“He’s practiced it!” Gu Yuanchao nodded hurriedly. “I’ve been urging him to practice the basic technique ‘Thick Earth Foundation’ since he was little. Although he can’t retain his soul power, it has made his lower body more stable, his sense of balance and load-bearing capacity have improved a lot, and he’s also more compatible with earth attributes. I’m just hoping that… he can have some self-defense capabilities.”

Chen Mu nodded to himself: No wonder Zijian has a big frame and a broad back. Uncle Gu is determined to leave him a way out, and is also hoping... that he might be able to awaken his soul power a second time?

In fact, those who practice this mental technique generally develop a resilient, calm, and patient personality, which is a perfect match for a chef.

“Very good.” Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly. “Teach him the ‘Starry Sky Formless Scripture’ as well. Although he also cannot retain soul power, it will be of good benefit to your Gu family’s ‘Mountain Steel Bone Technique’.”

He wasn't lying.

This "Starry Sky Without Form" is derived from the "Nine Yin Manual" Big Dipper Method. Its essence is a gentle Yin exercise that nourishes life, strengthens the foundation, and concentrates the spirit. Its attributes are neutral and peaceful.

It has an excellent harmonizing effect not only on the Gu family, but also on the four families of Hou Tu, and even on the mental cultivation methods of many families in Chenlin Village.

Gu Yuanchao was stunned. What was the young master doing...? Combining Chen Xiaojun's confident expression with Chen Mu's previous hints, an unbelievable thought suddenly crashed into his mind.

His body trembled almost imperceptibly, and his throat went dry: "Young Master, could it be that my Zijian can...?"

Chen Xiaojun habitually picked up his teacup, took a sip, and put it down, his tone calm and even: "Hmm, there's some progress, but I can't guarantee anything yet."

Gu Yuanchao's eyes widened instantly: "Really...really?!"

Xin Shouyi and Mai Zheling, who were standing nearby, were also so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

A second awakening!
Although the young master said he "had some clues," given his personality, the fact that he was willing to talk about it meant that he was definitely not unsure of himself!
Chen Mu had a "I knew it" look on his face and pouted: "See, Sixth Brother, I told you, your secretive ways are so boring."

Chen Xiaojun ignored him and added to Gu Yuanchao, "It's not certain yet. It will take another year or two to be sure. If it works out, great. If not, he will still follow the path of a battle chef."

Gu Yuanchao was so excited that he bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, young master! Thank you so much for your great kindness!"

His voice was choked with emotion.

Chen Xiaojun waved his hand: "Don't tell Zijian about this yet."

Gu Yuanchao nodded vigorously: "Understood! Understood!"

He understood that if hope was given but ultimately dashed, the blow would be even more devastating for his son.

For a moment, everything fell silent.

Gu Yuanchao calmed down, feeling relieved and relaxed. He immediately thought of the important matter: "Young Master, Fifth Young Master, if there's nothing else, I'll go arrange the children's food and lodging registration first."

He pointed to the children who were still queuing to register, full of enthusiasm.

“Go ahead.” Chen Xiaojun nodded.

Gu Yuanchao turned around with light steps, his voice even louder than before: "An Mingyuan! Ask that guy whose place of origin is unclear again, try to find out which prefecture he belongs to! Ma Liang, give me a form, I want to take a look..."

Watching Gu Yuanchao's revitalized figure, Xin Shouyi smiled and squinted his eyes.

On the other side, Mai Zheling was still savoring the moment, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master, this move was truly grand..."

Chen Mu's mischievous smile deepened as he stroked his chin and said, "Uncle Xin, look at Uncle Gu's energy, doesn't it seem like he just got a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone?"

He stroked his chin and said, "I think Uncle Gu's heart has been untied this time, his mind is clear, and his spirit is different. This is a good thing. With his spiritual power active, it may help him break through the threshold of Soul Saint."

Xin Shouyi nodded, with a hint of seriousness: "Your energy and spirit have returned. I think you've hit the nail on the head, Fifth Young Master. This will likely be of great benefit."

Magering him, he stroked his short beard, his eyes gleaming: "Yes, yes, yes! Old Xin is absolutely right! The Gu family's 'Mountain Steel Bone Technique' emphasizes a solid foundation and tempering of muscles and bones. It's excellent in defense and strength, but what about the tempering of mental power..."

He shook his head slightly. "Really just average. The spiritual power of the Gu family's soul masters is generally not very strong. Old Gu's talent is considered outstanding in his family, but he can't withstand the fact that after practicing that technique for so long, his 'stubbornness' has become harder and harder, and the bottleneck of the 'Upper Soul Nest' is difficult to break through! Why?"

He looked at Chen Xiaojun and Chen Mu, "That stubborn, unyielding streak in your heart!"

Xin Shouyi chimed in, "That's right! Old Gu is only forty-six this year, right? Hey, he's more than ten years younger than me and Old Mai! At this age, with this cultivation level, once he crosses the threshold of Soul Saint, his future will be limitless!"

"As long as we proceed steadily and don't give up halfway, reaching the Contra Douluo level in our lifetime shouldn't be a problem. Today, the young master's move has finally removed the stone that has been weighing on his heart for eight years!"

Mai Zheling's gaze fell on Gu Yuanchao's back in the distance: "That's exactly right. Whether it's the Gu family's martial spirit, techniques, or innate temperament, they can't escape the word 'tenacity'. But if tenacity goes too far, it can sometimes become 'stubbornness'. Now that's good, old Gu, you don't have to get stuck on that dead end anymore. His former sharpness should return."

Chen Xiaojun listened to the three people's analysis, one after another, but his expression remained calm.

He picked up the warm teacup beside him, brought it to his lips, and leisurely took a sip.

The refreshing aroma of tea spread across his tongue. This was a habit he had developed over the years; he almost never put down his tea, which carried a trace of the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea he had socialized while doing business in his previous life.

What they said makes sense.

If Gu Yuanchao's eldest son hadn't died, he would be about twenty years old this year. Therefore, Gu Yuanchao got married very early, at the age of twenty-five.

Come to think of it, he got married right after graduating from the Soul Master Academy, and he's not like the main branch of the Chen family who needs to master the art of concealing qi.

Eight years ago, Gu Yuanchao joined the team to fight against the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Clan at Liuguangpo.

As mentioned earlier, besides Soul Douluo such as Chen Xun and Chen Hanxin, there were also five or six Soul Masters absorbing Soul Rings, and Gu Yuanchao was one of them.

At that time, he chose a top-tier spirit ring, absorbed the spirit ring beyond his level, and with the addition of a silver wolf spirit bone allocated by his family, he broke through to level 63 in one fell swoop.

Over the years, with the eldest son dying young and the second son, Gu Zijian, lacking soul power, resources have been largely concentrated on Gu Yuanchao and his wife. In addition, as he is the hope of the Gu family, a considerable amount of family resources have also been allocated to him.

Therefore, his soul power has been increasing year by year, and he has now reached the peak of level 69 for more than a year.

The second threshold for becoming a Soul Master (Soul Saint) requires a surge of spiritual power to break through the bottleneck of the "Upper Soul Nest".

This hurdle can only be overcome by the Soul Master slowly accumulating spiritual power and gradually breaking through the bottleneck, unless they have access to high-level spiritual medicines or other resources.

However, the Chen family has channels to provide spiritual medicines for mental energy, so Gu Yuanchao doesn't need to worry about the resources needed to break through the barrier.

But when it comes to a breakthrough, no matter how strong the medicine is, he still needs to be in a clear state of mind and have his soul open to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

Today, Gu Zijian's second awakening of soul power is expected, and his stubbornness has been largely dispelled. Gu Yuanchao will then be able to approach the bottleneck of the "Upper Soul Nest" with a better and more transparent mindset.
