Witch, please have some self-respect!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The two days were very regular; I gained good fortune by going to the heavens, working, and slacking off.

You gain merit points by communicating with Wan'er.

Then all of it was used for the "Purple Thunder Breathing Method".

I receive 29 points of good fortune each day, plus 3 or 4 points of self-cultivation and improvement, which makes me feel fulfilled and happy.

That night, the room was filled with the unique rhythm of breathing, mixed with crackling sounds, and arcs of electricity danced on Shen Yun's body.

[Purple Thunder Breathing Technique (Mastery 100/100)]

"It still doesn't work. I have to accept my mediocrity."

After completing his breathing exercise, Shen Yun made peace with himself.

When he doesn't encounter any bottlenecks, he can increase his proficiency in breathing techniques by practicing for one or two hours.

However, after completing the practice today, I ran the breathing technique several times, but there was no further improvement.

Another new Blood Essence Pill entered his stomach, and with his unique talent, he easily broke through in his breathing technique.

[Purple Thunder Breathing Method (Minor Success 1/1000)]

At the same time, it brought many insights.

As Shen Yun circulated his breathing technique, the lightning emanating from his body grew weaker and weaker until it finally dissipated completely.

The blood and qi within the body become increasingly active, and the electric sparks that burst forth between the muscles are contained within the body, providing even greater nourishment.

The aging body exudes an increasingly rich and potent qi and blood.

"It used to take three days to refine a Blood Essence Pill, but after achieving minor success, it only takes two days."

After a long while, having digested his insights, Shen Yun opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.

If he has enough Blood Essence Pills, he is confident that he can break through to the second stage of Body Nourishing in about thirty days.

There are still twenty-two Blood Essence Pills left, that's enough.

In just five short days since his talent was awakened, Gu Juan has undergone tremendous changes.

[Exclusive Blessing: 0]

After admiring the view for a moment, Shen Yun got up and went to the woodshed, where hot water had already been prepared in the bathtub.

Today, Shen Yun used soap and washed herself very carefully.

White hair, white beard, white hair...

After reaching the next level, the Qi and blood nourish the aging body, and the heart beats powerfully.

It has achieved reverse aging.

After drying myself off and lying in bed, the fragrance of osmanthus and orchids wafted over me, making me feel refreshed and relaxed.

Twenty-eight beauties have a body that looks like a crisp.

Shen Yun kept telling himself that indulging in lust at such an old age might shorten his lifespan.

However, the plot of a wife remaining a virgin after marriage only appears in novels featuring NTR villains.

Unable to bear it any longer, he rolled over and got up.

"My husband~"

Like a pear blossom overshadowing a crabapple, Shen Yun, now over sixty-three, has finally completed a significant transformation.

They matured a bit late.

Beneath the bright red wedding quilt, his beloved wife nestled in Shen Yun's arms, slowly drifting off to sleep like a kitten.

Shen Yun smelled the fragrance of the hair, her wish fulfilled.

Great talents are best used later in life.

.....

The next morning, Shen Yun went out feeling refreshed.

"Mr. Shen, you're up."

There were even fewer people at the martial arts arena today, and Shen Qiqiang walked over with a fawning expression.

There are even fewer people today.

Besides Shen Qiqiang, there were only a few teenagers.

Shen Yun asked, puzzled, "Where have Li Bu and the others gone?"

"After the patriarch returned last night, he went to the Qianlong Mountains overnight. He needed a few horse watchers, and Li Bu and the others volunteered to go with him."

Shen Qiqiang said with a simple and honest smile.

Shen Yun asked, "Why didn't you go?"

"Too many people go to the Qianlong Mountains. I don't have Li Bu's ambitions. I'd rather stay home and take care of you."

Shen Qiqiang's words also subtly implied that Li Bu had sided with the head of the family.

The two have been competing quite a bit these past few days.

"The Qianlong Mountains have become a place of trouble. Xiaoqiang, you're right. Li Bu isn't as smart as you."

Shen Yun patted Shen Qiqiang on the shoulder and affirmed.

Shen Qiqiang's restless heart calmed down, and a happy expression appeared on his face. Master Shen had approved of him.

They completely abandoned the idea of ​​going on an adventure to the Hidden Dragon Mountains.

Inheriting the steward's legacy is no less valuable than acquiring a spiritual plant, and without the risk involved.

Shen Yun was unaware that the other side was still trying to steal his gold coins.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care. They never intended to take him as their godson, and besides, they had no more gold coins.

I just hope that fighting won't break out in the Qianlong Mountains.

In the past few days, Shen Yun has been playing chess with the accountant and old man Feng during the day, and he has heard a lot about the Qianlong Mountains.

Yesterday, the city lord's mansion led a large number of city guards in an attempt to blockade the Qianlong Mountain Range.

Not only are spiritual plants appearing frequently, but an earthquake also occurred the day before yesterday, and many savage beasts appeared.

All signs indicate that a great treasure will soon appear deep within the mountains.

Even without precious treasures, spiritual plants and savage beasts are excellent cultivation resources, and all the major forces in the city will compete for them.

The reason why a powerful force is powerful is because it monopolizes resources.

After becoming a major power, it is necessary to continuously monopolize power in order to solidify its position.

Seeing that Shen Yun was about to go to his shift, Shen Qiqiang quickly ran over and grabbed a wooden box.

"Mr. Shen, I heard you like Zhaifuji's pastries. I bought this Nine-Turned White Jade Cake this morning."

Filial piety from younger generations brings +1 blessing.

Shen Yun was taken aback and said, "You're so thoughtful. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Whether it's genuine or feigned, the points of good fortune are real.

Nine-Turned White Jade Cake is Zhai Fu Ji's signature dish. Each serving weighs three ounces and has a very complex production process. Only ten servings are sold per day.

It's a form of scarcity marketing; the moment the doors open, everything's gone.

Servants from wealthy families lined up overnight to be able to buy them.

He only ever ate one piece.

Shen Yun didn't let Shen Qiqiang suffer a loss, and took out a body-nourishing pill from his pocket.

It is worth ten taels.

He encouraged him, "Achieve mastery of martial arts soon!"

Shen Qiqiang watched Shen Yun leave. In the past few days, many people had knelt down to be his godfather, but Shen Yun had refused them all.

This convinced Shen Qiqiang that he was the special one.

So these past few days I've been trying even harder to please them.

"Why does my godfather always carry health-preserving pills with him? He must have prepared them for me. Is he trying to win over this stubborn old man?"

Shen Qiqiang was overjoyed.

He began to fantasize about inheriting Old Shen's legacy next year, using it all for cultivation, defeating Li Bu, gaining the favor of the Fifth Miss, and reaching the pinnacle of Seeking Immortals City.

Back inside.

Shen Yun left Wan'er half a box of pastries, and put on some makeup, making her face look sallow and thin.

These past few days, the masters in the manor have been focused on the area outside the city, and no one has noticed that Old Shen has advanced in rank. It's better to keep a low profile.

Leaning on his cane, he went out and headed straight for the tent.

There are few people in the mansion, making it even quieter today.

"Why isn't Old Man Feng here today?"

Shen Yun stopped a servant who had just returned from shopping and asked him a question.

"I heard there's been fighting in the Qianlong Mountains. Chief Steward Feng has gone to gather information."

The man didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

It turned out that the city lord's mansion wanted to blockade the Qianlong Mountain Range, but the major families disagreed, and the city guards and the guards of the major families started fighting first.

Shen Yun shook his head.

Old Feng's son was a city guard, and he went to the Hidden Dragon Mountains. He was worried about his son's safety and couldn't sit still.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; if he has no children and grandchildren, he will enjoy his own happiness.

I had originally planned to share this delicious meal with this old friend, but it seems I'll have to enjoy it all by myself.
