Boarding Life

Chapter 694 694:

The purpose of these two people finding him was obvious—they wanted to ask him out tomorrow.

This was exactly what he wanted. After all, he only had one week, and his original goal was to speed up the pace and conquer these two women as soon as possible!

"Who should I ask out!"

Qin Qi stroked his chin, contemplating his plan in his mind.

No matter whom he asked out, it would trigger strong competitiveness in the other person.

"Forget it, I'll ask Gu Xiaoyou out. After all, Gu Xiaoyou's cultivation is higher; dealing with her will be more beneficial for my improvement!" Qin Qi thought silently.

He replied to Gu Xiaoyou's message.

After finishing the arrangement, Qin Qi leaned back on the bed and began to inquire, "So tell me, Mu Ning's cultivation, which is one stage higher than a True Master, what exactly is it?"

"Why can the Golden Crow Eye's powers only be used at this cultivation level?"

The mysterious woman spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Do you know what the cultivation level of a True Master is called?"

"After all, True Master is a title of respect, not the actual name for a cultivation stage!"

Listening to this, Qin Qi became curious, "Honestly, I haven't heard anyone mention this before!"

"Because now is the era of technology, and so these stage names have gradually faded away."

The mysterious woman lazily said, "The level of a True Master is named the Qi Refinement Realm, and above a True Master, at Mu Ning's current level, is the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Qin Qi's eyes widened, "What the hell? This sounds a lot like cultivation!"

The mysterious woman smiled broadly, "You have cultivated until now; don't you think that your methods have long surpassed the ordinary realm?"

"Moreover, you've probably noticed by now that your own appetite is gradually decreasing, and your craving for food is not as strong as before?"

Qin Qi paused slightly, "Why is this?"

"Starting from the Qi Refinement Realm, one gradually begins to enter fasting, and after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, practitioners barely feel a need for food!"

The mysterious woman explained leisurely, "That's because you are absorbing Air Essence. This so-called Air Essence is sufficient to satisfy you. Actually, your understanding of it as cultivation is quite logical!"

Qin Qi said, "Then tell me, why can I only use the Golden Crow Eye's powers upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

The mysterious woman slowly spoke, "That's because I suspect that the complete use of the Golden Crow Eye involves another force!"

"What kind of power?" Qin Qi asked in confusion.

"Divine Thought!" The mysterious woman's tone gradually became calm.

Yet Qin Qi's heart was stirred deeply in wonder, "What exactly is Divine Thought?"

The mysterious woman carefully explained, "This is the essential difference between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refinement Realm. The Qi Refinement Realm condenses Air Essence into True Qi within the body, while the Foundation Establishment Stage expands the inner Sea of Consciousness and opens up the Sea of Consciousness simultaneously!"

"Once opened, the Sea of Consciousness can easily capture any movements within its own realm, accomplishing preemptive strike prediction and anticipating enemy moves effortlessly!"

Qin Qi took a deep breath, muttering quietly, "Sea of Consciousness…"

Undoubtedly, this opened up a new world for him.

The mysterious woman continued, "And those with strong Sea of Consciousness can separate Divine Thought from within it. The functions of these Divine Thought are immense. According to my judgment, the Golden Crow Eye likely relies on the power of Divine Thought to be fully activated!"

"The reason you can't use it now is because you lack the power of Divine Thought!"

Qin Qi's curiosity was completely piqued, "Then what about beyond that?"

"Beyond that, haha, it's actually called Immortal, not much different. At that level, one can be omnipotent, but I doubt the Martial Arts District has ever seen such a master in its history," the mysterious woman replied earnestly.

Qin Qi couldn't help but ask, "And you? What level have you reached? Where did you come from back in those days?"

It's worth noting that even now, Qin Qi doesn't know the origin of the mysterious woman.

But according to his judgment, the mysterious woman likely did not originate from the Martial Arts District.

But if not from the Martial Arts District, then where could she possibly be from?

The mysterious woman chuckled softly, "Okay, when the time comes, I'll naturally let you know about my matters! But as you guessed, I wasn't born in the Martial Arts District!"

Qin Qi felt increasingly puzzled.

But if the mysterious woman didn't originate from the Martial Arts District, why would she attract investigation from the Dao Inference Department?

Qin Qi shook his head; as long as the mysterious woman did not speak, he would never be able to guess, and he gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Qin Qi arrived at the company.

At the company, as usual, without much to do, he could only idly browse his phone.

Soon, a message arrived.

A glance showed it was from Wan Huarou.

"Qin Qi, why haven't you replied to my messages? What did you do last night? Did you just ask Gu Xiaoyou out again!"

Seeing a series of messages from Wan Huarou, Qin Qi smirked.

He simply replied, "Slept early last night, didn't see your messages!"

"Are you free tonight?" Wan Huarou quickly replied.

Qin Qi smirked.

He felt more and more like a jerk lately.

He quickly typed, "Got plans tonight!"

"What plans could you possibly have tonight?"

Qin Qi glanced at it and didn't respond.

Soon enough, Wan Huarou's messages came shooting over like a machine gun.

"Did you arrange to meet Gu Xiaoyou tonight?!"

"Qin Qi, where are you? Speak up, lost again?"

"Hey, I'll give you a surprise tonight. Would you meet me tonight?"

Qin Qi knew that responding to her more now would make things worse. Maintaining silence would be the key to keeping Wan Huarou's interest peaked.

So, time ticked by minute by minute.

Soon enough, it was afternoon, close to the end of the workday.

Qin Qi glanced towards Mu Ning's office.

He usually visited Mu Ning every other day to help Mu Xianxian with her treatment, but today, he had arranged to meet Gu Xiaoyou.

Mu Xianxian's condition no longer required bi-daily visits.

But he was curious to see what Mu Ning might think if he didn't show up today!

Just as he had suspected.

Mu Ning was sitting on the office chair, eyes vacant, pondering something.

"Will Qin Qi... come to my house tonight at all..." Mu Ning murmured while lightly biting her lip.

Mu Xianxian's condition didn't require Qin Qi's presence anymore. But the thought of him not coming today disturbed her mind.
