Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious. I was just thinking … in the future, can you not call me Grand Uncle in front of outsiders? This … is a bit too scary! "
Li Yifu was stunned for a moment and said, "But … you are my Grand Uncle! How could disciple dare to disrespect Martial Granduncle … "
"Stop, stop!" Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that I'm not your Grand Uncle. I said that in the presence of outsiders, you have to change the way you address me. I don't want others to think of me as an old monster …"
Li Yifu wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to disobey Grand Uncle's orders. In the end, he could only ask reluctantly, "Grand Uncle, how should I address you?"
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "In the future, when there are outsiders, you can call me Mr. Xia!"
The term "Mr." could be used as a form of social politeness, but it could also be used as a form of respect. It wouldn't be particularly abrupt outside. Li Yifu thought about it and felt that it was acceptable. He nodded and said, "Yes, Grand Uncle. I will remember!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. Fortunately, this grand-disciple wasn't too old-fashioned. If he insisted on not agreeing, he really couldn't do anything to him.
Scold him with a straight face? He would kneel down and beg for forgiveness in minutes.
Xia Ruofei said, "It's getting late. Brother Tang, arrange rooms for us and let's all go to rest! By the way, help me find a quiet room. I want to guide Haoran's cultivation. "
Li Yifu couldn't help but show an envious expression when he heard this.
Xia Ruofei only gave him a few words of advice, and he broke through the bottleneck that had troubled him for decades. Tang Haoran often received guidance from Xia Ruofei. No wonder his cultivation progressed so quickly.
Li Yifu wanted to go and listen to Xia Ruofei's guidance, but he also knew that this was a very taboo matter. Since Grand Martial Uncle didn't take the initiative to bring him along, then he shouldn't even mention it.
Therefore, Li Yifu could only watch enviously as Xia Ruofei led Tang Haoran to the tea room.
Tang Yitian quickly instructed the servants to arrange a guest room for everyone.
Li Yifu gradually calmed down and continued to consolidate his cultivation base in the guest room.
Today's experience made everyone feel like their brains weren't working properly. Tang Yitian and his wife were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all. They were all whispering about Tang Haoran. To have a master like Xia Ruofei was definitely Tang Haoran's blessing from his past life. Xu Ziyuan was also shocked by the amount of information he received today and his mind was in a state of excitement. As for Feng Jing, her mind was filled with questions. She could only wait until she had a chance to be alone with Xia Ruofei to ask …
Xia Ruofei led Tang Haoran into the tearoom.
Tang Hao said, "Ah! Master, that crystal is still in my father's safe! Please wait a moment, I'll go get it from my father first! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Don't bother! Just use this one first … "
After saying that, Xia Ruofei put his hand into his trouser pocket and took out the spirit crystal that he usually used for cultivation. It still had a lot of spiritual energy left and handed it to Tang Haoran.
Tang Haoran grinned and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Xia Ruofei led Tang Haoran to sit cross-legged on the tatami and then said, "Haoran, take this spirit crystal and start cultivating now. Just like usual, don't think about anything in your mind. Breaking through will naturally happen when the conditions are right!"
Tang Haoran said seriously, "I'll remember it, Master!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and patted Tang Haoran's head. He said, "Let's begin! I'll be by your side to protect you. Don't worry about breaking through! "
Tang Haoran nodded heavily. Holding the spirit crystal in his hand, he quickly entered a state of cultivation. Xia Ruofei sat cross-legged next to him and calmly observed his situation.
There was no doubt about Tang Haoran's talent, especially the pure Yang attribute cultivation method, which was especially suitable for his physique. Now that he had the spirit crystals, which were an almost inexhaustible source of spiritual qi for him at his current stage, his cultivation was naturally twice the result with half the effort.
Time passed by minute by minute. After about two hours, Xia Ruofei's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and looked at Tang Haoran.
Xia Ruofei had already sensed an obvious change in Tang Haoran's aura, which was the precursor to a breakthrough.
Tang Haoran, who was immersed in cultivation, did not notice anything and continued to circulate the cultivation method over and over again.
After another ten minutes, the True Qi in Tang Haoran's body seemed to be active all of a sudden. Tang Haoran, who was in a state of cultivation, could not help but show some pain on his small face. His body even swayed slightly, but soon stabilized.
"Concentrate on your spirit and qi, break through with all your strength!" Xia Ruofei's steady voice sounded in Tang Haoran's ears, which calmed Tang Haoran's somewhat unstable state of mind.
He steadily controlled his True Qi to break through the bottleneck over and over again. Until a certain moment, there seemed to be a slight cracking sound, and then he suddenly felt a burst of clarity.
In the past, his True Qi seemed to be moving forward in a narrow waterway. Now, it was as if he had suddenly arrived in a wide canal. The thick True Qi accumulated in his dantian was suddenly released and began to rapidly circulate in his meridians.
Xia Ruofei had been using his mental power to observe Tang Haoran's situation. Seeing this scene, his heart was slightly relieved. He secretly said, "It's done!"
The bottleneck of the first level of Qi Disciple was easily broken through by Tang Haoran.
"Don't stop, continue to cultivate and consolidate your cultivation!" Xia Ruofei's voice sounded again.
Tang Haoran nodded slightly and continued to cultivate without any distractions. After the breakthrough, the total amount of True Qi had increased by a lot. In contrast, his control over True Qi had decreased a little. However, this was a normal phenomenon during a breakthrough. As he continued to control True Qi according to the heart sutra, the slightly berserk True Qi quickly calmed down.
Over and over again, the True Qi in Tang Haoran's body became more and more obedient. Because of the breakthrough, the meridians that had widened a lot were also quickly consolidated with each cycle.
At around midnight, Tang Haoran's realm finally stabilized and smoothly entered the second level of Qi Disciple.
He opened his eyes. The first thing that entered his vision was Xia Ruofei's gratified smile.
Xia Ruofei patted Tang Haoran's head and said, "Little guy, well done! Tonight's cultivation will end here. Now go and rest. Tomorrow, Master will teach you the second level of the heart sutra! "
The heart sutra that Xia Ruofei chose for Tang Haoran, "Blazing Sun Scripture", could completely support his cultivation until he successfully reached Foundation Establishment. In the Qi Disciple stage, it was the most suitable heart sutra. Moreover, each level corresponded to a different heart sutra. Previously, Xia Ruofei only taught Tang Haoran the first level of the heart sutra because he was worried that the child's temperament was still unstable and that he would bite off more than he could chew.
Now that Tang Haoran had broken through to the second level of Qi Disciple, the first level of the heart sutra had been cultivated to perfection. If he continued to cultivate with the first level of the heart sutra, the efficiency would be much lower. Therefore, it was time to teach him the corresponding second level of the heart sutra.
When Tang Haoran heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He said, "Master, I'm not sleepy at all right now. I feel like my whole body is full of energy. Teach me now!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and scratched his nose. He said, "Even if you're not tired, Master is!"
Tang Haoran stuck out his tongue. His face was full of disbelief. In his eyes, Master was a celestial being. How could he be tired so easily?
After Xia Ruofei made a joke, he said seriously, "Haoran, Master has said more than once that cultivation should be done step by step. You can't have the slightest bit of impatience! One tension and one relaxation is the way of the civil and martial arts. Today, you just broke through and consolidated your cultivation. Your body and mind are actually in a very tired state. It's just that you don't realize it. Now, the only thing you need to do is to rest well and conserve your energy! It's the same for your cultivation in the future. Although I gave you the spirit crystal, I hope you can remember what I said before. It's best not to cultivate for more than four hours a day, which is four hours. I don't want you to waste your cultivation because you're in a hurry to succeed. That would be a waste of your good talent! "
Tang Haoran hurriedly said, "Master, I'll remember! Don't worry, I'll definitely be obedient! I'll go rest now! "
After saying that, he hurriedly returned the spirit crystal to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. The master and disciple walked out of the tearoom together.
Although Tang Yitian went to rest, he still arranged for a servant to wait at the entrance of the tearoom. When the servant saw the two of them come out, he hurriedly greeted them and led Xia Ruofei to the guest room that had already been prepared to rest. Tang Haoran, on the other hand, went back to his own room with ease.
…
The next morning, Xia Ruofei got up and cultivated for about an hour. Then, he got up and went to wash up.
Now that his cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough, Xia Ruofei didn't relax at all during this period of time. He was just waiting for the right opportunity to officially enter the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.
At that time, if Song Wei could break through again, he should be very confident in dealing with the remaining peach blossom miasma.
After washing up, Xia Ruofei changed his clothes and prepared to go out for breakfast.
As soon as he opened the door, Xia Ruofei was shocked — Li Yifu was standing respectfully at his door.
"Good morning, Uncle-Master!" Li Yifu bowed respectfully to Xia Ruofei and said.
"Yifu, what are you doing?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but ask.
Li Yifu showed a matter-of-fact expression and said, "Uncle-Master, this disciple is here to pay his respects to you!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "There's no need for that! Yifu, times are different now. I'm a very casual person. I'm really not used to you waiting at the door to pay your respects to me every morning … "
Xia Ruofei's seniority was so high, and his cultivation was much higher than Li Yifu's. In Li Yifu's view, this was the most basic etiquette. When he heard this, he showed a trace of embarrassment and said, "Uncle-Master, you're an elder of the sect. This etiquette can't be ignored!"
Xia Ruofei glared and pretended to be angry. "My words don't count, right? Fine, then I'll order you in the name of Uncle-Master. Go back to America today! Don't annoy me all day long … "
Li Yifu was so shocked that he almost knelt down directly. He quickly apologized and said, "Uncle-Master, this disciple knows his mistake! Please punish me, Uncle-Master! No matter what, please don't expel this disciple. Let this disciple serve you … "
When Xia Ruofei saw Li Yifu's fearful expression, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He said, "Forget it, forget it. Yifu, you're good at everything, but you have too many rules and are too old-fashioned …"
Halfway through his words, Xia Ruofei suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask, "What did you just say? Serve you? Don't tell me you're not leaving! "
Li Yifu quickly said, "Uncle-Master, it wasn't easy for this disciple to find a sect, and you're the head of the sect. Of course, this disciple has to follow Uncle-Master!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have a headache. He could endure it for one or two days, but if there was an old man with a white beard following him every day and kneeling down to beg for forgiveness, then what was the point of living?
He quickly said warmly, "Yifu, there's no need for this, right? You have your own business and life in America. Besides, communication is so advanced now. If there's anything, you can get in touch with a phone call! "
Xia Ruofei really didn't understand the fanatical obsession of the older generation for their sect and clan. He didn't know that he had even become Li Yifu's spiritual sustenance. This was something that Li Jiuzhou couldn't forget until he died! Now that he had finally "caught" Uncle-Master, of course, he had to follow him closely. Otherwise, what if he ran away?
Li Yifu said stubbornly, "Uncle-Master, the business is just a worldly possession. Besides, it's now taken care of by the younger generation of the family. I rarely get involved in the family affairs. Uncle-Master, please let this disciple serve you! This disciple also wants to listen to Uncle-Master's teachings at any time! "
Xia Ruofei flatly refused, "Yifu, I'm telling you, this is not negotiable! I still have my own life! If you have any questions in your cultivation, you can ask me, but you can't follow me all day! "
Li Yifu didn't expect Xia Ruofei's attitude to be so firm. He was naturally very disappointed, but he didn't dare to disobey Uncle-Master's orders. He could only sigh secretly and say respectfully, "Yes, this disciple obeys!"
Xia Ruofei also secretly rejoiced that Uncle-Master's majesty still had some effect. He didn't have to bring an old burden with him, otherwise, he would really go crazy.
"Let's go! Let's go eat breakfast! "Xia Ruofei said.
Tang Yitian and the others had already woken up and knew that Li Yifu was waiting at the door of Xia Ruofei's room. However, Li Yifu's seniority was too high, so they didn't dare to persuade him.
At this time, when he saw Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu coming over one after another, Tang Yitian immediately arranged for everyone to eat breakfast.
Naturally, the breakfast was also very sumptuous. It was all carefully cooked by Tang Yitian's private chef. There were many choices of Western and Chinese dishes.
Compared to the exquisite pastries, Xia Ruofei preferred the Chinese breakfast of steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.
He held a fried dough stick in one hand, soaked it in the soy milk, and took a big bite. He chewed and asked with a smile, "Brother Tang, what's the plan for today? It's Sister Jing's first time in Sydney! "
Tang Yitian said with a smile, "Then I'll accompany you to stroll around Sydney! The scenery here is pretty good! "
Originally, Tang Yitian wanted Jennifer to accompany them. Their relationship with Xia Ruofei was so close, so it wouldn't be a problem for Jennifer to accompany them personally. However, now that Li Yifu was here, Tang Yitian changed his mind. He put aside the company's matters and accompanied them personally for the next two days.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sister Jing, then you can think about where you want to go and just tell Brother Tang!"
Feng Jing said with a little embarrassment, "I'm fine with anything! If possible, I want to go back to China earlier! This trip is too long, and the company is a little worried … "
Tang Yitian said with a smile, "Manager Feng is a standard example of a strong woman!"
At this time, Xia Ruofei's phone rang. Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "I'm sorry! I'll take this call … "
After that, he took the phone and walked to the side. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a Sydney landline number.
Xia Ruofei muttered in his heart, but still pressed the answer button.
"Hello!" Xia Ruofei said in English.
On the other end of the phone was a sweet female voice, also in English, "Hello, is this Mr. Xia Ruofei?"
"I am. Who is this?" Xia Ruofei asked.
