Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 560 -512: Personal Ties

Qin Yu usually doesn’t cultivate, but when he does, he enhances his Root Bone?!

The Beauty Clan Leader suddenly felt a bit bewildered.

Does he have some misunderstanding about “cultivation”?

Wouldn’t it be better to take it easy and not scare the fox like this?

In his Lifebound Space, Qin Yu did not use the Earth-Departing Flame Banner to conceal his aura, and the Beauty Clan Leader could clearly sense the changes in the Spiritual Qi around him.

This fluctuation was unmistakable; his Root Bone was indeed capable of enhancement!

Since both Qin Yu and his Dao Companion’s Root Bones can be enhanced, then…

The Beauty Clan Leader’s heart raced, barely able to suppress the excitement within.

This time, Qin Yu’s enhancement took a bit longer.

The delicate wives, having mostly rested up, came out from their respective courtyards, sharing a tacit understanding among themselves.

The Beauty Clan Leader, attentive in his observations, hadn’t noticed them approaching.

“Senior Tu didn’t go to rest?”

A melodious voice came from behind her.

Liu Zixiao had already arrived by the waterfall. Su Xihe looked over at the Beauty Clan Leader but didn’t approach, instead leaning on a swing by the lakeside, taking out a storybook.

Ordinarily, the Beauty Clan Leader wouldn’t have found anything amiss.

But after witnessing Qin Yu’s bewildered look, she really found it hard to face this peerless beauty before her.

Completely unexpected!

How could this person, both sister and master, do such a thing to her own disciple and brother-in-law?

After a few responses, the Beauty Clan Leader couldn’t help but steer the conversation towards Qin Yu.

However, Liu Zixiao and Su Xihe seemed not surprised at all, even looking exceptionally calm.

It was as if they were accustomed to such world-shattering events, treating them as entirely normal.

Before long, the area beneath the waterfall returned to its usual joy and liveliness.

“Oh, today’s lake water smells so fragrant.”

While splashing around, Lin Shuishui and a few young women seemed to notice something unusual.

The Beauty Clan Leader’s gaze was calm and serene, undisturbed by worldly lures.

Hold on, what is Su Xihe doing?

Why is she so tense?

Could it be that she thinks it comes from the hot spring courtyard?

…

In the Carefree Pavilion, fifth floor, in an elegant room.

Chu Muyin held a piece of information in her hand, examining it carefully several times before looking unbelievingly at the woman beside her.

“Auntie, could this information be wrong?”

Chu Muyin asked, somewhat incredulously.

Chu Liuya slightly shook her head, indicating there was no mistake.

Chu Muyin knew her aunt rarely joked, especially concerning the distinguished Master Qin.

The information was provided by the Chu Guard, so it shouldn’t be wrong.

However, the gap between this information and the Qin Master she knew was way too vast.

Chu Muyin truly couldn’t connect the imposing figure in her mind with the person mentioned in the information.

“I’ve met Master Qin; his mastery in array formations far surpasses my master, and… I even believe he will become an Array Grandmaster in the future.”

“Judging by the source, the person providing the information may have a bias against Master Qin.”

Chu Muyin asserted with confidence.

Indeed!

Master Qin is so young, achieving such accomplishments inevitably invites envy. Even though it’s unclear how the Chu Guard gathered this intelligence, considering this is the Great Yan Imperial Capital, they might have been misled by rumors.

Chu Liuya didn’t argue with her, showing no emotional fluctuation at being questioned.

She had absolute confidence that this was the truth, requiring no explanation.

What puzzled her, though, was why her imperial brother wanted Mu Yin to come to the Great Yan Imperial Capital to approach Qin Yu. From the intelligence, given the latter’s character, having met the Princess, he would surely be unforgettable, so why did they have to come personally?

“Auntie, I want to meet the Chief Steward of the Carefree Pavilion.”

With a light grip of her jade hand, the information in Chu Muyin’s hand was crushed into fragments.

Due to the constraints of a Heavenly Dao oath, she and Emperor Chu could not disclose what they had witnessed before to anyone, not even to her closest aunt.

Only she and Emperor Chu understood Qin Yu’s importance.

Moments later, Bai Yaoyin pushed the door open and entered.

Since completely taking over the Imperial City Leisure Pavilion, she had retreated behind the scenes on ordinary days.

However, the visitor was a Princess of the Great Chu Royal Family, so Bai Yaoyin couldn’t help but show some respect.

After all, she is the Emperor Chu’s most cherished daughter.

Upon seeing that striking figure in the room, the well-acquainted Bai Yaoyin also found herself somewhat amazed.

This Princess of the Great Chu Immortal Country, as rumors had it, was indeed peerlessly beautiful, her face captivating cultivators aplenty.

“Princess.”

Bai Yaoyin smiled lightly, her dimples adding a sense of intimacy.

“Sorry to trouble you, Chief Bai.”

Chu Muyin wasn’t surprised that she knew her identity, considering the expansive reach of the Carefree Pavilion, their presence evident in major cities.

“No need to be so polite, Princess. Is there anything I can do for you?”

Bai Yaoyin glanced at the woman not far away, sensing an extremely dangerous aura from her.

Both the Princess and the Leader of the Chu Guard had appeared in the Great Yan Imperial Capital.

What did the Great Chu Immortal Country’s Royal Family intend?

Why hadn’t the Carefree Pavilion received any prior information at all?

“I’d like to ask Chief Bai about someone.”

Chu Muyin, seemingly without pretense, gestured for Bai Yaoyin to be seated.

“Who?”

Bai Yaoyin maintained a polite smile, awaiting her inquiry.

“The Guest Minister of the Carefree Pavilion, Master Qin.”

Chu Muyin didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating her purpose.

“Hmm?”

Bai Yaoyin was taken aback.

Qin Yu?

This incredibly beautiful princess of the Great Chu Royal Family had traveled a long way to the Great Yan Imperial Capital just to inquire about Qin Yu?

Over the fortnight since her husband left, what on earth had happened? Why had two prominent figures of the Great Chu Royal Family made a personal appearance?

Could it be…

Had her husband offended them?!

It couldn’t be. From her understanding of her husband, although he might appreciate beauty, he would never be coercive.

Moreover, the other party was a royal princess.

Qin Yu had just recently ascended to the Lotus Platform Realm, lacking sufficient power if he was intent on coercion, no?

Though she contemplated these thoughts, Bai Yaoyin’s expression remained unchanged, quickly sorting out her thoughts.

As for why Chu Muyin wanted to inquire about Qin Yu, she couldn’t ask too many questions if the other party didn’t volunteer the information.

“Surely Chief Bai and Guest Minister Qin share a deep rapport? Could you tell me about him?”

Chu Muyin asked with anticipation.

She really didn’t want to believe the news in the intelligence.

Qin Yu had once helped the Carefree Pavilion repair a remnant array, hinting that the present Chief Bai could have had some contact with him.

Perhaps she could gain the most accurate information from her mouth.

“It’s somewhat embarrassing to say, Master Qin is like a dragon who shows its head and never its tail; my acquaintance with him…”

Bai Yaoyin paused.

Not deep?

It was really hard to admit!

“What kind of person does Chief Bai consider Master Qin to be?”

Chu Muyin felt this Chief Bai seemed a bit odd, unlike the keen and intelligent figure depicted in the intelligence.
