The Idea of Creating His Own Cultivation Technique

Hearing Zhang Tiedan's words, Zhang Xuanchen felt even more pain in his heart.

If I hadn't left that day, perhaps...

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Zhang Xuanchen didn't know what to say, so he gently patted Zhang Tiedan's back with both hands to help him catch his breath and comfort him.

None of the three spoke; they stood quietly under the tree.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a flurry of fallen leaves.

The surroundings were quiet, except for Zhang Tiedan's intermittent sobs.

At the age of seven, he carried the burden of a blood feud and survived alone in the wild for five years. Only he knows how much suffering he endured; outsiders could never understand.

When Xiao Yan, then eighteen, went out to train, he was accompanied by the peerless expert, Elder Dan. Zhang Tiedan, however, was even younger and went alone...

As the setting sun slowly descended, Zhang Tiedan, perhaps having released all the pent-up grievances in his heart, or perhaps having found someone to rely on and confirmed his safety, actually fell asleep leaning against Zhang Xuanchen's chest.

His breathing was even, with only his body occasionally twitching involuntarily.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen gently picked him up and whispered, "Sleep peacefully."

With me here, you won't suffer any more injustices.

Then he looked at Zhang Chongxian and said, "Ancestor, thank you for your hard work."

The latter waved his hand and said, "We're family, why are we talking about these things?"

Moreover, I really like this little guy. After returning from the Yunjin Barren Ruins, I'm determined to give him some proper guidance.

With Thunder-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, your talent is in no way inferior to yours.

Thanks to the Qi Refining Art you left behind, I still managed to break through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer within five years, despite the lack of resources.

A few days ago, after killing the murderer at the Purple Cloud Sect, his Inner Demon were eliminated, and he directly advanced to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

You have a really good eye, kid.

"Oh, and don't forget to find him a suitable lightning-attribute cultivation Cultivation Method. A low-level Cultivation Method like the Qi Refining Art isn't good enough for him."

It's clear that the Ancestor really likes Zhang Tiedan.

This is a good thing. The Ancestor has cultivated for over three hundred years and has extremely rich cultivation experience, especially in the understanding of swordsmanship. Being able to receive his guidance is definitely a good thing for Zhang Tiedan.

Zhang Xuanchen laughed and said, "How could I possibly mistreat my own disciple?"

You should go and rest; the Yunjin Barren Ruins is not going anywhere.

It's okay to go a few days later.

"I'll have some good news for you after I've settled Iron Egg in."

Can't we say it now?

"No, if I told you, would you still obediently rest in the Lineage?"

After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen carried Zhang Tiedan and flew towards the Profound Heaven Villa.

The good news he mentioned was naturally about Zhang Xuance, who possessed a special physique; however, it wasn't all good news.

We still need to trouble Zhang Chongxian to find some things.

Watching Zhang Xuanchen's departing figure, Zhang Chongxian's lips curled into a slight smile.

He naturally knew that Zhang Xuanchen was concerned about him.

It's just that it's not expressed directly.

"This kid... sigh, he's a blessing to the Zhang Family."

I need to work hard too.

To the best of my ability, I will protect the younger generation and help them grow up safely.

In the Profound Heaven Villa, Luo Lingshuang was cooking in the kitchen with Little Lotus and Xuanjing.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators have already Grain Avoidance, it is still necessary to satisfy their appetites.

Especially for those who enjoy food.

Moreover, apart from her State of Mind, Luo Lingshuang's other aspects were at their peak, so she didn't need to spend too much time on cultivation.

So every day at the appointed time, she would cook with Little Lotus and the others.

Although they were said to be working together, only Luo Lingshuang, Little Lotus, and Little Peach were truly busy.

As for Xuanjing and the Great Sage, they didn't move; they just stood aside and watched, not because they were lazy.

Rather, it's because it's unnecessary, and might even lead to good intentions resulting in bad outcomes.

Just then, Luo Lingshuang frowned slightly.

He looked at Little Lotus and said, "Little Lotus, you stay here and watch over things for now."

Don't let Xuanjing and the Great Sage make a move.

"Okay." Little Lotus nodded gently, naturally sensing Zhang Xuanchen's presence.

And his mood seemed off.

Outside the courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Profound Heaven Villa, Zhang Xuanchen saw Luo Lingshuang standing at the gate, looking at him with concern.

The sadness was somewhat lessened.

Quickly adjusting her emotions, she smiled and said:

"You're back, Ling Shuang."

These days, Luo Lingshuang often goes out with Zhang Xuanli, but no one knows what they're doing.

When asked, Zhang Xuanli wouldn't say anything.

She simply gave him a mysterious smile and said, "It's a secret."

After that, although Zhang Xuanchen was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.

It's normal for girls to have some little secrets.

"Yes, I'm back." Luo Lingshuang nodded with a smile.

Then he turned his gaze to Zhang Tiedan: "Is he the apprentice you mentioned?"

"Has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen sighed.

In order not to disturb Zhang Tiedan's rest, a wisp of spiritual energy was cast upon him to isolate the sound.

He then spoke, "Some unexpected things did indeed happen."

He then described the information he had received from Zhang Chongxian.

As he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen's voice choked up again.

Li Lan and Zhang Qingqing took meticulous care of him for four or five days, and even spent all of their family's savings to cure him. How could he possibly forget such kindness?

But now...

After hearing Zhang Xuanchen's description, Luo Lingshuang's eyes also became a little moist.

She arrived in the unfamiliar South Sea Immortal Continent at the age of fifteen. During the first three years, she had Little Lotus's company, but she still felt lonely and isolated.

The boy before us, burdened with a blood feud, had survived alone for five years in the cruel world of cultivation since he was seven years old.

I admire him from the bottom of my heart, and at the same time feel extremely sorry for him.

He wanted to go to the Purple Cloud Sect and wreak havoc, but it was too late.

The grudges have been settled. If she were to attack the Purple Cloud Sect without cause, she would only be adding to her own karma.

"Ling Shuang, I won't be eating tonight."

"Let the Great Sage help me solve this."

Zhang Xuanchen was going to select a superior Cultivation Method for Zhang Tiedan to maximize the potential of his lightning Spirit Root.

Once he has resolved all the trivial matters at hand, he will go into seclusion to cultivate, improve his alchemy skills, and create a Cultivation Method that best suits him.

He had long had ideas about creating Cultivation Method; it wasn't simple, but it wasn't difficult either.

He wouldn't be so presumptuous as to create something entirely original; he simply didn't have the time. Instead, he planned to draw upon a large number of Wind Attribute, Fire Attribute, and Wind and Fire Dual Attributes Cultivation Method for modification and refinement.

With the help of the Xuanjing, it's not difficult to create a Cultivation Method that suits oneself. It's impossible to achieve it all at once; one can continuously improve it as one's cultivation level increases.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Luo Lingshuang did not insist and nodded in reply:

"Good.

Xuan Chen, don't be too sad or blame yourself. No one could have predicted what happened back then. It's not your fault.

The only thing we can do is to continue to care for Iron Egg in the years to come.

"I understand, don't worry." Zhang Xuanchen replied with a smile, then carried Zhang Tiedan towards the room.

Luo Lingshuang's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems I need two gifts to prepare myself for becoming Zhang Tiedan's Master's Wife in the future.
