Another Day of Doing Nothing

Night.

All sounds are hushed.

Insects chirp softly, warm currents gurgle.

Light mist drifts over the surface of the bath, carrying the fragrance of herbs, resembling a fairyland in the soft moonlight.

Veiled in the mist, a cascade of dark hair spreads out, like a stream of ink, a beautiful sight.

Lingzhou Yue reclines against the edge of the tub, her slender jade arm dangling a Wine Bamboo Tube.

Xiao Ran's extraordinary performance had caught her attention.

She had hoped Xiao Ran would never practice Qi Refining, but it would indeed be a considerable regret if a talent as insightful as him could not cultivate for life.

Filial Piety is precious, but she values Xiao Ran's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao in architectural skills even more, far surpassing her own.

In view of this, she decided that even if Xiao Ran could never practice Qi Refining, she would do everything she could to extend his life.

Moreover, he is so sensible and filial, and his appearance is also pleasing.

Such a precious disciple is a rare find and must be well protected.

But as a generation's powerhouse, she didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing.

However, this disciple is indeed a treasure. Even if he cannot practice Qi Refining, she has already figured out a plan to forcibly extend his life.

Her gaze passed through the mist, looking at her reflection in the water, the long-lost clean self.

So I am still a woman...

Thinking this, she shook her head again, raised her arm and chugged a pot of wine.

The murky fake wine was like heavenly rain, flowing down her neck to the snowy mountains, merging into the sea.

Old Pine by the cliff.

Moonlight like water.

A gentle breeze came, as if it could stir up ripples in the watery moonlight.

Xiao Ran sat cross-legged on the thick Pine Root, breathing and meditating, pretending to be cultivating.

In fact, he was waiting for wool.

The wool comes from the sheep, and finally—

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 12 Filial Piety Points!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 8 Filial Piety Points!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 Filial Piety Points!

Congratulations...

Good heavens! Although he didn't know the specific Filial Piety act corresponding to the Filial Piety Points, this wave was a huge profit! Xiao Ran carefully calculated that he had actually gained thirty Filial Piety Points.

He looked towards the disciple quarters, as if through the wall, he could see the abundant Filial Piety Points overflowing from Master's body.

Master is truly amazing! Next.

He needed to sort things out.

Using the Ring-Opening Buckle given by Lin Yunzi, he took out the standard-issue Sword and spare Zongzhi Mountain Disciple Uniform from the Storage Ring and placed them into the System Storage Space.

For a transmigrator, the system is the safest place.

System panel.

[Host]: Xiao Ran.

[Cultivation]: Mortal.

[Master]: Lingzhou Yue.

[Filial Piety Points]: 34.

[Skills]: Max Level Architecture.

[Storage]: Spirit Stone x7; Space Ring x1; Sword x1; Zongzhi Mountain Disciple Uniform x1; Ring-Opening Buckle x1; Kite Talisman x8; Myriad Resonance Original Fragment x1.

[Shop]: Can use Mind Concentration to open.

With a total of 34 Filial Piety Points, he could confidently purchase the Art of Resonance.

Xiao Ran held the fragment of the heart sutra and triggered the purchase prompt again.

[Detected Heaven Rank Cultivation Method - Myriad Resonance Fragment. Although this Cultivation Method is still in a sealed state in the shop, the host now possesses the original fragment. Do you wish to spend 10 Filial Piety Points to learn the Mortal level of this Cultivation Method?]

He remembered that the last time, there was no option to confirm the purchase in the prompt box.

Xiao Ran thought that it was probably because the system determined that he had enough Filial Piety Points that it appeared.

It was like going to a shopping mall, you have to dress like you're rich for the staff to actively ask about your purchasing intentions.

What a realistic system.

Heh, I'm a filial piety fanatic, money is no object!

"Purchase."

[Congratulations to the host for learning the Heaven Rank Cultivation Method: Myriad Resonance!]

Xiao Ran's mind buzzed, and he instantly sublimated.

In just an instant, his Sea of Consciousness was as clear as the starry sky.

His whole being seemed to dissolve on the spot, turning into a Spiritual Energy, merging into the heavens and earth, the Dao, nature...

Entering the interior of all things, listening to their "voices."

Gurgling water, rustling insects, whistling Pine Roots, silent strange rocks, curling mist, leisurely flying cranes...

The sounds were very weak, but the natural Spiritual Energy rate of all things was clearly visible.

For a moment, he could even hear his Master, who was taking a bath, thinking of him.

It must have been my filial piety that moved her to tears! Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Soon, he discovered that Master was already asleep in the bathtub.

However, he didn't plan to wake Master.

He thought, when dawn breaks and Master's skin is all wrinkled from soaking, wouldn't she have to beg him to manually smooth it out? Wouldn't that be another wave of Filial Piety Points? I'm such a filial disciple!

He didn't know if it was because it was his first day and he was too excited, or if the Spiritual Energy was too abundant, making him refreshed, or if he was exploiting Master too much, or if the Art of Resonance made his spirit clear...

In short, he wasn't tired at all at the moment.

Good, very energetic!

He suddenly realized that not only was the Heart Sutra clear, but his whole body's meridians and acupoints seemed to be much smoother, his physique greatly enhanced, and he seemed to have the power of Body Tempering...

As expected of a cultivation player, others painstakingly take pills and meditate, and still can't level up much, but he's different, he achieved enlightenment in one fell swoop, ascending in broad daylight.

However, the Heart Sutra is just a Heart Sutra, it must be integrated into a Cultivation Method, and practiced into a skilled routine, before it can be considered to have combat power.

Xiao Ran decided to practice a Cultivation Method first!

He would try a fist technique first.

He didn't know any fist techniques, he just clenched his fist, stood on the edge of the cliff, and threw a clumsy punch towards the moonlit sea of clouds!

This punch seemed unremarkable, but it was like a stone falling into a calm lake, rippling through the air.

Bang! His fist power instantly resonated with the air, spreading out with a bang.

The fist power accelerated instantly, and soon resonated with the Spiritual Energy of the sea of clouds.

Bang! The fist power accelerated again, and finally resonated with the space itself...

Bang! Three sounds burst out—

After three superimpositions of power, the fist power was vigorous, and the fist speed was as fast as lightning.

It actually spread hundreds of feet away, shaking open a hole in the moonlit sea of mist, which did not close for a long time...

At this moment, Xiao Ran understood that he didn't need to practice at all.

The Art of Resonance contains divine sense, and once the Heart Sutra is understood, everything is understood.

Even the way of exerting force is an extremely precise muscle and bone resonance style!

Why is there a need to practice? This is just the power of a Mortal, what would happen if he reached Qi Refining?

Xiao Ran tried a palm technique.

With three slaps, the moonlit sea of mist was scattered with a bang.

It can be seen that the penetrating power of the palm technique is not as good as the fist technique, but the shock power far exceeds it.

Then try the Sword Art.

Xiao Ran swung his Sword, and three sword cries were heard in succession, each one sharper than the last, and finally a miserable, distant crane cry was heard.

The cutting force of the Sword Art travels the farthest! Finally, he tried his movement technique.

Stepping on the ground, he actually resonated with the mountain, emitting a slight vibration.

Taking a step into the air, he actually resonated with the air. Although he couldn't fly, he could jump several yards high.

He could even walk on the wind, running dozens of steps out of thin air, which could be called lightness skill.

If he carried a powered speaker, he would be Qiao Feng.

Xiao Ran hissed and gasped.

The power came too fast, too violently, too unreal! According to the combat power theory he knew, his current power had already exceeded the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Below Qi Refining, he was invincible! If he used it skillfully, he could even fight a few rounds against Qi Refining cultivators.

Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, terrifying! Xiao Ran thought, if Master hadn't given him the incomplete Cultivation Method, how could the price of such a Cultivation Method be less than tens of millions? After finishing his practice.

He was covered in stinky sweat.

Xiao Ran wanted to take a bath, but Master was occupying the bathtub.

So he had a brainstorm, and his body suddenly shook, evaporating all the sweat on his body...

This is also possible?

Xiao Ran quietly returned to the disciple quarters, washed his dirty clothes, and hung them on the balcony to dry.

He changed into a spare set of clean clothes and went back to his eight-square-meter bed to sleep.

Pillow on his arm and sigh:

"Three years, finally starting to enjoy the treatment of a transmigrator!" That night, Xiao Ran and Lingzhou Yue both had a good sleep.

Early the next morning.

When Xiao Ran got up, he found that Master had already gotten up early and started her morning practice on the Pine Root.

How diligent! Lingzhou Yue's morning practice consisted of drinking wine, stretching, and sighing, "Today is another uneventful day."

Xiao Ran was shocked.

Looking closely, Master was radiant, full of energy, and her skin was as smooth as jade, white and rosy, without any signs of wrinkles from soaking.

What kind of constitution is this?

Saying you're an Immortal, you have to pee in the middle of the night.

Saying you're ordinary, you don't get wrinkles from bathing.

Sure enough, Immortals cannot be calculated by common sense! After soaking in the bath all night, Lingzhou Yue felt refreshed and transparent. Seeing Xiao Ran get up, she was in a great mood and waved to him, "Hey, you, come and massage my cervical spine. Your bathtub design is unreasonable. I had a stiff neck by the bathtub last night."

This is too much!

Is the bathtub for you to sleep in? That being said, seeing that there was wool to be sheared, Xiao Ran trotted over happily.

This time, he massaged Master's cervical spine for a full half an hour before the first Filial Piety Point arrived.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 Filial Piety Point!]

At this rate, Xiao Ran estimated that even if he massaged Master thoroughly today, he probably wouldn't get more than three Filial Piety Points.

It's not worth the loss.

From this, it seems that the decision to build the house yesterday was really too correct, otherwise he wouldn't have enough ten Filial Piety Points today.

Thus, he also came to a system rule—

The same act of filial piety, although you can repeatedly obtain Filial Piety Points, the decay is serious. After a maximum of three times, you may no longer be able to get any more benefits.

But, what if you change the trick a bit? Thinking like this, Xiao Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He channeled the power of resonance with both hands and pressed them down on the Master's fair nape.
