That night, Lin Mengjiao couldn't even defeat Fang Rong, and under this blow, she was completely immersed in cultivation.
Chen Jie, after pondering, decided to use two spirit stones.
Although Lin Mengjiao had some talent, it wasn't much, so her cultivation was sufficient with the spirit gathering formation in the villa.
Chen Jie, however, found that the mere spirit extraction formation was no longer enough to satisfy his cultivation speed.
If he cultivated with all his might, he would absorb all the spiritual energy gathered by the spirit extraction formation.
At that point, Lin Mengjiao would have no spiritual energy to absorb.
"This is only the strength of Qi Refining Layer Four. To Layer Five or even Foundation Establishment, the consumption will likely be even more terrifying," Chen Jie thought to himself. "This trip to Wutaishan seems very necessary. Perhaps I'll have unexpected gains there."
With that thought, he directly crushed the round spirit stone in his hand.
This spirit stone was obtained from the Zhou family.
*Bang!*
A surge of majestic spiritual energy filled the surroundings, and Chen Jie began to cultivate.
This spirit stone, unlike Xiao Ding's contaminated one, contained a great deal of pure spiritual energy.
Two hours later, the scattered spiritual energy was consumed, and Chen Jie's strength broke through to Qi Refining Layer Five in one fell swoop.
Chen Jie did not stop, and crushed the spirit stone he had bought at the auction again.
This spirit stone possessed even more potent spiritual energy, which precisely compensated for Chen Jie's need for more spiritual energy at Qi Refining Layer Five.
The next day, at five in the morning.
*Boom!*
A terrifying aura emanated from Chen Jie's body before being reined in.
Qi Refining Layer Six!
"Master! I've broken through!"
*Patter, patter, patter...*
A sound of footsteps approached, and then a charming figure burst into Chen Jie's bedroom.
Chen Jie glanced at Lin Mengjiao and was immediately startled. At the same time, a wicked thought arose in his mind, and he instinctively reached out to grab Lin Mengjiao's delicate shoulders...
"Master..."
Lin Mengjiao let out a soft cry, but her face was flushed, and she did not resist.
Chen Jie's body trembled, and he quickly reined in his thoughts, looking at Lin Mengjiao in shock.
Although Lin Mengjiao was still wearing ordinary clothes, her demeanor had changed significantly.
A seductive aura seemed to be innate, making any man who saw her's blood boil.
Sexy, charming, perfect!
Like a man-killer.
It almost made Chen Jie unable to resist.
Even though he regained his senses at the last moment, he couldn't help but feel desire when he looked at Lin Mengjiao.
This was the benefit of being a cultivator; as one's strength increased, their aura would become more transcendent, constantly amplifying their advantages.
Lin Mengjiao possessed a natural allure, so when she broke through to become a Qi Refiner, her charm became innate, stirring impure thoughts in men, making her seem like walking hormones.
"Mengjiao, what did you just say?" Chen Jie asked, masking his awkwardness.
"Master, after cultivating all night, I've broken through to Qi Refiner!"
Lin Mengjiao looked at Chen Jie with immense joy. Upon seeing him, a sense of shock also arose within her.
Her gaze towards Chen Jie then held a touch of infatuation.
Her delicate body couldn't help but move closer to Chen Jie, throwing herself into his embrace.
She felt that Chen Jie today seemed like a descending god in her eyes; just one glance made her heart flutter like a startled deer.
Her heart throbbed intensely, and she couldn't help but want to be close to Chen Jie.
This was the change brought about by Chen Jie's breakthrough to Qi Refining Layer Six.
His masculine aura had become even more pronounced, exerting immense influence on women.
"Control your thoughts!" Chen Jie said with a light shout.
Lin Mengjiao's heart trembled, and she regained her senses.
Then, with a blush, she said, "Master, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have had those thoughts about you just now. I..."
Chen Jie coughed and said, "This is a side effect of our breakthrough. We are fine, we can control ourselves. If some ordinary person saw this, they might lose control on the spot."
"Ah? Then won't it be very troublesome in the future?" Lin Mengjiao asked worriedly.
She absolutely did not want others to desire her.
"Don't worry, as your strength solidifies, this state will gradually fade. You should return to normal in about a day," Chen Jie replied.
"Oh..."
Lin Mengjiao secretly thought, could it be that she almost made Master lose control just now?
If that were the case, she suddenly wished to maintain this state.
"Ahem, go back to your room and change your clothes," Chen Jie reminded her.
Lin Mengjiao's transformation was too significant. Wearing a skirt at that moment, her slender legs made Chen Jie dizzy.
"Okay." Lin Mengjiao turned and went back into her room.
Chen Jie, meanwhile, ascended to the rooftop.
Then, he leaped, and as the breeze blew, his body actually floated in mid-air, not falling for a long time.
This was the Wind Soaring Technique.
It was a characteristic ability of a Qi Refiner, allowing one to fly in the air briefly. This was Chen Jie's first time using it. Now that he was at Qi Refining Layer Six, executing the Wind Soaring Technique was very effortless.
"Master!" From below, Lin Mengjiao looked up at the sky, her face filled with adoration and worship.
Chen Jie landed and looked at Lin Mengjiao. Upon seeing her, his heart stirred once more.
He saw that Lin Mengjiao's top had been replaced by a somewhat tight-fitting shirt, its buttons barely holding.
And her lower body was clad in an even shorter skirt.
Chen Jie suppressed his impulse and shouted, "Mengjiao, I told you to change your clothes, what did you do?"
"Ah? Master, what's wrong?" Lin Mengjiao feigned ignorance.
At the same time, she twisted her body, and a button popped off.
Chen Jie, silently reciting a cleansing mantra, said, "Go change into something more modest and then come see me!"
"Master, I'm sorry. I misunderstood your intention. I'll go change now." Lin Mengjiao said with shame.
As she turned, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile, revealing a triumphant expression.
A moment later, Lin Mengjiao finally put on long sleeves and long pants.
Chen Jie felt a lot more at ease.
However, Chen Jie still noticed that Lin Mengjiao would inadvertently bend over or cross her arms...
Downstairs, Lin Mengjiao brought a basin of spiritual liquid to Chen Jie and said, "Master, I discovered that the spiritual liquid generated by the spirit gathering formation can be drunk to relieve hunger and refresh the mind. This morning, let's have some spiritual liquid to get by."
Chen Jie was somewhat speechless. The quality of this spiritual liquid was almost on par with spirit stones.
However, it contained too many impurities, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
Even so, it was still an extremely rare treasure.
To put it mildly, charging a protective artifact for someone else could earn fifty thousand.
Their few sips were equivalent to drinking millions.
"This spiritual liquid does more than just refresh the mind and relieve hunger. It can even improve the human body, turning one into a martial artist, and even making them immune to diseases," Chen Jie reminded her.
"Then, Master, do you mean this spiritual liquid can cure illnesses?" Lin Mengjiao asked doubtfully.
"Yes, curing illnesses is just the most obvious function. Because those who possess this spiritual liquid don't need to be cured, its effect, though strong, isn't of great practical use," Chen Jie explained.
"Master, this spiritual liquid is useless to us, but we can sell it to others!" Lin Mengjiao suggested.
Chen Jie's heart suddenly moved.
