A Long Grind to Daoist Monarch

Chapter 391 - 241: Young Master, Jade Silkworm Armor

Early the next morning.

Bai Qi rubbed the dragon-shaped jade pendant on his right hand, lowered his eyes, and stared at the spinning nameless ink talisman.

Apart from the Dao Seed and Divine Seed hanging high above, all other skills beneath shimmered like stars, exuding a faint brilliance.

As time passed, most of the skills illuminated by it had reached the level of perfection, akin to tender fruits hanging on branches, giving an immense sense of satisfaction.

It was like a hardworking old farmer looking at his bountiful fields, feeling that his year-long hard work had finally paid off.

"Fishing, blacksmithing, cooking, butchering... these life skills seem trivial but will definitely come in handy someday and shouldn’t be neglected."

Bai Qi’s gaze fell on the King Ming’s Rage, which had transformed into a genuine skill level under the guidance of Master Chen Xing.

He pondered when he might again capture some enlightenment and grasp the Yin-Yang Hammer.

The former was a defensive move that could temporarily unleash full Qi and Blood Power, forming a Vajra Wall Barrier to repel attacks;

while the latter could use divine intent to transform into Yin and Yang, like a huge millstone, obliterating the flesh and body.

It was a top-notch killer move!

"Yin-Yang Great Hammer, vanquish all evils!"

Bai Qi immersed himself in absorbing the essence and comprehension, his eyes flickering, deep in thought:

"Using the physical body as a vessel, crossing the bitter sea of the mortal world, using fist and palm as the law, transcending malevolent deeds!

This move against demonic evil, absolutely outstanding in effect!"

Bai Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, the yin-yang qi swirling around his nose.

Due to unlocking his nasal senses, the life and death that ordinary people could not comprehend were extremely clear to him.

The world around him seemed like one of black and white, clear above and turbid below, merging and rising occasionally.

"The Yin-Yang Hammer is to extinguish yin with yang, to cross evildoers with the heart... If other second or third-level practitioners wanted to accomplish this, it would be challenging.

But with my cultivation of the ’Dragon Handling Yellow Springs Sutra,’ I can completely manage it. After ten days or so of good contemplation, I should be able to master it."

Bai Qi took a deep breath, slowly retracting his breathing exercise posture, and got up to wash up.

Daily cultivation is like pouring water into a vat; no matter how wide or vast your limbs and bones are, they have a limit.

Overflow if full, not enough if lacking.

Otherwise, with Bai Qi’s personality, he would gladly forgo eating and drinking, taking elixirs, practicing for ten hours before stopping.

After all, every bit of effort he put in came with great rewards.

"Master Bai is awake. I’ll have someone prepare breakfast immediately."

Housekeeper Gui appeared timely in the backyard, standing respectfully outside the arched door, seeming to await orders.

"No need to be so formal."

Bai Qi wrapped in his robe pushed open the door, breathing in the floating light and airy qi of the courtyard.

The so-called Feng Shui treasure land is simply a place full of vitality, abundant and thriving, making one’s stay physically and mentally comfortable, and spiritually invigorated.

This Jiuque Platform Villa of the He Family is indeed top-notch.

"Eating well, sleeping soundly, these days are truly comfortable!"

He still had his eyes on those five Dragon Scale Pines, a kind of precious plant and rare wood, noted for its profound feng shui effects, highly favored by the upper echelons.

It is said that within the Divine Capital Imperial City, there is a grand and magnificent palace named "Tan Palace."

Built with golden silk sandalwood over a thousand years old, every three hours, it can gather a wisp of "Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Qi" that extends life.

Even those on their deathbeds, if moved inside, could cling to a thread of life.

With careful nurturing, meticulous rest, supplemented by spirit pills and wonderful medicine.

They could even achieve the reversal of life and death, rejuvenating from decay back to life.

Just hearing about it sounds incredible!

"Master Bai, the high-ranking families in the County City are all sending invitations, do you want to take a look?"

Bai Qi spent half an hour standing in the health care posture, consolidating his Qi and blood, refining the precious bones within.

He walked down the covered corridor to the front hall, where a round table was already set with steaming breakfast.

The food was not abundant, rather simple, mainly a few rice cakes, complemented with vinegar-cooked bean sprouts, hot sour cabbage, and a light stew with a pot of Eight Immortals Soup.

"The medical book mentioned that in spring eating, one should adhere to the eight-character motto: ’reduce sour, increase sweetness to nourish the spleen.’

It should be a combination of ’vegetables, fruits, livestock, grains.’

The cook you’ve hired understands this principle very well."

Bai Qi glanced over it and couldn’t help but praise.

The stew pot contained warm-natured venison and cool-natured duck meat, using both warm and cool properties together, not harming the spleen and stomach. The rice cakes were a perfect mix of coarse and fine grains.

"As long as Master Bai is satisfied."

Housekeeper Gui sighed with relief. The He Family especially hired a cook from Fajing Temple in Yihai Prefecture, known for their vegetarian meals.

Martial Artists who have achieved the fourth training level all pay great attention to the conditioning and protection of the body shell.

Especially after breaking into the third training level, more emphasis is placed on nourishing the spirit and maintaining health, with every detail of supplementing meals carefully considered.

They eagerly exploit all sorts of techniques to increase the possibility of advancing to the Grandmaster level.

"Regarding the invitations, please trouble Brother Jingfeng to select one or two that seem favorable, and when I have some free time, I’ll accompany him to meet them."

Bai Qi handed over the choice to He Jingfeng, returning the favor as it were.

This gesture made it clear to other high-ranking families in the industry that he shared a close relationship with the He Family.

Giving the embattled He Family a chance to catch their breath temporarily.

He did not oppose others’ schemes or attempts to profit from him.

This was a different form of value manifestation.

Few loves or hates in the world are without cause, most relationships are mutually beneficial and emotionally invested.

Unselfish giving without expectation of return, even close relatives may not be able to achieve it.

"Master Bai’s magnanimity! Willing to give the Young Master face! The He Family is exceedingly grateful!"
