Chapter 64: 64 - breakthrough After marking Elize as his woman, Qingyi helped her clean up the kitchen and finish breakfast, eating with the excited women. The taste was divine, as always, and he was soon surrounded by curious beauties. "So, young master Qingyi, what’s the main land like?" "Is it true that there are experts who can fly through the skies?" "I saw in a book in the temple library that there are experts who have lived there for thousands of years!" "Well..." Qingyi raised his hands before letting out a long sigh. They were like children who had just seen an Alien. He spent the rest of the morning answering the beauties, who only left him alone when Elize and Yueli scolded them, making them run off to train. ’Ah... if only my Feiyan were here...’ Qingyi smiled as she observed the delicate backs of the priestesses. It was a good place to live, the climate was pleasant, with a gentle breeze always blowing. In the end, he just shook his head and went straight back to the small room the girls had set aside for him. There, he immediately opened his status. [Name: Long Qingyi Age: 18 Cultivation: First stage of the foundation realm (500 lust points to upgrade) Affinities: Lightning 60 - Sword: 60 - Charm: 1000 (can be upgraded in the lust store) Spiritual roots: Fifth level lightning sword root (100 lust points to upgrade, new roots can be bought in the lust store) Lineage: Blood of the corruption dragon god (Rare grade, 10,000 lust points to upgrade.) Constitution: Body of the primordial dragon (Rare grade, 10,000 lust points to upgrade.) Lust points: 2737] The lust points he had received from fucking Elize weren’t exactly incredible. Even though her talent was high, the difference in power was too great, with him barely getting enough points to pay for the two high-level recovery pills he had bought. Still, it had been more than worth it. "Hm..." Qingyi exhaled as he tried to decide what to do. ’Maybe increase my affinity?’ He thought, but wiped it from his mind the moment he saw the prices of affinity-boosting pills. It simply wasn’t worth it. With that, he had two options: his level of cultivation and his spiritual roots. The first was something necessary, his base was already solid and he felt ready to advance to the next level. As for the second, it was something he had been fighting the urge to improve for a long time. Now, away from the sect, he really had no reason not to improve it. Sighing heavily, he clicked on improve cultivation, 500 lust points disappearing. [Starting breakthrough to the second stage of the foundation realm] The system warned him, and in the next moment, Qingyi felt his body burn. It wasn’t as intense as his breakthrough from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Realm, but it was still quite painful. His muscles tore, his veins pulsing beneath his pale skin as an explosion of Qi spread through his body. He gritted his teeth, controlling the flow of Qi and preventing it from overflowing. Breakthroughs were really what he hated most about the system. It was like advancing normally, but ten times more painful. After long, suffering minutes, he exhaled, scalding steam leaving his mouth as he stood up. His power had increased by at least twenty percent and most of the damage to his meridians seemed to have been healed. Stabilizing his Qi, he finally improved his spiritual roots, already preparing for pain. The next moment, he felt his meridians breaking down and his Dantian shuddering. Obviously, everything related to the circulation of Qi had to be rebuilt. "Damn it, system, don’t you have any analgesics with you?" he said through clenched teeth, trying to control his breathing. [They exist, but they won’t have any effect on this pain] "Ugh... shit!" [Spiritual root increased from level 5 -> 6] A notification finally came to his mind, but Qingyi still wasn’t happy. His eyes shone with a sinister light as he clicked to evolve his spirit root again. The pain was horrible, the coloring of his skin had taken on a sickly red as every bit of him screamed in agony. But he endured. It was the path of cultivation, suffering was part of it. [Spiritual root increased from level 6 -> 7] He immediately felt the difference as he tried to calm his Qi. His meridians seemed to have expanded much more. The amount of Qi he could transport through them hadn’t changed too much, but the amount of Qi he could absorb from his surroundings had more than doubled. It was a unique sensation, his bloodline and fused spiritual root had already greatly increased his sensitivity to Qi, but now, it was almost as if he could touch it. He inhaled deeply and the Qi around him trembled, his meridians sucking it all in like a bottomless pit. "Damn, why did it take me so long to do that?" Qingyi asked himself in amazement. It would have been better just to make up any excuse for Elder Tian in case he discovered the improvement in his spiritual root. "Ah... it doesn’t matter now..." Qingyi shook his head. He had spent five hundred points to improve his cultivation, another 600 to improve his spiritual root twice. This left him with around 1637 points. [Name: Long Qingyi Age: 18 Cultivation: First stage of the foundation realm. (700 lust points to improve) Affinities: Lightning: 60 - Sword: 60 - Charm: 1000. (can be improved in the lust store) Spiritual roots: Seventh level lightning sword root. (1000 lust points to improve, new roots can be bought in the lust store. ) Lineage: Blood of the corruption dragon god (Rare grade, 10,000 lust points to upgrade.) Constitution: Body of the primordial dragon (Rare grade, 10,000 lust points to upgrade.) Lust points: 1637] Looking at his status for a brief moment, he decided not to spend any more and let his body recover first. Getting up from his bed, he picked up the sword he had received from Yueli, hearing a commotion outside. It was time for the girls’ training, and he didn’t want to miss the sight of their thin, wet dresses sticking to their bodies. *** "Big Sister Elize, the girls are being mean to me again!" One of the younger women shouted, running across the courtyard. Behind her, two mature, voluptuous women followed. "I won’t do anything weird with your hair this time, I promise!" One of the milfs shouted, her breasts swaying heavily with each hurried step. "Girls, calm down!" Elize said as they ran towards her. A soft cry escaped her lips as the young woman hit her chest, sinking between the huge, heavy twin mountains. Her delicate torso bent slightly as she stumbled backwards, her eyes widening. That kind of fall was nothing for a cultivator, but she was still frightened. Fortunately, at the last second, she felt strong hands grab her slender waist. Fingers sank into the soft skin of her slim belly as her head bumped gently against a firm, masculine chest. "Is everything all right?" Qingyi asked, smiling gently. "Ah... husb- I mean, Young Master Qingyi... thank you!" Elize recovered quickly, her face flushed. "Sister Elize, is everything all right? I’m sorry!" The young woman spoke, her eyes watering as she hugged Elize, the other two also apologizing.
