Early the next morning
Lu Li was unaware that he had become the focus of attention, and was getting up to practice martial arts as usual.
After practicing for a while, Wan Qing got up as well.
The young woman walked over with light, graceful steps and said softly:
"Young Master, I think I've done something wrong in my practice. Could you take a look and check if I've done it again?"
"No problem!"
Lu Li readily agreed, and the girl then assumed a stance and began to wield the <White Dragon Whip Technique>.
In an instant, all Lu Li could see were two large pomelos arguing back and forth... arguing back and forth...
"Young Master, I've finished practicing. What's wrong with me?"
"Ah?"
As if waking from Lu Li nodded, facing the girl's gentle and beautiful eyes:
"Um... that's a pretty big problem. Practice it again and let me see."
"Oh."
Wan Qing started another fight, and Lu Li used his willpower to look where he needed to look, immediately finding the problem:
"Use your waist, back, and shoulders to generate power, not your arms. Your arms are only responsible for transmitting power; it must be done this way..."
Lu Li forward, put his hands on Wan Qing's shoulders and back, and began to give her pointers.
The girl's body was soft and slender, and holding it in one's hand stirred the heart.
Wan Qing was touched by a man for the first time, her face flushed, but she showed no aversion or reluctance.
Instead, she thought to herself, "[Young Master Lu taught her so well; Xiao Cha only knows how to be mean to me.]"
The two of them held and fiddled with her for a while, and Wan Qing's problem was solved.
Lu Li told her to continue practicing, then went to pour herself a bowl of water and decided to listen to the morning radio.
Now that I'm a news anchor, the program shouldn't be so awful anymore; I should be able to listen to the news properly.
But just as he was about to open it, he suddenly remembered— Wan Qing was able to take care of his mind!
Lu Li quickly said, "Wan Qing, use your mental power to test your cultivation level."
"Okay, I'm going to throw it away~"
Wan Qing frowned slightly, and then an invisible force like a wave crashed over her.
After all, there was a significant difference in cultivation level. Lu Li opened his mind and easily blocked the attack.
But upon feeling the force of the blow, his expression instantly changed!
"300 jin... that's even stronger than when I returned to Blue Star to cultivate!"
"In other words, Wan Qing has already broken through to the [Thoughtless Meditation] stage!"
Lu Li stared at the blind girl before him, utterly shocked!
You need to know that you have a magical treasure protecting you to rapidly improve your cultivation.
What does Wan Qing have? At most, she has an unlimited supply of Calming Incense provided by me! Yet her cultivation speed is only slightly slower than mine!
"This is true genius..."
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, Wan Qing tilted her head and asked, "What kind of genius is Young Master Lu talking about?"
"I'm talking about you~" Lu Li said with a smile:
"Congratulations, you have qualified to break through the Thoughtless Meditation stage. You are a true genius in Spirit Refinement!"
"Really?!" Wan Qing clenched her little fists and hugged them to her chest, overjoyed!
Young Master Lu would never lie to me, which means I will soon be able to achieve [Thoughtless Meditation], and then [Embryonic Breathing], which will restore my sight!
"That's really good news," Lu Li said again.
"I have Sitabo Vana here, which can help you break through. Oh, and I also found a few secret manuals in the Wang Family's ancestral tomb that can help strengthen your control over your mind. I'll teach you those first."
Wan Qing was not an outsider, so Lu Li naturally offered his full assistance without reservation.
Wan Qing clutched the hem of her clothes and asked softly, "Young Master Lu, why are you so kind?"
"Of course," Lu Li said matter-of-factly.
"Wan Qing, you massaged me, made me medicinal meals, and cooked delicious food. Of course I have to repay you. Besides, you're a very kind person and beautiful, so I'm happy to help you."
"Thank you, Young Master Lu." Wan Qing smiled brightly, then asked:
"Young Master, may I touch your face? I want to feel what you look like."
"No problem~" Lu Li took the initiative to step forward, held Wan Qing's wrist and placed it on his face.
"A high forehead, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose... you're very handsome."
Wan Qing touched it very carefully, even touching the ears, before withdrawing her hand and saying wistfully, "I really want to see it for myself."
"That day will come soon!" Lu Li encouraged, "But you must first improve your Martial Arts cultivation; that's also essential."
"Yes, I will try my best!" Wan Qing waved her arms to encourage herself.
However, improving one's physical condition is not something that can be achieved overnight, and Wan Qing is not cut out for martial arts; it would be a waste of a lot of time.
Lu Li asked, "Are there any miraculous elixirs that can quickly improve physical fitness?"
Wan Qing shook her head. "Every medicine has some toxicity. Pills should only be used in emergencies. The medicinal diet we eat every day is the best method."
"I see..." Lu Li was somewhat disappointed when Wan Qing added:
"There are some naturally occurring spiritual creatures and the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, but ordinary people can't even see them. Perhaps only powerful families like the Governor can afford to enjoy them."
The Governor was not an enemy that could be provoked at the moment, so Lu Li had no choice but to abandon the idea.
"By the way, Xiao Cha hasn't come back yet? She really stayed up all night."
I suddenly remembered this, and just as I was thinking about it, Xiao Cha came back.
As soon as she entered, she excitedly exclaimed, gesturing wildly, "Something big has happened! I've witnessed something truly spectacular today!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
At first, Lu Li wasn't particularly surprised.
The extermination of an official's entire clan is certainly a major event.
But when Xiao Cha started to recount what she had seen and heard, Lu Li realized that the girl hadn't exaggerated at all!
" With the Governor's Mansion, the Divine Heart Society, the National Martial Arts Association, and the Jiu Shan Sect all gathered together, the police station ended up doing menial tasks."
"Even the Governor was present, but that True Master Li Yuanzhong only needed to send a flying sword to quell the situation!"
Lu Li felt the name sounded familiar, and with the enhanced memory granted by his Spirit Refinement, he instantly remembered—
This person's insightful views are contained in that book, "On Sitting and Forgetting," from which I have benefited greatly.
Wan Qing recognized the man and said, "Daoist Priest Li Yuanzhong is the head of the [Dragon Gate Sect], and he assassinated the previous Envoy of Izumo."
Lu Li then remembered that when he first arrived here, he saw the new envoy carrying a magical artifact on the street to take office, which must be the reason.
"It seems there are also Righteous Warrior and righteous people on this side of the other world, and they are quite friendly."
That "Xia Weiyin" didn't even know him, yet he took the initiative to shoulder the blame, clearly showing his intention to protect him.
"If it weren't for her, we would likely have been exposed this time. We can't underestimate the wonders of the extraordinary world."
Lu Li sighed, then pondered how to proceed...
At this moment, Xiao Cha said with a serious expression:
"There's an urgent matter right now. That three-eyed man Li Guanqi has extraordinary investigative abilities. He might find some clues about us in past case files!"
Lu Li asked, "Is there a chance to get rid of this person?"
"We'll have to go to the bureau to find out."
Xiao Cha looked troubled. "This man went with the Governor's daughter. If he moves into the Governor's Mansion, we'll be helpless."
