After leaving Chen Liang's home, Su Changqing and Hu Liena hired a carriage and officially set off from the Heaven Dou Empire towards Martial Soul City.

***

Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion in Heaven Dou Imperial City.

"Miss, he's going to Martial Soul City with the Saintess."

"The Saintess? You mean Hu Liena?"

"Yes."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was reporting Su Changqing's whereabouts to Xue Qinghe at this moment.

He had been secretly following Su Changqing before, but after forcing Tang Hao away, he was recalled by the Elder Hall. He had only just returned after finishing his tasks.

This meant he only saw Su Changqing leave Heaven Dou City with Hu Liena and was unaware of what happened between them in Sunset Forest.

Xue Qinghe frowned, his expression darkening slightly.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, return to the Elder Hall. Keep an eye on Su Changqing for me there. If necessary, you can personally try to recruit him. I absolutely cannot let Su Changqing fall into that woman's hands!"

"Understood, Miss. I will watch Su Changqing."

After their conversation, Golden Crocodile Douluo left Xue Qinghe's room.

A few days later, the news of the death of Chen Liang, a renowned wealthy merchant in the Heaven Dou Empire, spread like wildfire throughout the entire empire. Various factions began investigating the matter, all curious about who dared to kill Chen Liang!

Even Emperor Xue Ye felt a sense of regret upon hearing about Chen Liang's death.

He was indeed an exceptional business genius.

However, in this world of the strong preying on the weak, no one could guarantee they would live to see the next day. Therefore, apart from the small families who couldn't survive without Chen Liang, no other faction bothered to investigate the cause of his death.

Heaven Dou Empire was very far from Martial Soul City. Traveling by carriage, even a fast one, would take more than ten days to arrive.

It was now the eighth day, and Su Changqing and Hu Liena had completed half of their journey.

"Sister Nana, my Soul Power seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough. I'm at level thirty-four," Su Changqing said.

He had just emerged from a state of meditation.

"You're breaking through already?"

Hu Liena's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

When she first met him, he had just absorbed his third Soul Ring. Because it was an over-limit absorption, he had directly reached level thirty-three upon entering the Soul Elder rank.

And now, only a few days had passed, and he was already level thirty-four!

"Your cultivation speed is so fast, can you handle it? Is your foundation not stable?"

Hu Liena's tone carried a hint of worry.

Su Changqing smiled calmly, "Don't worry, Sister Nana, it won't be. For me, this is a perfectly normal rate of improvement. When we get to Martial Soul City, I'll help you increase your Soul Power by at least three levels!"

Hearing Su Changqing's words, Hu Liena didn't take him seriously, assuming he was joking.

"How will you help me break through? Will you give me your Soul Power?"

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Su Changqing's cheek.

Ever since the two of them came out of Sunset Forest, Hu Liena had developed this peculiar habit.

Su Changqing's cheeks felt so good to touch!

If only I could kiss him.

Thinking this, Hu Liena's face couldn't help but flush slightly.

What am I thinking? Brother Changqing is still just a child!

"Sister Nana, stop fooling around. I want to strike while the iron is hot."

Su Changqing pushed Hu Liena's hands away.

Then, he took out the seven-thousand-year Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew from his storage bag.

"Please guard me. I'm going to absorb this."

"Okay, go ahead and absorb it."

With that, Su Changqing began to absorb the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Hu Liena watched him from the side, then looked at the Immortal Herb, her pretty face full of curiosity.

What magical effects would this Immortal Herb have?

A surge of spiritual power was released, spreading directly outside the carriage. Su Changqing could clearly feel his mind being cleansed.

Is this what it feels like to have my spiritual power enhanced?

Su Changqing, in his meditative state, felt it with great detail.

Xiao Mi's core power mostly originated from the light patch on its forehead, meaning an increase in spiritual power would also enhance his comprehension of the Light Element!

Xiao Mi's ultimate form was even achieved by condensing a light wheel through powerful spiritual power and understanding of the Light Element!

He needed spiritual power more than ordinary Soul Masters!

And before Tang San awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, the only way he could possibly harm him was with his Purple Demon Eye!

As long as he could compensate for his shortcomings in spiritual power, Tang San would be unable to harm him by any means before awakening the Blue Silver Emperor.

Su Changqing's body began to grow hot, sweat dripping from his forehead; he was almost done absorbing it.

After about five minutes, a powerful Soul Power fluctuation erupted, the shockwave instantly stopping the carriage!

"Buzz—"

Golden light burst forth, so bright that Hu Liena couldn't bear to look directly at it.

After another dozen seconds, the light gradually dissipated, and Su Changqing opened his eyes.

"So fast? You finished absorbing it in less than twenty minutes?"

Hu Liena was a little surprised, but in just one second, the surprised expression on her face became even more exaggerated!

Because Su Changqing's cultivation had now reached level thirty-seven!

"Not bad."

Su Changqing felt his current body and a smile appeared on his face.

His current spiritual power was likely even stronger than the Purple Demon Eye in its third stage!

"Don't be surprised. This is only a three-level increase. This Immortal Herb can only boost spiritual power. I took advantage of the power from my seven-thousand-year cultivation to break through."

As soon as he said this, Hu Liena's jaw almost dropped in astonishment!

She had never heard of anything in the world that could increase a Soul Master's level so much after consumption!

Even her teacher probably didn't know!

It seemed he had many secrets!

"You're about to reach Soul Ancestor soon, not long after reaching level thirty. You'll surpass me soon."

Hearing this, Su Changqing pretended to be profound and stroked his chin.

He winked and said, "Then Sister Nana, you'd better train hard, or else when I surpass you, it'll be my turn to pinch your cheeks!"

Hu Liena was stunned at first, then her delicate eyebrows furrowed. She playfully extended her jade-like fingers and poked Su Changqing all over.

"You cheeky brat, you wish! Wanting to pinch your sister's cheeks, how shameless!"

The poking made Su Changqing ticklish, and he burst into laughter.

After a few pokes, a playful expression appeared on Hu Liena's charming face. She raised her hands and pinched Su Changqing's cheeks again.

"Sister Nana, stop messing around... um... please..."

Su Changqing grabbed her wrists and took her hands away from his face.

"Seriously, Sister Nana, when we get to Martial Soul City, I guarantee I can help your Soul Power surge!"

Hu Liena withdrew her hands. "Okay, okay, I believe you!"

She still treated Su Changqing's words as a joke, but compared to her previous doubt, this time, her eyes flickered with a hint of indulgence that she herself didn't notice.

The journey became lighthearted amidst their playful banter, the scenery outside the window blurring past.
