After discussing the matter of the Peiyuan Pill, the father and son chatted about many other things.
What their plans for the future were, what their views on relationships were.
In short, they covered topics that they hadn't discussed together in the past twenty years.
As for cooking…
With Fang Rou and Zheng Wanqing, two traditional Dragon Country women, around, the two men certainly didn't have to lift a finger.
Of course, others didn't have this privilege.
The Dragon Country had developed for a long time, emphasizing gender equality.
When the father and son, one the Dragon Head and the other a master, didn't work, no one dared to say anything.
But if others wanted to eat dumplings, they had to make them themselves to be well-fed and clothed.
No matter if you were a God-level Supreme or the Dragon Head's own father, if you wanted dumplings, you had to make them yourself.
Fortunately, none of these people were pampered. Even Qin Shoujiang, the former eldest son of the Qin family, had lived through hard times.
Thus, a table of dumplings was quickly prepared.
Everyone enjoyed dumplings and wine, spending a very comfortable day amidst the tense situation.
As they parted, Fang Rou naturally felt reluctant to see Qin Xuan go.
After all, her son had finally come to her side, and before they could truly reconnect, they had to separate again.
However, she also knew what Qin Xuan was about to do.
Cultivating to save someone was a matter of life and death for her son and Ling'er.
No matter how reluctant she was to part with her child at this moment, she understood what was more important.
After a gentle embrace, Fang Rou watched her son's departing back with tear-filled eyes.
Qin Xuan, led by his three masters, then proceeded to the warehouse designated for storing cultivation resources.
"This place gathers most of the cultivation resources in the country: cultivation methods, weapons, herbs, and pills."
"There are even many things we've never heard of or seen before."
"All these resources are available to you. As long as they can help you improve your cultivation, feel free to use them without hesitation."
"However, Xuan'er, there's one thing I must remind you of."
"In the path of cultivation, never be impatient."
"Even if your progress is slow, do not rush for success."
"Now, your other two masters and I are all Golden Core stage powerhouses. We can assist you when you go to the Lie family."
"If it's not possible then, even without a valid reason, we will intervene."
"I understand, First Master!"
Hearing his First Master's admonition, Qin Xuan was deeply touched.
He knew that his going to save Ling'er was a personal grievance.
But if his masters were to get involved, the nature of the situation would completely change.
They were the Supremes of the Dragon Country, representing the country's stance.
Once they participated in any matter, it would be equivalent to the Dragon Country announcing its future course of action.
At that time, if they were to truly help him save Ling'er, the other hidden families in the Dragon Country would inevitably become vigilant, triggering a series of chain reactions.
If they were to unite against the authorities, it would instead lead to chaos in the Dragon Country's previously stable situation.
Therefore, no matter what, Qin Xuan had to save Ling'er by himself and not let anyone else act!
However, Qin Xuan was quite confident about saving Ling'er.
After sparring with his masters yesterday, Qin Xuan had gained a certain understanding of his own strength.
After the baptism of the Yunhun Pill and the Peiyuan Pill, his strength was now comparable to cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core on Blue Star.
Furthermore, due to his special physique, his physical body was even stronger than his cultivation.
This was why Qin Xuan could fight against three mid-stage Golden Core cultivators alone without being defeated.
Of course, this did not mean Qin Xuan was invincible.
His shortcomings were also obvious, namely the insufficient spiritual energy in his body.
Although the Chaos Qi and the Zhenwu Dao Scripture automatically generated spiritual energy, compared to the consumption during combat, that bit of spiritual energy was quite meager.
Even though he could still forcibly activate other skills using his body's vital energy, it was ultimately inferior to the power of spiritual energy.
Therefore, Qin Xuan's future cultivation direction would still be to continue improving his level.
After all, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Condensation. According to the cultivation level classification on Blue Star, he was at most a late-stage demigod.
As long as he could improve his strength to the Foundation Establishment stage, which was comparable to a god, his combat power would basically be enough to completely crush the Lu and Lie families.
After seeing off his three masters and grandfather, Qin Xuan slowly paced alone in the warehouse.
It could only be said that the national treasury was truly the national treasury, containing the essence of the country's cultivation resources.
Even though Qin Xuan possessed the ability to "hear the inner voices" of all things, he was still dazzled by the myriad of treasures before him.
Thousand-Year Ginseng: Ginseng is good, but you can't eat too much! Eating too much will lead to excessive replenishment, and you'll get a nosebleed.
Snow Lingzhi: It's called Snow Lingzhi, not Blood Lingzhi. It's a proper Lingzhi, just a bit red!
Vajra Sutra Mind Method: Amitabha…
Mandarin Duck Swordplay: What a pity, you're alone.
"..."
Looking at the abundant resources before him, Qin Xuan was momentarily unsure where to start.
It wasn't until he heard the inner voice of a mind method that calmed him down that he suddenly realized he had indeed lost his previous composure.
Inhale… Exhale!
After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Xuan walked directly towards the direction of the mind method he had just seen.
The other party's reminder made him realize that he should indeed calm his mind before cultivating and improving.
Otherwise, if he improved too quickly and his state of mind couldn't keep up, it was hard to guarantee that unexpected accidents wouldn't occur.
Having determined his direction, Qin Xuan's first choice was to read extensively.
He would read more about the mind methods stored in the national treasury, and also read cultivation methods for absorbing elemental energy from heaven and earth that could no longer be cultivated.
The purpose, of course, was not to choose what to cultivate, but for reference and verification.
He wanted to see which of his ideas since starting cultivation were correct and which were wrong.
Which were generally considered mistakes, and which were generally accepted methods.
As the saying goes, a master leads the way, but cultivation is up to the individual.
Ke Wudi, Hu Sanqiang, and Zheng Wanqing, as well as Chen Xuan, could only help Qin Xuan embark on the path of cultivation and reduce the cost of exploration, but they couldn't fully grasp all his thoughts.
To truly integrate cultivation, it was inevitably necessary for him to think and try it himself.
Originally, with his rapid advancement and simple cultivation, he had neither the time nor the inclination to pay attention to these matters.
Now, after calming down, he had actually figured out the key points.
The saying "cultivate the mind first" precisely described this.
Therefore, with no one disturbing him, Qin Xuan unhesitatingly picked up various books and began to read.
He didn't let go of any cultivation methods, fist techniques, routines, or scriptures that were available in the warehouse.
Gradually, he began to comprehend.
How to deal the highest damage with the least consumption.
How to achieve the highest results with the least cost.
And so on, and so forth.
It was only after he had finished reading all the books in the national treasury that his First Master, Ke Wudi, suddenly entered from outside, bringing him a cultivation method that looked quite old.
