Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 503 Different Game

Luo Mingyu woke up from a light blissful sleep, and feeling the warmth of his embrace her face that expressed a brief worry that it was all a dream eased into a smile.

They did not speak a word and yet there was a complete understanding and harmony between them, his arm wrapped around her with his hand on her shoulder lightly caressing it as she leaned her head on his chest, listening to the sound of his beating heart.

After a while of relishing in each other's embrace, they cleaned up and clothed up as he helped her put on her jewelry.

He then wore the bulky Spatial Ring that he took off as they were kissing in the very beginning, causing her to look at it with curiosity.

"Haha, this is a souvenier. I'll tell everyone together"

He chuckled, and she nodded, also eager to see her friends and Dao Sisters after so long.

They came out of the room right as Shen Min came up to it, all three lightly laughing after they stood for a few moments looking at each other in silence.

"Is it time for dinner already?"

"No, there is still a bit of time before that. But Sister Ling wanted to know if you were going to be late so she sent me to check up on you two"

Shen Min lightly chuckled, and he nodded, all three moving toward the main building to meet up with the others.

They then greeted both the guests already present in the mansion, and then introduced the two newcomers, wry smiles appearing all around at the sight of the beautiful young ladies.

Song Lingfei did not wear her veil or hide her appearance as this place had no outsiders, all of the people in the mansion being trusted people or subordinates of Wu Long.

Gong Cui was present at the meeting, but was more reserved and withdrawn than usual, which was noticed by everyone who knew her, though an occasional laugh escaped her lips when talking with Wu Mengqi.

Luo Mingyu who heard of what happened from Hua Ziyan and Shen Min right before they went to meet the others revealed a glint in her eyes as she looked at the lady, a certain determination appearing deep within them.

Yu Huan's appearance surprised everyone.

They did not see her much during the time Wu Long was away, since she was absorbed in training her subordinates and cultivating her Dao of Alchemy.

However what surprised the ladies was that she looked much more feminine, her beauty seemingly blooming.

While she was by no means ordinary looking before, there was something missing, something which was now undeniably present and made her not lose out to any of the beauties present.

Her choice of clothing was also different, as unlike something concealing her figure like usual she appeared in an elegant dress which accentuated it.

Though she shyly covered it with a shawl at first.

But with Bi Rui's 'treacherous' move that stole the shawl, her figure was completely revealed, causing her to spend the rest of the evening with rosy cheeks.

Wei Lan did not joke around when she said she was going all out as the dinner was varied and lavish.

There was no end to the praise that showered her both from her own Dao Family and the guests as they enjoyed the delicious meal.

But it did not escape the eyes of those observant that her eyes revealed a different glint when she saw his delighted expression after tasting her cooking and heard his praise.

After the dinner, Wu Long's Dao Family gathered in private to hear out how the trip went, as well exchange any notable information.

Their ears pricked up when Hua Ziyan mentioned a certain red-eyed lady who called him "Darling" as he wryly smiled as he narrated every interaction with Hong Ye, mentioning Hong Yue as well.

Hearing about his fight with the alchemist, Ye Ling shook her head with a sigh as she could not help but worry. The others also were surprised to hear he got an injury, as this was the first time in a long for some, and the first time ever for most of them.

"There might be a scenario in which you will face a Seven Profound Realms cultivator in the fight that is going to come, so you have to remember one detail which would be a difference between life and death.

The reason Wu Long had so much difficulty fighting one even despite all of his strengths, is because what practitioners in the Seven Profound Realms use is not strictly speaking Spiritual Qi"

As he saw those expressions, he turned to Ye Ling who nodded and spoke up, causing surprise and puzzlement to appear on the faces of the beauties around.

"Not Spiritual Qi? Are they using something completely different to cultivate and fight?"

"Ling'er said not strictly speaking because technically it is still Spiritual Qi, but it is enhanced by the combined Qi of their Seven Roots.

We commonly call that Reinforced Qi"

Wu Long explained as the eyes of the beauties widened.

"The reason cultivators awaken their bloodline powers, their elemental attributes, and other unique traits in the Seven Profound Realms is because Seven Profound Realms focus on cultivating the Seven Roots.

Essence Awakening Realm, the first Major Realm is called that exactly because the Essence hidden in all of the Seven Roots is awakened, though the main focus of that realm is the Root of Longevity which explains the rapid jump in longevity"

Ye Ling added to the explanation.

"So... how powerful is Reinforced Qi exactly compared to normal Spiritual Qi we use?"

Hua Ziyan asked, gulping as the way that alchemist who did not seem like a skilled fighter warded off Wu Long's powerful moves with a seemingly flimsy shield of fire flashed before her eyes.

"It depends, but for even the weakest estimation, you can consider it a 1000 to 1. Meaning that to block an attack or breach a defense of Reinforced Qi you have to use a thousandfold amount of Spiritual Qi.

Though that is a very rough estimation that does not take into account the types of techniques both use, their skill in Spiritual Qi manipulation and so on"

Wu Long shrugged his shoulders as the ladies around gasped, goosebumps appearing all over them.

"Mm, this is why even someone on Mortal Transcendence Realm is at a severe disadvantage against someone in the Essence Awakening Realm or higher. There is just no comparison in basic measure of strength for the two"

Ye Ling nodded, supplementing his words to the slightly pale ladies around.

Generally, the main difference between cultivators in the Nine Mortal Realms past the Qi Manifestation Realm was quantity of Spiritual Qi. And though there was difference in quality as well, in general public it was rare.

People with an incredibly high-quality Spiritual Qi like Wu Long and his women were considered an exception rather than the norm, with him being a complete anomaly in that sense.

But, as they learned, the qualitative difference between Spiritual Qi and Reinforced Qi was a completely different game altogether.
