Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Cultivation Level
“Xin, I heard from a senior that you were also forced into cultivating, right?” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“Yes, in order to become the Family Head, cultivation is inevitable.” Chen Yuxin said while applying the medicine to Ye Shikai, who felt a wave of Inner Strength being released from the pitch-black medicinal mud, spreading inside his body and feeling warm.
“Kai, which level have you cultivated to now?” Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.
“Level? I don’t really know, is there a distinction?” Ye Shikai asked curiously. In his eyes, there was only the difference between the strong and the weak, and among the Western cultivators, ranking was also based on the Dark List.
“Huaxia cultivators are divided into eleven stages from shallow to deep: Foundation Establishment, Xuan Zhao, Fusion, Heart Motion, Spirit Silence, Nascent Soul, Soul Emergence, Divine Separation, Body Integration, Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana; these are the levels of cultivation hierarchy.”
“Wait a minute, it’s that complicated?” Ye Shikai scratched his head. When he was cultivating, he had never cared too much about these details; he only knew that the Emperor Xuan Scripture had eight layers, but he had no idea that cultivators were divided into eleven levels.
“Of course, this is what great-grandfather said.” Chen Yuxin smiled, then continued, “However, many powerful cultivators now choose to live in seclusion, and those from the Body Integration Realm and above can all be called peerless masters, although they are very rare.”
“I also don’t know which level I’m at,” Ye Shikai said, scratching his head and speaking somewhat awkwardly.
“Foundation Establishment to Heart Motion are just the primary stages of cultivators. From Spirit Silence and above, each level is divided into early, middle, and late phases to serve as transitions,” Chen Yuxin continued.
“So what’s your cultivation level?” Ye Shikai inquired.
“Soul Emergence Middle Stage.” Chen Yuxin replied with a slight smile.
“Sounds quite impressive.”
“In Yanjing, every family has hidden cultivators; they are the backbone that keeps the family standing tall,” Chen Yuxin said lightly.
“Xin, what about that senior’s cultivation level?” Ye Shikai tentatively asked.
“A few years ago, he advanced from the early stage to the middle stage of Body Integration.” Chen Yuxin’s words astounded Ye Shikai. Chen Yaogzu’s Inner Strength was already very deep, yet he was only at the middle stage of Body Integration. So, if someone was at the Tribulation Crossing Stage or even the Mahayana Realm, wouldn’t they be like deities?
“The higher the level, the more difficult it is to advance in cultivation. Great-grandfather is in retreat, and it is for the sake of concentrating on cultivation.”
“I see.” Ye Shikai nodded. In fact, by comparison, he thought that Chen Yuxin needed to go into seclusion more urgently. She had too many worries, all of which could lead to deviating from the path in cultivation.
“Hiss, it hurts.” Ye Shikai suddenly cried out in pain as Chen Yuxin fiercely twisted and pinched the soft flesh around his waist. He had been lost in thought and hadn’t heard her speak, leading to a misunderstanding by Chen Yuxin.
“Now that the medicine is applied, I should go back to sleep. Goodnight.” Ye Shikai quickly took his shirt and ran back to his room, washed off the medicinal mud in the bathroom, changed into a comfortable set of pajamas, and lay contentedly in the big bed.
“Ding Ling Ling.” At this moment, the cell phone on the bed rang. Ye Shikai glanced at the caller ID; it was Su Qingyu’s call.
“Hello, wife, what’s up?”
“Where are you right now?” Su Qingyu asked indifferently.
“I’m in Jiangnan,” Ye Shikai said without lying.
“Why did you go so far away?”
“I have a friend in Jiangnan who ran into some trouble, so I came to help. It was an emergency, and I didn’t have time to inform you, sorry.” Ye Shikai hurriedly began to coax.
“Really? Then why did you turn off your phone?” Su Qingyu asked with a hint of suspicion.
“The phone ran out of power, and I was busy with things, so I didn’t notice.”
“Friend, is it a man or a woman?”
“Kai, are you asleep?”
Two female voices sounded at the same time, and Ye Shikai was instantly at a loss for words. Chen Yuxin was speaking outside the door, and the Su Qingyu on the phone…, “‘”, “‘, she…”
“Oh, it’s a girlfriend then.” An extremely cold voice came from the phone, where Su Qingyu placed particular emphasis on the word “girl”.
“Qingyu, no wait, wife, listen to my explanation, we have nothing between us.”
“Thump thump thump, Kai, you’re not asleep, right? I’m coming in.” Before Ye Shikai could finish speaking, the voice outside came again.
It was over, the call was hung up.
Just as Ye Shikai was about to call back, Chen Yuxin walked in from outside, seeing his perplexed face and thinking something had happened.
“Kai, what happened?” Chen Yuxin smoothed her hair and spoke softly.
“Nothing, you should go to sleep quickly.” Without further ado, Ye Shikai pushed Chen Yuxin out of the room with a dark expression and then hid directly in the bathroom to call Su Qingyu back.
“Pick up the phone quickly.” Ye Shikai muttered anxiously.
“Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off.” A cold voice came through the phone…
“Sis, why are you crying?” Su Ziqing had just returned home and saw Su Qingyu alone, leaning on the dining table, her body trembling and sobbing faintly heard.
“Right, where’s brother-in-law? He’s been missing for a day.”
“You don’t have a brother-in-law anymore.” Su Qingyu suddenly lifted her head and shouted.
“What, brother-in-law died?” Su Ziqing’s face changed; she had misunderstood the meaning.
“He’s not dead, but I don’t want to be married anymore.” Su Qingyu spoke with a cold expression.
“Why, did brother-in-law cheat?” Su Ziqing showed an incredible expression. Although she knew her brother-in-law was popular with women, he had never crossed the line, and Su Qingyu did not speak, continuing to cry at the table, her expression answering Su Ziqing’s doubts.
“Ding Ling Ling.” At this moment, Su Ziqing’s phone also rang, and the caller ID showed Ye Shikai.
“Hello, brother-in-law.”
“Thank goodness, finally someone’s answering the phone.”
“Stinky brother-in-law, you actually went behind my sister’s back to find another woman.”
“What? It’s all a misunderstanding.” Ye Shikai immediately explained, “That’s just a classmate of mine, although she is a female classmate, but we have never done such a thing.”
“Brother-in-law, do you think I’m so easily fooled? A female classmate calls you, and you hurriedly run off to Jiangnan.”
“I’ll explain everything when I get back, for now, please comfort your sister for me.” Ye Shikai hurriedly got to the point, worried that Su Qingyu would do something rash.
“Okay, I’ll pass the phone to my sister.” Su Ziqing handed the phone to Su Qingyu, “Sis, brother-in-law wants to explain, please listen to him.”
