Zhou Ning and Zhou Hong were also very curious. They turned to look at Zhuang Yan, waiting for his answer.
Seeing that everyone was starting to believe him, Zhuang Yan smiled and explained,
" Cultivation is divided into many realms. For example, I'm currently in the Meridian Forging realm, which is the first realm of cultivation. It's the kind that has just begun. Before the Meridian Forging realm, there's still a stage that can't be called a realm. In the cultivation world, it's called tempering the body. Simply put, it's through cultivating some techniques to strengthen the body and temper one's blood and qi to meet the conditions for cultivation. You can understand this realm as the foundation for building a house.”
After a pause, Zhuang Yan continued," Most of the martial artists that you know are at this stage. The powerful ones are able to do this. Their Qi and blood surge and seep out of their bodies."
As he spoke, Zhuang Yan circulated his blood and Qi. A blood-colored light shadow that was visible to the naked eye enveloped his body, with a hint of green.
Zhou Yao and the other two sitting around him felt as if their hearts were being squeezed when Zhuang Yan's blood was boiling. They suddenly stopped for a moment. This was the instinctive reaction of a weak creature when it encountered a powerful creature.
Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Zhuang Yanlian calmed down and said apologetically,"I'm sorry. I didn't consider that you're people who haven't cultivated yet. You can't withstand the impact of such powerful blood essence.”
"It's okay, Brother Zhuang Yan, don't mind it. Continue, Xiaoning wants to hear it.”Zhou Ning's eyes were filled with stars as she looked at him with admiration.
Seeing that they had recovered, Zhuang Yan continued," People who can release their Blood Qi like I did just now should be considered martial arts masters in the martial arts world. They should be at the level of being able to fight against a thousand people. They should be qualified to cultivate as long as they have a more advanced technique.
As for the next step, it's the Meridian Forging Realm that I'm in. My meridians have begun to open up and expand. They can withstand and accommodate true qi, and they have a certain extraordinary ability."
Zhuang Yan's words seemed to have opened the door to a new world for the three of them. When they left, Zhou Hong was still in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
As for Zhou Yao, she went to clean up the dishes and did not see anything unusual. Zhou Ning pestered him hard, asking him to talk about some cultivation matters.
Although Zhuang Yan was a rookie among cultivators, he still had some knowledge after four years of studying in the Zhuang family's ancestral land. He picked some interesting things to tell Zhou Ning. It lasted until late at night, and the little girl reluctantly went back to sleep.
。。。
"Phew ~" Zhuang Yan heaved a long sigh of relief as he returned to his bed. He sighed at how difficult this meal was.
Fortunately, at least the Zhou sisters had let down their guard against him. With a good start, there shouldn't be any more awkwardness during the period of recuperation.
Shaking his head, Zhuang Yan threw away these thoughts and sat cross-legged on the bed, continuing to cultivate.
His meager True Qi guided the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, slowly replenishing the depletion of his body…
The next morning, before dawn, Zhuang Yan, who was meditating, noticed that Zhou Yao had already woken up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
He looked at the sky outside the house and realized that it was almost time. When he was in the Xiantian Sect, this was the time when he headed to the Heaven Extreme Peak to start his daily cultivation.
He wondered if there were any higher mountains nearby.
He thought silently. After all, between heaven and earth, clear qi rose and turbid qi sank. The Primitive Spirit Qi required by the Primitive Scripture was a kind of clear Qi. The higher the position, the purer the Primitive Spirit Qi could be absorbed.
Zhuang Yan got out of bed and stretched his body. After a night of meditation, he felt better than yesterday. At least he was no different from an ordinary person. He could move freely now and did not need someone to help him walk two steps like last night.
When he walked out of the house, Zhou Yao, who was eating at the dining table, was stunned for a moment. Then, she greeted him,"Young Master Zhuang, you're up so early. Let's have dinner together!”
As she spoke, she planned to come over and help Zhuang Yan up. In her impression, Zhuang Yan was still as weak as last night.
However, the situation was beyond her expectations. Zhuang Yan greeted her cheerfully,"Good morning, Miss Zhou. Are you preparing to go fishing and hunting?”As he spoke, he walked quickly to the dining table and sat down with her.
Zhou Yao was a little surprised, but when she thought of Zhuang Yan's identity, she didn't think much of it. She raised her hands and pretended to brush off the dust on her body before sitting down again.
"Miss Zhou, are there any tall mountains nearby?”Zhuang Yan did not come out so early for breakfast. He mainly wanted to find out more about the situation.
Zhou Yao didn't know what Zhuang Yan meant, but she didn't think too much about it. She thought for a while and said,""The Zhou Clan lives near the water and is located in a river valley. In my impression, there are no mountains.”
"Oh, is that so?" Zhuang Yan was a little disappointed. If he couldn't cultivate at a higher level, the effect of breathing in the Primordial Spiritual Qi would be a little worse. However, he didn't show his disappointment too obviously and continued,
"En, then Miss Zhou, can you bring this Zhuang along with you when you leave the boat today? I want to take a look around the Lushui River and see if there are any suitable places? If Miss Zhou needs any help during this period, you can directly ask. Although I am recuperating, I can't just eat and drink freely in your residence.”
"This?" Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly.
"Uh, if Miss Zhou has any inconvenience, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I'll go out and take a walk by myself in a while.”Seeing Zhou Yao's hesitation, Zhuang Yan immediately changed the topic and did not insist.
Zhou Yao quickly waved her hand and said," No, I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that you've just recovered from your injuries. If you follow me out of the ship, I'm afraid that your injuries will act up again."”
Hearing this, Zhuang Yan's heart warmed. She was really a kind-hearted and understanding girl.
However, he quickly threw some strange thoughts out of his head and said,"Miss Zhou is very thoughtful. You recovered quite well last night and are no different from an ordinary person.”
Zhou Yao hesitated for a long time before she reluctantly agreed. However, she still emphasized that Zhuang Yan was not to do anything when they were on the boat. He had to listen to her every word.
Zhuang Yan naturally agreed and was allowed to travel with them.
。。。
Due to Zhuang Yan's help, Zhou Yao left the boat a little early today. She quickly packed her things and left the river bank.
Zhou Hong, who had come to help as usual, had an ugly expression on his face when he saw this scene. He even looked at Zhuang Yan with hostility. Zhuang Yan was puzzled. He had felt that Zhou Hong's attitude was a little strange since last night.
However, Zhuang Yan did not care about this because he had expected that the Zhou family would only be a short period of time in his life. Perhaps a few years later, he would only remember that he was saved by a fisherman girl named Zhou Yao, who was the same age as him.
As for the people around Zhou Yao and what kind of circle she had, he might have already forgotten all about it. Therefore, he did not care about what others thought of him other than the Zhou sisters.
As the boat sailed upstream, Zhuang Yan realized that there were probably no tall mountains nearby. In the river, he could only see flat grasslands and plains. There was no shadow of a mountain.
He had no choice but to give up on the idea of finding a place to cultivate in the surroundings.
Since Zhou Yao did not allow him to move around on the boat, after Zhou Yao lowered the fishing net, he quietly sat cross-legged on the boat and entered cultivation.
It was the same time as the time at the Extreme Terminus Peak. The Moon and Morning Stars had already dimmed, and the sun had yet to rise.
Zhuang Yan entered a state of chaos as usual. Then, he felt a gurgling stream of Primordial Spirit Qi entering his body, replenishing the exhausted Genuine Qi in his meridians.
Zhou Yao, who was at the bow of the boat, suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing towards the stern. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over the top of the boat to see Zhuang Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
It was different from the strange light band he saw last night. At this time, a blurry green light enveloped Zhuang Yan, making him look mysterious.
The fishing net was already in the water, so all she had to do now was wait quietly. Zhou Yao sat at the bow of the boat and rested her elbows on her knees to support her head as she watched Zhuang Yan cultivate.
