Cheng Zheng Yuan had no doubts in his mind. He believed in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words. Snow ginseng in hand, he centered his focus to absorb the essence of the snow ginseng into his body. Cheng Xiao Xiao stood not too far away and smiled and watched him.
Assuming Five Heart Upward meditation pose, Cheng Zheng Yuan closed his eyes gently. Snow ginseng clutched in his left hand, he began his meditation.Five Heart Upward meditation pose (5 “hearts” being top of the head, both palms, and the bottom of the feet)Photo credit: freewechat.comShoo! Shoo! Shoo!In the next instance, the essence inside the wild ginseng turned into thin spiritual streaks. These streaks entered Cheng Zheng Yuan’s body through his left hand and, with lightning speed, entered into his blood vessels and being absorbed into his blood.A cloud of spiritual air slowly surrounded Cheng Zheng Yuan. Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at the scene in front of her, and excited anticipation could be seen in her eyes.Time, passed slowly.15 minutes… 30 minutes… 2 hours… 4 hours…Shoo—Cheng Zheng Yuan’s mouth opened and a white streak of spiritual air shoot out like an arrow seven, eight feet away.Ka cha!A crisp sound, a bamboo cracked in the middle and the top half fell. Cheng Xiao Xiao was shocked.The next moment, Cheng Zheng Yuan opened his eyes and gave a big smile.The joints on Cheng Zheng Yuan’s body rattled loudly. With a slight jump, Cheng Zheng Yuan stood in the middle of the bamboo forest. Cheng Xiao Xiao felt that he was, indeed, appeared different. Happily, she asked, “Zheng Yuan, how do you feel now? Did you breakthrough to martial apprentice?”“Big sister, look!”Cheng Zheng Yuan smiled, balled one palm into a fist and punched.Bang!A loud explosion in the air, an area in the bamboo forest was affected by his power and the bamboos rattled violently; a few broke in the middle. He had certainly became much more powerful.“Zheng Yuan, congratulation! That was incredible!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and walked up to him, “Dad would be so happy when he found out that you have achieved martial apprentice!”“Indeed!” Cheng Zheng Yuan looked very happy. The next minute, he took a deep breath, with a determined look he announced slowly, “Big sister, I am just a martial apprentice. That is nothing. I will continue to focus on cultivating and improving myself!”“Zheng Yuan, your big sister will be very supportive of that. I am sure you will make the rank of elite martial artist in no time!” Cheng Xiao Xiao felt genuinely happy for her brother, especially the fact that he wasn’t arrogant about his success. He was someone who was down to earth, and was destined for big accomplishments.Needless to say, Cheng Biyuan was ecstatic when he found out that his oldest son has achieved martial apprentice. His thunderous laughter echoed in the air.The whole family laughed, the two younger ones looked at their older brother with admiration. Especially little brother Zheng Bin, who pestered his older brother insistently to teach him to cultivate. Cheng Zheng Yuan promised he would teach him and the young ones had been cultivated daily in the bamboo forest.Inside the dimension!“Yuteng, is there anyway you can convert the bamboo forest a little bit? Say, turn it into a sacred location for cultivation. What do you say?” Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes beamed, she want to establish a sacred place.Little Yuteng, who was sitting on the crystal tree, cupped her cheeks in her palms. Her eyes sparkled like stars in night sky. Slowly, she said, “Young master, there is such a possibility, but I can’t make any promises. We can try to water the bamboos using the water from our well in the dimension every night. Perhaps overtime the bamboo will absorb the spiritual air and grow into spiritual bamboos.”“Really, Yuteng, you think that will work?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was happy and hopeful.Little Yuteng smiled and said, “I think so, young master. You can have your family irrigate the bamboo at their roots whenever they have the time. Even though the well outside was a clone, but it is still effective. Over time, and on top of me using water from the dimension nightly, I’m sure we can convert the bamboos into spiritual bamboos!”

“Okay, let’s give that a try. If we can really convert the bamboo forest into a vast sea of spiritual bamboo, that will greatly assist with the cultivation of Zheng Yuan and the lot and dad would be happy too!”
“Young master, I don’t think you’d stop at just converting the bamboo forest. From now on, you are going to start changing everything surrounding you. This entire surrounding area will become sacred land for cultivation.”“That won’t be such a bad thing!” laughed Cheng Xiao Xiao happily.“Of course it will be a good thing, young master. Yuteng has faith in you!”“Yuteng, all said and done, you are the one who has to do all the work!”“Anything to make my young master happy!”Chitchatting and talking about their future wishful thinking, Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t realize that a second group of visitors had arrived in the outside world!“Young master, someone’s here!” Little Yuteng seemed to have sensed something and warned her.Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was leaning against the crystal tree and meditating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and she could hear the message from the dogs in her head. Immediately, she said, “Let me go check it out.”Flashing out of the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked outside of the house. Her parents had already met up with the visitors and they appeared at the door before she could walk out of the courtyard!She didn’t recognize most of the visitors, except one that she had already met a couple of times. She put on her normal look after a short pause. If people from the Ning’s could find there way here, naturally so could Innkeeper Zhu, who was right now standing in front of her.“Have a seat, everyone. Pardon the mess!” Cheng Biyuan said the humble words, but there’s no inferiority detected in his tone.Deacon Bai didn’t show much in terms of emotions. Deacon Lin had a cold look as though he was there to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars that was owed to him.Innkeeper Zhu, as usual, was full of smiles. Politely he cupped his hands and said, “Please, Mr. Cheng, pardon our unannounced visit!”“Have a seat!” said Cheng Biyuan politely, he had already found out the identities of the visitors.The lot sat down on the chairs and Mrs. Cheng served them tea. In the short while there, Innkeeper Zhu cupped his hands and greeted the person standing in front of the doorway, “Hi, Miss Cheng, long time no see!”His words got the attention of the other two that were with him, they both looked at the fair maiden in front of them right away. The two deacons seemed surprised by the sight of her.Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t pay them much attention but just nodded at Innkeeper Zhu. She didn’t say a word.Cheng Biyuan, sitting on the other side caught the entire exchange. He asked indifferently, “So Innkeeper Zhu and the two deacons, what is the purpose of your visit today?”“Ugh, Mr. Cheng, allow me to explain!”??Innkeeper Zhu first shot a glance at the two deacons. Seeing that they had no reaction, he continued, “I have purchased produces and farm animals from Mrs. Cheng and Miss Cheng previously and had a verbal agreement that we will purchase all your goods in the future. What do you think about that?”“Oh….” Said Cheng Biyuan casually, but was non-committal.Mrs. Cheng, who was pouring tea at the moment couldn’t help but took a look at him. After filling up the tea for everyone, she stood to one side silently.Innkeeper Zhu’s look was a bit stiff. Deacon Lin, standing next to him, looked disgruntled but did not verbalize it; whereas Deacon Bai was observing every Cheng’s reaction carefully.Nobody said a word and awkwardness filled the air.Deacon Bai smiled finally and said directly to Cheng Biyuan, “Mr. Cheng, we are willing to purchase your goods and farm animals at high cost!”
