The first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist and gently bathed the tranquil village, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter day.
Liu Feng, dressed in a light blue training uniform, walked briskly towards the large locust tree in front of the door.
At this moment, Liu Fei and Lin Hao were warming up in the morning light, their punches whistling through the air, full of youthful vigor.
With a faint smile on his lips, Liu Feng stepped between the two. He took a deep breath, and the profound spiritual energy within his body naturally flowed out, like a spring breeze caressing his face, silently nourishing the surrounding air.
"Today, we will continue to cultivate the Innate Skill and strive to break through to the Sensing Stage," Liu Feng said.
He slowly raised his hand, palm facing the sky, and gently guided it. It seemed as if a mysterious force was drawing him in, and a wisp of spiritual energy from the surrounding thousand miles gradually gathered and surrounded him.
Under Liu Feng's careful guidance and with the assistance of the Xuanling Qi, Liu Fei and Lin Hao followed Liu Feng's example, closing their eyes, concentrating their minds, adjusting their breathing, and immersing their souls in tranquility, trying to capture the faint, ethereal Qi in the air.
Time passed by, second by second.
Their minds gradually calmed down, and they were able to sense the subtle energy fluctuations in the air, establishing a delicate connection with the surrounding天地气 (heaven and earth energy).
Finally, a faint sense of energy arose within their bodies, a sign that spiritual energy was beginning to enter them, marking their first step on the path of cultivation.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, broken only by the distant sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking.
Liu Feng closed his eyes and concentrated. With his profound cultivation, he clearly sensed the subtle changes in the spiritual energy within Liu Fei and Lin Hao's bodies.
They were given guidance from time to time to help them stabilize their Qi and guide the spiritual energy to flow slowly and continuously in their meridians.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the bamboo forest and fell upon them, Liu Fei and Lin Hao opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes sparkling with surprise.
They felt a faint but real flow of energy circulating within their bodies, proof that they had successfully sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and an important milestone on their cultivation path.
"Congratulations on reaching the realm of perception." Liu Feng's smile was warm and encouraging.
He knew that this was only the beginning of his cultivation journey, and the upcoming Qi Induction stage would be an even more difficult and lengthy process.
If this news were to reach the martial arts world, it would surely make those martial arts masters extremely envious.
After all, it is not easy to reach such a level of "external training of muscles and bones, and internal cultivation of breath".
Before long, it was noon, and the sunlight became soft and warm.
Liu Feng prepared a Marrow Cleansing Pill for Liu Yue to help her wash away the impurities. After taking the pill, Liu Yue was transformed, becoming like a lotus emerging from the water, radiating youth and vitality.
This made the beauty-loving Liu Yue extremely happy.
Afterwards, Liu Feng patiently taught the three Wudang Sanshou and Qinna techniques, with the aim of enabling them to master self-defense skills.
After a period of rigorous training, Liu Feng encouraged the three of them to spar with each other.
So Liu Fei and Lin Hao joined forces, using their newly learned techniques to tease Liu Yue, making her dodge left and right, filling the entire courtyard with laughter.
Finally, He Qunfang yelled, "Liu Yue, how old are you? Why are you still fooling around with your two younger brothers? Hurry up and come back to clean the house!"
The "battle" is over.
Liu Yue took the lead and began cleaning the house.
Wearing a headscarf and holding a broom, she carefully swept every corner.
In those days, most houses in rural areas were made of adobe or brick and tile, and the ground was still soil.
While busy, He Qunfang muttered to herself, "It's almost Chinese New Year, so we need to clean the house thoroughly to welcome the new year."
Lin Hao ran around excitedly in the yard, watching the adults busy at work, and he longed to help as well.
He saw Liu Yue cleaning, so he picked up a rag and started wiping the table.
The table was made of wood and was worn in some places, but it was filled with warm memories in this home.
Although the family is now wealthy, Liu Feng has no plans to replace the table.
evening.
Liu Changqing drove his SUV home.
Now the car is basically requisitioned by Liu Changqing. Once someone who has learned to drive is not allowed to drive, he feels listless wherever he goes.
On the bus, Liu Changqing bought a lot of New Year's goods.
He worked at the spicy snack workshop this year and was busy until the day before the Lunar New Year before he got a holiday. Naturally, he received a lot of wages and benefits.
Each worker received a leg of lamb and some beef.
Liu Changqing also brought some back and went to the market to buy some New Year's goods.
As soon as Liu Fei and Lin Hao saw Liu Changqing return, they eagerly rushed to carry the large and small bags from the car into the house.
He Qunfang happily accepted the wages handed over by Liu Changqing, beaming with joy, without grumbling about how Liu Changqing had bought so many things.
Seeing this, Liu Feng said with a hint of joking, "Mom, look at this, Dad bought a lot this time. How long will we be able to eat it? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue immediately understood Liu Feng's implied meaning and quickly chimed in, "That's right, Mom, especially those five big lamb legs, how could our family possibly finish them all!" As she spoke, she playfully winked at Liu Feng.
Liu Fei and Lin Hao also came over, shaking their heads and saying, "I don't like lamb, it's too gamey!"
Liu Yue watched her mother with anticipation, ready to see how He Qunfang would "educate" her father.
Unexpectedly, He Qunfang changed the subject and laughed, "Hehe, these lamb legs are just right, not too many!"
"Ah! Not much?" Liu Yue looked at He Qunfang in disbelief, feeling that something was amiss.
At this moment, Liu Changqing said, "Your mother asked you to buy this lamb leg, how could there be too much?"
He Qunfang said, "It's not much. If you don't like it, you can give it to your maternal grandparents. Your great-grandparents love lamb hot pot. I also had your dad buy a lot of sweet potato noodles to go with it!"
"Oh—I see!"
Liu Yue suddenly realized, and her original "watching the show" mentality instantly transformed into anticipation for the upcoming delicious food. She excitedly chimed in, "Mom, I actually really like lamb hot pot with glass noodles too!"
"Okay, tomorrow is New Year's Day. Whatever you want to eat, Mom will make it for you!" He Qunfang said with a smile.
