"All my cultivation base is back!" Wang Xiaoqiang took the exquisite porcelain teacup, drank it in one gulp, and said calmly.

Leng Qingqiu scanned with her Divine Sense again and couldn't help but be astonished. When Wang Xiaoqiang came in just now, there was clearly no Spiritual Energy Wave on him, clearly a person without any cultivation base,

but in just a turn of the moment, he restored his cultivation, and it was not just the True Immortal Realm or the Immortal Venerable Stage, but the Immortal Sage Realm, and he had reached the Fifth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage.

Even someone as composed as her couldn't help but show an exaggerated expression, saying suspiciously, "But... just now you clearly had no cultivation base, and now...?"

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "Maybe you were seeing things, or could it be that your Divine Sense had a problem...?"

"How could that be... Sometimes one might see things wrong, but how could the Divine Sense have problems?" Leng Qingqiu was now completely confused.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to delve into this topic, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, are you still cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness?"

"This is my path; I will naturally keep cultivating it..." Leng Qingqiu sat down beside Wang Xiaoqiang, a cold fragrance wafted over, making Wang Xiaoqiang shiver involuntarily.

Even the fragrance carried a chilling aura, indicating that her Path of Ruthlessness had further improved.

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze swept over Leng Qingqiu's graceful body, noticing that the Jade Pendant containing a wisp of Remnant Soul was missing,

and after another Divine Sense scan, he discovered that the Remnant Soul was actually in her Ruthless Sword. Even someone as knowledgeable as Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be secretly puzzled... It was said that the Remnant Soul belonged to her lover, so why was it now in her Ruthless Sword??

Although this topic was somewhat taboo, Wang Buqiang couldn't help but ask, "Qingqiu, where is your Jade Pendant?"

Leng Qingqiu's face changed, becoming very unpleasant; her delicate body trembled uncontrollably. Her eyes dodged as she asked, "Little Qiang, how did you come to the Snow Territory? And how did you find me here?"

Seeing her avoid the topic, Wang Xiaoqiang knew she didn't want to talk or couldn't speak about it, so he didn't press further and replied, "Actually, I was ordered to bring the army to slay the Demon Cultivators. I was almost surrounded by the Demon Army and wanted to find a cave to hide, but unexpectedly, I ended up here with you..."

Leng Qingqiu was momentarily enlightened and said, "Oh, I remember now, you won the championship at the Armor Snatching Tournament, and were to be conferred a marquis and appointed as a minister, so you're working for the Imperial Court?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Actually, even without the Imperial Court's commission, I would come to the Snow Territory to slay demons, because I'm not just an Imperial Court official now, I'm also an Immortal Hero, and slaying Demon Cultivators is the duty of us Immortal Heroes..."

"Oh, then I really should thank you on behalf of the people of the Snow Territory..." Leng Qingqiu sincerely said, "Actually, I have also been slaying Demon Cultivators, but the Demon Army's power is too immense for me alone to make a significant impact..."

Wang Xiaoqiang used his Divine Sense to scan again and found that Leng Qingqiu was already at the Ninefold Body of the Immortal Venerable, which is known as the Half-Step Immortal Saint. Just one more step, and she could advance to the Immortal Sage. Seeing her cultivation improved, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a burst of comfort and said, "Qingqiu, you are now at the peak stage of the Immortal Venerable. Just one more step and you can advance to the Immortal Sage..."

"Although it's only half a step, this half-step is as difficult as reaching the sky!" Leng Qingqiu sighed.

Wang Xiaoqiang thought the same; not everyone possesses a Divine Artifact like the Five Elements Spirit Spring that can transform, so not everyone can break through bottlenecks and level up as easily as he can. Even for a genius like Leng Qingqiu with dual Spirit Roots, breaking through to the Immortal Sage is no simple matter.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Qingqiu, why don't I help you. Assist you to advance to the Immortal Sage?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's beautiful eyes flickered; her gaze lingered on Wang Xiaoqiang, her eyes no longer as cold, spilling warmth, "Little Qiang, you now carry the weight of national duty, preserving your strength is extremely crucial. How can it be wasted on me?..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I expend Spiritual Power to assist you, and after you advance to the Immortal Sage, you will slay Demon Cultivators. It seems I'm helping you, but I'm actually helping myself!"

Wang Xiaoqiang's words, though somewhat perfunctory, made sense, and Leng Qingqiu couldn't refute them. Besides, she desperately wanted to break through to the Immortal Sage.

One must know that a cultivator could be stuck at a bottleneck for a lifetime without breaking through, but with the assistance of a master, it could be much faster.

After a moment of hesitation, Leng Qingqiu nodded and said, "Alright."

Seeing Leng Qingqiu agreeing, Wang Xiaoqiang was very happy.

On the ground of the stone chamber, Leng Qingqiu and Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged, one in front of the other. Wang Xiaoqiang placed his hand on Leng Qingqiu's back, ready to transfer Spiritual Energy to help her impact the Spiritual Aperture.

When Wang Xiaoqiang's hand touched her beautiful back, feeling the exquisite, soft, and resilient skin, he couldn't help but feel a thrill,

and Leng Qingqiu's delicate body couldn't help but tremble when touched by Wang Xiaoqiang.

Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, "Little Qiang, don't be nervous, relax a bit."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "You're telling me not to be nervous, but aren't you also very nervous?"

Leng Qingqiu didn't respond, secretly ashamed. She was a person who cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, her heart as firm as a rock, cold and emotionless. How could she react so nervously in front of a man?

During cultivation, one must not be distracted in the slightest; otherwise, not only would there be no progress, there would also be a danger of Qi Deviation, especially at this bottleneck stage where even a single stray thought is unacceptable. Therefore, at this moment, neither dared to start, each taking deep breaths to clear their minds.

After a while.

The two gradually collected themselves, and Wang Xiaoqiang started transferring Spiritual Power within himself to Leng Qingqiu. Leng Qingqiu, using Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Power, began the Breathing Technique, channeling the Spiritual Power to attack her Spiritual Aperture.

Leng Qingqiu felt that the Spiritual Power Wang Xiaoqiang transferred was not only pure but also remarkably abundant, flowing in like an endless stream,

With Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Power assisting, in just half a stick of incense's time, the Spiritual Aperture within Leng Qingqiu was suddenly opened.

As that Spiritual Aperture was opened, the Spiritual Energy within Leng Qingqiu's body and the Spiritual Energy transferred by Wang Xiaoqiang began to condense within her, condensing, then condensing again...

Ultimately, they condensed into a Soldier Aura within her body, and then a second Soldier Aura, followed by a third one...

Opening the Spiritual Apertures and condensing Qi into a weapon meant that Leng Qingqiu had stepped out of the Immortal Venerable Stage and advanced to the Immortal Sage,

but at this moment, her first Divine Weapon Embryo had not been fully condensed, so she had not yet reached the cultivation base of the First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. Her strength still remained at the Immortal Venerable Stage. Leng Qingqiu didn't want Wang Xiaoqiang to expend too much Spiritual Power, so she stopped her Breathing Technique and said, "Little Qiang, stop."

"Don't be distracted, continue. I'll help you condense the first Divine Weapon..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, continuing to transfer Spiritual Power to her.

Leng Qingqiu focused her mind, continued with the Breathing Technique, and began condensing the Divine Weapon Qi Embryo. Finally, after another half a stick of incense's time, that Divine Weapon Embryo within Leng Qingqiu was fully condensed. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang still hadn't stopped, Leng Qingqiu said, "Little Qiang, stop!"

Understanding the concept of completing the task, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I must help you fully form the Divine Weapon Embryo."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's determination, Leng Qingqiu did not persuade him further. She wholeheartedly concentrated on condensing the Divine Weapon, and after another incense stick's time, finally, the Divine Weapon was fully formed within her, taking the shape of a sword.

At this moment, with Wang Xiaoqiang's assistance, Leng Qingqiu had reached the cultivation base of the First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. At this time, she felt the pair of hands on her back withdraw. Turning around, she saw Wang Xiaoqiang reclined on the ground, sweating profusely, face pale, panting heavily like a stranded fish.

Seeing this, Leng Qingqiu's heart sank and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Little Qiang, are you alright??"

"Tired, I'm so tired, I feel like I can't breathe..." A bitter smile appeared on Wang Xiaoqiang's face.

"Ah, then what should we do? How about..." Leng Qingqiu said, lowering her body, leaning over Wang Xiaoqiang, then took a deep breath, puffing up her cheeks, and without hesitation, placed her red lips against Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth, blowing air...(To be continued.
