Even Uncle Fu was quite surprised when he saw it.
"Young Master, you're back?"
Upon returning, Su Feng saw Chen Xing carrying a thick stack of clothes, hanging them out to dry one by one in the yard. She looked refreshed and had a bright smile on her face.
"Hmm," Su Feng nodded, "What about Chen Yue?"
"My sister just heated up the food, but it's not mealtime yet, so she went to the young master's study to study... I hope the young master won't blame her."
"Silly girl," Su Feng retorted with a laugh, "I was the one who asked you to study more, so how could I blame you? But why aren't you studying with Chen Yue?"
"I understand. I'll hang up the young master's clothes and go right away!"
Chen Xing quickly responded, and then deftly hung the clothes, which were even larger than her body, on the wooden pole.
Their tiny size makes them so cute that you can't help but want to tease them.
But it's estimated that no one dares to bully them anymore... After the impurities in their bloodline were removed, their physique changed, and their strength surpassed that of most adult men.
"Very good," Su Feng smiled with satisfaction, then turned and walked into the hall.
The dining room was filled with the aroma of meat. Having not eaten all day yesterday, Su Feng was already starving when he saw the table full of delicacies. His stomach was rumbling incessantly.
"Young master, the meal is ready."
Uncle Fu came up from behind, and wasn't surprised to see Su Feng. He spoke in his usual tone, "Chen Yue is reading in the young master's study, I..."
"I'll go call her." Su Feng waved his hand and strolled leisurely towards the side room.
In the dimly lit study, there was a cup of warm tea and a bright candle.
Chen Yue sat upright at her desk, holding the Big Dipper Sutra in her hands, engrossed in reading it.
It's like entering the world of a book, experiencing the wonder and marvel of countless Taoist techniques.
Feel the power of every word...
Previously, these obscure books had given her a headache, but now she could recall everything from them.
Time seemed to stand still as she became completely absorbed in the moment, losing track of its passage.
"咚咚-"
Suddenly, Chen Yue felt someone tap on the edge of the table. She snapped back to reality, looked up, and saw that familiar and gentle handsome face.
"I told you to start with the basics, why did you immediately challenge yourself with something so difficult?" Su Feng leaned against the table, smiling gently.
Chen Yue's face flushed red, and she quickly closed the Big Dipper Sutra. "Chen Yue was just... curious about what was written in the sutra. I hope Young Master won't blame me."
"How could I blame them..." Both sisters were the type to apologize so easily, Su Feng said helplessly, "So, how did it go?"
"This scripture is truly exquisite! Although Chen Yue hasn't fully grasped it, some parts are quite interesting! I'm completely engrossed in reading it!"
When talking about the Big Dipper Sutra, Chen Yue seemed like a different person; her eyes lit up and her voice became somewhat passionate.
Halfway through her speech, she realized she had lost her composure and lowered her head shyly.
Seeing how adorable she was, Su Feng couldn't bear to remind her.
The scriptures are in ancient texts, fragments left behind, and the content is still incomplete. Moreover, Chen Yue and Chen Xing have no way to complete them without the help of the Heavenly Evolution. Even if you read every scripture until it's worn out, it's impossible to learn any cultivation techniques or Taoist arts from them.
"The contents of the book can only inspire you, but in reality, these scriptures cannot bring you any real improvement. Take this Beidou Scripture for example, if you want to understand the subtleties in the book, it will be very difficult."
Su Feng's words made Chen Yue feel slightly disappointed. She pursed her lips and sighed, "Chen Yue isn't as talented as Young Master. It's all my fault for being too stupid..."
"You silly girl, you lower your head after just a few words... If you want to learn Taoist techniques, how could I not help you?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow, a smile spreading across his face. "I've already thoroughly understood the scriptures in the study. I'll find some time to draw a manual for you, simplifying the incantations and insights you've learned. That way, you and Chen Xing can quickly comprehend it, and your cultivation speed will naturally increase!"
Su Feng's assurance made Chen Yue beam with joy, and she excitedly covered her mouth, "Really, young master?"
"Have I ever lied to you?"
Su Feng smiled and patted the pitiful little head.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's go out for dinner, or Uncle Fu will start nagging."
Chen Yue nodded slightly, got up to tidy the table, and followed closely behind Su Feng with the half-empty teacup in her hand.
However, what she didn't know was that Su Feng, who was walking ahead, had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"...Genius...truly a genius..."
Su Feng muttered to himself as he walked.
He had only glanced at Chen Yue casually just now, but he noticed that the spiritual power gathered in Chen Yue's body was several times greater than the day before!
It's like a large vat that can continuously absorb spiritual energy, storing energy in a steady stream.
He had already reached the third level of the Refinement Realm! This rate of improvement far exceeded his expectations!
No wonder he has a pure Yin constitution!
It seems his judgment was indeed correct; these two sisters are destined for great things one day.
Back in the dining room, Chen Xing was called back, and the group sat down together to enjoy today's "feast".
For Su Feng, not eating for a day didn't have much of an impact; he could steadily improve simply by absorbing spiritual energy. Therefore, he deliberately pushed the nutritious meat and vegetables to the side of Chen Yue and Chen Xing.
"Eat more, it will be good for you."
Chen Xing was no longer reserved. After expressing his gratitude generously, he began to eat heartily.
Dining at the Su residence was free of many complicated rules; it was like being with family, with everyone chatting and laughing.
“Uncle Fu,” Su Feng said, having finished eating early, as he put down his chopsticks and looked at Uncle Fu, who was still chewing slowly beside him. “Buy more tonics later, like ginseng and deer antler, and make sure they’re of good quality.”
"Is the young master here to give a gift?" Uncle Fu asked softly, looking puzzled.
"No, let Chen Yue and Chen Xing take good care of their health."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue and Chen Xing, who were sitting at the same table, were immediately taken aback and quickly looked up to say, "We appreciate the young master's kindness, but those things are too expensive, and we are not worthy of them."
That's ginseng and deer antler, delicacies only the wealthy can afford.
For impoverished families like theirs, being able to share three meals a day with Young Master Su is already a blessing from heaven. How could they dare to enjoy more?
However, Su Feng's tone was firm and he completely ignored the two women's thoughts. He turned to Uncle Fu and said, "Buy some more bird's nest."
Uncle Fu was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood Su Feng's intention. He smiled knowingly and nodded, "Understood. I will find someone to purchase the goods tomorrow."
In this way, Su Feng silently neutralized Chen Yue and Chen Xing's "resistance".
After the meal, Su Feng called Chen Yue and Chen Xing to the open space in the backyard.
As agreed, today is the day he will test the results.
"As I said before, I will check your training results these past few days when I get back. It will be clear at a glance who has been working hard and who has been slacking off."
Su Feng stood with his hands behind his back, speaking with the imposing air of a head coach, while the two women in front of him stood ramrod straight.
Actually, there's no need for testing; Su Feng can know the answer simply by observing.
Chen Yue has reached the third level of Refining Essence, and in terms of spiritual energy, she has much more than Chen Xing, making her superior.
But... his purpose was simply to warn the two not to take advantage of his absence.
Su Feng bent down and picked up a few smooth pebbles from the ground, distributing them to Chen Yue and Chen Xing.
"Watch closely." Su Feng held one of the pieces in his palm, exerted a little force, and then squeezed it tightly the instant the spiritual energy flowed into his palm.
0 ······Requesting flowers···· ··
Snap——
The cobblestone, about three fingers wide, was crushed into powder and scattered by the wind.
This move amazed Chen Yue and Chen Xing. "Young Master is so amazing!"
"Even a pebble as hard as this can be crushed."
"This is just the most basic thing." Su Feng brushed the powder off his hand and said, "You need to learn to use spiritual energy and master your own power. You can't do it by brute force alone. Now, try it out."
Under Su Feng's instructions, Chen Yue pursed her lips, placed the pebble in her palm, and squeezed it tightly.
For her, who had not yet learned how to use spiritual power, this was indeed difficult. It took her a long time to finally crush the pebble in half.
"It's your turn, Chenxing."
Su Feng then looked to the other side.
Chen Xing, whose name was called, shuddered and nervously gripped the pebble tightly.
She made a fool of herself this time; after a lot of effort, the pebble only cracked a few lines.
"I'm sorry, young master... Yes, it's my fault for not studying hard enough." Chen Xing sighed and lowered his head in disappointment.
It's not that she didn't study; it's just that compared to her sister, her ability to learn was slightly weaker, so naturally, she was far surpassed in cultivation.
"Don't be discouraged, you've already done very well."
Su Feng didn't blame him; instead, he nodded with a satisfied smile.
The pebble-pinching exercise was just a small test; in reality, he wanted to observe the circulation of spiritual energy within the two people up close.
Needless to say, Chen Yue underwent a qualitative change after reaching the third level of Refining Essence. The spiritual energy within his body, combined with his uniquely pure Yin body, allowed him to improve rapidly.
I believe it won't be long before we reach the standards he requires.
0. 0
As for Chenxing, although she is a step behind her older sister Chenyue in many aspects, she has still made progress.
Perhaps her understanding of spiritual energy is not deep enough, and she has not been able to fully utilize it. As time goes by, she may surpass others.
In short, both of them possess boundless potential, like a treasure mountain containing infinite energy, just waiting to be unearthed.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Continue your cultivation as I just taught you."
After imparting some basic insights, Su Feng ended his "inspection" work ahead of schedule.
He had other things to do next, so he couldn't waste any more time here.
"Is young master going out?"
Seeing Su Feng walk towards the gate, Chen Yue hurriedly followed, holding a clean and dried coat in her hands. "The weather has turned cooler recently. If you're going out, young master, please wear an extra layer to avoid catching a cold."
Su Feng glanced back at Chen Yue's shy face, felt a warmth in his heart, and took the coat from her.
"Well, I'll be right back when I go."
