Lü Man arrived in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital and left less than ten minutes later.
Lü Man, clad in a green dress, stood at the entrance of the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, recalling the glimpse she caught of Bai Ya coiled on a tree in Chen Yang's courtyard. She sighed inwardly: 'Bai Ya, staying by that person's side, your future might be even brighter than if you remained in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion...'
After thinking this, Lü Man unfurled her Dou Qi Wings and leisurely flew toward the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. This time, she was no longer in a hurry... In Chen Yang's courtyard, after seeing Lü Man off, Hai Bodong returned to Chen Yang and happened to see Chen Yang imparting a Cultivation Technique to Qing Lin. Since Qing Lin was only an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner, changing her Cultivation Technique was not a major issue.
Moreover, the Cultivation Techniques of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion lineage shared commonalities. Qing Lin held the "Heavenly Serpent Secret Canon" and gained enlightenment after just two and a half minutes of reading.
"Young Master, I feel that I should be able to complete the transition of the Cultivation Technique very soon," Qing Lin said sweetly to Chen Yang.
"Your Sister Xiao Yi Xian and Sister Ya Fei are both in seclusion attempting to Break through to Dou Ling, so you must work hard too!" Chen Yang reached out and patted Qing Lin's small head.
"Mhm, Qing Lin will work very, very hard!" Qing Lin puffed up her cheeks and said earnestly to Chen Yang.
She definitely, definitely would not disappoint Young Master.
Although she was only Young Master's Maid, who says a Maid can only do tasks like serving tea and pouring water? She wanted to become Young Master's strongest Maid, solving many, many problems for him. That way, even if Young Master one day didn't like having her as a Maid, he wouldn't drive her away, right?
The little girl was used to being bullied since childhood and had suffered many instances of abandonment. She felt nothing about the repeated losses in the past; she had grown accustomed to them.
But this time, she didn't want to leave Young Master; she absolutely did not want to leave!
...It would take some time for Qing Lin to completely finish transitioning her Cultivation Technique. Watching the girl happily skip toward her room after being patted on the head, Chen Yang turned to look at Hai Bodong.
"Elder Hai, here are two High-Grade Profound Tier Dou Techniques and one Earth Tier Middle-Grade Dou Skill. They are all ice-attributed, so take them and Cultivate!" Chen Yang kept Hai Bodong behind specifically to give him these three Dou Techniques.
Speaking of which, these three Dou Techniques were almost gathering dust in Chen Yang's storage ring; he only remembered them yesterday while organizing his storage ring.
These three Dou Techniques were originally requested by him from Yao Lao for Hai Bodong.
"Young Lord, this... this is too valuable!!!"
The highest Rank Dou Technique Hai Bodong himself had Cultivated was only High-Grade Profound Tier. For so many years, even with the Mittel Family's foundation, they hadn't managed to collect an Ice-attributed Earth Rank Dou Technique suitable for him. Yet now, Chen Yang not only produced one but gave him an Earth Tier Middle-Grade Dou Skill right away. This was simply... "If I tell you to take it, then take it. Only when your strength, Elder Hai, increases can you better assist me, right?" Chen Yang said with a light chuckle.
"This subordinate... this subordinate understands!" A sparkle flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes, but it was condensed into ice crystals by a wisp of Ice-attributed Dou Qi. He bowed and accepted the three Dou Techniques Chen Yang handed over, secretly vowing to diligently master this Earth Rank Dou Technique.
"Alright, go back and Cultivate well!" Chen Yang stood up, walked in front of Hai Bodong, reached out, and patted his shoulder.
"Yes, Young Lord!" Hai Bodong nodded heavily and retreated from the small courtyard with the three Dou Techniques.
Hearing the creak of the courtyard door closing again, Hai Bodong secretly swore that he must work hard to Cultivate and absolutely not disappoint the Young Lord.
His eyes swept over the Earth Tier Middle-Grade Dou Skill Scroll. The four large characters "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar" contained a burst of Soul Power that seemed capable of freezing a person's Soul, making his blood boil.
"'Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar', I, Hai, will definitely use you to make a name for myself on the Fighting Qi Continent!" Hai Bodong silently recited, then turned and headed straight for his own courtyard to enter seclusion!
...Seeing everyone go into seclusion to Cultivate, Chen Yang, having nothing else to do, sorted through the medicinal herbs Lü Man had delivered. He had enough medicinal herbs for the spirit fusing pill, enough for three sets in fact. However, the one missing medicinal herb was the main ingredient for Xiao Yan's earth fire green lotus pill. It seemed Xiao Yan was having some bad luck.
Chen Yang smiled. After sorting the medicinal herbs, he took out his Medicine Cauldron and began refining the Medicinal Pills Qing Lin needed for her Cultivation.
Just like that, a week passed in a flash. That morning, good news came from both Qing Lin and Hai Bodong: one successfully transitioned her Cultivation Technique, and the other had grasped the Initial Entry Point of "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar."
Just as Chen Yang was wondering if Qing Lin's Cultivation Technique would trigger the System mechanism, a System Prompt Sound suddenly sounded in his ear:
