Early in the morning, Changsun Bubai, upon hearing that the newly erected livestock pens in the camp were again insufficient, knew Zhang San had reaped a bountiful harvest.
Wanting to ask Zhang San just how many cattle and sheep he intended to bring back, so that he too could arrange for more livestock pens to be built, he found Hei standing at the entrance, saying Zhang San was resting.
A bit helpless, Changsun Bubai knew that although he managed the entire Lingwu Army, Zhang San seemed to be quite a handful to manage.
Forget it, it’s not a big issue, just build more cattle and sheep pens. I don’t believe that even if we make enough room to accommodate a hundred thousand cattle and sheep, he would still exceed that!
At this moment, Zhang San inside his sleeping tent, was slowly expelling the Wheel Sea Water from his Lung Divine Treasure.
Zhang San had finally realized the key point that Changsun Bubai had told him before.
He had been refining the Wheel Sea Water in his surroundings with Qi, turning it into something he could more easily control,
While simultaneously expelling the refined Wheel Sea Water from his Lung Divine Treasure.
This led to him drawing in unrefined Wheel Sea Water from the vicinity and using his Qi to refine it, which meant the entire water environment became relatively sealed off. At the same time, he had to expel the refined Wheel Sea Water from his Lung Divine Treasure. It was as if he was blowing up a balloon in a sealed underwater space he created.
But now, he felt as though he was blowing up a balloon above the water. Even though there was still resistance in expelling the water, the current resistance was far less than it was before.
Therefore, in half a night, Zhang San had already expelled thirty percent of the Wheel Sea Water.
Zhang San estimated that by tonight, his Lung Divine Treasure would be fully formed.
But what Zhang San least expected was...
Inside Changsun Bubai’s sleeping quarters, after a hard day’s work, as he had just returned, his daughter considerately prepared a basin of hot water for him.
"Father, you’ve worked hard today. Let your daughter give you a footbath."
Looking at his thoughtful daughter, a wave of warmth swept over Changsun Bubai.
"No need, just leave it here. Is there anything your father can’t do by himself—like wash his own feet."
Although Changsun Bubai said this aloud, in his heart, he was hoping his daughter would press a little harder and say that there was no trouble so he could accept her act of filial piety.
"Then father, please rest early. I will take my leave now."
Changsun Bubai’s smile stiffened for a moment, then he continued to smile.
Just then, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and a face that Changsun Bubai did not want to see poked in.
"Military Envoy, if you’re not too busy, then I’ll come in. Sister Youde is here too! Haven’t seen you in a few days, and you seem to have grown taller. Almost reaching my armpit now, keep it up, keep growing!"
Changsun Youde knew that Zhang San liked to joke around, so she just smiled and nodded at him, then turned and walked out.
Changsun Bubai had always thought that the most annoying young person would be Li Sandao from the Li Family.
That kid was uncouth enough, and to top it off, he had even arranged a child betrothal with his daughter. Every time he saw the brat, he ground his teeth in secret.
Now, a person even more detestable than Li Sandao had finally appeared.
"What are you doing here again!?"
Zhang San moved closer with a mischievous grin and sat down next to Changsun Bubai’s bed, asking, "Military Envoy, have you been busy lately? How is your writing going?"
Changsun Bubai snorted coldly and said, "Thanks to you, today they spent the whole day building livestock pens. I know you’re capable, but could you not consider how much cattle and sheep the Lingwu Army’s station can accommodate?"
Zhang San knew that he must have been appropriating too aggressively recently, but it wasn’t possible for Spring Breeze Town to buy so many cattle and sheep every day.
"Military Envoy, what did the Wheel Sea Water in your Lung Divine Treasure look like when you first expelled it? Tell me about it so I can admire you. To express my admiration, I’ll send a thousand sheep to the Lingwu Army for a little meal addition!"
Changsun Bubai’s expression softened quite a bit upon hearing the offer of a thousand sheep.
"Just ask about whatever condition your Lung Divine Treasure is in."
Zhang San chuckled and described to Changsun Bubai, "I found that my Lung Divine Treasure is like a palace, surrounded by walls, paved everywhere with floor tiles, and various buildings inside, among which the tallest palace is facing south from the north. Is this normal?"
Changsun Bubai nodded and said, "Normal."
"The floor tiles are okay, but some of the walls and the roofs of some buildings are damaged. Is that normal?"
"Inside the largest palace on the northmost side, there’s a Divine Aspect that seems to be still asleep, clad in Golden Armor. Is that, normal?"
"Normal! Wait, Zhang San, what exactly do you want to ask?"
With a puzzled face, Zhang San said, "Military Envoy, it’s my first time cultivating a Divine Treasure, how would I know what it’s supposed to be like. And since the palace is damaged, I’m a bit panicked!"
Changsun Bubai said with a mature and composed face, "The Lung Divine Treasure is supposed to be like that."
As he spoke, Changsun Bubai poured out the milk tea from the table onto the air and then condensed it into the shape of a lung.
"The Lung Divine Treasure is actually a miniature of your own lungs, the two actually affect each other. Come on, try to control this milk tea mass and let me see what your Lung Treasure Manor is roughly like."
Zhang San immediately transformed the milk tea mass with his Qi, after which Changsun Bubai looked at it and nodded slightly.
"First of all, your lungs are actually very good, which proves that you’ve always done very well in your breathing exercises and have cultivated very diligently. But it’s because of that diligence that there have been some..."
Changsun Bubai frowned and gave Zhang San a glare, asking, "What’s that sound?"
"It’s a bit hot, but no problem, please continue," Zhang San replied.
Changsun Bubai looked down and noticed that Zhang San had, at some point, taken off his shoes and socks and was soaking his feet in the foot bath water his daughter had given him.
"The Lung governs metal and also the skin and hair! So you see, your Lung Divine Treasure is so magnificent and spectacular because you’ve cultivated many metal-related Cultivation Techniques. But it’s precisely due to cultivation that some damage is inevitable."
"All you need to do is repair those bits and corners."
Having said that, Changsun Bubai let out a sigh.
"Actually, the reason many Martial Artists later opt for the Five Viscera Wheel Seas isn’t that they’re particularly keen on the martial path, but because once they discover a Divine Treasure, it can greatly reduce their time and effort in forming the Spirit Platform Illusion, and even their own Divine Treasure fits them better. In the future, whether displaying the Spirit Platform Illusion or the Spiritual Platform post-True Core Blossoming, they will be stronger."
Only then did Zhang San understand; it’s normal for a Divine Treasure to have some damage.
Zhang San had thought that everyone else’s Divine Treasures were treasures, while his was a ruin.
"Furthermore, you can adjust your own Divine Treasure to strengthen yourself according to your own ideas."
Zhang San somewhat understood, and quickly dried his feet, put on his shoes, and stood up to thank Changsun Bubai.
After Zhang San left, Changsun Bubai stared at the foot bath water that Zhang San had spoiled.
He wondered, did he owe this kid something in his last life?
When could he find an excuse to give him a good beating?
