Consuming Points, Qiong Xiao's Strength Soars

A soft moan, filled with unspeakable allure, drifted through the silent cave.

The moment she spoke, Qiong Xiao froze. Her hazy consciousness was doused by a bucket of cold water, waking her up.

What... what sound had she just made?

BOOM!

A scorching hot current surged from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head. Qiong Xiao's entire face, along with her fair neck and delicate earlobes, instantly flushed as if about to bleed.

It's over.

It's all over.

To think she had made such a shameful sound during this intimate healing process.

What would her Master think of her?

Would he consider her a... frivolous and debauched woman?

Qiong Xiao was so overcome with shame and anger that she wished she could detonate her Primordial Spirit on the spot and bid farewell to this world forever.

Just as Qiong Xiao's thoughts descended into chaos, to the point where she was contemplating the possibility of destroying the universe, the broad palm pressed against her back slowly withdrew, without the slightest ripple.

The gentle and vast life energy also receded like a tide.

Immediately after, Lin Feng's voice, so calm as if nothing had happened, echoed in the cave.

"It's done."

Done?

What was done?

Qiong Xiao's mind was still lagging, and she didn't react for a moment.

Subconsciously, following her instincts, she willed her mind and looked inward.

Upon seeing this, Qiong Xiao was struck by lightning again, standing frozen on the spot.

Her Dao Foundation, which had been covered in spiderweb-like cracks and seemed on the verge of shattering at any second, was now completely intact, smooth as jade, without the slightest flaw.

No!

This wasn't just intact!

Qiong Xiao could clearly feel that her current Dao Foundation was even more stable and purer than before she was injured, even more so than when she had just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm!

Above the Dao Foundation, the patterns representing her comprehension of the Great Dao were more than ten times clearer, flowing with a kind of perfect and flawless Dao charm.

Deep within the core of her Dao Foundation, streams of the purest essence energy were slowly regenerating, nourishing her limbs and bones, allowing her depleted Vital Energy to recover at an incredible speed.

This... how is this possible!

Qiong Xiao's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips parted, and a monstrous wave surged within her heart.

A damaged Dao Foundation, in the Primordial World, was almost equivalent to the severance of one's cultivation path.

Even a Sage's intervention could at best only stabilize the injury. To fully repair it, one would need to find a legendary Innate Spiritual Root or expend unimaginable resources for even a sliver of a chance.

But now?

Her injury, which could stump even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, had not only been healed in mere moments by her Master, but her foundation had also been elevated as if reborn!

What kind of technique was this?

What kind of power was this?

This had surpassed her understanding of the word "healing"!

This wasn't healing at all, it was a rebirth! It was reversing the heavens and reshaping the foundation!

Qiong Xiao stiffly turned around, looking up at the man sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.

In the dim light, Lin Feng's face remained calm, his eyes indifferent, as if he had just done something trivial.

But this calmness, in Qiong Xiao's eyes, was more shocking than any earth-shattering phenomenon.

For a moment, all of Qiong Xiao's shyness and wild thoughts were replaced by an even more extreme sense of awe and gratitude.

She opened her mouth, wanting to express her thanks, but found her throat incredibly dry, unable to utter a single word.

What incredible fortune was it to be able to follow such an existence?

It was a supreme opportunity she had exchanged for by burning through the luck of a hundred lifetimes!

Qiong Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and was about to kneel again to express her gratitude with the most devout posture.

Lin Feng's calm gaze swept over her, as if he had seen through her thoughts.

"This is just the beginning."

These five plain words struck Qiong Xiao's mind like a divine thunderbolt from the heavens.

Just... the beginning?

Qiong Xiao was completely stunned.

To reconnect her severed path, to transform her foundation as if reborn, such a heaven-defying gift... was it really just the beginning?

"What happens next?"

"What will happen next?"

Qiong Xiao's mind had completely stopped working.

She could only stare blankly at Lin Feng, like a believer waiting for a god to descend with an edict.

Lin Feng didn't say anything further.

He glanced at his system panel.

[Current Points: 700.]

Repairing the Dao Foundation cost five hundred, leaving seven hundred.

Lin Feng's eyes showed no fluctuation as he mentally communicated with the system again.

He never hesitated to spend money on his maidservant.

Moreover, the stronger the maidservant, the greater the power he could wield.

"System, inject the remaining seven hundred Points into Qiong Xiao's body, choose to improve her cultivation."

Lin Feng's command was crisp and decisive.

He didn't bother asking if seven hundred Points was enough, nor did he care about the system's listed price of one thousand.

In his mind, the system was like a vegetable market; couldn't you haggle?

You get what you pay for.

As his thought landed.

Buzz!

A torrent of Spiritual Energy, more than ten times larger than the life energy from before, materialized from the void without warning. It was like the Milky Way breaking its dam in the heavens, pouring down fiercely and surging into Qiong Xiao's Purple Mansion!

"Ngh!"

This sudden turn of events made Qiong Xiao's face change drastically.

If the energy from before was like a gentle spring breeze turning into rain, then this current energy was a Primordial World-level behemoth capable of destroying everything!

Its purity was something she had never witnessed in her life, surpassing the chaotic Spiritual Energy in a Sage's dojo by countless levels!

With such a massive amount of energy infusing her body, one wrong move could lead to her exploding and dying!

Qiong Xiao was terrified out of her wits and instinctively prepared to circulate her Immortal Essence to seal her Purple Mansion.

But Lin Feng's indifferent eyes were watching.

Qiong Xiao's movements instantly froze.

She suddenly remembered that this man before her was her Master.

Master would not harm her.

The moment this thought arose, Qiong Xiao abandoned all resistance, completely opening her mind and Purple Mansion, allowing the world-destroying torrent of energy to rage and scour within her body!

Rumble!

Qiong Xiao's Purple Mansion's celestial platform was as insignificant as a small boat in a raging sea before this power.

The bottleneck of Early Golden Immortal, which had troubled her for hundreds of years and which she had tried every means to overcome, stood like an unshakeable, eternal divine mountain on her path.

But now, before that overbearing and peerless torrent of energy, this so-called "divine mountain" was as fragile as paper.

Crack!

A crisp breaking sound, not from the outside, but directly from the deepest part of Qiong Xiao's soul.

The bottleneck couldn't even last for a single breath before it was shattered into pieces and turned to dust by the violent torrent of energy!

Breaking through all obstacles!

Crushing everything!

She broke through!

Just like that... she broke through?!

Qiong Xiao's consciousness fell into a blank void.

However, her aura began to climb madly at this moment!

Peak Early Golden Immortal!

Mid Golden Immortal!

The speed of ascent did not slow down at all, advancing triumphantly until the realm of Mid Golden Immortal was completely stabilized. Only then did the torrent of energy, as if having completed its mission, slowly subside, transforming into the purest Immortal Essence and settling in her Purple Mansion's Qi Sea.

The entire process was incredibly fast.

Qiong Xiao slowly raised her hand, looking somewhat dazed at her fair palm.

A surge of powerful Immortal Essence, which she had never felt before and which felt foreign to her, was flowing quietly within her body.

Her divine sense merely swept out, and she could perceive everything within a thousand-mile radius, down to the slightest rustle of grass and the slightest movement of wind.

With every movement, it was as if she could resonate with the laws of heaven and earth.

This is... the power of an Early Golden Immortal?

What made it even more inconceivable to Qiong Xiao was that despite such a rapid breakthrough, her foundation didn't feel even a shred of instability. Instead, it was more solid and stable than before!

It was as if she was a natural Early Golden Immortal, as if she had been immersed in this realm for countless ages!

Shock.

Bewilderment.

Disbelief.

Various emotions intertwined, ultimately transforming into a vast blankness that filled Qiong Xiao's mind.

Repairing the Dao Foundation.

Improving Cultivation Level.

From a cripple whose path was severed and who was on the brink of death, to an Early Golden Immortal expert with a stable foundation and greatly increased strength.

All these earth-shattering changes happened in the time it takes a single stick of incense to burn.

All within that man's single thought.

Qiong Xiao's beautiful eyes completely lost focus as she stared blankly at Lin Feng, the man still seated on the stone platform with no change in his expression.

At this moment, in her eyes, Lin Feng's figure had completely merged with some indescribable, unfathomable, supreme Dao.
