Qing Lin's Strength Increased, Reward Feedback!

Chapter 49

Qing Lin rose to her feet and felt the abundant Dou Qi within her.

Sixth-stage Dou Qi.

Overnight, she had advanced another stage.

She turned to look at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, thank you."

Xiao Chen waved a hand.

Qing Lin glanced down at herself and only then realized that her collar was still open.

Under the moonlight, the skin on her shoulders was white as snow.

Her face instantly reddened, and she hurriedly turned away.

In a fluster, she quickly put her clothes back on.

She fastened her collar and tightened her belt.

Qing Lin took a deep breath and suppressed the shyness in her heart.

She turned back around, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xiao Chen.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, I..."

"Let's go back," Xiao Chen said flatly.

Qing Lin nodded.

The two left the back mountain and headed toward the Xiao Clan.

Qing Lin walked beside Xiao Chen, stealing glances at him from time to time.

Young Master Xiao Chen's profile looked especially handsome under the moonlight.

She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, her face growing even redder.

The system's voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind.

[Detected that the host helped Qing Lin increase her strength.]

[Qing Lin's current level: Sixth-stage Dou Qi.]

[The host has received a random feedback reward.]

[Calculating feedback reward.]

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained: High Xuan-Rank Dou Technique, Coiling Snake Hand.]

Seeing this reward, the corners of Xiao Chen's lips lifted slightly.

A High Xuan-Rank Dou Technique.

Coiling Snake Hand.

This Dou Technique was perfectly suited for Qing Lin to cultivate.

With her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and the supple movements of Coiling Snake Hand, her strength could improve considerably.

He withdrew his thoughts and took out the Coiling Snake Hand cultivation method from his Storage Ring.

"This is for you."

Xiao Chen handed the Dou Technique to Qing Lin.

Qing Lin accepted it and lowered her head for a look.

Three words were written on the cover: Coiling Snake Hand.

She opened the Dou Technique and read through several pages.

High Xuan-Rank.

Qing Lin raised her head to look at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of shock.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, this is a High Xuan-Rank Dou Technique?"

Xiao Chen nodded.

Qing Lin's hands were trembling.

A High Xuan-Rank Dou Technique was considered top-tier throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Yet Young Master Xiao Chen had casually given it to her.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, this is far too precious. I can't..."

"If I tell you to keep it, then keep it," Xiao Chen interrupted.

Qing Lin opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.

But when she saw Xiao Chen's gaze, she swallowed the words that had reached her lips.

She clutched Coiling Snake Hand tightly, her eyes slightly red.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, thank you."

Xiao Chen waved a hand.

"Practice."

Qing Lin nodded.

She sat cross-legged, opened Coiling Snake Hand, and began cultivating.

The cultivation method for Coiling Snake Hand was not complicated, but it required supple footwork and nimble fingers.

Following the method, Qing Lin circulated her Dou Qi through her meridians.

Her hands slowly rose, her ten fingers intertwining and shifting.

Under the moonlight, her fingers moved as nimbly as little snakes.

Xiao Chen stood to the side and watched her practice.

Qing Lin's technique was somewhat awkward, and several movements were not executed properly.

"Relax your fingers more," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin nodded and adjusted the force in her fingers.

Her fingers became softer, and their entwining movements gained a touch more liveliness.

"Yes, just like that."

Hearing Xiao Chen's praise, Qing Lin revealed a faint smile.

She continued practicing, again and again.

Her fingers kept intertwining beneath the moonlight, becoming increasingly proficient.

From her initial awkwardness to smooth, flowing motions later on.

Her progress was visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Chen watched her and nodded inwardly.

Qing Lin's cultivation talent was indeed quite good.

"That's enough for today," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin stopped moving and stood up.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, how did I do?"

"You've already grasped the basics of Coiling Snake Hand," Xiao Chen said.

Hearing that, Qing Lin smiled.

Young Master Xiao Chen had praised her again.

Her heart was filled with sweetness.

"Go back and get some proper rest."

Qing Lin nodded.

The two returned to their respective residences.

The next day.

Xiao Chen walked out of his room.

Morning light shone across the courtyard.

He passed through the corridor and headed toward the clan's back mountain.

The back mountain was very quiet in the early morning.

Birdsong came from deep within the forest.

When Xiao Chen reached the area near that large boulder, he saw that Xiao Yan was already there.

He sat cross-legged atop the boulder with his eyes closed.

The Dou Qi within him circulated slowly as he cultivated.

Yao Lao floated beside him, offering pointers from time to time.

There was a trace of satisfaction in Yao Lao's voice.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Yao Lao was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Your third brother is here."

With a flash, he slipped into the Storage Ring on Xiao Yan's finger.

Xiao Yan turned his head and saw Xiao Chen walking up from the foot of the mountain.

"Third Brother." Xiao Yan hurriedly rose to his feet.

Xiao Chen walked over and looked him over from head to toe.

Xiao Yan's aura was somewhat stronger than before.

"How has your cultivation been going?"

"Not bad," Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Chen looked at him and spoke flatly.

"How is the Flame Dragon Palm I gave you last time coming along?"

A flash of confidence appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Third Brother, I've already mastered it."

"Show me," Xiao Chen said.

Xiao Yan froze for a moment.

"Third Brother, you mean..."

"Attack me," Xiao Chen said. "Let me see the results of your training."

Xiao Yan hesitated.

Attack Third Brother?

Third Brother was a Dou Emperor-level expert.

With his little bit of strength, he was simply nothing before Third Brother.

"Don't worry about hurting me," Xiao Chen said flatly, seeing his hesitation.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and nodded.

"Third Brother, then please forgive my offense."

He activated the Dou Qi in his body and circulated it according to the Flame Dragon Palm method.

Fire-attributed Dou Qi flowed through his meridians, carrying a scorching aura.

Xiao Yan raised his right hand and struck toward Xiao Chen with his palm.

A flaming palm print flew from his palm and blasted toward Xiao Chen.

The palm print was much larger than before, and its flames were hotter as well.

As it passed, even the air was scorched into distortion.

Xiao Chen stood where he was without dodging.

He raised his right hand and casually waved it.

The flaming palm print was directly dispersed, turning into specks of firelight that faded into the air.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue inwardly.

His full-power strike could not stir up even the slightest ripple before Third Brother.

"Not bad," Xiao Chen said flatly.

Xiao Yan froze for a moment.

"The palm print is thirty percent larger than before, and the flames are much hotter as well," Xiao Chen said. "Looks like you haven't been slacking off lately."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Third Brother had praised him.

"Continue," Xiao Chen said.

Xiao Yan nodded.

He activated his Dou Qi again and launched palm strike after palm strike at Xiao Chen.

Flaming palm prints continuously flew from his palm and blasted toward Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen remained where he was, casually dispersing each palm print one by one.

Xiao Yan put all his strength into every strike, yet Third Brother did not move his feet even once.

The strength of a Dou Emperor was truly terrifying.

As Xiao Chen dispersed the palm prints, he offered guidance.

"Strike faster."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan increased the speed of his palm strikes.

"You're gathering your Dou Qi in the wrong place. Move it three inches higher."

Xiao Yan adjusted where he gathered his Dou Qi, and the palm prints indeed became somewhat more powerful.

"Yes, just like that."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed and continued striking according to Xiao Chen's guidance.

His technique grew more and more skillful, and the power of his palm seals increased as well.

At first, they could only leave a wave of heat in the air. Later, with a single palm strike, even the air itself was burned into distortion.

His progress was visible to the naked eye.

Inside the Storage Ring, Yao Lao watched Xiao Yan train and nodded in satisfaction.

"I never expected your third brother's guidance to be even more precise than your master's."

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind.

[Detected that the bound target, Xiao Yan, has mastered the High Xuan-Rank Dou Technique, Flame Dragon Palm.]

[Mission complete. Host has received one chance for a random reward.]

[Claim immediately?]
