Chapter 67
Reencounter with Yan Feilong
The morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, transforming into beams of golden light that filled the entire room.
Bai Muxi rubbed her sleepy eyes, awakened by the magnificent sea of clouds outside the window.
She was slightly taken aback, and then realized that she was no longer in the hotel, but had moved into the student dormitory on the 298th floor of Galaxy Martial Arts University.
A new day begins at a new starting point.
She tiptoed out of the bedroom and immediately saw Lin Qiye sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the center of the living room.
His eyes were slightly closed, his expression focused, and his hands formed a peculiar hand seal in front of him. It seemed that an invisible spiritual energy was slowly gathering around him.
Is this the new cultivation method he chose, "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong"?
Bai Muxi didn't disturb him, but simply stood quietly to the side, her gentle gaze falling on him.
Soon, Lin Qiye slowly finished his practice, completing a full cycle of cultivation.
He opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, which left a faint white trail in the air before dissipating.
His eyes were clear and bright, and he was full of energy.
"How is it?" Bai Muxi immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.
Lin Qiye saw her and smiled brightly, standing up: "You've already mastered the basics. Teacher Lin Yuechan was right, this 'Primordial Qi Gong' is very easy to learn."
He stretched his limbs, feeling the new and pure energy within his body, and shook his head.
"This B-level technique feels no different from calisthenics... Maybe this is what Lin Yuechan meant by 'ordinary'..."
"However, after practicing this technique, I feel very energetic. I didn't need to sleep all night; I feel like I had a very good night's sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed happily, "Really? Is it because the spiritual energy here is abundant?"
"Maybe so." Lin Qiye nodded, pulling her hand to sit on the sofa. "But the effect of the technique itself definitely accounts for the majority. The advantage of this technique over radio calisthenics, for the time being, is that it is effortless and can be practiced 24 hours a day without sleep. I haven't found any other differences yet."
Bai Muxi laughed and said, "Just the fact that you can cultivate continuously for 24 hours without rest is already amazing, okay?"
Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Well, I'll teach you when I've mastered the Eight Treasures Technique to perfection in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi immediately shook her head and said seriously, "Don't waste your time on me! You're at a crucial stage right now; you need to focus your time on yourself. Anyway, I'll practice slowly and reach the martial arts realm soon."
Seeing how considerate she was of him, Lin Qiye felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's only natural for a husband to teach his wife."
Bai Muxi didn't expect Lin Qiye to still care about her so much at this time.
An indescribable feeling of gratitude and warmth instantly washed over her, causing her eyes to redden slightly.
The next second, she suddenly threw herself into Lin Qiye's arms, hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and said in a choked voice, "Husband..."
Lin Qiye gently stroked her back and said softly, "We are husband and wife, what's mine is yours. Your cultivation is of course my top priority."
Bai Muxi lifted her head from his embrace, her tear-filled eyes brimming with deep love and emotion.
She tiptoed and leaned in to kiss his lips.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Bai Muxi's cheeks were already as red as ripe apples, and even her earlobes were tinged with pink.
She dared not look into Lin Qiye's smiling eyes again, let out a shy whisper, and turned to slip into the bathroom.
……
After Bai Muxi finished washing up, Lin Qiye and Bai Zhenfeng tidied up briefly and then dialed Bai Zhenfeng's terminal.
"Father-in-law, we're downstairs. Let's have breakfast together."
Soon, the group met up on the commercial street downstairs from the dormitory and randomly chose a bright and clean fast food restaurant.
As soon as he sat down, Bai Zhenfeng couldn't wait to inquire about last night's tutoring session: "Qi Ye, how did it go? Has that Teacher Lin... helped you plan your future?"
All eyes were on Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye took a sip of soy milk, put down the cup, and had already prepared his explanation. He didn't completely hide the truth, but cleverly changed his words.
"Yes, Teacher Lin is very professional and gave me a lot of advice," he said calmly. "Regarding the Eight Treasures Technique, the teacher said that its advanced path is a body-strengthening style, which is very powerful, but also very expensive, so she doesn't recommend it. However, I think my comprehension might be able to make up for some of the resource gap, so I plan to try it out myself first."
Bai Zhenfeng and Bai Zhenyun exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.
They knew that body tempering techniques were very expensive, and that it was not something that people of their social class could afford to cultivate.
However, since Lin Qiye said to give it a try, they naturally chose to believe him.
Lin Qiye continued, "In addition, based on my personal needs, I hope to lay the most solid and broad foundation in the early stages, so my teacher helped me find a cultivation method called 'Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong' as my main practice. Besides that, she also gave me three other A-level cultivation paths as alternatives."
Hearing this, everyone in the Bai family breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that spending those 10,000 credits was well worth it; not only did I gain a main cultivation technique, but I also have an alternative plan.
Bai Mujie perked up immediately and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of that 'Primordial Qi Gong'? It sounds really powerful."
Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, "The biggest feature of this technique is... that it has no difficulty in getting started."
"What? There's no learning curve?" Bai Mujie's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly slapped his thigh. "This is great! This is perfect for me! When I get into university, I'll go to our school's cultivation manual library and see if it's copyrighted, then I'll practice this too!"
He had barely finished speaking when Bai Zhenyun gave him a light tap on the back of the head.
"Nonsense!" Bai Zhenyun glared at him and scolded him impatiently, "That was Teacher Lin's recommendation based on Qi Ye's special circumstances and talent. Can you apply it to him? What was his ranking, and what is yours?"
Bai Mujie covered his head, muttering with a wronged expression.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye smiled and shook his head, trying to smooth things over, saying, "Uncle, actually, it wasn't really a recommendation. This technique is quite weak in functionality and its power is mediocre. It was chosen mainly because it's easy to learn, which meets my need to quickly build a foundation. As for its special merits..."
He paused, then said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Maybe it's because after cultivating, one can go 24 hours without sleeping and use cultivation to replace rest."
"Huh?" Bai Mujie's excitement and longing froze instantly.
His eyes widened as he stared at Lin Qiye in disbelief: "Twenty-four hours without sleep? Cultivating all day long? What's the point of life then?!"
Seeing his terrified expression, the whole family couldn't help but laugh.
……
Half an hour later, the group finished breakfast and left the restaurant.
The warm morning light felt wonderful on my skin.
However, this pleasant feeling was soon shattered.
A group of people walked towards them, each with an extraordinary aura, exuding the confidence and arrogance unique to the second generation of martial arts elites.
Lin Qiye's gaze sharpened slightly, and he immediately recognized them.
The group of young men and women leading the group were none other than the members of the gifted class they had encountered that day during the provincial private college entrance examination!
At the center of the crowd, like stars surrounding the moon, stood the stern-faced Lei Qianjun and the aloof Su Qingying.
Beside them, Yan Feilong, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head by Lin Qiye, now had a gloomy expression.
"Qianjun, Qingying, you're all right now."
"Yes, one entered the Galaxy Martial Arts Academy, and the other entered the Dragon Ascension Martial Arts Academy. Both are the top academies in the empire."
"The rest of us will have to go to Taurus Martial Arts University, which isn't bad, right, Yan Feilong?"
Just then, Yan Feilong's gaze fell on Lin Qiye, who had just walked out of the restaurant.
In that instant, his face darkened even more.
