Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law
Chapter 495 - 493: Earth Realm Fourth Layer! Beginning the Array for a Secluded Residence, Jiang Lingyue Insists on Showing Off Her Alchemy?
On the empty ground outside.
Jiang Lingyue, who was originally a bit nervous, not knowing what to say to her sister, saw the surrounding trees moving without wind.
In the night sky, a whirlwind vortex seemed to form, and she suddenly widened her eyes.
"What’s... causing this?"
Especially seeing that the commotion seemed to appear right above brother-in-law Lu Ye’s training room, she was even more startled.
"Brother-in-law won’t be in trouble, will he?!"
Jiang Qingge was much calmer, since she had spent quite a bit of time with Lu Ye in this mountain range before.
Although Lu Ye rarely cultivated in the same place as her before.
But every time he started cultivating, the mountains always exhibited some strange phenomena.
Compared to before, the current scene was already much more restrained.
"No worries, your brother-in-law is like this once he starts cultivating, you don’t need to worry about him." Jiang Qingge withdrew her gaze, smiling as she spoke.
"As long as it’s okay, brother-in-law’s cultivation scene, how could it still be so frightening?" Jiang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Back when she was still at the Jiang Family, Lu Ye’s cultivation was far from being as... abnormal as it is now.
Moreover, being in the Jiang Family, cultivation was very restrained, so this was the first time seeing such a commotion firsthand.
The two sat outside for a while, then went on to do their own things.
...
In the training room, as Lu Ye cultivated, two days passed directly.
With the continuous digestion of the resources at hand, Lu Ye’s cultivation undoubtedly reached Earth Realm Third Layer Perfection, beginning his assault on Earth Realm Fourth Layer.
Once he crosses this threshold, he will truly be in the middle stage of the Earth Realm.
At that instant, the strange phenomena in the depths of the mountains intensified.
As if some Demon King was entrenched here, scaring the cultivators passing by to stay far away from this place.
"When did Floating Cloud Mountain become so frightening? This presence, it’s either a reclusive Great Power here or a terrifying peerless fierce beast has appeared in the depths!"
"It’s indeed scary, we better hurry and leave." Another companion agreed, even his voice had a slight tremble.
They were merely Postnatal Realm cultivators, if they really encountered such a fierce beast, should it go hungry and want a bite, forget about running, they probably wouldn’t even leave a few bones behind.
This terrifying commotion lingered for about one or two hours before it began to gradually fade.
At the same time, Lu Ye also successfully crossed the threshold from Third Layer to advance to Earth Realm Fourth Layer.
"Now with the Seven-star Realm, I fear those below Earth Realm Ninth Layer are no match for me."
Lu Ye contemplated for a moment, not out of arrogance, but due to the realm suppression power in the Earth Realm when mastering a domain early.
It’s worth noting, previously She Tianjun only mastered about ten percent of the initial domain, and it already amazed a crowd of Earth Realm Demon Kings.
And now, his Seven-star Realm has reached thirty percent completeness, something She Tianjun’s half-baked domain can’t compare to.
"By this calculation, in about four months, my Seven-star Realm should be fully complete."
Lighting up one stone stele per month, the remaining four nodes perfectly account for four months.
If the Seven-star Realm really reaches perfection, Lu Ye even has the confidence to fight Earth Realm Ninth Layer Perfection at the Fourth Layer Realm.
As for Celestial Realm...
Having not truly felt the terror of a Celestial Realm Grandmaster, Lu Ye held off on speaking too confidently.
Leaving the training room, Lu Ye found the two sisters unexpectedly building a new house.
"Are you building a new training room?"
Seeing the sisters busily working, Lu Ye was a bit surprised.
"Yes, we’re building one for my sister, she needs it, whether for training or alchemy, it’ll be more convenient."
Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded and lent a hand.
Since Jiang Lingyue planned to come over regularly, building more rooms was necessary.
With his help, the construction speed noticeably increased.
Two days later, two more rooms appeared on the open ground.
Then, Jiang Lingyue presented a real-time demonstration of refining a Tier Four Elixir to the two.
"Sister, if you want to improve quickly, I can help you, watch me."
Jiang Lingyue patted her chest and then directly went into the newly built wooden house, taking out her portable alchemy furnace.
"Ah?"
Seeing Jiang Lingyue about to showcase her alchemy skills, Jiang Qingge was a bit surprised: "Should we... let sister handle it instead?"
"She wants to help you, let her try." Upon hearing, Lu Ye didn’t intend to stop her and allowed Jiang Lingyue to proceed.
Since this girl dared to speak, she must have some confidence.
The next almost entire day passed before Jiang Lingyue finally emerged from the wooden house, a bit fatigued.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I finished..."
Though weary, Jiang Lingyue’s face showed visible happiness.
Though she had already advanced to Tier Four Alchemy Master, the higher the tier of the elixir, the less its success rate reaches one hundred percent, becoming increasingly lower.
Fortunately, the refinement was successful.
Jiang Qingge inquisitively looked at the small bottle in Jiang Lingyue’s hand, containing a round elixir.
"Originally, if a seasoned Alchemy Master was here, a furnace of elixir typically yields three to five pills. But I’ve just recently advanced, so I can only manage to retain one pill successfully." Jiang Lingyue explained.
"It’s been tough on you, go and have a rest." Seeing Jiang Lingyue’s fatigue, Jiang Qingge said.
"Yes, yes, I’ll go rest for a while, sister, here you go." Handing the jade bottle with the pill to Jiang Qingge, the exhausted Jiang Lingyue went to rest inside.
"Lingyue really has grown, Tier Four Alchemy Master, that’s akin to a Grandmaster, even more esteemed than one." Jiang Qingge’s eyes revealed a trace of sentiment.
If mother were still here, seeing their achievements now... she’d surely be happy.
"You should take the elixir, digest its effects." Lu Ye said.
At this time, he had just emerged from his closed-door advancement state and could serve as a guardian for the two. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Meanwhile, Lu Ye also began to gradually arrange other arrays in the vicinity.
As Jiang Qingge nodded and entered a room, Lu Ye stood up, beginning to lay down shield arrays in this area.
With the setup, when regular cultivators pass through this spot and even probe with their spiritual sense, they will perceive it as an empty and void region, thereby bypassing it.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to set up a large shield array, merely that this area is vast.
With Lu Ye’s current array skills, he hadn’t yet reached the level to apply a major array sufficient to fully solve it.
He could only set small arrays one by one, linking them for combined effect.
