Chapter 1220 - 1221: Lu Yaobing Actually Succeeded
Song Xiaodong said, "This is a great opportunity. Pay attention to your dantian. As soon as True Qi is generated there, follow the method I taught you."
Yao Bing's spirit was lifted, and she said, "Ah, I almost forgot about this."
Song Xiaodong was both amused and helpless. With such a careless disciple, he didn't know whether to scold her or praise her. He said in a low voice, "Start now." Then he laid Yao Bing down on the bed.
Yao Bing quickly said, "Okay, okay." Then she closed her eyes.
Song Xiaodong sat beside Yao Bing, hesitating whether to use his own True Qi to observe the changes in Yao Bing's True Qi internally.
But he eventually dismissed the thought. For this new cultivation technique, it could only be a trial, and no matter what the technique is, self-understanding is always better than being taught by others.
So he still hoped that Yao Bing could comprehend it on her own.
His perception ability could feel the changes in a person's muscles, but he couldn't perceive the internal changes in True Qi.
So now he could only wait for Yao Bing to wake up and see her condition then.
An hour passed, and Yao Bing hadn't woken up.
Two hours passed, and Yao Bing still had her eyes tightly closed.
Three hours...
Four hours...
As more time passed, Song Xiaodong's confidence grew stronger. Since Yao Bing didn't have much True Qi in her body, even if it was used up, she could recover in one or two hours during normal times.
Since it took so much time now, it was evident that she had mastered the method of circulating True Qi. Once True Qi formed a cohesive effect, filling the dantian would require more True Qi, which would take more time.
It wasn't until just after 1 AM that Yao Bing finally opened her eyes.
"How is it?" Song Xiaodong asked Yao Bing with a smile.
Yao Bing said, "I don't know either. Master, you take a look."
Song Xiaodong nodded and reached into Lu Yao's bathrobe through a gap, pressing on her dantian area to feel more clearly.
As his True Qi entered Yao Bing's dantian, it encountered a mass of rotating True Qi that, although weak, instantly repelled Song Xiaodong's True Qi.
Song Xiaodong was overjoyed and said, "It's done."
"Really done?" Yao Bing's eyes also showed an excited smile.
"It should be done. Let me check again." Song Xiaodong sent True Qi in again. It took three parts of his True Qi just to resist the repelling force of Yao Bing's True Qi.
Song Xiaodong's three parts of True Qi were already quite strong. That Yao Bing's little True Qi could have such an effect was enough to demonstrate the power of this method.
After carefully sensing the circulation of Yao Bing's True Qi, Song Xiaodong finally nodded, looking at Yao Bing, and said, "Yao Bing, you're really a good disciple. You succeeded in just one try."
"It wasn't that hard." Yao Bing replied with a smiling tone.
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, saying, "Yao Bing, if you say that out loud, do you know how many experts in our family would spit blood?"
"Why do you say that?" Yao Bing looked at Song Xiaodong with curiosity.
"Ha... Several experts in our family, I taught them the method, but they couldn't learn it at all. If they knew you learned it, they'd be driven mad."
"Haha... I'm that amazing?" Yao Bing's eyebrows lifted with joy.
Song Xiaodong was also very happy at this moment and praised Yao Bing without reservation, "Yes, you are very impressive, really making me proud."
Yao Bing sat up, stretched out her arms, and wrapped them around Song Xiaodong's neck, smiling as she said, "Master, shouldn't you give me a big reward then?"
Song Xiaodong casually embraced Yao Bing's waist, saying, "Go ahead, what reward do you want? Master will agree to anything."
"Really?" Yao Bing tilted her head and blinked at Song Xiaodong.
"Of course, it's true," Song Xiaodong replied with certainty.
"Then... Master, can we sleep in the same bed tonight?"
Song Xiaodong's expression stiffened, and his smile froze.
Yao Bing immediately pouted her lips, saying, "Master, you're lying, aren't you? Look, as soon as I make a request, you regret it."
Song Xiaodong gave a light cough and said, "Yao Bing, you're my disciple. It's not appropriate."
Yao Bing lifted her chin and said, "I didn't mean we'd do anything. I just want to be closer to you."
Song Xiaodong looked at Yao Bing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yao Bing, make another request. This time, Master will definitely keep his word."
"Then I'll sleep in your bed tonight," Yao Bing blinked like a little fox at Song Xiaodong.
"Naughty." Only then did Song Xiaodong realize Yao Bing was joking. He lightly slapped her on the buttocks, saying, "Making fun of your master when there's nothing else to do; you're getting more and more unruly."
Yao Bing giggled and said, "Today I'm just so happy. Master praised me like this, which is better than any reward."
"Ha, then in the future, if you want anything, just tell Master. A house, a car, whatever you want."
Yao Bing stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, if you pamper me like this, I might think I'm a rich heiress."
Song Xiaodong was even more delighted, "Being my disciple makes you worth a thousand gold. If my disciple still lives a difficult life, it would be a huge disgrace to me."
"Master, you're the best." Yao Bing looked at Song Xiaodong and suddenly leaned forward to give him a peck on the cheek.
Song Xiaodong could have dodged, but he didn't. Dodging at that moment would have ruined the mood.
Song Xiaodong patted Yao Bing's waist, saying, "Alright, while sleeping, remember to reflect a bit. This way, even while sleeping, you can consolidate your achievements."
"Okay, then I'll go wash up and come back to sleep." This time, Yao Bing obediently let go of Song Xiaodong, jumped off the bed like a bird, and ran cheerfully to the bathroom.
After they both washed up, they lay down on separate beds. Song Xiaodong switched off the light and said, "Don't forget what I told you. Before sleeping, be sure to consolidate again."
"Okay, Master," Yao Bing answered seriously, and after a while, muttered quietly, "This bathrobe is uncomfortable to sleep in. I better not wear it."
Then there was the sound of rustling, followed by the sound of clothes hitting the floor.
Song Xiaodong couldn't help but sweat inwardly. His perception ability made him clearly aware that Yao Bing had taken off her bathrobe, and at that moment, she wasn't just free of the bathrobe but also without her little undergarments.
