Tong Family looked over at Mr. Chen in the distance and whispered in a voice audible only to the two of them, "Xin Lan, aren't you also planning to have a child with the general?"
"Yes," Xin Lan replied with a slight blush on her cheeks, "there hasn't been any news yet."
In her heart, she fretted. Half a year had passed since the wedding, and although they were active, there was still no sign of pregnancy. She was beginning to worry that there might be something wrong with her, wondering what she would do if she couldn't have children.
"Next time, come with me to Ci Yun Temple," Sister-in-law Tong said, holding her hand. "There are quite a few people there praying for children. I've heard it's very effective. Once you and General Chen have a child, he or she could keep Yu Huan company. Oh, and you should bring General Chen along; I heard it works even better."
"Sure," Xin Lan agreed.
Chen Sansi joined the conversation.
He didn't want to listen, but his exceptional hearing made it impossible to ignore the conversation, as all of them were in the same courtyard.
"However, it will have to be in a few days. I'm currently busy with the Selected Point matters. We can go after that ends. I'll go with you, Sister Lan, and Sister-in-law Tong."
Chen Sansi also seemed interested.
The entire city of Liangzhou was visiting the Taoist Temple, especially since even Martial Saints were there.
Even though he witnessed a Martial Saint being defeated in an instant today, he did not think less of the Martial Saints. After all, they were among the greatest combatants in the world.
It was only that Sun Xiangzong was exceptionally powerful, not that the Martial Saint was weak.
"Sister-in-law Tong,"
Chen Sansi asked curiously, "You go there to pray for safety, but what do martial artists pray for?"
Tong Family recalled carefully, "They also pray for safety."
"They pray for safety too?"
Chen Sansi grew even more curious and felt something strange.
Martial artists, who rely on their own skills for safety, why would they need to pray to gods and worship Buddha?
If someone said that Ci Yun Temple was a Major Sect that possessed a Martial Saint, that might make sense.
But when he came to Liangzhou, he memorized the details of the Sects, and not only did Ci Yun Temple not rank as a Martial Saint Level, but it probably couldn't even be listed among the second-rate Sects, likely falling even behind the third-rate.
What was there to worship?
Either it's truly divine, or there's something ghostly.
With this in mind, Chen Sansi couldn't possibly allow Sister Lan to go alone.
The back courtyard of the three-archway house was where Chen Sansi practiced his martial arts, undisturbed even when there were visitors.
After filling his belly, he started practicing Martial Arts.
Spiritual Grain, treasure medicine, and beast meat.
With the combination of these three enhancements, his cultivation progressed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Chen Sansi once again reached a critical point for a breakthrough.
The Unity Spear Technique, derived from merging three kinds of spear techniques, had reached its peak in his hands, being quick, fierce, and enduring. Possessing any one of these traits could secure a martial artist a place in the world of Martial Arts, but he possessed all!
Moreover, the amalgamation of these three traits subtly evolved into a "wild" force—this was the power of the spear!
Every weapon has its power. Only by mastering this power could one possibly become a grandmaster. Otherwise, it's just a dead set of moves that, when faces a martial artist of the same physique and realm, would offer no advantage.
Crossing realms in combat, spear technique was also a crucial element.
Chen Sansi's long spear whistled through the air, seemingly transforming into a fierce python at one moment. As he practiced, even the birds flying overhead were startled into falling, and the young osmanthus trees in the courtyard swayed unceasingly, as if they might break at any moment in the fierce wind.
Suddenly, his heart began to beat wildly, surpassing the limits any normal human could endure.
But this was not a sign of physical trouble, but rather a sign of breakthrough!
The heart, being the most powerful among the organs, is also a crucial foundation for the body's strength. All blood is supplied to every part of the body through the heart; the stronger the heart, the more powerful the burst of strength.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
With the heart pumping, the blood of the dragon and elephant within Chen Sansi enhanced further, nearly doubling his speed, reaction, and strength.
Refining Internal Organs Small Success, Heart Burning!
[Cultivation Technique: Unity Spear Technique (Small Achievement)]
[Utility:..., ..., Xuan Yuan Five Organs Body, Qilin Heart]
[Qilin Heart: One of the Xuan Yuan Five Organs, combined with Seven Apertures Exquisite, exceptional combat talent, guaranteed to decipher the opponent's combat routines within thirty rounds!]
Chen Sansi had recently caught up on many books and gained an understanding of various Martial Arts physiques, no longer as ignorant as before.
The Qilin Body is also considered as a Body of Martial Saint.
Moreover, it is the only physique that enhances the perceptiveness in learning Martial Arts, not just physical enhancement.
Elder Yan's grandson, Yan Changqing, has this physique.
Among them, the most crucial Qilin Heart, now isolated by the proficiency panel and integrated into his body, also reacted with the reading skill [Seven Apertures Exquisite].
Guaranteed to decipher an opponent's combat routines within thirty rounds!
What a concept this is!
That is to say, regardless of the realm, as long as he can last thirty rounds, he can find an opponent's weaknesses and break them!
Holding on, for the enduring Chen Sansi, has never been an issue.
Of course, the premise is that the gap in realm isn't too vast.
If he were to fight Supervisor Sun now, that would naturally be futile.
But facing someone at Great Success or Perfection of Refining Internal...
Everyone knows the difference between Small Success and Perfection in Refining is immense.
Because Heart Burning is just an immature form of Blood Explosion after achieving Refining Internal Organs Perfection; an immature form fighting a complete form obviously spells what need not be said.
Previously, Chen Sansi truly lacked full confidence.
Now, possessing [Qilin Heart], he does have a few more chances of winning, but still dares not underestimate his opponents, as those individuals are genuine geniuses. Their physiques, Cultivation Techniques, and the medicines used are all of the highest quality, unlike any opponent he has faced before.
