Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 33: The Second Young Master's comprehension is even more terrifying than the Young Miss's!

"A person lives for a breath, a Buddha competes for an incense stick. No matter what, I just have to compete with Qin Qingyue!"

Qin Luo made up his mind and vowed to regain his dignity from the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Qin Qingyue.

He lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, which had the words "Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Technique" written on the cover.

These five words were not unfamiliar to Qin Luo. In his previous life's memories, someone had given him the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Technique to cultivate when he was a child, but he had burned it.

After more than ten years of wandering, this cultivation technique had once again come into his hands.

"Qin Qingyue should also be cultivating this technique..."

The duel with Qin Qingyue was scheduled for the evening, and Qin Luo didn't have any spare time to waste. He immediately opened the book, but to his surprise, as soon as he flipped to the first page, countless delicate and elegant characters jumped out at him. Each character seemed to possess a vitality of its own, constantly twisting and jumping on the pages.

"It truly deserves to be a cultivation technique, it really has some depth..."

Qin Luo secretly marveled and focused his attention, pouring all his energy into the sea of words.

Under such intense concentration, Qin Luo himself didn't realize that every time his gaze swept over a character, that character would quickly fade on the page, disappearing in an instant as if it had never existed.

...

At the same time, outside the courtyard gate.

Fulin, dressed in a green robe, looked in the direction Qin Qingyue had flown off to with his old and cloudy eyes, tears shimmering faintly.

"Young Miss, you have finally given the Second Young Master this opportunity."

He had been waiting outside the gate the whole time, and he had heard every sound of the fight between Qin Qingyue and Qin Luo, understanding clearly what it meant when Qin Qingyue handed that cultivation technique to Qin Luo.

"If the Madam were still alive, she would probably be able to rest in peace with a smile..."

The image of the girl who was always smiling in his memories, like a closed moon and a shy flower, appeared in Fulin's mind, as if he had returned to the youthful years when he drove his young miss around the world.

After an unknown amount of time, Fulin suddenly came back to his senses, discreetly wiping away the moisture in his eyes.

"Although the Young Miss's cultivation technique is unparalleled in the world, it is also extremely profound and obscure. Only someone with exceptional comprehension can cultivate it. The Second Young Master has never had any experience with cultivation before, and with no one to guide him, it will probably be difficult for him to make progress within one or two months."

Thinking of this, Fulin was about to enter the gate and give Qin Luo some basic knowledge of cultivation, but unexpectedly...

"Boom!"

The sky suddenly exploded with a muffled thunderous sound.

Fulin's expression changed as he looked up.

Qin Wude had hundreds of guards in the Prime Minister's Residence, and in order to provide them with the spiritual energy they needed for their daily cultivation, he spared no expense in setting up a Spirit Gathering Formation in the residence, using various precious materials. In the entire Fengtian City, only the spiritual energy in the imperial palace was denser than in the Prime Minister's Residence.

However, at this moment, Fulin clearly saw that the Spirit Gathering Formation hidden above the Prime Minister's Residence was now operating at an overload, crazily drawing spiritual energy from all directions and converging it into a visible green liquid.

"Which guard in the residence is breaking through?" Fulin speculated.

The Spirit Gathering Formation set up by Qin Wude was very user-friendly, able to independently sense the fluctuations of everyone's spiritual power within the formation. If anyone was on the verge of a breakthrough, the Spirit Gathering Formation would activate and gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth to assist them.

"Judging from the momentum of the Spirit Gathering Formation, it should be a guard breaking through from the Foundation Building stage to the Gold Core stage."

Fulin pondered for a moment, then suddenly saw the green liquid in the air rushing down like the waters of the Yellow River, pouring directly into the courtyard in front of him.

"..."

Fu Lin was stunned for a moment before reacting abruptly.

The spiritual liquid gathered by the Spirit Gathering formation only surged towards the person about to break through. And in front of him, there was clearly only Qin Luo in the courtyard!

"Second Young Master!"

Without hesitation, Fu Lin pushed open the courtyard door with a palm. His gaze was sharp as he immediately spotted Qin Luo in the corner of the courtyard.

At this moment, Qin Luo was sitting cross-legged, with a blank book placed on his lap. His eyes were tightly closed as he entered a state of intense cultivation. A large amount of green spiritual liquid descended from the sky, continuously flowing into his body. The powerful waves of energy brought by the spiritual liquid caused his black hair to dance wildly in the opposite wind.

"Second Young Master... Are you actually about to break through?!"

Fu Lin murmured in disbelief, his old face filled with incredulity.

He knew that the cultivation method Qin Qingyue had given Qin Luo was precious and powerful, but the more precious and powerful a cultivation method was, the more difficult it was to cultivate.

Even with the monstrous talent of Miss Qin, it took her three full days to cultivate her first trace of spiritual energy. But as for the Second Young Master, from the moment he received the cultivation method until now, when he was about to break through Qi Refining, had it even been half a day?

"Could it be that the Second Young Master's talent is even more terrifying than Miss Qin's?"

Fu Lin couldn't believe it, but the fact was right in front of him, leaving him with no choice but to believe.

Under the infusion of the spiritual liquid, the fluctuations of spiritual power on Qin Luo's body surface soared. In just a few breaths, he broke through the restraints of the first and second levels of Qi Refining and approached the third level.

"Second Young Master, with such talent, if only you had revealed it earlier, you wouldn't have wasted more than ten years..."

Fu Lin's lips trembled, his eyes turning red.

Half a month ago, he had told Qin Luo that he had missed the best time for cultivation, that his meridians and bones had already solidified. But in fact, this statement was just an excuse for him to avoid guiding Qin Luo.

With Qin Wude's power, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not lacking in various precious treasures. In fact, in the past half month, the food Qin Luo consumed had already been supplemented by Fu Lin with precious medicines that could help him open up his meridians for a second time.

"But fortunately, it's not too late for you to reveal it now... If Madam knew about this from the underworld, she would definitely be able to rest in peace with a smile!"

Fu Lin burst into tears, remembering the girl in his memory who always smiled like a closed moon and blooming flower.

"Boom..."

The sound of the surging energy gradually subsided, and the Spirit Gathering formation in the sky stopped operating.

"Phew."

Qin Luo slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and muttered to himself, "The cultivation method Qin Qingyue gave me is nothing special. Just a glance is enough to understand..."

His words came to a sudden halt as he looked at Fu Lin, who was staring at him in a daze.

"How did you come in? Is it time for a meal?"

In the past, Fu Lin would only come to deliver food during meal times.

"It's not mealtime yet." Fu Lin lowered his head. "But if Second Young Master is hungry, this old servant will go prepare it now."

"Then go prepare. This young master wants to eat meat this afternoon, preferably leg meat as thin as Qin Qingyue's legs." Qin Luo waved his hand to dismiss him.

"...Yes."

Just as Fu Lin was about to leave, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Second Young Master, what level of Qi Refining have you reached?"

Qin Luo frowned, surprised, and asked in return, "What level of Qi Refining? I haven't even started cultivating yet. I warn you not to talk nonsense to others, especially Qin Qingyue!"
