A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

"Your father?"

Luan Xinying's tone was questioning, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

She vaguely recalled that when Chen Chu went out to travel, he returned to the Chen family severely injured and died from his injuries not long afterward.

On that occasion, Chen Chu found a treasure in an ancient secret realm, but he never told her about it.

Looking back now, it was probably handed over to Chen Yue.

"My father never gave up on curing my mother's Lingbing cold constitution."

"It wasn't until I found this Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique that I finally found a way to counter the Spirit Ice Cold Body."

"It's a pity that Father only got one of them, so it can't be of any use at all."

"Before he died, he handed over the cultivation technique to me, instructing me to find other fragments, and then passed away in haste."

"Fortunately, the teacher helped me complete the technique, so I was able to hand it over to you in time."

Thinking about these things, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

I was too young at the time to understand why my father insisted on completing the entire collection.

It wasn't until he met Emperor Qingxuan and learned about the relationship between his mother's cold constitution and the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique that he fully understood his father's intentions.

After hearing Chen Yue's words, Luan Xinying was heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't cheer up at all.

"So...so the reason your father died was because of my cold constitution."

Chen Yue gently patted his mother's younger relative to comfort her.

He also knew that such a heavy topic shouldn't be brought up during a time of joy and celebration.

But he didn't want to hide all the efforts his father had made for his mother.

Luan Xinying remained silent, recalling Chen Chu's handsome, dashing, and enthusiastic appearance as a young man.

The Chen Yue before me looks remarkably like Chen Chu back then.

Luan Xinying cherished the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique in her mind even more, and secretly made up her mind to work hard to cultivate it.

We cannot let Xiao Yue down, and we certainly cannot let Chen Chu down.

From now on, she will use her own strength to fight against the backlash from the Spirit Ice Cold Body.

Suddenly, Luan Xinying remembered the teacher that Chen Yue had mentioned many times and wanted to ask him about it.

But after thinking about it, I kept quiet.

A person who can easily refine sixth-grade pills and complete a Heaven-rank cultivation technique must be a powerful figure.

Having done so much for Chen Yue's family, it would be incredibly inconsiderate to doubt them now.

"Xiaoyue, Mom wants to rest."

Chen Yue nodded and helped his mother sit down on the edge of the bed.

I left the house quietly, so as not to disturb my mother's rest.

Inside the courtyard, Xiao Xuan lay on top of Su Yi, twisting Su Yi's ears with both hands.

"Xiao Yi, you've grown wings and you're different now. So what if you have long legs? You'd better not let them catch you!"

"No, Sister Xiaoxuan, it hurts! I won't pretend anymore, please forgive me!"

Seeing this, Chen Yue sighed helplessly.

No matter what, Xiao Su Yi can't escape Xiao Xuan's clutches.

"Xiao Xuan, let go of Xiao Su Yi! What if you pull her over and turn her into a big-eared thief?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su rubbed her ears in fright.

"I don't want to be a big-eared thief! Sister Xiaoxuan, find somewhere else to drag me!"

Xiaoxuan was taken aback for a moment, "Ah...ah? Can I pick you up somewhere else?"

"This is the first time I've heard such an unreasonable request. Well then, I'll reluctantly agree to it. I was already planning to give up."

Xiao Xuan pinched Su Yi's inner arm hard, holding back at all.

Turning to Chen Yue, she said, "Young Master, I really didn't want to, but Xiao Yi asked for it, so I couldn't refuse!"

Chen Yue was truly on the verge of tears. One was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit; what could he do?

Su Yi felt a sharp pain; this pinch hurt even more than if her leg had been broken!

She begged for forgiveness repeatedly, shouting, "Sister Xiaoxuan, I was wrong! I'll never talk nonsense again! Please don't pinch me anymore!"

Xiao Xuan stood up, brushing the dust off her clothes. "It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't mess with me again!"

Xiao Xuan glared at Su Yi, and that glare made him freeze in place.

Su Yi lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, then quickly got up as if nothing had happened.

Chen Yue looked at Xiao Xuan and Su Yi and found that their cultivation levels had reached the fifth and fourth levels of Body Tempering, respectively.

It won't be long before the two of them face the situation of having a source introduced into their bodies.

So Chen Yue said to the two of them, "Xiao Xuan, Su Yi, as long as you two can draw the source into your bodies and reach the Enlightenment Realm..."

"I will give you the cultivation techniques."

Upon hearing the young master's words, Xiaoxuan and Su Yi exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with excitement.

The young master is different now than before; his cultivation speed is as fast as the two of them can see.

Since the young master said this to the two of them, it means that the young master must have something good in his possession.

"Young Master, I will definitely cultivate diligently and reach the Enlightenment Realm as soon as possible!" Xiao Xuan said earnestly and confidently.

"Young Master, I will definitely work harder than Sister Xiaoxuan and reach the Enlightenment Realm before her!"

Su Yi also looked serious and said with great conviction.

Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Xiao Xuan inexplicably felt a surge of anger and glared at him.

Su Yi felt a chill run down her spine, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Xuan's angry eyes.

That fear of being controlled surged into my heart once again.

He quickly changed his tune, saying, "Young Master, I think I'm definitely not as diligent as Sister Xiaoxuan. Sister Xiaoxuan will definitely be the first to reach the Enlightenment Realm."

"Sister Xiaoxuan will definitely get the cultivation technique first, and I can get it later."

Seeing how sensible Su Yi had become, Xiao Xuan smiled with relief.

The fingers that were resting on Su Yi fell down.

"Phew..." Su Yi glanced at it secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yue advised, "Only by becoming strong can you protect those around you and yourself."

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Su Yi, I'm waiting for your good news about breaking through to enlightenment."

"Yes!" the two answered in unison.

After saying that, Chen Yue returned to the house, preparing to absorb the life essence of the Crimson Winged Python Tiger.

Holding it in my hand, a burning sensation spread throughout my entire palm.

Place your life essence in front of you, sit on the ground, and fully open your source sea to absorb the life-long source power of the Crimson Winged Python Tiger within the essence.

With a few cracking sounds, several cracks appeared on the smooth surface of the vital essence.

From the crack, wisps of crimson source energy drifted out and entered Chen Yue's source sea.

"So...so hot source energy."

Chen Yue's eyes were tightly closed, his breathing became rapid, and large beads of sweat kept falling to the ground.

The intense source energy was almost igniting Chen Yue's source sea.

Chen Yue endured the pain and slowly refined it with his own source power.

However, it is ultimately the life essence of a near-fourth-tier spirit beast, and it is extremely difficult to devour it in a short time.

Chen Yue could only proceed steadily and absorb the knowledge gradually.

Just now, there was still abundant primordial energy, and the life essence was shining with a crimson light.

The light visibly dimmed considerably, and the sweltering heat shifted to Chen Yue's source sea.

"Another breakthrough..."

With a large amount of Origin Qi entering his body, Chen Yue clearly felt that his cultivation level smoothly transitioned from the first level of Origin Condensation to the second level of Origin Condensation.

The power of his life essence has not yet been fully absorbed.

Once fully absorbed, his cultivation level will likely reach the late stage of the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

An unnamed fire quietly burned within him.
