C19 Houtian Seventh Stage
"What's going on?"
Qin Yi was surprised and quickly checked the situation in his body, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
The Peony Heart Meridian's internal energy was still there, and it was not uncontrollable. However, the internal energy of the Withering Wood Method that he had just cultivated was indeed gone, it was as if he had not cultivated it at all.
Qin Yi frowned as he had a bad premonition. While the medicinal strength was still present, he hurriedly continued to circulate his cultivation technique. Soon, a new inner force of the Withering Wood Method appeared in his body.
This time, Qin Yi did not dare to be distracted, as he kept observing the situation. Then, he realized that what he previously said was not an illusion.
The moment the inner strength of the Withering Wood Method was generated, the originally quiet inner strength of the Peony Heart Meridian suddenly shook, and then the inner strength generated by the Withered Wood Method was swallowed!
Qin Yi was unwilling to accept this. He used the remaining medicinal power to cultivate another wave of inner strength. However, the result remained the same.
"This, can't he cultivate?"
Qin Yi stood up from the ground in a daze. The medicinal properties of the medicinal liquid had been completely used up, so even if he wanted to cultivate again, he couldn't do it now. Furthermore, even if there was another bottle of solution, it would be of no use at all.
Previously, when he was cultivating his Peony Heart Meridian in the Longevity Gang courtyard, he did not have such a situation. At that time, he also had the internal energy cultivated by the original owner in his body, so there was no such thing as devouring him, and it was very easy to fuse the two types of internal energy into one.
It could have been then, but why not now?
Could it be that the level of the Withering Wood Method was not as high as the Peony Heart Meridian? Or maybe one yin and one yang, their attributes did not match? Or was it because I didn't have the talent to practice the cold yin cultivation method? Or was there a problem with this mantra?
Qin Yi was unable to determine what kind of situation this was. He could not help but regret that he didn't practice this Heart Sutra when Chu Xuemei was around, otherwise, he could ask for guidance from her.
Qin Yi couldn't come up with anything even after thinking for a long time, so he could only put it aside for now and cultivate other spells.
The next morning.
Qin Yi had a sumptuous breakfast under the care of the two maids Peach and Green. Of course, the same went for the maids of Chu Lingyan, who had bowed to him before.
The maid was called Thrushcross, and she was eighteen years old.
This girl was as pretty as a painting. Although she wasn't as elegant as Chu Lingyan, she was still a rare beauty. Moreover, this woman was dignified and did not have the servant-maid's subservience. Instead, she looked more like a lady from a noble family.
If it was in his previous life, this kind of girl would definitely be Qin Yi's goddess.
But now, she was as obedient as a rabbit in front of him.
Qin Yi could clearly feel a strong wave of Qi slowly leaving his body.
Comfortable!
"Young master, have some tea."
After the meal, Tou Mei personally brewed a pot of tea and respectfully poured a bowl for Qin Yi. Her demeanor was no different from a servant girl's.
"Yes."
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and took a sip comfortably.
Closing his eyes and savoring the aftertaste, Qin Yi suddenly remembered that the one serving him tea wasn't Chu Lingyan but just a servant girl and that he was just a target of their use.
When he thought of this, he immediately felt bored and the aura he had just emitted returned several times, causing his entire spirit to become dispirited.
"Right, has Miss thrush ever cultivated before?" Qin Yi put down the tea bowl and suddenly looked at the thrush beside him and asked.
"Of course, I am the Miss's personal maid. Not only did I train in it, I am also favored by the Lady, and I cultivate the Absolute Chu Family Method, the Withering Wood Method!"
"What?! You're cultivating the Withering Wood Method?"
Qin Yi was stunned. Then, as if he had understood something, he nodded and said: "Miss Mo Mei must have a profound skill, Chu Family sending you to replace Chu Lingyan, is there a reason to guide my cultivation? Or, to supervise? "
"Young master is overthinking it. I am only a maid, how can I have the power to supervise you? Furthermore, there is no need for us to supervise you, because Miss has already set out for the Luna Sect, and from today onwards, all grievances and grudges between us will no longer be related. The reason Miss allowed me to replace her, was actually to allow me to protect you for a period of time. "
"What do you mean, protect me?"
Qin Yi couldn't help but frown when he heard the other party's words. He had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Cough, cough." It was difficult to say anything, so she just coughed twice and said: "Young Noble must keep a low profile during this period of time, it's best if you don't come out from the Qin Mansion."
"Why?"
Qin Yi grinned. He felt like there was another huge pit approaching him, and it wasn't just a huge one at that.
However, he was already used to it. Since he had transmigrated, he seemed to have been wrapped in some kind of curse. Pits of all sorts appeared one after another. It didn't matter if there were more lice or not.
Sure enough, the next answer from the thrush confirmed Qin Yi's guess.
"Before my family's miss and Young Master Qin became married, Luo Angyu of Luo Family always had a soft spot for my family's miss and had many times proposed marriage to the family head. However, the family head did not find it easy, and of course he did not refute it explicitly. After all, the Luo Family is also one of the Four Great Families of the Tianshui City, and Luo Angyu is a young genius who has the strength of the seventh level of the Postnatal realm at the age of eighteen, and is also a core disciple of the Immeasurable Sword Sect.
Then, he continued, "Ever since you knew about the marriage between Miss and Young Noble, Luo Angyu spread the word that he would show it to Young Master Qin. "Luo Angyu was merciless and vengeful. Miss was afraid that young master would suffer a loss, so she sent her thrush to protect young master, instructing young master on his Withered Wood Method cultivation while at the same time."
Qin Yi didn't know what to say after hearing this, so he could only sigh, "What a great bowl of dog blood!"
Qin Yi of the Immeasurable Sword Sect had also heard of it before. It was a sect that was second only to the three great powers in the Wu State and was famous for its swordsmanship.
To be able to become a core disciple in a sect like this, it could be seen that Luo Angyu's strength was extraordinary. If they really were to keep an eye on him … their days would not be too good!
Do I have to continue being a cowardly turtle?
Qin Yi was speechless. Ever since he transmigrated, there has always been someone who wants his life. It's been so long since he transmigrated, yet he still doesn't dare to walk around on the streets. Even now, he still doesn't know what the world is like!
This was enough to make people not have fun!
"But Young Noble need not worry too much. Right now, you are the young miss's husband, even if it's in name, the Chu Family will not sit idly by. Furthermore, I will stay close by your side to protect you, as long as Young Noble does not go out and show off, Luo Angyu will not take it to heart."
"Oh?" Qin Yi was startled when he heard that. He looked at the other party with hope and asked, "How is Miss thrush's cultivation?"
"Houtian seventh stage!"
Qin Yi was shocked. He didn't expect Chu Lingyan's maid to have such a high cultivation base. It was actually the same cultivation base as Lee Meiniang's woman. As expected of the Four Great Families, her strength was amazing!
"That's right, so what if your young lady has strength? Could it be that she is one with the world?"
Qin Yi felt that if a maid was already so awesome, then as a Miss, how awesome would Chu Lingyan be! At the very least, it had to be 'one with the world', right? It was just that he did not know if he had entered the Hidden Dragon Rank. If he had, then his thigh would be rather thick. He had to carefully consider whether or not to hold onto it.
"My family's young miss was born with a hidden disease that she had never cultivated before. Her body only recovered after activating her spirit vein. I still have to thank young master for saving my family's young lady's life."
The thrush said this with a bow and a tone that was unusually sincere.
"So that's how it is."
Qin Yi's idea of hugging onto his thigh had been shattered. Even if the other party had awakened their spirit veins and even entered the Luna Sect, it would still take some time for them to reach the ranks of experts. He did not have the time to wait.
However, although he couldn't hug someone's thigh, he couldn't say that it was completely useless. If he could use the other party's connections to leave the Tianshui City, it wouldn't be bad.
It was best to start over by changing the map.
Thinking about this, Qin Yi probingly asked: "Miss thrush, I wonder, what are the conditions for a large sect like Luna Sect to accept disciples?"
"Absolutely not!"
The moment Qin Yi said that, his face changed and he rejected loudly, scaring Qin Yi.
"Hmph, you're overthinking it. I've seen a lot of pretty girls, not to mention Chu Lingyan, even Heavenly Immortals can't do anything about it." I, Qin Yi, am definitely not a shameless person who will never let go of you. Furthermore, I did not wish to marry you.
Qin Yi's expression turned cold, and his tone became unfriendly.
"Young master is overthinking it. The drawing of a title is not what you think it is, but it has other reasons. In short, you absolutely cannot go to Luna Sect."
Seeing Qin Yi's attitude, the thrush immediately started to explain. Qin Yi saw that the other person's expression didn't seem to be fake, so he was puzzled.
"Oh? Could it be that Luna Sect does not accept male disciples? But I seem to see a male disciple with Luna Sect on the Hidden Dragon Rank rankings? Or could it be because your young miss, Luna Sect does not accept couples from the same sect? "
The more Qin Yi thought about it, the more doubtful he became.
Tou Mei saw Qin Yi's questioning look and knew that it was impossible to explain it clearly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked: "Does Young Master Qin know why my family's Miss married you?"
"Why? Isn't it because of the Spiritual Seed? Could it be because of love?"
Qin Yi twitched his lips. The mere mention of this made him feel unhappy, as if he was being forced into a corner by an overlord.
Treadmill didn't have much of a reaction to Qin Yi's attitude. He glanced at Qin Yi and continued, "No, it's all because of one person!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Yi was a little confused. He felt like the water was getting deeper and deeper!
