Chapter 245: Out of Seclusion

Yang Shi shook his head and shrugged.

“I don’t know.” He said and quickly continued.

“I felt I should call him that way from the moment I met him.”

Hearing this, Feng Xue couldn’t help but frown.

However, she didn’t pursue the matter and just sighed.

After that, the two settled in the green-feathered luan’s cave.

Inside the Chaos Flame Space, Shen Xu leaned on Zhen Yuan’s chest and sighed in contentment.

“This medicinal hot spring is so good and the atmosphere is so relaxing.” He said.

Although the spring’s level hadn’t improved since they got it in the Demon Plants’ Forest, Shen Xu liked it very much.

After leaving seclusion, he and Zhen Yuan double cultivated for a while and then entered the hot spring to relax.

“Our mountain has a primordial qi tree, a heart-calming tree, and a high-grade spirit stones vein. It would be strange if the atmosphere wasn’t good.”

Shen Xu nodded when he heard that.

A moment later, he turned to Zhen Yuan with a curious expression.

“Ayuan, what’s your current cultivation?” He asked.

“Equivalent to the early stage of the void refining realm.” Zhen Yuan answered in a nonchalant voice.

However, Shen Xu couldn’t be calm.

After all, they had only been in seclusion for seven hundred and fifty years, equivalent to twenty-five real years.

Generally, a cultivator required at least one thousand years to advance from the peak stage of the spirit transformation realm to the early stage of the void refining realm.

But Zhen Yuan never conformed to common sense.

In less than one thousand years, the man advanced from the late stage of the spirit transformation realm to the early stage of the void refining realm.

Most importantly, only half of the seven hundred and fifty years was used for qi cultivation while the rest was spent on soul cultivation, the void body technique, the heavenly law of space, and his three masteries.

“You are too blessed.” Shen Xu finally said.

“You are also not bad.” Zhen Yuan praised and the double immediately cheered up.

“My cultivation has advanced to the late stage of the spirit transformation realm.” He proudly declared and quickly continued.

“I also refined many drops of soul nourishing dew and my soul power has advanced to mid level seven.”

After saying that, Shen Xu frowned.

He originally thought his soul power would advance to peak level seven after refining so many drops of soul nourishing dew.

Unfortunately, reality did not meet expectations and his soul power only advanced one small level.

“Don’t be disappointed.” Zhen Yuan consoled when he saw the disappointed look on his lover’s face.

“What about you? Did your soul power advance?” The double asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

“The soul nourishing tree is still young and its dew is not very potent. That said, although my soul power did not advance, it’s purer and more condensed after I refined the soul nourishing dew drops.”

“Mine too.” Shen Xu excitedly raised his hand.

When he first started to refine the dew drops, his soul power did not increase.

Instead, the dew cleansed and condensed the soul power.

Only after the soul power could not be cleansed and condensed any further did the power of the dew begin to increase the soul power.

Even then, the increase was limited to one small realm.

Thinking about that, Shen Xu couldn’t help but complain and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding before speaking.

“Your body cultivation is too low which is limiting your soul cultivation.” He said.

“It’s possible.” Shen Xu nodded.

In the Formation City, the two got a drop of lightning liquid from a gambling stone.

However, Shen Xu insisted on leaving it to Zhen Yuan because it was a rare resource that could assist the man’s body cultivation.

As a result, Zhen Yuan’s body cultivation advanced to the peak of level seven while Shen Xu’s was stuck at the peak of level six.

“Xiaoxu, there is a gravity valley, a lightning lake, and other body refining blessed places in the Yunshan secret realm. Let’s find one when we leave the space.”

“Good.” Shen Xu nodded.

After advancing two small realms, his qi cultivation was a little unstable and he couldn’t continue advancing.

If possible, he wanted to find a blessed place to stabilise his cultivation and refine his body.

“Ayuan, what’s your current situation?”

“Qi cultivation is at the early stage of the void refining realm, the space of my void body technique has increased from ten metres to fifteen metres and my heavenly law of space domain has also improved from ten metres to fifteen. My soul power, formations, talismans, inscriptions, and body cultivation are still at the peak of level seven. However, they have all improved in one way or another.”

“Not bad.” Shen Xu praised and began explaining his situation.

“My qi cultivation is at the late stage of the spirit transformation realm, body cultivation is at the peak stage of level six, and soul power is at the mid-stage of level seven. Alchemy, weapon refining, and spiritual chef masteries have improved from the early to mid-stage of level seven. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to practice my hammer technique.”

“You can practice while refining your body.” Zhen Yuan suggested and Shen Xu nodded before speaking.

“I wonder how Yang Shi is doing? Ayuan, it’s about time to leave the space.”

“Mmh.” Zhen Yuan agreed but his actions did not match his words.

While Shen Xu was still thinking about leaving, Zhen Yuan pounced on him and the two sank into the hot spring.

A long time later, Zhen Yuan carried the double out of the spring and walked into the bamboo hut.

Soon after, a harmonious music was heard and this melody did not stop until six months later.

After resting for another day, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu left the space and appeared in a big cave.

“Master, lord Zhen.” Yang Shi excitedly greeted.

“It’s been a long time. Are you doing okay?” Shen Xu asked, looking at Yang Shi with inquisitive eyes.

At the same time, he received a voice transmission from Zhen Yuan.
