Chapter 54: Seeking Li Wushuang Again

The difference between each rank is significant, let alone a gap of four ranks. Moreover, the higher the rank, the greater the difference becomes. If it weren't for provoking Zhou Haiming, exhausting him, and then barely winning with the Qingling Armor, I would have had no chance at all.

"Only advanced by one rank." Although my strength has increased by one rank, I frowned. When I consumed the first Yuan Boost Pill, I advanced two ranks at once, from a first-rank warrior to a third-rank warrior. But now, the second Yuan Boost Pill only just barely allowed me to advance one rank. At this rate, the higher I aim to break through, the greater the consumption required.

If I consume another Yuan Boost Pill now, it's unlikely I'll break through to the fifth-rank warrior. Moreover, I've just refined a Yuan Boost Pill, and my body needs time to process it. Consuming another Yuan Boost Pill right away would be a waste.

If I aim to break through to a martial master solely with Yuan Boost Pills, it will require a substantial number of them, which would be a significant expenditure of gold coins for me.

At the same time, I realized that although I am now a fourth-rank warrior, my cultivation level in terms of spiritual power is still at the first-rank spiritualist. The Yuan Boost Pill doesn't increase spiritual power as much as it does Qi. If I want to enhance my spiritual power, I can only do so by concocting pills. Relying on Yuan Boost Pills alone definitely won't allow for simultaneous breakthroughs in both martial and spiritual cultivation.

"I should start preparing. What treasures are there in Yunyang Sect? I forgot to ask Uncle Jiang." I thought to myself. Uncle Jiang asked me to visit Yunyang Sect, but I don't know what I'm supposed to retrieve. I'll have to ask Uncle Jiang another day.

After putting away the Fire Dragon Cauldron and the pills, I left the woodshed's secret room and headed to the front courtyard. Having secluded myself for thirteen days, I guessed my mother must be worried.

"Master Li." Along the way, the servants I encountered all respectfully greeted me, no longer daring to look down upon the once deemed useless young master. Many of the maids even cast admiring glances, knowing that being favored by the young master could change their fates.

Upon returning to my residence in the front courtyard, I saw several servants and maids cleaning the courtyard as I entered.

"Master Li." There were five servants, two men and three women, all around twenty years old, who immediately greeted me upon seeing me. Under Li Xiaobai's arrangement, everyone was to address me as "master" instead of "young master."

I nodded slightly. Li Xiaobai was quite astute. Others calling me "young master" was something I couldn't change, as I couldn't just tell everyone to stop calling me that. But it was possible to change how the maids in my own courtyard addressed me. The title "young master" always sounded awkward to me.

"Master, you're finally back. Madam has been worried sick about you," Li Xiaobai came out upon hearing my return.

"Xiaobai, where's my mother?" I wasn't surprised, knowing my mother would be worried.

"I was just tidying up some things. You, child, going out for so long has worried me to death," Rolan emerged from the inner courtyard. She had been extremely anxious these past few days and finally relaxed upon seeing me.

"Mother, you should let the servants handle the tidying. Don't trouble yourself," I gently said, seeing my mother looking much better. She was dressed simply, but her demeanor had subtly changed.

"I'm not old yet; I can still move around. Besides, I was organizing your childhood belongings, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with that," Rolan said.

Then, I learned that the Li family had agreed to my request, acknowledging my mother as a lady of the Li family. Seeing my mother's current state filled my heart with happiness. It wasn't about the title of a Li family lady—I couldn't care less about that—but it was very important to my mother.

What made me happy was that I had finally changed my mother's situation, sparing her from further suffering and hardship.

After chatting with my mother for a while, I planned to visit Li Wushuang. I intended to go to the Li family's Martial Arts Archive but didn't know the way. I needed Li Wushuang to guide me. I had no memory of the Archive, only knowing it was an absolute forbidden area for the Li family. Even Li family members couldn't enter without permission.

Li Wushuang's courtyard was next door, one of many such courtyards in the Li family's front courtyard designated for direct descendants.

Upon reaching Li Wushuang's courtyard, I didn't see any servants. Li Wushuang had not been back from Yunyang Sect for long and usually stayed there, leaving the courtyard unattended.

"Wushuang sister," I called out upon entering the courtyard. After calling twice with no response, I hesitated before entering.

"Wushuang sister, are you there?" I called out softly.

"Lin'er, why are you here? Wait outside for a moment," came Li Wushuang's somewhat flustered voice from a room, followed by the sound of water.

"Is she taking a bath?" Hearing the noise, I thought to myself, recalling how Li Wushuang had seen me fully exposed in the backyard. If I now peeked in, would that be fair to me?

"Shameless," I chastised myself internally, then sat down in the small hall, my mind involuntarily filled with images of a beautiful woman bathing, causing a reaction below.

"Lin'er, why have you come?" Moments later, a graceful figure appeared before me.

"This is adding fuel to the fire," I thought, seeing Li Wushuang dressed in a blue palace gown, her wet black hair draped over her shoulders and front, looking enchantingly beautiful.

Her hair ends reached just below her chest, dampening the blue gown and revealing enticing curves beneath.

"It seems she's wearing little..." I thought, looking where I shouldn't, perhaps there were no undergarments like in my previous world, allowing me to catch such a spring scene.

Li Wushuang looked refreshingly simple without extra adornments but was even more attractive and sexy. I hadn't expected Li Wushuang to have such a sexy side. The water droplets falling from her hair tips, her slender waist, and delicate face were all incredibly tempting to me, a young man in his prime.

I couldn't help but swallow, overwhelmed by temptation, and softly said, "Your beauty, half-revealed, is charming and enticing. In the courtyard, as the lady emerges from her bath, nature seems to favor this moment, making the moon shine brightly to share in the beauty of the moment, urging us not to shy away from intoxication, for this flower stands unmatched among others."

"What did you say?" Li Wushuang blushed, looking down to see my gaze fixed on her chest, where her skin was partially visible. Her face turned red to the ears, and she hurried back into her room.

"Li Lin, you're really shameless."

Watching Li Wushuang's reaction, Li Lin scolded himself again internally, then smiled slightly, thinking it wasn't really a big deal since she had seen him fully exposed as well.

Recalling that glimpse of barely concealed whiteness, Li Lin struggled to suppress his improper thoughts. Indeed, that sight was truly tempting.
