Chapter 76 The Wei Family
Within the Heavenly Ladder System.
After Xiao Weiqing's ranking was fixed at 18th, he did not fight again. The ladder was just a place for him to test his strength and hone his skills.
Having a general understanding of my own strength, I still need to use the remaining time for training; every minute and every second is crucial now.
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the forum discussions casually and then paid no more attention. He was not complacent, knowing that this was just the beginning and the path of cultivation was still long.
Exit the ladder system.
I saw Jiang Peng's message and replied that I would arrive on time tomorrow.
Back at the villa.
"Even after opening the dantian, one cannot slack off."
Xiao Weiqing began his cultivation, first using the Samadhi True Fire Refining Divine Technique to cultivate spiritual energy, and then refining essence fire according to the cultivation method.
One good news, one bad news.
The good news is that spiritual energy cultivation is now faster.
It's not just because the dantian has been opened, but also because of the added bonus from the enhanced talent skill.
The bad news is that the refining of the essence fire is a bit slow, so slow that Xiao Weiqing suspects there might be something wrong with his cultivation.
"In the same amount of time, Qi fire can refine about 100 strands, but Jing fire can refine less than 20 strands."
Second Flame Essence: (18/1000) silk
"Is it because your physical body isn't strong enough?"
It seems I need to spend more time in the body tempering room in the near future.
Silent all night.
......
the next day.
After Zhao Jia finished his lecture.
Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan arrived at the place they had agreed upon with Jiang Peng.
Mingxuanlou is a small but very stylish restaurant.
"Over here."
Jiang Peng waved from a cubicle.
The two walked over, and the food had already been ordered.
"Sit down, let's eat and talk."
The three of them were a little hungry, so they enjoyed the delicious dishes.
Twenty minutes later.
Jiang Peng said, "The Wei family is one of the three major families in Xinchang Prefecture of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"The clan has many members and great strength. They are famous throughout the Great Xia for their pupil techniques. Wei Lan's maternal grandfather is at the eighth level of strength."
"Cousin, why are you saying this?" Wei Lan stopped Jiang Peng from continuing.
Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "Senior, please continue."
Jiang Peng nodded: "Next month, Wei Lan's parents will come to take her back to her family. She will most likely not return to Luojiang Academy after that."
Xiao Weiqing's expression changed.
He then laughed and said, "Wei Lan's parents, won't they give me tens of thousands of points so I won't contact Wei Lan again?"
"No, Uncle wouldn't say that."
"As for my aunt..."
Xiao Weiqing waited for Jiang Peng to continue.
"How should I put it? She's even less likely to be like that; she's the type who's all about looks."
"If Wei Lan is considered a member of the 'looks-matter' club, then your aunt is at least a minister-level member, you know what I mean?"
These words were spoken.
Wei Lan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xiao Weiqing nodded, understanding Jiang Peng's words.
They're just attracted to good looks.
"Does Wei Lan absolutely have to leave?"
Jiang Peng said, "We have no choice but to leave."
"Neither you nor Wei Lan can stop it, nor can they stop it."
Xiao Weiqing put down his chopsticks and fell silent.
The same goes for Wei Lan.
"Xiao Weiqing, do you like Wei Lan?"
"like."
Xiao Weiqing blurted it out.
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan looked up at Xiao Weiqing, a blush creeping onto her fair face.
Xiao Weiqing met Wei Lan's eyes and said firmly again, "I like it."
Wei Lan pursed her lips, her eyes showing emotion.
Jiang Peng nodded, "Not bad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"But reality isn't a movie or TV show. Talking won't do any good. You and I are nothing compared to the Wei family. If you want to be with Wei Lan, you still need to work hard."
"As for Wei Lan, you need to work even harder. Remember what I told you last night: as long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want, and no one can stop you."
"Okay, I understand, cousin."
Xiao Weiqing nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood.
"Okay, you two eat. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Only Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan remained.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
"Are you still going to eat?"
"I'm full, Brother Qing."
"Let's go then."
The two were getting ready to leave.
"Please wait a moment, both of you."
Xiao Weiqing: "What's wrong?"
"You haven't paid your bill yet," the waiter said with a smile.
Xiao Weiqing: "..."
Wei Lan: "..."
"How much?" Wei Lan asked in a low voice.
The waiter said, "It's not expensive, 86 points."
"86?"
Xiao Weiqing was stunned and couldn't believe it; there were only a few dishes, and the portions weren't large.
"Your restaurant is really high-class," Xiao Weiqing said helplessly.
The waiter explained, "You're joking. We aim to be affordable and offer good quality at low prices, but another distinguished guest ordered a Purple Spirit Pigeon, which is worth 40 points."
Xiao Weiqing felt helpless.
"But that doesn't make sense, does it? The rest are all vegetables, worth only 46 points?"
"Of course not, the remaining dishes are worth a total of 6 points."
"That...."
The waiter explained, "The distinguished guest who left earlier packed up a Purple Spirit Pigeon."
"..."
No way.
Xiao Weiqing had no choice but to pay the points.
After the meal.
Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan returned to Ziwei Courtyard.
Neither of them spoke during the journey, creating an awkward yet somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
Until the two returned to the outside of the villa.
Xiao Weiqing said, "Wei Lan..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Wei Lan hugged Xiao Weiqing tightly.
With the beauty in his arms, warm and gentle as jade, Xiao Weiqing hadn't even had a chance to fully savor the moment.
Wei Lan whispered, "I like Brother Qing too."
Then.
He immediately ran back to the villa without looking back.
Xiao Weiqing watched Wei Lan's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips, and returned to the villa.
"I don't want my fortunes to change drastically every thirty years when I'm cultivating."
then.
Samadhi True Fire Refining Spirit Technique, activated.
......
in the afternoon.
Xiao Weiqing came to the body tempering room alone, eager to improve his physical strength.
Arriving at a ten-person body-tempering room, Xiao Weiqing, like the others, found a place to sit cross-legged, letting the baleful energy temper his body.
An hour later.
Feeling that further tempering of his body might make walking difficult, he quickly left the tempering room.
I went outside to rest on a chair.
"Li Fangnan? What a coincidence."
There was an acquaintance outside, none other than Li Fangnan.
Li Fangnan was giving himself a massage when he saw Xiao Weiqing come out and said with a smile, "This is no coincidence."
"I saw you come in earlier and followed you here. I didn't expect you to only come out now."
The teaching methods are the same in all three colleges of Luojiang Academy: classes are held in the morning, and students cultivate on their own in the afternoon.
As a martial arts practitioner, Li Fangnan had visited the Body Tempering Chamber quite often. This time, he encountered Xiao Weiqing and followed him there.
However, to his surprise, Xiao Weiqing lasted even longer in the body tempering room than he did.
This amazed Li Fangnan, who was impressed by Xiao Weiqing's strength.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Li Hu, whom I met in the lower house."
"Li Hu and Xiao Weiqing, you should know each other, right?"
The young man next to him, named Li Hu, was burly and clearly a physical cultivator.
I stood up quickly, a little excited.
Extend both hands.
"Brother Qing, hello, I've heard so much about you."
Xiao Weiqing shook hands and nodded slightly. "Hello."
