Douluo: The Peerless Dragon Shakes the Universe.

Chapter 7 The Daily Life of Jiang Shi of Taixu

"Eat up, cousin, don't worry about me, I'm already tired of it," the boy said with a smile, gesturing for them to eat.

Jiang Yun slowly raised her eyes and said in an annoyed tone, "Little brother, are you showing off to your older sister?"

"No way." Jiang Shuo raised an eyebrow.

"I'm telling the truth, I really am tired of it."

"Although I don't have any objections or complaints, after all, I'm just an enjoyer... but it's not good to waste food, so eat up." The boy patted his cousin's hand and urged her to eat. He handed her two ivory chopsticks.

Jiang Yun nodded helplessly, "Then I really won't be polite, okay?"

She took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of succulent, mouthwatering venison leg, and put it into her mouth.

It bursts with juice with every bite.

One drop spilled from the corner of her mouth and flowed down to the water chestnut's chin.

Jiang Shuo picked up a tablecloth from the side and carefully wiped away the drop of oil stain for this "friend" who had finally come all this way.

"Enjoy your food, don't worry about me."

……

In less than half an hour, Jiang Yun devoured all eleven dishes that had been served, leaving only a table full of golden platters.

The boy looked at Jiang Yun's belly with a strange expression.

It was only slightly bulging.

Can you really eat that much...?

You really can't tell from the outside.

I thought she was a graceful lady, but it turns out she's a foodie too.

"Phew~~"

"I'm full, yeah, I'm stuffed..."

Jiang Yun lay half-reclined on a rattan chair in the restaurant, stroking her slightly protruding belly while looking up at the ceiling with a happy expression.

She was no longer the gentle and dignified woman she had been by the cliff. The blue lotus dress on her arm was casually lifted up, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin.

Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "If you think it's delicious, then come visit me more often in the future."

"I can't leave the sect, but you can come."

Jiang Yun nodded gently, "No problem. I'll come see you once a month from now on?"

"Little brother, remember to prepare the meal in advance for your sister's arrival, hahaha, that sounds so weird..."

Although she said it was strange, she still stretched her long legs under the table as far as possible to make herself more comfortable.

The boy's space was constantly being encroached upon, forcing him to keep pulling his feet back. However, Jiang Yun seemed to be having a fun time, constantly teasing Jiang Shuo's calves with her small toes.

Jiang Shuo could see the small section of fair ankle that was exposed when he looked down, and a ticklish feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, making him feel quite helpless.

"Stop teasing, Sister Yun'er. It's been almost two years. What level have you reached in your Tai Xu True Essence Technique?"

Hearing the question, the girl, who was half-slumped in the wicker chair, finally straightened up a bit. She stretched out her slender white fingers and scratched her cheek. "Hmm..."

"It's probably in the middle of the fourth level. There's still a long way to go before reaching the fifth level."

"However, my dantian is already large enough. The soul power converted from true essence is almost five or six times that of an ordinary soul saint."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuo's eyes flickered for a moment.

My cousin, who was known as a prodigy, could only reach the fourth level of Soul Saint cultivation.

He hadn't even obtained his first spirit ring yet, but he had already advanced to the early stage of the third level.

Is it because his soul was resilient after transmigrating? Or is it because of his status as the young sect leader, and the fact that he was instilled with substances that could alter his physique from a young age?

"Xiao Shuo, what are you thinking about?"

My cousin suddenly spoke, a faint blush rising on her pretty face.

Because the direction the boy was looking down was right at her snow-white thighs, which were exposed because her dress wasn't long enough.

Although the sect's customs were somewhat feudal, the nobles on the continent were very open. She had just returned from the Sun Moon Empire and hadn't even had time to change her clothes. She never expected that this little boy would actually... actually stare at her like that!

"Huh?" Jiang Shuo, who was deep in thought, was suddenly awakened. He raised his eyebrows and looked at his cousin across from him.

At this moment, Jiang Yun had silently withdrawn her long legs, somewhat regretting her earlier teasing.

Seeing his blank expression, she immediately realized that she might have misunderstood and quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

"You should rest now. I have to go. I haven't seen my father yet."

After saying that, Jiang Yun stood up with a thud and ran out of the dining hall of the Humble Administrator's Palace in a disheveled state.

Jiang Shuo blinked in confusion, but didn't say anything.

Judging from my cousin's travel-worn appearance, she really did look like she had just arrived at the sect.

A moment later, the Humble Administrator's Peak returned to its deserted state, and he was alone once again.

However, he no longer feels much lonely; instead, he feels a sweet and tranquil feeling in his heart.

The boy walked out of the dining hall, entered the training room, and sat down cross-legged.

The circulation of the Great Void True Essence Technique begins, circulating through the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits.

It is through repeated and complex cycles that the small amount of true essence generated within is able to fill the dantian.

Every time Jiang Shuo practiced this technique, he would be amazed by it.

If there were any slow-moving cultivation techniques in this world, it would probably be this Tai Xu Zhen Yuan Jue.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Because it's so incredibly boring.

Although the talent and comprehension of the cultivator are equally important, the True Essence Technique is not a technique that can be mastered overnight. Only through continuous day and night cycles and tireless repetition can even a tiny bit of True Essence be generated.

The true essence generated in the early stages of the True Essence Technique is pitifully small, and cannot be compared with the soul power obtained through meditation.

Undoubtedly, such results are extremely tedious for Soul Masters, far less efficient than the Soul Power gained through meditation.

Although the sect forces every Jiang clan disciple to cultivate, most people have a complacent attitude, and even many titled Douluo powerhouses only reach the fourth or fifth level.

Many more disciples of the Taixu sect, even after three years of training, haven't accumulated enough true essence to condense into their dantian.

Even knowing that the end of this tedious and boring experience is immense power, most people still cannot endure it and will abandon their true essence to focus on cultivating soul power.

Of course, when a person chooses a cultivation method, the cultivation method may also be choosing the person.

Perhaps those dull and tedious moments are the threshold.

Having lived through two lifetimes, Jiang Shuo, whose temperament is better than that of ordinary people, feels that he can persevere.

Therefore, it was common for him to stay in meditation for more than ten hours at a time.

……

As the sun rises in the east, wisps of mist evaporate from the mountains and forests.

As the sun shone on the Humble Administrator's Peak, the boy slowly opened his eyes.

Upon opening the door to the training room, they found a charming maid already waiting respectfully outside.

"Young Master, breakfast is ready. You said you were going to hunt for spirit rings today."

Jiang Shuo nodded slightly and walked for a few minutes before arriving at the dining hall, where a meal was already laid out on the precious mahogany dining table.

The sons of noble families and aristocrats were usually given medicinal meals instead of ordinary food.

The difference lies in the rarity and preciousness of the medicinal cuisine.

What lay before Jiang Shuo were ingredients specially transported from the far north, ingredients that even the princes of the four great empires could not enjoy.

Compared to the Starry Sky Forest, the environment in the far north is extremely harsh.

Yet it is precisely in these harsh conditions that medicinal herbs are born, making them the most resilient and tenacious.

Its energy content may not be as high as that produced by the sacred pool, but it is quite suitable for human absorption because what remains in the harsh and dry environment is the essence.

The Taixu Sect has an affiliated sect located on the far northern edge, which is specifically responsible for collecting and transporting medicinal herbs.

The soup is made from bird's nest from a thousand-year-old ice bear, porridge made from the fattest part of a thousand-year-old ice bear, and whole pieces of ice marrow that are transported here and melt into water.

Jiang Shuo's daily meals cost more than 100,000 gold soul coins.

It should be noted that some cities on the mainland generate less than 100,000 in tax revenue for the entire year.

Only a sect like the Taixu Sect would dare to be so extravagant.

The sheer extravagance on the table made Jiang Shuo almost reluctant to take a bite.

From this perspective, his usually stern and aloof father, though he rarely spent time with him, had provided him with the best possible material comforts.
