One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Over the next two hours, Zhang Tianyi witnessed firsthand the shopping prowess of women.

Lu Linglong practically transformed into Chen Duo's personal stylist, dragging her through various luxury brands.

"This French Chanel-style dress suits Chen Duo's temperament perfectly! I'll wrap it up!"

"These Dr. Martens boots and this trench coat are a perfect match! Swipe your card!"

Zhang Tianyi, meanwhile, sat comfortably on the leather sofa in the VIP lounge, sipping the hand-ground coffee served by the sales assistant.

Watching Chen Duo change into one new outfit after another, her smile growing wider and wider, Zhang Tianyi nodded in satisfaction.

When checking out.

Lu Linglong, carrying large and small bags, approached Zhang Tianyi, looking up at him with an expression of adoration:

"Senior, do you think my choice is alright?"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Tianyi put down his coffee cup and looked at the energetic young girl in front of him.

Although Lu Linglong is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she has a straightforward personality and doesn't have many hidden agendas.

Looking at her, Zhang Tianyi suddenly thought of Old Lu, who always cried, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He looked at Lu Linglong, who was busy running around and whose forehead was covered in a fine sweat, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Linglong, come here."

Zhang Tianyi waved.

Lu Linglong obediently walked up to him: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Thank you for your hard work today. I, Dao Ye, never take advantage of people for nothing."

Zhang Tianyi sized Lu Linglong up and down, his gaze sharp as if he could see through the flow of Qi within her body:

“I noticed that your lower body was very stable when you were walking and picking up your clothes, but there was a very slight stagnation in your breath when it passed through the Jianjing acupoint.”

"When you practice your martial arts, do you focus too much on the explosive power of physical strikes and neglect the harmony between Qi and the physical body?"

Lu Linglong was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with shock.

She practices close combat skills of the Quanzhen School, and recently she has indeed encountered a bottleneck, always feeling a slight lack of smoothness when exerting force.

Her great-grandfather, Lu Jin, had also given her some pointers, but they were too profound for her to understand.

Unexpectedly, this Celestial Pivot Master saw right through her just by observing her shopping movements!

"A real...real person, how did you know?"

Zhang Tianyi chuckled and casually tapped Lu Linglong's Jianjing acupoint with one finger.

"Om."

A gentle surge of lightning energy flowed from her fingertips into Lu Linglong's body.

Lu Linglong felt a tingling sensation in her shoulder, and then the stiffness that had bothered her for months was instantly relieved!

The Qi within the body flows continuously and smoothly, like the Yangtze River!

"When you exert your power, don't treat Qi as a weapon; treat Qi as your blood."

Zhang Tianyi slowly withdrew her hand:

"Go back and experience it for yourself. Consider this a small errand fee."

Lu Linglong felt the exhilarating power within her body and was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"Thank you so much for your guidance! Thank you so much for your guidance!!"

The way she looks at Zhang Tianyi now can no longer be described as worship; it's more like looking at a god.

At this time.

Standing at the entrance of the VIP room, Zhang Chulan was exhausted, carrying more than a dozen huge shopping bags.

Seeing this, I almost ground my back teeth to powder.

He was biting a small handkerchief he'd somehow acquired, his face filled with jealousy and resentment, inwardly roaring:

"Why should I?!"

"I am your own grand-disciple! I carried your bags the whole way! I was your porter the whole way!"

"She only helped pick out a few clothes, and you're already giving her pointers and guidance?!"

"Master! Your favoritism is outrageous!!!"

Zhang Tianyi seemed to notice the strong sour smell coming from the doorway.

He turned his head slightly, looking at Zhang Chulan biting his handkerchief, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and deliberately raised his voice as he said:

"Oh, Chu Lan."

"Look how sensible and good at handling things is Linglong."

"What else can you do besides carry bags, you grown man?"

"When you get back tonight, pull the weeds in the yard. Consider it a way to train your character."

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Destroy it, hurry up, I can't live like this anymore!

Chapter 123 Thunder is a source of life; Old Lu and Xiao Feng's visit

An afternoon at Xishan Manor.

By the pool, Zhang Tianyi changed into a Buddhist robe.

He was completely immersed in the large woven beach chair, with a palm-leaf fan covering his face to block out the sun.

On the small round table beside me is a glass of plum juice with ice.

Two meters away from him, on the steps of the shallow end of the swimming pool, Chen Duo was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.

"Girl, don't use brute force to press down."

From beneath the palm-leaf fan came Zhang Tianyi's slow and deliberate voice.

"The primordial Gu in your body has been with you for over a decade and has long become a part of your body. The more you treat it as an enemy and try to eliminate it, the more fiercely it will resist."

Zhang Tianyi extended a finger and gently moved the fan covering his face aside a crack, looking at Chen Duo's slightly furrowed brows, and softly offered some guidance:

"Thunder magic is generally perceived as destruction and divine punishment. But this is only the surface."

"The Book of Changes says, 'Zhen represents thunder, and in this time it represents spring. When spring thunder roars, all things revive. The true innate element of thunder is the ultimate 'vitality' at its core."

"Feel the temperature of the thunder seed in your dantian. Let it flow through your blood to embrace and assimilate those poisons."

Chen Duo's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Under Zhang Tianyi's guidance, her originally tense shoulders gradually relaxed.

Gradually, a faint purple arc of electricity leaped out from Chen Duo's fair fingertips.

"Zi..."

The electric arc fell into the pool water below and spread out silently.

A purple ripple appeared on the water's surface.

The faint black lines on Chen Duo's neck dimmed further under the influence of this aura.

"Hmm, not bad. Excellent comprehension."

Zhang Tianyi removed the palm-leaf fan with satisfaction, picked up the plum juice, and took a sip.

"Remember this feeling: water benefits all things without striving, and thunder can also nourish things silently. Take it slow, don't rush."

"Yes, Master."

Chen Duo opened her eyes, a hint of joyful realization flashing in her green pupils.

Zhang Tianyi put down his cup, but his gaze went beyond the swimming pool and landed behind a Taihu stone rockery a dozen meters away.

He wasn't angry; instead, a half-smile played at the corners of his lips as he spoke casually:

"Those two eavesdroppers behind the artificial hill are breathing louder than my water filter pump."

"What? Do I, the Daoist, have to invite you out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from behind the artificial hill.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chulan, with messy hair and a forced smile, leaned out.

Behind him, Wang Ye, carrying a thermos, followed out with a helpless expression.

"Hehe... Master, your ears are amazing, even more sensitive than radar."

Zhang Chulan shamelessly approached, rubbing his hands together and saying ingratiatingly:

"Grandson, I was just curious because you were teaching my junior uncle some real skills. I absolutely did not intend to steal any of the secret techniques passed down in our Celestial Master's Mansion!"

"Stealing knowledge?"

Zhang Tianyi glanced at him and sneered, "With your meager foundation in Yang Wu Lei, you wouldn't be able to learn it even if I taught you."

"If you're going to eavesdrop, just do it. Why make up such a lame excuse?"

Zhang Tianyi was not angry.

He pointed to two empty chairs next to him, gesturing for them to sit down.

"Since you've both heard it, I'll take this opportunity to give you two a few pointers, so that people won't say I'm keeping things to myself as an elder."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly sat up straight, looking just like a model student listening attentively to a lecture.

Wang Ye also dropped his lazy demeanor and became serious.

Zhang Tianyi looked at Zhang Chulan and gently shook his head:

"Grandson, your Yang Five Thunder technique is too stiff."

"For the past ten years or so, you have suppressed yourself too much in order to be patient. You are too strong and easily broken."
