Jiang Yunhe’s straightforward question stunned Song Ankang. Fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure. It was indeed strange for him to improve so much in just one or two days.

He had to quickly cultivate the Hidden Heaven Earth Technique, or else it would be hard to explain later on.

However, Song Ankang didn’t expect Jiang Yun and his observational skills to be so strong. Or rather, he was so concerned about Jiang Yun. They had only interacted with each other for a short period of time, but Jiang Yun had already noticed his abnormality.

Song Ankang smiled and said, “Instructor Jiang must be joking.” upon seeing Jiang Yunhe’s worried expression.

“Young master should have already advanced to the Flesh Realm, right? Other than unorthodox cultivation techniques, it’s impossible for orthodox cultivation techniques to improve so quickly. Furthermore, Young master’s talent is slightly inferior,” Jiang Yunhe said.

Song Ankang looked at him and said, “Even if it’s an unorthodox cultivation technique, it shouldn’t be able to allow me to advance so quickly in such a short period of time, right? Actually, I cultivate the superior seventh-grade divine art, Thousand Mountain Art. It has extremely high requirements on perception, so a moment of enlightenment can allow me to improve greatly. If Instructor Jiang doesn’t believe me, you can feel the power of blood qi in my body.”

Song Ankang grabbed Jiang Yunhe’s hand as he spoke. At the same time, he circulated his Qi and blood to let Jiang Yunhe sense it.

The dense and vigorous blood essence power in Song Ankang’s body was indeed very similar to the blood essence cultivated by the Thousand Mountain Art. It was definitely not something an unorthodox cultivation technique could achieve.

The Thousand Mountain Art was a technique that Song Ankang found according to the host body’s memory. It was similar to the current qi and blood of the seven wounds. He didn’t expect it to be useful so soon.

Jiang Yunhe heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he cleared the doubts in his heart. “Congratulations to the young master for finding a martial art that is suitable for yourself. The young master is talented and intelligent. Even though your martial arts aptitude is slightly inferior, your comprehension is extraordinary. The Thousand Mountain Art is just right for the young master to cultivate. I was overthinking.”

“Instructor Jiang is just concerned about me. I still have to thank Instructor Jiang. In the future, I’ll need Instructor Jiang’s guidance,” Song Ankang said with a smile.

After dispelling his worries, Jiang Yunhe bade Song Ankang farewell and returned to the courtyard to cultivate his battle technique.

Song Ankang thought for a while before accompanying Qiushi to sort out the herbs.

Qiu Shi looked especially delicate and charming dressed in a lake-green dress. When she bent down, the part of her body that was curled up was especially round and perky, complementing the area in front of her. A child with huge racks might be a little exaggerated, but it was still considered to be enormous.

At this moment, she was seriously processing the medicinal herbs, and a layer of sweat appeared on her fair and tender face.

Qiu Shi smiled sweetly when she saw Song Ankang. “Young master, you’re here. I didn’t expect to get so many medicinal herbs from the storeroom. It’s enough for you to nourish for a long period of time. When the time comes, you can eat medicinal cuisine every day to improve your cultivation.”

“There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs. You should consume more medicinal cuisine to increase your strength,” said Song Ankang with a smile.

Qiu Shi was also a martial artist. Furthermore, he had entered into the second minor realm of External Realm, the Flesh Realm. He was only a few steps away from the Tendon Realm, and his cultivation base was even higher than Song Ankang’s.

This kind of strength was considered quite good among the maidservants in Tang Manor. Furthermore, she was one of the few maidservants that could cultivate and was also the most beautiful among the four maidservants beside Tang Yelan.

Tang Yelan felt guilty for not being able to consummate their marriage with Song Ankang. Hence, he specially sent Qiu Shi to serve Song Ankang. The meaning was obvious.

After all, thirteen to fourteen years of age was considered adults in China, they would be able to get married and have children. The seventeen-year-old Qiu Shi was slightly older.

Qiu Shi wiped off the sweat on her forehead and smiled sweetly. “This little bit of strength of mine is enough. No matter how high it is, it’s useless. It’s better for Young Master to eat more and advance to the Internal Realm as soon as possible. This way, you will have a chance to return to the mansion.”

“Actually, Eldest Miss had no choice but to send Young Master to Chaoyun Manor. Outside, the heir of the Ping Demon King is eyeing us covetously. The upper echelons of the family clan are not convinced that Eldest Young Lady is in charge. It will be safer for Young Master to come to Chaoyun Manor. Please don’t blame Eldest Miss for this.”

“I know.” Song Ankang nodded with a smile when he heard Qiu Shi’s comforting words. Speaking of which, many people in the Tang family looked down on him, the weak son-in-law. Even his second sister-in-law, Tang Mingyue, and his youngest sister-in-law, Tang Liuli, didn’t approve of this marriage.

Even though the reputation of the capital’s most filial son was resounding and Song Ankang’s good looks were shocking, in this terrifying world where the human race was facing imminent danger, only the strong had sufficient status. Everything else was just fluff.

Furthermore, apart from Tang Yelan’s amazing business skills and outstanding looks, her cultivation talent was also not bad. She was already a martial artist at the fourth minor realm of Internal Realm at the age of 21. In the future, it was possible for him to become an extraordinary.

Song Ankang was a far cry from her. Even as a live-in son-in-law, he wasn’t qualified enough. If it wasn’t for the special circumstances, such a good thing wouldn’t have landed on Song Ankang.

No matter what happened to the other members of the Tang Family, Tang Yelan was indebted to both the Host and Song Ankang who transmigrated here. Song Ankang naturally wouldn’t have any messy thoughts.

To be honest, with the host body’s previous family background, it was still unknown if he could survive this year. Tang Yelan not only held a glorious funeral for the host body’s parents, but also let the host body live an unprecedented good life.

Song Ankang would remember this favor.

With sufficient medicinal ingredients, Qiu Shi prepared a sumptuous medicinal cuisine for Song Ankang at night. At the same time, Tang Yelan, who was in the Tang Family’s residence in the capital, also received Jiang Yunhe’s message.

After learning that Song Ankang had already embarked on the path of cultivation and had advanced to the Flesh Realm through the Thousand Mountain Art, Tang Yelan was rather delighted. She specially picked out a few bottles of pills and prepared to get someone to pass them to her husband.

Even though her marriage with Song Ankang was a little rushed and helpless, since she was already married to Song Ankang, Tang Yelan would not have any other intention and would naturally treat this husband well.

Speaking of which, Song Ankang was helping her by marrying into the Tang Clan, and it was also because of this that she provoked the heir of the Ping Demon King. Therefore, Tang Yelan felt that she owed Song Ankang.

Tang Yelan felt her heart palpitate for the first time in her life as she thought of Song Ankang’s handsome face. She blushed and returned to the study room to continue working on the documents.

The moonlight shone through the window onto Tang Yelan’s exquisite and flawless oval face, rippling with layers of luster. Even though the moonlight was resplendent, it was far inferior to Tang Yelan’s bright eyes.

If Song Ankang were to describe this pair of eyes that were so bright that they were glowing, he would definitely use two words to describe them… Electric Eyes.

According to the host body’s memory, when he met Tang Yelan for the first time and met her gaze, he felt numb for a long time.

Song Ankang would feel numb all over when he occasionally thought about it. It was a strange feeling.

However, at this moment, Song Ankang didn’t know that his cheap wife, Tang Yelan, was thinking about him. She was still moved by him. Song Ankang had just finished enjoying the large pot of five-year ginseng medicinal cuisine prepared for him by Qiu Shi. His body was surging with heat and he was about to absorb and digest it with all his might.
