Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: Chapter 375: Family Improves Strength_Part 1 (2/2)

They slowly opened their eyes, and Qin Niu had already packed up the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood and carried it in a basket on his back.

Taking both wives by the hand, he walked outside.

At this moment, tree branches were already drooping, and chilling energy sprinkled down from the leaves, piercing to the bone.

“It’s so cold!” Cai Xian hugged her husband’s arm and leaned against him.

“I feel like all the blood in my body has frozen,” Wang Wanyan also leaned against her husband.

In such a perilous environment, Qin Niu was their pillar of strength, their source of security, protecting them from harm.

Qin Niu quickly led them out of the maze. The two women felt as if they had returned from the underworld to the land of the living, just as the setting sun dipped below the horizon, casting a glow on the mountains.

“It’s miraculous. Ah Niu, will you take us here to cultivate again tomorrow? My cultivation level has improved by two stages, reaching the Fivefold level of ordinary humans,” Cai Xian said, who was originally at the Threefold level, close to reaching Fourfold.

Just one day of cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree, and she had broken through directly to Fivefold.

It was equivalent to advancing through two minor realms.

Having tasted the sweetness, she was already eager to continue the next day.

“As long as it’s not a rainy day, I will bring you both here to cultivate in the future. But you must remember, never to disclose anything about the Ancient Banyan Tree. Not to your parents, siblings, or friends,” Qin Niu once again cautioned his wives.

Women naturally love to show off, and that was his greatest concern.

Fortunately, both Wang Wanyan and Cai Xian were well-cultured. Even if vanity and the desire to boast were in their bones, their education, principles of interacting with people, and experience in social survival were enough to quell that urge.

They would keep the secret of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

“Wan Yan, your cultivation has also increased by one stage, right?” Qin Niu could actually see through their cultivation levels at a glance.

“Yes, my cultivation has increased by one stage. But I’m far behind Little Sister Cai Xian,” Wang Wanyan said.

She had now reached the Sixfold level of ordinary humans.

“Don’t underestimate yourself; everyone has their own strengths. Cai Xian has a deeper understanding of the Dragon-Elephant Sutra, so her cultivation speed is slightly faster. But it’s not much faster than yours. In my opinion, your slower comprehension of the Dragon-Elephant Sutra isn’t a bad thing. With the same cultivation technique, personal understandings differ greatly, leading to vastly different cultivation paths,” Qin Niu was very satisfied with his wives’ progress.

He had long wanted to bring them together for cultivation.

But due to a variety of concerns, the plan had been put off.

Now that they were married, and his women, it was only natural to share this top-tier cultivation resource with them.

Even a top family like the Fang Family did not have such superior resources.

The tree regarded as the Fang Family’s ancestral treasure could only make the spiritual energy within the Fang Family Forbidden Land about twice as dense as outside.

Compared to the twentyfold increase provided by the Ancient Banyan Tree, there was a tenfold difference.

Moreover, given the size of the Ancient Banyan Tree, there was no need to worry about too rapid a depletion of spiritual energy even if several people were cultivating.

Each of them could absorb the energy within the maze to their heart’s content.

…

In the following days, Qin Niu brought his wives into the mountains to cultivate every day.

He also persisted in nurturing his insects.

The Gold Devouring Ant, Fourth, Demon Ant, Green Demon Bee, Green Silk Worm, and Black Spider Gu were all his key nurturing targets.

Unbeknownst to him, his collection of insect pets had grown quite rich.

He did not follow Elder Jiu Yin’s path of cultivation.

Rather than pursuing numerical superiority, he preferred to seek quality in his insects.

If any advantage were to be discussed regarding numbers, the Termite naturally had a head-start because the Ant Queen could lay a thousand eggs a day, a tireless breeding machine.

The Gold Devouring Ant’s diet was unique, specializing in various metals.

Gold, silver, copper, iron—these were its favorite delicacies.

It presumably would be fond of other rare metals as well; it was only difficult to procure them.
