Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 136 Both Cultivation Levels Breakthrough
Although her cultivation level was rapidly improving, the sensation of spiritual energy washing over her meridians was unbearable for Xiao Qingyun. Cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her face turned pale.

Lu Ming continued to circulate the Yin-Yang Scripture, accelerating the circulation of spiritual energy within the two individuals, causing the spiritual energy vortex between their bodies to grow larger and larger. As the spiritual energy vortex expanded, more and more spiritual energy flowed into their bodies, and the spiritual energy of the entire Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion poured into the study.

At this moment, Lu Ming felt a door appear inside his body. This door was the gateway between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining. The appearance of this door meant that he was about to break through.

I didn't expect him to break through to the third level of Qi Refining just a few days ago, and he's about to break through again so soon.

Just as she was about to break through that door, Lu Ming accelerated the circulation of the Yin-Yang Scripture once again. At this moment, Xiao Qingyun could no longer bear the feeling of her meridians being cleansed. She began to twist her waist, trying to break free from Lu Ming's control.

Lu Ming held her tightly around the waist and kissed her lips, making it even harder for her to break free.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ming felt that there was too much spiritual energy in his body to absorb any more, so he mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body to break through the barrier to the third level of Qi Refining.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy he had accumulated, Lu Ming broke through the barrier to the third level of Qi Refining in an instant, and his cultivation level directly broke through.

Lu Ming thought to himself, "Sure enough, compared to the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique, the Yin Yang Scripture is the most suitable for cultivation."

Of course, these two techniques have different focuses. The "Purple Sun Body Refining Technique" uses spiritual energy to temper the body. The spiritual energy that enters the body is consumed during the tempering process, so practicing the "Purple Sun Body Refining Technique" mainly improves the strength of the physical body.

The spiritual energy absorbed through circulating the Yin-Yang Scripture accumulated in his body, which is why he felt the existence of the cultivation bottleneck more quickly, and was able to break through the cultivation barrier more quickly.

Noticing that Lu Ming's aura had become much stronger, Xiao Qingyun understood that Lu Ming had broken through. With Lu Ming's breakthrough, the speed at which he circulated the Yin-Yang Scripture also became faster.

Xiao Qingyun was also a cultivator, but this was her first time experiencing such a powerful surge of spiritual energy. Lu Ming, on the other hand, had been cultivating for a period of time, and since he had initially practiced the "Purple Sun Body Refining Technique," a method that used qi to refine the body, his body had become accustomed to the presence of a large amount of spiritual energy.

Therefore, even if he is now fully activating the Yin-Yang Scripture, he can completely digest the abundant spiritual energy he absorbs. Moreover, he just broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his body needs more spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy he is absorbing now seems like a lot, it is still far from meeting the needs of a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Thus, Xiao Qingyun was forced to help Lu Ming absorb more spiritual energy.

In the blink of an eye, a morning had passed.

After cultivating for a morning, both of them saw a significant improvement in their cultivation levels.

Just then, Xiao Qingyun realized that her cultivation level had stopped increasing, and Lu Ming seemed to have stopped practicing his cultivation technique.

She fixed her gaze on Lu Ming and said indifferently, "Is that enough..."

She could sense that Lu Ming still hadn't used any methods to replenish her energy; in fact, he had helped her improve her cultivation level considerably.

Although she didn't know why Lu Ming did this, she wouldn't be grateful to him just because he helped her improve her cultivation level, and therefore wouldn't stop counting the points.

This time it definitely has to be included.

Lu Ming also realized that Xiao Qingyun had reached her limit, and since his cultivation had just broken through and needed some time to stabilize, he did not plan to continue cultivating.

Seeing that Lu Ming had stopped practicing his internal energy, Xiao Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then tidied her appearance and prepared to leave the study.

As soon as Xiao Qingyun got up, her body started to fall uncontrollably. Lu Ming quickly supported her waist, which prevented her from falling to the ground.

Lu Ming whispered in Xiao Qingyun's ear, "Sister Xiao, are you satisfied this time?"

Xiao Qingyun said coldly, "Don't think I'll thank you."

"One hundred and ninety-eight attempts remain."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingyun began to try to steady herself.

Lu Ming had originally planned to use the "Rejuvenation Technique" to help Xiao Qingyun alleviate her discomfort, but seeing her indifferent demeanor, he reconsidered and decided against it. He figured he should be ruthless with her; after all, it was a transaction.

She's not invested, so there's no need for me to be either; I won't lose anything.

After tidying up her clothes, Xiao Qingyun dragged her exhausted body and left the study.

After Xiao Qingyun left, Lu Ming turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qingyun's illustration.

[Name: Xiao Qingyun]

[Identity: Eldest daughter of the Xiao family]

[Realm Level: First Level of Qi Refining]

[Status: To save Su Wanyun and prevent her from becoming your cultivation vessel, she willingly sacrificed her body. She is somewhat puzzled as to why you didn't drain her essence twice, but instead helped her improve her cultivation. She suspects you have a bigger conspiracy.]

【Favourability: 65】

[Activation progress: 26% (available for collection)]

(Note: Interaction and close interaction can increase activation progress. Stage rewards can be obtained when the progress reaches 1%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%.)
Upon seeing the illustrations before him, Lu Ming was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Xiao Qingyun's favorability rating would not only not decrease because of today's events, but would actually increase. This was truly unexpected.

Lu Ming then opened the encyclopedia treasure chest.

【Water Control Technique】

Upon seeing this technique, Lu Ming knew what it was for.

His encyclopedia will likely include other elemental techniques like Fire Control Technique and Water Control Technique.

Looking back now, he has already collected all three types of martial arts techniques.

The Method of Plants and Trees is a wood-attribute technique, the Fire Control Technique is a fire-attribute technique, and the Water Control Technique is clearly a water-attribute technique.

Of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—only the metal and earth attributes are missing from the cultivation methods.

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming accepted the inheritance of the "Water Control Technique".

at the same time.

When Xiao Qingyun returned to the courtyard, she found Su Wanyun directing the servants to rearrange the courtyard.

Upon seeing Xiao Qingyun return, Su Wanyun immediately asked, "Qingyun, where did you go?"

"I originally planned to discuss the layout of the courtyard with you, but after searching the entire Prince's Mansion, I couldn't find you, so I had no choice but to make some arrangements in advance."

Xiao Qingyun said listlessly, "Wanyun, you can decide how to arrange the courtyard. Whatever you like is fine with me."

"I have something to do, so I'm going back to my room first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingyun limped toward her boudoir. Although Xiao Qingyun was trying her best to control her body and not give herself away, Su Wanyun could still tell at a glance that Xiao Qingyun's walk was a little strange.
