The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

Wang Long's gaze fell on the Immortal Palace mark on the back of his hand, then he looked at Ye Niannu and said in a deep voice.

"Niannu, there are two days left until the second round."

Ye Niannu lifted her head from under the covers to look at him, her peach blossom eyes filled with curiosity.

"Hmm? What's wrong, my lord? Aren't we going to cultivate together today?"

She was also looking forward to Wang Long's performance tonight.

"For the next couple of days, we'll continue our training in the Time Chamber."

Wang Long looked at her intently.

"During the gathering just now, I kept thinking that although we won the first round, it was because we took advantage of the information gap and the terrain."

"The real masters, such as Zhao Heng, Ling Feng, and Yang Tieyi, did not reveal all their trump cards in the first round."

"They were eliminated, not because they were weak, but because they hadn't had a chance to use their real killer moves."

"If the second round is a gauntlet tournament, we will be facing them at their peak, and it will be in the form of a gauntlet tournament."

Ye Niannu sat up, her peach blossom eyes becoming more serious.

She didn't interrupt him and listened quietly.

"We now have spirit stones and resources. The Time Chamber can give us the equivalent of twenty days of cultivation time in two days. These twenty days are enough for us to make another breakthrough."

"Or rather, at least solidify your current level to its peak."

After listening, Ye Niannu remained silent for a few moments, then stood up and patted her skirt.

"Then why wait, young master? Let's go."

She didn't hesitate at all, acting decisively as if she had been prepared for it all along.

Wang Long looked at her, smiled, and said nothing more.

He raised his right hand, and the Immortal Palace mark on the back of his hand glowed slightly. A soft purple-gold light emanated from the mark, enveloping the two of them.

The light shifted gently, and in the next instant, the two figures disappeared from the house.

The scene before them flickered slightly, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a celestial palace.

The stars on the dome continued to rotate slowly, casting down silvery-white light and enveloping the entire palace in a warm and tranquil halo.

Xiao Xian'er's figure floated down from the sky and landed on Wang Long's shoulder, her little face full of joy.

"Master! Little Fairy senses you've entered!"

Her gaze swept over the two of them, then she tilted her head as if she had discovered something.

"Huh, Master's spiritual power is much stronger than when he came in last time, and so is Sister Ye's."

Ye Niannu smiled and reached out to poke her little face.

"We're planning to come in and train, we're counting on you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian'er immediately puffed out her little chest.

"Leave it to me! I've already fine-tuned the array in the House of Time to its most stable state, and the spirit stone consumption has been minimized. Master and Sister Ye can just focus on their cultivation!"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and with a wave of her small hand, a golden fluffy ball was lifted from the corner of the palace by a gentle force and steadily delivered to Wang Long.

It was Little Chirp, curled up asleep. It seemed to have been awakened by the noise, and opened its eyes groggily, letting out a soft "Chirp".

Wang Long reached out and caught it, then rubbed its fluffy head.

"Little Chirp, come in and cultivate with us. Don't just sleep. There's enough monster meat outside for you to eat for a while."

When Little Chick heard there was food, its eyes lit up instantly. Its round eyes, which had been slightly sleepy, widened in a flash, and it flapped its wings and jumped out of his palm.

It flew around him once, nuzzled his cheek with its head, and then obediently landed on his shoulder and sat down.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian'er clapped her hands.

"Alright! Masters, please follow me. The Time Chamber is ready."

As she spoke, she turned and drifted deeper into the palace, her small figure leaving a pale golden trail in the starlight.

Wang Long and Ye Niannu followed behind her, passing through the main hall and walking along the corridor covered with runes to the end.

The heavy stone door slid open silently, and warm white light poured out of the room, carrying a spiritual energy so rich it was almost tangible.

In the center of the secret room, two futons were already set up. The futons were woven from some kind of unknown spiritual herb and emitted a faint fragrance.

The surrounding walls were covered with densely packed runes, which were now slowly radiating a warm light, like a gently flowing river.

Wang Long and Ye Niannu sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, their four palms facing each other and touching.

The little fairy floated above the secret chamber, waved her little hand, and the stars on the dome lit up at the same time, the starlight cascading down like a waterfall, illuminating the entire secret chamber.

A rich spiritual energy surged in from all directions, enveloping the two of them.

"Master, the Time Chamber has been activated."

Xiao Xian'er's voice echoed in the secret room.

"Little Fairy will keep a close eye on the formation's operation and will not allow any accidents to disturb Master's cultivation."

Xiao Qiu was gently lifted to a corner of the secret room, where a small pile of roasted monster meat had appeared, glistening with a caramelized aroma and oil, piled up like a small mountain.

When the little chick saw the pile of meat, it flapped its wings faster and plunged into the meat, burying its head in it and eating voraciously. Its fur was covered in oil droplets as it ate, and it squinted its eyes in satisfaction.

Wang Long watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips, then composed himself and closed his eyes.

The Chaos Dao Body operates on its own, and spiritual power and mental power begin to flow simultaneously in the meridians.

The spiritual energy in the secret chamber flowed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea, circulating, cleansing, and refining along his meridians, immersing every inch of his flesh and blood and every meridian in the rich spiritual energy.

Ye Niannu also closed her eyes. The spiritual power of the mid-stage Supreme Realm flowed smoothly in her body, slowly flowing into Wang Long's body through the meridians that connected their palms, and then flowing back with Wang Long's spiritual power, forming a perfect cycle.

Their auras intertwined, slowly rising within the House of Time, like two rivers gradually rising, nourishing and enriching each other.

There is no day or night in the secret chamber, only the endless starlight that rotates eternally.

One day, two days, three days... Time passed silently during cultivation.

Wang Long could feel his meridians being widened layer by layer, and his spiritual energy was like refined iron that had been repeatedly purified, becoming more and more solid with each passing moment.

The combat experience accumulated in the Spirit Realm and the first round of competition is now deeply integrated with the tempering of spiritual power, transforming into a more instinctive perception.

He vaguely sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the threshold of the mid-stage of the Supreme Realm.

Ye Niannu's aura was also steadily rising.

She had only recently broken through to the mid-stage of the Supreme Realm, and in theory, it would be difficult for her to make significant progress in a short period of time. However, under the combined effects of the high concentration of spiritual energy in the Time Chamber and the dual cultivation cycle, her spiritual power was being continuously refined in an extremely stable yet exceptionally solid manner.

Another cycle of spiritual energy has ended.

Wang Long exhaled a soft breath, opened his eyes, and saw that Ye Niannu was also looking at him with her eyes open. Their gazes met in the starlight, both carrying a satisfied smile.

Wang Long turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qiu, who was squatting in the corner, having already eaten most of the meat pile and now curled up in a ball and dozing off contentedly. He then looked up at the stars that were still slowly rotating in the dome.

He spoke in a low voice, very soft, yet with a certainty.

"Niannu, let's play another round."

Ye Niannu smiled, closed her eyes again, and pressed her palm against his.

"it is good."

Little Fairy floated above the secret chamber, her hands on her hips. Seeing Wang Long and Ye Niannu resume their cultivation, her little face was full of seriousness as she meticulously continued to regulate every strand of spiritual energy flow in the formation, ensuring that the House of Time always operated in the most stable state.

The starlight from the dome fell silently, enveloping the slowly rising aura in the secret chamber in a warm and reassuring glow.
