Witch, please have some self-respect!

When making breakfast, Mianzhi was asked to do it herself, while Shen Yun gave instructions from the side.

She can cook rice and stir-fry simple dishes without any problem, but she's not very familiar with the recipes.

They're not stupid; with a little training, they can get the hang of it.

Shen Yun became increasingly satisfied.

Having a maid is really nice; you won't have to worry about household chores anymore, and your sense of happiness will greatly increase.

no way.

Who can resist the temptation to simply push aside the dishes and chopsticks after finishing a meal, without having to worry about anything?

For ordinary people, this kind of experience is something they only get when they're spoiled by their parents as children.

At the dinner table, Mianzhi ate with her head down, taking a bite of porridge and a bite of bread, her cheeks bulging out like a little hamster.

Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed on the bowl, as if she were engaged in a fierce battle.

The fried dough sticks are delicious.

I can make fried dough sticks now.

Is it okay to eat fried dough sticks every day?

Let's see what the master wants to eat. Mianzhi can have fried dough sticks once every five to ten days.

She rarely picked up food, especially when Shen Yun and Su Wan'er did so.

Su Wan'er would occasionally put a few bites on her plate, but Shen Yun ignored it.

"Xiaozhi, take your time eating. You can clean up after you're done."

After Su Wan'er finished eating, she looked at Mianzhi's dry rice and saw that she had a big appetite for the rice and ate an extra pancake.

After the meal, Wan'er went to the spirit field with light steps, while Shen Yun went to take a walk next door.

Xiao Tongtong also got up and started cooking.

Although the stubborn little girl was always timid, she had her own principles and didn't want to cause trouble for Shen Yun and the other girl.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Shen Yun took better care of her.

No one in the alley dared to bully her because she was home alone, and other shady characters didn't dare to approach her.

"Tongtong's cooking is getting better and better. Qiaoniang will be so lucky when she comes back in a few days," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"When Mom comes back, I'll make her a big cake; she's never had one before."

Little Tongtong beamed with joy.

During Qiaoniang's two trips away, she grew up very quickly. She used to not know how to tie her hair very well, but now she can tie it into an elegant bun.

After sitting for a while, Shen Yun went back to his quiet room to carve talismans.

Days passed by one by one.

The number of high-quality rune stones in Shen Yun's void bag continued to increase, making him more and more confident.

The blood food can be digested in about four days, and Su Wan'er also ate some blood food.

However, her digestion speed was a bit slow; she had digested less than half of it in four days. Her breathing technique was at a relatively low level; let alone minor success, she was at most at the mastery level.

Not everyone is like Shen Yun, who makes progress through practice and breaks through bottlenecks with a single tap.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything is steadily improving.

Apart from...

Qiaoniang has not returned yet; thirty-four days have passed.

"Tongtong, don't worry. The Great Wilderness is too big. It's normal for it to take some time."

Su Wan'er comforted Xiao Tongtong, whose eyes were glazed over and who kept glancing towards the alley entrance.

Whenever someone passes by, I can't help but look over.

"Yes, Mom must have been delayed. She told me before that the Great Wilderness is unpredictable, and if you encounter a crisis, you have to take a detour for many days."

"It's fine..."

Xiao Tongtong tried to comfort herself, appearing calm on the surface, but her little hands were trembling slightly.

Mianzhi stared blankly at the scene, noticing the nervousness of the little girl she had just met.

After thinking it over, the kitchen brought out a plate of fried dough sticks.

Any unpleasantness will be digested after eating the fried dough.

"Thank you, Sister Zhi."

Tongtong looked at the fried dough in front of her, a look of confusion flashing in her phoenix eyes. Upon seeing that it was Mianzhi, she could only express her gratitude.

Over the past few days, she has come to understand that this older sister has a pure heart and likes to eat pancakes.

There was no malicious intent.

Hearing someone call her "sister," a joyful expression appeared on Mianzhi's blank face.

She likes to be called "older sister".

Shen Yun looked at the simple-minded Mianzhi and couldn't help but sigh.

He seemed quite clever at work these past few days, but now he still seems to be the same dull and simple-minded person he always was.

Hearing the master sigh, Mianzhi quickly brought another plate and handed him a pancake.

Shen Yun was both amused and exasperated.

Mianzhi reached out her little hand and bent down to massage Shen Yun's legs on the recliner.

After eating the spirit rice and spirit meat for a few days, Mianzhi's face became a little fuller, and her chestnut-colored long hair gradually gained luster.

"A little below, yes, yes..."

Shen Yun reluctantly accepted it.

Mianzhi's massage skills are quite good; she must have been taught by that matchmaker.

Shen Yun liked this very much.

Listening to Su Wan'er and Tongtong's whispers, and thinking of Qiao Niang, Shen Yun could only pray for her.

Danger lurks everywhere in the Great Wilderness. Especially these days, although the area within a hundred miles of the Holy City is much safer, the area beyond that hundred miles is actually more dangerous and unpredictable due to the battle with the demon race.

If the hunting team wants to make a harvest, they must go beyond the hundred-mile radius and venture deeper into the wilderness.

However, it's not necessarily true that something went wrong; there's also a high possibility that things were delayed.

There's a saying that they travel through the wilderness, going out on occasions without a set schedule, returning only once a month.

If some opportunity is discovered, it's possible that it might take some time, and staying for two months is not out of the question.

Sensing that the breathing technique within his body was about to stop, Shen Yun added a little more merit.

The breathing technique then started working on its own within the body.

Without the intervention of merit points, Shen Yun would not be able to make the breathing technique operate on its own entirely on his own.

He also subtly hinted to many people that no one could do it.

Shen Yun was not disappointed by this; on the contrary, he was even happier.

I have what others don't!

By investing eight or nine points of dedicated merit into the breathing technique each day, you can ensure that the breathing technique operates automatically around the clock.

During the self-operation period, as Shen Yun becomes more proficient at multitasking, he will gain an additional 20 points of progress each day.

There are 30 progress points gained each day, and the promotion is complete in just over 200 days.

Let alone perfecting the cultivation at the 'Dharma' level, even perfecting the cultivation at the 'Secret' level is very difficult.

Shen Yun can master a cultivation method to perfection in just one year, which is definitely a sign of exceptional talent.

To master a cultivation technique to perfection signifies that one has reached the pinnacle of understanding of that technique.

The cultivation method is imbued with the cultivator's will, refining their essence, energy, and spirit, resulting in a qualitative transformation.

Once the method is perfected, it is no longer the original "Purple Thunder Breathing Method," but Shen Yun's version—the Purple Thunder Breathing Method.

Everyone is different. Even with the same practice method, different people will have different results when they reach perfection.

To be on par with, or even surpass, the founder of the technique.

It's not uncommon for someone to immerse themselves in a particular method for many years and elevate it to an incredible level.

Shen Yun had read in a miscellaneous book that there was once an unparalleled genius born in the Great Wilderness, and only the "Wild Bull Fist" could be practiced.

Over a century, and through continuous integration of his own understanding, he has elevated the Wild Bull Fist to an eightfold increase, making it comparable to a "classic" level combat technique.

Claimed to be the "Eight Desolate Ox God Heaven-Shaking Battle Technique"

Shen Yun could only express his admiration for such a prodigy.

This battle technique does indeed exist in the Holy Sect's Scripture Pavilion, and outer disciples can exchange for it.

The culmination of a genius's century-long deduction can be taken home with just 20,000 contribution points.

The printed version with pictures and text costs only six thousand.

Is it expensive?

It's not expensive at all!

Spiritual practice is about standing on the shoulders of giants to see a more distant view.

To continue the lost learning of the sages!
