However, the simplest thing Wang Sheng could now do with Sword Flight was the so-called “Stepping Sword Flight.”
Even if the sword was exchanged for any other object, it would be the same.
Thus, if one truly spoke of it, whether it involved Sword Control or not, it wasn’t that important.
Wang Sheng felt that Stepping Sword Flight did not count as true Sword Control.
While stepping on the sword, one couldn’t avoid anything in the air or wild winds; one could only rely on one’s own body to withstand it.
These were still minor issues.
Most importantly, while using Stepping Sword Flight, one must rely on one’s own balance to control the body and keep from falling off the flying sword.
Using Divine Thought to stabilize the body, however, would encounter the initial difficulty he had faced when trying to control his own body to fly.
To Wang Sheng, this form of flight, which seemed like Sword Control but was actually “stepping,” was not very meaningful.
In that case, it would be better to find a large iron plate, sit on it, and it would be much better than any Sword Control.
However, Wang Sheng quickly realized something.
He probably hadn’t mastered the true essence of “Sword Control”; he could only use the clumsiest method.
But his days of research hadn’t been entirely fruitless.
Because he had updated a new progress bar.
“Sword Flight: 1 (2%)”
Though it was merely First Grade, and not easy to improve, with the progress bar, he could eventually perfect Sword Flight.
It was even possible to achieve the Rainbow Transformation Technique.
The Rainbow Transformation Technique, a divine skill from the legends of the Golden Crow race, twelve thousand miles in one escape.
To know that the Somersault Cloud only jumps eighteen thousand miles shows the terrifying aspect of the Rainbow Transformation Technique.
Crucially, twelve thousand miles is just an allegory, not really just a jump of twelve thousand miles; it more broadly expresses how far the Rainbow Transformation Technique could fly.
In fact, the distance covered in one escape is far more than twelve thousand miles.
That is not something mortals can specifically imagine.
Although Wang Sheng’s current “Stepping Sword Flight” was limited by Divine Thought, capable of only a few hundred miles, it didn’t stop him from dreaming.
What if he succeeded?
Thus, “Stepping Sword Flight” became a daily activity for Wang Sheng.
He continuously improved during the flight process.
Time moved on to the New Year.
It was another lively New Year, and life in the village was quite good.
After the New Year, Wang Sheng continued to cultivate, wanting to Breakthrough several Martial Arts that were about to break their limits.
But not many days into his cultivation, Li Yongfeng sought him out.
“Is there something the matter, Brother Yongfeng?”
“I’d like to ask you to help request Mr. Yue!”
Normally, Mr. Yue made no secret of it, everyone knew that Yue was a follower of Wang Sheng.
“Yue, why?”
A smile of happiness appeared on Li Yongfeng’s face as he said, “It’s actually not a major issue, it’s just that your sister-in-law is pregnant.
In the fort, only Old Ji and Doctor Xu Qu are physicians, but I went to them, and they don’t understand these matters, so I could only look for Mr. Yue to help get some medicine to preserve the pregnancy…”
“Yue knows about this?”
Li Yongfeng nodded and said, “Mr. Yue taught these things during his lessons, that’s why I came to ask.”
He wouldn’t normally bother Yue and Wang Sheng.
But it involved his own wife’s pregnancy, so that’s why he came.
Wang Sheng knew that Yue taught in the village school, and many people attended his lectures.
But he never expected Yue to know these things.
However, if he knew, Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t refuse, so he said, “Brother Yongfeng, I’ll go with you!”
The relationship between Li Yongfeng and himself was not ordinary; he had to go and look for himself.
Soon, the two found Yue.
Wang Sheng himself having come to ask, Yue knew this was important to Wang Sheng and naturally agreed; the three of them went to Li Yongfeng’s home together.
Li Yongfeng was the only son in his family, naturally, there was no division of property.
However, after marrying Zhang Xue, he had renovated their house, so his home might be the biggest in the village.
Soon they met Zhang Xue.
Aunt Li, Li Yongfeng’s mother, was taking care of her, Zhang Xue seemed somewhat helpless, but there was nothing she could do.
Wang Sheng immediately discerned Zhang Xue’s martial artist stage.
Second Grade Martial Artist.
Even Aunt Li had become a First Grade Martial Artist, and her essence, energy, and spirit had greatly improved.
It seemed she had taken Wang Sheng’s advice from last time.
Zhang Xue still had room to improve, but Aunt Li, that was difficult; even Wang Sheng had no way to help.
After all, Aunt Li and Uncle Li had embarked on the martial artist’s path too late.
But this visit wasn’t out of concern for that, it was to check on Zhang Xue’s pregnancy.
Wang Sheng also had some medical knowledge; in his view, Zhang Xue should be fine.
However, he couldn’t be completely certain, so he directly asked Mr. Yue to inspect her condition.
Zhang Xue was somewhat nervous.
To have a Grandmaster come to see her pregnancy was an unusually great honor.
“Mr. Yue!” she called out respectfully.
Mr. Yue nodded slightly and said, “Extend your wrist!”
Without hesitation, Zhang Xue extended her wrist.
Soon, Mr. Yue had completed his examination.
“The fetus is very healthy, and the mother is also in good health; there will be no accidents. Additionally,” Mr. Yue glanced at Li Wenguang who had just returned from slaughtering chickens, “she can supplement her diet but should not exceed the necessary amounts, otherwise, even a martial artist could face difficulties during childbirth. Let me prescribe an elixir to maintain the pregnancy.”
Li Yongfeng hurriedly brought over some paper and a pen.
Mr. Yue quickly wrote down a prescription.
“This prescription is to be taken every three days, not more; it’s greatly beneficial for both child and mother.”
“Thank you, Mr. Yue!”
Li Yongfeng, having attended classes, knew just how astonishing Mr. Yue’s knowledge was, and knew the prescription Mr. Yue provided was extraordinary.
Wang Sheng thought for a moment and then said, “Yue, is there a way to enhance the child’s foundation without harming the mother?”
He knew well that both Zhang Xue and Li Yongfeng greatly valued this child.
Thus, what was good for the child was truly what was good for them.
After pondering, Mr. Yue replied, “There is, but it requires the use of Spiritual Medicine.”
“Which kinds?”
“Blood Storage Flower, Water Grass…” Mr. Yue listed five types of Spiritual Medicine.
Wang Sheng listened and checked them off, soon realizing the village’s supply of Spiritual Medicine seemed sufficient for three types.
The remaining two weren’t particularly rare and could perhaps be obtained from the Three Great Families.
“I understand!”
It appeared he needed to make a trip to the martial exchange next January.
Li Yongfeng himself also noted down these medicinal herbs.
He planned to inquire about them next time.
After settling matters here, Mr. Yue promptly returned.
He was always meditating; it was unknown exactly what he was cultivating.
Wang Sheng stayed a while longer, giving some guidance to Li Yongfeng’s family, before also departing.
It seemed as though the matter had concluded.
But neither Li Yongfeng’s family nor anyone else anticipated the village chief’s concern for the newborn.
“This is the first child born in three years!”
A newborn child represented hope anywhere.
Currently, in Qingshan Village, there weren’t many children under six who hadn’t attended school, only eight, four fewer than those currently in school.
Since settling in Qingshan Village, Li Yongfeng’s family was the only potential newcomer with a newborn.
The village chief couldn’t help but attach great importance and readily offered any necessary assistance.
Originally, Li Yongfeng wanted to decline any help, but recalling Mr. Yue’s prescription, he then said, “Chief, I hope to obtain some Spiritual Medicine in advance…”
How exactly the village chief agreed, Wang Sheng wasn’t particularly sure.
But after the martial exchange in January, he found Li Yongfeng with Great Elixirs he had refined.
Refining the formula for someone with Divine Thought Control was not much of a challenge, so after obtaining all the necessary materials, he quickly produced them.
“Brother Yongfeng, this is the elixir refined from Mr. Yue’s last prescription, ten pills in total, one a month, ensuring full-term and benefiting both mother and child.” Seeing that Li Yongfeng was about to say something, he immediately added, “Between us, there’s no need for words!”
Unable to refuse this gesture, Li Yongfeng accepted it.
With the support of two powerful figures, his child was destined not to be ordinary…
