However, Xiao Zheng understood, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, "Earlier, I took three whole red elixirs. The power from them was truly imnse. Although I absorbed most of it, a lot still dispersed throughout my body and lay dormant."
"Now, through continuous cultivation... I’ve stirred that dicinal power, awakening it."
Without hesitation, Xiao Zheng began running his Gang Qi to absorb the red power.
Imdiately, the red mist continuously surged into the Gang Qi within Xiao Zheng’s ridians, then was assimilated and digested.
Once this process was completely finished, the Gang Qi within Xiao Zheng’s body had surprisingly strengthened significantly, and his Gang Yuan had expanded greatly!
"My cultivation level has increased again."
Xiao Zheng thought to himself.
However, despite the joy of advancing in cultivation, Xiao Zheng still felt a sense of regret because he sensed a significant obstacle preventing him from reaching the Late Stage Martial Saint.
This obstacle can only be overco through slow cultivation, as haste makes waste.
...
...
After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Zheng got up and walked toward Yunlan Villa. He looked at the sky, noticing the faint light in the east, indicating it was morning.
Upon entering the courtyard, Xiao Zheng saw Chu Xiaoran ditating, facing east, and absorbing the early morning’s essence.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile. Chu Xiaoran had beco much less playful recently and more diligent in cultivation, never missing a day.
As Xiao Zheng stepped into the courtyard, Chu Xiaoran just finished her practice. She opened her eyes, saw Xiao Zheng, and with a cheer, leaped into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Looking down, he saw a pair of eyes as clear as black stones, with long eyelashes fluttering, looking at him, lips rosy, and a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Zheng felt a slight ripple in his heart as he released Chu Xiaoran and ruffled her hair, laughing, "Already grown up, yet still so childish."
Chu Xiaoran pouted with a trace of discontent, "Ah Zheng, you’ve beco so serious lately, not like before at all."
Xiao Zheng was montarily stunned, then laughed. It seed there was indeed a trend of him becoming more ’serious’ recently, perhaps due to all he had been through and now the responsibility of becoming a father.
"Alright, enough ssing around. Let’s go have breakfast." With that thought, Xiao Zheng shook his head and walked toward the living room.
Entering the living room, the maid had already prepared breakfast, set on the table, while Leng Ruobing sat there looking at the Qianqiu Group’s financial report.
Though she was currently pregnant, Leng Ruobing kept a constant eye on the Qianqiu Group’s affairs, personally making decisions on major issues.
Xiao Zheng stepped forward and took the report from Leng Ruobing’s hands, lightly chiding, "You’re a pregnant mom; don’t overwork yourself."
Leng Ruobing replied, "It’s nothing; reading this is no different from resting for ."
Chu Xiaoran rolled her eyes playfully and huffed, "I can’t stand you bookworms."
Leng Ruobing said to Chu Xiaoran, "Co here."
Chu Xiaoran looked puzzled but walked over anyway, asking, "What is it?"
In a surprised cry, Leng Ruobing playfully knocked Chu Xiaoran on the head. Despite being a Martial Artist now, with abilities surpassing even professional athletes’ reflexes, she was no match for Leng Ruobing, an Innate martial artist whose speed was quick.
"You’re just too lazy!" Leng Ruobing teasingly chided with a laugh, "You barely learn what school assigns you, definitely failing your classes."
Chu Xiaoran protested, "Big sis, don’t bring up my flaws, or I’ll tickle you."
Chu Xiaoran was in college, but due to various reasons, she often skipped classes, failing many subjects, making the end of each term a nightmare.
Leng Ruobing’s lips curled into a knowing smile, "Go ahead."
Chu Xiaoran imdiately surrendered, "I give up."
Though pregnant, Leng Ruobing was an Innate Strong Person; Chu Xiaoran was no match, unable to win even by tickling.
Xiao Zheng smiled warmly at the scene, feeling a deep sense of happiness. Having often walked through life-and-death situations, this life was a unique kind of enjoynt.
"By the way, how about we go to the seaside villa this weekend?" During breakfast, Chu Xiaoran suggested.
Considering that Leng Ruobing had been cooped up in the villa for so ti, Xiao Zheng agreed, "Sure."
Chu Xiaoran looked at Leng Ruobing, her face full of pleading. She knew that it was not up to Xiao Zheng; the final decision was with Leng Ruobing.
Leng Ruobing smiled warmly, "Then let’s go."
Chu Xiaoran cheered imdiately.
...
...
Having decided, the group quickly mobilized, booked a seaside villa, and drove there.
The three of them spent a delightful weekend there.
At night.
Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran lay asleep in the room, while Xiao Zheng stepped out of the villa, walking onto the beach. He gazed at the calm sea under the night sky and closed his eyes, starting to breathe slowly.
Gradually, the moonlight showering down from the sky seed to gather on him, enveloping his body in a layer of ethereal glow, looking like an immortal jade figure.
At this level of practice, Xiao Zheng rarely slept at night, choosing instead to cultivate. Now, he was attempting to enter the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, to accelerate his cultivation.
The Unity of Heaven and Man is not a simple state to achieve; even for Xiao Zheng, he failed eight out of ten tis. But tonight, perhaps due to the tranquility from being with Leng Ruobing and the others, he found it particularly smooth!
Buzz!
A barely audible sound was heard, as the Gang Qi inside Xiao Zheng began surging through his ridians, its speed far surpassing normal tis.
Moreover, amazingly, as Xiao Zheng’s Gang Qi surged within, it seed to carry a trace of the ocean’s vastness and boundlessness, making his Gang Qi flow even more rapidly.
