Gu Yang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, with True Qi circulating within his body.
At his level of cultivation, he could use meditation as a substitute for sleep, entering a state similar to deep contemplation, which had an even better effect than sleep.
Moreover, in this state, he was extremely sensitive to his surroundings. Any movements, no matter how small, c114ould be sensed beforehand.
However, being a modern man, he was somewhat restless. Despite many years, he still hadn’t been able to truly calm his mind. Each practice session, it always took him a long time to enter a state of meditation.
This was one of the key reasons for the slow progress of his True Qi.
Up until now, he was unable to quickly enter a meditative state. Each time, it would take one or two hours, and the quality was not very good.
Today, however, he felt something different, as if he could faintly smell a unique fragrance through his nose. His mind rapidly calmed down and he entered the mysterious state.
When Zhang Xiao Hai got up from bed in the next room, Gu Yang naturally woke up. He felt better than ever, even the True Qi within his body had slightly increased.
The efficacy of tonight’s meditation was equivalent to a month’s worth of progress in the past.
“Is this the effect of high-quality meditation?”
He was astonished. Looking out, he saw Ling Ling waking up with a slight smile on her face.
Gu Yang responded with a small smile and then got up.
It was clear that this change didn’t occur without a cause, it must be her doing.
Such aromatics that could help people quickly enter a meditative state were high-grade, not something money could readily buy.
She had actually been willing to use it.
Gu Yang was even more curious about this woman.
Having an extra person in the group did not significantly impact the pace of their journey.
Following the previous route, Gu Yang traveled overland to Ping County. They encountered no further mishaps along the way.
After half a month, Ping County was finally within sight.
That day, Ling Ling found an excuse to venture out alone into the bustling streets. She eventually made her way through a small back alley and rendezvoused with a ragged old man.
The old man crouched on the ground, holding a bottle of wine. With a grin, he said, “Girl, you look successful.”
“Of course, it took just a minor ruse for me to infiltrate that man’s inner circle.” Ling Ling replied with a hint of pride.
“So, how is it? Didn’t Grandpa Dupe lead you wrong? His Pure Yang Qi is exceptionally pure. Once he reaches the Fourth Rank, it will aid you in cultivating the Extreme Yang True Gang.”
Ling Ling’s brows furrowed at his words, “I fear it won’t be that simple.” “What problems are there?”
“According to my observations over these few days, his cultivation progress is extremely slow. Even with my help, and even with dual cultivation with that woman of ice skin and jade bones, it will take at least ten years to break through to the Fourth Rank. It’s strange, how did he manage to reach the Fifth Rank with such aptitude?”
This was Ling Ling’s most perplexing question. Given Ge Yang’s current progress, there was absolutely no way he could have reached his current level of cultivation at such an age.
The old man said thoughtfully, “It seems that this man had some extraordinary experiences.”
“Indeed, saving a stunning woman of ice skin and jade bones from a bandit’s clutches is quite a feat of luck.”
Ling Ling had learned from Zhang Xiao Hai about how Gu Yang and Su
Qingzhen had come together.
With a hint of glee, she said, “I heard that Zhao Han practices the Burning Sky Art. The Liu family originally wanted to offer Su Qingzhen to him, who would have thought that it would end up benefiting this guy.”
Zhao Han was the fifth prince of the Great Zhou dynasty.
