Invincible Dad-Chapter 731 Perfect Golden Core_1

...

Xu Lai was speechless.

Qi Condensation is about storing Spiritual Energy in the body. To advance further, one must consolidate it. It's like how ordinary people build a house; they must first lay a foundation. That foundation is Foundation Establishment. It's only normal for the Spiritual Energy in the body to disappear. You can't build a house and then discover dozens of bags of cement and steel bars you forgot to use, can you? That would be a huge problem. It's just that my wife's cultivation speed is truly astonishing.

Xu Lai looked up, his expression complex as he gazed at Ruan Tang.

The crescent moon hung in the sky. The sea breeze swept in, rustling Ruan Tang's hair and nightgown. Bathed in the bright moonlight, she looked like a fairy descended to the mortal world. For a moment, Xu Lai was completely entranced.

Ruan Tang raised an eyebrow. "Xu Lai?"

There was no response.

Ruan Tang tried summoning a ball of Spiritual Energy, forming it into an adorable little fist that she used to punch Xu Lai's shoulder lightly.

POP.

The force was very light. As it gradually brought Xu Lai back to his senses, it also left him stunned once more.

My wife's proficiency in controlling Spiritual Energy was leagues beyond Yiyi and my juvenile sister-in-law. And you have to remember, Ruan Tang had only been cultivating for less than half an hour!

"What are you thinking about?" Ruan Tang chided. "Come up here and give me some guidance. Something seems to have gone wrong with my cultivation."

"There's nothing wrong with your cultivation. The world is what's wrong," Xu Lai couldn't help but wonder aloud. "Honey, are you… the reincarnation of some Empress?"

"Speak human language."

"Your talent for cultivation is incredible. You've already reached Foundation Establishment."

"I've reached Foundation Establishment already?" Ruan Tang was taken aback, then remarked casually, "Cultivation isn't so hard after all."

...

If anyone else had said that, Xu Lai would have sent them flying with a single slap.

There are countless cultivators in the Immortal Domain, yet less than half of them successfully break through Qi Condensation to achieve Foundation Establishment, let alone do it in a mere half-hour. But hearing those words from someone with Ruan Tang's talent, Xu Lai was left speechless.

As the old saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. But some people are just born in Rome. This world has never been truly fair. It has been this way since ancient times.

"Time for bed." Ruan Tang's eyes danced. "Are you coming back to the room?"

Of course, he was!

Xu Lai hurried back into the room. By then, Ruan Tang was already lying in bed. Xu Lai lifted the quilt, slid in beside her, and wrapped his arms around her soft, fragrant body, sighing with emotion. "A Gentle Homeland is better than liquor."

"Xu Lai, I can't seem to fall asleep. Let's talk for a while," she said.

"Sure, about what?"

"What realms did your ex-girlfriends reach?"

"It's getting late, dear. You should sleep."

...

The night was as cool as water. Time flowed by silently.

One day, then ten days passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October. Throughout this period, Ruan Lan had actually stayed at her school, refusing to return to Haitang Court, which made Xu Lai ecstatic. With no third wheel around, his time alone with Ruan Tang was wonderful. They took walks together, drank tea together, and lay in the backyard watching the stars. Life was very pleasant.

Unfortunately, this tranquility was eventually broken.

It had been three months since Qian Xiao, Xu Yiyi, and Yun Jin had joined the Qingfeng Camp. The kindergarten's summer vacation had long since ended, and the new school term had already been in session for two months.

Although Xu Lai really wanted to keep his daughter in the Qingfeng Camp for more training, he heard that Qian Xiao was about to celebrate his sixth birthday, so he sent Divine General Yan Chunfeng to make a trip there.

He just hadn't expected that as soon as Divine General Yan Chunfeng brought the little ones to Haitang Court, he would hear Qian Xiao's distraught voice.

"I'm about to become a Heavenly Soldier of the Qingfeng Camp, and you're telling me I have to celebrate my birthday? No way! I only need three hundred more Rebel Clan heads to have enough military merit for a promotion!"

Xu Lai was speechless.

He looked over at the boy. Qian Xiao was noticeably tanner and looked much sturdier. The Spiritual Energy in his body was completely contained within his limbs and bones.

Xu Yiyi still looked as exquisitely sculpted as ever, and the ethereal quality about her had become even more captivating. Compared to Qian Xiao, her progress was even more significant. Although there wasn't an obvious breakthrough in her realm, the Golden Core within her body radiated a dazzling golden light, and the faint sound of the Great Dao flowed from it.

This was a perfect Golden Core!

Xu Lai frowned and turned his gaze to Yan Chunfeng. He had explicitly told the Divine General not to give Yiyi any special treatment and to handle her just like any other soldier. Without a hoard of precious heavenly and earthly treasures, Xu Yiyi could not have forged a perfect Golden Core so quickly.

"Reporting to The Supreme Emperor," Yan Chunfeng transmitted his thoughts via Divine Sense, his voice gentle, "the ninety-third reserve squad of the Qingfeng Camp, consisting of ten members, entered Qingyue Mountain to eliminate the Rebel Clan and became trapped in the Samsara Formation."

"Heavenly Soldier Xu Yiyi shattered the formation with a single sword strike, rescuing the other nine Heavenly Soldiers in her squad and slaying thirty-two cultivators at the Golden Core Realm."

"When it came time to reward merit, she chose the heavenly and earthly treasures to condense a perfect Golden Core."

Hearing the Fourth Divine General's explanation, Xu Lai nodded in satisfaction. She was his daughter, after all.

"Daddy," Xu Yiyi said, her eyes twinkling mischievously, "about Mommy..."

"Don't worry," Xu Lai reassured her. "I've taken care of everything. She won't blame you all for getting carried away with having fun."

"Fun? What a hypocrite. You're the one who sent Yiyi and the others to the Qingfeng Camp in the first place."

The speaker was Beibei the conch, who was standing on Xu Yiyi's shoulder.

The conch girl carried her heavy shell on her back. She wasn't wearing any of the miniature cheongsams, long skirts, or short skirts Ruan Tang had bought for her. Instead, she was dressed in a black martial outfit. The outfit was neat and practical, without any unnecessary flair. A fine sword befitting a cultivator hung at her waist, making her seem like a blade, ready to be unsheathed at any moment. Her sharpness was hidden, but it was impossible to underestimate her.

"Early Golden Core Realm," Xu Lai nodded slightly. "Not bad progress."

To advance from Earth's Great Demon Realm to the Immortal Domain's Golden Core Realm in just a few months was a monumental leap. It was obvious that Beibei had endured immense hardship.

The conch girl glanced sideways at Xu Lai and tugged at the corner of her mouth, as if she wanted to perform her signature act of spitting water. But she didn't dare...

Over the past few months, she had come to fully understand what kind of existence Xu Lai was. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, she thought of revenge!

She, Beibei the conch, the number one swordmaster of the East Sea, swore that she would never forget this 'devilish training' of the last few months. One day, she would make Xu Lai experience the terror of being tormented daily by villains.
