Lu Zhen looked at his skill with a satisfied expression, and his lifespan had increased considerably compared to before.

However, when he examined his progress, he frowned.

[Wood Qi: (level 2) ]

"Sigh, I've only progressed this much even after three days of continuous dual cultivation," Lu Zhen lamented with bitterness.

He could feel that his qi in his body had considerably lessened, to at least 70%. That meant that Lu Zhen could only condense his qi by 2%, while converting 30% of his qi in total which was an despairingly miserable amount to start.

"That must be why other martial artists spend so much time reaching the second stage martial realm. Well, I won't be reaching the realm anytime soon anyway," Lu Zhen muttered as he dressed himself.

"You're already leaving?" Suddenly, Lu Zhen heard the gentle voice of Xia Mei, which snapped him out of his contemplation.

"You are already awake?" Lu Zhen looked at Huang Li, who was sleeping peacefully, while the bed was stained with his essence and the two girls had fluids.

"Oh, it was tiring, but it was fun…" Xia Mei said as she licked her lips.

"I will be doing alchemy for now; don't disturb me." Lu Zhen shook his head. He had initially planned to do alchemy, but since he had been disturbed by them for three days straight, he couldn't do anything about it for now.

"Oh, I have a question for you. Why has my body strangely strengthened after I did it with you?" She asked with a confused expression.

Lu Zhen chuckled with a mysterious smile when he heard this.

Seeing this, Xia Mei huffed a little.

"Hmph, acting all mysterious." However, Xia Mei also had a smirk on her face as she called out Lu Zhen.

"Either way, I am very soon going to become a third-stage martial artist." She said this with a proud expression, puffing her chest revealing her bouncing mountain peak.

When Lu Zhen heard this, he looked at her with a strange expression on his face, ignoring the seductress' enchanting body.

"Aye, what are you looking at?"

A knowing face appeared to Lu Zhen as he nodded to himself.

Since Lu Zhen has perfectly displayed his aura as a normal martial trainee even after reaching the third stage of the martial realm, Xia Mei must have thought Lu Zhen was at most only a peak martial trainee.

Although martial artists could subtly control their aura and contain it in themselves to release it whenever they wanted, the moment one reveals their aura, almost any martial artist could tell their level.

However, Lu Zhen could manipulate his aura however he liked and manipulate the strength of his aura to display his cultivation as whatever he liked, but it was limited by his cultivation level.

For example, Lu Zhen couldn't display the aura of a second-stage martial artist, but he could disguise as a martial trainee, a mortal, or even a rock and hide himself from the senses of the martial artist even if he fully released his aura.

His aura couldn't go higher than his rank, but it could go as low as possible.

He could shape his aura as a weapons to fight against the external influence, as previously he used it to cut the thread of aura connecting to his tattoo of the butterfly, and he could basically neglect higher-level aura by using his aura as a weapon.

Although he would still get destroyed if the gap between Lu Zhen and the other person was too large, even if Lu Zhen could condense an aura weapon to resist external aura.

"So, you really thought I was only a martial trainee, huh?" Lu Zhen shook his head, a smirk appearing on his face.

"Then wh—?" Xia Mei's eyes widened when she felt Lu Zhen's aura change as he released it again.

"How... how could...?" She felt her worldview collapse.

According to her understanding, even first-stage martial artists couldn't change their aura once released.

While they could perfectly hide it to appear as ordinary mortals, the moment they released their aura, any martial artist could discern their true level.

"Did you think you could surpass your man? I didn't lie to you when I said that I will reach the first stage of a martial artist soon," Lu Zhen said with a smirk as he walked out, leaving behind the cute, puffed-up face of Xia Mei and Huang Li.

However, when Lu Zhen came out of his room, he was a little stunned to find Little Lily sleeping peacefully in the doorway, with her crotch area already wet.

"This little girl," Lu Zhen muttered with a bitter expression as he carried Little Lily in his big, strong arms and took her to her room.

"Hmm, this looks pretty simple." When Lu Zhen entered her room, he was quite surprised to find that it lacked any girlish decor.

The room contained only a single bed, a table with some stools, a small mirror, and a large painting of Lu Zhen. Aside from these items, there was minimal furnishings in the room.

Lu Zhen gently let the girl sleep in her bed and then decided to explore the room, feeling a bit curious.

"This girl..." Lu Zhen was somewhat speechless when he saw the large painting of himself from when he was skinny hanging high on the wall.

In the portrait, he looked malnourished and pale, as if he had been sick for decades.

"I have improved a lot since then, huh..." Lu Zhen's attention was suddenly drawn to an open book on the table.
