Chapter 1899 - 1900: Sudden Enlightenment
The next day, early morning.
Birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The whole family once again gathered in the villa’s dining room.
Now, as a Qi Gong Master, Chiba Sakurako seemed noticeably better after a night’s rest. Even though she still appeared somewhat frail upon close inspection, she moved without any issues.
Seeing Chiba Sakurako like this, Lin Tong and the others were all taken aback.
This martial arts expert is indeed different!
"Ahem!"
In the somewhat quiet dining room, Ye Xuan coughed lightly twice and looked at Lin Tong and the others with a peculiar expression, "What are you all thinking? Why do you all seem so strange?"
The women snapped back to reality.
"Think about what, you know it well within yourself." Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan with lingering anger in her tone.
"Isn’t it unreasonable? How would I know what you all are thinking?" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Since I finished my seclusion yesterday, you guys have been acting all mysterious. What’s going on?"
Lin Tong and the others twitched their lips. After doing such a beastly thing, how can you dare to ask what’s wrong?
Leng Qiuge, with her straightforward nature, couldn’t restrain herself and was about to speak.
Liu Ying hurriedly stopped her, shaking her head at her helplessly while also casting a smiling glance at Chiba Sakurako.
Leng Qiuge was stunned, observing Chiba Sakurako for a moment, and realized that Sakurako was focusing on drinking her porridge, occasionally sneaking timid glances.
Those eyes, they couldn’t be more gentle!
"Oh... alright."
Leng Qiuge was speechless and suddenly lost the desire to stand up for Chiba Sakurako anymore.
Lin Tong, upon seeing this, was also dumbfounded for a moment, then showed a helpless expression.
At first, their anger was simply because they felt Ye Xuan’s beastly behavior was bullying Chiba Sakurako too much. But now, seeing Sakurako’s appearance, she didn’t seem to feel wronged at all. In fact, she seemed happy.
Can they still call Ye Xuan a beast?
They can only say they are kindred spirits!
Northern Federation women are really greedy...
"It’s nothing, it’s over now." Lin Tong spoke lightly, putting a mysterious full stop to the matter.
Ye Xuan was completely confused, but he didn’t want to ask any more questions.
Women are just big pig trotters; their unreasonable behavior is something you get used to.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Xuan suddenly said, "By the way, wife, don’t go to work today. The Divine Elixir is ready. Later, I’ll give you all an epiphany."
"Okay, you arrange it," Lin Tong nodded.
An hour later.
Ye Xuan, Lin Tong, Leng Qiuge, and Liu Ying all appeared in the underground chamber, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, making them all feel completely at ease here.
Lin Tong and the other two stood side by side, while Ye Xuan stood before them with his arms folded, showing a rare solemn and serious expression.
Like a male instructor, with three female soldiers of unparalleled beauty.
Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over the three, saying sternly, "Next, I will teach you a set of foundational body techniques. You must pay close attention; if you can’t master these techniques, even with the Life and Death Pill, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of an epiphany."
The Life and Death Pill was how Ye Xuan named those miraculous elixirs.
"Alright!"
Lin Tong and the others nodded, each with a look of seriousness and gravity on their faces.
Martial arts, to them, was once such an unattainable domain!
Even until recently, they didn’t dare to imagine that one day, they would have the opportunity to delve into this field and become formidable top experts.
They felt excited and thrilled because of it.
As long as they successfully achieve an epiphany today, they can become the top experts Ye Xuan talked about, no longer being a burden to Ye Xuan, and instead, being able to help him a lot.
This is what they have longed for in their dreams...
"Watch carefully."
Ye Xuan stepped back several paces and then started demonstrating a set of simple body techniques under the intense focus of Lin Tong and the others.
This is considered an entry-level body technique for martial arts training, easy to learn, especially practical for those with no martial arts background.
Indeed, even without those exemplary martial arts scrolls from the ancient tomb ruins, Ye Xuan had many better body techniques.
But, everything must be taken step by step.
Epiphany already has a flavor of achieving instant success. If Ye Xuan hurriedly imparted profound and powerful techniques to Lin Tong and the others, the time spent would be immeasurable, and it could even backfire, the risk is just too great.
The fact was as Ye Xuan expected.
Even though this set of techniques was already simple enough, for these three who rarely exercised, it was still very challenging.
Ye Xuan had to demonstrate it three times before they could remember each move.
Then they practiced dozens of times before they started to get the hang of it.
After such an ordeal, most of the day had passed.
But strangely enough, even being ordinary people, Lin Tong and the others didn’t feel hungry or exhausted after working so hard all day; instead, they felt more energetic and vibrant.
For this, Ye Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
It’s evident that Lin Tong and the others had simply never been exposed to martial arts. At first contact, they seemed a bit dull, but their physical talents were quite exceptional.
Because of this excellence, they unknowingly absorbed the Spiritual Energy in the air while practicing the techniques, which kept them from feeling tired or hungry and left them even more powerful and spirited.
This counts as a pleasant surprise.
After another half-day, it was nighttime outside.
Lin Tong and the others finally became proficient in the body techniques Ye Xuan taught them.
"Good, no problem now."
Looking at the three in front of him, sweating and fragrant, Ye Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "Next, you can take the Life and Death Pill. After taking it, continue practicing this set of body techniques. Until I say stop, just keep practicing, day and night."
"Alright!" they responded.
Ye Xuan pulled out the pre-prepared three Life and Death Pills. The red and blue pills, resembling Yin Yang extremes, looked quite dazzling under the light.
"One for each of you."
Lin Tong and the others naturally had no doubts. Once they received the Life and Death Pills, they immediately swallowed them, suddenly feeling like their bodies were about to explode.
This sensation felt as though an immense power suddenly appeared inside them, yet they had no idea how to control and release it.
Ye Xuan urgently commanded, "Practice!"
