Chapter 387: Chapter 379: Cai Xian’s Promotion_1

Under the ancient banyan tree, Qin Niu was vigorously cultivating together with his wife, concubines, and the maidservant Xiao Qing.

Tang Caixian, cultivating the Dragon Elephant Skill, revealed an astonishing talent, which greatly surprised Qin Niu. Her level of cultivation was improving almost one step with each day, comparable to when Qin Niu himself cultivated the Everlasting Spring Technique under the ancient banyan tree.

Qin Niu had top-tier talent in cultivating life-preserving techniques.

That meant Tang Caixian was very suitable for cultivating combat techniques like the Dragon Elephant Art.

By comparison, Wang Wanyan’s talent for cultivating the Dragon Elephant Skill seemed to be much inferior.

Her pace of advancement in cultivation was clearly much slower than Tang Caixian’s.

Three days ago, Tang Caixian had already reached the Tenfold Mortal Realm, and now she was at the peak of the Mortal Realm, challenging the Acquired Realm.

But Wang Wanyan was only at the Eightfold Mortal Realm.

In the path of cultivation, talent is indeed very important.

Like when cultivating the Medicine King Sutra, Qin Niu reached the Acquired Realm and only formed a single cauldron within himself. Xiao Qing, with better talent, formed two medicine cauldrons.

At this moment, Tang Caixian let out a slightly pained grunt.

Qin Niu was startled and quickly ceased his practice, opening his eyes to check on her condition.

Wang Wanyan had also stopped cultivating, standing up and walking over to Tang Caixian, her eyes full of concern.

“Wanyan, don’t touch her! Do not disturb her!”

Qin Niu hastily stopped his wife.

Seeing his wife and concubine getting along harmoniously and having good affection for each other, he was very pleased.

But when it comes to breaking through realms in cultivation, one can only rely on oneself.

Others, even if they wish to help, cannot provide much assistance.

Qin Niu, as someone who had experienced it before, had relatively rich experience in cultivation. Tang Caixian was currently challenging the Acquired Realm, and not disturbing her or letting her challenge the new realm on her own, was the best help he could offer her.

“She seems to be in a lot of pain, will she be alright?”

Wang Wanyan asked worriedly.

“Breaking through to a new realm is a difficult and dangerous endeavor. You too will experience it in the not-too-distant future. One can only break through it with perseverance, determination, and wisdom.”

Qin Niu shared some of his cultivation experiences with her.

After all, as an Innate Realm powerhouse, being her teacher is definitely not a problem.

“You continue cultivating! I will watch over her,” Qin Niu told Wang Wanyan.

As time swiftly passed, the energy surrounding Tang Caixian’s body violently surged like enraged waves.

Her body twisted non-stop in response.

Sounds of cracking bones came from her skeleton.

Fortunately, she had trained in song and dance, and her body was extremely supple.

Things like splits and back bends were nothing more than child’s play to her.

Having taken her as his wife, Qin Niu certainly enjoyed all the happiness a man could desire.

As she kept assaulting the Acquired Realm, the extent of her body’s contortions grew bigger. It was worrying that she might twist her neck or the bones in other parts of her body.

With each severe contortion of her body, she would reveal a pained expression and let out a muffled groan.

Gradually, Qin Niu noticed that the energy around her body took on the shape of a snake, like a fluttering ribbon, constantly twisting. This snake-shaped energy stood vertically, over ten meters tall and nearly one and a half meters in diameter.

It was incredibly astonishing.

And her body moved along with the snake-shaped energy, slowly forming a tacit harmony with it.

Could this also lead to breaking through the barrier?

Just as Qin Niu was somewhat puzzled, finding it hard to believe she was on the right track, a magical scene unfolded.

He saw that with every sway of her body, the snake-shaped energy around Tang Caixian was quickly diminishing.

“`

Carefully examining, he realized that the serpentine energy had been absorbed by her body.

“Snakes have their paths, rats have their ways! It seems each cultivation technique requires a different method of practice,”

Qin Niu had indeed broadened his horizons.

He estimated that once she completely absorbed the serpentine energy, she would have successfully broken through to the Acquired Realm.

As expected, after nearly more than an hour had passed, Tang Caixian’s cultivation neared its end. She had absorbed all of the serpentine energy little by little, and her momentum had risen step by step.

When her momentum reached its peak, it began to recede.

Another half hour later, she slowly ended her cultivation and opened her eyes.

The bright light in her eyes sparkled, and a delighted smile bloomed on her charming face.

“Ah Niu brother, I made it! I’ve successfully broken through to the Acquired Realm!”

She leaped up and hugged Qin Niu tightly.

In her heart, cultivation wasn’t about becoming stronger but about reducing the lifespan gap with the man she deeply loved, striving to accompany him longer.

“Hehe, you’re amazing! Keep it up, I believe that you will definitely advance to the Innate Realm in the near future,”

Qin Niu embraced her in return, encouraging her to strive for the next great realm.

“I will. I’ll definitely continue to practice diligently, striving to reach the Innate Realm as soon as possible.”

She was still immersed in the joy of having just made a major breakthrough and was full of confidence in the future.

“Cai Xian, congratulations!”

Wang Wanyan had also completed her practice and approached.

Her cultivation level had just broken through to the ninth level of the Mortal Realm.

She was probably greatly stimulated and was doggedly catching up.

“Thank you! I believe you’ll break through to the Acquired Realm very soon as well.”

“Ah, among the three of us, my talent is the worst. I have some confidence in reaching the Acquired Realm, but when it comes to the Innate Realm, I’m worried that I won’t be able to keep up with you two and will become a burden.”

Wang Wanyan said with some self-deprecation.

“Wan Yan sister, you mustn’t think like that. We are a family, and no matter who enters the Immortal Warrior Realm first, we won’t leave the other two behind. We will all help each other, pursuing true longevity. I believe that as long as we work together, we will eventually succeed,”

Tang Caixian took Wang Wanyan’s hand, comforting her.

Qin Niu then hugged both of them, one on each side. “Cai Xian is right, we’re a family, and as long as we stand united, we will one day achieve true longevity. Everyone has different talents. I excel at cultivating life-preserving techniques, Xiao Qing excels at practicing the Medicine King Sutra, and Cai Xian excels at the Dragon Elephant Art.

Your current slow progress in cultivation could be because the technique doesn’t match your talent or possibly that you’re a late bloomer who will start excelling later on.”

Qin Niu believed Wang Wanyan’s talent couldn’t be poor.

The sky was turning dark, the branches and leaves of the ancient banyan tree began to droop, and strands of yin-cold energy continuously fell.

He led the three women out of the labyrinth.

“The three of you go back first! I still need to feed the insects,”

Qin Niu told them.

“Then you be careful and come home early for dinner.”

“Okay!”

Qin Niu waved his hand, watching as his wives and Xiao Qing left together.

He had now purchased the entire back mountain, which belonged to his private property. He had specially opened two shortcuts leading into the mountain, both reaching directly to the backyard of his home.

Since Xiao Qing and Cai Xian had both advanced to the Acquired Realm, he was not worried about their safety.

In the outer areas of the mountains, there were almost no wild beasts that could threaten the three of them.

Unless there were demon beasts or demon birds.

Those beings were exceptionally rare, residing deep within the mountains and unlikely to come out easily.

Besides, Qin Niu had already established quite a few ‘informants’ in this mountain territory, so if there were any unusual movements, he would be able to discover them in time.
