Chapter 32: The Effects of Beauty and Skin Care

  At this time, Wang Ke had already fallen into a profound and mysterious state, a state that some cultivators might not encounter even once in their lifetime. If they did, it would be as if they had struck it rich, and the gains for themselves would be unimaginably enormous.

  Standing in front of Wang Ke, Li Ruoxi's seductive back slowly turned around, and the silent Wang Ke behind her made her heart feel a little puzzled.

  However!

  The moment she turned around and her gaze fell on Wang Ke, Li Ruoxi's breathing stopped instantly. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with an unbelievable light, and even a rainbow of colors flashed across the bottom of her eyes. She was stunned by the scene in front of her.

  Under the moonlight, Wang Ke's face, which was not particularly handsome, radiated a holy glow, sacred and inviolable. His body had a subtle aura that seemed to ripple like waves on water, spreading out in all directions. The cool spiritual energy could be keenly sensed, and it surged towards Wang Ke's body in an eerie manner.

  The scene in front of her, as she stared with wide eyes, seemed to have undergone a strange transformation, as if an illusion had appeared. Wang Ke's complexion changed in her eyes, and that not-so-handsome face suddenly seemed more angular and determined, as if carved out by a sharp knife or axe.

  His straight and slender figure seemed to have increased a lot out of thin air, Li Ruoxi, who was at least 1.72 meters tall, even if she was wearing high heels at this time, still felt that she had a kind of need to look up at Wang Ke.

  The gentle breeze blew across his clothes, and the fluttering hem gave him an extra touch of unique charm, which was carefree, uninhibited, and even ethereal and elusive.

  That calm and peaceful heart of hers, which had been still for twenty years, suddenly trembled with a thread of fear and panic when she saw Wang Que in front of her. The feeling was like being struck by a deer, making her feel afraid and even more shy.

  She didn't know why it was like this, she couldn't understand how a person could suddenly seem like a completely different person.

  Time seems to have frozen.

  Time has left no mark, light steps move forward, one second at a time, slowly going far away.

  Wang Ke, standing by the lake, came to his senses in five minutes. The first thing he did after coming to was to say hastily to Li Ruoxi, who was staring at him blankly: "Let's hurry back, I have an urgent matter to attend to."

  Yes, it's an urgent matter, extremely urgent.

  Li Ruoxi woke up from her daze, her face slightly flushed, but Wang Ke, who was in a hurry, didn't notice it carefully.

  "What's wrong? Why so urgent?" Li Ruoxi suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her beautiful eyes as she asked.

  Wang Ke's face flashed a wry smile, and he quickly said: "Yes, it's very urgent. I feel that my cultivation realm is about to break through, so I must return as soon as possible. I need a very quiet place to cultivate, where I won't be disturbed."

  Is your cultivation boundary about to break through?

  Li Ruoxi felt that the shock Wang Ke brought to her today was really too much. She just let him relax a bit here, and then he would leave, but he actually felt like breaking through in this short period of time?

  What kind of monster is this?

  If he breaks through, what level of cultivation boundary can he reach?

  Li Ruoxi nodded quickly and said loudly: "Alright, let's hurry back and intercept a taxi on the highway."

  The Public Security Bureau is not far from the villa area, and Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi, who are in good luck, intercept a taxi after a while, and soon they are sent back to the gate of the villa area.

  Because of what had happened before, the security guards on duty were exceptionally respectful to Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke, seeing them off as they almost ran into the depths of the villa area. Those security guards on duty whispered to each other, chatting about Li Ruoxi's beauty and Wang Ke's terrifying martial arts skills.

  Back in the villa, Li Ruoxi did not disturb Wang Ke again, and even instructed Song Niang, who had been waiting in the villa's hall, not to disturb Wang Ke either.

  In the pitch-black room, all doors and windows were wide open, and the cool breeze carried a hint of heavenly energy, as if summoned by something, it surged into the room in ripples.

  Wang Ke, wearing loose black pants, stood with his back straight, like an old monk in meditation, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The true energy in his body had been circulated to its limit along the route of the "Dragon Elephant" Qigong method.

  Time passed bit by bit, and as it did, the amount of true energy in Wang Ke's slender meridians increased. The empty dantian no longer had any true energy, and the massive amount of true energy was all crowded into the meridians, as if they were about to burst at any moment. However, the surging heavenly and earthly spiritual energy did not stop, and amidst the struggling rotation of the true energy, it was refined into a part of the true energy.

  "It's time!"

  Wang Ke closed his eyes, and his heart was excitedly roaring.

  Under his control, a massive amount of true energy seemed to transform into a sharp cone, carrying a fierce aura, quickly surging into another meridian that true energy had never passed through before. This meridian was extremely fine, at least three or four times finer than the previous meridians where true energy circulated. Moreover, in this meridian, gray substances clogged all the acupoints that connected the meridian. If one wanted to allow the true energy to pass smoothly through this meridian, they had to expel the gray substance and unblock the entire meridian.

  Only when this meridian is opened up and the meridian network is expanded to be as wide as the true Qi circulation meridian, can it be considered a breakthrough. This meridian is the route of operation in the third heavy boundary of "Long Xiang", connected with the previous route of operation, forming a huge Zhou Tian operation route.

  A massive surge of true energy burst forth like a bamboo being split open, the strongly stimulated meridians transmitted an intense stinging pain, causing Wang Ke's body to tremble slightly. He was exerting his utmost effort to restrain himself, gritting his teeth tightly.

  If he can break through this meridian at once, he will suffer much less pain, so he must persevere. If he fails to break through this time, all his previous efforts will be in vain and he will have to wait for the opportunity to accumulate his true energy again until it reaches the present level. By that time, the effort required may be three or four times greater than now.

  Two hours later, a foul odor emanated from the surface of Wang Ke's body. His originally bare upper body was now covered with a layer of grayish-black substance, and that foul smell was coming from those grayish-black substances. Moreover, as time continued to pass, the grayish-black substances on his body surface grew more and more abundant, and the stench also became thicker.

  A red sun rises from the horizon and slowly hangs in the eastern sky.

  At seven o'clock, Wang Ke, who had been cultivating for six or seven hours, suddenly shook his body violently, and his eyes snapped open in an instant. Two dazzling rays of light flashed out from his eyes.

  "Hmm..."

  With a mouthful of turbid air exhaled, Wang Ke's face broke into a brilliant smile.

  He broke through, and the "Dragon Elephant" technique finally broke through to the third level. He could feel the surging true energy in his body's meridians, which was at least four times more intense than before. Moreover, the width of that opened-up meridian was comparable to those previously opened-up meridians.

  But his smile had just appeared on his face for a few seconds when it froze, and a pungent smell that made him nauseous rushed to his forehead, almost making him suffocate in an instant. He quickly looked down at his body, and even his hands and arms were covered with grayish-black substances, which made his stomach churn with discomfort.

  Whoosh!

  His figure vanished in an instant from the room, as he forcefully pushed open the bathroom door, and a moment later, he had rushed in.

  In the gurgling sound of water, Wang Ke was refreshed and comfortable, washing his whole body several times, using soap several times, and even using shower gel several times, only then did that stench disappear completely.

  Looking at his own pale and smooth skin, Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: His cultivation had broken through, causing this skin to be much better than before! Could practicing the "Dragon Elephant" technique also have the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating?

  "This time, the Bai Hui acupoint was opened, and my cultivation broke through to the third level of 'Dragon Elephant', my strength should be three or four times stronger than before? And speed, it should be much faster than before, now let alone five or six big men, I'm afraid even if ten or twenty came, I could knock them down." Wang Ke clenched his fist, feeling the surge of powerful energy in his body, that taste made him infatuated, making him almost unable to hold back a long whistle.

  Twenty minutes later, Wang Ke left his room after dressing up.

  In the kitchen, Song Yi was busy, while in the dining room next to the kitchen, Li Ruoxi wore a white sportswear, looking at documents and eating breakfast on the table.

  "Wang Ke, are you up? Everything is almost ready, come and eat quickly!" Song Yi said with a smile as she walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates, seeing Wang Ke's refreshed appearance.

  She knew what had happened last night, although she hadn't seen Wang Ke knock down those five thugs with her own eyes. But having such a guardian angel made her feel safe, so she was even more affectionate towards Wang Ke than before.

  Helping Song's aunt to put all the breakfast on the dining table, Wang Ke had just sat down when Li Ruoxi's eyes sparkled with surprise and asked: "Wang Ke, why do I feel that you've changed a bit from before? Hmm? You really have changed, your skin has improved compared to before! What skincare products are you using?"

  Wang Ke secretly smiled wryly in his heart: he hadn't used any skincare products at all! All of this was caused by the sudden breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

  "What's the use of makeup, it's still the same as before! Did you ever pay attention to my skin? Eating and eating, this boss gave me two days off, I'll finish eating later, and then I have to recite those male texts" Wang Ke hurriedly said.

  Li Ruoxi's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked tentatively: "Is it related to Shu's breakthrough?"

  Wang Ke looked at Li Ruoxi, saw her expression wanting to break through the steel and ask to the end, nodded "en" and then no longer made a sound, lowered his head to eat breakfast.

  "Oh heavens! Is this really the result of a breakthrough in cultivation? Can cultivating also make one beautiful and youthful? Can you teach me your method of cultivation? I want to..."
