Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Is the Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body Really That Heaven-Defying?

"Lingxue, I’m actually holding back," Jiang Xinghai said with a wry smile.

Then, he said in a serious tone, "We’re at your house, and it sounds like your parents are still awake. I can’t just do whatever I want; I have to be considerate of them."

"It was my oversight."

Shen Lingxue nodded and glanced at the time. "It’s just after ten. Why don’t we get a hotel room?"

"That’s not necessary, is it?"

Jiang Xinghai didn’t want to waste any more time.

"This is all my fault. I should have thought of this sooner."

Shen Lingxue glanced at Jiang Xinghai, whose hands and feet were bound, at that lithe, powerful body brimming with a wild energy...

’At a time like this, going to get a room would just be another whole ordeal...’

PING...

Just then, Shen Lingxue’s phone suddenly buzzed with a new message.

"Lingxue, your mother and I are heading to the AM Company office. After all, the Anti-Aging Cream is launching the day after tomorrow. We won’t be back tonight. You and Xinghai get some rest." It was a text from Shen Zhengye!

Shen Lingxue was stunned. Her face flushed crimson, and her breathing grew ragged.

’Were we so loud that my parents heard us?’

"Lingxue, why did you suddenly stop?"

Jiang Xinghai, not knowing what was going on, felt a little frustrated. "Who was that? I hope it wasn’t bad news."

"My parents went to the AM Company office. They’re not coming back tonight." For a moment, Shen Lingxue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’This way, she and Jiang Xinghai would be home alone and wouldn’t have to worry about making noise.’

But now she strongly suspected that her parents must have heard them and had deliberately left to give the two of them enough space.

’That has to be it!’

"Your parents sure know what they’re doing," Jiang Xinghai commented sagely.

Shen Lingxue could only manage a wry smile.

’Since no one was home, and Jiang Xinghai was still blindfolded, she might as well let herself go, just this once.’

’She had never been the type of woman to put on a false front.’

’Once she made a decision, she would show her true feelings. There was nothing to be ashamed of.’

「Until the dead of night.」

Jiang Xinghai’s hands and feet were finally freed, and he at last took the lead.

Shen Lingxue could hardly believe Jiang Xinghai’s seemingly inexhaustible stamina.

...

「The next morning.」

The two of them were fast asleep.

「Late in the morning.」

The pair gradually awoke to the sound of a ringing phone.

It was Jiang Xinghai’s phone.

The caller ID showed the name Lin Qingyuan.

"Elder Lin, what’s the matter?" Jiang Xinghai answered the call.

"Jiang, didn’t you say you were going to treat Meng Lihua’s daughter, Nini, for her heart condition today? The two of them are waiting for you at Jishan Hall," Lin Qingyuan said with a chuckle.

"I’ll definitely be there before three this afternoon." Jiang Xinghai felt a pang of guilt; he had completely forgotten about it.

After the call ended, Shen Lingxue tried to get out of bed, her body weak. "We should get up. The Anti-Aging Cream launches tomorrow, so we have to sort out the distributors and promotion today."

Jiang Xinghai reached out to steady her. "Lingxue," he said earnestly, "what you said is important, but you can leave all of it to Yanyun. Right now, the most important thing is for me to help you with your cultivation."

Shen Lingxue looked at him, confused. "Help me with my cultivation?"

"You have to understand, you possess the Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body. After our Yin-Yang Fusion, a great deal of special energy was generated. If you don’t cultivate and refine it in time, it would be an incredible waste," Jiang Xinghai said with great seriousness.

Shen Lingxue had heard Jiang Xinghai mention her unique constitution before. "Is the Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body really that incredible?"

"Sit cross-legged and meditate. Follow the ’Star Decision’ I gave you. Begin to channel the Qi of the Dantian, cleanse your meridians, and circulate it through a full cycle," Jiang Xinghai instructed, sitting down behind her.

Shen Lingxue had actually tried cultivating once before.

At the time, she had been too busy with the company and decided against taking the Gathering Essence Pill, so she never officially stepped onto the path of Martial Arts.

「An hour later.」

Shen Lingxue still hadn’t managed to step onto the path of Martial Arts.

"Is my Dantian a bottomless pit or something?" Shen Lingxue asked, looking uneasy and feeling a little disheartened.

Her younger sister, Shen Lingyin, had only cultivated for a single night.

Not only had she stepped onto the path of Martial Arts, but she had even reached the Great Martial Artist Realm in one go.

Now, she had taken three Gathering Essence Pills in a row and still couldn’t get the hang of it.

"Don’t be disheartened. You have the Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body. You have to build a solid foundation before you can soar to the heavens," Jiang Xinghai assured her.

’In truth, this was all part of his plan.’

Over the next two hours, Shen Lingxue’s accumulated power finally burst forth, and just as he had expected, she successfully stepped onto the path of Martial Arts.

"Lingxue, congratulations! The moment you stepped onto the path of Martial Arts, you went straight to the peak of a Ninth-Order Martial Artist!"

Jiang Xinghai was quite pleased. "You keep going. I need to consolidate my own cultivation now."

After absorbing the energy from Shen Lingxue’s Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body, Jiang Xinghai had been letting it settle within him. Now, he needed to refine and fully absorb it.

He was currently in the early stage of the Creation Realm. By doing this, he could break through to the Middle Stage, which would give him a much better chance in his impending fight against Black Cloak!
