The two women quickly asked.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, immediately saw his current situation.

To put it simply, he ate too much; the energy in the demon beast meat was too strong for him to digest.

He then placed a palm on his back, and a stream of spiritual power entered his body, instantly helping him resolve the surging energy within.

"Huff—"

Xiaoqi panted lightly, "Aunt Xian, this meat is a bit too intense."

"Uh—"

"It’s Aunt Xian’s fault, I thought you could digest the late-stage immortal grade demon beast, but it seems it was still too much."

Xian Si patted his head and said apologetically.

"It’s not your fault. Eating such a big piece of meat all at once, swallowing it whole, of course, he couldn’t handle the demon beast’s energy."

This scene reminded him of Zhu Bajie eating the Ginseng Fruit.

"You should eat slowly, take your time, don’t rush."

Xian Si said with a smile.

"I know, it was just so delicious, I couldn’t help swallowing it whole."

Xiaoqi stuck out his tongue, a bit embarrassed.

After the earlier lesson, he dared not eat like that again, eating small bites and immediately using the Nine Elements Dao Skill to refine the demon beast’s energy with each bite.

"Let’s eat too!"

Chen Xuan said, then also picked up the meat Xiaoqi was eating and started eating.

"Boom!"

As soon as it entered his mouth, a burst of energy exploded in his mouth, then entered his body.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan raised his brows.

"What’s wrong?"

Xian Si immediately asked when she saw his expression.

"This demon beast is almost at the Profound Realm; it’s strong indeed. No wonder Xiaoqi suffered just now."

"Ah—"

Xian Si was shocked, "I didn’t look closely, I’m sorry."

She immediately apologized to Chen Xuan, feeling guilty inside.

After all, Xiaoqi is the eldest young master of Prince Xuan’s Mansion; if something went wrong, she really couldn’t explain it.

"Why apologize? I was just saying it casually!"

"Besides, the kid isn’t that fragile."

Chen Xuan laughed.

"Exactly, Dad is right, Xiaoqi is very strong, Aunt Xian, no need to blame yourself. It tasted so good; Xiaoqi will definitely finish it all."

"You, really gave Aunt Xian a scare just now."

With that, Xian Si couldn’t help but hug him, still feeling a bit shaken from earlier.

A little episode.

Afterwards, the four ate happily, with the focus mainly on Xiaoqi for the two women.

They served him food, especially Xian Si, perhaps out of guilt, personally feeding him soup.

Watching this scene, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly.

After the meal!

The four left the Five Flavors Tower, taking advantage of the night to stroll around Moran City.

Of course, the happiest was Xiaoqi.

Holding Xian Si’s hand, he walked at the front.

"Today, Xiaoqi is the happiest."

Gu Pengyou and Chen Xuan walked side by side, looking at the big and small figures ahead, happy smiles on their faces.

Especially Xiaoqi... his eyes filled with him.

"Kids are naturally lively and love to play."

Even though he was over 1.2 meters tall, appearing quite mature, his mind was far beyond his peers, he was still not even three years old, yet in the past, he hadn’t even started kindergarten.

"Hmm!"

"If it weren’t for the Land of Burial, he would be even happier."

Due to the Land of Burial, and it being the last time it would open, Chen Xuan was especially strict with his requirements.

She understood, but... it was heart-wrenching.

"Endure some hardship now, and there will be less to endure in the future. I can’t always protect him, can I?"

"Moreover, in the future, he’ll have to protect his siblings as well; it’s expected."

Chen Xuan said slowly.

Though it was a bit harsh, to prepare him for the future, it was necessary.

"I understand, it’s just a remark."

Gu Pengyou smiled gently.

Actually, the one under the most pressure was Chen Xuan, always feeling like he had something on his mind.

He had been diligently cultivating all this time, now a Dao Realm fourth level expert, never relaxing.

Geniuses, prodigies, even if she hadn’t met them, she had heard of.

Very few were as formidable as him.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Xuan noticed her slight daze and asked.

"Nothing!"

Gu Pengyou shook her head, "I’ll go play with them."

Then she ran towards Xiaoqi and the others.

"Sigh!"

Chen Xuan sighed silently in his heart.

Not surprising, his pillow-side person, even if he never spoke of it, had guessed some things.

"Just wait a bit longer!"

Except for Ning Xin, nobody knew of his situation; it’s not that he wouldn’t say, but some things are better left unknown.

...

Following this.

Aside from occasionally guiding Xiaoqi, Chen Xuan spent all his time in cultivation.

On this day, he had just finished cultivating.

"Huff—"

He exhaled deeply.

Then, with a thought.

...

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Fourth Level), Spirit Cultivator: Xuan Rank (Late Stage)]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Sixteenth Layer [87 million/3.6 billion]), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Sixteenth Layer [42 million/520 million])]

[Skill Points: 840 million]

...

Chen Xuan examined the panel, lost in thought.

The skill points needed for the Nine Elements Dao Skill were now immense, and his spirit cultivation was too poor, only being at the late-stage Xuan Rank.

Now the skill points were enough to upgrade the Myriad Manifestation Skill.

During this period, he contemplated whether to raise his spirit cultivation to Dao Rank first.

Even though Xuan Rank and Dao Rank differ by only a word, the gap between them is as vast as heaven and earth.

"Upgrade!"

After a long time, Chen Xuan made up his mind.

Considering there were about seven years left until the Land of Burial, skill points shouldn’t be lacking; holding onto them serves no purpose, enhancing spirit cultivation seems more practical.

But just as he was about to upgrade the Myriad Manifestation Skill, Tang Gu’s voice echoed in his ears.

"Come to the main hall, I’ve just cracked the array on the first level."

"Damn it!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Chen Xuan muttered, good timing, right as he was about to upgrade!

"Oh well, go take a look first, it can wait!"
