Chapter 64: Xiao Xue, I’m Your Grandfather
In the sect.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue had been soaking in the Spirit Spring for more than two hours. Their skin had become smoother and more tender. They were in a good mood because of this.
After they got dressed, Zhao Xuanxuan called out to Qin Chuan.
Very quickly, Qin Chuan came over with Huang Huang.
After soaking in the Spirit Spring, Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue’s dispositions and appearances had changed again.
“Brother, what do we do next?” Zhao Xuanxuan asked.
Qin Chuan replied without hesitation, “Of course I’ll be teaching you how to cultivate.
“Follow me!”
The trio arrived at the training hall.
After getting upgraded, the training hall was now huge. It was about the size of two soccer fields.
Qin Chuan led Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue for a tour as they walked.
“This is the training hall. This is where everyone usually cultivates.”
“Those buildings in the distance are the cla.s.ses of the respective specializations.”
“The current specializations include Weapon Forging, Alchemy, Array Formation, Divination, and Combat.”
Zhao Xuanxuan laughed. “Brother, your cultivation training cla.s.s is really interesting; it’s like a university.”
Qin Chuan chuckled. “This is called up with the times.”
At this moment, Ma Qingxue said, “Which specializations do you think suit the two of us?”
Qin Chuan scratched his head and laughed. “I can’t choose for you, it will mainly depend on your interests.”
He was telling the truth.
He never forced others to learn anything. If they preferred to keep practicing breathing exercises in the training hall, he would have no objections too.
Zhao Xuanxuan said, “Brother, what if I want to learn all of them!”
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at her. “Go ahead if you want to! No one is stopping you, but the prerequisite is that you have enough time and talent.”
Zhao Xuanxuan said proudly, “In any case, this is still my interns.h.i.+p period, and I don’t need to go to work. I have plenty of time.
“As for talent, didn’t you say that I have the Fire Phoenix Soul?
“Isn’t that enough?”
Qin Chuan chuckled, not wanting to bicker with her.
She hadn’t started cultivating yet, so she didn’t know how difficult it was. When she truly started cultivating and suffering, she would naturally understand.
Hence, Qin Chuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the platform.
Qin Chuan began to teach them the breathing exercises.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue’s bodies were extremely flexible. To them, the posture of Five Centers Facing the Sky wasn’t difficult at all.
After that, Qin Chuan also taught them cultivation techniques.
He was cultivating the Primordial Chaos One Breathing Technique himself.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue both had souls. In less than five minutes, they had completed the process of drawing Qi into their bodies.
After all, it was expected since both of them had awakened souls.
Just like those old men and women, Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were completely immersed in the pleasure of cultivating. It was like they were on drugs, and it was difficult to stop.
Since they were so focused, Qin Chuan didn’t stop them. I’ll let them cultivate like this!
The faster they grew, the sooner he could rest a.s.sured that they would stay safe.
After all, there were all sorts of people in this society. They were so beautiful, and some people would always have evil intentions.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
Soon, dawn arrived.
…
Gold Sea City.
Li Mansion.
All the top experts in the medical field were gathered here.
They had discussed all night but could never provide a reasonable explanation for Fan Si’s condition.
Fan Si was lying on the bed with various tubes attached to his body.
Through the equipment, they could clearly see that everything about his body was normal. It could even be said that he was very healthy.
But the problem was that he just could not wake up.
Such a condition had baffled these experienced specialists.
They had never encountered such a situation before.
After much discussion, they finally reached a consensus.
They believed that Fan Si was in a deep sleep, something like the hibernation of animals.
However, while animals in hibernation could be woken up, Fan Si could not. At least there had yet to be a safe way of waking him up now.
This was because his consciousness was in a dormant state, if he was suddenly awoken, he would definitely be shocked, and this carried a risk of death.
These experts did not dare to take the risk.
No matter what, they couldn’t think of an effective way to wake him up within a short period of time.
…
On the other side.
The five strong youths who had come with Fan Si had already reported the situation to the elders in their clan.
Li Zhongyun received a call from the higher-ups in his clan.
They ordered him to restore Fan Si to his original state, regardless of whatever means he had to use, even if the Li Pharmaceutical Co. had to go bankrupt.
Li Zhongyun could not go against the orders from the higher-ups.
Right now, he had gathered all the doctors and specialists he could.
But they were still helpless.
If local doctors couldn’t work, he had to ask for foreign doctors.
The medical technology of Western countries was at the top of the world.
However, the world was in turmoil now. The western countries were frantically trying to annex small countries in order to seize resources.
As a result, various flights in the West had been shut down.
According to Li Zhongyun’s understanding, the Western countries had some disagreements with the owners.h.i.+p of some of Xia Country’s territories, which resulted in friction.
As such, the relations.h.i.+p between Xia Country and the Western countries had become tense.
This caused many routes between Xia Country and the Western countries to be closed.
Therefore, it would probably be impossible to get doctors and specialists from Western countries.
In this case, Li Zhongyun could only think of one solution.
He went to the study and picked up a stack of doc.u.ments on the table. He flipped through them carefully and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he made a call.
“Prepare a helicopter.”
“Sir, where are you going?”
“Beichuan!”
Before long, a helicopter hovered above the mansion.
…
At the same time, Qin Chuan led everyone into the sect.
According to the usual practice, he first guided the newcomers to cultivate.
At the training hall.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were still focused on breathing.
After a night of cultivation, their bodies had grown significantly stronger.
As they possessed souls, the speed at which they absorbed spiritual energy was abnormally fast, and the amount they absorbed was also extraordinary.
Simply put, a day of cultivation for them was equivalent to ten days for ordinary cultivators.
At this moment, everyone arrived at the training hall, chatting and laughing.
Ma Dong noticed Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue from afar.
Eh! Why does that person look so much like my granddaughter?
Ma Dong was very curious and immediately ran over.
He took a closer look and realized that this was indeed his granddaughter.
He patted Ma Qingxue. “Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue…”
Ma Qingxue slowly opened her eyes.
In front of her was a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He seemed very warm and friendly.
“You are…” Ma Qingxue asked curiously.
Ma Dong stared lovingly at Ma Qingxue. “Xiao Xue, I’m your grandfather!”
“Grandpa?” Ma Qingxue was even more puzzled.
Her grandfather was already in his seventies, but the person in front of her looked to be in his forties. How could he be her grandfather?
But what was with that mysterious sense of familiarity?
At this moment, w.a.n.g Zhixing walked over.
When he saw Ma Qingxue, he couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Xiao Xue, why are you here?”
w.a.n.g Zhixing had always felt that this was not immortal cultivation. Instead, he thought it was an illusion created by a new psychoactive drug.
He thought that a young person like Ma Qingxue would not use such a drug!
“I understand. It must be because of Fang Yuke’s scandal. She must have been under too much pressure.”
w.a.n.g Zhixing thought to himself, making up a reason.
Ma Qingxue looked at w.a.n.g Zhixing with a confused look.
The feeling he gave her was also familiar yet unfamiliar—mixed with a sense of warmth.
