Cultivation Online

Although Yuan was unaware of the subtle changes within his body, the golden symbols engraved in his bones glowed brightly and emitted this profound aura that attracted the nearby spiritual energy, vastly increasing Yuan ’s spiritual energy absorption rate.

Meanwhile, the mysterious flame inside his heart pulsated as though it had become a heart itself, and with each beat, the spiritual energy he ’d absorbed was instantly purified and enhanced, greatly boosting its effectiveness.

With these two profound and mysterious powers inside his body, Yuan ’s cultivation speed soared to a level that rivaled even his cultivation speed in Cultivation Online without eating monster cores.

’What ’s going on? Why did my cultivation speed suddenly increase so much? ’

Even without knowledge of what ’s happening inside his body, Yuan could tell that something had changed, as his cultivation speed had suddenly increased.

However, he wasn ’t complaining.
And worried that it was only temporary, Yuan focused on cultivating without thinking about anything else.

Whoosh!

A fresh feeling suddenly exploded within his body, signaling that he had a breakthrough, reaching 8th level Spirit Apprentice in just one hour since he began cultivating.

The same refreshing feeling occurred again just three hours later, meaning Yuan had another breakthrough, reaching the peak Spirit Apprentice.

’I had managed to enter Spirit Warrior previously without needing any enlightenment, but that is most likely because of the game.
If I want to achieve the same feat in the real world, I ’ll probably have to experience this enlightenment.
Let ’s see if I can make another breakthrough again. ’

With that in mind, Yuan began cultivating again.

Six hours later, Yuan could feel his body filled to the brim with spiritual energy, yet he could not enter Spirit Warrior, almost like there was something preventing him from advancing. 

’So this is what Xiao Hua meant by needing enlightenment to continue.
However, how does one achieve enlightenment? ’ Yuan began pondering.

But alas, no matter how much he thought about it, he had zero clues about enlightenment.

’I should ask Xiao Hua about it tomorrow… ’

Meanwhile, after school, Yu Rou got into her limousine with Meixiu.

Once the door closed and the car began moving, they resumed their conversation from this morning.

”Have you thought about it, Meixiu? ” Yu Rou asked her.

Meixiu nodded, and then she spoke, ”Young Lady, if you don ’t mind me asking, what will happen to us if I decide to help the Young Master? Will I still be serving you? ”

”I want you to focus on taking care of my brother, and I don ’t want to overwork you, so I ’ll find someone else to take care of my needs.
Don ’t worry, it ’s not like you ’re fired.
You ’re just being hired by my brother instead. ” Yu Rou said.

”I ’ll even pay you for him.
This way, Brother Tian will have less burden. ”

”I don ’t really care for the money, Young Lady.
If money is my only reason to work for you, I would ’ve left long ago since I have already saved up enough money to quit my job. ” Meixiu said.

And she continued, ”I know how much the Young Master means to you, and I am also indebted to the Young Master for many things in the past, so if the both of you need my help, I ’ll do my best. ”

”D-Does this mean you ’re willing to take care of Brother Tian? ” Yu Rou asked her for confirmation.

Meixiu nodded with a slight smile on her face, and she said, ”Only if the Young Lady allows me to continue working for her even if I am already taking care of the Young Master.
Of course, I will still prioritize the Young Master, but if I have some free time, I would like to work for you then. ”

”Meixiu… I don ’t even know how I should thank you… ” Yu Rou could feel herself tearing up.

”You don ’t have to thank me for anything, Young Lady.
I am merely doing my job. ”

Yu Rou nodded, ”Then it ’s decided.
We ’ll talk more about this once we return to my brother. ”

Sometime later, the limousine stopped in front of their home, and Yu Rou and Meixiu headed directly for Yuan ’s room.

”Brother! I have great news! ” Yu Rou said as she opened the door.

”I can hear you perfectly, Yu Rou.
There ’s no need to scream. ” Yuan said with a smile on his face.

”Meixiu, go ahead and tell him! ” Yu Rou said to Meixiu who ’d just entered the room.

Meixiu then approached the bed before bending her body and bowing to Yuan.

”Young Master, I, Meixiu, will be in your care starting today. ”

”Huh? Does this mean you ’re willing to leave Yu Rou ’s side to come work for me? If that ’s the case, I should be the one saying that… ” Yuan said in a somewhat dazed voice.

”Yes, but I won ’t be leaving the Young Lady ’s side.
I have decided to work for the both of you, as I ’d been trained for this very purpose. ” Meixiu said.

”Isn ’t this great, brother? Now that we have taken care of your caretaker problem, we only have two more problems left! Your new home and… ”

Yu Rou suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence.
She then went to close the door and continued in a lower voice, ”Meixiu, we ’re about to tell you a very big secret that you must not reveal to anybody— not even my parents, okay?! ”

”Not even the Masters? ” Meixiu swallowed nervously.
What kind of secret are they going to tell her?

”Can you promise to not tell another soul, Meixiu? This secret is very related to taking care of Brother Tian as well. ”

Meixiu nodded with a serious look and said, ”I promise, Young Lady, that I won ’t tell another soul even if I ’m tortured to death. ”

”T-That ’s a little bit extreme but okay… ” Yu Rou was taken aback by Meixiu ’s seriousness.

”Anyway, do you know about Player Yuan? The player that everybody has been talking about recently? Well, that ’s— ”

Before Yu Rou could even finish her sentence, Meixiu interrupted and said, ”Player Yuan is the Young Master, right? I know. ”

”Eh? ” Yu Rou stared at her with a shocked face.
