Chapter 1217 - 1218: Not That Easy
Song Xiaodong couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You'll know when the time comes, there's no use knowing now."
"Hmph, still being mysterious with me, I despise you." He Lingzhi gave Song Xiaodong a sidelong glance, but she was indeed quite curious about this matter.
The two of them went to He Lingzhi's room, and Song Xiaodong explained his insights to her.
After listening, He Lingzhi also felt that Song Xiaodong's method was indeed quite ingenious, but like Xu Hao and the others, her True Qi had long become habituated to running in a certain way, and changing it wouldn't be so simple.
Knowing it might be possible to practice this without True Qi, He Lingzhi insisted on sparring with Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong had no choice but to fight a round with her. At this moment, He Lingzhi truly witnessed the peculiar nature of Song Xiaodong's True Qi, and was more intrigued. She recklessly used up her True Qi, wanting to exhaust it quickly.
After half an hour, He Lingzhi used techniques that consumed True Qi extremely fast, finally exhausting it all, and was so tired she could barely stand.
Song Xiaodong had to carry her back to the room, letting her experience it herself, while he returned to the main villa.
Everyone wasn't very concerned about what kind of Kung Fu Song Xiaodong practiced, knowing only that he became stronger was enough.
Then in the evening, they had a good meal, drank a little, and returned to the main villa, naturally enjoying their unique affection.
The next morning, Song Xiaodong went to see He Lingzhi.
He Lingzhi was still sitting on the bed, apparently not having slept at all.
"So, how is it?" Song Xiaodong sat by He Lingzhi's side.
He Lingzhi furrowed her brow, saying, "It seems like it's not working."
"Let me take a look." Song Xiaodong reached out and held He Lingzhi's hand, and let his True Qi flow through her meridians to check.
He Lingzhi's True Qi instinctively repelled foreign True Qi, a natural reaction, as it could easily damage her meridians, so it naturally resisted.
He Lingzhi quickly controlled her True Qi, allowing Song Xiaodong's True Qi to wander through her meridians.
When Song Xiaodong's True Qi reached He Lingzhi's Dantian, he noticed her True Qi was still as it was before and hadn't formed a cyclone like his. He couldn't help but wonder, "Did you really practice according to my method?"
"Yes," He Lingzhi nodded earnestly.
"That's strange." Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow, saying, "Let's go see the others and check if they've succeeded."
They went directly to the backyard, and a few including Su Zhentian hadn't succeeded either.
Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow and said, "That's strange, I found it very easy to practice, why can't you all?"
Dragon Six smiled slightly and said, "Family Head, it's not surprising. You've created a new mental method, a very advanced cultivation technique. Everything came naturally, whereas we're just copying your method. This involves personal True Qi condition and understanding of the cultivation technique, which surely can't match you."
Su Zhentian chimed in, "A profound cultivation technique, if anyone could learn it easily, it would lose its uniqueness. It requires some luck, and perhaps we're missing that."
Song Xiaodong couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated, saying, "Such a good thing, if you can't learn it, it's really a pity. I'll research and see if there's a better way for you to practice."
Dragon Six said with a smile, "Family Head, no need to rush. We already know the basics, and we can explore it slowly. That way, when we truly gain something, it's ours to own."
Song Xiaodong nodded, saying, "That indeed makes sense."
Su Zhentian laughed heartily, "Family Head, throughout history, those capable of creating their own techniques are Grandmasters of the Generation. You've already created two techniques, an absolute top-tier grandmaster level, I'm really looking forward to seeing what achievements you can reach. One day, Family Head will surely stand atop the ancient martial arts peak."
Dragon Six proudly said, "Family Head will certainly have that day, we shall wait and see."
Song Xiaodong also laughed, saying, "Since you say so, I must work even harder. Otherwise, wouldn't I be letting you down?"
He Lingzhi looked at Shen Ning and said, "You even have women here, so I'll hang around here in the future."
"This lady is?" Su Zhentian asked Song Xiaodong in confusion, as it was his first time seeing He Lingzhi.
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, saying, "This is He Lingzhi, from the He family in Beijing, my fiancée."
No one was surprised about Song Xiaodong having another wife, but Su Zhentian asked, "Madam staying here is...?"
He Lingzhi said, "I'm here to practice with you all."
Song Xiaodong laughed, "Zhentian, Dragon Six, Lingzhi's skills are as good as yours, plus she has the inheritance of a great family. Discussing with her will be beneficial for you."
Su Zhentian quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Madam."
He Lingzhi didn't deny her identity and waved her hand, saying, "Don't think of me as someone special, just consider me as a companion."
Su Zhentian respectfully said, "Since Madam says so, we shall follow suit."
He Lingzhi quickly said, "No need to be so polite, if you always speak like that, I won't feel comfortable." She didn't deny it, but being addressed as Madam felt quite awkward.
Song Xiaodong also laughed, "No need to be formal with Lingzhi, she's just a martial arts enthusiast."
Having settled He Lingzhi, Song Xiaodong had to prepare to go to the Provincial City, as it was Friday again.
He arrived at the main villa, first explaining some matters to Su Yuya, taking advantage of the absence of others. After discussing business, Su Yuya whispered, "Family Head, Qingqing hasn't discovered anything, right?"
Song Xiaodong looked at Su Yuya and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Come on, Aunt, we have nothing going on, no need to worry."
Su Yuya immediately said, "It's because there's nothing going on that I don't want any misunderstandings."
"No worries, they haven't thought anything else. By the way, Aunt, I must thank you, I truly gained a huge benefit from you."
Su Yuya smiled and said, "That's good, otherwise I'd feel guilty for tiring you out so much."
