C11 The prestige of spirit scholars

Mu Yuqing was panicking, her state of mind was unstable, and if this continued, she would deviate in her cultivation and die in no time.

No matter if it was martial cultivator or Spiritual Cultivator, they would always choose a quiet secret room when breaking through the barrier in order to not be disturbed. Even if there was no secret room, they would at least find two guardians to guard them.

At this critical moment, Ye Yang's gentle yet firm voice of "don't be afraid, believe me" rang in her ears, and these simple words caused Mu Yuqing's anxious heart to instantly calm down. It was as if she had returned to her childhood, when Ye Yang used his body to shield her from the wind and rain.

In their shared memories, Ye Yang had never lied to her, and she had never doubted in his words. Thus, she restrained her mind and attacked the barrier with all her might.

Seeing Mu Yuqing enter a meditative state, Ye Yang heaved a sigh of relief, but not long after, he started to complain on the inside.

As Mu Yuqing started to attack the barrier, the spiritual pressure around her body gradually increased. Ye Yang felt as if he was trapped inside concrete. It was much stronger than yesterday when he was fighting against Ye Feng. If Mu Yuqing had used this spiritual pressure against Ye Feng yesterday, he would have vomited blood and been seriously injured.

"Is this the spiritual pressure of a Spiritual Scholar? Truly powerful. If not for my astonishing strength and my physically strong body, I would have been injured long ago. Just the spiritual pressure alone is enough to injure me. If she truly uses it to attack her enemies, then it will be extremely powerful. No wonder the Spiritual Scholars are considered as invincible among the other cultivators of the same cultivation level." Ye Yang was jealous in his heart.

An incense's time had passed. The Spiritual Pressure that Mu Yuqing had been releasing became stronger and stronger, and Ye Yang had no choice but to increase the output of the Genuine Qi. Fortunately, because of Ye Yang's Deicide Tactic, his dantian was filled with abundant Genuine Qi. If it were any other person, even if the martial cultivator who had cultivated a cyclone, their Genuine Qi would have long been exhausted.

After a moment, Mu Yuqing's spiritual pressure had already reached its peak …

"Boom!"

Just like a flood that suddenly erupted, Mu Yuqing's spiritual energy seemed to have been detonated. Ye Yang cursed inwardly. He no longer held back the Genuine Qi in his body and employed it all to protect the vital parts of his body.

"Bang!"

With a huge sound, Ye Yang smashed into the wall like a cannonball, and half of the wall collapsed from the impact.

Ye Yang crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. His clothes were already tattered from the impact, his hair was disheveled and down, plus his body was covered in dust. Even without looking in the mirror, Ye Yang could imagine his own appearance. If he gave himself a walking stick and a broken bowl, he would be able to go to the main street to beg for food without using any makeup.

Mu Yuqing slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the half collapsed wall and Ye Yang's miserable image. Tears streamed down her face as she rushed towards Ye Yang, "Brother Ye Yang, I'm sorry. Are you hurt? I didn't think it would be like this."

Ye Yang reached out and rubbed Mu Yuqing's little head, his fingers gently sliding down her smooth and black hair. He smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before? Trust me. Have I ever lied to you? Look at me now, do I look like someone who is hurt?" Saying this, he even knocked his chest a few times, indicating that he really wasn't injured.

Seeing that Ye Yang was really fine, Mu Yuqing finally relaxed and smiled, "It's really good to see that you're fine. If there's anything wrong, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." Then, she said in shock, "Big brother Ye Yang, you are so powerful. You must know that the pressure from our Spirit Scholars is powerful enough to cause even the martial cultivator of the same rank to be affected greatly. The explosion just now when I levelled up will injure average martial scholars. I never thought that you would really be fine, big brother Ye Yang. You have become so strong now."

After being praised by a spirit scholar, even with Ye Yang's thick skin, he could not help but feel hot as he awkwardly said, "It's nothing much, I just have a little rough skin and thick flesh right now."

"Of course not, the strength of the body is very important to the martial cultivator. Even if Big Brother is unable to cultivate the Genuine Qi, you will definitely be very strong if you change to a Body Refinement Art in the future." Mu Yuqing said with a serious face.

"Hehe, your big brother is mentally strong as well, there is no need to intentionally comfort me. Let me tell you another piece of good news, I can start cultivating again. Now I'm at the fifth Empyrean of Qi Condensation!" As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted his decision to say this. He was really stupid to show off his mere achievement of being at the fifth Empyrean of Qi Condensation to a Spiritual Scholar.

Hearing that, Mu Yuqing was stunned. Her beautiful eyes opened wide and she could only react after a long while. She hugged Ye Yang and exclaimed, "This is really great, big brother Ye Yang can finally cultivate, this is really great..."

She was so happy that she could not help but start sobbing. Hearing that Ye Yang could continue his cultivation, Mu Yuqing was even happier than when she first heard that she could train in spiritual energy. Only she knew how much pain it was for Ye Yang to be trapped at the Third Empyrean Qi Condensation for so many years.

Even though he had been bullied and disdained by his peers, he still didn't hesitate to stand in front of her every time she was bullied. Every time he was beaten black and blue, his eyes revealed unyieldingness and thirst for power, which was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Gently embracing Mu Yuqing, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and buried his head into her black hair. His nose was filled with the fragrance of a young girl's body. Ye Yang was so moved that he could not speak, and felt that saying anything now was unnecessary. They strongly felt each other's breath, and immediately forgot about everything around.

"Cough!" A light sound startled the two of them awake. Seeing that there were seven or eight people around who were looking at them with a smile, Mu Yuqing was immediately embarrassed, and lowered her head to the point that it almost touched her chest.

Ye Yang showed no embarrass, instead he blamed that their presence did ruin the good stuff he was enjoying. He blocked in front of Mu Yuqing and laughed, "Father and the other elders, how come you have the time to come to our place? Don't misunderstand, I was doing a test with Yu Qing just now. We were trying to figure out whose heartbeat is faster: a boy's, or a girl's."

Seeing Ye Yang standing in front of her, blocking everyone's eyes, Mu Yuqing felt sweet in her heart, "He knew nothing but talking nonsense."

All of them pursed their lips and wondering. A test? You two were hugging each other just now. Ye Lingtian coughed, breaking the awkward silence, "We heard the loud noise coming from your side, and were afraid that something might have happened to you, so we rushed over to take a look." On saying this, Ye Lingtian pointed at the mess on the ground.

"Oh, it's like this. I told Yu Qing to release the power of the Spiritual Cultivator. The result is the mess you see now. So powerful it is.”

Hearing that, Ye Lingtian frowned: "Then what's going on with you? Wouldn't it be disrespectful to be this messy in front of your esteemed guests?"

"Oh, actually it's like this. When Yu Qing released her attack, I wanted to feel its power, and when she attacked, I was suddenly at the edge of her attack range. That's all," Ye Yang said helplessly.

"En, so that's how it is. Next time, be careful of your safety. You are mature enough to not do these dangerous tests anymore." Ye Lingtian said indifferently, but he emphasized the word "dangerous."

"Yes, I will follow your teachings. Thank you for your concern," Ye Yang bowed after he finished speaking. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the great elder and fourth elder who had somewhat astonished expressions, and laughed coldly in his heart.

The red blush on Mu Yuqing's face still did not recede as Ye Lingtian led the crowd away. The girl is shy.. Ye Yang walked over and smiled, "Have finally sent them away. Wait for me, I will go and change my clothes. And then let’s go out to play."

After Ye Yang changed into a new set of black robes and washed himself, Mu Yuqing also returned to normal and started to chat and laugh with Ye Yang.

The two of them walked out of the door and rushed to the most bustling place in Eight Desolations City — — Yuxi Street. This was the largest street market in the Eight Desolations City. The road was three hundred meters wide and over a dozen kilometers long. Alongside the road seated rows of stores and taverns.

This place was a little similar to the pedestrian streets in Ye Yang's previous life. He strolled around while carrying Mu Yuqing. Mu Yuqing's charm was astonishing. She didn't want to attract too much attention so she bought and wore on a silk mask. Looking around alongside the street, she did buy a lot of small items. nothing more than dolls or accessories that girls liked.

It was almost noon, and both of them were hungry. They walked into a restaurant hand in hand.

He ordered some snacks and delicate pastries, along with a special dish called "Stewed Bear Palm". According to the waiter's introduction, the bear paw inside was the bear's paw of a demonic beast. It was extremely delicious, so Mu Yuqing directly ordered one. Looking at the price on the menu, Ye Yang felt his heart ache. A "Stewing Bear Palm" would actually cost two hundred gold coins. It seemed like this table of dishes would cost at least three hundred gold coins.

The Ye Family disciples would only receive a monthly allowance of 50 gold coins. And this meal would cost Ye Yang half a year's income.

But thinking about how he could treat a beauty like Mu Yuqing to a meal, Ye Yang felt much more balanced. If Mu Yuqing spread the news, Ye Yang could guarantee that those who wanted to treat her to a meal would form a queue long enough stretching to the outside of the Eight Desolations City.

The restaurant's serving speed was very fast. The two of them did not have to wait long before all the dishes were served. They chatted as they ate. Mu Yuqing's appetite was small, and she could only eat some vegetables and snacks.

She reached out her pretty hand to pick up a bear palm with chopsticks, and put it into Ye Yang's bowl as she said, "This dish is for Big Brother Ye Yang. We Spiritual Cultivators are close to nature, so we do not take a liking for meat. Big brother, you're still growing, so you should eat more meat!"

Ye Yang laughed, and without saying anything, he placed the piece of meat into his mouth. The meat burst out exquisite savor the moment it entered his mouth. "What a good taste," he never thought that he would have the chance to taste something he had only heard of in his previous life, and it was a demon9ic beast's paw, not a wild beast's.

Seeing that Ye Yang was enjoying food, Mu Yuqing was also extremely happy. She continuously filled Ye Yang's bowl with meat and even carefully removed some of the bones first.

Ye Yang did not reject anyone. He thought that he should just eat as much as she picked. Since the money has already been spent, wasting it is a shameful crime.

As they were eating, Ye Yang suddenly felt something in his stomach move, and a wave of warmth formed in his stomach, gradually spreading outwards. Ye Yang was shocked, and immediately used the Genuine Qi to block the warm flow. However, he was shocked to realize that the heat had completely disregarded the Genuine Qi's obstruction and continued to spread.

Ye Yang was suddenly shocked: "Am I be poisoned?"
