She also wants a sincere relationship.
"Don’t cry, our array hasn’t been broken yet, there’s no need for a life-and-death separation."
Shen Wang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry; women are really emotional and easily moved to tears.
He glanced at the teary-eyed goldfish in the pool, wondering why it was the same. Is it because it’s female?
The roaring thunder above continued for a quarter of an hour before finally having to stop.
Unable to break the array, continuing to deplete cultivation would be a pure waste.
"Master-level Array +10!"
When the three of them failed to break the array together, Shen Wang suddenly received a large reward in array experience.
Among the array masters, he easily entered the hall, gained some achievements, and became more confident in dealing with the upcoming attacks.
Noticing that Profound Thunder Zhenren put away his flying sword and retreated without attacking again, Shen Wang said plainly, "Senior, are you not continuing?"
"Kid, you do have some skills. You managed to obtain three arrays and know how to combine them. You have both talent and financial resources; I underestimated you before."
Profound Thunder Zhenren looked deeply at Shen Wang, his gaze changing slightly.
Previously, his attention was on Paper Kite, but now it has shifted to this person.
He was very curious about where this kid got the money to acquire three sets of middle-grade arrays. Even if he wanted to buy so many, he would have to prepare for a long time, and he basically wouldn’t do it because his background and strength didn’t require these arrays for protection.
But this kid managed it.
Where did the Spirit Stones come from?
Even the Shen Family likely can’t produce so many Spirit Stones at once, and the wealth of a talisman master wouldn’t earn this much.
Recalling the information obtained about this person on the way here, he was convinced that this kid has secrets, certainly more than just one treasure.
Shen Wang felt uneasy under the scrutiny, completely uncomfortable.
He knew the other had started to suspect. The wealth required for three sets of arrays was not in line with his strength, which was problematic in itself.
"If you’re not going to continue attacking, I’ll go back to cultivating then. Too bad, I wanted to see how powerful a Golden Core Zhenren is!"
Shen Wang shrugged lightly as he spoke.
"Kid, there’s no need to provoke me. There are no outsiders here. I don’t need any face, moreover, I don’t even care about face."
Profound Thunder Zhenren sneered and did not continue to make a move.
He was reluctant to use talismans or other secret treasures to attack this array.
Scanning around, not finding any flaws, he said, "Call more people later, prepare to break the array with force, or break the array with another array."
Breaking an array alone has always been difficult, but with more people gathering their strength, breaking the array would be much easier.
No need for individuals to be extremely powerful, just having more people naturally makes it easier, not to mention using one array to break another.
Yun Conghui hesitated and said, "Third Elder, this shouldn’t be made a big deal, who should we call? Whether it’s family or sect members, it’s easy to get noticed."
"Hmph, who else? Naturally, those from the Black Water Stronghold. Didn’t he just kill the head of Black Water Stronghold? They have every reason to come for revenge."
Profound Thunder Zhenren mocked, showing no hesitation in revealing their collusion with Black Water Stronghold.
Paper Kite turned pale as she listened.
She understood why Black Water Stronghold dared to attack the Yun Family’s caravan, why she remained unharmed after being captured.
Returning to the family, she was likely already set up as a disposable pawn, just a cure for Ling Shu’s injuries.
They created so much trouble just to hide their bloody actions, simply to avoid public discussion.
"I have always been plotted against by family members, how pitiful and pathetic..."
She couldn’t help but squeeze Shen Wang’s hand.
The family already sees her as a discarded pawn; she has only Shen Wang to rely on.
"What’s there to pity? You are my woman, not an incidental price to be discarded by them."
Shen Wang snorted coldly, "Hurry back and rest for the baby, here’s a Sound Insulation Talisman, attach two more, and rest quietly."
He took out two talismans and stuffed them into Paper Kite’s hand, forcing her to go back.
Not paying further attention to Profound Thunder Zhenren, Shen Wang took a step to the poolside and thought about the situation with Black Water Stronghold.
He only stayed there for half a day; during the rescue, he encountered no less than thirty Innate Grandmasters and hundreds or thousands of Postnatal martial artists. With a few Grandmasters combined in an attack, even if they couldn’t break the array, they could definitely cause significant consumption.
He must ensure the array’s operation requires enough Spirit Stones in the coming days.
This is precisely what he lacks, although he has Spirit Crystals, the spiritual energy within is likely purer than Top-grade Spirit Stones, enough to sustain for a long time, but it cannot be discovered, otherwise it will attract more powerful enemies.
"Master, you are a good person."
Beside him, Lan Kui said brightly, her large eyes glinting with a peculiar light.
"Shut up, don’t talk."
Shen Wang was in a bad mood now, being targeted by a Golden Core Zhenren, who would be in a good mood?
But he had no choice, he could only go this path to the end.
In his Sea of Consciousness, visualizing Luo Shen, Shen Wang quickly calmed his heart and concentrated, entering the cultivation state.
He first needs to reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, then begin preparing for Foundation Establishment.
Shen Wang’s daughter lay on her side looking outside.
"Such commotion, it seems Dad and the others have provoked some enemies, I can’t just sit and wait to die."
She thought about her own situation: "Although I’ve been cultivating the Luo God Visualization Method over the past few months, and nurturing my body nightly with spiritual energy, along with Dad warming my meridians with spiritual power, both my soul and body have been strengthened significantly.
But I am still too young, it’s not enough yet, I must further accelerate the reinforcement of my meridians and bones to withstand the impact of spiritual power."
Ruo Water pondered in her heart, "Originally I planned to slowly reinforce for another half year, but with the current tense situation, I still need to directly accelerate."
"The spiritual energy around here is too sparse, better use that top-notch Qi Gathering Technique for assistance, otherwise, I would have to rely on Spirit Crystals like that stupid fish."
Thinking this, Ruo Water’s small fingers hid under her clothes, forming a finger technique slowly, "Fortunately, I learned the Heaven-Cutting Finger Qi Gathering Technique by coincidence back then; this can gather all the spiritual energy heaven and earth for my use, improving my cultivation speed considerably."
As she executed the finger technique, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly accelerated toward her body, absorbed into her, speeding up the strengthening process.
[Your daughter begins actively gathering Qi to temper her body; the Longevity Species passive effect activates, and you obtain the Heaven-Cutting Finger Qi Gathering Technique]
Outside, a prompt rang in Shen Wang’s ear, followed by an additional finger technique in his mind. This finger technique had only one effect, which was Gathering Qi.
This is the first step of Qi Cultivation; to cultivate spiritual power, one must first use the effect of the spirit root and absorb and gather the spiritual energy surrounding them into their body through intention, then refine it through the circulation within the meridians and convert it into power that one can control.
Now this finger technique was incredibly compelling, capable of directly intercepting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enhancing the effect of gathering Qi.
As the input of spiritual energy increased, the cultivation speed naturally rose together.
Shen Wang was overjoyed, "This girl understands the urgency and has started cultivating herself; truly remarkable, as expected of the Empress reincarnated."
He couldn’t help but try it out himself. When his ring finger and index finger formed the specific finger technique, as spiritual power was mobilized, the nearby spiritual energy was like encountering an outlet, crazily converging toward Shen Wang.
"Hiss, the effect is actually this intense, improving the cultivation efficiency by ten times might be possible!"
Shen Wang was extremely delighted.
