Dou King Seven Stars!

The celebratory banquet held for Xiao Yan lasted until late into the night before finally ending.

Seeing Xiao Yan leave, Lin Ming knew that after Xiao Yan returned to his family, he would head to the Jia Nan Academy. Therefore, their next meeting would be at Xiao Yan Jia Nan Academy, where they would compete for the Fallen Heart Flame based on their own abilities.

After all the guests had left, Lin Ming said goodbye to Elder Hai and then returned to his courtyard.

Days passed by, and more than a month went by in the blink of an eye. Today, while cultivating, Lin Ming suddenly felt an unstable fluctuation coming from his Dou Qi Dou Qi.

Sensing this fluctuation, Lin Ming, who had experienced this feeling countless times, was still delighted, but he wouldn't let his joy cause him to be careless in the slightest.

Calm and focused, Lin Ming methodically circulated his Cultivation Method, making progress towards a breakthrough in his cultivation level.

The last time Lin Ming broke through to the Six-Star Dou King was half a year ago after absorbing the Mysterious Yellow Flame. And it has taken half a year for him to break through to the Six-Star Dou King again, which is already quite slow for Lin Ming.

For others, such as Mittel Tengshan, breaking through to the first star of the Dou Wang in half a year is already incredibly fast.

For people like them, the time it takes to break through to the One-Star Dou King is at least a year, and that's still considered very fast.

This is why pills like the Spirit Dou Pill and the Imperial Pill, which can enhance the cultivation level of Dou Wang One-Star Dou Emperor, are so sought after.

After all, just one small pill can save one's time for a year or even several years, which naturally makes these pills extremely valuable.

However, if everyone can increase their cultivation level by one star in half a year at the Dou Wang or Dou Emperor stage, then the value of Spirit Dou Pill and Imperial Pill will be greatly reduced.

After all, it's only a six-month period. To pay such a high price to save those six months, aside from those who are truly rich and have nowhere to spend their money, probably only Alchemist would use it. Others would probably rarely pay such a high price to buy this pill.

The fact that Dou Wang's cultivation level increased by one star in half a year was already due to Lin Ming deliberate suppression.

The previous improvements were not achieved through Lin Ming's own hard work. Although Lin Ming possessed strong Soul Power and was extremely skilled at controlling these Dou Qi, what Lin Ming wanted was a more solid and stable foundation.

So much so that during this period, in addition to cultivation, Lin Ming spent a lot of time compressing and condensing his Dou Qi to make it more solid. And now, this breakthrough in cultivation has come after he has completely solidified this cultivation.

As Lin Ming's Cultivation Method circulated, his breakthrough in cultivation, which had been a natural progression, was no longer hindered in the slightest. After a little over an hour, he automatically completed the advancement in cultivation.

Looking at the still solid Dou Qi after the breakthrough, Lin Ming smiled and stretched as he emerged from his meditation.

When others break through their cultivation level, they usually need a period of consolidation. However, Lin Ming's breakthrough was so solid that his Dou Qi was already condensed to the point of being unsolidified. Therefore, even after the breakthrough, there was no trace of instability, and he didn't need to consolidate his cultivation at all.

Having completed his breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Ming left his room without further delay.

"Brother Lin Ming, why did you get up so late today?" Ya Fei called out when she saw Lin Ming come out.

Although it was only early morning, Lin Ming usually got up very early, but today he got up much later than usual, which is why Ya Fei asked such a question.

"It's nothing. I just broke through to the next level of cultivation, so it's just a little late." After sitting down next to Ya Fei and taking a bite of the breakfast on the table, Lin Ming spoke casually.

"Oh." Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Ya Fei subconsciously replied. But before she could finish speaking, Ya Fei suddenly realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise and delight, "What? Brother Lin Ming, your cultivation has broken through!"

"Yes, girl, you've broken through one star and reached the Dou King Seven Stars." Seeing Ya Fei's expression of surprise and joy, Lin Ming nodded and spoke gently to Ya Fei.

In this world, Lin Ming knew that there were some people who could rejoice at his advancement. For example, Elder Hai, Clan Leader Tengshan Mittel, Grandpa Liu, Master Toso, and other elders of the family. There were also people like Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin. But if you were to say who cared about him the most and cared about him the most, then Ya Fei would definitely be among them.

For Lin Ming, how could Lin Ming not be happy to have such a caring girl who was even happier to see him improve than she was to see him improve?

In his previous life, Lin Ming had no resources or power, and his efforts had yielded no results. He had thought about finding a powerful woman who could help him.

Although he didn't ultimately succeed, Lin Ming did have such thoughts at the time. But things are different now. Although Lin Ming isn't from a top-tier power, because of his foresight regarding the development of this world, coupled with his <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art Cultivation Method and his considerable talent, Lin Ming can now say that he no longer needs to think about finding a woman who can help his power and career to rely on.

Although Lin Ming wouldn't reject a woman he loved who met all his criteria, Lin Ming wouldn't search for her with that same purpose as he did in his previous life.

In his past life, he only had such thoughts because he had no other choice. But now that he has the ability, Lin Ming is more willing to rely on himself.

Lin Ming will handle his career outside, and as for the woman at home, Lin Ming doesn't expect her to help his career; he just wants her to be his safe haven.

A haven for the soul—this sounds easy to achieve, yet it's the hardest thing to achieve. Other external things, like material possessions, can be obtained through effort. But to find someone who shares your joy and sorrow is not so easy. And now, Lin Ming knows that Ya Fei is such a person—someone who shares his joy and sorrow.

Ya Fei and Lin Ming grew up together. During Lin Ming's most helpless and darkest moments as a child, it was Ya Fei who pulled Lin Ming out of that abyss. In the years that followed, Ya Fei has always been there for him.

Seeing Ya Fei's happiness at this moment, and knowing that Lin Ming had someone who cared for him so deeply, what more could he ask for?
