Living between the two realms, I seek enlightenment in the mortal world.

That night.

Chen Feng made a bold decision: starting tomorrow, he would cook less, or even not cook at all, and eat and buy food on the street.

Money is no object.

"Brother, do you think my cooking is bad?" Jiang Xiaoguo was on the verge of tears.

"How could that be!" Chen Feng quickly reassured him, "We just wanted to save time cooking so we could focus on our cultivation. As you guessed, Uncle Lu's arrival tonight means he'll be going after Chief Huang in a few days."

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoguo agreed wholeheartedly. "He hid it very well, but I could tell that his injuries were serious. When he coughed, there was a strong smell of blood."

"In the next battle, he will definitely go with the determination to die, which also means that he will definitely die," Chen Feng said solemnly. "That's why he offered so many benefits, and didn't even hold back a single drop of water. This is to tell us that he is sincere to us, and hopes that we, no, you, can take good care of Wenwen after you grow up."

"Wenwen!" Jiang Xiaoguo pouted. "That little girl is spoiled rotten."

Lu Wen, ten years old.

As the youngest daughter of Gang Leader Lu, she is spoiled beyond belief by everyone in the gang.

"Take care of those who deserve it, but if they're hopeless, then forget about it." Chen Feng had no intention of being a loyal follower.

Jiang Xiaoguo nodded.

Neither of them felt sleepy, and they watched the exercise together.

Especially the mental techniques; I read and analyzed them simultaneously.

The next day, afternoon.

In the bedroom.

"Brother, let me switch to cultivation first," Jiang Xiaoguo pleaded again. "My cultivation is strong, and if anything unexpected happens, I can easily suppress it."

"I'll do it," Chen Feng said without hesitation. "My cultivation is weak, but my physique is strong and my spirit is powerful, so I can easily control the technique. Even if my true energy surges against my meridians, I can suppress and restrain it forcefully. Xiao Guo, don't worry, protect me."

The two had carefully analyzed the mental cultivation method, understood its mysteries, and found no omissions, so they prepared to switch to its cultivation.

After all, this technique is far superior to what they practice.

Chen Feng naturally wanted to test it out first.

He is mentally strong and unafraid of the unexpected.

"Brother, be careful. If you notice anything wrong, stop immediately," Jiang Xiaoguo instructed.

Chen Feng nodded, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down.

The mental techniques of the Spring Breeze and Rain Exercise flowed through my mind once again.

Soon, he tried to switch to another major.

Perhaps it was because the Gentle Water Skill and the Spring Breeze and Rain Skill had similarities, Chen Feng easily succeeded in switching to this skill.

The true energy is also more refined and condensed.

The dense, continuous rain brings with it the vibrant life of spring, as well as the sharp edge of spring rain.

After switching to cultivation, Chen Feng also opened up a unique meridian, officially entering the late stage of the Acquired Realm.

"Success." He opened his eyes, his face beaming. "The Spring Rain Technique is complete, with no hidden tricks. You can practice it with peace of mind."

He then explained some of the more subtle aspects.

After further contemplation, Jiang Xiaoguo also began to switch to this cultivation method, and soon succeeded.

"Brother, I have a feeling that the barrier to my cultivation has disappeared, as if I can break through it at any moment," she said excitedly after stopping.

"Really?" Chen Feng was greatly shocked.

"Really!" Jiang Xiaoguo nodded vigorously.

"Don't rush into a breakthrough. First, get used to the characteristics of the Spring Rain Technique, and let it settle down. Make sure you're absolutely certain before you break through," Chen Feng earnestly instructed. "You're still young, you have plenty of time, don't rush into a breakthrough. After all, we don't have any seniors to protect us, we need to figure it out on our own. If something unexpected happens during the breakthrough, it will be too late to regret it."

"Brother, I'll listen to you." Jiang Xiaoguo nodded again.

The two of them spent the entire afternoon cultivating.

Chen Feng also occasionally practices military boxing to continue honing his physique, reflecting on his own abilities, and preparing for a physical breakthrough.

He also took some time to practice the Thirty-Six Swords of Spring Breeze and Gentle Rain.

Jiang Xiaoguo spends most of her time honing her inner energy.

He also practiced his swordsmanship from time to time.

However, after a few tries, she became very proficient with the Spring Breeze and Drizzle Sword, clearly having achieved a minor level of mastery, which made Chen Feng's eyelids twitch wildly.

I didn't cook dinner.

The two went to a small restaurant next to the alley entrance and ate two bowls of noodles, and then went to a braised food shop to buy some braised meat.

In spiritual practice, one needs to be nourished by food.

Night slowly fell.

Just as the two were preparing to cultivate, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

"Who is it?" Jiang Xiaoguo walked over and asked before opening the door.

"Your Aunt Sun." A familiar voice came from outside.

"Aunt Sun, what brings you here? Please come in." Jiang Xiaoguo opened the door and let the person outside in.

Chen Feng stepped forward to greet him.

The woman before me carried a long sword on her back, her hair was piled high, and she was dressed neatly. She looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and she exuded a heroic aura.

In particular, a scar between her left eyebrows made her look even more fierce.

This is Sun Yuemei, one of the leaders of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

I've taken good care of the two of them before.

"Xiaofeng, how are you feeling? I've been so busy with things at the gang lately that I haven't been able to come over," Sun Yuemei asked with concern as she sat down in the main room. "You look fine."

"Aunt Sun, I'm all better now." A fleeting look of sadness crossed Chen Feng's face. "My father passed away, and I was so devastated that I fell seriously ill and almost didn't wake up. I've been through a life-or-death experience, and I've come to terms with everything. Once I've come to terms with it, my health has actually improved. Perhaps this is my father's blessing from heaven."

"That's good, that's good. Your father would be so happy if he knew." Sun Yuemei said, and when she saw Jiang Xiaoguo bringing over tea, she took her hand and said, "Who would have thought that our Xiaoguo is actually a peerless genius, quietly cultivating to the point of perfect mastery of the acquired realm? When I heard the gang leader say it, I couldn't believe my ears. If he hadn't repeatedly assured me, I definitely wouldn't have believed it."

"Aunt Sun, I'm just doing some simple repairs," Jiang Xiaoguo blinked her innocent eyes.

"You really did just do a quick fix," Sun Yuemei wholeheartedly agreed.

After all, she had to do laundry, cook, and take care of a sick person.

There certainly won't be much time for cultivation.

"That's even more impressive!" Sun Yuemei exclaimed again, her expression turning serious. "The gang leader told me everything. Tonight, he's going to lead some troublemakers into the Wolf Gang, determined to take Gang Leader Huang down with him even if it means his own death."

Her face fell. "Starting tomorrow, the Fierce Tiger Gang will depend on us. Once the news of the gang leader's death gets out, the wolves and tigers lurking around will definitely not let such a good opportunity pass. They will attack us, either swallowing us up or destroying us. But we can't accept our fate. We still have Wenwen, Cuihua, Wang Hu, and a bunch of brothers and sisters in the gang. If we can't hold them off, we will all die a terrible death. These past two days, I even dreamed that the Fierce Tiger Gang was gone, that Wenwen was captured and sold to the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and that she hanged herself after enduring unbearable humiliation. I woke up in a fright then, cried for a long time, and felt incredibly panicked."

Sun Yuemei paused for a moment, wiped away her tears, and said with a hint of pleading, "Xiaofeng, Xiaoguo, Aunt Sun begs you to go to the camp tomorrow. Whether you become hall masters or cultivate in silence, Aunt Sun will agree to whatever you want to do. I just want, I just want us all to be well."
