Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

This should help our Cultivation. Here, I'll give you some!"

Qing Lian was, of course, pleasantly surprised.

In truth, however, Xu Lei was also treating her as one of his test subjects.

After Qing Lian had cultivated with the Spiritual Liquid for over ten days, he was able to confirm it.

Not only were there no negative effects, but the progress of her Power had become much faster than before.

Only then was Xu Lei truly and completely at ease.

'Time to try cultivating with this Spiritual Liquid.'

That day, inside the Cultivation Room, Xu Lei finally drew in a tiny drop of the Spiritual Liquid and absorbed it himself.

Just as he expected, Xu Lei felt a stream of pure energy circulating within his body.

After this energy was guided by his Magical Power to circulate through his meridians, it quickly merged into his Lower Dantian.

Then, after fusing with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it gradually transformed into Magical Power.

"It really works!"

Xu Lei was delighted. "This Demon Empress… to think she'd send me such a treasure.

This stuff is even more useful than a Demon Core."

Xu Lei didn't know what it was, as the other items he had obtained previously included no explanation of this Spiritual Liquid.

But as long as it was useful for his Cultivation, Xu Lei wasn't concerned with the details.

And so, Xu Lei continued his daily life in the Prince's Mansion with Qing Lian.

From time to time, they would wander around and enjoy the scenery.

Of course, every day Xu Lei still had to tend to Qing Lian's injured area to heal her.

Meanwhile, King Yu was also making all sorts of preparations with great urgency.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, another year passed.

On this day, inside the Cultivation Room, Xu Lei finished his Cultivation.

"I've broken through to Tier Four of the Bodhisattva Pattern Realm."

Xu Lei muttered to himself as he stood up, "This kind of progress is beyond my original expectations!

This Spiritual Liquid really is amazing stuff!"

In the past year, Xu Lei's body had also grown a bit.

This was because Xu Lei hadn't suppressed his body's growth.

The body still needed to grow as much as possible to better withstand his Power.

So Xu Lei didn't want to drag out his physical body's development, letting it grow slowly.

In fact, if he did drag it out, it could take ten or even twenty years for Xu Lei's body to reach adulthood.

This was because Xu Lei had inherited his previous life's Cultivation from birth.

A Cultivation of this level could indeed slow the body's aging to such a degree.

However, forcibly slowing his growth like that had some drawbacks, Xu Lei discovered.

First, it was inconvenient when he needed to take action.

A child possessing such strength was always strange.

A single slip-up could expose the secret of his reincarnation.

Second, his physical body would feel a certain sense of pressure.

That was why Xu Lei allowed his body to grow normally.

But Qing Lian, on the other hand, must not have released her suppression, instead doing her best to delay her body's aging.

That's why, after all this time, she still looked the same as before, with no changes.

She was, after all, a delicate and pure young nun.

Of course, she no longer used her identity as a nun publicly.

"Senior, my Cultivation has improved!"

That day, just as Xu Lei came out, Qing Lian announced happily, "I've already cultivated to the Bodhisattva Tree Realm!"

A year ago, she had been two Small Realms away.

Xu Lei couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

'She cultivates quite quickly.'

In the same amount of time, Xu Lei had only advanced by one Small Realm.

"Very good. I've also improved a little."

Xu Lei nodded. "Let's go. Time to eat."

After walking for a while, the two of them sat at the dining table.

"Senior, my wound is bothering me again." But just then, Qing Lian walked over, blushing slightly as she undid her clothes.

"Come here." Xu Lei simply opened his arms.

With practiced ease, Qing Lian walked over and sat on Xu Lei's lap.

Then Xu Lei began to heal her while he ate.

Qing Lian no longer cried like she used to; she had grown accustomed to it.

She even seemed to be enjoying it a little.

"Senior, what… what's in your pocket?"

But suddenly, Qing Lian asked, "Why… does it feel a little strange?"

"My body has started to grow up."

Xu Lei explained calmly, "So…"

"Ah?"

Qing Lian's face turned completely red. "This…?"

"Don't worry. Healing is just healing. I won't do anything."

Xu Lei continued, "Besides, I'm only eleven years old. Engaging in relations between men and women at this age is bad for my health. So rest assured, just pretend you don't know."

That's right. An eleven-year-old's body, in fact, was already beginning to have some feelings toward the opposite sex.

However, Xu Lei did not indulge himself.

Instead, he remained firm and unmoved.

'Let my body continue to grow first.'

「And then, finally, that day came.」

News arrived from King Yu.

He had finished his preparations.

It was time to march on the Capital City.

Soon, King Yu began to move.

The entire world was shaken.

「Meanwhile.」

The Benevolent King, far away on the other side, was stunned when he heard the news.

"That Miss Wei… she's so young. How could she possibly be so highly valued by Second Brother?"

The Benevolent King said, "And now, Second Brother is actually rebelling?

'So what she said back then, about wanting to choose a new master for the world, was true?

Does she really have the power to overturn the world?

Why, back when she lived in my Prince's Mansion for so many days, did I not see it at all?

So am I really not talented enough?

A great talent came to my door, but I couldn't keep her?'

"Father, don't overthink it."

At this moment, the Benevolent King's son said, "That Miss Wei, what kind of ability could she have?

She can only write a single poem.

That poem, 'Do You Know? Do You Know?', while admittedly magnificent…

…but after that, she never composed another one.

So it's possible that talent wasn't even her own.

She's only fourteen or fifteen!

How could she possibly influence the state of the world?

It's impossible!

The reason Second Uncle is acting this way… I suspect he's been bewitched by her beauty!

This is what they mean by 'bewitching words to delude the masses' and 'a beauty that spells disaster.' She's exactly that kind of person.

Second Uncle must have been plotting this for a long time."
