[Congratulations to the host! Obtained Three Divine Fruits *1! It has been placed in the Dao Pavilion warehouse, and the host can use it at any time.]
Three Divine Fruits?
Upon hearing this prompt, Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
He wasn't unfamiliar with this name.
Once, in some ancient text, he had read an introduction about the Three Divine Fruits.
It blooms once every hundred years and bears fruit once every hundred years.
It takes a full two hundred years of time to condense a mature Three Divine Fruit.
As for the effectiveness of the Three Divine Fruits, it is even more terrifying.
Taking it when breaking the realm, not only can greatly increase the probability of a breakthrough.
But also... there is a chance to attain some sort of enlightenment during the breakthrough!
"There is a rumor that the current Red Cloud Sect Leader, Red Cloud Fairy, was able to lead Red Cloud Sect to rise quickly because she gained an opportunity in her early years and consumed a Three Divine Fruit, thereby surpassing the Innate Realm in strength."
Looking at the starry sky outside, Lu Ye took a deep breath.
Then he closed his eyes, circulating the Ancient Star Scripture, charging towards the Postnatal Realm.
In the room next door, Qing Yu was half asleep and didn't feel a thing.
A moment later, the immense suction of the Ancient Star Scripture instantly drained the nearby Heaven and Earth Source Qi.
Sensing the diminishing power, Lu Ye turned his palm.
The newly obtained Three Divine Fruit, manifesting in three dazzling colors, appeared before him.
Swallowing it in one gulp, it melted as soon as it entered his mouth, transforming into a vast energy that surged into Lu Ye's body.
The sturdy boundary of the Postnatal Realm was directly broken through by this immense force.
Postnatal Realm!
After the breakthrough, before Lu Ye had time to be pleasantly surprised, an insight suddenly surged into his mind.
Lu Ye immersed himself in this insight, and only after a long while did he open his eyes.
The aura of just breaking through to the Postnatal First Layer once again rose, reaching the Postnatal Second Layer!
A trace of mystical meaning flashed in his eyes.
"No wonder it's a worldly Spirit Fruit that takes two hundred years to mature."
In this bout of insight, not only did Lu Ye advance a realm, but the Ancient Star Scripture also entered the second layer.
Most importantly, Lu Ye comprehended a profound means of attack.
Innate Invisible Sword Qi!
A lethal technique truly possessed only by those in the Innate Realm, yet now he had just reached the Postnatal Second Layer and already comprehended it!
A special Sword Qi completely different from Postnatal Realm Inner Strength emerged in his Dantian.
"Very good, I've gained another trump card."
Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction.
...
Meanwhile, in another room.
Jiang Qingge tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After pondering for a moment, she simply got up, looked at the night sky full of stars outside, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
A moment later, to the shocked gazes of passing maids and guards, Jiang Qingge unexpectedly arrived at a remote small courtyard in Zone C of the outer courtyard.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Qingge in her white dress looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to earth.
She gently bit her red lips, came to the front of the small courtyard, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
Inside, Lu Ye was puzzled.
But when his senses in the Postnatal Realm extended, a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
Why is it her?
A moment later, opening the courtyard gate, Lu Ye said faintly, "Is there something you need?"
"I heard that today, you went to the city with Lingyue." Jiang Qingge's voice was also very calm.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qing Yu, who hurriedly dressed and came out, looked bewildered.
Are these two really newlywed husband and wife?
Lu Ye nodded.
Gazing at the night sky, Jiang Qingge fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Take a walk with me."
"???"
This proposal caught Lu Ye by surprise, did she take the wrong medicine?
Having just made a breakthrough, in a good mood, Lu Ye also wanted to see what Jiang Qingge was up to.
So he nodded, saying, "Alright."
Turning to Qing Yu, he said, "You should head back to sleep."
Jiang Qingge cast a cold glance at Lu Ye, then was the first to walk toward the Jiang Mansion's exit.
For some reason, in such a short period, she felt... this person seemed to have undergone some inexplicable change.
On the day of their marriage, when he first arrived at the Jiang Mansion, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
But there wasn't this kind of calm confidence.
Jiang Qingge couldn't understand, the entire Jiang Mansion looked down on him... except for Jiang Lingyue.
Red Cloud Sect also treated him as a discard, sending him here as a son-in-law and disregarding his life.
Where does he get the self-assurance to nurture such serene confidence?
Her thoughts flashed through her mind, and by the time Jiang Qingge came back to her senses, they had already left the Jiang Mansion.
In this world, there is no curfew at night.
Thus, there were many pedestrians on the streets and quite a few vendors still hawking their wares.
Jiang Qingge didn't know where she wanted to go, so she randomly chose a path, slowly walking forward.
Along the way, many pedestrians stared in awe at the beautiful Jiang Qingge in her white dress.
Jiang Qingge herself sneered introspectively, wondering what's the use of being good-looking.
Lacking martial arts cultivation talent, she was destined to be a tool in family alliances.
If possible, Jiang Qingge would rather trade her looks for martial arts talent.
Noticing something seemed off behind her, Jiang Qingge turned around to see...
Only to find Lu Ye with a calm expression, but keeping several meters away from her.
As if... afraid of others knowing they were connected.
Frowning, a flash of anger arose in Jiang Qingge's heart.
I called you out, and you're worried about being associated with me?
What, am I that embarrassing to you?
Jiang Qingge walked directly up to Lu Ye, saying flatly, "What, afraid I'll eat you?"
After her words fell, Jiang Qingge gritted her teeth slightly, snuggling up to Lu Ye, exposing a hint of intimacy.
"Husband, I want to eat that..."
Lu Ye: "???"
This woman, did she really not take her medicine tonight?
He purposefully kept a distance, genuinely not wanting to get into trouble.
Jiang Qingge's moods were unpredictable, so he didn't want to provoke her and simply stayed away.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingge pulled such a stunt.
Suddenly, the entire street's attention focused over there.
Many people gazed at Lu Ye with undisguised envy.
Lu Ye's expression remained indifferent, ever since the wedding night, he had no fondness left for Jiang Qingge.
Looking in the direction Jiang Qingge pointed, Lu Ye saw a vendor who had just arrived at the street corner selling candied hawthorn.
"Then go buy a string," Lu Ye said coldly.
Detecting the coldness in Lu Ye's words, Jiang Qingge felt somewhat annoyed.
She heard that when he went out with her little sister, it was nothing like this, full of banter and laughter.
Forget it... I'll give him another chance.
Arriving at the vendor, Jiang Qingge ordered a string of candied hawthorn, then turned and, in a rare soft voice, said,
"Husband, pay the silver."
"?"
A question mark immediately appeared on Lu Ye's forehead.
What relationship do we even have? Accompanying you for a walk is already going above and beyond, and you want me to pay for your food?
Your face is really thick.
Lu Ye said indifferently, "I don't have silver on me, you pay."
His ten silvers had long been turned into his Star Sword Body.
But Jiang Qingge remembered that, a few days ago, this man clearly asked Jiang Lingyue for ten silvers.
Unwilling to take the chances she offered, a hint of anger appeared in Jiang Qingge's heart, and she retracted her gentle tone.
"Fine, I'll do it myself..."
Reaching into her clothes, Jiang Qingge's face froze momentarily.
She had left home without her purse...
Opposite her, the candied hawthorn vendor frowned, "You two are dressed so finely, and you can't even afford a string of candied hawthorn?"
Jiang Qingge showed a hint of apology and was about to return the untouched candied hawthorn.
Suddenly, the vendor seized the moment Jiang Qingge was about to return the candied hawthorn.
He quietly pulled out a dagger, stabbing fiercely towards Jiang Qingge!
