Ten minutes had passed...

"Did you guys hear just what I heard?"

"I did; why couldn't I hear it?!"

"I'm not dreaming, right? Please slap my face!"

Smack!!!

"Oh… it really hurts!!!"

After Zheng-Fu walked away, a loud noise suddenly rang out as everyone regained their senses. They all could not believe what they heard. But even then, they still did not believe it because they had not seen it with their own eyes.

"Father, are those dimensional rings?" the conscious young man turned and asked his father about the three rings in the middle-aged man's hand.

"Ah! I'll try to check first."

Whirl!!!

Immediately, the middle-aged man sent a wave of energy into the dimensional rings to examine. His face froze with beads of sweat trickling down his forehead, unable to speak. His expression made everyone who was talking around him turn to look at the middle-aged man with suspicion.

Grab!!!

"What is it, Xiao-Yu!?" When the elderly man saw his son's motionlessness, he touched his shoulder and asked curiously.

"Sigh... I have to apologize to everyone. I'm a bit shocked… These three rings are definitely dimensional rings, and each has three pings of space."

"Three pings!!!"

Just as the middle-aged man said the words 'three pings,' exclamations of shock suddenly rang out in unison because everyone here knew well that its price was not less at all.

"That's right, three pings. I was shocked at first, too. But what shocked me until I froze was all the items inside. These three rings contain more than a million monster crystal coins and tens of thousands of Qi energy stones, and they also contain intermediate and advanced-level martial arts skills textbooks. Most importantly, rice and food supplies are available."

..............?...............

At the end of the middle-aged man's voice, the interior of the hall where they were meeting fell silent, with everyone standing still as if their spirits had left their bodies, not even the elder and the young men.

Everyone stood still for so long until the time passed. The figures, who were as still as without a soul, regained consciousness and prepared to open their mouths to say something, but the middle-aged man raised his hand and said first,

"Don't say anything right now. I ask everyone to calm down first... You must have heard that Young Master said that he forbade his men from knowing about this matter. If all of you open your mouths, everyone will hear it. And this can't be kept a secret." The middle-aged man had come to his senses before everyone else, so he spoke very calmly and in a flat tone.

"Um..."

Everyone nodded as they responded immediately upon hearing that. Everyone thought that if they made the youth who walked out earlier angry, their fate would be nothing but death.

At the house where Bao-Jin and his group stayed...

"Sleeping in a house like this is actually better than in the forest!" one of the young men in the group said happily, rolling around.

"What are you talking about…? I saw you could sleep anywhere!" another young man immediately interjected when the first one finished speaking.

Ha ha ha!!!

"That's right. I saw that you could sleep anywhere. Just let your back and your head hit the ground."

"Oh… Bao-Bao, you're exaggerating. I'm not that kind of person!"

Everyone in the group was still having fun chatting without knowing what Zheng-Fu had been doing in the past few shichen. But even if they thought about it, they could not find the answer. So, everyone focused on resting to the fullest during this period instead.

Creak!!!

"You came back!?" As soon as the door opened, the young woman's voice was the first to ring out as she saw who opened it.

Huh...?

"Sister!?" As Bao-Jin saw that his younger sister was happy to see Zheng-Fu, his brows suddenly furrowed because he knew very well what her personality was.

"Um... I'm back. I'm very tired today. Let me rest. Tomorrow we'll continue our journey. If anyone doesn't want to lie down, you should spend your free time cultivating rather than sitting around or doing some nonsense," Zheng-Fu replied to the young woman with a calm face before walking to the corner of the room and closing his eyes without listening to any answers or questions from anyone else.

"Tsk!!! Whatever you want to do, just do it!" Of course, Zheng-Fu's actions and his cold expression towards her caused the young woman, Bao-Bao, to frown with dissatisfaction.

Thump!!! (Feet stomping sound)

As for the rest, they did not dare to say anything but shut up and went back to their own place to cultivate, as Zheng-Fu said, by using the intermediate Qi stones obtained earlier to absorb the energy.

Two shichens had passed...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After two shichen had passed, the sounds of explosions within the Dantian continued to sound. They came from the group of Bao-Jin, who was sitting cultivating. They were all at the elementary level of the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, they were able to break through to the next level quickly like this. And it seemed that this was not the end because the Qi energy stones that were used to absorb the energy in everyone's hands still had a lot of Qi energy left.

But absorbing all the energy at once would be impossible for them. Zheng-Fu thought to give them one more shichen and then told them to stop.

One shichen passed by quickly...

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

After another shichen or so had passed, as Zheng-Fu had expected, the sound of breaking through levels finally rose again. During this breakthrough, some people were even pale because they had absorbed too much energy from Qi energy stones, and their realms could not take it. Zheng-Fu then used his energy wave to break everyone out of the reverie of cultivation.

Argh!!!

Huff huff huff!!!

The sound of breathlessness continued after everyone had broken out from absorbing the energy. Even Bao-Jin himself was no exception. Even though he had a higher level than the others, he did not have a good foundation or cultivation technique to be able to absorb a lot of energy at once like this.

Bao-Bao, who was sulking at Zheng-Fu, had fainted since she had forced herself too much to absorb. But its effect burst out all at once because her level rose by leaps and bounds, three levels. It was different from the others, who could only add one or two steps. Only a few people could break through three levels at once.

"You guys have to balance your energies. Don't let your precious time be wasted. If you don't hurry to adjust your energies right now, you will need a lot of time later," Zheng-Fu immediately spoke up and gave advice. Then he walked towards Bao-Bao, the unconscious young woman, before placing his hand on her body and releasing the energy into her body to balance her energy.

Whirl!!!

The energy waves floating in the room were overwhelming right now. Had it not been for the sealing spell earlier, the house would have exploded. (You might be wondering that if the previous spell was an energy-controlling spell, why were they still so easy to use their energies? Because it was Zheng-Fu, that's all.) So, everyone could cultivate and balance their energies comfortably.

At last, the morning had passed until the dark night came, and then the sun of a new day slowly emerged from the horizon. It was a sign that a new day had arrived.

Yaaa!!!

"Can't believe that I can break through two levels in just one day like this!"

"Huh, huh, huh!!! Mine can go to three levels!"

"Me too... I can do three levels too... Hehe."

"Huh… That's too much! Are you guys provoking me!?"

"Enough! Why do you guys play as children? If you make noise to disturb others like this, the villagers will curse you!" Bao-Jin immediately shouted at the young men who were happily boasting of their own strength as they made a loud noise that disturbed the others.

"Yes, sir, Senior!"

After everyone chatted for a while, they all washed their bodies and reunited in the courtyard of the house. As for the young woman, after she had passed out, Zheng-Fu helped her balance her body and adjusted her meridians slightly before letting her sleep for a while. Until now, she woke up in a daze.

"Wha… what happened? Why am I lying here?" asked the young woman in a daze, turning her head left and right but not finding anyone in the house at all.

"You woke up, Sister!?" Suddenly, Bao-Jin's voice rang out with a warm and bright smile on his face.

"Um... but where have all the others gone?"

"They are outside the house. Young Master Zheng-Fu asked us to wait outside to practice our martial arts skills."

"Practice martial arts skills!?"

"Um… You better go wash yourself first. If you leave it like this, it'll stink for a long time."

Huh...?

Oops!!!

As soon as the young woman realized that her body was filled with a large amount of black liquid, she let out an embarrassed shout before pushing Bao-Jin out of the house so she could wash away all the liquid.

Half an hour had passed...

Creak!!!

"Wow… You've changed into a new outfit. You're really beautiful, Junior Bao-Bao!"

"That's right... but your thighs are still…"

Smack!!!

"When talking to women, don't talk about thighs, you know!?"

"I'm sorry!!!"

"Well, now everyone is here. Then let's continue our journey. Before we reach the next destination, we've got to go through the forest one more time," Zheng-Fu immediately interrupted when everyone had already come out. He then walked in front of everyone without listening to anyone's answer.

"Yes, sir, Young Master!!!"

Everyone followed without interruption because what Zheng-Fu said was true. Besides, they did not have time to delay. If they were late and something happened to their sect at this time, they would definitely feel guilty forever.

"Then let's go on our way. It'll be dark soon!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Wait a minute, sir. Are you going now?" But before Zheng-Fu and Bao-Jin with his group left, the elder's voice rang out.
