"Ruoxuan, I'm back..."

Ning Wangshu knocked on the door and called out.

Before long, Ning Ruoxuan opened the door.

After entering, Ning Wangshu immediately said, "Ruoxuan, give me your bank card number. I'll transfer some money to you."

"Brother, I still have enough money..."

Before Ning Ruoxuan could finish, Ning Wangshu smiled and said, "Be good. This is from your Older Brother, so take it. Buy whatever you want normally; don't scrimp and save. Your Brother isn't short on money..."

Seeing him say that, Ning Ruoxuan nodded and replied, "All right. Thanks, Brother!"

She then gave Ning Wangshu her bank card number.

Ning Wangshu quickly used his phone to transfer two hundred thousand to his younger sister.

Then Ning Wangshu said, "All right, Ruoxuan. I'll teach you how to cultivate now. Come, just sit cross-legged like I am..."

Ning Wangshu immediately demonstrated for his younger sister, assuming a five-hearts-facing-heaven posture.

Hearing that Ning Wangshu was going to teach her cultivation, Ning Ruoxuan became a little excited. She hurriedly copied his five-hearts-facing-heaven posture and asked, "Brother, like this?"

"Mmm, that's right!"

Ning Wangshu nodded slightly and added, "All right, stay seated like that and don't move. Leave the rest to your Older Brother. I'll first help you with Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation."

As he spoke, Ning Wangshu raised a hand and took a jade bottle directly from his Storage Ring.

Inside was Supreme Jade Marrow!

This was a peerless treasure used for Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation. Even in the Cangyuan Realm, only disciples with exceptionally outstanding aptitude in top sects could use a treasure of this caliber for Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation!

Not only could it wash away the impurities and filth contained within one's flesh and meridians, it could also widen and nourish the meridians, making them tougher and capable of bearing more Spiritual Qi in circulation and refining Spiritual Qi faster.

The speed of cultivation depended first on the strength of one's cultivation technique, second on how much Spiritual Qi the Outside World could provide, and third on how much Spiritual Qi impact one's meridians could withstand.

Meridians were like pipelines, cultivation techniques were valves, and the Spiritual Qi of the Outside World was a Reservoir.

How much water could flow through the pipeline was determined by all three. If the Reservoir had no water, then even if the valve were opened to its fullest and the pipeline were as wide as could be, very little water could flow into it.

Conversely, if the pipeline were too narrow, then no matter how much water was in the Reservoir or how wide the valve was opened, once it reached the limit the pipeline could contain and bear, it could not be made any faster.

After opening the jade bottle, Ning Wangshu immediately used spiritual power to draw out the Supreme Jade Marrow within and guide it into Ning Ruoxuan's meridians, slowly beginning Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation for her.

Ning Ruoxuan only felt a warm current slowly flowing through her body. It was incredibly comfortable, as though she were soaking in a hot spring. She could not help closing her eyes and immersing herself in it, enjoying it immensely.

At the same time.

Wisps of nearly imperceptible turbid air slowly seeped out through the pores all over Ning Ruoxuan's body...

Meanwhile, Ning Wangshu controlled the Supreme Jade Marrow to perform Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation for his younger sister while examining her constitution, considering which cultivation technique would be more suitable to impart to her later.

A moment later, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ning Wangshu's face. He said softly, "I never expected Ruoxuan's aptitude to reach Eighth Grade. She truly is my younger sister!"

"With her constitution, the most suitable cultivation technique is none other than the Moonlight Tai Xuan Scripture. Mmm, I'll teach her this technique later..."

In the Cangyuan Realm, cultivation aptitude was divided into First through Ninth Grade, with Ninth Grade being the highest.

Above that were various special constitutions.

Therefore, Ning Ruoxuan's Eighth Grade aptitude was undoubtedly extremely high. Even in the Cangyuan Realm, such aptitude could be called the aptitude of a genius.

The Moonlight Tai Xuan Scripture was the sect-defining cultivation technique of the Moon God Sect, a top sect in the Cangyuan Realm.

Back then, the Moon God Sect had become Ning Wangshu's mortal enemy. After Ning Wangshu destroyed the sect, this cultivation technique fell into his hands.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

Ning Wangshu finally completed Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation for his younger sister. He immediately stoppered the jade bottle again and sealed it with a Seal.

He then woke his younger sister, who was still immersed in the sensation. "All right, Ruoxuan. Hurry and take a bath first..."

Hearing Ning Wangshu's words so suddenly, Ning Ruoxuan jolted awake.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately felt sticky all over and terribly uncomfortable. At the same time, a strong, pungent stench wafted from her body.

"Ew, it stinks! brother, th-this stuff... what is it? Why is it sticking to me like this? It's so disgusting!"

Ning Ruoxuan looked at the sticky gray-black filth covering her body and immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Ning Wangshu smiled. "Isn't it the impurities and filth discharged from your own body? I just performed Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation for you..."

Ning Wangshu paused, then added, "You can also understand it as Marrow Cleansing. You've never cultivated before, so it's perfectly normal for your body to contain impurities and filth."

"So that's how it is! I never thought my body was actually so dirty..."

Ning Ruoxuan suddenly realized. Then, smelling the stench coming from herself, she frowned again and hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll go wash up first. This sticky feeling is too uncomfortable, and it stinks so badly!"

"Mmm, go on!"

Ning Wangshu gave a helpless laugh.

Ning Ruoxuan quickly stood up and ran into the bathroom...

More than ten minutes later, Ning Ruoxuan finally came out of the bathroom.

At that moment, her complexion was rosy and fair, while her skin was soft and delicate, as tender as a baby's.

"Brother, it feels like my skin has gotten so much better. It's far softer, more delicate, and smoother than before!"

Ning Ruoxuan touched her cheek with a delighted expression.

Ning Wangshu smiled. "Of course. After I performed Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation for you, the impurities and filth in your body were expelled. Naturally, your skin would improve."

"All right, come over quickly. I'll impart an immortal cultivation technique to you now. From now on, you only need to spend an hour cultivating each morning and evening."

"I'll give you Spirit Stones to assist your cultivation. Otherwise, Earth's Spiritual Qi is far too thin. If you relied entirely on absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Outside World, your cultivation speed would be far too slow..."

"Mmm!"

Ning Ruoxuan answered happily and quickly walked over.

After signaling for his younger sister to sit down, Ning Wangshu immediately formed a hand seal and directly imparted the contents of the Moonlight Tai Xuan Scripture to her through Imparting Dharma by Pouring.

With this method of imparting a cultivation technique, there was no possibility of forgetting it. All its contents were like an imprint branded into her mind...

After Ning Ruoxuan had fully received the contents of the Moonlight Tai Xuan Scripture, Ning Wangshu took out a Low-grade Spirit Stone and had her hold it, personally teaching her how to cultivate...

Under Ning Wangshu's instruction, Ning Ruoxuan quickly got the hang of it.

Another hour or so passed.

Ning Ruoxuan temporarily stopped cultivating. Opening her eyes, she looked at Ning Wangshu with delight. "Brother, this feeling of immortal cultivation... is so wonderful!"

"I can feel wisps of that Spiritual Qi entering my body, then circulating through my meridians according to the cultivation technique. And I can also feel that there's already a wisp of True Qi in my dantian!"

Ning Wangshu said with a chuckle, "I already helped you complete Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation, and I even used the finest treasure to do it. With Spirit Stones assisting your cultivation as well, the results naturally can't be compared to ordinary methods."

"If it were someone else, completing Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation would take a very long time, and it would be difficult to achieve such good results."

"Before completing Cleansing Meridians and Establishing Foundation, one can cultivate Qi as well, but the cultivation speed... would certainly leave much to be desired."

"Mm! Thanks, brother!"

Ning Ruoxuan smiled sweetly.

Ning Wangshu smiled and continued, "All right. From now on, remember to cultivate for at least an hour every morning and evening. After some time, the True Qi in your body should be enough to activate and wield."

"Then I'll teach you some basic combat methods and foundational Magic."

Afterward, Ning Wangshu briefly explained the realms of immortal cultivation to Ning Ruoxuan...

The first realm of immortal cultivation was the Qi Refining Stage, followed by the Forming Yuan Stage. Both realms were divided into nine layers, and after that came the Golden Core Stage...

Beginning with the Golden Core Stage, each realm was generally divided only into early, middle, and late stages.

Ning Wangshu only gave Ning Ruoxuan a general explanation of these three realms. After all, reaching the Golden Core Stage was still a very distant prospect for her, so there was no need to tell her so much right now...
