Chapter 37: The Master Assists Your Cultivation

Ye Li didn't need to eat, so the dishes Luo Xing cooked became her drinking snacks.

A bite of hot food, a sip of cold wine...

Ye Li suddenly felt that her current life wasn't as boring as before...

"About to break through?"

Just as Luo Xing was eating with gusto after learning about Ye Li's weakness, the latter suddenly dropped this bombshell.

"Huh? Master, what did you say?" Luo Xing stopped his shoveling motion.

Ye Li pinched the mouth of the wine bottle with two fingers and gently swirled it, saying calmly, "I can tell your aura is a bit unstable. It seems you're about to break through."

"Uh... y-yeah." Luo Xing's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly forced calm and said, "Thanks to the cultivation resources Master gave me..."

Cheating had its benefits, but of course, it also had drawbacks. Thanks to the help of a few skills from the system, along with a large amount of cultivation resources, Luo Xing's recent cultivation speed had indeed increased quite a bit...

[Cultivation Lv.1: 2/20]

[Breathing Lv.1: 4/20]

Now he was touching the bottleneck of the late Qi Refining stage, just a little more and he would break through to Foundation Establishment.

This was originally a good thing, but the problem was that Luo Xing only had a Medium Spiritual Root. Logically, his cultivation speed shouldn't be this fast...

This situation was like you were originally poor, and suddenly you could afford a car and a house without having to work...

Others would find it hard not to suspect you...

This wasn't Luo Xing being paranoid. After all, this was the cultivation world like this, especially with a woman like Ye Li...

After Luo Xing finished speaking, Ye Li didn't say anything, just silently took a sip of wine...

It seems having him acquire the Sword Heart early had its benefits. Even his cultivation speed had increased quite a bit...

She hadn't suspected Luo Xing at all!

In Ye Li's eyes, the reason Luo Xing was able to achieve such speed was all thanks to her!

Seeing that Ye Li hadn't become suspicious of him, Luo Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

'She probably thinks it's because of the cultivation resources. After all, I've been given quite a lot recently, plus the pills my sister refined to assist...'

Speaking of the Clear Heart Pills Luo Han refined, they were really effective. One pill down, and all distracting thoughts vanished. Not only could he quickly enter a state during cultivation, but even his sleep was much better. Luo Xing slept soundly every time until broad daylight.

'It seems my sister put all her culinary skill points into alchemy. Good, really good.'

"Come with your master to a place tomorrow." Ye Li put down the wine jug and said to Luo Xing, "Your master will help you break through."

"Uh... huh?"

"What? Unwilling?"

Luo Xing quickly waved his hands: "Willing, willing! Thank you, Master!"

'Sigh...

'This woman... wants to help me cultivate?

'Since when is she so kind?

'Something's off. There's a catch...

'Don't get excited too soon. Let's see...'

"Hmm..." Ye Li shook the wine jug and saw there were still two mouthfuls left inside. She was about to finish them, but on second thought, she suddenly felt playful and smiled at Luo Xing, "Keep your master company for a drink?"

"Ah? No no... no way!" Luo Xing quickly shook his head. "Master, you know my alcohol tolerance... one cup and I'm done..."

And when he drank too much, he easily made a drunken fool of himself. His dark history was still stored with Ye Li...

'Tch...

'This woman wants to record my dark history again...'

"So you remember." Ye Li snorted softly and downed the wine in her jug. "See if you dare to drink again next time."

Luo Xing: "..."

'You need to be fair when you talk?!

'He had only gotten drunk three times in total! Twice were forced by you, Ye Li! The remaining time was forced by your friend!

'Which time was he willing?'

While Luo Xing was silently complaining about Ye Li in his mind, Ye Li was also thinking about how Luo Xing looked the last time he got drunk...

Obedient, well-behaved. Except that he mistook her for two different people, she quite liked that version of Luo Xing...

Foolish appearance...

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the young man in front of her...

'If I made him a fool...

'Would he be silly and obedient forever...'

Luo Xing, who was eating, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was thinking of doing something bad to him...

---

The next day, three hundred miles east of the Xuantian Sect.

As Luo Xing's cultivation improved, sword flight was no longer so embarrassing.

At least...

He didn't have to hang from Ye Li's waist anymore.

The giant sword slowly landed in the valley. Luo Xing, standing behind the sword, looked around.

The deep valley was surrounded on all sides by towering green peaks. Inside the valley, there was no sign of human habitation, but it was filled with spiritual flowers and grasses, their fragrance soothing to the heart.

Besides that, a faint white mist permeated the valley. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be spiritual energy so dense it had condensed into white mist.

Before Luo Xing could marvel at the rich spiritual energy here, his eyes caught sight of several pools of water hidden among the dense spiritual plants. Even as ignorant as he was, he recognized those pools as spiritual springs. The mist formed from spiritual energy was drifting from the surface of the pools.

What is this?

A hot spring?

She really came to help him cultivate?!

As a transmigrator, Luo Xing suddenly thought of some unlikely and unhealthy scenes, and his face instantly turned bright red...

He vaguely remembered a boring summer. After finishing his elementary school summer homework, he turned on the TV at home, and on the screen, a monk appeared shouting "Great Might Heavenly Dragon"...

"This place is a spiritual spring hot spring I discovered a hundred years ago." Ye Li, naturally unaware of Luo Xing's current state and thoughts, explained calmly, "The spiritual energy here is rich and gentle, just right for your breakthrough."

Two hundred years ago, she accidentally discovered these few springs in the valley. Seeing that the place was untouched, with rich spiritual energy and comfortable water, she took a liking to it. Whenever she had nothing to do or felt troubled, she would come here for a soak.

After the flying sword landed, she waved her slender hand and removed the twelve "Tyrant Sword" killing intents she had set here.

She didn't have the habit of sharing with others, so every time she left, she would set up twelve Tyrant Sword killing intents. Anyone below the Mahayana stage who touched them would surely die.

Although she had effectively monopolized this treasure land, this was the rule of the cultivation world—rules set by the strong.

If you had the ability to break these twelve killing intents, go right in. If not, endure it.

"Although the spiritual energy here is... what's wrong with you?" Ye Li was about to tell Luo Xing some precautions, but when she turned her head, she saw his face red to the neck. "Why is your face so red?"

"Ah? What do you mean, red?" Luo Xing panted, touching his face. "It... it must be from the steam... hahaha... it's too hot here... so hot..."

'Stupid brain!

'Stop thinking!

'Stop it right now!'

Ye Li was a bit puzzled, but seeing Luo Xing's flushed face and the way he tugged at his collar to fan himself, she thought he was overwhelmed by the dense spiritual energy here...

'Tch...

'Still a bit useless...

'Maybe it's more suitable to be a servant or attendant...'

"Although the spiritual energy here is rich, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing..." Ye Li said seriously. "With your current aptitude, staying here too long will do you more harm than good. So break through and get out as soon as possible, otherwise, you'll end up like you are now."

Luo Xing: "..."

'Oh... oh~ So that's it!

'So his face was red, he was hot, his heart was racing, and he was panting, not because of his wild thoughts, but because of the dense spiritual energy here!

'So that's it!

'Then he could rest assured!

'He could rest assured then!

'Hahaha...'
