Hou Diankui laughed happily, pointing at Jiang Qiao, "Look how much this girl favors you. Nothing's even happened yet, and she's already asking for favors on your behalf. You're lucky to have met this girl. I've already discussed this with Xiao Song."

I also have a handwritten copy, which Chunming made himself. The child can understand it. I'll give you both of these. Since we're from the same clan, it's only right that you have them."

Although Jiang Qiao didn't explain it clearly, Hou Diankui knew that this girl had encountered a great opportunity along the way; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to help him improve his cultivation level before.

He also believed that this great opportunity was related to his sect, and as for what it was, he would naturally understand when the girl wanted to tell him.

This time it was Song Shutian's turn to be surprised. "Ah, you two are from the same clan?"

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "So, from now on, we're practically half-brothers. I hope you'll take good care of me."

"I just found out too, Master Hou. Since we both have some time, let me tell you about our sect. Let's talk in your room."

Hou Diankui took out the two books, and Jiang Qiao turned to the last page and handed it to Song Shutian. "Take a look, aren't we from the same sect?"

"My God, how could this happen? Isn't your sect supposed to treat illnesses?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head in confusion. "I don't know either. Anyway, the symbols are the same. As for why the medical skills weren't passed down, I don't know. Maybe those people admired martial arts more, or maybe they thought that if you don't learn medical skills well, you'll harm people. It's hard to say."

Even Song Shutian was surprised to see the symbol that matched the jade pendant. "The fate between you two is truly unbelievable. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything from my side yet. Those people are keeping a close watch on things. Just wait and see—"

Even Song Shutian agreed with Jiang Qiao's statement, and Hou Diankui felt that handing the book over to Jiang Qiao was absolutely the right thing to do.

"How is Chunming?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "You're much more resilient than me. I'll go down to the kitchen now and get some medicine for him to soak in. Brother Song, you too, let's go. You know people, so I don't need to bother with that."

Song Shutian checked the time. "Perfect timing. Let's go downstairs for dinner first, then we'll buy the medicine and brew it for me tonight."

We ate lunch at the guesthouse. After lunch, I sent a portion to Chunming, and the three of us went out to buy things together.

Buying medicine quickly is important. Jiang Qiao has some, and the pharmacy at the military hospital has some. Even if it's not for Chunming's sake, Song Shutian should buy the medicine as soon as possible for his own sake.

Hou Diankui didn't need them to come with him, so Jiang Qiao and the others came back first to brew the medicine. Chunming was woken up by Jiang Qiao and asked to go and watch the medicine. After it was ready, Chunming took a bath first, while she gave Song Shutian acupuncture.

When Hou Diankui returned, the two of them were taking a bath. The bathtub was borrowed by Song Shutian, who probably knew someone in the army.

Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui were idly sitting in the room, drinking tea and looking at his day's deliveries.

In Jiang Qiao's eyes, magical artifacts are also antiques. However, the origins of these antiques differ, and the ones Hou Diankui buys are mostly things with some merit.

"Sigh, I only knew these things were antiques before, I never thought they had this function."

"That's right. Not everything can be brought home. You should learn from me properly in the future. After all, we are from the same school. You don't need to know everything about this, but you should at least understand some of it."

Jiang Qiao smiled and took out the book Hou Diankui had given her to read. She didn't plan to pursue the path of martial arts cultivation, but her family members could give it a try. She didn't expect to live forever; she just wanted to improve her health and prevent others from bullying her. She didn't ask for much.

However, Jiang Qiao became more and more puzzled as she looked at it. "Master Hou, what level can I achieve after learning this? Immortality or invulnerability?"

Hou Diankui smiled and shook his head. "It's not as mysterious as you say. It's just internal energy cultivation methods and techniques. However, different people will reach different levels of skill when they practice. That's the difference between a thug and a master. As for immortality, that's all nonsense."

"Is there a saying that the things your master left behind can make people become gods or immortals?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I haven't heard of it. Our grandmaster is dead, let alone these younger generations. I haven't heard of anyone becoming a Great Immortal. So why would anyone fight over this thing? What does strength or weakness represent? Can anyone rule the world?"

Hou Diankui swallowed the tea in his mouth. "That's wishful thinking. I reckon it's all just for fame and fortune."

To put it simply, as my cultivation level has improved, the arrays and formations I set up become more effective, the protective talismans I carve become more protective, and of course, they also make my body stronger. That's all.

As for others, I can't say. Perhaps they pursue higher goals, or maybe their objectives are what you just asked about. Anyway, I just can't understand them.

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "People's thoughts are really different. The pursuit of immortality may be the goal that some people pursue their whole lives. Wasn't Qin Shi Huang like that?"

He glanced at his watch. "Master Hou, it's almost time. Could you go down and check?"

After Hou Diankui left, Jiang Qiao quickly took out a few pills from her spatial storage and told Song Shutian and Chunming to take them as soon as they came in.

“You two can’t compare to Master Hou. He started practicing from a young age. This medicine will help you with your Qi cultivation.”

After Jiang Qiao said what to do and these two people did what Hou Diankui did, he took them to his room for training.

This was no longer Jiang Qiao's concern. She was currently pondering the two books Hou Diankui had given her. In fact, she had tested them out, and it seemed that what was written in the books had no effect on her. Her internal energy was already quite abundant, and she herself couldn't even say what level she was at. Moreover, the source of her internal energy was somewhat different from what was written in the books.

Anyway, she couldn't explain what was going on or which one was better. She couldn't tell. As things stood, she was doing fine the way she was doing. At least, it was easy and convenient to use.

Jiang Qiao felt that although she didn't need this, she could leave it for the family members.

When I saw Song Shutian after dinner, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

"How about it?"

Song Shutian puffed out his chest and said proudly, "There's no better feeling than this. Master Hou said that the moves on this are fixed, but the ones we're practicing right now are more suitable for me."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "I think so too. Current fighting techniques have been simplified a lot based on the experience of our predecessors. As long as you feel comfortable using them, that's fine. Actually, Master Hou and I just want you to be stronger than before and be able to protect yourself. We have no other intentions."

Alright, you've been practicing for half a day. Have some water, then we'll go down for lunch in a bit—"
