Two days passed…

Booooooooooom!!!

Aaaah!!!

Finally, Chang-Yue's energy absorption process was completed. It took her a total of two days to absorb all of the energy within the Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pill. Now, Chang-Yue's energy level had risen significantly. From the first level of the Golden Core stage, she had advanced to the third level of the Divine Emperor stage cultivator. At only eight years old, she could now be considered a top genius. Even Zheng-Fu was shocked by this outcome. He had initially thought that Chang-Yue would only advance to the intermediate or advanced Immortal Soul stage.

"Brother! I'm thirsty." As soon as Chang-Yue opened her eyes, she felt an intense thirst. The Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pill, which contained strong fire elemental energy, had burned a large amount of water in her body during the absorption process.

"Here's your water. Drink it carefully, or you'll choke!" Zheng-Fu immediately handed her a glass of water.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

"Thank you, Brother! But what happened? Why do I feel like I have so much energy? It's as if my energy level has risen!" After finishing the water, Chang-Yue began to notice changes in her body. It no longer felt weak, her breathing rhythm was much better, and her body felt filled with strong energy.

"You're now at the third level of the Divine Emperor stage cultivator. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything. No one will dare call you 'trash' or 'weak' anymore!" Zheng-Fu explained, reassuring her that she was no longer the weak girl she had once been because she could cultivate like other cultivators now.

"Really, Brother!? Am I really at the third level of the Divine Emperor stage and able to cultivate energy like everyone else!?" Chang-Yue's excitement and delight were evident, and she wanted to shout out loud.

"Yes! Why would I deceive you? Little Angel is much stronger now. In the future, no young woman of your generation will be able to compare with you!" Zheng-Fu nodded and confirmed his words, he was not exaggerating at all.

Previously, Chang-Yue had an elegant and beautiful face and skin, though her body was weak. Now, after being able to cultivate energy and advancing to the Divine Emperor stage, her face and skin became even more radiant and beautiful. If she were five years older, she would surely be a beauty who could make waves through the Heavenly Command Sect.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng-Fu, for everything. Without you, I don't know what I would be like now. I would definitely still be overwhelmed with sadness and sorrow. But today, I don't have to feel that way anymore. I, Chang-Yue, have a good brother like Brother Zheng-Fu, and I'm the happiest!"

Chang-Yue expressed her heartfelt gratitude with a smile and tears of joy. She felt lucky to have Zheng-Fu, who was not her blood relative but treated her like family, giving her a new life.

"It's normal for me to watch over and protect my little sister. From now on, you are my little sister, and no matter what happens, I'll protect you!" Zheng-Fu also felt happy seeing her smile.

"Let's go have breakfast. Tai-He should have prepared some food for us!" Zheng-Fu suggested eating outside the house because he had told Tai-He to prepare food for them. And they ate outside because the lions could enjoy eating together with them.

"All right!"

In the courtyard outside the house, which was now turned into a small martial training courtyard...

"Respect, Master. Breakfast is ready, sir!" Tai-He greeted as Zheng-Fu led Chang-Yue out of the house. He told them that the food was ready, he only waited for Zheng-Fu and Chang-Yue to appear.

Grrr!!! Grrr!!!

The mother and cub purple-winged lions greeted them warmly, already seated and waiting.

"Then let's start eating while the food is still hot, if it gets colder, it'll be bad!" Seeing that everything was ready, Zheng-Fu invited everyone to eat.

Mmm!!!

Grrr!!! Grrr!!!

Both the people and the monster beasts ate together happily. Especially Chang-Yue, who seemed to be the happiest of all. The next was Tai-He, who had now broken through to the first level of the Heavenly Root stage. The mother purple-winged lion's energy level had slightly increased and was expected to advance to the next stage within two months. The little lion cub had also evolved; its body looked slightly bigger, and its energy level had risen to the third level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage.

Hmm!!!

"The most delicious meal ever!" Chang-Yue said happily, patting her little belly after finishing her food.

"Thanks to Tai-He's cooking skills. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat such tasty food. I must appoint Tai-He as the chef of this mountain!" Zheng-Fu was also amazed at Tai-He's cooking skills. Previously, his skill had not been as impressive as it was now. In just a few days on the mountain, his skills had improved significantly.

"Master has complimented me too much. I only randomly cooked what I could!" Tai-He said shyly, raising a hand to scratch his head.

"Even if you just cooked what you could, the food you cooked is very delicious. Isn't that right, Chang-Yue?" Zheng-Fu thought the young man's skills had truly improved, making his cooking even better than before.

"Yes, Brother! Brother Tai-He's cooking skill is amazing!" Chang-Yue also enjoyed the food Tai-He had cooked.

"By the way, what skills are you practicing right now, Tai-He?" After some chit-chatting, Zheng-Fu asked Tai-He about the skills he was practicing.

"The skills I'm practicing? Uh… The energy cultivation skill I'm practicing is the Mind Meditation Technique, sir. It's a common Mystical Skill that anyone can buy for a few hundred low-level Purple Heaven Crystals. As for the physical skill, I'm practicing the Copper Body Skill. My agility skill is the Feet Over Grass Skill. And I'm also training two attack skills: the Slaughter Longsword Skill and the Lightning Longsword Skill, sir!"

Tai-He explained all the skills he was currently training. All of them were low-level Mystical Skills that could be easily bought in the market.

"Energy cultivation skill? What kind of skill is it?" Among all the skills Tai-He mentioned, Zheng-Fu was particularly curious about this one. Since he started cultivating, he had never heard of such a skill. Or perhaps he had simply never cared to learn about it.

"You don't know energy cultivation skills?" Tai-He looked surprised upon hearing Zheng-Fu's question. It seemed unlikely that a high-ranking cultivator like Zheng-Fu would not know about energy cultivation skills, which were essential for speeding up energy cultivation.

"If I knew, would I ask? By the way, does Little Angel know about it?" Zheng-Fu replied seriously before turning to ask Chang-Yue.

"Of course, Brother! I know about energy cultivation skills. All disciples in the Youth Academy Branch are required to practice energy cultivation skills. As for me, I'm currently practicing the Immortal Command Technique. It's the first energy cultivation skill of the Heavenly Command Sect!" Chang-Yue replied promptly that she also knew about it. The skill she was practicing was the Immortal Command Technique, the first energy cultivation skill of the Heavenly Command Sect.

"Then it means I'm the only one who doesn't know about energy cultivation skills!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed in surprise. He had never been interested in this type of skill before; perhaps such skills existed in the lower world, but he had not known about them.

"How is it possible that Master doesn't know energy cultivation skills? So how do you cultivate energy, sir?" Tai-He was curious about how Zheng-Fu had managed to cultivate energy to such a high level without knowing about energy cultivation skills.

"I just concentrate and set my mind before gathering energy around me and absorbing additional energy from various resources!" Zheng-Fu explained his method of cultivation to Tai-He.

"That is unbelievable, Master. You can cultivate and absorb natural energy just by concentrating in your mind!? That's even more powerful than using a cultivation skill at the level of Immortal Skill or Heavenly Skill, sir!" Tai-He was astonished by Zheng-Fu's method. While Zheng-Fu described it simply, his method was truly extraordinary. It was something an ordinary person couldn't achieve, and even high-ranking cultivators relied on cultivation techniques to enhance their energy.

"It's not that great. By the way, may I see the energy cultivation skills you two practice? I want to understand what they're like." Zheng-Fu did not think that what he was doing was extraordinary, because everything was mainly due to his use of external aids. He had not absorbed energy in the usual way. Therefore, he wanted to know what the technique for cultivating energy was like and how it worked. Zheng-Fu then asked to see the energy cultivation techniques of both of them.

"Of course, Master! This is my Mind Meditation Technique skill treatise!" Tai-He immediately handed Zheng-Fu the skill treatise he had been using.

"I'm sorry, Brother, but I don't have my skill treatise with me. The Youth Academy Branch only allows disciples to study these treatises inside the Treatise Tower. They aren't allowed to take them out. However, I can rewrite it for you; I remember all its contents!" Chang-Yue explained sadly. Though she didn't have the treatise due to the academy's rules, her excellent memory enabled her to rewrite it for Zheng-Fu.

"Thank you very much, Tai-He. Little Angel, thank you too. Here's some paper and a brush for you to write on. I'll read Tai-He's Mind Meditation Technique while waiting for you!" Zheng-Fu thanked Tai-He for the treatise and handed the paper and brush to Chang-Yue. Then, he began reading Tai-He's cultivation technique while waiting.
