"Slow down, slow down. You're just like a skinny monkey!"
On the grassy lawn in front of the stand-alone villa on the island in the center of the lake in the villa complex, the ground was covered in a layer of silver by the snow falling from the sky.
As a southerner who had never seen snow before, Lu Guoguo was in high-spirits playing on the grassy lawn. Although she was dressed in thin clothes, she did not feel cold at all.
The reason for this was that her cultivation had already reached a higher level, and she did not fear the changing seasons. She could already protect herself from the cold subconsciously with her Spiritual Qi.
Initially, her father, Lu Tianxiang, was a little worried, as, after all, this was not in the realm of common sense.
He still thought like a normal person, and playing around in the snow on a day of heavy snowfall with just one layer of clothes would be unbearable for an adult, much less a child.
However, her mother, Liu Wanrong, was more open-minded and did not think there was anything wrong. Anyway, Lu Xuan was playing with her, so there was no problem.
The entire grassy lawn was filled with Lu Guoguo's chime-like laughter. As a southerner who had not seen much of the world, Lu Guoguo felt that this was truly amazing.
Lu Xuan only felt amused watching her play. He was not worried that Guoguo would catch a cold or fever, as, in any case, Guoguo's current cultivation level was comparable to a hidden energy master. Although she was just passively being guided through the cultivation process by Lu Xuan, the Vigor she cultivated could already circulate throughout her body.
She had also grown significantly in size and was about the size of a 7 or 8-year-old child now. Her height almost reached Lu Xuan's waist, and compared to other children of the same age, she was obviously much taller.
Lu Xuan grabbed Lu Guoguo, picking her up like he would a skinny monkey, and said, "That's enough playing for now; it's time to train!"
"Oh!"
Lu Guoguo very obediently listened to Lu Xuan and started to assume a half-squatting position.
This was Lu Xuan's way of training his younger sister's nature. With regards to cultivation, children generally did not find it enjoyable, and it was at times like this that a child's nature was very important.
The habits one picked up as a child could affect the rest of their life.
At this time, in the living room, Lu Shanshan had a bitter grimace as she clutched a brush dipped in vermillion ink, earnestly drawing a talisman stroke by stroke.
"Big bro, when will I finish drawing these!" Lu Shanshan shouted at Lu Xuan, who was outside the main door.
Without turning to look, Lu Xuan replied, "When you finish a hundred useable Vajra Amulets, I'll let you out to play!"
"Aaah, Big Bro, it's so rare for it to snow in the south. I even promised my friends we'd go build snowmen and have snowball fights!" Lu Shanshan complained in displeasure.
She was very unhappy about getting grounded at home by Lu Xuan, feeling as though she was being confined as a child laborer by an unscrupulous profiteer.
She had clearly seen how Lu Xuan sold all the Vajra Amulets she drew at a hundred thousand a piece. In the end, she only got a cut of a hundred dollars for her hard work.
He was simply the most unscrupulous profiteer in history, squeezing children dry for their labor. She wanted her hard-earned money returned!
Still, she thought about the ten thousand dollars she would receive on finishing these hundred pieces, and with a grimace on her delicate face, she continued drawing these Vajra Amulets.
After all, although the contract fee of ten thousand was only one percent of the money earned through her hard work, it was still a large sum of money. For many college students, the sum would be their spending allowance for a whole year.
However, she did not realize that Lu Xuan's purpose for forcing her to do this hard work was twofold. Aside from teaching her how to draw talismans, he was also training her to control the Spiritual Qi in her body. For her, this was more useful than shutting herself away and cultivating.
"So what if it's snowing? There'll be many more days of snow in the future!"
Lu Xuan looked to the distance, where the ground was covered in silver snow, even though snowfall in the south was already a very rare occurrence.
Besides, it was only October!
Even in the northern areas, it was not time for snow, much less in the south!
Even so, Lu Xuan did not find this strange. In his past life, after the revival of spirit qi, these kinds of situations were commonplace.
The climate had also begun to change from its original course completely.
In the distance, in the areas at the edge of the island in the center of the lake, two shadowy figures stood in the forest.
It was none other than Zhang Hongyang and his apprentice Shi Danze.
"Master, this formation is really magical. Ever since the Young Master arranged a Spirit Gathering Formation around this villa, I feel like I'm sleeping better, my cultivation speed has increased, and my spirit feels a hundred times stronger!" Shi Danze said in a low voice.
"The Young Master's means are absolutely unheard and unseen. It's like the methods used by those celestial beings of myths and legends!"
Zhang Hongyang nodded and replied, "Indeed, it's as you say. I've met some Fengshui Masters before in Southeast Asia, and some of them had read these skills. However, compared to the Young Master's ability, they are basically nothing. The Young Master only made some slight modifications to the original terrain to create a formation. You know what this means? It means the Young Master's understanding of formations has already reached a terrifying level!"
Zhang Hongyang thought back to his time in Southeast Asia. The Fengshui Masters he had met before were not all complete frauds, but even those with real skills would require people to build houses to their exact specifications to achieve the best effects.
"Just by approaching this villa in the center of the lake, I feel like my spirit becomes completely relaxed, and I can easily enter a state of cultivation, stimulating my potential life force!" Shi Danze clicked his tongue in wonder.
Zhang Hongyang nodded in acknowledgment. This was also commonly known in cultivation. When cultivating oneself, one had to be sincere and remain calm so that the effects of the cultivation would be multiplied.
There were many monks who would immerse themselves in the fragrant fumes of incense while they chanted sutras, so as to enter this kind of inner state.
"The Young Master is not old, but his methods are already godlike. We don't even know where he inherited his abilities from, to actually be so powerful!"
Zhang Hongyang sighed sorrowfully."Living in a place like this, one can enjoy great peace at all times. Even a normal person can live to a ripe old age here, and a Cultivator will have a better time cultivating."
Originally, his two apprentices took turns to be on duty, but when he was free, he was also willing to stand guard for this reason. After Lu Xuan had made his modifications, this villa in the center of the lake had become a haven for cultivation.
Furthermore, spirit qi continued to gather here, becoming very rich and dense. In any case, he had not found a better place than this for cultivation.
In the beginning, he still had some reservations about submitting to Lu Xuan. However, he was now completely willing to surrender himself to his master.
In a short span of time, not only had he broken through to the National Guardian level, but he had also completely consolidated his cultivation.
There was not long to go before he could break through to the Divine level.
This was progress he had not even dreamt about.
Still, even with his current National Guardian level cultivation, he felt like he could not see the end of Young Master Lu Xuan's cultivation, and he even felt like the gap between them was growing.
Though Lu Xuan was currently just standing there in his field of view, it felt as though he could break through the air and fly away at any moment.
It was an extremely amazing feeling. It was like Lu Xuan was on the verge of leaving the secular world.
As for Shi Danze, he could perceive even less of Lu Xuan's abilities. He only had the vague sense that Lu Xuan was probably very strong, but he had no bottom line to judge his strength on.
