41 Chapter 41: Three Months Later! Peak Qi Gathering Realm!!
Three Months Later…
In one of the rooms of the Long family an old man was going through many documents. He flipped through them and stamped them as he was done with them. There was an air of authority and wisdom around him. His eyes filled with seriousness and sharpness scanned through each word on the pages with carefulness, not letting any details slip by his sight.
With each breath the man took, the air around him vibrated a little. He was so engrossed in his works that he did not notice the passage of time.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door causing him to halt his actions and turn to look at the door.
"Who is it?"
His authoritative voice sounded in the room, one could feel the vigor in him just from the weight of his voice.
"Master Chen, it's me. The head butler." A voice came from the other side of the door. The voice carried a subordinate tone.
"Enter!"
Hearing the voice, Long Chen gave permission to enter the room. Dressed in his work dress, the head butler came in front of the old man and bowed in respect.
"What did you come here for?"
The old man waved his hand in a submissive manner, asking him to get to the point.
"Master, as you instructed me, I have been keeping an eye on Xin Yan's courtyard for the past three months. I came to report that." The butler spoke with enthusiasm and waited for the old man to speak.
Nodding, the old man asked him to continue.
"Master, in these three months no one came to the courtyard nor did anyone leave the courtyard. Both mother and son have been inside the area for the whole three months" he continued in a gossiping tone. "Long Tian was seen outside his room today and it seems he has recovered completely."
Long Chen nodded in understanding while he stroked his long beard. There was a glint of fierceness in his eyes. He turned to look at the butler and ordered.
"You can leave now, no need to keep an eye on them any longer." The butler nodded and got up with a deflated look on his face. Just before he reached the door to leave the room, the voice of the old man sounded again causing his steps to halt.
"Wait!"
"You can take a qi gathering pill from the storage, tell them I sent you."
Hearing the words of the old man, he knelt down in gratitude and offered his thanks.
"Thank you for your benevolent support, Clan head."
The old man just shook his hand signaling him to get out. The butler complied and left the room in a hurried pace. The grin on his face caused the people in the hallway ro see his rotten yellow teeth.

Somewhere in one of the courtyards of the Long family, two figures could be seen clashing with each other using swords.
One of the two people was a boy adorned in a training outfit and his long hair tied in a ponytail. He looked at the figure of the woman fighting against him with his sharp eyes that seemed to hold a whole lot of wisdom inside of them. Everything about her seemed to scream immortal fairy.
The woman in front of him had an unique charm to her, the subtle hint of maturity along with her voluptuous body could make any sane man enchanted with just a single look. In short She was the dream of every man..
A Milf!
He was stumped thinking how that ungrateful bastard even managed to court the woman in front of her.
After going through the seals Xin Yan's figure changed a lot because she also tempered her body.
Her curves became more defined and the excess fat on her body went away along with her impurities.
Her skin which was already jade like was now like a premium quality jade. Her features got more defined and her assets became more plump.
Her previous E-cup breasts have now become F-Cup. Which caused her robes to spread apart and reveal some of her cleavage. Her natural seduction was off the charts.
Noah who was fighting against her was having two battles at the same time.
One against Xin Yan and the other in his mind where he should look. Those juggling buns in front of his eyes were demanding his attention as they swayed left and right, up and down.
Even though he is not a guy who chases after skirts, it was different when it was a woman he liked. He had to use all of his past nerdy self to tear his eyes away from the grand view in front of him.
Xin Yan, oblivious to his peril, continued to strike with full force while thinking.
'Incredible! to think he could handle me using the power of a normal peak first stage without any difficulty. Just from this I can think how powerful his technique is. His reserve of qi itself is way bigger than what normal cultivators of his stage have.'
Even though she was thinking she had her focus on the battle as well. Noah was not looking for a fight, he was just polishing his sword technique against her.
In these three months. He and Xin Yan had been cultivating with full efforts. They only relaxed at the time when mortals eat.
During that time they would sit in the garden and talk about each other and discuss the things they were ready to tell each other. Xin Yan reached the peak of her realm and also completed the body cultivation of the first Phase.
She decided not to breakthrough because of the fear of having a mental demon. The other reason was also obvious, which was that her Realm tribulation might even destroy this city.
Noah on the other hand reached the peak of the Qi gathering realm, his qi reserves were filled to the brim with six different types of Qi inside of them. He was keeping his body cultivation to the similar stage as that of his qi cultivation.
Noah was ready to breakthrough anytime, he was just waiting to leave the city and start his tribulation. Yes tribulation before even advancing to the second phase… Noah found out his technique was Quite peculiar and special.
(A/N: I will explain more about this thing by the time he breaks through the next realm or it will be just an info dump.)
After completing his cultivation Noah decided to learn some techniques associated with different natures of elements and then he realized he could use his spell knowledge from the previous world to convert them into a technique.
So skipping them he started learning sword techniques. Noah charged at Xin Yan and performed the technique once again. With each time he would perform this technique his mind repeated what he was doing.
'Feel the strike, be the strike, use my intent on the sword. The reason for what I am slashing. Reason huh?' While he was thinking, his mind entered a trance-like state and he started remembering all of his memories from the time he was a kid along with the moments from Long Tian's memories from his childhood. He saw him reading novels and Manhua as an escape from the cruel world.
While Noah was in his trance state Xin Yan noticed it and her eyes widened.
'He is having an epiphany!!!' 17:17
She increased the number of her strikes, she was trying to strike the iron while it's still hot.
Noah saw different stories of different cultivators and a single thought flashed through his mind.
' What is the reason behind my strike? Am I just a mindless idiot who is just striking for the sake of it?'
The answer came instantly to him.
'No'
Another question came to his mind which made him remember all the bad things he had done in his life. All the weight he was carrying.
'Am I Just a bloodthirsty demon who just wants to see the blood spilled?'
He started thinking and the answer came to him once more.
'No! I may have been cruel and calculative on my path but that was because of the circumstances and I will never spill blood without any cause.'
He felt his mind getting clearer and clearer with each question. It was as if something was just a few inches away from his grasp and he was getting closer to it. Then one more question came to his mind.
'Am I a hero who wants to save everyone?'
'Never! I do not care if they live or die, i Just want my people to live.'
Figures of his past flashed through his mind and they looked at him with love and care.
He knew he would do anything for them.
'What is the reason for me to slash the sword then??'
His thoughts came to a halt and he even stopped fighting, causing Xin Yan to stop as well. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
