Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

BANG!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The wind and snow howled through the Qin residence.

It was just dawn.

At this moment, most people were still tucked under the warm blanket and sleeping.

However, Luo Qingzhou had already woken up and was cultivating in the bamboo forest in the northwest corner of Moonlight Rain Court.

In the snowstorm.

His upper body was naked, and his skin was tense. He collided violently with the hard tree trunk.

He was akin to a raging angry bull giving its all.

Over and over again, the skin and flesh in all parts of his body were used as pig iron. They were repeatedly tempered under the strong pressure and nourishment of the tree trunk and internal energy.

He was tireless and unafraid of pain.

His skin and flesh quickly turned red. Then, it started to heat up and jump slightly.

Soon, he was drenched in sweat.

Luo Qingzhou cultivated from dawn to noon without stopping.

Finally, he stopped practicing when his muscles ached and he was weak and hungry.

He took out a piece of cooked beef from his bag and had a simple lunch with a large gourd of well water.

After lunch, he rested for a while.

He first calmed himself down and circulated his internal cultivation technique for some time.

Then, he got up and continued cultivating.

BANG!

After another two hours of violent collision, the thick strong tree suddenly cracked from the middle and almost broke.

The part where the crack had formed had become as soft as cotton from Luo Qingzhou’s countless collisions with it. It was a tragic sight.

Luo Qingzhou could only change his target to another tree and continue cultivating.

It was almost evening.

He picked up the rock again and began to stretch his already sore muscles.

His entire body was covered in sweat as if he had just walked out of a lake. His sweat flowed down his chin, arms, and heels.

Her skin, which was exposed to the air, emitted a bright and firm luster.

Snowflakes fluttered. Just as they were about to land on him, they were melted by the scorching aura he emitted.

Luo Qingzhou panted heavily. He was sweating profusely. His muscles bulged as he squeezed out the last of his strength to squat in the horse stance while raising a huge rock in one hand.

His muscles were trembling, and his body was trembling. His breath was like flames, scorching hot.

There seemed to be an invisible airflow surrounding his body, isolating him from the snowflakes in the sky and the cold wind around him.

With his last ounce of strength, Luo Qingzhou suddenly roared and threw out the rock in his hand. Then, he raised his fist and smashed it heavily against a big tree beside him.

BANG!

The tree trunk caved in and exploded. The thick tree immediately tilted and broke in the middle, falling into the dense bamboo forest.

“Strength, hardness, and explosive power seem to have increased a lot.”

Luo Qingzhou panted heavily and looked at his unscathed fist. He was quite satisfied with the results of his cultivation.

However, he reminded himself not to casually destroy these trees again.

He could not waste this tree, that had already been broken.

The tree trunk was still so long. He would continue to use it next time.

When his skin and flesh were cultivated to the next level, he could use rocks to experiment.

His skin and flesh were like steel. He could tear apart tigers and leopards, split mountains, and split rocks!

Luo Qingzhou did not use much strength. After practicing the Thunder Fist two more times, he slowly stopped.

He used the snow on the ground to rub on his burning body. After wiping away all the sweat and dirt on him, he put on his clothes, picked up his things, and returned to the small courtyard.

The sky was already dark.

Not long after, Xiao Die returned with dinner.

At this moment, Luo Qingzhou had already cooked beef in the kitchen and wolfed it down with dinner.

Then, he began to boil water and take a bath.

After dripping a drop of the Body Refining Potion into the bathtub, the clear water immediately changed into a faint green color.

Luo Qingzhou took off his clothes and entered the bucket. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind as he circulated his internal cultivation technique.

His skin gradually felt hot, and the muscles inside seemed to be absorbing something, twitching slightly.

When the water in the bucket was about to turn cold, he opened his eyes and realized that the light green water had suddenly turned into clear water again.

Those potions were indeed absorbed!

It was getting late.

He got up from the bucket and allowed Xiao Die to wait upon him and put on clean clothes for him.

He helped Xiao Die carry the bathtub out. After pouring away the water, he went out alone, preparing to pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin and his mother-in-law.

It had been snowing for three days and showed no signs of stopping.

The entire residence was covered in white.

Luo Qingzhou stepped on the snow all the way to First Young Miss Qin’s “Ling Chan Moon Palace”.

The courtyard door was closed.

He walked forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, Bai Ling’s clear voice came from inside. “Miss is not feeling well today,

Sir. You don’t have to come in to pay your respects.”

Luo Qingzhou paused at the door and said, “Miss Bai Ling, are you alone in the front yard?”

Bai Ling’s panicked voice immediately came from inside. “Sir, what… what are you trying to do again? Do you want to bully me again?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I’m here to apologize to you. Open the door.”

Bai Ling hurriedly said, “No need, Sir. I don’t want your apology. Just don’t bully me next time. I’m just a lowly maidservant. How would I dare to ask you to apologize?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.

After taking more than 10 steps, the courtyard door creaked open. Bai Ling appeared at the door in a pink dress and peeked at him.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and glanced at her.

She immediately retracted her head.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and left quickly.

After he walked away, Bai Ling pouted and stomped her feet. “That stupid Sir, can’t he coax me a little?”

Luo Qingzhou was drenched in the snow all the way to the backyard.

When Mei’er saw him, she immediately went in to report.

Not long after, she came out and called him in.

Luo Qingzhou followed behind her and entered the hall. Without looking sideways, he walked to his mother-in-law and bowed. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Mother-in-law.”

Song Ruyue, who was wearing a moon-white fleece jacket, sat there with a dignified expression. She looked up lazily at him and said coldly, “That’s all you’ve got to say?”

Luo Qingzhou could only say respectfully, “I wish you good health.”

“That’s it?”

Song Ruyue sneered.

Luo Qingzhou looked up at him and heard her say in her heart, “This brat, aren’t you going to praise me for being beautiful? Later, I’ll find an excuse and get him to plant flowers for me in the backyard tonight!”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou’s mouth twitched. He could only continue respectfully, “I wish you good health and eternal youth, Mother-in-law. You will always be as young, beautiful, and dazzling as you are now.”

When he said this, his face heated up.

“Hmph! What a bootlicker!”

Song Ruyue rolled her eyes, but she enjoyed his compliment very much. She decided to spare him for the time being and said coldly, “Have you gone to see Weimo?”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, “Not yet. I’ll go tomorrow.”

Song Ruyue said coldly, “Where’s Jianjia?”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I’ve just been there, but I didn’t see her.”

Song Ruyue was silent for a moment before she softened her tone and said, “Go and see her more often. If she won’t see you or talk to you, you can shamelessly pester her. Only when a man is shameless can he move a woman’s heart. Do you understand?”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head in silence.

“Go and study hard. Don’t slack off. If you dare to slack off, you’ll be punished!”

At the end of her sentence, she became stern again.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and left.

Not long after he left, Song Ruyue leaned lazily against the chair and thought for a while. Suddenly, she sat up again and frowned. She muttered to herself, “This won’t do. Jianjia is always like this. That brat will bear a grudge….. What if he secretly runs away? He’s married, but he can’t live together with his wife.

Every night, he’s served by a young maidservant who hasn’t matured…. The key is that this brat is quite talented. Other scholars go out and fool around every day and always have a different woman in their arms. They live so carefreely, but Luo Qingzhou stays at home and studies all day… How can he not bear a grudge? No, this won’t do, I have to find two more beautiful maidservants for that brat to tie him down…”

With that, she turned around and looked at Mei’er, who was standing beside her.

Mei’er immediately shivered and said with a trembling voice, “M-Madam…”

Song Ruyue rolled her eyes. “Why are you so scared? You have not yet matured. You don’t have large breasts or a large butt. In addition, you’re only average-looking, he won’t take an interest in you.”

Mei’er was at a loss for words.

Song Ruyue retracted her gaze and fell into deep thought. Whoo…

Outside, the cold wind moaned and rustled the branches.

After Luo Qingzhou returned to the back of the house, he took out the Martial Evaluation Stone and checked the various data. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that his Spiritual Power had increased significantly.

It increased from 15 to 18 all of a sudden.

The other stats did not change too much. His Strength and Resistance only increased a little.

However, his explosive power was definitely much stronger than before.

He put away the Martial Evaluation Stone and thought for a moment before taking out an agarwood incense stick that he had prepared some time back from his spatial pouch.

The book said that sandalwood incense refreshed the mind while agarwood incense calmed the mind. It also said that the smell of sandalwood incense would attract gods or divine beings, while the smell of agarwood incense would attract ghosts.

Now that he wanted to try astral projection, he naturally had to light some agarwood incense.

After closing the door and windows, he blew out the oil lamp and candle flame. After reminding Xiao Die not to come in temporarily, he lit the agarwood incense.

Then, he got into bed and sat cross-legged. He closed his eyes and focused.

A moment later, he looked into his internal organs and focused his mind. He slowly climbed up from the bottom…

The scene of climbing the mountain at dawn appeared in his mind.

Step by step, he steadily climbed up.

At first, it was easy. However, the higher he went, the heavier his footsteps became, and his Speed became slower and slower…

He felt his breathing stop. His chest felt stuffy and swollen. His chest felt like it was about to explode, but his head was still clear and he did not feel any pain.

He continued to climb up with difficulty.

Ten steps!

Twenty steps!

Fifty steps!

Suddenly, he vaguely saw the scenery at the top of the mountain. He saw the rising sun that was about to break through the clouds!

As if a breeze had blown over, the fragrance of flowers wafted into his nose.

He held his breath, gritted his teeth, and continued to advance with heavy footsteps!

Ten more steps!

Five steps!

One step!

Boom!

When his entire body was trembling and his legs were heavy, he used his last bit of strength to take the last step. Suddenly, his vision became clear!

On the horizon, the sun had just risen and clouds filled the sky!

At the top of the mountain, a cool breeze blew past his face. He could hear the sounds and scents of nature. Birds were chirping loudly. The aroma of the fresh spring air and the fragrance of flowers were everywhere.

His body, which was as heavy as a mountain, suddenly became incomparably relaxed. He seemed to have become as light as smoke as he rose higher and higher.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes!

The mountain scenery and morning sun in front of him suddenly disappeared. What appeared in his vision was pitch-black at first, but then it became extremely clear.

In the room, the incense smoke curled. There was silence in the room.

Luo Qingzhou’s eyes were still closed. He sat cross-legged on the bed and did not move.

As for “him”, he was floating on the roof, looking down with his eyes wide open.

“I’m out of my body… ”

He thought in a daze. Then, he floated forward clumsily, left, right, up, down.

Suddenly, he flew toward the wall, passed through it, and came back.

He flew toward the table, chair, and bed, easily passing through them.

However, his vision was still blocked by these things and he could not see through them.

At the same time, for some reason, the ground could not be penetrated.

He became more and more proficient, and his movements gradually became more and more practiced.

He practiced for a while longer. He walked through the wall, through the hall, and the door into the side room.

Xiao Die was sitting on the bed embroider… No, she was not embroidering.

At this moment, the little girl was sitting on the bed with her head lowered. She lifted her outer garment and tugged at her undergarment, gesturing at her chest with her hands.

She muttered to herself, “Have they grown up? Hurry up and grow up.. Otherwise, Young Master will despise you…

Luo Qingzhou did not know what to say.

He turned around and floated away.

Just as he was about to float back to his room, he suddenly saw a black shadow in the small courtyard outside through the crack in the door.

It was especially clear under the light of the snow..
