Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 414 - 412: Jiang Lingyue: That Stinky Brother-in-Law Ran Away?! Is Lu Ye Actually a Living Elixir Spirit?

Entering the mountain cave within, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and only managed to extend the protective barrier around himself, not covering the entire inner cave.

If he covered the whole area, Xiao Qingyin would have to try and wake him up from the outer cave should anything happen.

After setting up the barrier, Lu Ye flipped his wrist.

A drop of spirit liquid, as green as a jade crystal, emitting the Breath of Life, appeared instantly in his hand.

In an instant, the entire space within the barrier was filled with an intoxicating aroma.

Although the barrier cut off most of the spirit liquid’s scent, a small portion still permeated through, reaching the outer cave.

"What a fragrant aroma, how can someone cultivating smell this good?"

Xiao Qingyin expressed her curiosity.

She even wondered if Lu Ye might actually be a walking, human-shaped remedy.

Otherwise, how could such an enthralling fragrance be emitted?

A sentient remedy?

At this thought, Xiao Qingyin couldn’t help but chuckle. In their current situation, the speculation wasn’t just far-fetched; it had some plausibility. Only if he were a sentient remedy would his cultivation speed be so monstrous.

...

Outside, at Wuxiang Mountain.

Another period passed, and Jiang Lingyue’s expertise in the Tier Three alchemy realm became increasingly refined.

At this time, Jiang Lingyue had undeniably become the leading young figure in the Wuxiang Sect.

News of Jiang Lingyue began to spread in the Northern Territory.

Whether it was about the youngest Tier Three alchemist in the Northern Territory or Danling City’s previous attempt to recruit Jiang Lingyue, these were topics that sparked public discussion.

Now, Jiang Lingyue felt that with a little more time, reaching Tier Four alchemist was not so far off.

Feeling joyful, Jiang Lingyue wanted to share her happiness with that rascal.

To her surprise, when she took out the Communication Jade Token to send a message to Lu Ye, she was startled to find... she couldn’t reach him.

"Huh, what’s happening here?"

The last time when Lu Ye was in the Red Cloud Sect’s secret realm, a similar situation occurred.

Though, Jiang Lingyue hadn’t sent a message to Lu Ye at that time and was unaware of the incident. This was her first encounter with it.

She arrived at Senior Sister Yu Yu’s courtyard and knocked on the door.

"Senior Sister, are you home?"

A moment later, Yu Yu appeared, smiling as she said, "You busy bee, how do you have time to visit me today?"

Lately, Jiang Lingyue was either engaged in alchemy or on her way to it.

The little remaining time was mostly spent on cultivation.

Therefore, her time spent with Yu Yu had decreased significantly, making Yu Yu surprised that Jiang Lingyue sought her out today.

"Senior Sister, there’s something I don’t understand, so I wanted to ask you about it," Jiang Lingyue said.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me, and if I know, I can help you out," Yu Yu said, curious.

"It’s just that I wanted to send a message to someone, but it just won’t go through. What’s happening?" Jiang Lingyue scratched her head. Could it be that rascal... deleted her?!

The thought made Jiang Lingyue almost laugh aloud. As mischievous as he was, he couldn’t be someone like that.

She hadn’t asked him for anything, and moreover... she was even willing to be the subordinate.

Hearing Jiang Lingyue’s words, Yu Yu showed a thoughtful look.

After pondering for a long time, she finally spoke, "This situation you’re describing, I think perhaps the person you’re trying to contact is not in our region."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was taken aback.

What did it mean that he was not in this ’Hell’?

Could it be... Lu Ye was no longer in the Northern Territory?!

"Ah, what’s going on? Senior Sister, please explain," Jiang Lingyue urgently grabbed Yu Yu’s arm, quickly asking her.

Yu Yu jokingly replied, "Junior Sister Jiang, why are you so anxious? Is it possible that your little lover ran away?"

Yu Yu had rarely seen Jiang Lingyue show such a worried expression.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Yu said this, Jiang Lingyue’s face slightly reddened.

Indeed, Senior Sister’s words hit the mark!

Seeing Jiang Lingyue not refute and her cheeks slightly red, Yu Yu was surprised, "Did I actually guess right?"

Jiang Lingyue shook her head, "I don’t know if he ran or not, but all of a sudden, I just can’t reach him, I’m unsure why."

"In these cases, it’s possible that the other party has entered a secret realm because the plane level of the secret realm is not in Xuanzhou, but in an independent space, so this situation arises," Yu Yu explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue felt a great sense of relief.

She thought Lu Ye had left the Northern Territory without saying a word to her.

But if it involved entering a secret realm, it made a lot of sense. Given his rapid cultivation, he would certainly go wherever there was an opportunity.

"Now I can rest easy." She patted her already budding chest, letting out a deep breath.

"Junior Sister Jiang, the man outside Red Maple City that night, is it your sweetheart?" Yu Yu asked, recalling an incident.

With a mischievous gleam in her eyes, Jiang Lingyue smiled slyly, grinning as she asked back, "Senior Sister, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Yu Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Who would’ve thought this little Junior Sister had gotten so smart, turning my words back on me.

...

In the Yunyao Secret Realm, inside the cave.

In the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed.

Since Xiao Ling’s advancement, the quality of the Origin Spirit Liquid provided had indeed improved.

It didn’t refine as quickly as before.

During the entire day, Lu Ye’s Ancient Star Scripture was continuously operating at full capacity.

The power of the spirit liquid within him still had a portion left unfined.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s realm had already surpassed the limits of the Seventh Layer Mortal Realm Grandmaster, seamlessly advancing into the Eighth Layer, reaching its middle stage!

According to Lu Ye’s estimation, refining the remaining internal energy might bring him directly to the late stage of the Eighth Layer!

The breakthrough to the Ninth Layer Mortal Realm Grandmaster was just a small step away.

However, the breakthrough to the Ninth Layer was something Lu Ye didn’t dare consider for now; it might not be possible to achieve with this opportunity.

After all, the energy required for such a breakthrough was exceedingly vast.

In the outer cave.

Xiao Qingyin was also cultivating.

Throughout the day, smelling the fragrance emanating from the inner cave, Xiao Qingyin felt herself more energized for cultivation.

This also piqued her curiosity about Lu Ye’s physique.

While both were engrossed in their cultivation, a pair of figures were approaching from not far away from the mountain cave...
