The Cultivation of the Many

In the middle of the night, Qin Ning, who was still cultivating, heard a noise.

Qin Fei sneezed and woke up.

"Are you cold?" Qin Ning asked.

"A little."

Qin Fei nodded, rubbing her eyes. "The air conditioning is up too high."

Saying that, she crawled over to Qin Ning's side and slipped under his covers. "Brother, you should sleep too. Stop cultivating for now."

"Alright."

Qin Ning smiled and lay down. Qin Fei immediately snuggled up against him, hugging his arm, and quickly fell asleep.

...

Over the next few days.

The two of them took Tang Zhengwei and Sun Qiuqiong to visit all the scenic spots in Shuishan City.

On the fifth day, the trip came to an end, and Qin Ning directly flew the three of them back to Xin'an Town.

It had to be said that with the help of Wang Er and his people, the construction in Xin'an Town was progressing very quickly. One after another, many construction teams had already arrived with heavy machinery.

The townsfolk had all heard about these developments. Now, after finishing their farm work for the day, many people would come over in their free time to watch the bustling scene.

Villagers from various villages who understood civil construction were also recruited to participate in the upcoming series of building projects.

For them, not only did it help subsidize their household expenses with a very impressive salary, but they could also take part in building up their hometown. Almost no one was unwilling.

And what everyone looked forward to the most was the construction of the factories.

It was said that once these factories were built, they would provide at least several thousands to tens of thousands of jobs. The wages wouldn't be low either, at least matching those in major cities.

This meant that in the future, it was highly likely that many young people wouldn't need to leave town for work anymore. They could find jobs right there in town and stay with their families.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

Upon returning to the village, Dahuang barked a few times from the courtyard, then ran out excitedly, wagging its tail vigorously around Qin Ning and the others.

Wang Er and his group also drove over, planning to have a meal here before returning to Liushi.

"Are my brother and sister-in-law not coming back?"

In the courtyard, as Xia Fei and the others brought the dishes to the table, Qin Fei asked curiously.

Cai Cheng replied, "Sister-in-law is about to give birth, so she checked into the hospital early. Brother Tang is staying at the hospital to accompany her."

"The hospital in town?" Qin Fei asked, seemingly a bit worried.

Qin Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry. I gave sister-in-law a jade pendant to keep her safe. Nothing will go wrong."

"That's good." Hearing this, Qin Fei finally smiled.

Soon, they sat down to eat with Tang Zhengwei and Sun Qiuqiong.

Qin Ning turned to Wang Er and said, "You'll still need to follow up on the subsequent construction. You don't have to stay here all the time; just come over to check on things occasionally. Remember to find someone reliable to stay here and keep watch."

"Understood, Young Master Qin." Wang Er nodded earnestly.

By the time they finished eating, it was already noon.

After formally bidding farewell to their parents, under their watchful eyes, Qin Ning took the others and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing into the distant horizon.

Two minutes later.

Liushi.

Qin Ning and the others arrived back here.

Zhou Ping'an, Cheng Weiyang, and the rest knew that Qin Ning's group was returning today, so they waited at home in advance and didn't go anywhere.

Qin Ning inspected everyone's cultivation progress one by one and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. At this rate, in two or three years at most, you should all be able to break through the bottlenecks of the Body Refining Realm and step into the Pulse Condensation Realm."

Hearing this, joy appeared on everyone's faces. Zhong Mingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Qin, does that mean once we reach the Pulse Condensation Realm, we'll be able to release our spiritual energy externally?"

Qin Ning nodded slightly.

Liu Silin looked expectant. "Doesn't that mean we'll be able to shoot out a burst of qi with our bare hands that rivals the power of a bullet?"

"There's still a bit of a difference. In the early stages of the Pulse Condensation Realm, the intensity of your spiritual energy isn't enough, so the power won't quite reach the level of a bullet. However, it should have about half that power. If you want it to truly rival a bullet, you'll need to reach at least the sixth or seventh layer of the Pulse Condensation Realm or higher," Qin Ning explained.

"Hehe, having half the power of a bullet is already awesome enough." Everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

"If we can release spiritual energy externally in the Pulse Condensation Realm, does that mean we can fly?" Richard couldn't help but ask.

Xia Fei said, "Didn't you hear Young Master Qin say it before? If you want to fly, you have to at least reach the Spirit Transformation Realm, which is above the Pulse Condensation Realm."

Qin Ning added, "The spiritual energy intensity in the Pulse Condensation Realm isn't enough to support something like flight. However, if you concentrate your spiritual energy under the soles of your feet and leap with all your might as you release it, it should at least let you jump as high as a dozen-story building."

"Then what about coming down?"

Cai Cheng asked seriously, "If we jump over a dozen meters high but can't stay in the air, wouldn't we fall to our deaths?"

"You wouldn't fall to your death. With the physical strength of the Pulse Condensation Realm, falling from a dozen stories would only result in minor injuries. Besides, during the descent, if you continuously release spiritual energy from the soles of your feet a few times, it can act as a great buffer, allowing you to land effortlessly."

"Of course, as for the specific execution, you'll know once you actually reach the Pulse Condensation Realm and try it yourselves."

Afterward, Qin Ning gave Wang Er and the others some individual pointers and let them go cultivate on their own.

He stayed with Qin Fei, Jiang Yanran, and the others in the living room to watch TV for a while.

In the afternoon, Qin Ning finally stood up, walked outside the villa alone, and then flew in the direction of the capital.

About a few minutes later.

In a traditional courtyard house in the capital, Qin Ning descended.

Elder Zeng and Elder Liu had received his call not long ago. Knowing that Qin Ning was coming, they had someone prepare wine and food early on.

"Uncle Wang is here too."

At the doorway, Wang Yousheng stood there with his back perfectly straight.

Ever since Jiang Yunshan came over, he rarely stayed at the cultivation base anymore. Most of the time, he stayed by Elder Zeng's side, responsible for protecting his safety.

Moreover, this didn't have much of a negative impact on Wang Yousheng's cultivation.

"Young Master Qin."

Seeing Qin Ning approach, Wang Yousheng quickly came forward to greet him.

"Not bad, you're already at the third layer of the Body Refining Realm." Qin Ning looked at him and smiled with a compliment.

It was worth noting that the cultivation base was nothing like the villa where Xia Fei and the others lived; Qin Ning hadn't improved the environment there. For Wang Yousheng to reach the third layer of the Body Refining Realm so quickly was already quite an impressive feat.

What's more, such a cultivation level completely exceeded the physical limits of ordinary humans.

After all, previously, Jiang Yunshan hadn't even reached the first layer of the Body Refining Realm, yet he was already hailed as a leading authority in the domestic martial arts world. One could imagine that Wang Yousheng, having reached the third layer of Body Refining, was already an existence that defied common sense in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Haha, you kid are really punctual. Hurry and come inside. The food was just prepared; don't let it get cold," Elder Zeng and Elder Liu, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the commotion outside and walked out, smiling as they welcomed Qin Ning into the house.
