Chapter 387: Chapter 387

A good man doesn't fight with women. This woman was somewhat inexplicable—it was better to avoid provoking her.

"I was just admiring the moon. Now that I'm done admiring it, I should go. Here, take this back!" After speaking, Xiaoyao threw the speaking tube back.

Xiaoyao's head was hit by something again, and this time it was the speaking tube he had just thrown back!

"Aren't you afraid this will break?" Xiaoyao caught the speaking tube, thinking to himself that this was high-quality jade—just the craftsmanship alone was worth quite a bit of money.

"It's just a small thing. If it breaks, I'll just make another one." Miss Wang's voice came through, her tone so dismissive, as if she regarded money as dirt.

"Alright, what else do you want? It's late at night—I need to rest." Xiaoyao didn't continue on that topic, just wanting to end this inexplicable conversation quickly.

"I'm asking you, what were you thinking about just now? Your expression seemed very melancholy." Miss Wang asked.

"That's none of your business. If that's all, I'll take my leave first." Xiaoyao refused to answer this question. We're not familiar with each other—why should I answer you?

"You're really terrible. No matter what, I'm a beautiful woman who's pleasing to look at. Can't you show some normal behavior?" Miss Wang said, defeated by Xiaoyao.

She had never seen such a person. She had always been the center of attention, with countless people pursuing her. Yet this little servant was playing hard to get with her. Believe it or not, I could kill you.

"What do you mean by normal behavior? I'm acting very normally. We don't know each other—this is how it should be." Xiaoyao asked back somewhat strangely, while his expression seemed to say: you're the one being abnormal.

Miss Wang clearly received Xiaoyao's message and was somewhat speechless. She was actually being seen as abnormal by someone—and that someone was just a little servant.

"Boy, believe it or not, I could kill you." Miss Wang said threateningly.

"..." Xiaoyao fell silent. Did this woman have some brain problems? It was better to avoid provoking her.

"From your expression, it seems you don't believe it. You must not know who I am?" Miss Wang continued. She seemed to talk quite a bit, at least that's how Xiaoyao felt.

"I don't know. Miss, which great deity are you?" Xiaoyao asked carefully. He was afraid of offending this great deity and feared attracting unnecessary trouble.

"You don't even know who I am, so why am I even talking about this with you!" Miss Wang's words nearly choked Xiaoyao to death.

"Seeing how sincere you look, I'll tell you a bit..." Miss Wang said again.

Hey hey, when was I being sincere? Oh wait, I'm always sincere—there's nothing wrong with what she said. So I should listen to what she has to say.

"Since you're at the Xuanwu Family, you should know who this courtyard I'm in belongs to." Miss Wang continued, waiting for Xiaoyao's response. She liked having someone respond—otherwise it felt like she was talking to herself.

"I've heard about it. It's the home of Elder Wei, a minister for three dynasties. The Wei family has been officials for generations for hundreds of years—they're wealthy and powerful. If you're from the Wei family, you're indeed an impressive person, but you clearly have the surname Wang." Xiaoyao pointed out a very important issue—Miss Wang was not a direct relative of the Wei family across the way.

"That's right, my surname is Wang. I'm not from the Wei family, but since I can stay at the Wei family's place, I'm not a simple person. Do you understand this?" Miss Wang said. Her words and actions were very interesting—she actually said she herself wasn't a simple person.

"I understand. I'm not simple either—I'm at the Xuanwu Family!" Xiaoyao said seriously.

"Get lost! How dare you compare yourself to me!" Miss Wang threw another walnut shell over.

This time Xiaoyao wasn't hit—he couldn't get hit every time. However, after dodging, he made strange sounds: "Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

"You... forget it. This... this miss is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges against small people. If this miss argued with a stepping stone like you, this miss would age." Miss Wang was somewhat angry, but she had no way to deal with Xiaoyao. She couldn't jump over and hit him.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss Wang. Could you please spare this humble one? I still have to work tomorrow." Xiaoyao begged for mercy. He felt the woman across from him was not only inexplicable but also somewhat boring.

"Are you afraid you won't have energy? This miss will teach you a type of mental cultivation method. From now on, you can replace sleep with cultivation—you'll only need one or two hours per day." Miss Wang said, as if she absolutely had to have Xiaoyao accompany her. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI★Fire.net

"Then this humble one thanks you. Please enlighten me, great one." Xiaoyao didn't refuse either. He never refused when others wanted to tell him mental cultivation methods. One of his purposes was to collect various mental cultivation methods and martial techniques.

"That's more like it. Listen carefully—The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it moves the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nourishes all things..." Miss Wang recited a complete mental cultivation method.

The more Xiaoyao listened, the more shocked he became. This internal cultivation method was not simple—even on this land, it was rare. Although it was just a very basic mental method with somewhat auxiliary nature, its auxiliary functions were very powerful.

Cultivating according to this internal method, there would be no possibility of qi deviation. It was the safest internal cultivation method Xiaoyao had ever seen, and the speed of power growth wouldn't be slow either—it could compare with some high-level internal cultivation methods.

It would probably reach its limit after cultivating to Emperor Level, but with this internal cultivation method as a foundation, one could switch to any other internal cultivation method without any conflicts. It could also increase cultivation speed and stabilize mental state—in short, it had only benefits.

This was good stuff. Xiaoyao benefited greatly from it. Just for this, Xiaoyao now looked at Miss Wang with new eyes. Now he could tolerate Miss Wang's inexplicable behavior.

"This is the Daoist Clear Stillness Technique. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me now. This miss is in a good mood right now and can give you free guidance." Miss Wang said proudly, as if she were a peerless master.

"No need. I'm not stupid—I understand it all." Xiaoyao replied unhappily.

"I know you need help. How could you possibly understand... huh? What did you just say? You understand it all?" Miss Wang's prepared long speech got stuck. In her opinion, how could a little servant like Xiaoyao understand such things? He definitely needed to ask her for guidance, then she would have things to say.

"Yes, I understand it all. This isn't very difficult." Xiaoyao replied. This was just basics. Although it was very ingenious, once explained, one could understand it.

This was like something that you might never understand if no one told you, but once someone explained it to you, you would get it. That was the principle here.

"Fine, then show me how you practice it." Miss Wang didn't believe Xiaoyao. She had just met him today—how could she know Xiaoyao had such high comprehension? Not to mention this—even if she brought out all the martial arts she knew, she might not be able to stump Xiaoyao. At most it would be a matter of time.

Honestly, unless it was something like Supreme Sword Arts, everything else basically didn't require much time, because Xiaoyao had already comprehended things of the same level.

However, although Xiaoyao understood, he couldn't necessarily use it...

"I can't practice it!!"

"See, you're still lying to me. Just ask me how to practice it—I'll teach you. You don't even need to beg me. How generous I am." Miss Wang seemed to say generously, but her expression seemed to say: actually, you are begging me.

"Even if you teach me, it's useless. I can't practice it!" Xiaoyao shook his head, deliberately not explaining the situation, making her ask him instead, because: I don't like your expression.

"It's useful. I'm very capable. As long as I teach you, even if you're a good-for-nothing, you'll learn it." Miss Wang said.

"I'm not a good-for-nothing..." Xiaoyao felt somewhat powerless. Are you doing this on purpose?

"Then why can't you practice it?" Miss Wang asked, seemingly very curious.

"I cultivate the Divine Farmer's Art—I can't practice other methods." Xiaoyao had to explain. If this continued, he might be considered worse than a good-for-nothing.

"Divine Farmer's Art? You actually cultivate that. However, given your status, cultivating this is very normal and suitable. But this isn't easy to cultivate." Miss Wang frowned slightly. She also knew the Divine Farmer's Art. The reason she didn't mention this method was because although the Divine Farmer's Art had good effects and no offensive power, it was very difficult to cultivate to the highest level.

This was why so few people cultivated the Divine Farmer's Art. It wasn't very strong to begin with, and it was also difficult to practice. Who would want to do this? Only some doctors would choose it.

However, these doctors generally didn't put their minds on cultivation and found it difficult to cultivate to high levels. They would stop before King Level—very few could surpass King Level, and reaching Emperor Level was unprecedented.

If the Divine Farmer's Art could be cultivated to King Level, the effects were very obvious. Basically any illness could be solved immediately. Combined with brilliant medical skills, as long as there was still a breath left, anyone could be saved.

Reaching Emperor Level, perhaps medical skills wouldn't even be needed. As long as Divine Farmer True Qi was released, bringing the dead back to life might be possible...

"It's alright, not too difficult." Xiaoyao replied.

"What level are you at now?" Miss Wang looked at Xiaoyao and asked.

"Late General Level. How's that? Pretty impressive, right?" Xiaoyao said.

"Not bad!" Miss Wang nodded. Surprisingly, she didn't disparage Xiaoyao. This was because she knew that being able to cultivate the Divine Farmer's Art to late General Level was not easy.

At the same time, Xiaoyao wasn't very old now and would continue to improve in the future. Among servants, he was already a genius!

Yes, among servants!!

Miss Wang then said: "I also have a Divine Farmer's Art mental cultivation method here. It might be more complete. Do you want to listen to it?"
