"Yeah." Ling Yun nodded in agreement with Yu Die and pulled the tablet back, and Xiao Xi was instantly relieved from its pressure. "However, I feel that my current speed is already at its maximum, so I must find another way to increase it, or else I will never be able to exceed the speed of strong cultivators like Tang Chen."
Yu Die nodded in agreement with him, especially since she had also witnessed Ling Yun training before, and the Chao Dragon Broadsword's weight no longer mattered to him.
After thinking for some time, Yu Die conveyed her idea to Ling Yun. "What if you go to the Tian Clan? They are the best blacksmith clan in the upper realms, so I think you can buy some heavy equipment from them, and you can use them to train, which will make your speed even faster."
"I think that's the best idea for now." Ling Yun answered with a nod of agreement, especially since he had checked all the equipment in his shop, and none of them weighed more than the Chaos Dragon Broadsword. "In that case, I can only wait for Zhou Yu to return first, and I will ask him to take me to the Tian Clan later."
After they talked about some other things, the women immediately returned to their respective places, and Ling Yun himself decided to start stabilizing his oddities, especially since he couldn't wait to unlock the sixth seal, but he could only do that after he reached the Upper King Realm.

The following day, Ling Yun opened his eyes and let out a soft breath, but a new notification immediately appeared in his mind.
[Ding]
[Daily Quest: Killing Two Hundred and Fifty Beasts in the King Realm and Above]
[Time Limit: Two Days]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack x5]
Ling Yun only shook his head after he read the notification and wondered to himself. "How many actual daily quests are there?"
"Haha." Ling Xi, who was floating above him, laughed when she heard that. "Honestly, there are ten daily quests in each cultivation realm, and the number of beasts you have to kill will continue to increase."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "So if I have completed ten daily quests in the King Realm, then another daily quest won't appear before I break through to the Emperor Realm, right?"
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to him. "However, you will get different daily quests after you break through to the Emperor Realm, and the challenges will be more difficult, but the rewards will be better."
"I know." Ling Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned in a certain direction, and a void gate opened before their eyes before a flying artifact shot out from within it. "Oh? That flying artifact is much better than my Icarus."
"That's true." Ling Xi then said to him. "If I'm not mistaken, that flying artifact was made by cultivators in the Tianyang Realm, and its grade is Divine Grade, so it's better than your Icarus."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded to her as he looked at the two women who had descended from the flying artifact, and he immediately asked Zhou Yu. "Is she the alchemist?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu then floated towards the two. "I didn't expect that Qiyue had such a flying artifact, and its speed was really fast, so we could arrive here two days earlier."
Ling Xi shook her head. "If only you used a flying artifact, you could also travel faster, you know?"
"Hehe." Zhou Yu chuckled at that. "After all, I am the spirit of void, and I am used to using my own abilities, so I am not interested in using a flying artifact. Anyway, you guys have to prepare from now on; I heard that the Spirit Emperor will come out of his seclusion in a week."
"I know." Ling Xi simply nodded at her.
On the other hand, Ling Yun clenched his fists tightly and muttered in his heart. 'Sigh, I have to really focus on preparing myself, or else I won't be able to face them, and we'll have to continue hiding inside subspace.'
Knowing his thoughts, Ling Xi turned to Ling Yun and said to him. "Don't worry, we will definitely get through everything well."
Meanwhile, Qu Qiyue continued to pay attention to Ling Yun and Ling Xi, but her expression showed that she was truly shocked after she couldn't detect his cultivation. 'Is it true that he and his woman came from the lower realms? Then how could he hide his cultivation from me? Could it be that woman who was covering up his cultivation? But how could she do that?'
"You're right; I was the one who covered up my husband's cultivation." Ling Xi said to her with a relaxed smile.
However, her words made Qu Qiyue even more shocked, and she curiously asked Ling Xi. "Are you a spirit woman too?"
"Yes, my name is Ling Xi, the spirit of lust."
Qu Qiyue's jaw dropped after she heard that, but she immediately asked them. "So where is the woman who wants to learn alchemy from me?"
Without saying anything, Ling Xi disappeared from their sights, but she immediately returned with Feng Ruxue and Su Fei not long after, and she immediately informed Qu Qiyue. "At first, I just want you to teach Ruxue, but Su Fei is her daughter, and she is also very interested in alchemy, so I hope you can teach her too."
"I see." Qu Qiyue nodded as she watched the mother and daughter, and her expression turned excited after sensing Feng Ruxue's fire qi. "You're not a human but a beast, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have such strong and pure fire qi."
"Yes, Senior." Feng Ruxue replied with a nod. "However, I can't tell you about my beast form, or it would put us in danger if the strong cultivators in this realm found out about it."
Qu Qiyue nodded in understanding. "Hehe, I'm not a fool, and I know for sure that there are only two beasts that have such a pure fire qi in this universe. Even so, the vermilion bird fire qi is slightly inferior to the other one, so I'm sure that you are a phoenix."
Feng Ruxue was speechless after hearing that, and Ling Xi laughed before saying. "Hahaha! You are indeed an extraordinary alchemist, and you are right that Ruxue is a pureblood phoenix."
"Haha." Qu Qiyue laughed softly after learning the truth, and she spoke to Ling Yun. "Boya! Your luck is truly extraordinary! Not only do you have two spirit women beside you, but you also have a pureblood phoenix and a half-breed phoenix as your wives."
"Hey! I'm a spirit woman too!" Lei Lin said as she appeared beside Ling Yun.
"Oh?" Qu Qiyue turned to Lei Lin in surprise. "That means you are the spirit of lightning, right? Even though I am an alchemist, I am quite familiar with other basic elements, so I can recognize the lightning qi in your body."
"That's right." Lei Lin nodded to her. "I am the spirit of lightning, and I am one of his lovers."
"Marvelous!" Qu Qiyue exclaimed after she heard that. "If other male cultivators knew about you, they would definitely be very jealous of you, Boya."
Ling Yun's lips twitched at hearing Qu Qiyue keep calling him that. 'Hey, System! Scan her!'
Name: Qu Qiyue
Age: 400,000+
Race: Human
Cultivation: Lower Saint God Realm
Veins: Fire Spiritual Veins
Physique: Human Physique
Body Technique: Heavenly Flame Tempering Technique
Element: Fire (Peak Rank)
Technique: Secret Alchemy Technique
'Oh?' Ling Yun was truly surprised after he read Qu Qiyue's status. 'Tch! Despite her younger appearance, she's an old hag!'
Black lines appeared on Ling Xi's forehead after hearing that, and she asked him. 'Hey, if she's an old hag, then what am I?'
'Haha!' Ling Yun laughed at that. 'What else? You're my wife, right?'
'Humph!' Ling Xi snorted at his response and asked him again. 'Aren't you interested in becoming an alchemist? If you learn her alchemy technique, I think you can become an excellent alchemist.'
'I was never interested in alchemy, so I don't want to be an alchemist.' Ling Yun then said to Qu Qiyue. "Senior, I hope you are willing to teach my two wives to become excellent alchemists."
"Sure." Qu Qiyue answered without hesitation. "Even if you don't give those pills to me, I will still teach them all my knowledge about alchemy, and I believe they will be able to surpass me in the future, especially Feng Ruxue."
Feng Ruxue and Su Fei were overjoyed after hearing that, and they immediately cupped their hands at her. "Master."
"No!" Qu Qiyue shook her head at them. "I don't like it when my disciples call me master, and you two can call me Big Sister."
"Yes, Big Sis!"
Qu Qiyue smiled with satisfaction and spoke to them. "Take me to your alchemy room, and I want to see you two concoct pills first, so I can determine the right method to teach you two."
"Yes!"
After the three of them disappeared, Ling Yun asked Zhou Yu. "Have you sold those beauty returning pills?"
"Not yet." Zhou Yu answered by shaking her head. "Those girls were still in seclusion before, so I couldn't meet them. I'll go look for them now, and they've probably already come out."
"I will go with you, but I want to go to Xinxi Tower first before we go to the Tian Clan."
