"" When Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were talking in the building,郝仁拿著資料來到趙焰紫的房間，陸琳琳和陸莉荷猶豫了一下也跟著走了進去。
正在埋頭做作業的趙焰紫回頭看到郝仁進來，“哼”了一聲。
"You only have half an hour for tutoring today. We'll focus on English." 郝仁拉過一把椅子，坐到趙焰紫旁邊，然後打開資料說道：“上次我們講了介詞to和for的用法。還有一些冇講完，你把筆記本翻出來找一找上次記到了哪裡。”
"I still have a pile of homework to do," 趙焰紫嘟起嘴。
"Today, we'll spend half an hour tutoring. You can delay your schoolwork by half an hour." 郝仁看著她說道。
趙焰紫咬著嘴唇，同樣看著郝仁。
兩人就這樣互相瞪視著。雖然不算凶狠，但就是這麼對峙起來了。
"We've already finished the exams, why do we still need to study" 幾秒鐘後，趙焰紫忍不住說道。
郝仁皺了皺眉，“Midterm exams are over, but there's still the final exams. After that, there will be the初三的考試，初三的考試考完，還有
"Stop it! Stop it!" 趙焰紫揮揮手，“你越來越囉嗦了！”
她被郝仁的囉嗦給嚇怕了，從抽屜裡拿出家教筆記翻到上次聽講的部分，“開始吧！”
郝仁無奈地笑了笑，看著手裡的資料，開始講解起來。“總的來說偏向於目的性”
趙焰紫打開桌子上的包裝，放一顆泡泡糖在嘴裡一邊嚼著一邊吹著，還一邊抄錄。
她鼓起的嘴巴彷彿代表某種不滿。這種心不在焉的樣子就好像是無視郝仁的努力。
"This English seems really difficult,"站在郝仁身後的陸莉莉輕聲對旁邊的陸琳琳說道。
"If you find it hard, let the young master find time to tutor you." 陸琳琳說道。
陸莉莉顯得受寵若驚，急忙擺手輕聲說，“這是小主母的特權，我哪敢讓公子給我補課。”
Heard their whispers, Hao Ren turned back and saw them still standing foolishly behind him. He said, "Find a place to sit down, no need to stand."
It was at this moment that Zhao Hongyu pushed the door open and waved towards her sisters, saying, "Lingling, Lily, come over to the next room. I've prepared your beds for you. Take a look and see if it suits you."
The gazes of Lu Lingling and Lu Lili turned towards Hao Ren, seeking his opinion.
"Go take a look and rest for a while. I'll tutor Ah Zi for half an hour, then we'll set off," said Hao Ren.
“Yes!” Both sisters nodded in unison, following Zhao Hongyu to the spare bedroom next door.
Seeing Lu Lingling and Lu Lili's graceful figures walking out, Zhao Yanzi's mouth was wide open in admiration. "Having two beauties follow you every day, how happy must that be"
"What’s up Are you jealous" Hao Ren asked her.
"Who would envy you!" Zhao Yanzi hit him with the tip of her pen.
Hao Ren caught her pen and held her delicate hand, pressing it back onto her notebook.
“Hmph!” Zhao Yanzi huffed but finally obediently listened to the lesson. After seeing a significant improvement in her midterm exam scores, she knew this uncle was quite competent as a tutor at least regarding explaining knowledge points clearly and providing clear examples.
The time ticked by. Wearing pink pajamas, Zhao Yanzi looked delicate and cute. Strands of hair hung down from both sides of her cheeks while her bright eyes sparkled like diamonds. Pouting her lips, she wasn't sure whether it was out of anger or seriousness.
"Ren, we're almost done!" Zhao Guang knocked on the door from outside.
“Alright!” Hao Ren replied and closed the materials, saying to Zhao Yanzi, "That's all for today. The usage of 'wa' is clear now. This knowledge point covers a wide range, so take your time to review it properly."
"Enough! You're being naggy!" Zhao Yanzi glared at him.
Hao Ren put the materials in the corner and walked out, seeing Zhao Guang with Lu Lingling and Lu Lili waiting in the hallway.
“Let's go!” Zhao Guang led them down to the ground floor.
Zhao Hongyu was fiddling with a building model in the living room. Seeing them come down, she asked, "Finished"
"Yes. You stay and look after Ah Zi at home. I'll take Ren to select some cultivation techniques. This is no small matter; it concerns Ren's future training direction. So I won't bring Ah Zi along to avoid her giving unnecessary advice," said Zhao Guang calmly.
“Ah Zi needs to do her homework, you two go ahead. We’ll wait for your return,” Zhao Hongyu nodded and replied.
Zhao Guang nodded and then led Hao Ren and the Lu sisters out of the house.
Hao Ren saw Zhao Guang's serious expression and thus did not take tonight’s task lightly regarding selecting a cultivation method.
"It would be too slow to drive there. Since you've already broken through to the third layer of the Concentrating Spirit Decree, your resistance to spells isn't as weak as it used to be. Let's just go straight there." Zhao Guang waved his hand and a shimmering silver veil appeared around himself and Hao Ren.
The Lu sisters didn’t need to make any moves; a circle of seven-colored light instantly surrounded them, but out of concern for being too conspicuous, it quickly turned into a dull grayish glow.
"Up!" Zhao Guang raised both hands. The silver light wrapped around him and Hao Ren as they sped towards the beach.
The Lu sisters didn’t lag behind and followed closely after them.
In the dark background of the city, no one noticed three beams of light streaking across low in the sky toward the sea.
After crossing the beach, they continued to fly over the undulating ocean surface for a while before rapidly descending into it. The遁速of the Lu sisters was not inferior to Zhao Guang’s pale silver light sphere; if anything, they were even faster. Indeed worthy of being Earth-level experts.
"Great Array, open!" After descending for some time underwater, Zhao Guang suddenly spread his arms downward.
Whoosh,
A flash of silver light appeared and the magnificent dragon palace came into view before their eyes.
Zhao Guang led Hao Ren to land slowly. The silver protective array above their heads quickly closed again. Following them, the Lu sisters landed on the ground of the dragon palace; after such a long distance in flight, they remained unperturbed and showed no signs of strain at all.
However, Hao Ren's face looked far from good as he was pulled along by Zhao Guang. His deathly pale complexion indicated that during this flight, he had been forcefully circulating the Concentrating Spirit Decree to consume his internal qi from heaven and earth.
"Your cultivation is still a bit weak; however, the Concentrating Spirit Decree is just a basic cultivation method. It’s indeed somewhat strenuous for you to fly long distances with me." Zhao Guang released Hao Ren, saying.
"Young Master, let us use our energy to heal your injuries!" The Lu sisters hurriedly approached and said anxiously.
"No need, no need," Hao Ren quickly declined. "I just feel a bit dizzy; it’ll be fine in a moment!"
At this moment, Chancellor Xia, wearing court robes and bowing slightly, ran over. "Your humble servant greets the Dragon King, greets the Imperial Son-in-Law, greets Miss Linlin, and greets Miss Lili."
"Chancellor Xia, please don’t!" Linlin and Lily quickly supported Chancellor Xia. "Our sisters are only prisoners of war; we’re grateful for your care when we were in the Cold Palace."
“Now that you two are with the Imperial Son-in-Law, times have changed, so how could I be careless” Chancellor Xia said cautiously. Hao Ren secretly admired this Chancellor Xia's excellent abilities and eloquence.
"No more words are necessary. Today, I brought Ah Ren here to select an appropriate cultivation technique for him, which will become his main practice in the future. We also hope he can use it to break through to the Kan rank sooner," Zhao Guang interrupted Chancellor Xia's speech and calmly said.
Chancellor Xia’s eyes lit up: "The Imperial Son-in-Law is indeed a prodigy; breaking through to the third level of Spirit Condensation Technique in such a short time, truly."
"Alright," Zhao Guang interrupted again. "Time is tight, so you take Ah Ren to pick one out. Any grade below Qing can be chosen freely. Explain each cultivation technique thoroughly to Ah Ren. Linlin and Lily should go with him as well, providing some reference opinions. I need to check on the progress of my third brother’s heavenly tribulation altar, which is also a significant matter. Let me know once you’ve finished."
With these instructions, Zhao Guang flew off in a beam of light towards the eastern part of the Dragon Palace.
Flying was not allowed inside the Dragon Palace, but Zhao Guang was an exception.
"Imperial Son-in-Law, please follow me," Chancellor Xia bowed slightly to Hao Ren.
“No need to call me Imperial Son-in-Law,” Hao Ren said.
Chancellor Xia chuckled: "Oh, Mr. Hao, please follow me. Since you left last time, your humble servant has truly missed you."
With bowed shoulders, Chancellor Xia led the way forward while expressing his loyalty and heading towards the "Xuan Palace".
Entering the Xuan Gong Hall, it was like during their previous visit. Chancellor Xia took Hao Ren to start viewing from the first floor.
The seven floors of the pagoda were categorized according to cultivation technique levels in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The lowest level on the first floor was the Red-grade cultivation techniques, totaling over three hundred volumes.
Even these lowest-level cultivation techniques could easily surpass Hao Ren’s previous Spirit Condensation Technique by a factor of ten or even one hundred times in strength.
"Red-grade cultivation techniques are suitable for beginners and relatively easy to practice. However, their power is not great, nor do they offer much room for development," Chancellor Xia explained as he guided Hao Ren past shelf after shelf of books. "But our East Sea has a thousand years' worth of treasures. Even these low-level Red-grade cultivation techniques would likely cause turmoil in the mortal world if they fell into the hands of cultivators."
While explaining, Chancellor Xia also showed some pride. He was probably unaware that today’s mortal realm had long since been transformed by steel and concrete, no longer resembling an era filled with martial arts sects or cultivation sects.
If these Red-grade cultivation techniques were thrown into the streets, it would be unlikely anyone could understand them, let alone fight over them. The best possible outcome might be to sell them as scrap metal at a recycling station.
