Chapter 258: Young Master Qi, Why Do You Have Spiritual Energy Inside You?

In the apartment, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief when Qi Zhenbai left all of a sudden. She went back to her room and studied alchemy for a while. Just as she was about to cultivate, she received two messages from Qi Hao.

Chi Shuyan had originally planned to settle accounts with this guy, who had dug a pit for her and Qi Zhenbai. However, his messages now were all in defense of her, and Chi Shuyan was really quite touched. Forget it, she wouldn’t argue with this brat. The relations.h.i.+p would have been exposed sooner or later anyway; it didn’t matter if it was exposed sooner.

However, her eyes lingered on the first message for a while longer before she replied: Okay, I understand!

Chi Shuyan didn’t like making groundless accusations to begin with. Besides, she still trusted that man, Qi Zhenbai. Of course, if that man fell in love with someone else, he wouldn’t be worthy of her feelings. It wasn’t her style to be indecisive.

Over at the Qi family, Qi Hao thought that his sister-in-law would call him directly and ask him a few questions about his brother. Qi Hao was also prepared to take the opportunity to say more good things about his brother, so when his brother wanted to hit him again, he would use this as a s.h.i.+eld.

In any case, he now knew that his brother’s weakness was his sister-in-law.

It was just that Qi Hao waited for a while, but his sister-in-law didn’t ask him any questions, and only replied with such a casual sentence. Was that it?

Qi Hao immediately replied obsequiously: Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll watch my brother for you! I hope you can put in a good word for me in front of my brother in the future! Please, please! It hurts too much when my brother hits me!

Chi Shuyan glanced at the message and chuckled. No problem!

Chi Shuyan put down her phone and turned it off. She cast a barrier to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, then sat cross-legged on the bed to condense energy together as she cultivated the second level of the Mystic Yin Arts. Very quickly, she sensed that the low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill she had refined before was actually very effective. Because the impurities had been removed from her body, she clearly felt that her meridians had expanded a lot. Before, they could only take in a thumb’s width worth of spiritual energy. Now, they had expanded by half the size, and thick spiritual energy swirled through her body and flowed into her limbs and bones, making her feel very comfortable.

It was just that there was too little spiritual energy on Earth. After a full cultivation cycle, Chi Shuyan made up her mind to study the Spirit Gathering Array. The Spirit Gathering Array and the Teleportation Array were the two arrays that were specifically mentioned when she looked at refining the Spirit Gathering Pill.

If she had the Spirit Gathering Array, her cultivation path should become a lot smoother.

On the other side, in the study at the Qi family residence, the Qi family patriarch and Perfected Zhang got along well since they had mutual interests. Even if Perfected Zhang had been invited over by the Qi family patriarch, this century-old family was blessed with profound fortune and had even produced Zhenbai, who was shrouded in a purple aura. Perfected Zhang didn’t dare offend him easily. Going against a favored son of the heavens like Qi Zhenbai was simply courting death.

Moreover, it was the Qi family that was funding Longhu Mountain.

If the Qi family withdrew their funding, the consequences for Longhu Mountain would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the Qi family was sincere, and Perfected Zhang and the Qi family patriarch had quite a lot in common, so Perfected Zhang was very willing to tend to Qi Zhenbai’s health.

Moreover, coming into contact with someone like Qi Zhenbai, who was shrouded in a purple aura and favored by the heavens, was also very good for his cultivation path. Touching the purple aura occasionally made his cultivation even smoother.

When Qi Zhenbai came in, the Qi family patriarch waved for Perfected Zhang to take a look at him. Although this child normally wasn’t frail like an ordinary person, it was terrifying and torturous when his cold ailment flared up.

Perfected Zhang was very surprised by Qi Zhenbai’s unexpectedly rosy face. Perfected Zhang first asked curiously, “Young Master Qi, has your ailment been acting up recently?”

“No!”

“Can I take your pulse?” Perfected Zhang asked.

Qi Zhenbai hesitated for a moment, and only stretched out his hand when he saw his grandfather’s worried face. Perfected Zhang felt his pulse and quickly sensed fairly dense spiritual energy inside his body. Perfected Zhang was startled. No wonder Zhenbai’s face looked better. But where did this dense and pure spiritual energy come from?

This spiritual energy was so dense and pure that even he was a little greedy but also alarmed. There was pitifully little spiritual energy left nowadays. Their Longhu Mountain had always been able to last not only because of the Qi family’s support, but most importantly, they discovered a spirit mine in Longhu Mountain’s veins a hundred years ago. Now that the spirit mine was almost used up, they were planning to find another one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy to find a spirit mine.

Only those super reclusive families who cultivated ancient martial arts had a few rich spirit mines. Without batting an eyelid, Perfected Zhang asked, “Young Master Qi, what have you been eating recently? Why do I sense an abundance of spiritual energy in your body?”
