Chapter 509: 328, The Winner of Involution, Luo Wanya
Before the day’s training began, Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen tiptoed to the outside of Nan Gengchen’s house.
In a low voice, Liu Dezhu said, “Nan Nan, are you up yet?”
Curious, Nan Gengchen opened the door, “What are you two up to?”
Zhang Tianzhen whispered, “We just wanted to ask, why can you cultivate so quickly? Just before the last time travel, we were all more or less at the same level, and now, just seven days later, you’ve even completed the Grand Circulation…”
Upon hearing they were asking about this, Nan Gengchen’s face turned red!
“Just tell us, we’re all brothers here. Share some tips, right?” Liu Dezhu said, winking, “If we all grow faster, won’t Daytime be stronger?”
“It’s not that I want to keep it secret,” Nan Gengchen said earnestly. “And I do want everyone to progress faster in cultivation, but… oh well, I’ll just say it—it’s dual cultivation. This Esoteric cultivation method helps speed up the cultivation process!”
Nan Gengchen decided to spill the beans.
Liu Dezhu was shocked. He looked at Nan Gengchen and then at Zhang Tianzhen.
Zhang Tianzhen was displeased, “Isn’t it a bit too much to look at me now?”
“No, no, no,” Liu Dezhu said, scratching his head, “I’m just totally shocked… The thing is, I can’t use that method.”
“Just go find a girlfriend then,” Zhang Tianzhen suggested.
However, at that moment, Qing Chen emerged from the house, “I didn’t really want you to know this shortcut; with my empowerment, you wouldn’t be much slower than him. But now that you know, it doesn’t really matter. However, I want to set a rule – don’t go looking for girlfriends just for this; otherwise, you’re just using them as tools, not for real affection. Think it over and don’t do something you’ll regret.”
Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen paused, “Understood.”
Qing Chen glanced again at Nan Gengchen, “Starting today, your training in the second chapter of Breathing Technique begins, and I will not empower you. Let’s first bring everyone else to complete the Grand Circulation.”
“Got it,” Nan Gengchen agreed.
“Let’s go; we’ll start with a run, and then continue with cultivation,” Qing Chen said as he walked towards the door.
After moving to the villa area, the pathways were deserted in the mornings, which was convenient for Daytime’s training.
By this time, except for Hu Xiaoniu, everyone had already become cultivators, so running was no longer significantly beneficial to their physical fitness.
Breathing Technique was for cultivation, but regular, coordinated group running was for cultivating the mind.
If Daytime lacked a unified rhythm, even if they all became Demigods, they would be merely a loose group.
They might end up being ‘a clump when gathered and stars when scattered.’
To Daytime’s surprise, Luo Wanya was also waiting outside early, dozing in the back seat of a van parked by the door.
“Why are you here?” Qing Chen asked.
“I was worried there might be a need for me here at any moment. If you called, I could rush over immediately,” Luo Wanya explained.
“That’s thoughtful of you,” Qing Chen said.
When Xiao Luo saw the Daytime members coming out, all dressed in sportswear, he asked with a sheepish smile, “Are you guys going out for a run? Can I join?”
Qing Chen looked at him, “Keep up.”
However, Luo Wanya, indeed older, and with a body long out of shape from lack of exercise and too much fat, was panting after just a couple of steps.
Yet, this local bigwig of Los Angeles City, truly with the resolve that if he couldn’t keep up, he might as well drop dead, pushed himself to complete the entire run!
It must be said, just on the element of joining the run, Luo Wanya was much more hardcore than Zhang Chengze.
This internal competition between Luo Wanya and Zhang Chengze already had a conclusion…
After the run, Qing Chen looked at Luo Wanya, “Go buy the vacant villa next door and move in. Pick a few of your most trusted and capable subordinates, rotate guards to ensure no strangers approach these two villas.”
Luo Wanya was overjoyed at these words; it made his harsh self-treatment worth it!
He hurriedly said to Qing Chen, “I have twelve brothers who have been with me for many years; all Time Travelers. We’ll squeeze into the villa next door. Rest assured, I’ll make sure no unrelated people come near here!”
“Okay, arrange it yourself,” Qing Chen said, then returned to the villa with the Daytime members.
Luo Wanya watched them leave; his driver got out of the car and asked, “Luo… Luo Wanya, you used to act like I was plotting against you whenever I suggested exercise, why were you willing to run today? And, are these people really worth it?”
“You know nothing,” Luo Wanya told his driver, “Haven’t you realized? These people… they’re all Transcendents! Even that young girl is one. Do you get what that means? Never mind, you’re not a Time Traveler; you wouldn’t understand even if I explained!”
Meanwhile, Qing Chen led Li Tongyun, Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, and Li Tongyun into meditation, then he went down to the basement.
At that moment, Hu Xiaoniu was climbing a wall equipped with numerous handholds, simulating all possible terrains needed for climbing techniques.
This was something Qing Chen had Hu Xiaoniu set up when they renovated the basement—though it was a bit cramped with a ceiling height of 4.3 meters, it was still manageable for now.
Qing Chen looked at Hu Xiaoniu, “Aren’t you curious why I don’t teach you cultivation?”
