With the help of the Luo Family’s second-tier Spirit Vein and a realm-breaking pill, he had relied on the power of both to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out here on the vast, open sea,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye lacked the support of a spiritual ground, had no pills to use, and could only rely on himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truly made Luo Qingjun break out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had used a large number of Spirit Stones to create a temporary spiritual ground, Luo Qingjun wasn’t sure if Su Ye could break through successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I hope he can break through successfully...’ Luo Qingjun prayed silently for Su Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if the breakthrough failed, he would suffer a Magical Power backlash. At best, he would be severely injured; at worst, his cultivation would regress! It could even damage his foundation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Luo Qingjun worried about did not come to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HUMMM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of Magical Power surged forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghostly blue light surrounding Su Ye, a sign of the Ghost Water Skill, suddenly flared brightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the aura of Su Ye’s Magical Power became more condensed and powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth level of Qi Refining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye had smoothly become a Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hooo...\" Su Ye opened his eyes and exhaled a long, turbid breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He withdrew his power, stood up, and dusted off his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side, Luo Qingjun walked over and congratulated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Mr. Su, on your cultivation breakthrough. You’ve taken another step forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Luo Qing’e, he had set aside the pride of an aristocratic scion and was addressing Su Ye as a peer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for standing guard for me, Captain. The epiphany came so suddenly. Please forgive my rudeness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye smiled faintly, showing him due respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Although after achieving Harmony with the Sea Crocodile, his breakthrough had been effortless and completely without risk. He had only done it to avoid causing a scandal. That was why he had deliberately run his Magical Power through a few extra Circulations and taken more time, just to make his breakthrough look a little more normal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, Luo Qingjun’s various concerned actions while standing guard for him still warmed Su Ye’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sincerity for sincerity.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Su Ye’s principle for dealing with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for a while, Luo Qingjun suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Mr. Su, you’re not yet married, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a cousin from the direct family line. Although she’s a mortal, she’s well-read, sensible, beautiful, and talented. She’s just a bit young...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Studying Luo Qingjun’s expression carefully, Su Ye realized there was a hidden motive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And how old might your cousin be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Er... eight...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingjun hastily added, \"But you could get engaged first. After a few years, when she’s grown up, you can hold the wedding ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if you are willing to marry into our family, your treatment will be on par with a direct descendant—if not better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingjun said with utmost sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He could feel Luo Qingjun’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an eight-year-old...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was utterly absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just an engagement felt absurd to Su Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Su Ye politely employed a stalling tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am grateful for your kind offer, Captain, and I have no objections in principle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, your cousin is indeed very young. Why don’t we revisit this in a few years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Luo Qingjun left, Su Ye fell into thought aboard the Sea Crocodile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Marry into the Luo Family?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reputation of a live-in son-in-law wasn’t exactly pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... in the Cultivation World, all great power ultimately comes from within!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye believed that once he reached Foundation Establishment, all rumors would scatter like the wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When that time comes, if he were so inclined, he could even turn the tables and take over the nest...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the benefits of marrying into the family were many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, with the marriage tie, the Luo Family would undoubtedly trust him more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an outsider, the resistance he would face commanding a ship would be greatly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the Harmony ability from his [Ship Panel], as long as Su Ye could command a spirit ship of a higher grade than himself, like the Flying Serpent, he could use its power to ignore bottlenecks and break through rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be of immense benefit to his own cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, as a Foundation Establishment family that had existed for hundreds of years, the Luo Family possessed a large number of skilled sailors, technicians to maintain the Arrays, safe harbors for docking and repairs...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this infrastructure could provide a great deal of help for Su Ye in commanding a spirit ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, in several hundred years, Su Ye refused to believe that the Luo Family hadn’t had any thoughts about building a second-tier spirit ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps they’ve already stockpiled many materials, but are just constrained by their circumstances and lack the resources to begin construction?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But... an eight-year-old... that’s just too absurd...’ The corner of Su Ye’s mouth twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If only I could be matched with a woman from the direct line who’s closer to my age...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A graceful, deep blue figure flashed through Su Ye’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.035Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5701b51657d462634cefb3770586d42a419e5d0f9f23058faaf5cf61b182e0a","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-37","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-35",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
