a way to cure her, he is incompetent?”

“Basically” 𝙡𝙞𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Sui Luxiao nodded and he chuckled at how the issue he was sure was on the periphery of the struggle to the throne was now smack in the middle of it.

‘Heh, that man truly is resourceful’

He inwardly chuckled and went to the door of the office.

“Oh, I will introduce you to one of my women who came to the capital with me later this evening, do you want to meet here?”

“Hmm, why don’t you move to my mansion? My sons stay separately and it would be inefficient to use an inn when there is a spacious mansion”

“Heh, don’t mind if I take you up on that”

Wu Long smiled and she chuckled happily as that meant that tonight she would come home to a not empty house.

“Moth-….”

Her eldest son was coming to the door when he saw it opening, and assuming it was Sui Luxiao started talking when he froze in place with a shocked look to see Wu Long exit the office.

“Good morning”

“G-g-g-good morning, Sir!”

Wu Long smiled, nonchalantly greeting the young man and went by him as Sui Zheng hurriedly turned and bowed to him.

There was a bead of sweat on the forehead of Sui Luxiao’s oldest son who did not dare raise his head until Wu Long’s figure disappeared in the distance.

—

Wu Long stopped by the inn where Wu Mengqi greeted him with a hug, blissfully smiling in his embrace as she snuggled into his chest and was relishing the skinship.

He explained to her that they would be moving in to Sui Luxiao’s mansion, and she chuckled, since she never doubted the answer Sui Luxiao would give ever since she heard of the choice he gave her.

They then both went to the hill in the center of the city, where the massive and majestic Imperial Palace stood over the cityscape.
