Translator: 549690339
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, and it was late at night, the outside remained peaceful as ever.
“I’m sorry, my lord, I have my monthly cycle today, I’m afraid I can’t serve you tonight,” said Ji Bingyu apologetically.
“It’s alright.”
Zhou Sui waved his hand and assured her.
Though he was used to practicing dual cultivation with his Dao partner at night, he didn’t mind taking a break occasionally.
“This won’t do. If I’m not able to serve my husband, I’m failing my duties as a wife. Why don’t you get a concubine who can take care of you when I’m not feeling well?” Ji Bingyu suggested.
What?!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui was flabbergasted. Even with his vivid imagination, he never expected Ji Bingyu to make such a suggestion, it was beyond his wildest dreams.
This was the first time he’d heard of a wife willingly suggesting her husband take a concubine.
“That’s… not really appropriate.”
Zhou Sui swallowed, hesitating.
“My lord, I know you love me, but it’s a failure on my part if I can’t serve you,” Ji Bingyu said.
“Expecting a powerful cultivator to be committed to one woman for their entire life just isn’t realistic.”
“So, I began to look for suitable candidates for a concubine for you.”
Ji Bingyu explained earnestly.
“This…!”
Zhou Sui was speechless. What kind of ideas had the notorious cultivation world planted in the heads of these female cultivators? To not only propose the idea of a concubine himself but to also have chosen the candidate he was bewildered.
In the moment, he didn’t know what to say. All he could think was that Ji Bingyu was truly a good Dao partner.
“Ahem, in that case, who have you chosen as the concubine?” Zhou Sui asked curiously.
“How about my friend Mu Ziyi?”
Ji Bingyu let out a slight smile. “She’s been my close sister for many years, has a gentle disposition, stunning beauty, and a good figure. She can take care of you when I can’t, and you also know each other, so there won’t be any discomfort.”
“But would she be willing?”
Zhou Sui blinked.
“Of course, she is. I talked to her today, and she agreed without hesitation. She must have been deeply attracted to you, my lord, so she didn’t refuse.”
Ji Bingyu laughed.
Click! At this moment, Mu Ziyi opened the door and walked in meekly. Blushing, she barely dared to look at Zhou Sui, blushing to an extreme.
“I’ll leave you two alone now.”
Ji Bingyu smiled and walked out of the room, leaving Zhou Sui and Mu Ziyi alone.
……
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon morning.
At this moment, a burst of information instantaneously entered the depths of Zhou Sui’s Sea of Consciousness.
“You performed dual cultivation with Dao partner Mu Ziyi seven times last night, and the love between you is strong.”
“You gained a certain level of experience in the art of talismans.”
“Your Spiritual Root Aptitude has improved to a certain extent.”
“You received the Yin Force from your partner, and your cultivation improved, you’ve elevated to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.”
In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed an enormous energy that instantly helped him break through a bottleneck, made a breakthrough in his meridian, and enhanced his True Yuan Force significantly.
Compared to before, the True Yuan Force was at least double.
Unmistakably, being in the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation implies that he had started to separate himself from struggling cultivators.
Even in Misty Cloud City, this level of cultivation began to set him apart from the lower-middle-class cultivators.
Now he understood why the Qi Cultivation midway is so much stronger than the initial stage, not only did the body undergo astonishing fortification, but the inner True Yuan Force also increased by more than double.
Simply, the crushing True Yuan Force alone is sufficient to eliminate four or five third level cultivators.
He could feel the surging True Yuan Force flowing through his meridians, a sense of great power filling his entire body.
“I didn’t expect to advance to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation so quickly.”
Zhou Sui was overjoyed.
Based on his estimations, under normal cultivation, it would take years to break through from the third level of Qi cultivation to the fourth level.
This was a significant bottleneck, even for someone with an eight-stage Spiritual Root Aptitude, a tremendous amount of time is required to breakthrough.
But now, after receiving Mu Ziyi’s Yin Force, he broke through the third level of Qi cultivation immediately, resulting in a significant increase in his cultivation.
“Congratulations, my lord, on upgrading to the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation.”
At this moment, Mu Ziyi also detected the change in Zhou Sui’s aura and said excitedly.
“I owe it all to you, Ziyi. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have broken through so quickly,” said Zhou Sui, appreciatively.
“No, no, it’s all because of your exceptional talents, my lord, I only helped a little. I didn’t really do anything.”
Mu Ziyi, redder than ever, feeling ecstasy, as if Zhou Sui praising her was the greatest accomplishment.
“But are you really okay with being my concubine? Isn’t it a bit unfair to you?” Zhou Sui asked.
“No, not at all, I find it an absolute honor to be chosen by you…given my background,” Mu Ziyi looked at Zhou Sui teary-eyed.
“Your background? Come to think of it, I don’t think you’ve ever spoken about your past, Ziyi.”
Zhou Sui asked curiously, wanting to know about Mu Ziyi’s past.
“There isn’t much to tell, I’m from the Mu family, a foundation establishment clan that’s quite far away from Misty Cloud City. I’m the daughter of a concubine.”
Mu Ziyi began to talk about her past. “Even though I’m a concubine’s daughter, I wasn’t treated badly because I had a Spiritual Root. I was provided with adequate resources.
Who would have thought that it was all a fa?ade? On my 18th birthday, the Mu family suddenly decided to marry me off to the patriarch of another Foundation Establishment clan, the Liu family.
The patriarch was indeed a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, he was an old man, over two hundred years old, and on the verge of death. Of course, I didn’t want to marry him.
But as a daughter of a concubine from the Mu family, I had no choice but to obey the family’s orders. They insisted that I marry him. Just as I was giving up hope, sister Ji appeared and rescued me. She took me away from the Mu family.
Even when the Mu family was livid, they couldn’t do anything to me.
Since then, I’ve been traveling the cultivation world with Sister Ji. She was my savior, she gave me a new life.”
She talked briefly about her past experience. She was twenty-nine years old now, with a Sixth Stage Spirit Root aptitude.
Moreover, she also was a First-grade Superior Talisman Master.
Without a doubt, she was an indisputable genius in the art of talismans.
