Within her body, some meridians that were blocked due to malnutrition were forcefully broken through by Ling Tian's true essence.
That surge of true essence circulated within Xing Jiajia's body for two full cycles, finally entering her dantian.
Xing Jiajia opened her eyes and looked at Ling Tian with excitement.
"Teacher, I feel it, that's true qi!"
"That's right, Jiajia, you now have a sense of qi. Do you remember the path my true qi circulated within your body?"
Xing Jiajia nodded.
"Teacher, I remember, very clearly."
"Then tell me, how did this true qi circulate within your body, and which acupoints did it pass through?"
"Teacher's true qi entered my body from the Dazhui acupoint, then flowed down the Du meridian...
Another stream of true qi entered from the Mingmen acupoint and flowed upward along the Du meridian...
Finally, these two streams of true qi converged and entered the dantian!"
Ling Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. This girl truly kept surprising him.
What she had just said was almost entirely accurate, indicating that her understanding of the body's meridians and acupoints had reached a certain level.
This also implied, from another perspective, that the girl had pricked herself with needles quite a bit, which was why she was so familiar with the acupoints on her own body.
What Xing Jiajia didn't know was that Ling Tian's use of true essence to expand her meridians and clear blockages was equivalent to more than five years of her own arduous cultivation.
"Good, in that case, come here tomorrow before you sleep and practice cultivation on the third floor for two hours.
Don't worry about it affecting your sleep; two hours of practice here is equivalent to eight hours of deep sleep!
Also, if you're tired from studying and want to rest, or if you have nothing else to do, you can also come here to cultivate. It will only benefit you and has no drawbacks. It will also be twice as effective in restoring your energy and stamina."
"Okay, Teacher, I understand. I will definitely do as you say."
The night was deep, and Xing Jiajia had fallen asleep. She slept soundly that night and had a beautiful dream.
Ling Tian, however, was not idle. He went downstairs directly to the doghouse.
Xiao Bandeng heard the sound and looked up at Ling Tian curiously. Suddenly, the world changed. Bandeng was taken into the spiritual realm space by Ling Tian and then thrown into the Beast Taming Garden.
Although this little fellow had some intelligence, it was, after all, just a small local dog.
Ling Tian wanted to make this little fellow smarter, and it was also an opportunity for it. Spending a night in the Beast Taming Garden was equivalent to spending many days outside, at least making this little fellow smarter and unlocking more of its intelligence.
The next morning, Wang Bingxia drove Xing Jiajia into the city. They were going on a big shopping spree.
Ling Tian knew how terrifying women could be when they went shopping, so he resolutely avoided going shopping when he had free time, except to accompany Bingxia.
He thought how much better it would be to cultivate during the time spent accompanying women shopping.
After the two of them left, Ling Tian took out his tools and started working as a carpenter again. The doghouse from last night was too crude, and Ling Tian planned to make a more exquisite one.
Back on the mountain, Ling Tian had learned carpentry from several masters, and even the furniture in his room was made by his own hands.
The living conditions on the mountain were certainly not as comfortable as those off the mountain, and many things had to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Ling Tian was already accustomed to this.
As Ling Tian was busy, his phone suddenly rang. Ling Tian quickly put down his work and answered the call.
"Uncle Yi, why are you calling me? Is there something urgent?"
"Ling Tian, something has indeed happened. The head of the Jin family in Jiangzhou, Jin Tianxiang, along with his son Jin Peng, and the young master of the Bai family in Jiangzhou, Bai Haotian, have come again. They are currently arguing with the old man in the main hall!
Based on my years of experience, I feel they are not here with good intentions this time!"
"Damn it, how dare that old geezer come to Wangjia Village to cause trouble? Who gave him the guts!
Uncle Yi, don't worry, I'll go handle this matter now!"
"Ling Tian, absolutely do not act impulsively, nor underestimate them. This Jin family, and the Bai family of Jiangshan, are completely different levels of opponents!
If you still use the same methods you used against the Bai family to deal with the Jin family, you might not be enough!"
"Alright, I understand..."
As Ling Tian spoke, he walked out of the room, got into the black Wuling Hongguang he had bought, and drove directly to the Wang family mansion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the reception room was tense. The Jin family members appeared to be seeking an explanation, directly demanding that they hand over Ling Tian.
Old Master Wang secretly gave Uncle Yi a look, and only then did he quickly alert Ling Tian.
Ling Tian walked into the reception room without hesitation, first paid his respects to his grandfather, and then sat down at the table with great swagger.
Jin Tianxiang frowned at the side. This young man actually had such audacity. Was this his youthful recklessness, completely disregarding the Jin family, or did he have some extraordinary backing and reliance?
"Ling Tian, you have such great courage. Do you know that you have committed a crime!"
The one speaking was Jin Peng. Seeing Ling Tian, he was filled with anger and decided to accuse Ling Tian regardless of whether he admitted it or not.
"Who are you?" Ling Tian said dismissively.
"You... you don't even recognize your grandfather!"
"My grandfather is sitting here, who do you think you are!" Ling Tian directly pointed at Old Master Wang.
"I think you are courting death!" Jin Peng said, and with a palm strike, he lunged at Ling Tian.
However, his hand only extended halfway before he retracted it.
This was because Jin Peng suddenly saw a silver needle appear directly in the path of his moving palm.
This was the thickest and longest three-edged silver needle, mainly used for draining and bloodletting for patients!
He hadn't even clearly seen how Ling Tian had produced the silver needle, but being able to test that Ling Tian possessed formidable martial arts was enough!
"It really is you!"
"Are you sick? Are you a dog, biting people randomly!
Oh, and you dare to come to my doorstep. I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Ling Tian said sternly.
"What score do you want to settle with me?"
"What do you think? Our family's numerous billboards were destroyed by your subordinates. Don't think they did it secretly; we've investigated this matter thoroughly!"
"So, you held a grudge and raided our family's treasury?" Jin Peng questioned.
"Are you sick? What treasury? Are you speaking human language? Do you think everyone is as petty and vengeful as your Jin family?
Our Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry makes hundreds of millions in profit a day. I can just lie down and count money. Why would I be so bored as to rob your family's treasury?"
"This..."
