A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 29
Kong Bin was just able to barely control his internal energy. A thin strand of internal energy circulated in his meridians, but it only lasted for a few breaths before dissipating.

Kong Bin stopped practicing and looked at the ground with a face full of shame and anger.

As the saying goes, comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.

Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong who was still standing there after finishing his mission, and thought to himself: This kid is even more perverted than I was back then!

Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong standing with a knife in his hand, snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Kong Bin, and said, "Boy! If your money falls on the ground, pick it up, don't keep looking at the ground!"

"No...no..." Kong Bin blushed and raised his head hesitantly.

The last time he accidentally saw Duan Rong exert his inner strength, Kong Bin's confidence had been completely shattered. He knew that he would never be able to catch up with Duan Rong. This was the first time in his life that he had experienced the bitterness of being completely powerless.

"You don't have to look at him! He is an animal, and you are a human! How can a human be compared to an animal?" Xiao Zongting looked at Kong Bin and said, "Your progress is normal. Internal breath training is a slow and steady process, and practice makes perfect. Come here, I will teach you some details of how to handle the internal breath."

Kong Bin glanced at Duan Rong and his complexion recovered a little. He walked in front of Xiao Zongting, and Xiao Zongting began to guide him some specific details and experiences.

Duan Rong, however, stood not far away, his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart. He did not get close to him. Xiao Zongting had just called him a beast, so there was no need for him to get close to him and make trouble.

But Duan Rong was very dissatisfied: I practiced well, how could I be wrong?

Xiao Zongting instructed Kong Bin for half an incense stick of time before nodding and saying, "Go down and do your best."

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I will practice hard." Kong Bin gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulging.

"Go."

Kong Bin clasped his fists and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Duan Rong with a complicated look. Mr. Xiao asked him to go first because he wanted to give Duan Rong some special treatment. How could he not know that?

Duan Rong didn't care at all, he grinned and rolled his eyes at Kong Bin's back. He knew in his heart that they were not at the same level and there was no way they could be taught together!
Seeing Kong Bin leave, Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong and said, "The internal energy is about the same. Is it as thick as a dick hair?"

Duan Rong's breath was held in place by Xiao Zongting's vulgar words, and he almost choked on his saliva.

Duan Rong coughed dryly and nodded. But it must be said that the words were rough but the logic was true, and the description was quite accurate!

Although Xiao Zongting had already seen the strength of Duan Rong's internal energy from the power in his moves, he was still very surprised to see Duan Rong admit it himself.

The operation of internal energy is so complicated, how could this kid achieve this level so quickly?
"Have you been practicing for the past three days?" Xiao Zongting asked.

This was the only answer he could think of.

On the day when he gave him instructions, at a certain moment, this kid started to circulate his internal energy. This shows that he was born with a strong comprehension of the circulation of internal energy.

In other words, he was able to master the complex operation of internal energy very quickly.

This may be as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people, but it is not impossible for some monsters.

But even if he had mastered the way to circulate his internal energy, if he wanted to achieve the strength he had just achieved, he would have to practice diligently every day for the next three days.

"Yes." Duan Rong responded calmly: "If you use deer antler slices, you can keep practicing."

Xiao Zongting's expression changed slightly!
Talent is one thing, character is another.

How boring is cultivation?!

How many people can really sit on the bench?

Keep practicing, these words may seem spoken calmly, but in fact your determination is as strong as iron!
"Five pieces of deer antlers, all used up?"

If you can quickly master the complex operation of internal breath and train efficiently, five pieces of deer antlers may not last more than three days!

"Yes, I have used them up." Duan Rong replied, "I went to the herbal medicine shop and bought ten more tablets myself?"

Xiao Zongting's eyes moved.

As far as warriors' medicine is concerned, deer antler slices are already a relatively low-end medicinal material, but even so, deer antler slices are considered precious among secular herbs. Ordinary people can definitely not afford it.

According to his understanding, Duan Rong's parents had both passed away and he was alone. Where did he get the money?

"You have money?"

"Well, I made some myself." Duan Rong answered frankly.

Duan Rong had already thought about it. He would be living in the escort agency day and night, and some things could not be concealed at all. It would be better to have an explanation as soon as possible.

"You did it yourself?"

Ten pieces of deer antlers would cost at least seven or eight taels of silver.

Xiao Zongting was just about to interrogate Duan Rong again, mainly because he was afraid that he was not walking the right path and had done something bad.

No matter how good the seedlings are, they will be useless if the roots do not grow properly.

Duan Rong also realized that Xiao Zongting wanted to interrogate him, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the matter in advance. In fact, he had already thought of an excuse.

But before Duan Rong could open his mouth, he heard Xiao Qi's anxious and sharp shouting suddenly from the backyard: "Master, the second young lady is sick!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zongting ran to the backyard.

Duan Rong had never thought that a lame man could run so fast!
Backyard. In Xiao Baiqiao's boudoir.

Xiao Baijiao fell on the bed, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth. The needlework she was embroidering fell at her feet.

Xiao Zongting rushed in and immediately pinched Xiao Baijiao's upper and lower jaws. Zhu Xiaoqi immediately handed a pair of ebony chopsticks wrapped in white cotton cloth to Xiao Zongting's hand.

Xiao Zongting anxiously inserted the ebony chopsticks wrapped in white cotton cloth between Xiao Baiqiao's upper and lower teeth, then looked at Xiao Baiqiao's rolled-up eyes, wiped away the white foam at the corners of Xiao Baiqiao's mouth, and said in a rough voice: "Xiao Qi, go find Doctor Gu!"

Zhu Xiaoqi's little face had already turned red with anxiety. She placed the silver needle bag in her hand on the bed, and then she jumped out of the room in a flash.

Xiao Zongting picked up the needle bag that Zhu Xiaoqi had put down and pulled out a silver needle. The silver needle was as thin as a hair. Xiao Zongting clumsily inserted the silver needle into an acupuncture point on the top of Xiao Baijiao's head.

Xiao Zongting inserted seven silver needles in a row!

He is already sweating profusely!
He had experienced life and death throughout his life and had seen all kinds of situations, but every time he gave Xiao Baiqiao acupuncture, his calm heart was always engulfed by fear.

After the seven silver needles were inserted, Xiao Baiqiao's condition was obviously much better. Although his body was still twitching, he no longer rolled his eyes, and his breathing was steadier and stronger than before.

Xiao Zongting finally sighed, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, folded the needle bag and placed it beside the bed.

This method of emergency acupuncture was taught to him by Doctor Gu some time ago. Xiao Baiqiao's illness has become more and more urgent and severe since this year.

Thinking about what Doctor Gu said now, he was even more frightened!
...This disease cannot be cured. If it continues like this for a long time, I am afraid that people will not be able to bear it...

Seventeen years ago, Xiao Zongting returned seriously injured, and his life or death was uncertain!
At that time, Madam Xiao was pregnant with Xiao Baijiao. She was so worried about her husband's safety that she died in childbirth, leaving behind a sickly baby girl.

Xiao Zongting has always raised this little girl as the apple of his eye.

But who could have thought that such a beautiful daughter would be born with epilepsy?
Xiao Zongting looked at Xiao Baiqiao lying with her eyes closed, and she looked about 70% like Madam Xiao in her past.

Thinking of the deep love between the couple in the past, and now seeing that he could hardly keep the daughter she left for him, Xiao Zongting felt as if his heart was being torn apart for a moment.

"Menglian, it's because my husband is incompetent!"

Xiao Zongting sat at the head of the bed, tears welling up in his eyes.
