"Not bad, it seems you haven't completely lost your ambition by indulging in frivolous pursuits."
Mikoto's cool voice carried a hint of pleasure.
"Look at what Master is saying, as if I'm some kind of spoiled brat!" Zhu Yi retorted, asking blankly, "Master, are you saying what I do for fun? I'm busy every day."
Zhu Yi counted on her fingers, showing off one item after another to Master Yu Jing: "Now, every night I keep watch over Shan Shan, and occasionally I go to the morning market stalls. During the day, I go to the alchemy room to research Gu poison and refine pills. In the evening, I practice swordsmanship for an hour or two. After dinner, I go to the bottom of Lotus Lake to practice magic..."
"I know, I can tell you've made great progress just by looking at your complexion lately."
Master Yujing looked Zhu Yi up and down: "I'm just curious. You do so many things every day, which is quite different from the other disciples."
Zhu Yi choked for a moment, a little confused. What exactly did Master mean?
"What I'm saying is that the cold noodles last time were quite good."
For a fleeting moment, Zhu Yi broke down, her mouth opening and closing, unsure of what to say, finally managing to stammer, "Then I'll make it and bring it over at noon..."
"Yes, two portions."
……oh.
Master Yujing answered Zhu Yi's question, explaining that the Body Refining and Soul Condensation Technique was best practiced in conjunction with the powerful wires of the Discipline Hall. The powerful wires could maximize a person's potential, allowing Zhu Yi to expand and strengthen the meridians throughout her body during cultivation. As her dantian continued to expand, it would be able to store more spiritual energy.
In other words, at the same cultivation level, the person with a more solid and larger dantian will have stronger combat power.
"What you need to pay extra attention to is that you have received the reward from the Heavenly Dao Stele. The gifts from the Spirit Realm are contained within you, which will require you to spend more time refining your body and condensing your soul."
"Master is amazing! This disciple is the new opportunity I encountered when I was performing the exorcism of vengeful spirits at Black Fiend Mountain! Waaah?"
"Waaah?" Zhu Yi wanted to say that it was a golden lotus seed that had descended from the Heavenly Dao Stele, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say it.
Yu Jing understood, “Since it is an opportunity from the Heavenly Dao, you are allowed to use it quietly. It’s better not to tell everyone about your opportunity, as that’s not good for you.”
In fact, Master Yujing did not know what gift Zhu Yi had received, but with his Mahayana cultivation and insight, he intuitively felt that the gift would not be ordinary. Therefore, when he was revising the Body Refining and Soul Condensation Technique, he consulted many notes left by powerful beings in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Why couldn't Zhu Yi speak? It's simple. The Azure Phoenix wouldn't allow her to speak. Originally, Zhu Yi only had a single lotus petal, but the Azure Phoenix generously gave her a golden lotus seed, so of course it had to keep her silent.
The Azure Phoenix, a divine bird from the spirit world, was fast asleep when it suddenly sneezed, turned over, and continued sleeping.
Outside the courtyard, Jinbao was playing happily in the water. Zhu Yi and Yu Jing Zhenren chatted for half the morning until Zhu Yi's stomach started rumbling. Zhu Yi went back and made four servings of cold noodles, two for Yu Jing Zhenren, one for herself and one for Weiwei, and one seafood porridge for Jinbao.
In the streets of Anyuan Town, Lin Hengjin helped manage Zhu Yi's shop. He and Wenji arranged the shop inside and out according to Zhu Yi's blueprints.
When the two finished work, they unexpectedly ran into Shu Chen, who was looking after houses nearby.
From a distance, Lin Hengjin could see that Shu Chen was accompanied by a middleman who was introducing the house.
"Immortal Lord, what do you think of this three-courtyard house? It's backed by two streets of morning market, at a convenient distance. It's easy for you to stroll around in your free time in the morning, and the noise from the market won't reach here too much, so it won't disturb your family's rest." A middle-aged man in a brown jacket enthusiastically introduced the advantages of the house to Shu Chen.
Shu Chen listened attentively, her sharp eyebrows furrowed, as if she were considering whether the house was suitable.
Seeing that Shu Chen didn't respond, everyone felt a little awkward and unconsciously reconsidered the advantages of this house. For cultivators, noise was not a big deal. They could easily create a protective shield and protect their home from lightning strikes.
After thinking for a moment, the man said, "Immortal Lord, the former owner of this residence was also a cultivator. The residence still retains the spirit-gathering array and protective array from the original owner's tongue. These are excellent and will make things much more convenient for you and your family when you move into this residence."
Shu Chen snapped out of her reverie, a slight smile playing on her lips as she savored the words "family." In her sweet dream last night, Weiwei had shyly embraced her, whispering sweet nothings. Her glistening red lips, her delicate and defined collarbones, and the long, unforgettable night were truly captivating.
Inside the courtyard with its black tiles and white walls, there is a nearly two-hundred-year-old sycamore tree. A swing can be tied to its crooked branches, where graceful young girls can swing in the summer...
