"I learned it from you." Keisha smiled gently.
He Xi rolled her eyes and continued reading the book in her hand.
Keisha glanced at the book in He Xi's hand and said softly, "The Book of Changes, an Earth book. It seems you've spent a lot of effort studying Earth classics in order to research that Li Dao."
In just a few words, Keisha pointed out where the book in He Xi's hand came from.
"Yes, I've recently come to the key point in my research. I'm planning to read some books to understand what the ancient Earth scriptures refer to as Qi. That thing is currently the mysterious energy that Li Dao possesses."
"Moreover, based on my observation, this mysterious energy can not only enhance strength, but also form a self-circulating cycle."
"So I'm going to do some research to see if it can be applied to the Divine Body. Maybe we can develop the fifth-generation Divine Body technology."
He Xi answered casually while reading.
“It seems you’ve made progress,” Keisha said, leaning back.
"Yes, I have some ideas, but I haven't tried them yet, so it's still in the conceptual and theoretical stage. I need to do some trials to confirm it," He Xi replied.
Keisha said, "You can send your clone to ask Li Dao. Maybe that will give you some ideas. Since he can cultivate such energy, he should know more about its uses than we do."
"I've already sent my clone over there; it will take some time."
Chapter 80 Back to Normal Life, and the Aftermath! (5k)
On the way back to Juxia City.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked one after the other. The one in front was a little boy, while the one behind was a handsome Taoist priest with a Taoist hairstyle, exuding an otherworldly air.
"Little Wang Chao, when we get to the Taoist temple, I will take you to meet the patriarch, then we will pay respects to your grandmaster, and finally I will take you to meet some of the 'older sisters'."
"Remember to be sweet-talking, act cute and well-behaved, and don't act like a little adult. Maybe your 'older sisters' will give you something nice."
Li Dao walked with his hands behind his back, saying this as he went.
The meaning behind these words is quite clear: to fleece customers.
I've already taken on disciples, and you're eating and living in my place. You can't just not give me a gift when we meet, can you? Laymen, you don't want Keisha to find out that you're eating and living here for free, do you?
Of course, Li Dao wouldn't dare say such things. What kind of island nation talk is that? He'd probably get chased down by the five women with flaming swords.
"I understand, Master." Little Wang Chao nodded, his innocent face no longer showing the sadness from before, his eyes bright and lively, making him look quite adorable.
Before leaving Tianhe City, Li Dao took Xiao Wangchao to a place with good feng shui and buried the female corpse there.
Xiao Wangchao secretly vowed that when he became powerful in the future, he would definitely come back to revive his mother and then storm the lair of those Taotie.
These were the words Li Dao said to Xiao Wangchao.
The trees on both sides are lush and verdant, and occasionally the cheerful chirping of birds and the pleasant chirping of insects can be heard.
They walked for an unknown amount of time, following the road. Occasionally, when Xiao Wangchao got tired, the master and apprentice would stop to rest.
During the rest period, Li Dao would also teach Xiao Wangchao a breathing technique, which was the Starry Breathing Technique that he had just begun to practice.
When Li Dao created the Starry Breathing Technique, it wasn't something he could do casually. Rather, it was a result of his own contemplation of the starry sky and his insights, combined with some relevant knowledge in his mind.
There was an element of chance involved; otherwise, it would have been impossible to create such a breathing method that simulates the starry sky for cultivation.
Now that Li Dao has taken Xiao Wangchao as his disciple, he will naturally pass on this Starry Breathing Technique and also consider making it one of the foundational traditions of the Longyun Taoist Temple.
As for other traditions, the natural breathing method, the dragon-tiger breathing method, the dragon-tiger body-refining exercise, the dragon-tiger Tai Chi, and other breathing and fist techniques are all traditions of the physical body realm.
As for future inheritance and cultivation, it depends on one's own comprehension.
"Thank you, Master." Under Li Dao's guidance, Xiao Wangchao finally managed to simulate the vast starry sky the next day.
Li Dao sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Xiao Wangchao, whose forehead was covered in sweat, his bright eyes sparkling, seemingly lost in thought.
"Huff! Huff!" Less than a moment later, Xiao Wangchao opened his eyes and lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, breathing rapidly.
"How is it?" Li Dao asked.
After a moment of calm, Xiao Wangchao sat up, looked at his master, scratched his head, and replied, "I don't know how to explain it, but I felt that place was terrifying and scary."
The thought of that vast, unmarked starry sky, devoid of any twinkling stars or planetary observations, as black as an undyed sheet of white paper, is oppressive, terrifying, and makes one tremble.
“Tell me about it,” Li Dao said.
So, Xiao Wangchao recounted what he had seen of the starry sky, which made Li Dao ponder for a while.
A starry sky without stars or planets is as blank as black ink, with nothing at all. Can it still be called a starry sky?
"It seems that everyone's simulated starry sky may be different," Li Dao mused to himself.
"Master, is there something wrong with my cultivation?" Xiao Wangchao asked nervously.
Li Dao shook his head: "No, I'm thinking about something, but we're almost at the outskirts of Juxia City, so let's hurry back to the Taoist temple."
After saying that, Li Dao looked at the blazing midday sun, then picked up Xiao Wangchao and walked away with a sonic boom.
A deep footprint was left on the ground.
Soon, Li Dao, carrying Xiao Wangchao, arrived at the foot of Longyun Mountain, and with another step, he instantly appeared in front of the Taoist temple.
"Is this Master's Taoist temple? It feels smaller than my home!"
Although Xiao Wangchao was being carried along, he was protected by Li Daoqi and was not torn apart by the wind. His big, dark eyes looked around at everything.
Boom!
Li Dao gently gave Xiao Wangchao a piece of rock candy before slowly saying, "You don't need to worry about age. It's still a long way off if you want to come back and stay. You have to wait until your 'older sisters' leave."
"Master, what do those 'sisters' look like?" Xiao Wangchao asked with a hint of curiosity.
"After you've finished paying respects to your ancestors and grandmaster, I'll satisfy your curiosity." With that, Li Dao pushed open the door and went inside.
Xiao Wangchao followed behind.
Then the apprenticeship ceremony began. After paying homage to the ancestral master, Li Dao took Xiao Wangchao to a certain place in the back mountain. After paying respects at the ancestral master's grave, the two were finally bound together by their master-disciple bond.
"Didn't you want to meet some of the 'older sisters'? I'll take you there now." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao grabbed Xiao Wang Chao by the back of his collar and disappeared from the Taoist temple.
And after they left, a powerful gust of air automatically closed the door.
In the courtyard of a sea-view villa.
Li Dao appeared silently, put Xiao Wangchao down, and pressed the doorbell of the door next to him twice, followed by a "ding-dong" sound.
Looking at the luxurious decorations of the courtyard, Xiao Wangchao was slightly surprised, as it was the first time he had seen such a magnificent sight. Finally, he looked at his master and asked, "Master, will we be living here from now on?"
Li Dao nodded with a smile.
Da da da!
"Coming." Not long after the doorbell rang, a clear female voice came from inside, followed by the sound of slippers.
"Clap!"
The door opened, revealing the face of the person who opened it.
Xiao Wangchao looked up and his eyes immediately lit up with amazement.
This 'older sister' is so pretty.
With short hair, spirited eyebrows, and a beautiful face, the person who opened the door was Angel Ying. At that moment, she was wearing a nightgown with the straps hanging down, revealing the white undergarments underneath.
Li Dao immediately covered Xiao Wangchao's eyes, and looking at Angel Ying's slovenly appearance, said helplessly, "Could you change your clothes? My disciple is still here."
Hey!
Upon hearing this, Angel Ying glanced at six-year-old Wang Chao, snapped her fingers, and instantly changed into a more fashionable outfit.
White trousers, a white t-shirt, and a loose blue jacket over them—the look is both casual and stylish.
"Is it okay now?" Angel Ying asked.
Li Dao nodded and released his large hand from Xiao Wangchao's eyes.
However, the next second, Angel Ying showed a resentful expression and said, "It took you so long to come back. Anyone who didn't know better would think you went out to fool around and didn't even want your three beautiful wives at home."
Little Wang Chao glanced at the beautiful older sister in front of him, then looked at his master. Although precocious, he scratched his head, his little face showing a confused expression.
Three wives? So the "sister" Master mentioned was Master's wife? No wonder she made me act cute and adorable.
Having figured all this out, Xiao Wangchao obediently said in a way that was sure to surprise everyone, "Hello, Master's wife."
"You have such a sweet tongue, let's go inside." Angel Ying glanced at Li Dao, who had a dark face, smiled, pinched Xiao Wangchao's cheek, and then picked him up and walked back.
Li Dao's expression returned to normal, he shrugged, and went inside.
Angel Canxing sat on the sofa, with Angel Yan beside her, each holding a card in their hand. On the coffee table were stacks of playing cards, and a deck of cards was also lying face down.
Clearly, the three of them were playing cards.
"Oh, you're back?" Angel Yan looked up and saw Li Dao, then her gaze fell on Little Wang Chao, whom Angel Ying was holding, and she teased, "We haven't even had a baby yet, and you've already brought a child back from outside?"
"Hello, ladies." Little Wang Chao greeted them in a cute, childish voice, trying his best to sound obedient.
Three women make a drama; indeed, the ancients never lied, and I, a humble Taoist, truly understand this now.
Li Dao suddenly smiled, and then, under the surprised gazes of the three women, walked directly to Angel Yan and Angel Canxing and sat down between them, his strong arms reaching out to embrace the two women.
Didn't you say you were my wives? Now that I've taken this charade too seriously, how will you respond?
Angel Canxing had been a wife and lived for over 30,000 years, so she naturally understood Li Dao's intentions. Without panicking or dodging, she leaned into his arms.
Seeing Angel Canxing's boldness, Angel Yan forced a smile and moved to the other side.
Li Dao was taken aback, but he still put his arm around her. He couldn't care less about anything else at this point; he had to take the arm, otherwise he would really be in a dilemma.
Since you are willing to take advantage of me, wouldn't it be worse than a beast if I didn't comply?
However, as soon as she put her arms around him, two slender hands pinched Li Dao's soft flesh on both sides and twisted it gently, causing his face to twitch in pain. He glanced at Angel Yan and Angel Canxing.
Then, the two women raised their eyebrows slightly and met each other's gaze with smiles.
Li Dao was helpless.
You were the ones who started the joke. I was just taking advantage of you. You wouldn't dare to pinch my weak spot, would you?
"So all three are indeed my master's wives? I didn't call them the wrong names." Seeing this, Xiao Wangchao felt relieved. He was glad he hadn't called them the wrong names, otherwise he would have had to eat rock candy again.
Angel Ying glanced subtly at Li Dao's soft flesh, a smile playing on her lips. She smiled silently, then picked up Xiao Wangchao and sat down on the sofa next to him.
After cuddling for a while to satisfy his urge, Li Dao quickly pulled away, stood up, sat on the single sofa, and waved to Xiao Wangchao.
