The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

“Saintess Xiao, the one who just left was Senior Chen Beixuan,” a cultivator said.

In any case, neither side is someone they can afford to offend. If anyone asks them anything, they will just tell them everything they have seen.

"It really is him..."

The Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace confirmed her thoughts, her eyes narrowing as she realized that the figure standing in front of the teleportation pillar looked familiar.

"You ran away as soon as you saw me? Is it a case of 'kings never meeting kings'... or are you, Chen Beixuan, intentionally avoiding my wrath?"

Seeing Lu Ye run away upon seeing her only fueled the Saintess of the Sea Spirit's fighting spirit.

There's no way he could just show off in front of everyone and walk away unscathed.

"Let's see if you can run faster or I can catch you faster."

The next moment, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Temple also entered the teleportation pillar and disappeared.

Watching the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace disappear again, these hesitant cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief. Facing such a peak expert, they felt that every second was torture.

Fortunately, neither of these two killers lingered there for long before leaving one after the other.

The second floor of the Mystic Palace.

The second level is much more vast, and the location from which the teleportation beams enter is also uncertain.

After emerging from teleportation, Lu Ye first looked around.

They breathed a slight sigh of relief when they found no trace of the Sea Spirit Saintess.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" After thinking for a moment, Qingyu asked curiously, "Are you avoiding that Sea Spirit Saintess?"

There was no need to hide this, Lu Ye nodded and said.

“That’s right. I feel like she wants to fight me again. It’s a waste of time and there’s no point in fighting like that.”

Qingyu smiled and said, "I knew that she was a little resentful because I noticed that the Sea Spirit Saintess's domain hadn't clashed with you before."

Those exceptional talents always possess an unwavering confidence, believing themselves to be invincible among their peers.

If Lu Ye were a little older, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit might be able to understand things better.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye was even younger than her.

Shaking his head, Lu Ye said, "Let's ignore her. We'll avoid her if we see her."

Lu Ye was indeed unwilling to get entangled with the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit, after all, the Sea Spirit Palace behind her was powerful enough to rival the Heavenly Palace.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu nodded with a smile.

This was the first time she had ever seen her son-in-law with such a slightly helpless expression.

A moment later, the two found several spiritual herbs among the thorns, all of which were of the fifth rank or higher.

"No wonder everyone says the Mystic Palace is dangerous, but every time it opens, so many people are still willing to come in."

Looking at these high-grade spiritual herbs, Lu Ye said.

If a daring Grandmaster followed and entered the second level, the gains from this wave alone would be quite considerable.

"Qingyu, take these few fifth-grade spiritual herbs."

He now needs at least a sixth-grade spiritual medicine to achieve any noticeable effect.

"Young Master, you're still so good to Qingyu." Hearing this, Qingyu was touched and looked at Lu Ye, as if she wanted to do something. Lu Ye, however, had already looked away, observing the movements elsewhere.

He's now afraid that somewhere else, that woman, the Sea Spirit Saintess, might suddenly appear...

Seeing Lu Ye so casually shift his gaze, Qingyu felt a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged.

We've only just met the son-in-law; there's still plenty of time ahead!
The son-in-law can run around for a day, or for a month, but can he run around for a year?
Even a spirit beast with a trace of the bloodline of an ancient divine lion cannot escape her grasp. This little son-in-law... she'll get him sooner or later!
Lu Ye was unaware that Qingyu, while picking medicinal herbs, was actually thinking about these things.

At this moment, he was thinking about whether he could help Qingyu.

Lu Ye could sense that Qingyu's current realm was also at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, only one step away from the Earth Realm.

Lu Ye felt that with the few Earth Realm Pills he had previously kept, combined with the spiritual herbs he had, he could help Qingyu cross this threshold.

After thinking for a moment, he felt it was feasible. Although it would require using some resources, considering that Qingyu was willing to follow him and was wholeheartedly committed to him, Lu Ye felt that it was okay to treat his own people well.

After Qingyu finished picking those few spiritual herbs, Lu Ye went straight to the point.

"Qingyu, are you at the ninth level of the mortal realm?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Young master, you are not mistaken. I am indeed at the ninth level of the mortal realm. However, the Earth Realm is extremely difficult to break through. In fact, I tried once before when I was in the Holy Mountain, but unfortunately, I failed."

Failed?
Lu Ye nodded and said, "I happen to have some resources on hand. It's been a long time since we last met. I'd like to help you try to break through the Earth Realm barrier. If you succeed, consider it a gift for our reunion."

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Qingyu was stunned. A gift to mark their reunion...

A touch of emotion appeared in Qingyu's eyes, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, thank you, son-in-law. Whether it succeeds or not, it is a very precious gift for Qingyu!"

The resources needed to conquer a level are not a small amount; if you fail, all of these resources will be wasted.

Now that she heard Lu Ye bring up the matter himself and say that he would help her break through the barrier, how could Qingyu not be moved?
The two found a secluded spot, where Lu Ye set up a protective barrier to avoid being disturbed.

Qingyu followed Lu Ye's instructions and sat cross-legged on a blue stone.

"Don't be nervous, relax. Even if you fail, it's not a big deal. It's just some resources. You can earn more if you run out."

Seeing Qingyu sit cross-legged with a tense expression as if facing a formidable enemy, Lu Ye immediately laughed to help her relax.

“Young Master, I…I’m not nervous,” Qingyu said softly.

Although she was still a little nervous when speaking, after what Master Lu said, Qingyu tried her best to calm herself down.

When it comes to breakthroughs, being too nervous can be counterproductive.

The next moment, Lu Ye gave a low shout: "Close your eyes and circulate your energy."

Qingyu immediately did as instructed.

Next, Qingyu found that she didn't need to have any other thoughts; she just needed to follow her son-in-law's instructions.

"Open your mouth and receive the elixir..."

"There's another Earth Realm Pill here. Continue refining it."

Lu Ye's calm words came one by one.

Qingyu discovered that she had not been able to touch the barrier of the Earth Realm for some time since her last failed breakthrough.

As wave after wave of energy surged in, it reappeared before my eyes.

Qingyu gritted her teeth, muttering to herself, "I can't let the young master down. Damn Earth Realm barrier... break it!" (End of Chapter)
