Chapter 381: Chapter 201: Confirmation of the Marriage Alliance

Yang Wenqing returned to the side room of his small courtyard, sat cross-legged, and immersed his mind in the mystical Golden Core World.

With the breakthrough in his Cultivation, the projection within the Golden Core World had become much clearer. He could now distinctly see the meridian channels of his physical body, as well as the ethereal images of his internal organs.

Right now, Yang Wenqing was most focused on the state of his blood qi and bone marrow. In the projection, the part representing his blood qi energy looked like molten mercury, while deep within his bones, the marrow—the very source of life—emitted a faint Spiritual Light.

Thanks to the foundation he built during the Qi Cultivation Stage, the Spiritual Qi in his body had already begun to fuse deeply with his lifeblood and qi. Now, his cultivation in the Fourth Realm of Marrow Cleansing was a further refinement of his body.

Yang Wenqing meticulously observed every detail of the projection, cross-referencing it with the description of the Fourth Transformation Cultivation Technique in the *Xuanyue True Scripture of Marrow Cleansing*. This gave him a more precise understanding of his current condition.

Next, he used his consciousness to simulate circulating the Fourth Transformation Heart Method for several cycles within his Golden Core World. He carefully experienced every subtle part of the process where Spiritual Qi and blood qi merged, only withdrawing his mind after confirming everything was correct.

Immediately after, he began circulating the Fourth Transformation Cultivation Technique in the real world. This time, his goal was to stabilize his newly attained realm, making the nascent Spirit Blood vortex more stable and attempting to expand its area of influence ever so slightly.

Without a supplementary Array or the corresponding Spiritual Medicines, he could only perform this basic level of cultivation.

The night passed peacefully. As the first ray of dawn pierced through the window lattice, brightening the Quiet Chamber, Yang Wenqing awoke on schedule from his meditation to stabilize his Cultivation.

But he didn’t rise immediately. Instead, he began practicing the Entry Level of the Yuqing Secret Skill. He guided the nascent morning sun’s energy from the heavens and earth into his body, refining it into pure Five Yang Qi to nourish his five viscera.

Over the years, thanks to the occasional personal guidance from his master, Qin Huaiming, Yang Wenqing had successfully converted nearly five percent of the Spiritual Qi in his body into Five Yang Qi.

This ratio might not seem high, but it was an achievement that an ordinary Yuqing Cultivator in the Marrow Cleansing Realm might not reach even after ten years of arduous cultivation.

His cultivation continued until around 7:30 AM. With the thought of his master’s arrival today on his mind, Yang Wenqing ceased his deep meditation.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lan Ying was already awake. She was perched on the windowsill, meticulously preening her jewel-like blue feathers in the morning light. Seeing Yang Wenqing awake, she immediately stopped, let out a cheerful CHIRP, and fluttered over to land on his shoulder, affectionately rubbing against his cheek.

"Morning, Qingqing!"

"Morning, Lan Ying."

Yang Wenqing replied with a smile, reaching out to stroke her smooth little head before getting up.

He pushed open the door to the Quiet Chamber, and fresh air filled his lungs. After glancing at the sky, he strolled to the relatively open space in the center of the courtyard.

A dozen or so seconds later, his thoughts stirred. The True Spirit Sea gathered in his spiritual platform rippled gently, and he mobilized a wisp of his Divine Sense. He was now going to attempt to construct the Dharma Seal for the ’Greenwood Art’.

This was the most effective single-target healing Magic a Wood Spirit Cultivator could master in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Its seal structure was complex, involving the delicate guidance and conversion of life energy.

Yang Wenqing had studied this Magic before to broaden his repertoire of skills. Back then, he was still at the Marrow Cleansing Second Transformation and had not yet established a True Spirit Sea. Constructing the seal required about five seconds of complete concentration, and his success rate was not high.

Now, however, his Divine Sense effortlessly sketched the nascent form of the Dharma Seal in the air. One by one, runic nodes representing vitality lit up in an instant, and the complex energy circuits rapidly wove and completed themselves.

Two seconds!

Just two seconds!

A structurally complete, complex, pale green seal now hovered stably a foot in front of Yang Wenqing. At its center, the ethereal image of a miniature tree of life slowly unfurled its branches and leaves, radiating a pleasant, refreshing aura.

The construction speed had more than doubled, and the process was effortless. The stability of the seal’s structure was also on a completely different level than before. This was one of the most direct benefits of coalescing a True Spirit Sea.

Pleased, Yang Wenqing looked at the seal. With a thought, he dispersed it, and it dissolved into motes of green Spiritual Light that merged with the morning air.

Just then, Yang Zhong hurried in from outside the courtyard. Upon seeing Yang Wenqing, he immediately bowed and reported, "Patriarch, Master Qin’s Flying Shuttle just sent a message. It will arrive at our residential area’s public landing platform in about ten minutes."

Hearing this, Yang Wenqing immediately focused his mind and nodded at Yang Zhong. "Understood."

He then turned and strode toward the side rooms, first waking Gao Zhen, who was still regulating his breath, and then going to get Tang Yuan and his younger brother, Yang Wenjian.

Once they learned that Qin Huaiming was about to arrive, they all quickly straightened their appearances.

In less than five minutes, the group had gathered in the courtyard. Yang Wenqing glanced at the high-spirited Lan Ying on his shoulder, then swept his gaze over the others and said concisely, "Let’s go. We’ll greet Master."

With that, he led the way, and the group walked out of the small courtyard.

The group walked quickly to the public landing platform on the east side of the residential area. They had been standing there for no more than two minutes when a familiar black dot appeared in the sky—it was Qin Huaiming’s private Flying Shuttle.

The Flying Shuttle landed lightly, and the cabin door slid open. Qin Huaiming, dressed in casual, light blue robes, broke into an affectionate smile the moment he saw Yang Wenqing, only then turning his gaze to the others.

Everyone stepped forward to pay their respects, their greetings a mixture of "Master!" and "Martial Uncle!"

"There’s no need for such formalities." Qin Huaiming glanced at the sky and said, "Let’s go back to your residence to talk."
