CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 280 YET AGAIN... ANOTHER REALM BREAKTHROUGH!

"Brother Xuan, it’s like this: after you left last time, I felt I was about to break through."

"I was just about to succeed when the spiritual beast formed by my spiritual power suddenly dissipated!"

"So, I failed!"

"After that, I kept feeling something was off, no longer having that sense of breaking through."

Ning Long quietly explained at this time.

It’s not that he wasn’t trying hard; he was clearly about to reach the Breaking Realm Immortal Grade, but with a snap, the spiritual beast transformed by his spiritual power just collapsed.

At that moment, he was completely stunned!

"It suddenly dissipated?"

Chen Xuan murmured, suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "When did this happen?"

"About more than a month ago?"

Ning Xin responded.

That’s also why she just explained to the two of them.

"I knew it!"

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

This timing, wasn’t it exactly when the rabbit appeared last time?

Since then, he hadn’t been able to summon it again.

Could it be that Ning Long was also affected by this?

"If that’s really the case, then this rabbit has a big problem?"

Chen Xuan speculated in his heart.

"Alright, we’ll let this go this time, you all continue with your cultivation!"

"Oh....!"

....

After breakfast, Chen Xuan took Luan Ying to his cultivation room.

He was prepared to pass on all subsequent Myriad Manifestation Skills to her.

"This is all the Myriad Manifestation Skill, a total of ten levels! It allows you to cultivate up to Tier Eight of the Divine Soul!"

Chen Xuan said slowly.

"What about after that?"

During this period, she had learned a lot about Martial Dao cultivation from Ning Xin.

Thus, when Chen Xuan mentioned cultivating up to Tier Eight of the Divine Soul, she found it strange, since she was already at Tier Two of the Divine Soul now.

At her cultivation speed, she probably wouldn’t need long to reach Tier Eight.

"That’s it!"

Chen Xuan spread his hands, helplessly.

Because the Nine Elements Dao Skill couldn’t yet be developed, even with a pair of raw stones in his hand, he wasn’t in a hurry to develop the Myriad Manifestation Skill.

"Ah....!"

Luan Ying showed a look of disappointment; didn’t this mean she could only cultivate up to Tier Eight of the Divine Soul at most?

"Don’t worry, you don’t need to worry about this. Your husband will solve it for you. Besides, with your talent in spirit cultivation, perhaps you can deduce the subsequent cultivation techniques yourself!"

"Husband, I can deduce it too?"

Luan Ying seemed a bit doubtful about what he said.

She remembered that these cultivation techniques were created and deduced by top masters; could she, a mere first-grade, do it too?

"Why not? Your talent in spirit cultivation is so extraordinary, of course you can!"

Chen Xuan painted a grand picture for her.

Just to inspire her potential, and to let her cultivate at ease.

As for his heart...he didn’t have too much hope.

Because the techniques deduced by the system are perfect; his master couldn’t deduce them back then for this reason.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try then!"

Upon hearing this, Luan Ying seemed ready to give it a go.

"That’s better, you just focus on cultivating!"

"Hmm!"

...

Chen Xuan left the room and went to the study.

At this moment, Qin Ke was already waiting for him there.

"Congratulations, Master!"

Chen Xuan’s grand marriage was, of course, known to him. He had originally wanted to have a drink at the celebration but was refused.

He was told everything was arranged by Ning Xin.

Although he had wanted to go, there was nothing he could do about it now.

"Thanks!"

Chen Xuan smiled, then looked at him and praised, "Your eye for people is quite something. Did you have this thought back then?"

Though he didn’t say it outright, Qin Ke certainly understood.

"Hehe!"

He chuckled, then explained, "Back then, I just thought that Luan Ying... oh no, now it’s Mistress, could serve Master well without thinking much!"

"Besides, you also saw, my eye is still not as good as Master’s; Mistress’s talent in spirit cultivation is completely unseen."

Qin Ke couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Since the start of cultivation, it’s only been a little over two months, and she’s already at first-grade.

This speed.... is simply extraordinary.

Of course, Master must have helped a lot, or so he guessed in his heart.

Chen Xuan saw through his thoughts, smiled in his heart, but didn’t reveal anything.

His Telepathy had reached a perfect level, so even without using it deliberately, he could sense something, which he only realized today.

As for the other two divine techniques, he hadn’t had the chance to try them yet!

Of course, what he anticipated most was the evolution of divine techniques.

"Master, this is a gift that your disciple prepared for you. Please don’t despise it; it’s nothing much, just a token of my regards!"

As he spoke, Qin Ke handed over a red box.

Chen Xuan wasn’t expecting him to prepare something like this, but seeing his determination, not accepting it was not an option.

He then took it over.

"Shall I open it and take a look?"

Chen Xuan inquired.

"Please do!" Qin Ke extended a hand, very respectfully.

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, then opened the box, revealing two green jade pendants in a ring shape.

Spiritual qi wafted from their surfaces.

Chen Xuan looked at him, thanking him, "These two jade pendants must have cost quite a bit, right?"

"Money, once earned, of course it should be spent. You know how the brothel business is, this is nothing!"

Qin Ke laughed softly.

Spending money was one thing; what mattered most was Chen Xuan’s satisfaction.

"You’ve been extravagant!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile, becoming more and more pleased with this young man.

It’s not about the jade itself but the fact that he’s willing to spend, and spend a large amount.

That’s enough!

He then closed the box and placed it on a table nearby before asking, "Is there any news from the Three Judicial Departments?"

"No!"

Qin Ke shook his head.

Zongzheng hadn’t approached him these days either.

He didn’t dare to ask more.

"Phew—"

Chen Xuan exhaled a long breath, his expression complex.

’Could it be that the Three Judicial Departments are wary of the Crane King, so they don’t dare?’

Other than this, he couldn’t think of another reason.

If that’s really the case, then it’s a problem.

Previously, he thought of using Qin Ke to voice this matter, then let the Three Judicial Departments deal with the Yang Family and subsequently the Crane King.

But... it seems to have backfired a bit.

Zongzheng had warned Qin Ke not to divulge this matter.

This also led to the current situation where even if he wanted to spread the news, he couldn’t, otherwise, Qin Ke would be in trouble.

As his teacher, he definitely couldn’t do that.

"Right, Master, during a meal with other Chief Constables from the Three Judicial Departments the other day, I heard something. But it was said after getting drunk, so I don’t know if it’s true."

Qin Ke suddenly remembered inviting those people for a drink not long ago, and suddenly the matter between Director Zong Peng of the Three Judicial Departments and the Crane King was brought up.

However, at the time, he was somewhat tipsy himself, so he didn’t take it seriously.

Now that the Three Judicial Departments are so quiet, it felt strange, and he recalled it.

"What matter?"

Chen Xuan asked immediately.

"Director Zong Peng of the Three Judicial Departments holds a grudge against the Crane King! And it’s a life-and-death kind of grudge!"

"This was told by a White-clothed Chief Constable, and it was already mentioned when Lord Zong Peng and the others came to Molan Mansion!"

This made Chen Xuan even more confused.

Given there’s a life-and-death enmity, such an opportunity would definitely not be missed.

Once they captured evidence that all of this was orchestrated by the Crane King and the Yang Family, Great Yu certainly wouldn’t spare the Crane King.

"At which point did something go wrong?"

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but mutter softly.

"Disciple thinks perhaps it’s because the Crane King is too strong, so Lord Zong Peng has concerns, considering this is Molan Mansion, under Crane King’s domain! The Three Judicial Departments are only cooperating with the Crane King to manage."

"Even with a life-and-death grudge, they wouldn’t easily act unless they could deliver a decisive blow to the Crane King."

Qin Ke expressed his thoughts.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly; he had thought of this before but wasn’t sure.

Now Qin Ke felt the same way.

"Is this a case of either not acting or acting with overwhelming force?"

Chen Xuan now roughly understood the thoughts of the Zong Peng brothers.

"If that’s the case... then we wait!"

At this point, there’s nothing more to be done.

"Hmm!"

...

A few days later.

The Nine Elements Dao Skill could finally evolve again.

With the support of these raw stones, it smoothly evolved into the subsequent realm this time.

Half a month later.

The Myriad Manifestation Skill also smoothly evolved to the subsequent cultivation technique.

At this, these raw stones turned into powder.

During this time,

The Three Judicial Departments still didn’t make any movements.

But after roughly guessing Zong Peng’s intentions,

Chen Xuan wasn’t in a hurry either.

After all, he and the Crane King were sworn enemies.

He would definitely be more eager.

Of course, Chen Xuan wasn’t idle either; before leaving Molan Mansion, he had instructed the forces under his control to arrange for people to infiltrate every family in Molan Mansion.

After such a long time,

Almost all families had his people present.

Chen Xuan personally appeared at each major force every few days to gather information.

Most of the time, it was just tabloid stuff.

For instance,

’A young master’s concubine had an affair with an outsider!’

’The young master of that family is no good!’

’There are also people with peculiar habits.’

And so on!

Of course, they were not core disciples, and their strengths were mediocre.

After all, those core disciples were too powerful, and any slight movement would definitely be noticed.

But what pleased him the most during this time was his cultivation speed.

It could be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

Currently, a day’s cultivation could increase the Nine Elements Dao Skill by 100,000 points of progress.

All of this was thanks to the Earth Spirit Body.

But it was only effective for Martial Cultivators, not at all for Spirit Cultivators.

Thus, another three months passed.

While cultivating in his study, Chen Xuan was suddenly startled by a powerful burst of spiritual power.

"That’s... Luan Ying’s room for cultivation!"

"Could it be.....!"

Upon realizing something, Chen Xuan’s expression changed, stepping out in an instant, vanishing from the study.

"Indeed, she’s about to break through!"

Chen Xuan was dumbfounded at Luan Ying, who was in cultivation.

It’s known that two months ago, she had cultivated to Tier Eight of the Divine Soul and spent another month reaching Tier Nine of the Divine Soul.

Now... she’s breaking through again.

How much time had passed!

It’s simply... an absolute prodigy among prodigies!

People were shocked!

He originally thought his cultivation speed granted by the Earth Spirit Body was monstrous enough, but compared to Luan Ying, it was nothing!

But it’s certain that she must also possess some Spirit Body.

At this moment, Luan Ying was surrounded by waves of formidable spiritual power, each wave terrifyingly powerful.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly!

"It’s coming!"
