I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Meng pulled Xue Jing left and right, and they soon arrived in front of a room.

Looking at the sign above the door that read "Heart-Nourishing Room", Xue Jing's mouth twitched. He stepped forward, reached for the doorknob, and opened the door.

In the room, which was laid out similarly to the old dojo's Heart-Nourishing Room, Li Qi sat in a wheelchair with a rosewood desk in front of him, shaking his head as he read a scroll.

Having not seen him for nearly a month, Xue Jing noticed that Li Qi's previously bald head seemed to have sprouted many sparse hairs, and his withered appearance seemed more vibrant. Now wearing reading glasses, he looked five or six years younger than before.

"... Master, why is there a sign only on the Heart-Nourishing Room?"

Xue Jing asked as he walked toward Li Qi.

If there had been a sign at the door earlier indicating that it was Meng's cultivation room, he wouldn't have rashly opened the door...

Triggering such a classic lucky pervert incident seemed lucky but was actually quite troublesome. Fortunately, Meng treated him like a child and didn't mind much.

"Hmm? Little Jing, you're back."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Qi looked up at Xue Jing, chuckled, and wheeled himself over to Xue Jing.

"The signs for your direct disciples' cultivation rooms are still being made... What's up, anything happened?"

Li Qi took off his reading glasses, his aged, cloudy eyes shifting back and forth between Xue Jing and Meng Qingjiao.

Xue Jing remained composed, "Nothing much, just asking... By the way, master, when will the housewarming banquet be held?"

Li Qi didn't notice anything amiss with Xue Jing, but he caught Meng Qingjiao's cold eyes involuntarily dodging his gaze.

Although it was a subtle shift of her eyes, Li Qi, being extremely cunning, immediately sensed something.

His eyes flashed with understanding, and he chuckled knowingly, "Since you're back, let's find an auspicious day soon… Little Jing, you've really made your master proud this time."

Xue Jing smiled, "It's all thanks to your good training… Master, you look much younger, have you made some recent gains?"

Li Qi proudly brushed a few tufts of sparse hair on his head, "You noticed? I've been studying the Yellow Grannie Skill daily, and it's starting to bear fruit, like dead wood meeting spring... If there's anything you don't understand about the technique, just ask me."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up, "Now that you mention it, I do have a question. After reaching the Xiao Man stage, I've felt my progress slowing down. Master, do you have any tips?"

Li Qi was startled. Xiao Man?

He had just started learning it a few days ago, still far from "Xiao Man". How could he teach that?

He had thought that with his long study of Taoist learning and deep understanding of the Yellow Grannie Skill, he could handle even this monstrous disciple…

Li Qi coughed dryly, "In the martial arts of the Taoist Sect, it is essential to progress step by step, naturally. You must have the right mindset, avoid being impatient, and practice gradually."

Xue Jing smiled, "You're absolutely right, master."

Li Qi hummed a note, examining Xue Jing from head to toe, and nodded his head, extremely pleased.

His disciple was perfect in every way, almost unreal, with impeccable talent and temperament, always respectful to his teacher.

After winning the championship in a major U19 competition, his first words were to thank his master...

Li Qi felt that even if he were to lie down in a coffin right now, he would burst out laughing in the middle of the night.

As he mused, his gaze drifted to Meng Qingjiao, causing her to tilt her head slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Such a good disciple shouldn't be a catch for another family...

Li Qi looked contemplative.

Meng Qingjiao was almost raised by him from a young age, formally a mentor-student relationship, but in reality, she was like his own granddaughter.

Because of past events, Li Qi always felt remorseful toward her, lavishing affection on her like she was the apple of his eye, a treatment not afforded to other disciples… of course, now including Xue Jing.

The most cherished disciple and the favorite disciple; if these two joys could merge, wouldn't that bring even more happiness?

Thinking this, Li Qi began to fantasize about the idyllic family times he'd have in the future with the young couple honoring him...

'Seems promising...' Li Qi's eyes gleamed.

It wasn't very clear about Little Jing, but Qingjiao probably... As long as she was willing, there would be no man beyond her reach.

Li Qi was quite confident in his granddaughter's charm.

'Just feel a bit sorry for Girl Ning...'

Li Qi thought to himself.

However, he felt that for such a capable disciple, having a dozen or so women wasn't a big deal; he had been quite the playboy in his youth.

Li Qi was not a chauvinist, but he believed in the respect for the strong, thinking it natural for a capable person to own more resources.

If Xue Jing was a woman, he'd feel it was completely fine for his disciple to have a dozen men similarly.

"Little Jing."

Li Qi spoke to Xue Jing kindly.

"Hmm?" Xue Jing was puzzled.

"I've been thinking of having your fellow disciples start practicing the Yellow Grannie Skill to address the deficiency in our Hidden Dragon School's cultivation, but since the skill came from you, I still need to ask... What do you think?"

Li Qi asked.

"Of course there's no problem," Xue Jing replied, nodding, seeing no hesitation; it wasn't just about the Yellow Grannie Skill, he felt there was no need to keep any martial arts a secret from his peers.
