A representative on Blue Star! The generous Ya Fei

"A Dou Zhe really is amazing. I give up."

On the large bed, Meng Ziwei begged for mercy again and again.

Chu Zhou was no longer the man he had been, and he did not lose himself in pleasure and keep going.

Holding Meng Ziwei with one arm, his hand resting on her smooth back, he asked softly, "Where are you now?"

Meng Ziwei was clever. Knowing he meant her location on the Dou Qi Continent, she immediately answered, "At the Flower Sect, in the western Central Plains, where the northern and central regions meet."

"The Flower Sect?" Surprise flashed in Chu Zhou's eyes.

Meng Ziwei had actually stumbled into such good fortune.

The Central Plains had a saying: One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions.

The Two Sects referred to the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Underworld Sect, both of which had Half-Saint experts overseeing them.

Within the Flower Sect, there was even an opportunity that could allow someone to break through to Dou Zun and become the Flower Sect Leader.

But all of that was still far beyond Meng Ziwei's reach.

"What is it?" Meng Ziwei asked.

"Nothing." Of course, Chu Zhou would not reveal what he knew. With a hint of regret, he said, "I was just thinking that I can't help you. I'm on the Northwest Continent, and by chance, I obtained a Grade Two Pill that can speed up cultivation during the Dou Qi stages."

"If you were with me, I could supply you with those pills."

"No wonder your strength has been rising so quickly." Understanding dawned on Meng Ziwei. With a touch of regret, she said, "There's nothing we can do about that. For now, nothing from the Dou Qi Continent can be brought back to Blue Star, and things from Blue Star can't be taken over there either."

"Pills are out, but I can teach you cultivation methods and Dou Techniques personally." Chu Zhou looked down at her with a faint smile. "What attributes does your Dou Qi have?"

"I randomly received the water and wood dual attributes, which suit my soul best," Meng Ziwei answered.

"Then I'll find some time to learn a Wood Attribute Dou Technique and teach it to you," Chu Zhou immediately agreed.

"You won't charge me tuition, will you?" Meng Ziwei rested her leg on Chu Zhou's abs.

Her meaning was clear: this was the tuition she had paid.

"Of course I'll charge tuition." Chu Zhou lifted Meng Ziwei's chin. "As for letting you experience a Dou Zhe's strength, that costs extra."

Meng Ziwei: ?

I let you sleep with me, and now I have to pay you too?

"Get as much Spirit Beast Meat as you can. From now on, I'll try to come back to Blue Star for meals." Chu Zhou's gaze grew firm. "Don't worry. I'll earn money. I won't live off you forever. But remember, you absolutely must not tell anyone about me."

"I just want to keep a low profile and grow stronger. If you spread word about me, plenty of people will come bothering me, and all sorts of trouble will follow. Then it'll be hard for you to see me."

"I understand." Meng Ziwei might not have been one of the most privileged heirs, but she still belonged to that circle and understood plenty of things.

Chu Zhou was an opportunity that had come her way. She was not foolish enough to share him with others.

After chatting with Meng Ziwei a little longer, Chu Zhou entered the Dou Qi Continent with a thought.

“Blue Star and its Spiritual Energy Revival really have given me a surprise. Looks like I can't abandon it completely. I'll have to keep a firm hold on things there and develop them.”

Chu Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed, propping his chin in his hand as he considered the matter carefully.

He had originally transmigrated to Blue Star. After learning that he could live normally on the Dou Qi Continent as well, he had decided not to return often, treating Blue Star as a private retreat where he could occasionally enjoy good food and relax.

But discovering that First-Rank Spirit Beast Meat could directly improve his cultivation had changed his attitude.

Spirit beasts would also grow, advancing to the second rank, the third rank...

If First-Rank Spirit Beast Meat could directly increase his early-stage Dou Qi and even add a little to his Dou Zhe-level Dou Qi, then stronger spirit beasts would surely bring even greater improvements to his cultivation.

The powerful spirit beasts on Blue Star were essentially an alternative kind of strength-boosting pill. He certainly could not give them up.

Still, the focus of his development would definitely remain on the Dou Qi Continent. He had no time to make public appearances on Blue Star.

Having Meng Ziwei, a woman he had formed an emotional bond with, act as his representative while helping her along was a good choice.

As for what he would do if she betrayed him...

He could simply stay on the Dou Qi Continent and keep growing stronger.

Once he broke through to Dou Wang, he could return and declare, "I don't eat beef."

If Dou Wang was not enough, then Dou Emperor. If Dou Emperor was not enough, then Dou Zong.

In short, he would certainly be able to survive and settle the score.

“The most pressing thing right now is to formally begin learning Alchemy.”

Having sorted out his thoughts, Chu Zhou got off the bed, left the courtyard, and headed for the auction house.

He first stopped by the medicinal storeroom. Only after discovering that Gu Ni was absent did he decide to seek out Ya Fei.

“Little brother Chu Zhou, you're here quite early today.”

Ya Fei was sipping a cup of tea. Seeing the maid escort Chu Zhou inside, she took out a Pocket Watch and checked it.

“Sister Ya Fei, I've broken through to Dou Zhe.” Chu Zhou got straight to the point.

Cough, cough, cough!

Ya Fei choked on her tea.

Only after patting her chest for a while did she recover. In disbelief, she asked, "You've broken through to Dou Zhe?"

She had always known that Chu Zhou condensed Dou Qi at an astonishing speed. Even with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid helping him, his speed was almost absurd. He was a top-tier genius whose potential had been held back.

But advancing from ninth stage Dou Qi to Dou Zhe was a major hurdle. Many people who reached that level failed on their first attempt, causing their cultivation to fall back to eighth stage Dou Qi.

That was why Qi Gathering Powder, which guaranteed that a cultivator at ninth stage Dou Qi would break through to Dou Zhe, was a Grade Four Pill with such a high value.

Recently, she had been planning to use her authority to ask the clan leader to arrange for a dose of Qi Gathering Powder for Chu Zhou.

Yet now, without a word to anyone, Chu Zhou had succeeded on his first attempt through his own efforts.

"You're not joking with me, are you?" Ya Fei asked seriously, seeking confirmation.

“No. I'm telling the truth.” Chu Zhou raised his hand, gathering Dou Qi into it, then pushed it to the side.

Fire-Pushing Palm.

A tangible gust of force burst forth, traveling some distance before knocking the water on the table onto the floor.

For a High Yellow-Tier Dou Technique to display such power, it definitely could not have been executed with early-stage Dou Qi.

"Good." A smile appeared on Ya Fei's alluring face.

She truly had found a treasure.

Chu Zhou's cultivation talent was nothing short of terrifying.

"Sister Ya Fei, can I start learning alchemy now?" Chu Zhou stated what he wanted.

"There's no hurry." Ya Fei waved her hand. "Your most important task right now is to find a cultivation technique and practice it, converting the attributeless Dou Qi in your body into Dou Qi matching your own Soul Attribute. I'll authorize you to choose any suitable Black-Tier Cultivation Technique from the Treasure Vault."

"As you say, Sister Ya Fei." Chu Zhou did not refuse.

He already had the Azure Flame Soul-Refining Art. Ya Fei could not possibly offer anything better.

But he could select a cultivation technique or Dou Technique suitable for Meng Ziwei and practice it.

"Let's go!"

In high spirits, Ya Fei led the way, her hips swaying as she headed toward the Treasure Vault that housed the Dou Technique and cultivation technique scrolls.

"Choose whichever cultivation methods and combat skills you like."

After entering the Treasure Vault, Ya Fei waved her hand with lavish generosity.

Chu Zhou immediately began picking up the scrolls one after another to inspect them.

Of course, he could only see their names and basic descriptions.

"Oh? This Dou Technique really was tailor-made for me."
