Chapter 573: 0574 Crystal Stone! (Second Update)

After much persuasion, Ye Qiu finally calmed down the enraged Lin Qiao’er and dared not say another word.

Upon exiting the hotel entrance, Lin Qiao’er glared and warned, "You must not tell anyone about what happened last night in the hotel with me."

"Officer Lin, we did nothing, nothing at all," Ye Qiu casually added.

"You... not a word, especially to my colleagues. If I hear even a whisper about last night, you’re done for!" Lin Qiao’er suppressed the urge to kill and glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.

Adhering to the belief that arguing with a woman is folly, Ye Qiu opted for silence as golden.

Having finally seen off Lin Qiao’er, Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the villa, Ye Qiu saw that Mr. Mo had returned and was overjoyed, saying, "Mr. Mo."

"Has the young master’s strength been restored?" Mr. Mo, having heard from Bai Xiong that Ye Qiu had regained his realm, was in high spirits, hopeful for the Dugu clan’s revenge.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "I’ve just reached the True Qi Realm. Once I stabilize it, I can train to reach the peak and then try to break through to the Legendary Realm."

"Congratulations, young master. I have a gift for you that can help you quickly return to the late peak of the True Qi Realm." Mr. Mo took out something that looked like a diamond.

Ye Qiu found it familiar... He suddenly recalled having seen this object before in the Dantian, the remnant eyeball that absorbed energy.

Tang Surou had also used it to save him.

"Mr. Mo, what is this object?" Ye Qiu quickly came to his senses and asked. He was very curious about this crystal, but unfortunately, Tang Surou had not explained it in detail.

"This object is a pure energy crystal. It contains a very mild form of energy that Martial Artists can directly absorb without any issues. It is the most favored item among ancient Martial Artists, and people call it a Crystal Stone," Mr. Mo explained slowly.

"Crystal Stone? Please tell me more, Mr. Mo," Ye Qiu said.

Mr. Mo did not hold back and continued, "Just like the levels of a Martial Artist’s realms, Crystal Stones also vary in grade, with the lowest being fourth-grade Crystal Stones. Though the energy within them is pure, it contains a type that we cannot absorb, with only a part usable for Martial Artists to refine and ingest. The next level up is third-grade Crystal Stones, which are a bit better than fourth-grade, and so on up to second-grade and first-grade Crystal Stones."

"First-grade Crystal Stones are the best among them, with plentiful, pure, and singular energy. Even in ancient lands, they are rarely possessed."

"The prodigies of ancient Martial Families often use Crystal Stones for training, which is why their realms advance rapidly. Reaching the Legendary Realm by the age of twenty is not an uncommon occurrence."

Ye Qiu agreed wholeheartedly. He had experienced the energy of the Crystal Stone, which had pulled him back from the brink of death. Thus, it was understandable that the younger generation of the ancient lands, who frequently used these precious energy substances for training, were so powerful.

"Young master, there’s no need to worry. Not all young members of Martial Families in ancient lands can afford to train with Crystal Stones. This substance is becoming increasingly rare, and what remains now is even less. One cannot frequently use them for training, and even if they do, most are using lower-grade Crystal Stones. To have four or five first-grade stones in a noble family is good, but such extravagance simply can’t be afforded," Mr. Mo explained.

What Mr. Mo said was true, and upon reflection, Ye Qiu agreed. Otherwise, the ancient lands would be terrifying, with legendary realm masters casually emerging and completely dominating the world.

"The one I am giving you is not the best, a first-grade Crystal Stone, but it’s also not bad, being a second-grade Crystal Stone, and it can absolutely boost your power to the late peak of the True Qi Realm," Mr. Mo said as he handed the second-grade Crystal Stone to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu bowed slightly and thanked him.

Mr. Mo shook his head and then said, "Young master, recently two legendary Martial Artists from Japan intend to target you. Would you require my assistance?"

Ye Qiu’s expression shifted as he realized that Elder Mo seemed to know about the additional two generals from the Japanese group seeking revenge on him. Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "There is no need for Elder Mo to take action, I will handle these two myself."

After Ye Qiu returned to his room, Elder Mo revealed a smile of relief. If Ye Qiu had agreed for him to step in, he would have unhesitatingly eliminated Miyamoto Ryūmu and the others, but Ye Qiu did not. This made Elder Mo particularly happy.

The kind of young master he most wanted to see was exactly like Ye Qiu, and only such a fearless warrior could potentially succeed in taking revenge for the Dugu family.

Bai Xiong had also suggested that Ye Qiu let Elder Mo act first to solve the problem directly, but Ye Qiu rejected this idea because he had his own plans.

When Elder Mo approached him, calling him young master and hoping he would take revenge for the family, he risked his life entering the ancient land twice.

This kindness was always in Ye Qiu’s heart. If he had let Elder Mo step in to eliminate his rivals, Elder Mo wouldn’t have refused, but could he really do that?

No!

If he did that, what would Elder Mo think? If he couldn’t overcome this difficulty himself, how would he be able to face the formidable enemies of the ancient land?

Doing so would only disappoint Elder Mo.

Therefore, when facing Zhan Qianzang and Akamatsu Minamoto, Ye Qiu did not ask for Elder Mo’s help, just as he had done previously.

No matter how powerful the opponent was, Ye Qiu always remained composed and personally vanquished them, even in battles of life and death, he never asked Elder Mo for help.

He wanted to hone himself. Strength belongs to others is always others’; if Elder Mo could defeat the ancient land, he wouldn’t need Ye Qiu. So Ye Qiu knew he had to become stronger himself, only by being formidable could he be fearless.

In their respective rooms, Elder Mo and Ye Qiu shared a mutual understanding with a smile.

The thoughts of master and servant, perhaps already in agreement.

Ye Qiu spread his hand open, gazing at the second-class Crystal Stone in his palm.

He began to refine and absorb it.

"Hmm? This is the energy of a second-class Crystal Stone!" Ye Qiu exclaimed slightly. From the moment he began refining, he felt a surging power enter his body.

"It turns out that in addition to the pure energy beneficial to Martial Artists, there is another kind of energy that seems useless." Ye Qiu quickly noticed another pale white energy within the second-class Crystal Stone. After feeling it for a while, it seemed not very useful.

"Let’s absorb the beneficial energy first, and expel this other energy from my body," he decided.

Ye Qiu began to absorb and refine. The power of the black flame continued to expand, growing rapidly.

What astonished Ye Qiu the most was that the remaining eye also began to absorb the energy, becoming more vibrant, with the blood on it turning fresher.

As time passed, he wasn’t sure how much time had elapsed, but the energy from the second-class Crystal Stone was completely absorbed by Ye Qiu, turning into the power of the black flame, helping him return to the late peak of the True Qi stage.

This was satisfactory.

Ye Qiu revealed an excited expression, but the next moment he frowned slightly: "Elder Mo gave me a second-class Crystal Stone which had some useless energy, quite different from the Crystal Stone Su Rou gave me, which seems to be completely pure, could it be... a first-class Crystal Stone?"
