Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 168 Experience Surge! Tu Miaoling's Rapid Improvement. (Nonsense)

Shen Yun had no choice but to order everything immediately!

Having more cave dwellings doesn't matter; he hasn't even spent a hundred million yet, he has plenty of money.

After making the purchase, the surrounding scenery blurred for a moment, and he and Tu Miaoling found themselves in a room filled with ethereal mist and exquisite decoration.

The pool beneath them was not the previously common black stone version, but a spirit spring pool made of white jade, which looked countless times more upscale!

'It must be that the senior consumed his own essence, afraid that I would be uncomfortable with so many people watching...' Tu Miaoling looked at Shen Yun with concern in her eyes as she examined him.

"Senior, there's an array protecting us from outside, so there's no need to expend your life force for me!"

'Consuming essence?' Shen Yun recalled that this was a common way for many players to describe spending game currency.

Game currency is a censored term, and the terms "bound character" are unspeakable.

So, a more sophisticated way of saying it came up online: "Deplete your source of energy."

This word not only elevates the tone, but it can also win the favor of the character at crucial moments, and is therefore widely used.

Clearly, Tu Miaoling had heard it from other cultivators.

"It's alright." Shen Yun waved his hand, displaying the demeanor of a superior:

"With my high level of cultivation, I possess many origins."

"How can you calculate it like that!" Tu Miaoling was really anxious: "Senior, please promise me that you won't use your source energy unless it's absolutely necessary, okay?"

She didn't even dare to think about what she would do if her senior fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption of his essence.

“Okay…” Shen Yun’s eyes twitched as he finished speaking.

It has to be said, Tu Miaoling is truly domineering!

But he quickly closed his eyes and stretched out his hand:

"Let's begin, Miaoling."

At this moment, Tu Miaoling, like a frightened deer, blushed and raised her arms to protect herself.

It turned out that the two of them had forgotten that their clothes would disappear once the countdown to cultivation began.

'What's there to be nervous about? Senior isn't an outsider...' Tu Miaoling reassured herself, glanced at Shen Yun with his eyes closed, and then reached out her hands to join his.

A moment later, the Yin-Yang formation beneath the two began to exert its power.

At the same time, an experience bar lit up above Tu Miaoling's head:

Current cultivation level: Fourth level of Soul Forging

[Experience Box: 12/100]

(Benefits from the cave dwelling: Dual cultivation experience points: +50)

(Experience bonus from the cave dwelling: +150...)

Swish!

Just like leveling up in an online game, a white light shone from Tu Miaoling's body.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your cultivation has advanced to the fifth level of Soul Forging! (Currently in mortal state; your cultivation will be inherited upon returning to reality.)]

'This! She broke through already?!' Tu Miaoling's mind was buzzing.

And then, a series of prompts kept coming:

(Dual cultivation experience points: +50...)

[Ding! Congratulations! Your cultivation has advanced to the sixth level of Soul Forging...]

[Ding! Congratulations! Your cultivation has advanced to the seventh level of Soul Forging...]

'It must be that the senior is consuming his own essence to help me again...' Tu Miaoling felt the boiling energy within her body and was very worried.

She genuinely hoped to achieve a breakthrough in her cultivation.

But such rapid efficiency made her worried that Shen Yun would expend too much energy.

'What have I done to deserve such treatment from you, senior…' She quickly opened her eyes, wanting to interrupt.

At that moment, Shen Yun was looking at the experience prompt that appeared above her head, not expecting the girl to suddenly open her eyes.

Fortunately, he didn't mean to spy, so it wasn't too awkward.

Tu Miaoling didn't care about any of that; her tone was very anxious:

"Senior, you're being disobedient again! What will Miaoling do if something happens to you!"

"I know what I'm doing," Shen Yun said. "Don't worry, keep your mind focused and properly comprehend this improvement."

Seeing that he had closed his eyes, Tu Miaoling pursed her lips, her tone firm:

"If you are unwell, Senior, Miaoling will absolutely not continue..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yun grabbed her hands with both of his:

"This is a rare opportunity, so let's not say too much."

He desperately wanted Tu Miaoling to level up like a rocket, or even become an emperor and immortal in one step, because that would be the kind of treasure that would be the best!

'This girl is quite stubborn, I need to change her temper... Watch me put on a big show later, and she'll probably behave herself from now on...' Shen Yun began to think about how to discipline her after the event.

There will be many more days to spend together in the future, so it's not good for Tu Miaoling to always be worrying about this and that.

He knew that the other person lacked a sense of security and that he could fix it with some guidance.

"Senior!" Tu Miaoling tried to pull her hand away, but she was no match for Shen Yun's strength.

Helpless, she could only watch Shen Yun's expression with trepidation, and if she sensed anything was wrong, she would push away her senior even if it offended her.

As time went by, Tu Miaoling's cultivation level continued to increase.

He has reached the Transcendent Realm from the Soul Forging Realm!

After the four-hour event concluded, her cultivation had reached an astonishing third level of the Dharma Aspect realm!

'The dual cultivation activity is really powerful!' Shen Yun thought to himself with excitement!

Today's event is great, and of high quality.

Not only did she obtain a celestial treasure, but Tu Miaoling's cultivation level also increased dramatically!

Of course, it's mainly because you have money that you enjoy it; without money, the benefits won't be this great.

'It's time to start training this girl...' Shen Yun slowly opened his eyes and saw Tu Miaoling looking at him nervously, showing no joy at any breakthrough.

"Senior? Are you sure you're alright?"

"Sigh." Shen Yun sighed helplessly and began to ramble:

"If you can calm down and comprehend it, your cultivation can at least break through to the Heavenly One Realm. It's a pity about my more than 70... cough cough... strands of primordial essence."

As he said this, his face turned pale, and he swayed as if he had been greatly exhausted.

"Senior!!!" Seeing this, Tu Miaoling's face turned pale. She rushed forward and hugged him tightly, her expression filled with extreme fear.

"Senior, what's wrong! Don't scare Miaoling!"

"Ugh~" Shen Yun's face was completely blocked, but fortunately Tu Miaoling cleared it away so he could get some air.

At this moment, Tu Miaoling's face showed no shyness, but was filled with worry and fear, and even her delicate body was trembling slightly.

'Not bad, the effect is quite good.' Shen Yun, secretly pleased, shook his head and murmured:

"It's just that I used up too much energy, it's nothing serious."

"Why didn't you tell me the damage would be so great, senior!" Tu Miaoling looked down, her eyes welling up with tears.

"I told you not to do this!!"

Unbeknownst to her, her senior had become very important to her.

She didn't even dare to imagine what she would become if Shen Yun fell into a deep sleep.

"Let me tell you in advance, knowing your personality, you definitely won't listen." Shen Yun's voice was weak:

"Only in this way can you maximize your benefits... As you can see, there are many competitors here, all with powerful figures helping them. If you don't seize this opportunity, your future path will be difficult..."

"Stop talking, senior!!" Tu Miaoling bent down and hugged him tightly, her tone sharp.

"I don't need any special opportunities! I just want you by my side!!"

It turns out that the senior was afraid she wouldn't want to cultivate, so he forced himself to consume his own essence to help her break through.

But if her predecessor is gone, what good will it do for her to settle Tu Tianshi and avenge the blood feud?

It was her seniors who gave her endless hope.

She didn't expect that when she turned around, her senior was no longer behind her.
