Chapter 311: Do You Believe in the Existence of Light in This World?
After arranging everything.
Xu Lingjun paid a total of over four hundred academic credits but directly received 200+ Source Value.
A two-to-one ratio made Xu Lingjun extremely pleased... It's truly like having a pillow when you need it.
It's worth noting that during this time, Father Wang wasn't idle either.
Thus, the seeds he planted earlier began to take root and produce results.
[Detected fake item 'Xuan Wu True Skill', would you like to bestow its true essence? It requires 1500 points of Source Value!]
[Detected fake item Frost's Sorrow, would you like to bestow its true essence, it requires 2700 points of Source Value!]
[Detected fake item Spark Prism, would you like to bestow its true essence, it requires 4200 points of Source Value!]
The value is very high.
Probably because the authenticity is quite low, yet it is unexpected that someone would actually believe such items exist in this world.
.........................
Although Xu Lingjun currently can't use these items, having enough Source Value allows him to possess more diverse means.
At that time, he will be able to face any crisis.
Xu Lingjun has already sent another letter back to Father Wang, with plenty of toys and settings enclosed; these items can't be too plentiful.
That's why Xu Lingjun wants to gather a large amount of Source Value.
"We'll be living next door from now on, so if there's anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Yes, I understand."
Jun Qing answered obediently.
"Ah, bad timing. I happen to be attempting to break through the Profound Realm during this period, so I might not be able to look after you too much. But I can still guide you every few days. You can use this time to enhance your strength, ideally reaching the True Transformation Realm as soon as possible."
Xu Lingjun understands that being overly enthusiastic might quickly exhaust Jun Qing's potential... Keeping a balance between warmth and aloofness is key to their interactions.
It's important to ensure her quality lasts as long as possible.
Jun Qing nodded, saying, "Yes."
Looking at Xu Lingjun, her eyes were filled with amazement and shock. According to Sister Gu, Senior Brother Xu had only enrolled a year before her.
Yet he's already attempting to break through the Profound Realm?
That realm could completely rid her of illness... This senior brother is definitely not just a flashy display.
Xu Lingjun said, "Alright, go to class now. You manage your study and cultivation time yourself. I'm just your teaching assistant, I can only provide guidance when you're confused during cultivation. On the cultivation path, others can only serve as references; you are the one who needs to make the decisions."
Jun Qing nodded, then bowed slightly to Xu Lingjun before running off to class.
Xu Lingjun went back to his room, sending Daxiong to Li Jingjun's place next door, and then returned to seclusion.
During this time, his progress was astonishingly fast, especially after experiencing the battle with Pirate King Roger Sparrow, his meridians suddenly accommodated True Qi far exceeding his limits, even though he expelled it quickly. During the brief duration it remained in his body, his meridians expanded considerably.
Therefore, during this period, his progress was naturally very swift.
Now, he feels he's only one step away from directly breaking through to the late stage of Hui Chuan.
Then, it'll be time for the Barrier-Breaking Pill to take action.
After settling everything, he prepared a large amount of food rich in Blood Qi for himself, intending to start serious cultivation.
If nothing unexpected happens, it's time for him to break through to the Profound Realm.
In the blink of an eye... a month has passed.
During this month, Xu Lingjun's days were very fulfilling.
Daily diligent cultivation, apart from regular meals, he spent almost all his remaining time at home without stepping out.
And correspondingly...
His strength was steadily improving.
True Qi gathered like Hui Chuan meets the sea, accommodating various rivers, never pausing even for a moment... bottleneck?
Xu Lingjun has never encountered one.
And at this moment.
Imperial City.
Princess's Mansion.
In the guest hall, Han Qingxue had just finished a day of meetings at the court. Upon learning there was a prestigious guest, she hurried over without even changing her clothes to entertain the guest.
"Pavilion Master Zhou has come to visit again, specifically to see Qingxue, making Qingxue feel extremely honored. If the Pavilion Master needs anything, just instruct, and Qingxue will gladly pay a visit to listen and learn, really sorry to keep you waiting, Pavilion Master."
Saying this.
Han Qingxue's face was full of bright smiles.
Zhou Qianmo is the Pavilion Master of Nanyun Martial Mansion, one of the Four Great Martial Mansions, which provides countless talents for the Empire every year... His personal visit at this sensitive time carries a significance that's beyond the happiness she could have imagined.
"It was too presumptuous for me to visit voluntarily."
Zhou Qianmo stood up, saying, "Frankly speaking, I came to see the Princess for a serious discussion."
"Please tell me, Pavilion Master, Qingxue will never refuse if I can help."
Zhou Qianmo asked, "I heard that Han Yun City did not return to Dongxu Martial Mansion with Pavilion Master Li Tianlai but stayed in the Imperial City, correct?"
Han Qingxue said, "Yes, Xiaocheng has exceptional strength, successfully breaking through to the Profound Realm. Such strength is already beyond the scope of the Martial Mansion students, whether he goes to Dongxu Martial Mansion or not makes little difference."
Zhou Qianmo sighed, "Indeed, this boy has an extraordinary temperament, unmatched strength, exceptional talent in Martial Tao that is truly unique. I once had great hopes for my grandson Zhou Mu, who tried to intercept Han Yun City several times but was easily defeated by him... The gap between them is undeniable."
"I have also heard about Zhou Mu, Pavilion Master, my condolences."
"The person is dead, what use is condolences?"
A glimmer of darkness flashed in Zhou Qianmo's eyes as he sighed, "What I want is revenge for my grandson. He was my precious child. If he offended someone he shouldn't have, he deserved a stern lesson. If the victim approached me, I would apologize and even severely punish the child. But now that he's dead inexplicably, without even finding his body, how could an old solitary man like me just let it go?"
Han Qingxue pondered, "What does the Pavilion Master mean..."
Zhou Qianmo said, "When I left, I took a distant look at Han Yun City. His aura was fluctuating around him, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and extremely unstable... Do you know why this is, Princess?"
Han Qingxue said, "Perhaps battling the Pirate King caused injuries? After all, despite being both in the Profound Realm, the difference between them is immense, and such disparity isn't surprising."
"Injury doesn't manifest like this, but I know a situation that does... it's the Primordial Martial Pill. Consuming the Primordial Martial Pill significantly enhances a martial artist's strength for a long duration. During this process, consumption reaches a peak, then gradually declines, resulting in externally fluctuating aura."
Zhou Qianmo sternly looked at Han Qingxue, stating word by word, "And perhaps the Princess doesn't know that I was worried about my grandson's safety and gave him ten Primordial Martial Pills for protection. But after his demise, Han Yun City somehow possessed them... Princess, could you uphold justice for me?"
Han Qingxue: "................"
