Chapter 7 - Breaking Through Five Levels In A Day

"Hai…."

Li Yu stretched joyfully as he got out of bed.

Last night's sleep could be said to be the best one Li Yu had ever had in his entire life.

"Young master, are you awake?" A beautiful voice that sounded like that of an angel, whispers barely audible as if scared that she would wake him up if she talked a little louder.

Li Yu smiled happily and rearranged his crumbled cloth and scattered hair.

He took his seat on the bed he just stand which was still neat and looked like one that wasn't touched at all.

"You may come in," he replied elegantly.

"Good morning, young master."

Little Liu looked at his master's face fascinatingly.

She had been too excited since yesterday when her master told her that he wanted to start cultivation.

She was out of her soul delighted that she couldn't sleep nor cultivate throughout the night, she just kept rolling around on her bed.

With a gentle smile on his face, Li Yu nodded quietly.

"How did your cultivation goes, young master?" She inquired happily.

Although she knew that it was just too fast to be asking for the result now, as she herself had experienced how hard it was to get any result from cultivation.

Yet she couldn't just keep herself from asking.

"Oh!! I've reached the second level of Qi Gathering realm," Li Yu responded nonchalantly, but laughing happily in his mind as he waited impatiently to see his maid's reaction.

And as expected.

"Hun?!"

Little Liu's eyes suddenly widened in shock as she heard her master, she couldn't help but find why he said unbelievable."

'Maybe I'm the I'm the one who heard wrong,' she justified.

"I'm just too inept and has low potential that I couldn't go beyond the second level of Qi Gathering Realm," Li Yu emphasized his words again, but this time with a self-pity expression on his face.

The shock Little Liu felt immediately reached its peak, she couldn't help but widen the already widened mouth to the extent that it formed a huge O shape.

Little Liu suddenly rushed to her master's side and took his arm into hers.

She sent a tiny bit of energy into it, to sense if what her master said was the truth.

"You- you- what- what, how-"

She wanted to say anything at this moment, but unfortunately, she just couldn't form any coherent statement, as her tongue had become tied to her mouth.

Showing a shameful look on his face, Li Yu responded unhappily.

"Sigh, I know what you wanted to say, you wanted to say that your master's aptitude is too poor, right?"

Little Liu suddenly felt like giving this shameless master of hers a loud smack on his face, but she immediately rebuked the thought.

She just couldn't react for a long time, and when she finally does, she began to feel as if she had wasted her life.

She could remember that she had trained for almost six months during her time before she could open her first dantian, but look at her master, he had done times two of that within just a single night.

Li Yu was literally laughing happily in his mind at this moment, as he knew just how shocking it was to perform such a feat.

He too could not believe it for a long time after he had performed the feat, so he was not surprised at all by little Liu's stunned reaction.

What he was doing down was only to pull her legs.

"Master," Little Liu suddenly called out after what would take for the quarter of a candle stick to be burnt.

"Yes…"

"Nobody would have known you were such a freak.

Li Yu was suddenly shocked when he heard what Little Liu called him.

"You- you brat, how dare you call me a freak?"

He asked with a faked angered expression.

"hehehe," Little Liu laughed awkwardly and apologized.

And like that, Little Liu began to sing praises of her master's talent.

Li Yu had even begun to feel embarrassed by this.

…..

Li Yu was currently seating cross-legged in a meditative position under a peach tree in his courtyard.

He had been in this position for several hours already, and he had already broken through five levels, making him reach the seventh level of Qi gathering realm.

Little Liu that had been standing guard beside him since the beginning had already become numbed to this scene.

She almost felt like taking her own life when she saw how her master had been having breakthrough after breakthrough.

Her master had reached a realm that had taken her more than 4 years to reach in just several hours.

She had also realized that what her master was practicing does not look like the Li clan's diamond body sutra or any techniques she knows of.

Although she was curious, she did not think much about it.

Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes happily and stretched lazily.

He had already come up with an analysis of his exceedingly fast breakthrough by now.

He realized that the technique he was practicing and something in this body must have something to do with it.

"Little Liu, I'm famishing," Li Yu let out as he breathed out a murky air.

"Little Liu," Li Yu called out again when he realized that she was standing stunned there and not reacting to his call at all.

"Hun- hun," She suddenly answered like someone who had just regained her lost soul.

Li Yu smiled quietly about this but decided not to go into it, as he already know the cause.

"I said I'm finishing?"

"Oh…" she replied expressionlessly.

"Ha… oh, I'm sorry young master," As if she just heard her master.

She felt deeply embarrassed by the way she reacted.

"Where are you going?" Li Yu suddenly asked speechlessly when he saw Little Liu walking away lifelessly.

"Hun, I'm going to prepare meals for you,"

She looked at Li Yu as if looking at a dumbo.

Li Yu sighed frustratingly.

"When did I tell you to go prepare meals?"

"Hun?!"

"We're going to plum blossom inn."

"What?! Would that not cause patriarch to be mad at you?!"

"Don't worry about that, father is too busy now to take notice of me."

"But what if the people that poisoned you had laid a trap for you?!"

Concerns were written all over Little Liu's beautiful face as she spoke.

"No, they won't. They would stay in hiding for now, moreover, I have you right, if they do really come."

Little Liu smiled in embarrassment.

"Alright master, I will go prepare the carriage."

"No- no, I'm not taking the carriage, I want to take a stroll around to stretch myself."

Then Li Yu stood up and patted the back of his cloth, then together with Little Liu, they strode out gracefully from the courtyard, just like an immortal couple.
