Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Since the day Qin Shishi and Jiang Churou came to this East Lake Villa, Lou Guanxue has been teaching Jiang Churou in the name of her master.

During this period, Jiang Churou and Qin Shishi would travel from Shanghai to Qiantang City whenever they had free time to cultivate in this secluded palace, which was different from the external spiritual environment.

According to Jiang Churou, cultivation is much more interesting than going to school.

She even planned to drop out of school and focus on her spiritual practice.

In the end, it was Qin Zijun who advised her to try to graduate from university.

Cultivation is a long process. Even geniuses like Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi took more than a thousand years to reach the Taiqing Realm.

Moreover, in Qin Zijun's view, the future modern society will probably be a world where modern technology and cultivation are integrated.

In terms of social status, those who can integrate the two systems will definitely have a higher status.

Pure cultivation can certainly bring great power to one's own body, but that requires a high level of attainment, which takes a long time to accumulate.

Qin Zijun even suggested that future disciples of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect should all attend university while cultivating the Dao, lest a group of disciples become illiterate in the future society.

At this moment, Qin Zijun was using a hoe to cultivate the land in the courtyard of the detached palace.

He specially set up a more advanced array in the courtyard, temporarily using it as a medicine garden.

The medicinal herbs planted are all ordinary things, but with the blessing of powerful spiritual energy, although these herbs may not become top-tier rare and precious herbs in the future, they will still be spiritual items, far surpassing ordinary mortals.

Qin Zijun even personally raised chickens, sheep, cows and other livestock in the yard. She didn't teach them to cultivate or let them develop their intelligence, but under the nourishment of spiritual energy, they were spiritual meat, which could greatly enhance the taste of the dishes.

Of course, Qin Zijun didn't want to be a farmer in the cultivation world.

This unprofessional maid is about to take her place; from now on, these tasks can be completely handed over to his little maid.

When the maids get tired of their work, they can also recruit some apprentice laborers and teach them how to grow medicinal herbs and raise livestock.

I imagine there will be countless people competing for this position.

After irrigating the spring water, which was also nourished by spiritual energy, Qin Zijun threw down his hoe. He hadn't even broken a sweat after working for half a day.

Hearing Qin Shishi's excited tone, he smiled and said, "The Moon Goddess is beautiful? Could she possibly be more beautiful than your Sister Jiang and Sister Lou?"

Both Jiang Zhi and Lou Guanxue are rare beauties in the cultivation world.

Perhaps there are women who cultivate Taoism who can rival them in appearance, but in terms of temperament and spiritual attainment, only a very few can compare with them.

"This is different, bro, do you even understand the significance of the Moon Goddess?"

"Chang'e must regret stealing the elixir; her heart aches night after night for the vast blue sea and sky!"

"The fairy Chang'e is the fantasy of countless people in China. The Guanghan Palace, the Jade Rabbit, and the laurel tree on the moon—just thinking about it evokes romance and mythology!"

Qin Shishi was extremely excited. She held her phone in her hand, opened a screenshot she had taken, and waved it in front of Qin Zijun.

"Hey bro, what do you think? Does it look good?"

Qin Zijun's gaze fell on the photo, and she nodded with delight: "It is indeed beautiful."

In that photo, Wang Shu leans against a laurel tree, and the terrace beneath the tree is covered with laurel blossoms.

One of her jade-like legs was bent, while the other dangled down, the silvery-white skirt half-concealing her long, slender, and snow-white legs, making her both innocent and alluring.

The photo in particular was taken at a perfect angle, showing Wang Shu slightly raising her head to look at the sky, her delicate and rounded chin.

That angle, and the sadness and loneliness that the moon goddess unintentionally revealed, truly evoked the romantic imagery of "blue sea and clear sky, night after night, a heart yearning."

"Right? It looks great! Look at the comments below, there are millions of them on every app. These aren't fake replies from celebrities, these are real people!"

Qin Shishi seemed to be enjoying the conversation immensely, as if she had a special fondness for this moon goddess.

That is the ultimate pursuit of beauty by ordinary people.

Although they were all at the same level of beauty as Miss Jiang and her good apprentice, they were equally beautiful.

But if we have to force a ranking of who is more beautiful, Qin Zijun would say to be honest that Wang Shu is indeed a bit more beautiful than Miss Jiang, and half a bit more beautiful than her little apprentice.

It may be beautiful, but that's a trade-off of intelligence!

Indeed, the Great Way is fair.

Seeing that Qin Zijun seemed to be lost in thought, Qin Shishi tugged at his arm. "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Zijun snapped out of her reverie and laughed, "I was thinking that when I first met her, I almost turned her into a spicy rabbit head."

Qin Shishi looked at Qin Zijun suspiciously: "Brother, how come you seem to know everything?"

"There are several verified online content creators who claim to be genuine Taoist practitioners, but they are completely unfamiliar with this Moon Goddess."

Qin Zijun declared proudly, "No one understands cultivation better than me!"

"Then aren't you the 'King of Knowledge' in the cultivation world?"

"Don't tell, hey, don't tell!"

Seeing Qin Zijun's pretentious act, Qin Shishi was both amused and annoyed.

Then, her expression turned tense: "Wait a minute, brother, you seem to know this Moon Goddess very well? She wouldn't possibly…"

Qin Shishi's expression immediately changed.

She suddenly realized that even beautiful and capable women like Sister Jiang and Sister Lou had extraordinary feelings for her older brother.

Could it be that the Moon Goddess is one of them?

No way, really?

Qin Zijun did not tell Qin Shishi about his identity and status in the cultivation world.

The main concern is that I'm afraid of scaring the child and putting too much pressure on her.

Qin Shishi only knew that her older brother was very powerful, but she didn't know just how powerful.

Qin Zijun smiled mysteriously: "Once she comes down from the moon, I'll have her cook for you. I'd call that girl the most talented cook."

"Although I claim to be the best at everything, I really can't compare to her when it comes to cooking, taking care of people, or playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Qin Zijun rarely admitted defeat in some areas.

Even if he has cultivated for countless lifetimes, talent is talent, and there are some things that I simply cannot compare to.

Qin Shishi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's wrong? Your face is all scrunched up."

"I'm wondering, what exactly do all these amazing women see in you?"

Qin Shishi carefully examined Qin Zijun.

Qin Zijun tossed her hair: "Nothing more than his handsome looks!"

"Pah, I think you're just a liar, a total scumbag!"

Qin Shishi lightly spat.

At this time,

She sensed a sudden, intense fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the villa not far away, like a whale drawing in water, with all the spiritual energy rushing towards it.

She knew that her best friend was practicing spiritual cultivation.

My best friend is really addicted to this tedious and boring practice.

"Ugh, why does Chu Rou like cultivating so much? Sitting there is so boring."

"It's not that she particularly enjoys spiritual practice, but rather that she receives rewards from it."

Qin Zijun explained with a smile, "It's like looking at a very difficult math problem. If you don't know how, you just don't know how, and no matter how hard you think about it, you can't solve it."

"But math geniuses can understand how to solve a problem at a glance, and even if it's difficult, they can solve it after thinking about it."

"The satisfaction of successfully solving a problem is something you can't understand."

Qin Shishi pouted: "Aren't you just saying I'm not talented?"

"Good to know. Here, have some water."

Qin Zijun threw a bottle of iced cola over.

Qin Shishi took the drink but didn't drink it: "I'm on a diet recently, so I can't drink anything high in sugar."

She pinched her tummy.

"Then you should work even harder in your cultivation. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll never gain weight again, and the energy you consume will be easily burned off."

Qin Zijun joked, "From now on, when you go out to eat with your best friend, you can only watch her eat like crazy and silently envy her."

"Wow, bro, why didn't you say you could lose weight through spiritual practice?! Coach, I'm really going to practice diligently!"

Qin Shishi was playfully teasing Qin Zijun in a loud and boisterous manner.

After playing for a while, she lay down on a nearby armchair and basked in the afternoon sun while scrolling through her phone.

"The first few episodes of 'The Legend of the Moon Goddess' will premiere tonight, and the number of pre-orders has already reached hundreds of millions."

This series, "The Legend of the Moon Goddess," is not exclusive; it will be broadcast online across the entire internet without charging a single penny.

"By the way, bro, did you know? It's been trending a lot on foreign websites lately."

"Some foreign websites say that the moon goddess on the moon is not the Chinese moon goddess at all, but their Western moon goddess. Some say it is Selene, while others say it is the ancient Greek moon goddess Artemis."

Qin Zijun, who was packing his things, paused and said calmly, "The moon goddess mentioned on the internet is not the moon goddess Wangshu that you saw, but another moon."

There is only one moon, and only one moon goddess, but now two moon goddesses have appeared. One of them will live, and the other will die.

"The way to survive is through cognition, which is also faith. Someone on the internet is exploiting this to collect faith for another moon goddess and cause Wangshu to die."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shishi's face flushed with anger. "How could they do this? Then...then isn't Wang Shu in great danger? Will she die?"

Qin Zijun patted Qin Shishi's head and said with a smile, "Of course not."

"Even if those people try to play tricks, I won't agree to it."

"The outcome of this battle for the moon goddess was decided from the very beginning."

"As long as I am here, the other Moon Goddess will never be able to win."

After all, the moon goddess he was familiar with was Wangshu, not the moon goddess from the ancient times.

According to Qin Zijun's understanding, the gods of the ancient times were completely devoid of humanity; they were more like a group of wild beasts driven by instinct than gods.

His gaze turned westward.

Qin Zijun never expected that the hidden gods were actually ancient gods from a time when even he was unfamiliar with them.

They participated in this battle for the moon goddess in order to increase their own power's leverage.

"Ha, putting everything else aside, these gods are hiding quite well, like rats in a gutter concealing themselves."

"But whether you are gods from the primordial era or the ancient era, you are nothing more than a bunch of ants."

Qin Zijun looked away and ignored her.

Qin Shishi felt her heart pounding. Her brother's contemptuous and indifferent expression was so incredibly cool!

Is it really because he's handsome that he attracts so many goddesses?

……

Amidst much anticipation, "The Legend of the Moon Goddess" finally began airing.
