Chapter 1732: Preparing for a Fivefold Leap

Yun Mengyao and Yin Qianqian were taken aback, were they being rejected?

The two were quite indignant, after all, they considered their talents to be quite good.

"Hey, even if you don't want to take us as apprentices, there's no need to insult us like this." Yun Mengyao said unhappily.

Qin Mu thought about it and seriously said, "But I'm just telling the truth. Actually, both of you have decent talents, but are far from meeting my standards for disciples."

"Then tell us, what are your standards for accepting disciples, are all your students like Qin Yi the freak?"

Qin Mu shook his head, "No, I have a student named Da Wa. He's very dumb, very simple-minded, his intelligence is much lower than ordinary people."

Yun Mengyao's eyes widened, "That's your standard? So, it's not that Sister Yin and I aren't qualified, it's that we're not dumb enough?"

Qin Mu laughed, "I haven't finished speaking. Da Wa is stupid, but he's very persistent. Once he sets his mind on something, he won't give up until he succeeds. For example, in cultivation, because his mind is simple, he cultivates faster than ordinary people."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. So, is it better to be a bit dumb or to have high talent?" Yun Mengyao looked puzzled.

Yin Qianqian said in a bad mood, "Haven't you realized by now? He just doesn't want to take us as apprentices."

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows gently, smiled and said, "This young lady is quite insightful."

Yin Qianqian's lips twitched, "Insightful my foot."

Yun Mengyao was pissed, "Not wanting to take us as apprentices, what's with all the nagging then?"

This guy is even more annoying than Qin Yi, seems like there's not one Qin that's likable.

Yun Mengyao's eyes rolled, she smiled and said, "Great master, since you don't want to take us as apprentices, that's fine. But you could give us some pointers, right? Anyway, it's not like you have anything better to do."

Yin Qianqian nodded vigorously, "When encountering an expert, you can't miss the chance, even if it means being cheeky. Many people miss opportunities because they aren't thick-skinned enough."

Qin Mu thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Lang Ya chummed up, saying, "Great master, since you're giving pointers, you could also give me a few tips, right?"

Qin Mu sighed helplessly, "Truly owe you people, I shouldn't have come out. Anyway, for that kid Qin Yi's sake, I'll give you some pointers, as for the fee, I'll get it from him when he comes out."

Yun Mengyao hurriedly said, "Great master, be sure to ask for more, Qin Yi is quite rich, has lots of good stuff too."

Qin Mu chuckled inwardly, with such a woman by his side, Qin Yi's life must be quite tragic too.

...

...

Half a month passed in a flash.

That day, Qin Mu was pointing Lang Ya and the other two in their cultivation.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the Dragon Emperor Cave.

Lang Ya opened his eyes and said, "Did the boss have another breakthrough?"

Yun Mengyao stood up and rushed toward the cave, "I'll go have a look."

As a result, Qin Mu turned his hand and suppressed her in place.

"Cultivation requires an undivided mind, be serious, don't get distracted."

Qin Mu was lying on a Big Green Stone Mountain, sunbathing, and lazily said.

"Hey, let me go in and check, what if something happened to Qin Yi."

"Don't worry! With me here, he won't get into trouble. Besides, even if something did happen, what could you do to help?"

"You..." Yun Mengyao was really angry.

"Just focus on cultivating, your cultivation is so weak, yet you still dare to run around."

Yun Mengyao was so upset her lips trembled, "I don't want to cultivate with you anymore."

"That's not up to you. Do you think this Emperor is someone you can provoke? Just focus and cultivate." Qin Mu's face hardened, and the air around them solidified.

Yun Mengyao yelled, "Qin Yi, come out quickly, someone's bullying me."

Lang Ya and Yin Qianqian were speechless, shaking their heads helplessly.

"Qin... ooh ooh..."

Yun Mengyao suddenly found herself unable to speak, becoming mute, only able to say "ah ba ba."

Must be Qin Mu's doing, she looked at Qin Mu, but Qin Mu didn't even glance at her, indifferently said, "Just focus on cultivating, I don't know how Qin Yi could stand such a noisy woman like you."

"Yaoyao, just focus on cultivating, don't be petty," Yin Qianqian comforted her. She could see that Qin Mu wasn't Qin Yi, he wouldn't show Yun Mengyao any mercy.

Besides, after half a month of Qin Mu's guidance, the three had all made significant improvements in their cultivation.

...

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

That day, a dull explosion came from the Dragon Emperor Cave, accompanied by a terrifying aura.

Lang Ya and the others were stunned.

Four consecutive breakthroughs.

Qin Yi broke through four levels in a row, is he even human?

"Senior... huh, where did he go?" Yin Qianqian was originally planning on asking Qin Mu to check on Qin Yi, but when she turned her head, she found Qin Mu was already gone.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

They rushed into the cave, Qin Mu indeed had gone ahead.

Arriving in front of the Blood Pool, they were shocked to find that almost no Dragon Blood was left in the pool.

Qin Yi's figure also appeared, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the Blood Pool, the Dragon Blood only covered up to his thighs.

Lang Ya grinned and said, "The boss absorbed all the Dragon Blood."

Yin Qianqian was shocked and said, "Truly a freak, four consecutive breakthroughs, unheard of."

Qin Mu turned around and smiled, "No, it's actually five consecutive breakthroughs, the remaining Dragon Blood is enough for him to break through one more level."

Everyone's mouths dropped in astonishment.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Not bad, with so much Dragon Blood, five consecutive breakthroughs, it's only passable."

"If it were you, you wouldn't be able to break through even one level," Yun Mengyao mumbled.

Qin Mu turned back, smiling at her, then Yun Mengyao found herself being directly pushed out of the cave by some invisible force.

"Since Qin Yi is almost at five consecutive breakthroughs, how can you still be lazy? All of you go cultivate."

Lang Ya and Yin Qianqian obediently turned and left, otherwise they'd end up like Yun Mengyao.

Qin Mu watched by the Blood Pool for a while, then went inside, came before Qin Yi, and took off Qin Yi's Storage Ring.

Qin Yi was sitting with his eyes closed, radiating brilliant purple and gold light, showing no reaction.

Qin Mu removed Qin Yi's sealing on the Storage Ring, checked it out, and then disdainfully said, "That noisy woman said you're rich with lots of good stuff, but only these Heavenly Thunder Fruits and Earth Spirit Stones are worth anything. Claiming to be rich while this poor."

"The remaining Dragon Blood isn't enough to support another breakthrough, so I'll give you a push. Remember, you owe me another favor."

Qin Mu took out thousands of Earth Spirit Stones and half of the Heavenly Thunder Fruits.

Qin Mu's hand gently swept over them, those thousands of Earth Spirit Stones instantly turned into powder, the terrifying Spiritual Energy rampaged in the Great Array, and then the nearly twenty Heavenly Spirit Fruits also turned into powder in Qin Mu's hands, making the Spiritual Energy in the Great Array even more terrifying.
