Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Before meeting Qin Yu, if the Empress learned about his daring offense towards Ling’Er, she would surely consider his actions a blatant desecration of the Great Yan Royal Family’s supreme dignity!

However, it was not difficult to see from Qin Yu’s respectful attitude just now that he held enough reverence for herself, the Empress Dowager, and Ling’Er, and dared not offend in the slightest.

It was clear to the Empress that it was not a facade.

But, why would Qin Yu engage in such behavior?

Could it be merely for... the sake of treatment?

She could not help but fall into contemplation.

Ling’Er was the only dearest person to her in this world, one could say she was the Great Yan Empress’s reverse scale.

Especially with Qin Yu, seemingly having a harem of wives!

To be honest, the Empress was somewhat bothered.

After all, Ling’Er was still so young.

She would not allow anyone to harm her most dear one.

”Your Majesty, Ling’Er misses you so much.”

Little Ling’Er tightly held the Empress’s arm.

Looking at her face reflecting a healthy and rosy complexion, the Empress suddenly felt reassured.

As long as her sister could be healthy, freed from the torment of hidden afflictions, what else could she not accept?!

Moreover, it was merely a bit of contact, hardly considered intimate behavior.

Of course, this all depended on Qin Yu being well-behaved.

It would require observation for a while!

The Empress also learned from the Empress Dowager that these days, Qin Yu had been accompanying Ling’Er, and it was precisely for this reason that Ling’Er’s symptoms had been greatly relieved.

Now, she could sleep peacefully every night.

That was the most important thing!

...

Zhongling Palace.

It was a group of halls close to the core area within the Great Yan Imperial Palace, situated directly beneath that suspended Ancient Divine Bell.

Huayang Hall.

The crimson doors were heavy and solemn, with copper nails embedded neatly like stars.

Pushing open the hall doors, the pathway of white jade extended straight forward, high palace walls flanking on both sides, adorned with exquisite carvings, patterns vividly alive.

Walking along the path, one would reach grand halls, exquisite wind chimes hanging beneath the eaves, swaying in the breeze, the crisp sound pleasing like celestial music drifting.

What surprised Qin Yu more was that within this hall, there was an Imperial Garden, where the flowers competed in beauty, their exotic fragrance pervading, adorned with rocks and stones, like a natural ink painting, showcasing the luxurious grandeur of a royal garden.

He quietly took note of this arrangement, intending to replicate it in his Lifebound Space.

At that time, arranging flowers, playing jade, swinging leisurely, all pleasures would not be missed.

And then, the richness of Spiritual Qi within.

Not visible as fog but transformed into streams flowing gently.

Qin Yu carefully sensed and understood that the water flows and lakes here were gathered by Spiritual Qi.

Truly astonishing!

As his Life Rune operated, Qin Yu could sense this was akin to constantly refining Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

Originally worried about not having enough Spirit Stones, intending to refine some Elixirs to exchange for Spirit Stones.

Now he realized, in this environment, unless it was for Realm Breakthrough, even without using Spirit Stones, cultivation would not fall behind.

”The entire Great Yan Imperial Capital is a gigantic Spirit Gathering Array, the Imperial Palace is the Array Hub, and Zhongling Palace is one of the core areas of the palace, hence the richness of Spiritual Qi.”

Yan Yu beside him explained.

Upon hearing, Qin Yu couldn’t help but be shocked.

Even in the Phoenix Carriage, he couldn’t see the end of the Imperial City’s wall, only judging from descriptions recorded in books, the Imperial City spanned thousands of miles wide, who knew what kind of Array Grandmaster could lay out such a grand array.

”Come on in.”

Yan Yu seemed to detect something, softly put on a mask, his voice sounding neither cold nor warm.

As his words fell, four palace maids entered one after another, their faces spotless, their demeanor composed, dressed in well-tailored palace attire, they gracefully entered from outside the hall door.

”Your slaves pay respects to the honored tributor and the Flame Guard master. We are adhering to orders to serve the honored tributor’s daily needs.”

The four palace maids all bowed simultaneously, heads lowered, in a respectful posture.

Qin Yu’s gaze gently swept over them, landing on these palace maids, their attire indeed made one’s eyes bright—a fitting search!

Exquisitely appropriate, utterly tasteful!

An imperial house indeed knew well the art of winning hearts, even small clothing details showed thoughtful care.

With palace etiquette, every beautiful scene in sight.

Yan Yu did not speak, instead directing his gaze toward Qin Yu.

”If that’s the case, then let them stay.”

Qin Yu said casually.

Actually, other than his wives, he wasn’t accustomed to being served by outsiders, after all, Qin Yu did not consider himself a person who could withstand such trials.

However, this was the Great Yan Imperial Palace, so it needed a few more people who understood protocol, making future queries convenient.

Moreover, the trivial tasks here couldn’t always be handled by his wives, could they?

Their cultivation wasn’t high right now, their time should be spent on improving their cultivation.

Following this, Yan Yu signaled the four palace maids to each busy themselves.

Qin Yu returned to the Imperial Garden, and with a thought, brought his wives out from his Lifebound Space.

Just stepping into the Imperial Garden, his wives were shook by the Spiritual Power that was almost tangible.

It was as if stepping into the legendary Immortal Realm, where each scenery was stunningly beautiful, thoroughly intoxicating Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, if it weren’t for knowing this was the Great Yan Imperial Palace, they appeared somewhat reserved and restrained, they might have been joyfully running around.

Liu Zixiao felt as though an invisible shackle within her quietly loosened, without needing intentional guidance, the Spiritual Qi naturally converged toward her, signaling an imminent breakthrough.

Seeing his wives’ reactions, Qin Yu also displayed a smile.

To him, enjoying everyday life with his wives was most significant.

Qin Yu’s gaze soon fell on the remarkably serene presence among them.

Of course, while Su Xihe appeared calm on the surface, internally she was not so; witnessing everything before her seemed surreal.

She reached the core area within the Great Yan Imperial Palace?!

Living inside here!

This was a luxury Su Xihe dared not even dream of.

Even though aware of the Great Yan Empress summoning Qin Yu, the treatment completely exceeded her expectations.

If not for Qin Yu, reaching beyond the Yunlan Domain wouldn’t have been possible for them.

”Master, do you like it here?”

Qin Yu approached her from behind, softly asked.

Feeling the warm breath by her ear, Su Xihe’s delicate face flushed with a shade of red, yet she remained slightly prideful with a delicate nod.

Who could say they didn’t like the Great Yan Imperial Palace?!
