Chapter 20 Promoted To The Fourth Floor Of Qi Refining, Taking Concubine Mu Ziyan
Chapter 20: Promotion to the Fourth Level of Qi Refining, Taking a Concubine, Mu ZiyanIn the blink of an eye, another day had passed. It was late at night, and the outside was still calm."I'm sorry, husband. My monthly period has come, so I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you tonight," Ji Bingyu said apologetically."It's okay," Zhou Sui waved his hand, comforting her.Although he was used to cultivating with his Dao companion at night, taking a break occasionally was fine."This won't do. If I can't serve you, it's my failure as a wife. So, husband, you should take a concubine. It can replace me and take care of you when I'm not feeling well," Ji Bingyu proposed.What?!Hearing this, Zhou Sui was dumbfounded. Even with his rich imagination, he never expected Ji Bingyu to suggest such a thing. It was beyond his imagination.It was the first time he heard his wife voluntarily suggesting that he take a concubine."This might not be appropriate," Zhou Sui hesitated, swallowing his saliva."Husband, I know you love me, but as a wife, if I can't serve you, it's my failure. It's impossible to expect a powerful cultivator to have only one woman for a lifetime," Ji Bingyu said seriously."So, I've already started looking for a suitable concubine for you."This!Zhou Sui was dumbfounded. What kind of ideas had this wicked cultivation world instilled in these female cultivators? Not only did his Dao companion suggest him taking a concubine, but she had already found a suitable candidate.For a moment, he didn't know what to say, except that Ji Bingyu was indeed a good Dao companion."Cough, if that's the case, who did you choose as the concubine?" Zhou Sui curiously asked."What about Mu Ziyan?" Ji Bingyu smiled slightly. "She's my younger sister whom I've known for many years. She has a gentle personality, exquisite beauty, and a good figure. She can take care of you in my place. Besides, you already know each other, so there won't be any barriers.""But is she willing?" Zhou Sui blinked his eyes."Of course she is. I talked to her today, and she agreed without hesitation. I believe your charm has deeply attracted her, which is why she didn't refuse," Ji Bingyu chuckled.With a click, at this moment, Mu Ziyan opened the door and walked into the room, blushing and unable to look directly at Zhou Sui, extremely shy."Alright, I won't disturb you anymore," Ji Bingyu smiled slightly and left the room, leaving only Zhou Sui and Mu Ziyan....Time flew by, and soon it was morning.At this moment, a message instantly entered Zhou Sui's satisfied consciousness."You and your Dao companion Mu Ziyan cultivated together seven times last night, and your hearts were connected, filled with love.""You have gained a certain level of experience in talisman dao.""Your spiritual root aptitude has been improved to a certain extent.""You have gained the power of the opponent's Yin Yuan, and your cultivation has been enhanced, advancing to the fourth level of Qi Refining."In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed a tremendous energy that instantly helped him break through a bottleneck, opening up one of his meridians and greatly enhancing his true elemental power.Compared to before, his true elemental power has increased by at least double.There is no doubt that reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining means stepping into the mid-stage of Qi Refining, no longer being categorized as a weak cultivator.Even in Misty Cloud City, this level of cultivation is already beyond the realm of low-level cultivators.Now he understands why the mid-stage of Qi Refining is so much stronger than the early stage. Not only has his body undergone astonishing strengthening, but more importantly, the true elemental power within him has become more abundant by more than double.Just the overwhelming power of his true elemental force is enough to kill four or five cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining.He senses the abundant true elemental power flowing through his meridians, filling his entire body with immense strength."I didn't expect to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining so quickly."Zhou Sui felt very delighted.Because according to his estimation, if he were to cultivate normally, it would take at least several years to break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.After all, this is a significant bottleneck. Even with an eighth-grade spiritual root aptitude, it would still require a considerable amount of time to break through the bottleneck.But now, after obtaining Mu Ziyan's Yin Yuan power, he instantly broke through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi Refining, greatly advancing his cultivation."Congratulations, my lord, for advancing to the fourth level of Qi Refining and becoming a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator."At this moment, Mu Ziyan also sensed the change in Zhou Sui's aura and immediately exclaimed excitedly."It's all thanks to you, Ziyan. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have made such a rapid breakthrough."Zhou Sui sighed."No, no, it's all thanks to my lord's amazing talent and accumulation. I only helped a little, it's really nothing."Mu Ziyan blushed, feeling extremely pleased inside. It seems that receiving praise from Zhou Sui is the greatest credit she could ask for."But are you really willing to become my concubine? Wouldn't that be unfair to you?"Zhou Sui asked."No, no, it's not unfair at all. I am actually very happy because someone like me, with my background, being able to marry my lord is a great honor."Mu Ziyan looked at Zhou Sui with watery eyes."Someone like you? Right, it's been such a long time, and I haven't heard Ziyan mention her background."Zhou Sui curiously asked, wanting to know Mu Ziyan's background."There's nothing much to say about my background. I was born in the Mu family, which is located thousands of miles away from Misty Cloud City. It is a Foundation Building family, and I am just a daughter born to a concubine in the Mu family."Mu Ziyan began to talk about her past experiences. "Of course, even though I am a concubine's daughter, I still have spiritual roots, and my treatment is not particularly bad. I am given ample resources.""But who could have expected that it was all a facade. When I turned eighteen, the Mu family suddenly made a decision to marry me off to the head of another Foundation Building family, the Liu family.""That family head is also a Foundation Building cultivator, but he is already an old man in his two hundreds, nearing the end of his life. Naturally, I didn't want to fall into that pit.""The problem is, as a daughter of a concubine in the Mu family, I am not allowed to resist the Mu family's orders and was forced to marry him. Just when I was in despair, Sister Ji appeared and saved me, taking me away from the Mu family.""Even though the Mu family was furious, they couldn't do anything to me anymore.""Since then, I have been following Sister Ji, venturing into the world of cultivation. So Sister Ji is my savior, giving me a chance to start anew."She briefly talked about her past experiences. Currently, she is twenty-nine years old and has a sixth-grade spiritual root aptitude.She is also a first-order high-grade talisman master.It can be said that she is a genuine talisman genius.(End of this chapter)
