"How come you've changed so much? Is it a side effect of that injection?"
Jian Ning put away the sword, circled around Xiao Lingfeng, and asked curiously.
"I think so. Didn't you notice anything else?" Xiao Lingfeng stood there, smiling as he asked Jian Ning.
"You've already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?" Jian Ning exclaimed in disbelief as she looked at Xiao Lingfeng. What kind of cultivation speed is this? It's even faster than hers!
"It should be. The gene serum has stimulated my body's potential. Not only has my training speed increased, but I've also gained superpowers," Xiao Lingfeng said, stretching out his hand. Blue lightning flashed in his palm.
It turns out to be a lightning-based superpower.
"You're amazing! Who is this Professor Wang? He's so capable. Does that mean any ordinary human who injects that drug can gain this ability?"
"I'm still exploring how much I can motivate others, but I might be different from ordinary people. Look, I can also access things like you."
As Xiao Lingfeng spoke, a package of compressed biscuits appeared out of thin air. He even has a spatial dimension now; that's truly amazing!
"Alright, stop showing off and hurry home. It's so cold outside. I'll bring some seafood over to your place to welcome you back!" Jian Ning said, then quickly went back into her room.
She was deeply disappointed. Her cultivation was progressing so slowly; Xiao Lingfeng had already surpassed her. No, she couldn't let her disciple get ahead of her. She had to hurry.
He scooped a whole bucket full of seafood from the space and carried it to 1603.
Grandma Wang was overjoyed to see her son return in good health.
She kept asking Xiao Lingfeng what he had been doing all this time. She only let go when Jian Ning brought over the seafood and went to the kitchen.
"I've also lit the stove in the living room, and I'll call Brother Jian and Aunt Li over for dinner in a bit."
"I can only stay at home for two days before I have to go back." Xiao Lingfeng said, as he went to get some wood and lit the stove in the living room, and the room quickly became warm.
"Okay, I'll go call him in a bit. Do you have another mission going back this time?" Jian Ning asked as she took off her coat and sat on the sofa.
"Yes, but I can't say. There's a confidentiality agreement." Jian Ning smiled as soon as Xiao Lingfeng finished speaking.
"I won't ask anymore. You all keep everything secret. Anyway, I'm just an ordinary citizen. I just need to live my own life and don't need to know so many secrets."
He picked up the walkie-talkie that Xiao Lingfeng had placed on the table and called Jian Anping: "Brother, your brother Xiao is back. Come over for dinner with the whole family in a bit."
"Really, why did this kid come back so suddenly? He's coming right away. I'll grab some more good food and make him a couple of dishes."
He hung up the walkie-talkie after saying that, and less than two minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Lingfeng went over and opened the door for him, and saw that Jian Anping was carrying a duck and a goose.
"Brother, I'll have braised goose in an iron pot and a beer-braised duck to welcome you. I'll do the killing, you don't need to."
Without any hesitation, they headed straight for the kitchen.
"Go inside and play with Tian Tian. I see the claw machine is in the bedroom."
"It's warm in there. Your brother and I will go cook. We'll call you when it's done." After saying this, Xiao Lingfeng patted Jian Ning's head and then turned and went to the kitchen.
Why is this person getting handsy? It doesn't fit his aloof image.
Jian Ning swung her fist at Xiao Lingfeng's back, stood up, and went inside to play with Tian Tian.
This meal consisted of twelve dishes, almost as many as the Lunar New Year. It was mostly seafood; Jian Ning even brought king crab. Each dish was exceptionally plump and delicious.
Outside, a cold wind howled, but inside the house it was steaming hot. Jian Anping was so hot that she took off her sweater.
The smile on Tian Tian's face never faded; she was so happy that her uncle was back.
He peeled the crabs and gnawed on the goose meat, eating until his little belly was round and full.
Jian Ning didn't drink today. She really enjoyed the atmosphere of so many people eating together. After she finished eating, she leaned back on the sofa and listened to Jian Anping bragging to Xiao Lingfeng.
If it weren't for the sharp howling of the cold wind outside, one would truly think this wasn't the end of the world. The warm light inside softened Jian Ning's heart.
During the two days Xiao Lingfeng stayed at home, Jian Ning was very busy, teaching him many small spells, all of which were very practical. Spells like Water Ball and Fire Ball were basic introductory spells.
Don't underestimate its low level; it's very practical. At least in this cold weather, you don't have to go outside to collect snow to melt for drinking, and it can also keep you warm.
Xiao Lingfeng was extremely clever; he grasped things almost instantly and soon enough, he was even able to cast the Fire Wall spell.
"You should be careful with outsiders when you use this. Although Professor Wang and the others know you have superpowers, I'm afraid you'll use too many this time, and they might arrest you and study you!"
"I know, don't worry. I'll try my best not to use what you taught me in front of outsiders. Actually, the military's research on superpowers started many years ago."
This was because we were caught in a sudden natural disaster, and in order to preserve our strength, we had no choice but to inject me with the experimental gene serum ahead of schedule. Fortunately, it was quite successful.
The next batch will consist of 100 people, all of whom are outstanding soldiers in the army.
Xiao Lingfeng still revealed some things that could be said to Jian Ning.
"I also hope that the country will get better and better. When are you going back tomorrow? Take more food with you. I see that you have lost a lot of weight in the past month."
As Jian Ning spoke, she waved her hand and took out a lot of ready-made food from her spatial storage.
Fried chicken, hamburgers, braised beef, pork knuckle, pig's trotters, boiled fish, spicy hot pot, bread, ham sausage, instant noodles, eight-treasure porridge, and more than a dozen bags of large steamed buns.
"Keep all of these in your bag, so you don't go hungry."
"Thank you, then I won't be polite." Xiao Lingfeng really didn't have as comprehensive a supply of materials as Jian Ning.
They were all directly stored into their own special ability space.
He then took out a small piece of jade from his pocket and handed it to Jian Ning.
"I heard from the villagers in the mountains that there are jade mines in the mountains."
This is what I got by trading a box of Yaso cookies. If you can use it, you can go and check it out in the mountains.
The exact location is hard to find right now. I'll go with you when the snow melts. Here's a map.
Jian Ning took a look at the jade, which was about the size of an egg and contained a lot of spiritual energy.
Xiao Lingfeng must have sensed that this spiritual energy would also be useful to him, yet he still gave it to me. He's a good disciple who knows how to be filial, and all my hard work in teaching him hasn't been in vain.
"Not bad, I'll accept it. If you find anything useful in the future, you'll definitely get your share." Jian Ning said, then took the map and looked at it. It was drawn crookedly, and she didn't quite understand it.
