The shabby old book was full of traces of time.
The small characters "Nai Qi Jue" were written on the cover.
Yan Dongxu was puzzled and curiously asked, "You're not going to teach me this, are you?"
Zhou Quan gently nodded his head and turned the book open.
"Don't underestimate this stuff. I didn't believe it at first either, but guess what happened later?"
"What happened?" Yan Dongxu asked with wide open eyes.
"After I learned it, I became a celestial master."
"My horizons and abilities now are beyond what you ordinary mortals can imagine,"
Zhou Quan said arrogantly.
"Oh? Are you more powerful than superhumans now?"
Yan Dongxu didn't believe Zhou Quan's nonsense.
"Superhumans? That's what you call them."
"We call them Innate Spiritual Root."
"I can't explain all the profound principles to you right now."
"Anyway, just learn it, and when you really get to that level, you'll thank me."
Zhou Quan was too lazy to explain. If he started from the beginning, it would take him a month.
"Can I learn it?"
Yan Dongxu doubted.
He had heard how difficult it was to cultivate. He was afraid he didn't have the aptitude.
"If I can do it, you definitely can too."
Zhou Quan grinned and kicked off from the ground, jumping up into the air.
"Holy crap! How did you do that? Do you have superpowers too?"
Yan Dongxu was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.
Because Zhou Quan didn't fall back down after jumping up, but kept floating in the air, and could even move around in midair.
This was flying!
"I told you, superpowers is what you call them."
"As long as you fully understand the Nai Qi Jue, controlling fire or water superpowers will be a piece of cake."
Zhou Quan moved his fingers slightly, and the water in the cup floated up into the air, circling around his fingers.
"Wow, you're awesome!"
Yan Dongxu exclaimed in disbelief. His eyes were really opened today.
He had seen Lin Xia manipulate water powers before, but didn't expect Zhou Quan could do it too.
"What do you think, want to learn now?"
"Of course! Teach me quick!"
Yan Dongxu couldn't wait.
Zhou Quan slowly descended and began explaining to him.
"You can understand the current world as the return of spiritual energy."
"Superhumans are people with extremely strong Innate Spiritual Roots. With just a little bit of spiritual energy, they will awaken."
"After awakening, they can control powers of the corresponding attributes of their spiritual roots."
"And through practice, their control becomes more skilled, and their powers become greater and greater."
"Not to boast, but the Superhuman Headquarters wanted to invite me to be an elder."
"But Longhu Mountain had too many messy affairs, and I was too busy."
"Besides, with our family situation, we don't need the Superhuman Headquarters' salary, right?"
Yan Dongxu nodded, understanding why superpowers exist.
"Alright, stop showing off. Hurry up and teach me how to breathe."
Zhou Quan would go off topic after talking a bit, making him very annoyed.
"I've seen your abilities in the news. I suspect you have a rare spatial spiritual root."
"But I'm not sure. Whatever, I'll just teach you the basics first."
Zhou Quan taught him breathing techniques.
Under his patient guidance, Yan Dongxu quickly got on the right track.
After two hours passed, he almost fell asleep.
"Are you messing with me? I don't feel anything at all?"
"When can I complete the so-called Great Heavenly Cycle?"
Yan Dongxu angrily rolled his eyes. Sitting cross-legged for two hours made his waist and legs sore.
"Bro, it's only been two hours and you expect to see results?"
"You can't even complete a Small Meridian Cycle yet."
"It would be a miracle if I could get you to complete a Great Heavenly Cycle in a day!"
"It took me a whole year at Longhu Mountain to complete a Great Heavenly Cycle."
"You need to change your mentality. Don't be impatient and expect immediate rewards for everything you do."
Zhou Quan lectured him for a bit, really taking on the air of a master.
If Yan Dongxu hadn't witnessed Zhou Quan's unbelievable abilities with his own eyes, he would've given up long ago.
He might even have punched him a couple times to vent his anger.
Zhou Quan put his hands on Yan Dongxu's back, using his own energy to guide him.
It greatly enhanced Yan Dongxu's perception.
Time passed unknowingly until they were called for dinner.
"Alright, that's it for today. Keep meditating and breathing whenever you have time."
"One day you will eventually accomplish what I have," Zhou Quan said as he got up.
Yan Dongxu felt very refreshed now.
Zhou Quan's methods seemed to really work.
The two went to eat dinner.
At dinner, Yan Dongxu toasted Uncle and Auntie, as well as clinking glasses with Zhou Quan and Liu Yiyi.
Celebrating Zhou Quan's return from the mountains and reunion with his brother and sister.
"Dongxu, there's something I want to ask your help with," Zhou Uncle said.
"Oh? Uncle, just tell me what you need."
Yan Dongxu was very surprised, curious what matter Zhou Uncle would need his help with.
"You know I'm an investor. I have countless companies under me, can't even count them all."
"Just now my secretary called saying there's some trouble with the media company I invested in."
"They want me to use my connections to resolve it. After hearing it, I realized it involved you."
"I thought, this is not washing your dirty linen in public. Why don't we recognize our own family?"
"You know Xu Yiyi right? She's an artist under the media company I invested in."
"They want to contact you to help clear Xu Yiyi's name, and do livestreams or variety shows together."
"But there's been no response from you. They want me to find someone to reach out to you. When I heard, I thought what a laughable situation, you're my nephew!"
After Zhou Uncle finished, Yan Dongxu was so shocked he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, don't say anything more. I'll take care of Xu Yiyi's matter. I'll have someone contact the media company right away."
Yan Dongxu didn't expect Zhou Uncle's investment portfolio to be so huge that Xu Yiyi's company turned out to be invested by Zhou Uncle.
Although Zhou Uncle was the biggest shareholder, he didn't participate in company management, just playing the behind-the-scenes boss role.
With Xu Yiyi's incident shaking the foundation of the media company, they had to report to the big boss. That's how it reached Zhou Uncle's ears.
"Good good good, tomorrow I'll have the media company host a banquet, and I'll attend too. You have to show up!" Zhou Uncle said with a laugh.
Yan Dongxu immediately stood up and clinked glasses with Zhou Uncle.
"Uncle, what are you saying? I'm honored. Let me toast you. When my family ran into troubles, it was all handled by you. And the one who sponsored my schooling was you too, right? I know it all in my heart. Let me toast you again."
Yan Dongxu ate very happily at dinner. They drank until 9 PM before ending on a delightful note.
He didn't stream tonight, and left a message on his stream explaining he was taking a day off.
The audience was unhappy but he really had no time today.
Since he drank alcohol, Zhou Uncle insisted he stay over no matter what.
Yan Dongxu had no choice but to spend the night there.
His sister and Dou Dou slept in the kids' room, while Yan Dongxu got his own room.
Zhou Quan and Liu Yueyue rekindled their passion of reunion after long separation.
Yan Dongxu's desire to find a girlfriend grew even stronger.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
