Chapter 674: Small Breakthroughs

Chapter 674: Small Breakthroughs

Chen Wentian didn’t take Bei Yingluo too far. Under the cover of the overcast sky, he deposited them atop a small tabletop mountain that overlooked the desert. There were no living things there except for them.

He beckoned to her with one hand behind his back, the classic sect master pose, “Your power is still active; this is a good opportunity. Come, attack me with all of your strength.”

“Yes, master!”

Bei Yingluo whipped out the Jade Tusk Spear. Her eyes flashed with crimson light as the energy within her dantian boiled over, spreading across her body and giving her great power. Her clothes fluttered even though there was no wind, perturbed by the waves of spiritual energy that had nowhere else to go.

“Bei Family Spear, First Movement!”

Her spear thrust forward rapidly. The blade tip was coated in a layer of crimson spiritual energy. Each attack was filled with destructive power and could smash apart boulders as if they were made of sand.

Chen Wentian’s figure glided in the air, dodging left and right. For the attacks he was too lazy to move for, he deflected them with his fingertips.

“Good, let the power into your body. Embrace it and get even stronger!”

“Yes!” Bei Yingluo twirled around and started on the second movement.

As she did so, the level of spiritual energy steadily rose. It went from the 1st Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm to the third level in a short span of time.

“Ha!”

“Haiya!”

Ping!

Pang!

The pair of master and disciple danced across the desert landscape. Under a cloudy night, there was nobody to bear witness except themselves to a wonderous moment.

Chen Wentian sensed it first but he didn’t say anything. Bei Yingluo soon felt it, her mind sea which had been hard at work maintaining her state of mind suddenly pulsed with power and expanded. Just like that, she experienced a small breakthrough from the 3rd Level of the Mind Focusing Realm to the fourth level. It was a long time coming and she burst out laughing.

“Haha, I finally broke through!”

And lastly, through both of their hard over many days, Bei Yingluo once again had a small breakthrough and reached the 5th Level of the Mind Focusing Realm. Chen Wentian attributed the rapid progress to the fact that her hidden power was especially taxing on the mind. Since her mind was getting so much practice, it was natural that she would be able to get some benefits.

“Alright, it is finally time for us to return.” Chen Wentian said one morning and cleaned up their campsite with a sweep of his hand. “Jasmine is about to wake up. There are some matters I have to take care of for her.”

“I understand. Master, what are your instructions?” Bei Yingluo asked.

She looked up at him adoring eyes. If she was completely loyal to him before, these few days had yet again improved her opinion of him to new heights. It was difficult to grasp but it was close to worship and utter devotion.

He smiled and gave her a hug, “Take care of the Bei Clan for now. Staying with your family will only strengthen your state of mind. Cultivate by yourself the same we have done so. I think you should be able to make quick work of the Mind Focusing Realm.”

“Yes, master.”

“Let me know if those crazy women from the south cause you any more problems. I plan on going down there sometime but that will have to wait for another day... Oh, by the way, you might see Lingxi occasionally. I sent word to her and told her about the outpost. She might come if she needs supplies or anything else.”

“Understood, Sister Peng is always welcome.”

“Good, alright. Let’s go back, I bet your aunts will be really surprised by your progress. They might want to have a drinking party again.”

“Hahaha, naturally!”
