My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Sink your Qi to your Dantian and focus your mind on your spiritual platform. Follow me and recite the incantation for the Qi Gathering Technique: Heaven is mysterious, Earth is yellow, all Qi originates from this source..." Li Chen patiently guided him.

Qin Wan'er bit her red lips, her eyelashes trembling violently, and stammered as she repeated:

"Heaven...Heaven is mysterious, Earth is yellow...All Qi...All Qi returns to its origin..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Chen opened his eyes helplessly, looking at the girl in front of him who was so shy that even her neck was red, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's 'this lineage,' not 'returning to the original lineage'! You've mispronounced it!"

Li Chen stretched out his finger and lightly flicked Wan'er's smooth forehead in an annoyed manner.

"Miss Qin, what are you thinking? Focus your mind on your dantian and meridians, don't focus on me, okay?"

Li Chen couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. Teaching disciples was even more tiring than cultivating himself!

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry! Your Highness, please forgive me! Wan'er...Wan'er will focus now!"

Li Chen's words exposed her thoughts, and Qin Wan'er was so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

She lowered her head in a panic, staring intently at her toes, but the warm touch from her wrist being held still stirred ripples in her heart that could not be calmed.

Qin Qiong and his son Qin Huaidao, who were watching from a distance, observed this somewhat ambiguous scene.

The father and son exchanged a glance, then turned around simultaneously in perfect unison, pretending to look at the sky, the clouds, and the scenery, but their lips couldn't help but curl into wild smiles.

If Wan'er can really win the favor of the immortal, then the Qin family will truly be blessed with good fortune!

……

In the days that followed.

The Qin King's mansion has been completely transformed into a bustling training camp for cultivating immortality.

Under Li Chen's generous use of massive amounts of pills and the frenzied infusion of spirit-gathering array.

The "Diamond Body Technique" of Qin Qiong and his son Qin Huaidao has progressed by leaps and bounds!

Only half a month had passed.

On the training ground in the east courtyard.

Every morning, terrifying gas explosions, like thunder, can be heard!

"Bang! Bang! Boom!"

Two bare-chested warriors, their muscles bulging like blocks of iron, are engaged in the most primal and violent physical combat in the center of the training ground!

Although Qin Qiong was older, his combat experience was incredibly seasoned. Every punch and kick he made carried an overwhelming and domineering aura that could sweep away thousands of troops.

Qin Huaidao, on the other hand, was like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. Relying on his youthful vigor and high blood pressure, he was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, going head-to-head with his father!

The two fought at an extremely fast speed, leaving afterimages in the air.

Each punch that collided would unleash a visible white shockwave, shattering the bluestone slabs on the ground into pieces!

Such devastating, purely physical destructive power sent chills down the spines of the Tang Dynasty generals who occasionally came to visit, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

And just a few days later.

Upon hearing that Qin Qiong and his son had also embarked on the path of physical cultivation, Crown Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty was immediately eager to join the battle.

This time, the Qin Prince's training ground was in real trouble!

Three incredibly strong, violent freaks with bodies as hard as iron were locked in a fierce battle.

The scene was like three ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex fighting each other in a frenzy!

Sand and stones flew, and air currents surged!

The huge weapon rack was smashed to pieces with a single punch, and the solid iron millstone weighing several thousand kilograms was used as a hidden weapon to be thrown at each other!

If Li Chen hadn't sensed something was wrong beforehand and quickly set up an indestructible protective array around the training ground, it would have been a different story.

Judging by the speed at which these three violent thugs are demolishing houses, the entire magnificent Qin Prince's Mansion will probably be completely razed to the ground in less than three days!

It was noon that day.

Li Shimin, accompanied by Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle, once again came to the Prince of Qin's residence to freeload a meal.

As they stood outside the formation, they watched Prince Li Chengqian, who had smashed a boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms into dust with a single punch, and Qin Qiong and his son, who grew stronger with each battle.

Li Shimin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, he kept swallowing, and his eyes gleamed with a fervent light like that of a hungry wolf.

"This is too violent... Is this even human power?"

"The Immortal's methods are truly unfathomable!"

Li Shimin stroked his neatly trimmed beard, looking at his son who was drenched in sweat and bulging with muscles, when a wildly audacious, even rebellious, crazy idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Guanyinbi".

Li Shimin leaned close to Empress Zhangsun's ear, lowered his voice, and whispered something.

"Look at Chengqian now, he looks like a reincarnation of a martial god. His civil and military achievements are showing signs of an emperor. What do you say...?"

Li Shimin rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming. "How about I find an excuse and pass the throne directly to Chengqian right now?"

"Then I'll abdicate and become the Retired Emperor, completely shedding all ties to this empire. I'll shamelessly stay in this Prince Qin's mansion every day, cultivating immortality with Chen'er. What do you think?"

Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes in annoyance upon hearing this outrageous suggestion.

She reached out her delicate hand and pinched Li Shimin's soft waist hard without any mercy.

"Your Majesty! Please stop having such unrealistic dreams!"

Empress Zhangsun scolded, "How old is Chengqian? How can he possibly handle those old foxes in the court? If you quit now, the Tang Dynasty will be in complete chaos!"

"Besides, didn't Chen'er already say that you're too old, your meridians are stiff, and even if you abdicate, you won't be able to cultivate immortality; you'll only suffer a qi deviation!"

"Ouch! That hurts! I was just saying it casually!"

Li Shimin grimaced in pain and begged for mercy repeatedly, but his eyes, which were fixed on the training ground, were still filled with undisguised envy and longing.

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was dominating the martial arts arena, displaying his imposing presence.

Suddenly, I sneezed loudly for no apparent reason, and felt a chill run down my spine, as if I were being watched by some malevolent beast.

He never imagined that his own father, in order to slack off on cultivating immortality, would just smash the Tang Dynasty dragon throne that had made him feel like he was walking on thin ice for countless days and nights!
