Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Qin Yu and Ling’Er’s marriage has not been settled, perhaps the Empress will feel a little less guilty.

If the two already had a formal relationship, and then she…

What would that look like?!

If the matter spreads, who knows what people will say about her as the Great Yan Empress.

Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager is troublesome, she’s tight-lipped and won’t spread rumors.

Don’t be fooled by Xiangrui’s silly look; she won’t pay attention to outsiders.

She only reveals her temperamental side in front of the Empress and Ling’Er.

Of course, now there’s also Qin Yu.

Meanwhile, the news of a mysterious event in the Hundred Thousand Mountains has almost spread throughout the Great Yan Immortal Country.

The previously desolate Hundred Thousand Mountains is now teeming with people.

Initially, under the advice of the Mountain Miao Hall, many cultivators remained rational and didn’t intrude.

However, in just a few days, someone received a grand legacy, advancing their realm in a single day to Foundation Establishment!

Subsequently, others acquired various treasures of heaven and earth, and even cultivation techniques.

The news of the appearance of ancient ruins spread rapidly like wildfire.

Countless cultivators, filled with excitement, flocked there, hoping to seize a great opportunity and soar to new heights.

Opportunity often comes with danger; almost every day, cultivators fall in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

However, this does not deter other cultivators from yearning for opportunities, and even more are rushing to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Mountain Miao Hall.

“Hall Master, two Foundation Establishment Realm experts entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains today.”

“Understood.”

Wang Liweng couldn’t help but rub his temples, feeling a bit troubled.

Each Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is an ancient Immortal Sect’s trump card.

However, since the mysterious event in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, nearly ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators have ventured in.

As for Golden Core Realm and Lotus Platform Realm experts, they are countless!

This proves the strength of each region in the Great Yan Immortal Country.

Yet.

The gathering of so many cultivators here leaves Wang Liweng feeling uneasy.

The situation is gradually slipping out of Mountain Miao Hall’s control.

Now, even with a strong stance, Mountain Miao Hall can no longer stop them from entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“Shua!”

At this moment, the light in the hall flickered briefly, and a figure appeared in the main hall.

“Flame Guard, my lord.”

Wang Liweng stood up, a glint suddenly appearing in his eyes.

The other cultivators in the hall also rose and saluted the woman.

“The Empress asked me to go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

The one who came was Yan Ruo of the Flame Guard.

She wore fine armor, with an alluring vest line outlined at her waist.

However, the gaze of everyone present was filled with reverence, not daring to harbor any disrespect.

“Flame Guard, my lord, you’re going personally?”

Hearing this, Wang Liweng and the others were all shocked.

Then, they felt a bit relieved.

This time, the disturbance caused by the mysterious event is too large; almost all the strong experts from various Immortal Sects in the Mountain Miao Hall’s region have gone, and many cultivators from other regions have come.

Even in surrounding areas, shadows of other Immortal Country experts have appeared. However, due to the Great Yan Royal Family’s authority, they dare not easily intrude.

But once an ancient ruin truly appears, those experts will surely rush across the border and enter the ruins regardless of anything.

As long as one can obtain an opportunity from within, no matter the risk, it’s worth it.

“I hope Hall Master Wang will be on high alert at Falling Stone Peak and the border areas.”

Yan Ruo nodded and said.

“Rest assured, Flame Guard, my lord, it is my duty.”

Wang Liweng replied solemnly, cupping his hands.

He was initially anxious about the uncontrollable situation, but now, with the Flame Guard personally investigating, he no longer has to worry endlessly.

…

With a move, the Empress Dowager regrettably lost the game.

“It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count. I was careless in this round.”

The Empress Dowager was stunned, waving her hands repeatedly.

“Clang! Clang!”

The Ugly Little Chick perched on Qin Yu’s shoulder, its small beak slightly open as if mocking the Empress Dowager for cheating.

“What do you know, you must have stolen my pieces!”

The Empress Dowager’s anger rose, and she glared, pretending to grab and pluck a few feathers.

The Ugly Little Chick was undeterred, its eyes like burning red rubies, full of disdain.

“Qin Yu, get it down, let’s see how I deal with it today!”

The Empress Dowager was furious, how dare a little thing that hasn’t even passed its infancy provoke me.

Today, it must know why the flowers are so red!

For a moment, a person and a bird were playfully tussling in the stone pavilion, with feathers like fire-red silk dropping every now and then.

Clearly, the Ugly Little Chick was no match for the Empress Dowager.

If not for Qin Yu’s timely intervention, the little creature would probably have lost a few more feathers.

Escaping into Qin Yu’s embrace, the Ugly Little Chick poked its head out defiantly, provocatively opening its beak, seemingly very dissatisfied.

The Empress Dowager wouldn’t spoil it; with her movements, the Great Phoenix nearly knocked Qin Yu over.

Finally, Qin Yu had to forcibly tuck the Ugly Little Chick’s head in, temporarily stopping the antics between the person and the bird.

“I won’t play with you anymore, Little Ling’Er, let Qin Yu play chess with me.”

The Empress Dowager sat back, pouting as she looked at Little Ling’Er’s composed demeanor.

She had clearly followed Qin Yu’s way of playing, yet Little Ling’Er didn’t follow the chess manual at all.

Humph!

Qin Yu must have been holding back!

This guy, despite my sincerity and concern for his safety.

Not only does he not appreciate it, but he also teams up with Little Ling’Er to bully me.

The Empress Dowager grew increasingly agitated the more she thought about it.

After a round.

Her face, akin to the Moon Palace Fairy, broke into a smile, with two cute little tiger teeth showing off her cleverness.

“Clang!”

The clown chicken was very displeased, yet couldn’t comprehend how Qin Yu could lose to such a brainless fool.

If only it could maintain its transformation for a longer duration, it would have wanted to personally battle the Empress Dowager a few rounds.

After another bout of noise, the clown chicken yawned, fatigue overwhelming it.

Nevertheless, before laying down to sleep, it didn’t forget to give the Empress Dowager a sidelong glance, instantly rousing waves of fury in the latter.

In the afternoon.

Qin Yu walked alone out of the Imperial Palace, heading to the Carefree Pavilion.

There was also a little wife there, couldn’t favor one over the other.

On the top floor of the Carefree Pavilion.

Chu Muyin attentively watched the skilled techniques, her gaze flickering.

However, when she personally attempted it, she could never grasp the essentials.

The Array Patterns of the Ancient Ruined Array were too intricate; comprehending the subtleties clearly wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.

Could it be that her talent in arrays was inferior to this Bai family woman?

“Sister Yaosha, how did you comprehend so quickly?”

Chu Muyin tried several times, making some progress, yet still far from fully understanding.

“I…”

Bai Yaosha hesitated briefly, but truthfully said, “It was Master Qin who guided me; otherwise, I would take much longer to grasp the nuances.”

Master Qin again?

Chu Muyin furrowed her brows slightly, she could see Bai Yaosha wasn’t deceiving her.

The latter even went so far as to exhaust her mind, demonstrating various details for her.

“Actually, if Master Qin comes over, Princess Muyin might try to receive some guidance.”

Bai Yaosha paused, then said.

After all, her expertise in Spiritual Power was merely High Tier Refining; some details she herself couldn’t fully demonstrate.

“This…”

Chu Muyin’s eyes shifted evasively, that kind of contact?

Even though the other person was a revered Array Master, that instinctive resistance to the opposite gender made her unable to calm herself.

Seeing her in such a state, Bai Yaosha shook her head.

After all, the other was the Princess of Great Chu Immortal Country, a royal member, some rules and etiquette were ingrained in her; these deeply rooted ideas couldn’t be changed in a short time.

Seeing the disappointment flash in Bai Yaosha’s eyes, Chu Muyin’s emotions became quite complex.

She could see that this Bai family woman was genuinely passionate about arrays, not just a pawn of the Bai Family to retain Qin Yu.

Could it be that she was overthinking things?

Master Qin’s expertise in arrays was truly astonishing, far exceeding her imagination.

Perhaps, this was indeed just his way of imparting knowledge?

Now, Emperor Yan still hadn’t given any response, visiting Master Qin seemed to be a distant prospect.

And the only place to interact with him was at the Carefree Pavilion.

If she could connect through the path of arrays, it truly appeared to be a viable option.

Chu Muyin lightly bit her lips, as if she had made a great resolution.

When Master Qin comes next, I must truly appreciate it, not fail to live up to it.

“Sister Yaosha, can you try to help me?”

Chu Muyin took a deep breath, proactively said.

“Me?”

Bai Yaosha hesitated, yet faced with the other’s gaze, she couldn’t turn her down, immediately stepping back in front of the array patterns to prepare another demonstration.

“No, not like this…”

Chu Muyin whispered.

“Hmm?”

Bai Yaosha was a bit puzzled.

Not like this, then how?

“Can you, like Master Qin taught you…”

Chu Muyin’s voice was soft, almost inaudible, her delicate face flushed a shade of crimson.

Bai Yaosha suddenly caught on, realizing that the Princess wanted to attempt this method.

It seems she had also realized the quick way to comprehend the array patterns.

However, Bai Yaosha wasn’t very confident either, after all, the method was efficient, but she had never taught anyone like this before.

After a short period.

The two were closely pressed together.

Bai Yaosha’s clothing had been flattened, earnestly demonstrating the array patterns.

With a few adjustments, Chu Muyin slowly adapted.

It seems…

This method did have some effect.

But the effect was minimal!

Indeed, Bai Yaosha’s talent might not be significantly higher than hers.

Could it be only if Master Qin taught, would it be effective?

As the two researched the array patterns, the array activated.

“You’re doing…”

Staring at the intimate posture the two figures were glued together in, Qin Yu was dumbfounded, his voice quivering.

Whether it was the flattened appearance of her sister-in-law or the proud posture of the Princess, both were breathtaking; such beauty made it difficult not to let the mind wander.

“Master Qin?”

Upon hearing this voice, Chu Muyin’s body stiffened, her mind disturbed, her Spiritual Power chaotic, completely dissipated.

In contrast, Bai Yaosha’s expression remained calm, showing no abnormality, merely feeling a bit regretful at her mistake.

Chu Muyin felt ashamed, she was being sincerely taught, yet disappointed the good intentions.

“Qin Yu, perhaps you could try?”

Bai Yaosha felt a bit helpless, she genuinely did her best, still uncertain where the issue lay, as the Princess couldn’t grasp the essentials.
