Indeed, Xiaoqing's loyalty is now complete.
Having received the medicinal pills, Xiaoqing and Luli exchanged glances. Luli observed that Xiaoqing's gaze towards him resembled how Axiu used to look at him when her loyalty was complete.
Previously, Axiu had the same look in her eyes when her loyalty was full.
"I'm glad I dismissed Chen Kang. Your sister, this servant cannot employ male servants; if their loyalty were to be full and they looked at me like this, I would be covered in goosebumps!"
Luli sighed in relief!
"These four pills are the Tiger Bone Pill, Leopard Tendon Pill, Rhino Shell Pill, and Blood Dragon Pill. One pill of each type daily. Remember!"
"Yes, Young Master, Xiaoqing has remembered them all!"
Xiaoqing eagerly opened the bottles, took out the pills, and, in front of Luli, swallowed them. At this moment, Xiaoqing only wished to become as outstanding as Axiu. Axiu was already approaching the Fourth Meridian Realm, and Xiaoqing was determined to catch up.
In this courtyard, she had the lowest cultivation level. If she didn't strive harder, she would fall behind everyone else.
Luli wasn't in a hurry to leave; he wanted to witness the effects of these pills. Axiu had left immediately after taking the pills, and Luli only saw her again after some time.
With Xiaoqing having consumed the pills, Luli wanted to see up close how quickly the pills took effect.
Unlike Qi Condensation Pills, these four pills were different. After Xiaoqing swallowed them, the medicinal power was immediately absorbed, and Luli could see Xiaoqing's complexion changing almost instantly.
Xiaoqing originally had fair skin, but as a servant girl, she couldn't compare to the pampered young ladies. Her skin was not flawless, with some roughness in certain areas. Luli watched as these rough patches gradually peeled off. After the peeling, her skin underneath became fair, tender, and radiant, emitting a different kind of luster.
"Amazing, if this were on Earth, it would make for the best skincare advertisement!"
"Xiaoqing, do you have any scars on your body?"
Luli asked at this moment. Xiaoqing glanced at him, nodded, and when nodding, her gaze seemed a bit odd. However, Luli only saw her nodding and didn't pay attention to her gaze.
"Let the Young Master see that scar!"
Xiaoqing's face blushed instantly. However, she didn't say much and directly pulled down the clothes on her right shoulder. She pulled down a bit too much, and Luli only realized that he hadn't asked her where the scar was.
The visual impact was quite intense, but fortunately, the scar was just below the shoulder. Luli only saw a bit of exposed skin, and if it were any lower, he would have had to stop this girl immediately.
Indeed, there was a knife scar there, left by Xiaoqing when she was a child. At this moment, the scar was already faint and becoming lighter.
"Young Master, my scar is almost invisible now!"
"Yes, put your clothes back on!"
"Young Master doesn't want to take a longer look?"
Xiaoqing looked at Luli. As long as Luli nodded, she would even be willing to let him see more. In her heart, as she had said, there was only the Young Master, and she belonged to the Young Master.
"You little girl, quickly put on your clothes! Remember, don't tell anyone about these pills, except for the few people in this courtyard!"
"Yes, Xiaoqing understands!"
After putting on her clothes, Xiaoqing continued to silently gaze at Luli. The look in her eyes, similar to Xiaozhao's, made Luli feel like mocking the servant system.
In the evening, along with Bailu's cultivation, Xiaoqing's speed of cultivation was noticeably faster today. Luli could feel it from the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy, and this speed would only increase.
As for the cultivation of the servants, Luli didn't know how astonishing it could be. However, from Axiu and Xiaoqing's progress, Luli could already see some extraordinary aspects.
Axiu broke through to the Fifth Meridian Realm in the latter half of the night, and by the time dawn arrived, Xiaoqing had reached the Third Meridian Realm. The servant girl was extremely joyful. At this moment, looking at Luli, her eyes sparkled like twinkling stars.
In the Lu mansion, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Yike picked up another letter and earnestly began reading. In fact, since this letter arrived at the Lu mansion ten days ago, Lin Yike had already read it numerous times.
Every morning, Lin Yike's first task was to carefully read this letter.
The envelope of the letter read, "Madam, personally sealed," and it was signed by Lusnow.
This was the first letter sent by Lusnow to her family in five years, the only family letter sent by her daughter.
"Father, Madam is well. Snow has been traveling with her master throughout the mainland for the past five years and couldn't send letters back home. Now, having returned to Xinglan Palace, she finally had the opportunity to send a family letter. Please forgive the delay, and Snow will be able to return within fifteen days after receiving this letter!"
...
"Snow deeply misses her family, especially Lidi. I wonder how he is doing lately, and if he is still frail. I have obtained some spiritual medicines from my master and hope they can aid in his recovery."
"Mother, if possible, please help Lidi and his mother as much as you can! Don't let him be bullied by others!"
"Lusnow respectfully sends her regards!"
The letter wasn't long, but Lusnow specifically mentioned Lidi, which puzzled Lin Yike. After all, Lusnow and Lidi didn't have much interaction back then, except for her younger brother Lixiong, who had a bit more interaction with her.
However, in the letter, Lusnow didn't mention Lixiong at all, only bringing up Lidi.
Lin Yike didn't understand why. Calculating the time, Lusnow would return home soon, and since receiving the family letter, Lin Yike had been eagerly looking towards the Lu mansion's gate every day.
"Snow, you don't know. Luli is no longer the same as before. His illness has long since recovered, and now he can practice martial arts. In the last Donglin Grand Competition, he even ranked first, defeating his elder brother Luyan, who died at his hands."
"Now, who dares to bully him? Not even his elder brother!"
"Daughter, why are you so concerned about Luli?"
These questions, perhaps only when Lusnow returns, will they be answered. However, now Lin Yike finally knew which sect Snow had joined, Xinglan Palace, one of the oldest and most mysterious sects in the Western Land, the Seven Star Sect.
Luli naturally didn't read the family letter and didn't know that Lusnow had specifically mentioned him in the letter.
After a few days of cultivation, whether Axiu or Xiaoqing, both progressed rapidly. At this point, Axiu had
reached the Fifth Meridian Realm, and Xiaoqing had reached the Third Meridian Realm.
As for Xiaozhao, she had already broken through to the Ninth Meridian Realm last night, closely following behind Luli. Luli, who knew the cultivation speeds of these three servant girls, couldn't help but marvel.
If outsiders were to learn about their cultivation speeds, their jaws would likely drop.
Luli was still hovering at the peak of the Meridian Formation Realm. At this moment, he vaguely touched upon something, but there was still a lack of understanding. Crossing realms was indeed not an easy task.
It should be noted that many cultivators spend their entire lives without crossing this barrier. The one step separating realms made a vast difference, creating a huge disparity among practitioners.
