Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 559 -511: Astonishing a Fox for a Hundred Years

The lake water was clear, its depth unknown.

There was only one boat on the lake, anchored there.

Liu Zixiao was stupefied.

She was just spectating the fight—how come she still got splashed in the face with lake water?

This damn unruly disciple.

He definitely did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Liu Zixiao gritted her silvery teeth. With Su Xiyue’s help today, would she really still be unable to handle this rebellious disciple?

“Aunt Liu, I… I didn’t mean to.”

Su Xiyue’s body was exhausted, but seeing Liu Zixiao’s state, she was instantly overwhelmed with shame, nearly wishing she could crawl into a hole.

“It’s nothing, let me handle it.”

Unlike the Sect Leader Su Xihe, Liu Zixiao was bold enough to act instead of simply thinking about it.

Supporting herself, she dragged the little boat girl off, muddy water and all, and took her place on the boat.

“Careful now.”

Qin Yu kindly reminded her.

He really wasn’t to blame this time.

Usually, only a beautiful master possessing an Innate Sacred Body would act like this.

As for the little immortal wife, she’d only have this sort of behavior when she was too nervous in front of Sect Leader Su Xihe.

Who told that battle-waste to get so close just now.

But come to think of it, the little immortal wife, untouched by the mundane world, was getting more and more charming these days—totally bewitching.

“Hmph!”

Sect Leader Su Xihe was not pleased.

This guy was still staring at Xiyue. Was he trying to keep bullying her little sister?!

As the elder sister, she absolutely would not allow her little sister to be treated this way.

“Sect Leader Master?”

Seeing the Sect Leader approaching, Qin Yu was a bit puzzled.

With Master Liu already welcoming her, was she here to urge them on?

But there was no space left for her to board now.

Just as Qin Yu looked utterly lost, utterly confused,

To help her little sister ease up, Su Xihe, as Lord of the Immortal Sect, had to personally step in to suppress her rebellious disciple.

As a master, even though her own cultivation wasn’t as high as her disciple’s yet, with her Innate Sacred Body, she wasn’t afraid of this unruly kid in the slightest.

Liu Zixiao was shocked.

So that’s what kind of Sect Leader you are!

In the lake,

The Beauty Clan Leader had just unleashed her senses, wanting to check out why it’d suddenly gotten so quiet. The next moment, she stared with wide eyes, gaze full of disbelief, as if she’d witnessed something utterly outrageous.

Heavens!

Her whole fox worldview was shattered!

Even to save her little sister, surely it’s not necessary to get…

That far, right?!

The Beauty Clan Leader only felt her heart start pounding, her chest heavy.

She’d told herself countless times to stop watching, but somehow, she couldn’t help peeking in with a thread of her consciousness to witness the spectacle.

Daily cultivation finally came to an end.

When she saw Qin Yu turn up again, the Beauty Clan Leader was already neatly dressed, sitting by the waterfall with an air of leisurely indifference.

A wisp of her mind kept watching that troublemaker, and as soon as he came close, she was instantly on guard, full of disdain.

After this, don’t even think about making any more deals with me!

Just thinking about what she’d indirectly…

The Beauty Clan Leader simply couldn’t accept it!

Huh?

Why’s he taking off his clothes?

The Beauty Clan Leader’s face was brimming with contempt.

Could he be trying to show off in front of me?

Tch!

I won’t let you have your way.

The Beauty Clan Leader slowly closed her eyes, refusing to look at all.

To her surprise, Qin Yu plunged straight into the lake, looking very much like he was taking a bath.

The Beauty Clan Leader quietly heaved a sigh of relief, then as if remembering something, her delicate face shifted: “You… don’t…”

“What’s wrong? Does big sister want to join me too?”

Qin Yu popped his head out of the water and called out.

Today’s lake water…

Seemed to carry a subtle peach-blossom fragrance.

Really nice.

“How impudent! Would I ever bathe together with you?”

The Beauty Clan Leader’s expression turned cold. Whether out of shame or simply covering her own awkwardness, she instantly snapped at him.

He shouldn’t have noticed anything weird, right?

The thought of this guy soaking in the very place she’d just been made the Beauty Clan Leader’s embarrassment almost unbearable. In the end, she simply stood up and walked back to the entrance of the little courtyard.

She seriously couldn’t bear to watch Qin Yu bathing with the lake water in his hands.

Listening to the water sounds from over there, the Beauty Clan Leader’s heart remained unsettled for a long time.

If only she’d known… she wouldn’t have tried to train her willpower earlier.

But what surprised the Beauty Clan Leader was that after Qin Yu finished bathing, he didn’t walk over. Instead, he turned around and dashed off into the distance.

What the heck?!

I’d already thought up the whole righteous speech to berate him in a bit.

And he just left?

Was it because Little Ling’Er and Tu Jiujiu were about to wake up?

It’s not my fault anyway—obviously he’s to blame, for dragging out such a boring thing the whole night!

Qin Yu had no idea what the Beauty Clan Leader was imagining. After purifying all that malice and Malice Spirits within the Great Chu Immortal Country, his Flame Point had already surpassed the amount needed for a root bone breakthrough—there was even excess.

Sitting on a rock, Qin Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his condition to the peak, and then let his mind slowly settle in quiet concentration.

[Cultivation: Early-stage Nascent Soul (26%)]

[Root Bone: Upper Grade Dao Bone (Flame Point 1,186,746/800,000) (Breakthrough available)]

[Spiritual Power: Subtle Initial Stage (Flame Point 1,186,746/200,000) (Breakthrough available)]

“Breakthrough!”

Qin Yu murmured under his breath. Instantly, the fire within him was like being doused in blazing oil, flaring up in a swirl, like a torch in the darkness, illuminating the shadows around him.

Tiny sparks and points of light became more apparent now, each clearly marked with rune imprints.

Those sparks twinkled like celestial stars, infinite in number and origin unknown.

Soon, embers drifted down, landing inside Qin Yu’s body, naturally merging into his flesh, bones, and even his organs.

Subtle changes soon followed—his root bone was undergoing a transformation of some kind.

“He’s… cultivating?”

The Beauty Clan Leader watched as Qin Yu ran off alone and couldn’t help being surprised.

Since coming to the Lifebound Space, except for when he went out with the Empress, she’d never seen Qin Yu spending any serious time cultivating alone.

In fact, every time she saw him clinging to Tu Jiujiu, unwilling to let go, she really wanted to say… Brat, stop groping and go cultivate for a bit!

The Beauty Clan Leader even suspected Qin Yu was deliberately trying to lure her over by running off a little farther.

But—

She wasn’t falling for that.

Yet as she watched, she soon noticed something odd.

This guy’s aura was undergoing subtle changes.

The shift was very faint at first—and it wasn’t just that he was getting stronger, more like…

It felt as if his affinity with the surrounding Spiritual Qi was rising sharply.

“He’s improving his root bone?!”

The Beauty Clan Leader’s eyes widened, her beautiful gaze filling with disbelief.

Even having seen some changes in Qin Yu’s Dao Companions’ root bones, and heard Liu Zixiao mention it before, the Beauty Clan Leader had still carried a touch of skepticism about it.

After all, some beliefs were deeply rooted in her heart.

Root bone—simply cannot be raised!

This is a universal truth among the Ten Thousand Races—there’s never been an exception before.

Yet now, this brat was overturning that very belief.
