I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 621: Shen Ying’s Breakthrough

"You actually know the Thunder Technique?"

In Taohua Village, Yan Hongxia's voice was filled with incredulity.

Beside her, Ao Qi had a somewhat sheepish expression, her eyes showing a mixture of shame, helplessness, surprise, and a deep admiration.

The move she just used was her strongest combat power aside from revealing her Cyan Dragon form, yet she still narrowly lost. Moreover, Lu Zheng still seemed to have reserves of strength, and seeing the difference between their Dharma Artifacts, Ao Qi felt it was embarrassing to continue the competition.

Wang Xiaowan hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Lu is extraordinarily talented. His use of the Thunder Technique already has a great impact."

Yan Hongxia and Ao Qi agreed that Lu Zheng's Qingwei Thunder Technique, driven by the techniques of the White Cloud Temple and the Jinhua Sect, was no less than those of the Daoists at Qingwei Palace.

This was Ao Qi's result from the battle.

"Luck is on my side; perhaps it just happens to suit my cultivation," Lu Zheng modestly replied.

Everyone: "..."

"Ahem!" Daoist Mingzhang couldn't help but cough lightly, turning to Yuan Jing, finding something to say, "See that? Learn from it."

Yuan Jing: ???

Learn what? Learn to act cool? With my strength insufficient, I can't learn that!

...

In the afternoon, Daoist Mingzhang was present as well. Xiaocui and the Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden served tea, and Lu Zheng, Ao Qi, Yan Hongxia, and Daoist Mingzhang discussed and commented on the recent exchanges.

Though Daoist Mingzhang couldn't match the three of them anymore, his decades of cultivation, insight, and experience with the Cloud Technique were still valuable, and he pointed out a few critical insights.

Lu Zheng and the others mainly discussed potential weaknesses in each other's combat styles. When excited, they would reveal a little and test each other further.

For a moment, Sword Qi soared in the hall of Taohua Village, dragon roars echoed, and an aura of cloud, rain, wind, and thunder permeated.

This session not only involved discussing combat and techniques but also the differences in Essence, Qi, and Spirit cultivation across the regions.

Thus, this theoretical and practical discussion greatly benefited the other women with insufficient cultivation, especially Shen Ying, who was at a breakthrough point. The incense and candle Qi drifted around her conspicuously.

Everyone turned to see Shen Ying take a deep breath, her eyes flashing with divine light.

The next moment, the incense and candle Qi around her abruptly entered her body, followed by a pink glow emanating from within her and a True Spirit Divine Light shooting skyward.

Simultaneously, though Shen Ying remained seated, her radiant beauty blossomed, her peach blossom eyes bright as autumn waters, red lips moist, and the patterns on her pink peach blossom gauze dress flickered with brilliance, making her appear like an immortal.

In their eyes, Shen Ying was still herself, yet it felt like she had transformed.

Reborn, as if anew.

"This..."

"It was a lucky breakthrough, sorry for the interruption." Shen Ying stood, bowing gracefully.

"No need, no need!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"That's great!"

"Sister Shen, you're amazing!"

The women came forward to congratulate her, and Shen Ying, in high spirits, naturally accepted with a smile.

Lu Zheng stood not far away, exchanging a glance with Shen Ying, communicating silently, understanding each other's thoughts.

Shen Ying: Lu Lang, from now on, I can travel with you, standing by your side, so you won't face threats alone!

Lu Zheng: I'll come find you tonight!

Beside Shen Ying, feeling the surging magical power within her, Liu Qingyan felt a slight pang of jealousy. She also resolved to focus on her cultivation.

Before meeting Lu Zheng, her gap with Shen Ying was not very wide.

Though Lu Zheng helped Shen Ying secure the Peach Blossom Immortal's divine position, ensuring no lack of incense and candle Qi, Liu Qingyan also earned countless Merit Golden Light from the flood issue, surpassing Shen Ying in terms of inheritance.

So...

Feeling her own foundation and the improvement of her body by the Merit Golden Light, Liu Qingyan silently set a small goal for herself.

...

After a moment of hubbub, the congratulations gradually quieted. Lu Zheng clapped his hands and loudly announced, "Today is a joyous occasion; feast tonight!"

"Hooray!"

The most excited were, of course, the two young girls. Ao Qian jumped over energetically, asking with excitement, "Are we making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall again?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Sure!"

"Hooray!!!"

...

Daoist Mingzhang rarely stayed at Taohua Village for an afternoon, as the conversations and discussions benefited him greatly.

Lu Zheng went to the kitchen, having traversed the modern world to procure numerous ingredients, and began cooking. By the late hour of Xi, the feast was finally ready.

"Wow, Sister Shen, I'm benefiting again this time!" Yan Hongxia continued to heartily enjoy the meal.

Shen Ying, sitting beside Lu Zheng, smilingly placed a dish for him, "Lu Lang, have some food!"

Lu Zheng nodded, finishing off a sizable abalone in one bite.

Liu Qingyan looked at Shen Ying, then back at Lu Zheng, her face flushing red.

"Eh?" Ao Qi lifted her head, sniffing and asking, "Where's the aroma coming from?"

"It should be the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The timing is perfect, and the aroma is rich," Liu Qingyan quickly offered Ao Qi a shrimp.

Ao Qi nodded, her eyes gleaming, and she bit off the shrimp's head.

On the other side, Daoist Mingzhang smacked his lips, "This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... only in Great Jing. If it were in the Western Buddha Country, a gang of monks might storm in... The person who named this dish is quite daring."

Daoist Mingzhang spoke, while helping himself to a chicken wing.

"The taste is quite good! A talented individual!"

...

The dinner, full of joy for both guests and host.

Daoist Mingzhang, along with Yuan Jing, bid farewell to the crowd and rode the clouds, flying directly northeast.

Hua Yixing, Bi Xinyu, and others knew that Shen Ying had just broken through and needed to meditate and stabilize, so they also took their leave, but agreed to the next ten-day break for an outing and flower viewing.

As the hostess, Shen Ying saw the group out of Taohua Village for ten miles before giving Lu Zheng a charming glance, then stood in the pavilion by the roadside, waving to the women as a farewell.

On the way back, Ao Qi was still fine, but Yan Hongxia kept chattering nonstop.

"Brother Lu?"

"Huh?"

"Tomorrow morning, we'll continue!"

"Continue with what?"

"Continue sparring!" Yan Hongxia said brightly, "You know so many techniques, from Qi Refining to Refining Spirit, and you even know Cloud, Rain, Wind, Thunder techniques, Flying Sword Skill—you're practically made for sparring and competition!"

Lu Zheng: ⚆_⚆?

"No, no, no, you're perfect for being a sparring partner!" Yan Hongxia said.

Lu Zheng, "..."

Not much of a difference!

...

At night, Lu Zheng pondered whether to disturb Shen Ying's cultivation.

He initially intended not to go, given that Shen Ying had just broken through today.

But by the late hour of Xi, the peach wood token at his waist started swaying, persistently summoning him.

What else could Lu Zheng do? Reluctantly, he went over.

...

"Lu Lang~ I still want more~"

"Hehe, Lu Lang, I still have a jar of Red Centipede Spirit Spleen Wine here... oh!"

It must be said, Shen Ying's combat power doubled after the breakthrough, and the commotion within Taohua Village persisted almost until the early hours of the morning, welcoming the dawn. As a result, Yan Hongxia's plan for a sparring session had to be postponed...
