Xing Jiajia spoke, opening her mouth to issue several commands.
The puppy heard Xing Jiajia's orders and obediently lifted a paw, spun around, and sat down on the spot, just like a well-trained police dog.
At this moment, Ling Tian walked over and patted Xing Jiajia on the shoulder.
"Jiajia, my home is very large, and your master and mistress are often not home. You would be very bored staying alone.
How about this, you can take this bench with you too. My home needs a guard dog, and it can also be your companion!"
Hearing Ling Tian say this, Xing Jiajia's eyes welled up with tears of joy.
"That's great, Bench, we don't have to be separated anymore, we can go to our new home!"
Xing Jiajia was very well-behaved and sensible. She knew that Bench was a stray dog and was not favored, so she hadn't asked her teacher to take the puppy with her. But she never expected her teacher to be so understanding.
Little did she know, Ling Tian was telling the truth.
Ling Tian had wanted to get two dogs for his home for a long time, but he was worried that if he and his wife went out together, no one would be home to look after them or feed them.
Now that Xing Jiajia was moving into his home, with someone living there permanently, having a puppy to guard the house and keep Xing Jiajia company was a win-win situation.
After getting into the car, the puppy curled up obediently in Xing Jiajia's arms. It wasn't scared, nor did it move around like other dogs. It just kept looking at Ling Tian with its bright, dark eyes.
The little creature could sense a desirable aura emanating from Ling Tian.
Two hours later, the car arrived at Wangjiazhuang, at Ling Tian's home.
Ling Tian turned on the landscape lights of the house. Even at night, the general outline of the house appeared before everyone.
"Wow, what a big house..." Xing Jiajia had never imagined that she would have the chance to live in a residence like those only seen on television.
Leading Xing Jiajia into the house, Ling Tian cleared out a guest room near the study for Xing Jiajia to live in.
This guest room was over thirty square meters, with an en-suite bathroom and a balcony outside.
There was also a writing desk on the balcony where she could read and study. Xing Jiajia loved this living environment immensely.
"Jiajia, you can stay here for now. See if you need anything else. Tomorrow, your mistress will take you out to buy whatever you need.
Don't worry about saving money for your master. As long as you study hard and inherit my legacy, your master's cultivation will not be in vain."
"Thank you, Master!"
Next, Ling Tian went out to get some tools and materials and built a simple dog house in the yard.
Wang Bingxia and Xing Jiajia were not idle either. The two of them helped wash the little Bench.
Indeed, the once dirty puppy looked so spirited after its bath.
It wasn't until past 10 PM, close to bedtime, that Agou suddenly appeared, holding a bowl of medicinal soup.
"Here, Jiajia, drink this medicinal soup."
"Master, this is..."
"As a doctor, you must first be healthy yourself to have the energy and stamina to treat patients. If you look sickly, which patient would trust you to treat them?"
Xing Jiajia nodded. What her teacher said made so much sense that she couldn't refute it.
After drinking the bowl of medicinal soup, to her surprise, it wasn't bitter at all. Instead, it was sweet, like drinking herbal tea.
As soon as the soup went down, she felt a warm current spread from her stomach and intestines to her limbs and bones. It felt extremely comfortable.
Little did Xing Jiajia know that the medicinal herbs Ling Tian had used for this prescription were worth over ten thousand yuan.
Ling Tian spared no expense in building a good body for the child.
This was a promising talent, and his first disciple. Ling Tian naturally wouldn't be careless or negligent.
"Come, Jiajia, follow me to the third floor!"
Xing Jiajia followed Ling Tian to the third floor and was even more astonished to see the massive glass greenhouse on the rooftop and the various plants inside.
The two of them arrived at the pavilion on the third floor and sat down on separate futons.
"Your Aunt Qiu Hong told me you've been practicing the 'Su Nu Jing.' How long have you been practicing, and to what extent? Do you have a sense of Qi yet?"
"Master, I've been practicing for four months. As for the sense of Qi, it seems like I have it, but also like I don't. I can't be sure..."
The little girl's voice grew softer and less confident as she spoke.
"Master, am I very stupid..."
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Is internal cultivation that easy to practice?
Many people are considered very accomplished if they can develop Qi within one or two years.
And most people who cultivate internal martial arts take three to five years to develop a sense of Qi!
Some people practice their entire lives without ever knowing what a sense of Qi is, and then they say that Chinese internal cultivation is heresy, which is utterly despicable!"
"So that's how it is." Xing Jiajia stuck out her tongue. As long as her master didn't find her stupid, she was fine.
"Come, extend your hand!"
Xing Jiajia offered her hand, and Ling Tian placed two fingers on her pulse.
Soon, a look of joy appeared on Ling Tian's face. Not bad, this little girl had actually developed a sense of Qi!
Developing a sense of Qi in just four months, her aptitude was considered superior in cultivation. It seemed he had truly found a treasure today.
"Come, start cultivating now. Calm your mind, and I will assist you."
Xing Jiajia sat cross-legged on the futon, with her five senses oriented towards the center. She calmed her mind and began to cultivate the Su Nu Jing.
However, to Xing Jiajia's surprise, in this environment, she quickly entered a state of meditation. Not only that, but the faint sense of Qi that occasionally appeared normally seemed to become clearer here!
Little did she know that the concentration of spiritual energy in Ling Tian's place was five times that of the outside world, and even more than ten times that of the city.
In such an environment, whether cultivating internal energy or Daoist arts, the results would be twice as effective!
This was not all. The jade pendant on Xing Jiajia's neck was also meticulously crafted by Ling Tian. Even if she wasn't cultivating at Ling Tian's place, wearing this jade pendant would double or even triple the cultivation effect.
With so many buffs stacked together, it would be strange if Xing Jiajia didn't feel any changes.
At this moment, Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the futon behind Xing Jiajia. He extended his hands, with his thumbs pressing on the Dazhui and Mingmen acupoints on Xing Jiajia's back.
After a moment, a surge of powerful true essence flowed into Xing Jiajia's body.
Xing Jiajia felt the true essence, and her attention was involuntarily drawn to it.
Subsequently, this true essence began to circulate throughout Xing Jiajia's meridians.
Wherever the true essence passed, it expanded the previously narrow and thin meridians.
