Aunt Gongsun Hui, born to a prominent family, was of course not going to spoil Wang Luomiao without principle.
She ignored her, letting her be angry on her own.
Then she shared a cheerful meal with Wang Luoyi and Wang Shouzhe, their jovial idle chat making the atmosphere very agreeable.
“Aunt, this is the belly of an Iron-backed Wild Pig. It’s been boiled to perfection; fat but not greasy, tender but not mushy, it just melts in the mouth. Please have a taste.” Wang Shouzhe used public chopsticks to take a piece of nice meat for Gongsun Hui, and he vividly described its flavor.
“Gulp…” Wang Luomiao, off to the side and sulking, swallowed her saliva involuntarily.
“Sister, did you make this fried pork tenderloin yourself?” Wang Shouzhe praised while eating, “The degree to which it’s cooked is like a masterstroke, fresh and delicious, as if savouring the taste of an immortal’s delicacy.” “Just eat, why do you talk so much?” Wang Luoyi rolled her eyes impatiently, then glanced at Wang Luomiao sympathetically, her little mouth almost drooling.
“Big brother, Miaomiao wants to eat too.” Unable to resist any longer, Wang Luomiao cried out and pounced toward the dining table.
Unfortunately, her little head was held back by Wang Shouzhe’s finger, he grinned and said, “Say ‘good big brother’, otherwise you get nothing.”
“Good big brother.” Unable to resist the temptation of food, Wang Luomiao finally surrendered.
Only then did Wang Shouzhe laugh and pick her up, put her on the chair, and start to pick meat and vegetables for her. The little girl had been starved, she gulped down her food. The meal was incredibly delicious.
After dining to their hearts’ content, the entire family sat and chatted while sipping tea.
When Wang Shouzhe was about to leave, Wang Gui, the young servant boy, carried many things, all meat, clothing, shoes, and so on.
Wang Luoyi usually has quite a leisurely life, she recently has not ventured far from home, and in her spare time, she sewed several clothes for him. While gratefully accepting, Wang Shouzhe again urged Wang Luoyi to take cultivation seriously.
Furthermore, he even asked Gongsun Hui to focus on cultivation, not to delay her cultivation base.
That night.
Wang Shouzhe sat cross-legged in his room, entering cultivation mode.
Daily cultivation of ‘Xuan Yuan Technique’ is an indispensable routine. The path to the Spirit Platform has always been a step by step process, and there is no room for slackening.
However, today’s cultivation was different from usual.
He usually uses the Xuan Yuan Technique to circulate his inner energy, refine his bodily fluids and energy, and strengthen his body and Xuanqi (mysterious energy). At most, he might take a ‘Little Pei Yuan Dan’ once a month as a supplement to his cultivation. However, this time, he held a Spirit Stone in his hand.
The Spirit Stone felt slightly cold in his palm, and he could sense some mysterious and mystical energy contained within.
He circulated his Xuanqi, let it interact with the Spirit Stone.
Suddenly.
The energy within the Spirit Stone was activated, and it emitted a faint light. Wang Shouzhe quickly sucked in his palm and drew the energy into his body.
“Hiss! This is unbelievable!”
The energy had an intense stimulating effect on his body, causing tremors throughout his body for several moments. Not wanting to waste it, he forcefully suppressed the peculiar sensation, enveloped the energy and began to circulate his inner energy.
At the end of each cycle, his internal energy and blood surged, as if it was a complete cleansing, and the Xuanqi gushing in his Qi Sea became stronger and purer by a point.
After more than two hours and four cycles later.
Wang Shouzhe’s meridians and acupoints were hurting to the point of swelling, he slowly stopped using the technique, not daring to cultivate any more. The swelling and pain in the meridians and acupoints indicate a certain limit.
If he insisted on cultivating more, it would not only be unprofitable but also harmful to his body. It’s essential to rest and let the body gradually recover, before conducting the next round of cultivation.
Therefore, when cultivating internals, it can only be done at a pace of once a day. In Wang Shouzhe’s understanding as a transmigrator, the body needs time to cool down and recover, needs to replenish with meat to strengthen its energy and blood, and should not be overexploited.
But the result of this round of cultivation was very satisfying to Wang Shouzhe, though a large part of his internal energy was consumed, the newly generated Xuanqi in his Qi Sea became even more robust and pure.
It’s noteworthy that his diet has been so good recently that his internal energy and blood remained at their peak. Even if he cultivated relentlessly every day, it was still impossible to completely deplete his energy and blood.
Yet this round of cultivation gave him a vague sense of deprivation of his energy and blood.
This must be the result of the Spirit Stone’s energy aiding cultivation, Wang Shouzhe looked at the Spirit Stone that was slightly dimmed, he sighed in his heart, the energy of the Spirit Stone was an enormous help to him, it can both replenish part of his energy and blood, and stimulate his body’s acupoints together with Xuanqi, achieving the purpose of strengthening himself.
If this goes on, it won’t take long to reach the peak of the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Six and he can try to break through to Level Seven.
It’s a pity, although there’s a significant improvement, this method of cultivation is very extravagant.
A single Spirit Stone is worth over a hundred Qian Gold, how long can he use it for? Although he cannot estimate this at present, he believes that long-term use of Spirit Stones for cultivation would definitely be a significant expense.
However…
Wang Shouzhe thought of his grandniece, Wang Licui. Recently, under his relentless “encouragement”, she not only began to show ambition, but also awakened a unique talent for food.
With this thought, he couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
He took a bath and went to bed.
As dawn approached the next day, Wang Shouzhe got up and practiced his movement techniques, fighting techniques, swordsmanship, and archery. As a young clan leader, he had a small martial arts practice field not far from his courtyard where he spent his entire childhood.
His achievements at such a young age were not just attributed to his bloodline talent or his role as a young clan leader. His basic movement techniques, fighting techniques, swordsmanship, and archery were all refined to perfection. Even more, he had achieved little success in the secret techniques of the Wang family, the middle-grade Willow Catkin Body Method and the middle-grade Mysterious Element Sword.
This was a result of his stern father Wang Dingyue’s urging, as well as his own hard work.
The family’s techniques, movement methods, fighting techniques, etc., were all brought out of the Longzuo Wang family by Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan when he headed south with the Expansion Order.
Techniques and fighting methods passed down are equally very important to a family’s foundation. For example, the Wang family’s main cultivation method, the “Xuan Yuan Technique”, consists of the Qi Refining Chapter and the Spirit Platform Chapter. This is enough for family members to follow to the end of the Spirit Platform path and step into the path of celestial beings.
However, the transmission of such inheritance is extremely strict. Firstly, family members are forbidden from spreading it outside. Secondly, if someone who has stolen the inheritance is discovered, it would be a serious matter.
Women who marry into other families are also not allowed to teach these techniques to their husbands’ families. Any family with a little bit of sense would never make such a request, but would instead prevent such things from happening.
If they didn’t, conflicts would arise between the two families. In the worst-case scenario, the perfectly good relationship between families would be completely broken, turning both sides into bitter enemies.
The family caught stealing another’s techniques and fighting methods would lose all credibility, unable to find a footing anywhere. Who would dare to intermarry with this kind of family that doesn’t understand the rules? No family wants their secret techniques to become someone else’ s simply because of a marriage.
Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan came from the Longzuo Wang family, and a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Longzuo Wang family were a branch of the Great Qian Wang clan. Therefore, although the Wang family’s Xuan Yuan Technique is just a middle-grade cultivation method, it is considered good within the Changning Garrison region.
At most, only one-third of the families there possess a core inheritance cultivation method of middle grade.
As for Old Ancestor Longyan, she used to practice the “Wang Family Xuan Yuan Technique”. After she eventually advanced to the Spirit Platform in the Purple Abode Academic Palace, she was taken in as a disciple by Master Binglan and started practicing the top grade “Mysterious Ice Technique”. Since the mysterious energy refined by the Wang Family’s Xuan Yuan Technique is harmonious and neutral, it’s not too difficult to switch to other cultivation methods.
However, Longyan, a person of capricious strength, didn’t dare to pass the “Mysterious Ice Technique” to the family at all. Doing so would not help the family, but instead, would lead them to destruction.
With the means of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, they could wipe out the Ping’an Wang family, and no one would dare to say a word.
As for the inheritance of cultivation techniques, we’ll leave it aside for now.
Wang Shouzhe had been busy with clan affairs recently. While he managed to cultivate in meditation consistently, he indeed neglected many of his physical techniques and fighting skills. Concentrating on cultivation base without practicing physical techniques and fighting skills would only make one a hollow shell.
Not to mention Wang Shouzhe, who is the pillar of the family and is walking on the path of the Spirit Platform. Every male member of any bloodline of the family must diligently practice these physical techniques and fighting skills.
Previously, the girls in the family were required to practice a little less, explaining why gluttonous Wang Licui, who had reached the high segment of level two in the Vital Energy Refining Realm, was just an empty shell, and could only bully commoners.
However, Wang Luoqiu gave him a lot of pressure and motivation. Her adolescent energy was quite scary, and she undoubtedly spent a lot of time practicing every day.
In the future, if she accidentally turned the tables, where would his pride, Wang Shouzhe, be? Seeing how she lambasted her own brother, Wang Shoulian, one could tell it wouldn’t end well.
Fight on!
Wang Shouzhe began to practice, drenched in sweat.
His personal servant, Wang Gui, also started to cultivate with him. For some reason, his motivation to cultivate was even stronger than before, and he gave it his all.
Meanwhile.
At the biggest martial practice field in the main residence, a group of young boys and girls were also pouring out their youth and sweat.
Wang Luoqiu’s youthful and somewhat domineering voice echoed, “Wang Luo Jing, why are you slacking off? Is being an Insect Master such an extraordinary thing? If you don’t properly practice your fighting techniques and body skills, once my unmatched imposing body gets near you, I’ll suppress you in minutes.”
“Wang Shou Yong, Wang Shoulian, the family rankings are about to start, the future Emperor’s Road is looming, if you don’t fight, how can you compete with the various Sky Prides for that glint of divine knowledge!”
“I, Wang Luoqiu, will surely sweep through my generation, fight through the Sky Prides, and dominate the world.”
Oh, my sister!
Wang Shoulian’s tears were streaming down his face, full of regret. He really shouldn’t have given Wang Luoqiu the handwritten copies of the legendary stories that were circulated among the boys.
Just look at her and how much she’s into it now? She keeps talking about “suppressing Sky Prides”, and “sweeping through the world”.
We are just a Rank 9 uncelebrated prominent family from the countryside.
Shouldn’t our life goals be set a little smaller?
