Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Wang Yeliu led Wang Xian and Qin Chong further inside.

Finally, they stopped in front of a detached villa.

This villa occupies a considerable area, is entirely white, and has a modern yet minimalist design.

The surrounding area is filled with various flowers and plants, creating a tranquil environment.

Wang Yeliu pushed open the door and led the two inside.

The interior is spacious and the decor is exquisite but not ostentatious.

The room has everything: living room, dining room, kitchen, study, bedroom...

Even if there are twenty people, let alone two, it won't feel crowded.

Wang Yeliu led the two on a tour, explaining as he did so:

"The first floor has a living room, dining room, and kitchen; the second floor has bedrooms and a study; the third floor..."

She led the two to the third floor and pushed open a door.

Inside was a large, empty room with walls made of a special metal material.

In the center of the room is a circular area about five meters in diameter, with intricate array patterns carved on the ground.

The ceiling is covered with a dense array of devices.

"This is an advanced training room."

Wang Yeliu pointed to the devices and said:

"Just like the top-tier cultivation room you used at the cultivation center in Nanzhao Province, it's equipped with the most advanced receiving, conversion, and purification equipment. You can adjust it to whatever cultivation environment you want."

"Thunderstorms, flames, ice, stars... all can be simulated."

Wang Xian entered the cultivation room and experienced it for a while.

Indeed, it's exactly the same as the training hall.

He turned his head and asked a question:

"Aunt, do all the members of the Wang family...have a cultivation room like this?"

He had personally experienced the effects of the training room.

Receiving, transforming, and purifying the corresponding energy for cultivators can increase efficiency several times, or even ten times!

If every member of the Wang family had a cultivation room like this, then...

This is utterly hopeless for ordinary people.

Wang Yeliu shook his head:

"How is that possible? These advanced cultivation rooms are incredibly expensive to build. Just the receiving and conversion equipment alone would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for several lifetimes."

She paused, then explained:

"Only members of the Wang family's direct lineage, or those who have made significant contributions to the family, are qualified to use it."

"The others are using intermediate-level training rooms, so the effects aren't as good."

Wang Xian nodded, but was still amazed.

The intermediate-level training room is much more effective than those public training halls outside.

This is the foundation of a great family.

What ordinary people struggle with all their might to barely reach, is readily available to the children of wealthy families from birth.

Wang Yeliu then showed the two another training room next door, as well as various facilities such as the underground gravity room and simulated combat room.

Everything broadened Wang Xian's horizons, and he exclaimed in amazement.

After taking a round of tours, it was already afternoon.

Just then, Wang Cang walked in with a smile on his face: "Little Fairy, I have good news."

Wang Xian looked at him.

"All the materials needed for Qin Chong to awaken his talent have been collected," Wang Cang said with a smile. "Your uncle personally gave the order; that's how efficient you are."

Wang Xian was overjoyed.

He looked at Qin Chong, who was scratching his head, staring blankly at the things, not knowing what they were.

"Daichongzi, you can awaken your talent now!"

Wang Xian patted him on the shoulder.

Qin Chong blinked, still not quite understanding, but seeing Wang Xian happy, he also grinned foolishly.

The group left the villa and headed to the Wang family's "Spirit Medicine Pavilion".

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion is a separate building specifically used for storing and processing various spiritual herbs and medicines.

Even before entering, you can smell a faint medicinal fragrance.

Inside, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was busy at work.

He is the manager of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and his surname is Zhou.

When Steward Zhou saw Wang Yeliu and the others enter, he quickly came forward and bowed.

"Fourth Miss, Fifth Master, Young Master Wang Xian."

Wang Yeliu nodded:

"Is everything ready?"

Steward Zhou said respectfully:

"Everything is ready. The medicinal bath is being prepared. Please follow me."

The group followed him to a room specifically used for preparing medicinal baths.

In the center of the room stood a huge bronze cauldron.

A special flame burns beneath the cauldron, and the inside is steaming hot, emitting a rich herbal aroma.

Manager Zhou's men were gathered around the cauldron, putting various materials into it in order.

The materials used were all of high quality.

There were century-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, bright red cinnabar fruit, and ice lotus exuding a chilling aura... one by one, plant by plant, they were carefully placed into the cauldron.

While giving instructions, Steward Zhou explained:

"These materials were specially selected based on Young Master Qin Chong's condition. They not only stimulate the awakening of his talent but also nourish his body, protect his heart meridian, and ensure his safety!"

Wang Xian stood to the side, watching intently.

About ten minutes later, all the materials were added.

The medicinal liquid inside the cauldron had a faint golden hue and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

Steward Zhou approached Wang Yeliu and respectfully said:

"Fourth Miss, Fifth Master, Young Master Wang Xian, the medicinal bath is ready."

Wang Yeliu looked at Wang Xian.

Wang Xian nodded and walked to Qin Chong's side:

"Daichongzi, it's your turn."

Qin Chong scratched his head, looked at the steaming cauldron, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Little fairy, are you... going to cook me and eat me?"

He asked very seriously, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead, there was a hint of... a little expectation?

Wang Xian was taken aback by his question, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He explained:

"It's not about boiling you; it's a medicinal bath. Soaking in water boiled with these herbs can help you awaken your talents ahead of time."

He paused, looked into Qin Chong's eyes, and said earnestly:

"Didn't you say you would protect me? Only by awakening your talent can you become stronger faster and truly protect me."

Qin Chong's eyes lit up immediately when he heard "protect the little fairy".

He nodded vigorously and said loudly:

"I want to become stronger! I want to protect the little fairy!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the large cauldron.

Wang Cang walked over and gently lifted Qin Chong into the cauldron.

Qin Chong was submerged in the medicinal liquid, with only his head showing.

He paused for a moment, then grinned and said:

"It's quite comfortable..."

The temperature inside the cauldron was not high, only around fifty degrees Celsius.

Qin Chong possessed the strength of the fourth level of the Enlightenment Realm, so this temperature had no effect on him.

But this is only the beginning.

Seeing that Qin Chong had adapted well, Steward Zhou immediately instructed his subordinates:

"Increase the fire."

The flames grew larger, and the temperature began to rise slowly.

As the temperature rises, the medicinal liquid inside the cauldron begins to evaporate more rapidly.

The active ingredients in those spiritual herbs and medicines transformed into wisps of pale golden mist, slowly seeping into Qin Chong's skin and merging into his body.

Qin Chong's expression began to change.

What started as a sense of ease gradually turned into some discomfort.

The temperature is getting higher and higher.

Fifty-five degrees... sixty degrees... sixty-five degrees...

Qin Chong's expression grew increasingly pained.

His brows were furrowed, his jaw was clenched, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His body began to tremble slightly, and his skin turned an unnatural red.

Wang Xian stood to the side, her fists clenched, her heart clenching.

Wang Yeliu noticed his nervousness and gently comforted him:

"Don't worry, besides the spiritual herbs and medicines that awaken talents, there are also treasures specifically for protecting the heart meridian."

"Qin Chong will be fine."

Wang Xian nodded, but her eyes never left Qin Chong.
