Chapter 784: Chapter 0785: Qi Refinement Realm Fifth Layer Early Stage [Fourth Update]

Ye Qiu waited in the office until 11:30 p.m. After the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant stopped operating, Ye Qiu got into the car with Ye Xue, Liu Lingxiu, and Chen Fang to head back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

As for Ye Weidong, he rode his motorcycle back himself. Besides, he would have to ride it over again early the next morning.

Returning to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, Ye Qiu parked the car in the garage before heading upstairs.

Ye Qiu first went to take a shower, and then he took out the dresses for Liu Lingxiu and Ye Xue.

"Sis, Liu Lingxiu, these are clothes I bought for you, just delivered."

When Ye Qiu had just come back, he had already given each of the two women a diamond necklace, each worth more than 30,000 euros.

To their surprise, now there were also clothes.

Liu Lingxiu and Ye Xue quickly took them and, upon opening them, found that they were incredibly beautiful, the kind you could tell were branded at a glance.

"Ye Qiu, how much did these cost?"

Ye Xue asked.

"Sis, they weren’t too expensive, two or three thousand euros each."

Ye Qiu said.

Two or three thousand isn’t expensive?

Ye Xue was at a loss for words; after all, that was roughly twenty to thirty thousand in Huaxia Yuan.

In the past, she wouldn’t have even dared to imagine such a thing.

Chen Fang also looked and found that the quality of the dresses was excellent. However, at that time, Ye Qiu hadn’t bought anything for Chen Fang or Ye Weidong because there weren’t suitable middle-aged styles for them at that shop.

"Mom, that place didn’t have styles for your age group. I’ll take you to the mall to pick some out when I have time."

Ye Qiu said.

"No need, I already have plenty."

Yet, Chen Fang found it strange that Ye Qiu was still wearing the old clothes she’d bought for him before. Previously, Li Qianqian had already bought Ye Qiu two brand-new outfits from big-name brands, but Ye Qiu had never worn them once.

As such, she believed that with the school semester starting soon, Ye Qiu should wear something a bit nicer. That way, others wouldn’t look at him strangely.

"Mom, if you don’t like the ones they sell, I’ll design a couple of outfits for you myself when I have time."

Ye Qiu said.

For now, he headed upstairs, first to shower and then to cultivate.

Last night, Ye Qiu had already felt a sense of breakthrough, so tonight, he continued his cultivation.

After showering, he returned to his room, turned off the lights, and shut the door. Moonlight shone directly into the room through the window.

It was now nearing September, less than a month away from the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time of year, the Moonlight Essence was at its most concentrated around the Mid-Autumn Festival, making these nights the best time for him to absorb it.

The continuous influx of Moonlight Essence seeped into his body and transformed into Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy flowed through Ye Qiu’s meridians before entering his Dantian, where it condensed into True Qi and accumulated.

Over this period, the True Qi Ye Qiu had been accumulating grew more abundant, and it was nearing the process of transforming from quantity to quality. Ye Qiu had been waiting for this opportunity.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a surge as if something was overflowing. Then, his Dantian seemed to explode, and his entire body was overcome with a wave of comfort.

This sense of comfort let him know that his cultivation had broken through once more, advancing from the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm Fourth Layer to the Early Stage of the Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer.

Opening his eyes and taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu realized it was just past 3 a.m.

Feeling a sticky sensation on his back, likely from sweating profusely, he got up, took another shower, and returned to the room to lie down for some rest.

The next morning, when Ye Qiu woke up, it was already past 9 a.m.

After freshening up, he came downstairs and saw Liu Lingxiu watching TV alone. Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue had already gone back to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.

Initially, Ye Weidong had something he wanted to discuss with Ye Qiu, but seeing that Ye Qiu was still asleep, he decided not to wake him up.

"Ye Qiu, breakfast is over there. I’ll bring it to you."

Liu Lingxiu went to the kitchen to fetch the breakfast, and Ye Qiu sat down to eat.

Afterward, they got into the car together, planning to take Ye Qiu to check on the renovation progress at the shop. Although Ye Qiu had checked it out a few days ago, they decided to go again.

Driving to the storefront, sounds of cutting and sawing could be heard from inside. Getting out of the car, Ye Qiu saw Liu Daqing, wearing a mask, bustling about inside.

The shop wasn’t large, and it was almost fully renovated.

However, with no work for a day, both Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong seemed anxious. After all, not working for such a long time equated to no income.

Seeing Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu approaching, Liu Daqing urged them to stay outside since there was still plenty of dust inside.

Once outside, Ye Qiu said, "Uncle Liu, just let the workers handle the renovations inside. Once they’re finished, I’ll come over and help you get rid of the smell so the shop can open for business."

But Liu Daqing, like Ye Weidong, didn’t feel assured unless he saw things with his own eyes.

"Uncle Liu, do you feel like going back to check on your old place?"

"I would, but there’s nothing worth seeing."

Thinking about how a body had burned to death there in the past, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Now there were people offering to buy the land, with bids exceeding a million.

Yet, after discussing it, Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong decided not to sell unless the land was requisitioned later on, leaving them no choice. For now, they preferred to keep it.

After all, even if they got that million, they wouldn’t know what to do with it.

"We could go take a look. I’ll also bring Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming back, so tomorrow we can return to school."

Liu Daqing had almost forgotten that Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu would soon be heading back to college.

"Then I’ll go with you."

After cleaning his hands and patting off the dust on his clothes, Liu Daqing got into Ye Qiu’s car, and Ye Qiu drove toward Jiangbei.

This area by the river was a place Ye Qiu rarely visited anymore, as there wasn’t much reason for him to return.

Arriving at the remains of Liu Daqing and his wife’s old house, the scorched and crumbling bricks still lay there. At night, Liu Daqing still found it eerie.

But during the day, there wasn’t much to be concerned about; it was just that the sight of the burnt remains didn’t offer anything particularly interesting.

"Uncle Liu, take a look around here. I’m going to pick up Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming."

Ye Qiu first called Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming on the phone.

The last time something had happened with them, Ye Qiu had been there, and he’d visited them before. As such, he was quite familiar with their location, and the two were still at home.

Both had received their acceptance letters from Jinling University’s Independent Institute, which had brought joy to their parents. However, the Independent Institute’s tuition was exorbitant, amounting to at least 20,000 to 30,000 a year.

If it were Zhu Zhiming, it wouldn’t be a problem since his family was relatively well-off. But Li Shen’s family was much worse off. If Li Shen relied solely on his parents, the tuition and living expenses for four years would amount to at least 100,000.
