After a while, students began arriving in the classroom one after another.
Fang Ren looked at Bai Qi, who was still asleep next to him, and gently nudged her arm again.
"Hmm?"
Bai Qi woke up again, her face blurry with sleep, looking at Fang Ren with panda eyes, and said, "Is it ti for lunch?"
"..."
Fang Ren was stunned by her words. Ever since he had t this girl, she had never been fully satiated when coming to et him--always thinking about eating!
"No, go back to sleep. When you wake up, it'll be ti to eat."
"Okay."
Thump--
Saying that, Bai Qi promptly fell asleep again,
Fang Ren had a vein pop in frustration. The reason he touched Bai Qi was to test whether she would sleep soundly and not wake up; otherwise, it would be troubleso if she slept from now until evening.
Fortunately, Bai Qi was still a practitioner at the Peak of Azure Sky Realm, and even with the dispersed spirit mark on her body, her subconscious alertness remained. A light touch would wake her up.
After so ti, Fang Ren saw Liu Qianqian at the classroom entrance. Her appearance today was sowhat special. While her face was still free of makeup, she looked even more beautiful than before, yet her expression remained impassive, giving her an air of cold beauty.
Unlike her usual youthful vigor.
It seems that she must have consud that fruit last night. However, Fang Ren currently couldn't perceive any fluctuations of True Qi in her body, which clearly ant she hadn't broken through the most basic Realm yet.
"Class is about to start, why aren't you going in?" Liu Qianqian ca to Fang Ren and spoke.
"Oh, Jian Qi'er asked to help her ask you for leave. She has a fever," Fang Ren said.
"I got it." Liu Qianqian turned around to enter the classroom.
"Wait." Fang Ren stopped her and whispered, "Did you gain anything after eating that fruit last night?"
Liu Qianqian glanced around and noticed that Li Xinyue and the other two sisters from her dorm were looking in their direction, incessantly signaling her with their eyes.
It was as if they were telling her to stay away from the jerk.
Liu Qianqian walked a few steps down the stairs, creating so distance from her classmates, and Fang Ren followed.
"I obtained a Cultivation Technique called 'Heavenly Primordial Star Scroll,' and then my Spirit Embryo suddenly ca to life like it had started to nourish my body and was continuously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth's Qi," Liu Qianqian said.
"Heaven and Earth's Qi?"
Fang Ren was taken aback and closed his eyes to open his heart vision, but when he did, he was astounded.
All he saw was Heaven and Earth's Qi within dozens of ters around them converging upon Liu Qianqian. The colossal energy ford a giant vortex with Liu Qianqian standing at its center, and the Qi continuously flowed into her Spirit Embryo.
As Qianye's inscriptions stated, her ridians were like conduits to the surrounding Heaven and Earth, unwilling to remain inside the body and invisible to the naked eye.
This was the Qi of Heaven and Earth! It contained many energies that practitioners were unable to use; only the Spiritual Energy could be refined for personal use, while the rest of the Qi had to be discarded!
Liu Qianqian could absorb all the energies within and utilize them.
This... If she were to use her True Qi for offense, how powerful could it be?
Fang Ren opened his eyes in shock and said, "Speaking of which, do you feel like you're on the verge of a breakthrough?"
"Not right now, I just had one last night," Liu Qianqian replied.
"What? You broke through?" Fang Ren was dumbfounded. "Then why can't I sense your Cultivation Realm?"
Liu Qianqian blinked, and suddenly the Heaven and Earth's Qi within her surged forth.
Hum--
Fang Ren was less than half a ter away from her, and as the Qi radiated from her, he felt as if his surroundings had beco heavy.
"Peak of the Qi Gathering Stage!?"
Fang Ren was completely dumbstruck.
One must realize that Liu Qianqian was just an ordinary human yesterday morning! Overnight, she went from being an ordinary person to the Peak of the Qi Gathering Stage!
It had taken Fang Ren nearly a week to suddenly reach the Peak of Intense Concentration, and although he was one realm higher than Liu Qianqian, her speed was certainly much faster than his.
As the Qi of Heaven and Earth surged out, Fang Ren felt as though he was weighed down by a layer of air several tens of pounds heavy.
Although a few dozen pounds weren't much for Fang Ren, Liu Qianqian was just starting her cultivation and was rely a little practitioner at the Peak of the Qi Gathering Stage. What if she were at the sa realm as him... How heavy would that qi presence be?
Is this the pressure of Heaven and Earth's Qi? It's not at all comparable to ordinary True Qi!
Liu Qianqian imdiately retracted her Qi and said, "Last night, I was sleeping, and suddenly I felt a pain in my lower abdon, and then I discovered I had broken through."
"..."
Fang Ren blinked, speechless. It was just a night's sleep, and she had already broken through? Was there no rcy left for those so-called talents in Tianjiang?
"You... are the true genius..." Fang Ren said, stunned.
Liu Qianqian glanced at him, her face expressionless as she spoke, "No matter the talent, it was all thanks to you."
Fang Ren smiled, "I said I would help you, so of course I'll see it through to the end."
"But no matter how gifted I am, Master Qingan won't regard highly, right?" Liu Qianqian looked at him and said.
Fang Ren's smile stiffened, "We said all that was in the past."
"It's a pity I can't move on," Liu Qianqian replied. "I never thought of getting back together with you. I just wanted you to find joy with soone you like."
"You just manage your own fate well, I can handle my own matters," Fang Ren said.
"The decision on this matter is mine to make. You don't like , so are you saying that I'm not allowed to like you?"
Liu Qianqian said, turning her head directly back to the classroom. Fang Ren stood where he was, sighed helplessly. Life was full of regrets, and so people and things were simply beyond one's control.
Seeing Liu Qianqian's condition, Fang Ren also felt sowhat reassured. Her Heaven and Earth's Qi seed to not expose her realm as long as she didn't actively use it, which was a small ability that could be very beneficial to her.
"Qianye," Fang Ren called out to the little Qianye inside his body.
"Heiha?"
The little Qianye suddenly popped out of his Spiritual Root and landed on his hand with a puzzled look on its face.
"Will she beco very strong in the future?" Fang Ren asked, looking at his class.
"Heiha!"
Little Qianye vigorously nodded its head, extending two twigs from the top, then one twig carved several words on the other: Destined to beco an Immortal.
"Immortal?" Fang Ren frowned, "What kind of level is that?"
Little Qianye then carved a few more words on the twig: Eternal life, travels through Ten Thousand Realms.
"..."
Fang Ren broke into a cold sweat; the evaluation in those eight words was sowhat too terrifying and far exceeded his understanding.
Since the opening of the Great Cultivation Era on Earth to the present day, realms had been defined by humans themselves, who after careful speculation had nad each layer.
The so-called Fractured Void Stage was the highest realm deduced by humans, and it was said that those who reached that realm could shatter the void and grant Earth a peaceful holand.
But the Cultivation Era on Earth had only begun 210 years ago; no one knew what other worlds looked like, or how realms were divided there.
"Much stronger than the Fractured Void Stage?" Fang Ren asked.
Little Qianye continued to carve: Very, very much stronger.
"..."
Fang Ren was dumbfounded. Had he really created a goddess who could transcend worlds?
Little Qianye, seeing his dumbfounded look, promptly patted his hand and carved: Master will be stronger than her.
"Ga?" Fang Ren raised an eyebrow, "Why do I feel... you're freaking lying to ."
"Heiha heiha!"
The mont it heard what he said, Little Qianye imdiately beca agitated, angrily sitting in the palm of his hand, turning its face away from him in a huff.
"Hey hey hey, just kidding," Fang Ren said with a chuckle, patting its head. "After all, you're my Spirit Form, how could you possibly lie to ? But in the future, don't ntion things I've already clearly understood. I, your master, love to keep a low profile."
"Heiha?"
Little Qianye disdainfully rolled its eyes at him.
As the class ti was approaching, just when Fang Ren was about to return to the classroom, Lin Bozhong also seed to have run over from sowhere.
"Young Master, the dicinal ingredients you asked to buy yesterday, I've already prepared them for you," Lin Bozhong said, smiling as he lifted the small bag in his hand.
"So soon?" Fang Ren was taken aback.
"Of course, anything you request, I will make sure to get it done for you as soon as possible," said Lin Bozhong.
"How much does it cost?"
"What are you joking about, Young Master? You want to pay for buying a few dicinal ingredients?"
"That's different, we need to separate each account," Fang Ren said, "If you don't take the money, I will go myself no matter how inconvenient it is next ti."
"But Young Master, the money for the dicinal ingredients wasn't even my own. It was the Fang Family's," explained Lin Bozhong.
"The Fang Family's? Then you help return the money to them. If they don't take it, I will just return the dicinal ingredients myself. I don't want to owe the Fang Family anything," said Fang Ren with a serious look.
"Young Master, you this..."
"Just tell how much it is. If you miss even a single penny, don't stay at my side anymore and hurry back," Fang Ren said.
Seeing how serious he was, Lin Bozhong had no choice but to report the cost of the dicinal ingredients honestly, and then he accepted the money from Fang Ren.
After all, the Young Master wasn't lacking in money. An Alchemist who could concoct fifth-order elixirs, fearful of being short on cash? That would be a joke.
"By the way, do another favor," Fang Ren said as he took out a box from his Space Ring and handed it to Lin Bozhong. "Inside are four fifth-order elixirs and six fourth-order elixirs. Take these items to Tianjiang for an auction. Also, pick any one fifth-order for yourself to keep and use."
"Ga!?" Lin Bozhong's aged face went blank, almost dropping his jaw to the floor when he heard that all of them were fifth-order elixirs.
"Four...Four fifth-order!?"
"Made them when I was bored recently, don't tell the Fang Family about it," Fang Ren said.
"Just... just made them when you were bored?"
Lin Bozhong's jaw was practically dragging on the ground, his old eyes widening.
"Get going to the auction quickly. Rember, you must do this yourself," Fang Ren said.
"Such valuable items! I must go myself to be at ease!" said Lin Bozhong with a solemn face. "But... I also need to protect your safety, Young Master."
"The entire Tianjiang Investigation Group is protecting , what are you protecting?" Fang Ren frowned.
"That's true... After all, you are the fiance of the princess," Lin Bozhong agreed.
"Hurry up and go, I'm in urgent need of money," Fang Ren said.
"Alright, I will rush to Tianjiang imdiately! I will not fail in my mission!" Lin Bozhong promised.
...
Shortly after Lin Bozhong left, Fang Ren stood there with a smile in his heart.
Making the old man leave was an easy task, wasn't it?
But on second thought, he didn't want Lin Bozhong to interfere in his affairs, and also, he didn't want to see the old man, who had been so good to him, get hurt.
It was also a way of protecting him.
