Wood Bud Crystals

When Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo saw him smile, they thought he had really backed down.

But the next second, Xu Qing shook off their hands, leaped off the sofa, flipped 360 degrees, and landed steadily.

"Who's joking with you? If you won't let me eat, I'm going to eat!" Xu Qing held two egg tarts in his hand, which he had grabbed while flipping them over.

After saying that, he ate them one after another in front of Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

They didn't stop him; it was just a joke, a way to tease him a little, and that was enough.

The New Year arrived quickly, and Xu Qing and his group went to the Xu Family Manor to celebrate, where they had a lively and festive time.

Zhao Ruo's grandmother, Auntie Chen, also came to celebrate the New Year together.

However, Xu Qing was unable to stay overnight at the Xu Family Manor this time.

When Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo dragged Xu Qing away, everyone tactfully pretended not to see.

After the New Year, Xu Qing stayed at home, and the three of them spent every day together.

"I really want to have a baby to play with," Xu Qing said inexplicably, leaning back on the sofa.

"If you want to have a baby, go ahead and have one. We don't want to have any yet," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo immediately chimed in. How could they not know what Xu Qing was thinking?

"Do you two even know what it means to have no offspring, one of the three unfilial acts?" Xu Qing rebuked them.

"It's not that we don't want children, it's just that we're not in a hurry. Don't try to pressure us with those words," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said, completely unmoved by his tactics.

Xu Qing blinked. "When will that be?"

"When the time comes, it will come naturally," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo replied.

Xu Qing was completely bewildered. "Where are you guys putting this?"

"Stop with your little schemes. We're the ones who make the decisions at home, Xiao Qing, understand?" Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo rubbed his face.

They are all Warrior. Zhao Ruo is already Intermediate War God, and she will definitely be able to break through to the Planetary Level in the future.

Qin Lin also broke through to the War God Level after consuming Willow Heart. With continued cultivation, Planetary Level is not too difficult.

Therefore, they all plan to focus on cultivation for the time being and not consider anything else.

"I understand, I understand. You all have to cultivate, you're even busier than me," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

"Good to know. It just so happens that you're home, Xiao Qing, and have some time. Could you please give us some guidance on our cultivation?" They both smiled.

Next, Xu Qing guided them in their cultivation at home.

That day, Luo Feng asked Xu Qing to come to his house, saying he had something to give him.

"Could it be a treasure?" Filled with curiosity, Xu Qing arrived at the Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City.

Upon arriving at Luo Feng's home, Xu Qing behaved very maturely, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, Happy New Year!"

"Welcome, welcome, Xiao Xu, come in quickly," Luo Feng's parents remembered Xu Qing and had a deep impression of him.

Seeing Xu Qing chatting so enthusiastically with his parents, and how much they seemed to like him, Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. He'd almost forgotten that Xu Qing was quite the social butterfly.

"Isn't this Brother Luo Hua? Why didn't you say hello when you saw Brother Xu?" Xu Qing waved and called out when he saw Luo Hua, who had already stood up.

Luo Hua looked embarrassed. He had been moving very quietly, so how had he still been discovered?

"Hello, Brother Xu," Luo Hua hesitated for a moment, but still greeted him.

Calling Xu Qing, whose face looked even younger than his own, "Brother Xu" made Luo Hua feel incredibly uncomfortable; even calling her "Sister Xu" wouldn't have been as awkward.

"Okay, okay, Happy New Year! Brother Xu, you came in a hurry this time and didn't bring much, so I'll just give you a lollipop," Xu Qing said enthusiastically, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a lollipop for him.

Luo Hua looked at the lollipop in front of him. The wrapper looked like it had been tampered with; it probably hadn't been opened.

If he hadn't seen the gift boxes Xu Qing brought, he would have truly believed that Xu Qing had come empty-handed.

His eye twitched, and his smile froze. "Thank you, Brother Xu."

"You're welcome, have a taste, it's very sweet," Xu Qing waved his hand.

Luo Hua looked at the lollipop in his hand, feeling embarrassed. He wasn't a child anymore, and he couldn't bring himself to eat a lollipop in front of so many people.

"Pfft... Hahaha, that's hilarious! What kind of thought process does Xu Qing have? Giving away lollipops during the New Year, your brother must feel like ants are crawling all over him right now," Babata burst into laughter.

Luo Feng gave an awkward laugh. Xu Qing was always like this; she always did things that surprised people.

"Xiao Qing, come with me," Luo Feng called out.

"Okay," Xu Qing then followed Luo Feng upstairs.

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stuffed the lollipop into his pocket, and then walked away briskly.

Xu Qing followed Luo Feng upstairs. "What's going on, brother-in-law? Why are you doing this so secretly?"

"Xiao Qing, you can be quite eloquent sometimes, but don't say it again next time," Luo Feng said with a dark expression. What did he mean by sneaking around? This was his home, for goodness' sake.

"Hehe," Xu Qing chuckled.

Then, Luo Feng took out a black combination lock box and opened it in front of Xu Qing.

What came into view were white, translucent crystals that emitted a strong rice aroma, immediately piquing Xu Qing's interest.

"Brother-in-law, what's this? It looks like a snack." Xu Qing asked.

Luo Feng and Babata both twitched their lips; how could it possibly look like a snack?

"This isn't a snack, it's Wood Bud Crystal, a cultivation resource that can increase the cultivation speed of Planetary Level Warrior," Luo Feng patiently explained.

"Oh, so it's cultivation resources. I thought it was snacks you bought for me, brother-in-law, that's why it smells like rice," Xu Qing nodded.

Luo Feng pretended not to hear the word "snacks," and said, "Here are fifty Wood Bud Crystal. Take them and use them for cultivation. Ask me for more when you run out. I have enough Wood Bud Crystal for the two of us to cultivate to the Star Level."

"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, you're such a good person. You didn't forget me even when you got something good. Now I'd like to call you the best brother-in-law in the world, without a doubt," Xu Qing said earnestly.

"Pfft... Hahaha," Babata burst into laughter.

Luo Feng was speechless. Is that how you praise someone? "Xiao Qing, don't praise her like that next time."

"Oh," Xu Qing nodded.

Then, Xu Qing looked at the evil Wood Bud Crystal, picked one up, and asked, "Brother-in-law, is this something to eat directly?"

As he spoke, he took a bite directly at it, and crunch, Wood Bud Crystal didn't budge an inch.

"It's not for eating, it's for refining and absorbing," Luo Feng said helplessly, looking at him. Couldn't he have waited until he finished speaking?

"Okay, I understand," Xu Qing put Wood Bud Crystal back into the box and then closed it.

Afterwards, Luo Feng continued to give him some instructions, the most important of which was to urge him to cultivate diligently and not to be lazy.

"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, why are you acting like a nagging old woman? I'm leaving now," Xu Qing said and slipped away.

Watching Xu Qing's departing figure, Luo Feng shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes, he felt that Xu Qing was more like a younger sister, because his younger brother Luo Hua was very steady, unlike Xu Qing who was so quirky and mischievous.

"Babata, do you think Xiao Qing can cultivate to the Star Level in this year?" Luo Feng asked.

Babata rolled his eyes at him, "Even if you provide him with enough Wood Bud Crystal, don't expect him to reach the Star Level in just one year."

"But, Babata, do you know? Xiao Qing cultivated to the fourth level of the Planetary Level in just one year on her own. Now that she has the Wood Bud Crystal, do you still think it's impossible?"

"Well... it's only a high probability, not a certainty. I don't doubt that he can cultivate to the Planetary Level Nine," Babata thought for a moment and said conservatively.

"Well, Planetary Level Nine shouldn't be a problem, but reaching the Star Level won't be long either. Xiao Qing's cultivation level is high, so breaking through will definitely be easy for him. Once he breaks through, we can consider heading to the universe," Luo Feng said.

"Why are you more anxious than me? In my plan, it will take at least two or three years to go to space. After all, traveling through space requires Spaceship. The Black Ink Star Ship is definitely not suitable. It is too badly damaged and cannot be repaired here. We need to find other Spaceship," Babata said, thinking.

Luo Feng nodded. "There are so many Ancient Civilization Ruins on Earth; there might be Spaceship among them. We can go look for them when the time comes."

"That's true. If all else fails, we can collect some Spaceship wreckage and piece together a Spaceship. It will take some effort, but that's the only way," Babata nodded.

After a pause, it added, "Luo Feng, you also need to hurry up and cultivate, especially those two secret techniques of yours, which are extremely difficult to master."

"I know, but don't forget about Xiao Qing. He's more insightful than me. He'll definitely be ahead of me in cultivating Absolute Space. It would be even more effective to have him guide me then," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Babata looked at him with surprise. "I didn't realize you were so Mind's Eye."

Xu Qing's cultivation level is higher than his, so there's no problem with him being Luo Feng's teacher, and the same goes for cultivating secret techniques.

"Haha, this is what they call 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' Xiao Qing's cultivation level is higher than mine, so he is my teacher," Luo Feng laughed.

"That makes sense. This way you can arrange your training more effectively," Babata agreed.

It's easy to imagine that if Luo Feng and Xu Qing joined forces, many things in cultivation would be much more efficient.

Six months have passed quietly.

Xu Qing has been staying at home for more than half a year. With Luo Feng providing him with Wood Bud Crystal, his cultivation speed has increased several times. He has now reached the Planetary Level Seven and is not far from the Planetary Level Nine.

At this rate, Xu Qing will have no problem reaching the Planetary Level Nine by the end of the year.

Moreover, he was also studying the secret technique Luo Feng had passed on to him, <Absolute Space>. Originally, Xu Qing had planned to start studying other secret techniques, after all, Luo Feng had passed on more than a hundred secret techniques to him.

Because Luo Feng said he was also cultivating this technique, <Absolute Space>, he wanted Xu Qing to learn it first and then teach him.

Xu Qing didn't think much of it and simply started cultivating <Absolute Space>.

While practicing this secret technique, Xu Qing felt that it also greatly helped him comprehend the five Origin Law of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, so Xu Qing became very immersed in it.

By this time, Xu Xin had finished her junior year and was about to start her internship in her senior year.

Xu Xin plans to start her own business directly and establish her own company in one go.

"Sister Xin, I heard you're starting a business? Do you need any investment? I can lend you some money," Xu Qing called immediately after hearing that Xu Xin was going to start a business.

"Okay, Xiao Qing, I won't stand on ceremony with you, but you'd better be prepared to lose money," Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Tch, losing money? Sister Xin, are you really that insecure? The Sister Xin I know wouldn't be this insecure. Tell me, are you kidding me?" Xu Qing glared.

Xu Xin was amused. "Okay, so how much are you going to support me?"

"Let's start with 10 billion. Is that enough? If not, I'll add more. Up to 50 billion, and if that's still not enough..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I am planning to start a business, but I don't have the guts to undertake such a large project right away. You can just invest a billion in me," Xu Xin interrupted him.

Hearing Xu Qing casually mention billions, Xu Xin was frightened. Even though she was the daughter of the Xu Family, she wasn't completely clueless about money.

"Ten billion? Sister Xin, are you looking down on your little brother? Ten billion, no bargaining," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

Soon, Xu Xin received a transfer notification; Xu Qing had directly transferred 10 billion to her.

"Thanks, Xiao Qing," Xu Xin was still very happy to receive the transfer; her younger brother hadn't been spoiled in vain.

"It's nothing, just ask me if you need more, I'll give you plenty of money," Xu Qing said, acting like a nouveau riche.

"Okay," Xu Xin.

"Sister Xin, I'll be waiting for your good news. Keep it up, future Business Queen, Ms. Xu Xin," Xu Qing encouraged.

Xu Xin smiled broadly, "Absolutely."

Another six months have passed, and the year 2059 is about to end.

Inside the Limit General Hall, on the 24th floor, in the large training hall, Xu Qing stood there with his eyes closed, emanating a mysterious aura.

The next second, Xu Qing took a step forward, and at the same time, double images appeared on his body, as if two versions of himself had overlapped.

Gradually, the double image began to separate from his body.

When it separated, the double image became solid, just like a real one, exactly like Xu Qing.

Both Xu Qing were walking forward in the same direction, as if there was an invisible mirror between them, which was quite incredible.

When Xu Qing stopped, the double image disappeared, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

"So this is space. What? I thought it would be much more difficult," Xu Qing opened his eyes, a faint silver light flashing in them.

Luo Feng also told him that this secret technique of "Absolute Space" is extremely difficult, and even Xu Qing might need several years to master it.

As a result, Xu Qing mastered the basics in just one year.

Moreover, the introduction to Absolute Space signifies that Xu Qing has already grasped the Origin Law of Space.

"Wow, I can see one more color now that Mind's Eye," Xu Qing said, having activated his Mind's Eye. In addition to the eight colors of natural forces he could see before, he could now see a silver color.

Moreover, this silver color almost permeates the Heaven and Earth, even enveloping other colors like a celestial curtain.

This feeling is like when I was at sea before, seeing the ocean as a blue scroll, enveloping other colors.

But in comparison, this silver color is far more magnificent, boundless, and even covers the entire world.

Even the colors represented by the five natural elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth seem to blend with this silver color.
