chop!
chop!
Zhou Ling was about to eat when he heard the sound of chopping meat coming from the courtyard.

He then took a bowl of spiritual porridge in one hand and a meat bun in the other, and walked out of the main room while eating.

He saw his father chopping monster meat by the well.

The meat from half of a monster's body had already filled a large wooden basin.

My mother is laying a layer of meat, sprinkling a layer of spices, and some of her homemade wine in a wooden basin.

"Mom, what holiday is it today? Why are there so many meats?"

Zhou Ling chewed on a steamed bun, took a sip of spirit porridge, and asked curiously.

Li Ru wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, saying, "Ling'er, do you see anything different about your mother today?"

My mother's hair looked like it had just been washed; her long hair was flowing and exuded a moist scent. Her fair skin and rosy complexion shone brightly in the morning sunlight.

My mother was also an extremely beautiful woman, but she ate simple meals and never dressed up.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother looks even more beautiful today!"

"That's right!" Li Ru chuckled. "Then I really have to thank Xin'er for the beauty pill!"

He then cleared his throat and looked at Zhou Shan, "Ling'er, I have some good news to tell you today!"

"Mother, let me guess what the good news is!" Zhou Ling chuckled and said with an air of seriousness.

"Business was great at the workshop yesterday; I made a few spirit stones!"

Li Ru chuckled and shook her head.

What nice things did Father give Mother?

"Did Father promise Mother he wouldn't go into the mountains anymore?"

······.

Zhou Ling drank the spiritual porridge while deep in thought.

Seeing that his father also had a happy look on his face, and that he had bought so much meat, he was definitely going to entertain his friends!

"Neither. Your father and I have both broken through!"

"I've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, while your father has reached the late stage of Body Refinement!"

Li Ruyi said with a happy expression.

"Really, that's great, it's worth celebrating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling patted his forehead, his face beaming with delight!
I'll be eleven years old in a few months.

Thinking back to the beginning, from a dying baby to now being at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

For independent cultivators, this cultivation speed is absolutely astonishing.

Although he has natural talent, he still needs his parents' resources to support him.

Over the years, their cultivation has made little progress because they have used up all the limited resources their family had on themselves.

Now, how to improve his parents' spiritual cultivation is also something he has been thinking about.

"It's nothing that I've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

"However, we should celebrate your father's entry into the late stage of Body Refinement."

"In addition, our distillery business usually relies on the support of our neighbors and friends, so your father and I discussed it."

"Let's have a small banquet to celebrate and thank everyone for their support!"

Li Ru smiled.

After sprinkling and spreading the spices evenly, he got up and walked towards the kitchen, saying to Zhou Ling, "I already stewed a leg of beast meat this morning. You can take it to your master and Xin'er later."

"In addition, I have brewed several jars of fine plum wine, please take them with you as well!"

Zhou Ling nodded happily.

He felt even happier about his parents' improvement in their spiritual cultivation than about his own.

His appetite improved considerably, and he ate several bowls of spirit porridge, several meat buns, and spirit eggs.

The distillery is closed for the day, and Yuanhu came over early this morning to help out.

He also brought a large fish, saying that his mother had instructed him to thank Aunt Ru! Li Ru resolutely refused to accept it. Although the fish was an ordinary fish, it still contained some blood and spiritual energy, and if sold, it would be worth about ten pieces of spirit fragments.

Although it doesn't seem like much, it might be the income that Yuanhu's parents earned from a day's hard work.

Yuanhu insisted that his mother accept the gift, no matter what.

Finally, Zhou Shan said with a smile, "I'll go and invite Hu Zi's parents over later, and I'll also bring them a jar of good spirit wine!"

Li Ru then accepted the fish.

Then the mother began preparing the ingredients.

With Yuan Hu's help, Zhou Ling didn't stay at home and went to Maple Leaf Mountain.

Although I'm not planning to cultivate today, I still need to deliver breakfast to Master and Xin'er.

······.

Maple Leaf Mountain is bursting with spring, with vegetation growing and maple trees beginning to sprout new green leaves.

Inside the courtyard, the two fiery maple trees were still covered with brilliant red leaves.

Zhou Ling found it really strange that these two spirit trees seemed to have no seasonal cycle, yet the spiritual energy they released was becoming increasingly dense.

Wang Xin's clothes became lighter and thinner, making her look much thinner and her figure appear more slender and delicate.

Moreover, in terms of cultivation, he broke through the seventh level of Qi Refining and entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

His alchemy and formation skills have also improved significantly. He is now able to refine first-grade high-quality pills and set up first-grade high-quality formations.

Such cultivation and ability are absolutely unattainable in the eyes of rogue cultivators!
However, despite Wang Xin's obvious progress, Wang Yu did not hold a banquet to celebrate.

After all, aristocratic families are different from independent cultivators.

For aristocratic families, such progress might be considered perfectly normal.

However, for independent cultivators, each small step forward is extremely difficult.

This could be the end of their cultivation at any time.

Therefore, any improvement, especially overcoming a bottleneck, is a major life event for everyone!
Wang Yu would go up the mountain every ten days or so to deliver some living and cultivation supplies to Wang Xin, ensuring that Wang Xin had enough resources for cultivation.

This also meant that Zhou Ling would occasionally receive free Heqi Pills.

However, Wang Xin's alchemy skills were not up to Wang Yu's level, and the Qi-Melting Pills she refined were only ordinary first-grade high-quality Qi-Melting Pills.

It is not suitable for frequent use.

However, taking one or two a month shouldn't be a problem.

Every time Wang Yu came over, Zhou Ling would ask about the Blood Lotus and the True Cloud Cold Spring, but so far he hadn't found anything.

This also gave him a sense of urgency.

The June assessment is getting closer and closer.

I've only opened forty-one spiritual acupoints so far; the speed is still too slow!
But cultivation is something that can't be rushed!
As for the master, he seemed unchanged. He drank every day, and when he was bored, he would sit on a bamboo chair and look at the maple leaves on Maple Leaf Mountain.

Zhou Ling didn't seem to have seen her leave Maple Leaf Mountain either.

Zi Ling seemed quite satisfied with the plum wine and beast meat that Zhou Ling had brought her.

Upon hearing that Zhou Ling's family was hosting a dinner party today, Wang Xin was overjoyed and asked Zi Ling for leave to join in the fun.

Her mother always told her not to leave Maple Leaf Mountain unless necessary.

Now that such an opportunity has come up, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Zi Ling agreed, and she had never made any demands on either of them.

They never expressed satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their cultivation progress.

It's basically a free-range model.

Ask questions if you have any, and continue cultivating under the Fire Essence Maple Tree if you don't.

People might pay less attention to them than to what kind of spirit wine Zhou Ling will bring next time.

After delivering the spirit wine and ingredients to his master, Zhou Ling took Wang Xin and the two left Maple Leaf Mountain in high spirits.
