The several beautiful women were shocked and frightened. When they scrambled up from the ground, they realized that the explosion and the resulting blast wave had originated from Shen Ruoxi herself.
At this moment, the clothes Shen Ruobing was wearing were tattered, leaving her practically unclothed. A slight breeze caused the strips of cloth to flutter, exposing her entire beautiful form to view.
Her disheveled long hair fell across her face, making her look like a madwoman.
Her body was covered in a layer of grime, emitting a foul odor.
"Ruobing, what happened to you?" Lu Yinshuang asked aloud, her face filled with shock.
*Poof!*
Shen Ruobing's beautiful eyes snapped open.
"I broke through!"
She leaped up from the ground, shouting and gesticulating wildly, "I really broke through! Master Cheng, thank you! You finally made me break through!"
*Ding!*
As the final piano notes abruptly ceased.
The thirty-six bay red horses quickly retreated to the opposite bank.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle and Naughty Bag, along with the ten white swans, also returned to the shore.
The Dragon Fish naturally flew back into the lotus pond.
Cheng Xiaofan had already returned to the boat.
When he heard Shen Ruobing's cry and his gaze swept over her on the villa's rooftop, he was so startled that he immediately averted his eyes.
*Wow!*
The commotion caused by this beauty's breakthrough was too great!
From Cheng Xiaofan's fleeting glance, Shen Ruobing immediately realized something.
"Ah!"
Amidst her scream, her clothes disintegrated like ashes, scattering on the ground.
Now, she was completely naked.
Embarrassing!
A massive social death scene!
"Yiling, do you have a place to wash here?" Shen Ruobing asked Bai Yiling, utterly humiliated and seeking help.
Bai Yiling, having experienced a breakthrough similar to Shen Ruobing's, naturally understood her current feelings perfectly. She smiled and said to Shen Ruobing, "Yes, Xiaofan has installed solar water heaters on every floor. I'll take you there right away!"
Fortunately, when these beautiful women came to Zhuxi Village, they had each brought a suitcase filled with spare clothes.
Immediately, Bai Yiling led Shen Ruobing down from the top of the villa.
By this time, it was quite late into the night. Lu Yinshuang and the others felt the chill and could no longer bear it, so they also came down from upstairs.
They looked out from the second-floor window. The small boat was already docked by the shore.
The lights on the boat were still on, but Cheng Xiaofan had not disembarked, seemingly intending to spend the night on the boat.
"Sister Yinshuang, this Cheng Xiaofan is a truly strange person!" Liu Wanqing exclaimed at this moment.
Lu Yinshuang pondered for a moment and said, "I find Cheng Xiaofan to be quite mysterious. It's truly impossible to see through what kind of person he is!"
"Perhaps it's precisely this mysterious aura that attracted Bai Yiling!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yunying nodded and said, "You're right. Men like him, with such mystery, indeed possess a powerful charm for any woman!"
"Apart from Cheng Xiaofan, the person who interests me most here today is Shen Ruobing. This is the first time I've heard that she's a craftsman cultivator!"
Lu Yinshuang asked, "Yunying, do you know what a craftsman cultivator is?"
Mo Yunying gave a wry smile and said, "I just remembered. I think I heard someone mention it a long time ago. The so-called craftsman cultivator, or Jianxiu, refers to practitioners who come from the ranks of artisans, hence the abbreviation Jianxiu."
"These practitioners push the spirit of craftsmanship to an extreme, hoping that through cultivation, they can one day communicate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and infuse this spiritual energy into their creations, giving them vibrant life force."
Hearing her explanation, Lu Yinshuang seemed to suddenly understand and said, with a touch of self-satisfaction, "So, Cheng Xiaofan must be a craftsman cultivator, and he has reached the pinnacle on this path!"
"Sister Yinshuang is right!"
Liu Wanqing nodded. "In my opinion, not only has Cheng Xiaofan, this craftsman cultivator, reached the peak, but he's also a jack-of-all-trades."
"Look, he can not only build bamboo villas, but he can also control insects and various magical creatures in nature with the music he plays."
"Besides brewing an exceptional wine that can cure cancer, he can also create delicious and unforgettable dishes... I really don't know how many other skills he has yet to reveal!"
Lu Yinshuang sighed, "No wonder Bai Yiling is so infatuated with Cheng Xiaofan. It seems our plan this time has completely failed!"
Mo Yunying smiled and said, "Although our plan failed this time, haven't we all gained something elsewhere?"
"My chronic lumbar disc herniation, which has never been cured, seems to have miraculously improved after coming to Bai Mang Lake!"
Mo Yunying's words suddenly reminded Lu Yinshuang. She nodded excitedly and said, "You're absolutely right. Every time I get my period, I'm in excruciating pain. This time, I experienced the same unbearable pain, but after drinking the Golden Tea and Happy Wine, that indescribable pain miraculously disappeared!"
Liu Wanqing said, "My health has always been good, so I don't have your kind of experience!"
"However, since coming to Bai Mang Lake, the only thing I've noticed is that I feel more energetic, and my physique seems to have undergone some mysterious changes."
As these three beautiful women spoke excitedly, they occasionally clapped their hands.
Only Ling Qingcheng and Gu Shishi, after hearing Mo Yunying's explanation of Jianxiu, sat at the table with their chins resting in their hands, deep in thought.
They wondered if their calligraphy and painting, which had remained stagnant at their original level, were stuck in a bottleneck, as mentioned in the context of Jianxiu.
To infuse their calligraphy and paintings with life force, did they also need to practice Jianxiu?
As for how to cultivate, they were completely clueless.
Should they stay behind and seek guidance from Cheng Xiaofan?
Shen Ruobing's unintentional breakthrough today had caused immense stimulation for these two beauties who were obsessed with calligraphy and painting!
...
On the boat.
The lights went out!
During the performance just now, too much dragon power had been consumed from Cheng Xiaofan's body.
Before resting, he had taken eight energy pills and drunk a bottle of premium Happy Wine to barely recover some of his vitality.
Thinking of Shen Ruobing's sudden breakthrough, Cheng Xiaofan almost let out a pig-like squeal of accomplishment.
In fact, when he performed these programs, he was thinking more of Shen Ruobing.
This was his second encounter with Jianxiu. The first person he met was Tu Biao, the developer of "Thousand Day Drunk."
However, Tu Biao had a dual identity: he was a ancient martial arts cultivator and also a Jianxiu.
Furthermore, he had already achieved a certain level of success in Jianxiu, otherwise, he would not have been able to bring his ancestor's "Thousand Day Drunk" back to life.
Today, the moment Cheng Xiaofan discovered Shen Ruobing was a Jianxiu, he developed a strong interest in this beautiful woman.
