If Ning Fan were to say that he would never return, the eight won would have no choice but to follow him out.
Seeing the eight won bowing their heads in self-bla, Ning Fan comforted them, "You don't need to bla yourselves. It was my mistake to underestimate your determination. Since you've made the choice, I will of course respect it."
Ziyun said happily, "Young Master Ning, rest assured, we maids will definitely take good care of this place."
"Then I will rely on you all."
Not only did he gain a manor for nothing, but he also acquired eight loyal maids. Ning Fan felt his trip was quite worthwhile.
Currently, there is still one matter that needs consideration, and that is the safety of these eight people.
Although the poison creatures in this sea of flowers disappeared due to the Gu Snake's summons,
this valley is vast, and it's hard to be sure there are no survivors.
Previously, because of the presence of the Hu Family, the girls didn't have to worry about being bitten by poisonous creatures, but now it's different.
"At the very least, I need to ensure they have so capability for self-defense to be at ease when I leave."
Ning Fan didn't have high demands for them; they rely needed to cultivate a bit of True Qi to handle poisonous creatures.
"There are still seven days until the agreent with Ma Fei'er. Ti should be sufficient."
Thinking of this, Ning Fan directly stated his thoughts.
Ziyun was imdiately stunned and said, "Young Master Ning, you're saying you want to teach us martial arts?"
"Yes."
Ning Fan nodded, then asked in confusion, "Could it be that you're unwilling?"
"Of course, we're willing."
While the group of won cheered in unison, Cai'er's response was different, "That's great. Young Master Ning can stay a bit longer."
It was only then that the other seven won realized, and pairs of beautiful eyes looked toward Ning Fan, their gazes sowhat intriguing.
"These looks are as if they want to eat ."
Ning Fan shook his head, secretly feeling pleased, "Though to be honest, I like it."
"What ntal thod should I teach them?"
At that mont, Ning Fan recalled the Foundation Building Technique of the Xuan Tian Sect.
Although the Foundation Building Technique is ant to refine Corpse Qi into Spiritual Energy, it doesn't an that True Qi cannot be cultivated directly.
Ning Fan had thought about passing down the Xuan Tian Sect's legacy, and now these eight won were the perfect candidates.
"I'll start by teaching them so basic ntal techniques first."
In this Hundred Flowers Valley, where there's no Corpse Qi, Ning Fan wasn't worried about them going into deviation due to the entry of Corpse Qi.
Moreover, Ning Fan didn't intend to teach them the entire ntal thod.
He only needed to cultivate their Qi sensation and allow them to refine a strand of True Qi.
With this strand of True Qi, even if bitten by poison creatures by accident, they could heal themselves.
At this point, Ning Fan suddenly asked, "Do you know the way out?"
"No."
Ziyun shook her head but then added, "We don't want to know either."
Despite this, Ning Fan still described the cave leading out, fearing they might mistakenly enter it.
Upon hearing Ning Fan's description of the poisonous creatures, even the eight won who were used to Gu Insects were shocked.
"Rest assured. Before I leave, I will clear those poisonous creatures, this way…"
"Please don't clear those poisonous creatures."
Ziyun instinctively blurted out, then explained, "Since the Hu Family placed so many poisonous creatures to guard the cave, we should let it remain as is so we won't be disturbed by outsiders."
"Yes, Young Master Ning. Please leave the poisonous creatures be."
"Hehe! Let these poisonous creatures guard our door, ensuring our safety."
...
Hearing everyone object, Ning Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had only casually ntioned clearing them and was not actually in favor of doing so.
The reason, the sa as the won's, was worry about outsiders mistakenly entering.
Ning Fan instructed, "You must be careful, from now on, never go near that cave. It's too dangerous there."
Ziyun assured, "Young Master Ning, rest assured. Aside from here, we won't go anywhere else."
In the following days, Ning Fan used True Qi to help them refine their bodies and cleanse their ridians, and cultivate Qi sensation.
Of course, this process inevitably involved so intimate contact.
The results were very pleasing.
It's unclear whether the eight won had exceptional talent or if the Xuan Tian Sect's Foundation Building Technique was too powerful, or perhaps Ning Fan taught well.
In just a few days, all eight won had exhibited responses to True Qi, officially becoming Martial Artists in the True Qi Realm.
Watching the won gracefully and easily flipping over rooftops like swallows, Ning Fan smiled and reminded, "Rember the route of True Qi circulation."
"We know."
Due to the won's limited cultivation, Ning Fan only taught them a set of Qinggong.
During the won's training, Ning Fan deliberately circled the valley for inspection.
Apart from poisonous creatures, there were no other dangers here, not even large beasts.
What puzzled Ning Fan was that Lin i once said Lin Batian had traded a Golden Corpse to the Hu Family. Yet he never saw any trace of this Golden Corpse.
"The Golden Corpse must have been fed to the Gu Insects."
Unable to figure it out, Ning Fan stopped worrying about it.
Although the eight won were newcors to the True Qi Realm, they could completely protect themselves here.
Ning Fan didn't need to worry about the won's living needs here.
Like the villages in the Secret Realm, the valley was entirely self-sufficient.
With cultivated lands, livestock, aquatic farms, etc.,
and Ning Fan even found a Hu Family warehouse filled with various living supplies.
The quantities were substantial, enough for the eight won to use for ten years.
Besides the absence of ho appliances, life here was indistinguishable from the outside world.
"With life and safety well ensured, I can leave without worry."
Ning Fan specifically set aside a day to conduct an exam for the eight won.
One was on Qinggong, and the other on the route of True Qi circulation.
Qinggong for their convenience in traveling or escaping.
That True Qi and circulation route was concerning treatnt.
In just a few days, Ning Fan found the larvae of poison creatures in the flower sea.
Fearing that the eight won might be unfortunate enough to be bitten, Ning Fan put significant effort into making sure they morized the circular route perfectly.
The other seven won studied diligently, particularly Ziyun, who even reached the early stage of True Qi and could exhibit Protective True Qi.
However, one individual was holding things back, still failing to learn even the Light Technique.
"Cai'er, follow the thod I taught you, and circulate your True Qi once."
It was Shangguan Cai'er, the youngest and most whimsical of the eight won, who was lagging behind.
The na Shangguan Cai'er sounded elegant, but it wasn't her real na.
Her original na was Zhang Cai, but feeling it too rustic, she gave herself this na.
If not for Ziyun quietly ntioning it, Ning Fan would never have known.
It clearly showed Shangguan Cai'er's whimsical nature.
Having a ticulous mind, her martial arts comprehension was nothing Ning Fan would comnd.
The other won mastered the Light Technique within two days at most, but Shangguan Cai'er hadn't yet.
Ning Fan had no choice but to focus on supplenting her training, emphasizing the treatnt circulation route.
"How many tis have I told you? True Qi first goes through Juque and then converges at the Dantian. Why do you always mix it up?"
With a stern face, Ning Fan said displeasedly, "Do you know that a mistake in the acupuncture point route can lead to a deviation?"
