The night was silent.

Chapter 581 The Profound Elixir Realm

The dream was not long, but when I woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. I stretched and looked at my chest. The red fiery cloud mark was still there. After stretching, as usual, I planned to meditate for half an hour on the bed. However, the moment I circulated my Qi, my whole body jolted. What was going on? To my surprise, the true Qi in my dantian had increased from 13 streams to 16 streams? Moreover, a solidified small dot had appeared within my dantian. This, this was the Xuan Dan? I had broken through? I abruptly opened my eyes, looking at my hands in disbelief. Then I closed my eyes again and circulated my cultivation technique once more, peering internally. Sixteen streams of true Qi, not one more, not one less. I was at the peak of Soul Palace with thirteen streams of true Qi before. But with every major realm breakthrough, three streams of true Qi would be added. Now there were sixteen, and a small dot had condensed in my dantian. This, wasn't this breaking through to the Xuan Dan realm? That small dot should be the condensed Xuan Dan. It was just that it was still relatively small since I had just broken through. What was going on? What was going on? I slept and broke through a major realm? I found it hard to believe, even quite astonished. I pondered for a moment. I felt that this unexpected breakthrough might be related to my fate curse being triggered? Did the triggering of my fate curse affect my current cultivation? This should be the only explanation. Otherwise, I truly couldn't figure out how I had broken through so inexplicably. But breaking through was better than not breaking through. Now, with the great battle imminent, I urgently needed to obtain the "Soul Stone" to lift my fate curse. A little increase in strength was beneficial. After the surprise, I began to circulate my cultivation technique and absorb spiritual Qi. I sensed the realm and state after obtaining the Xuan Dan. After activating the cultivation technique, my various bodily functions had improved comprehensively. That sense of power was much, much stronger than in the Soul Palace realm. If I went by the information I directly learned from Xia Qiu Xi, at my age, there probably wouldn't be anyone in the entire Daoist sect who could condense the Xuan Dan before the age of twenty-two. I couldn't help but smile wryly, was this considered cheating? Cheating with a ten-life fate curse that would get people killed? After a self-mocking laugh, I walked out of the room. I found Xiao Mei curled up on the sofa. She looked up at me and then said, "Qin Ze, you're really strange. You can break through in your sleep, just like us animals." "Oh? You know?" I asked in surprise. Xiao Mei looked up and gave me a sideways glance, "You were emitting such strong true Qi last night, how could I not know?" After speaking, she ignored me, lowered her head, and continued sleeping. I wore a wry smile. The breakthrough was truly unexpected. Seeing Xiao Mei asleep, I planned to go out for breakfast. But at this moment, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was my Uncle-Master calling. "Hello! Uncle-Master!" "Come over!" After speaking, before I could say anything, Uncle-Master hung up the phone. I looked at my phone suspiciously and, forgetting about breakfast, went to the Wanshou Hall opposite. As soon as I arrived at Wanshou Hall, I was stunned. I saw two more women in the shop. One was in a green Daoist robe, looking to be in her forties. The other was in casual women's wear, looking to be in her early twenties. It was Yun Xia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi. "Yun Xia Gu, Qiu Xi..." I exclaimed with surprise. Yun Xia Gu nodded, but her eyes were red. Xia Qiu Xi also had a serious expression and nodded lightly. Uncle-Master then said, "They're here! Now we just need Xiao Mo to arrive, and then we'll go offer incense to your master together." It seemed Yun Xia Gu and Xia Qiu Xi had just arrived. I grunted. Remembering my master's dream from last night, and with no outsiders present, I said, "Uncle-Master, Yun Xia Gu, last night, Master dreamt to me!" As soon as I finished speaking, Yun Xia Gu suddenly turned her head to look at me. Uncle-Master also exclaimed in surprise, "Yi!" Xia Qiu Xi's eyes widened as she looked at me. "Brother Gu, is he doing well?" Yun Xia Gu couldn't help but ask, her voice choked with emotion. Uncle-Master was also shocked, "What did that old fool say? Is he suffering in the underworld?" It was clear that Yun Xia Gu and Uncle-Master cared deeply about my master. I shook my head, "Uncle-Master, don't worry, Master is doing well. He said he's now the gatekeeper in Fengdu City, working as a Yin Messenger, a public servant in the underworld." Hearing this, Yun Xia Gu, whose eyes were red, let out a chuckle. Uncle-Master's tense expression suddenly relaxed, "Good heavens, that old fool became a Yin Messenger?" "Master, you can rest assured now. Uncle Gu accumulated good deeds in life, and now he has his reward. He doesn't have to suffer the torment of reincarnation," Xia Qiu Xi said to Yun Xia Gu. Yun Xia Gu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Mm, mm!" As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her hand. At this moment, someone walked in from outside. Before their arrival, their voice could be heard, "What about not suffering the torment of reincarnation? Oh my god. Yun Xia Gu, Xia Qiu Xi. When did you arrive?"
