Chuyi got into the car and sat in the front passenger seat. Finally, the group set off back to Jinling Prefecture.
At nightfall, the business car arrived at Jinling Prefecture. They first sent Lu Sisi home. When bidding farewell, the girl couldn’t hold back her emotions. She held Chen Yan’s hand and talked on the roadside for a while, before reluctantly walking into the neighborhood, turning back every few steps.
Then, when they returned to the villa area and got out of the car, Chuyi finally noticed Gu Qingyi getting out from the back seat.
He was stunned at that moment!
The two had never met face to face. During the whole journey, Gu Qingyi sat quietly in the corner of the last row. Chuyi only now realized that there was such a person in the car!
Chen Yan thought for a moment and slowly said, "...Hmm, call her Auntie Gu."
Without hesitation, Chuyi walked straight to Gu Qingyi, bent over, and sincerely called out "Auntie Gu!"
Seeing his posture, Chen Yan knew that even if he asked Chuyi to kneel twice on the spot, he would do it without a second thought.
This foolish kid has one good quality - no matter what you ask him to do, he does it obediently without unnecessary questions. If Chen Yan doesn’t speak, he won’t ask around.
Chuyi diligently helped move all the stuff into the house and then picked up the broom to start cleaning.
Chen Yan quickly asked him to put it down, frowning, "Who taught you this? Working as soon as you enter the house?"
Chuyi looked a bit bewildered, "Master said... When I told him I would come to Jinling Prefecture with you after the New Year, he taught me to be diligent and do chores when I arrived at your house..."
Chen Yan sighed, "No need to do that here. Hmm, rest tonight. I’ll take you to learn martial arts first thing tomorrow morning."
"Brother, am I not staying at your place?"
"No, you won’t stay here. I found a teacher for you to learn martial arts."
Not letting Chuyi stay at his house was something Chen Yan had planned.
The Cloud Sect Technique has flaws. Although Chen Yan fixed some issues, some innate deficiencies can’t be remedied.
For instance, cultivating the Cloud Sect Technique requires first nurturing the body and character, free from worldly contamination!
Simply put, at the beginning, one must live like a monk, avoid riches, eschew luxury, and maintain a clear mind to have a chance at perceiving Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
If Chuyi stays at his house...
He and Gu Qingyi live a lifestyle of indulgence!
Living in a luxury villa, eating gourmet meals... Prime rib eye steaks are used for potato stew, and top-quality green tea is made into milk tea.
With such a lifestyle, what kind of hard cultivation could Chuyi achieve here?
Moreover, since he’s learning the Cloud Sect Technique, it’s best to learn from Chu Keqing. She has studied it for twenty years; who could be more familiar with it than her?
Chuyi, being uncomplicated, had a simple dinner in the evening and went to rest in the guest room Chen Yan arranged for him, not coming out.
Sitting in the living room watching TV, Gu Qingyi withdrew her gaze when she saw Chuyi return to his room and gently sighed, "What a pity."
"What a pity about what?" Chen Yan sat next to Gu Qingyi and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table.
Gu Qingyi shook her head and said, "This little brother of yours, what a pity."
After a pause, Gu Qingyi continued, "He has a special physique, the Innate Yang Fire Body. Even if he never cultivates in his lifetime, his physical qualities are far superior to ordinary people. With Yang Fire in him, he’s immune to all evils, rarely gets sick, and has a longer lifespan than most people.
Such a physique is excellent material for learning combat techniques.
If I encountered such a person in the Domain Realm, I would take him under my wing, teach the Gu Family’s Outer Sect Combat Technique, let him cultivate for a few years, and then take him to the Prison Suppression Platform for training for ten years. If fortunate enough not to die in battle, he would have the chance to reach the Ascension Realm’s peak, just a step away from the Celestial Human Realm!
Further, if destiny favors, breaking through to the Realm-Breaking Celestial would make him a renowned expert in the Domain Realm! But unfortunately, it won’t work in your world..."
Chen Yan asked, "Why?"
Gu Qingyi glanced at Chen Yan, "The Gu Family’s Combat Technique enters the Dao through killing! In your world, who would he kill? Unless you send him to the battlefield?"
"Uh..." Chen Yan’s eyes rolled, "Sending him to the battlefield is unrealistic, but sending him to a slaughterhouse is not hard.
I can bribe someone, send him to kill pigs and sheep, slaughter chickens and ducks daily; it’s not difficult."
Gu Qingyi sneered, "Do you think the Gu Family’s Dao through killing works with any kind of killing?"
Saying this, the girl shook her head slowly, "I killed many chickens in your hometown a few days ago. It only helped calm my accumulated killing intent but did nothing for my cultivation.
Indeed, the Gu Family’s Combat Technique requires killing creatures with spiritual intelligence!
Humans, spirit monsters, beings from myriad realms; any creature with awakened spiritual wisdom can be killed to seize their Spiritual Light, honing one’s path of cultivation!
But killing the non-spiritual creatures you mentioned, birds and beasts, only serves to release killing intent without aiding cultivation."
Chen Yan wondered, "Isn’t it said that all things have spirits?"
"Nonsense, misleading words," Gu Qingyi firmly declared. "Where did you hear such fallacies? If all things had spirits... Why were those chickens placed before you on the dining table a few days ago instead of sitting next to you?"
Pausing a moment, Gu Qingyi looked sternly at Chen Yan and said, "Chen Yan, remember this!
Living creatures exist in hierarchical order!
The Heavenly Dao is merciless! The Heavenly Dao is never fair!!"
Chen Yan remained silent.
The next day, Chen Yan got up early and took Chuyi to the agreed-upon location with Chu Keqing.
