Jiang Chen and Lin Yin took a taxi directly to a five-star hotel in Dao City. In the presidential suite, Lin Yin smiled and said, "Master, I've booked this room. Can I stay with you?"
"In Quiet Villa, I've only assessed Ye Ming and Chen Zhi's abilities; I haven't seen your progress over the past six months. Before the competition, I'll take a look. If you don't disappoint me, you can stay here," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Master, I promise I won't let you down! I can now sense the Spiritual Energy in the world anytime and anywhere, and I'm able to breathe and absorb it," Lin Yin said as she sat cross-legged on the carpet. She began to operate her Cultivation Method, drawing the thin Spiritual Energy around her to converge at a point three inches above her head, forming a small cyclone. The energy then flowed through her nostrils into her body. Lin Yin circulated the Spiritual Energy for one cycle and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Master, what do you think? Did I disappoint you?" Lin Yin asked with a smile.
"Not at all; you've indeed impressed me. To be able to cultivate to this level while also taking care of things shows your diligence. You can stay in my room tonight," Jiang Chen said.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Yin mimicked characters from TV dramas and cupped her fists in gratitude toward Jiang Chen.
"Staying in my room doesn't mean you can neglect your cultivation. Tonight, you'll meditate here for the night. Your talent is good, but your mindset is a bit erratic; you need to refine it through meditation. I'll teach you a Meditation Technique shortly," Jiang Chen said seriously.
"Oh, fine, Master." Lin Yin pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved. She had thought she could chat with her master tonight but was instead faced with the prospect of boring meditation. However, she didn't dare to go against his wishes.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's phone rang; it was Liu Chaowu calling.
Liu Chaowu was also a judge for the upcoming Chinese Martial Arts Competition and had already arrived, hoping to meet Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen provided him with the hotel address and waited in his room.
"Master, this Martial Arts Competition is just flashy moves; I don't think much of it. Can you really find it worthwhile?" Lin Yin remarked.
"Besides the Martial Arts Competition, there will also be a Martial Arts Arena Tournament where some Martial Arts Experts are expected to participate. You can take the stage and spar with them," Jiang Chen explained.
"They're definitely not my match; I'm not interested at all," Lin Yin said proudly as she tilted her head back.
"Practicing is still necessary," Jiang Chen chuckled. He didn't view Lin Yin's pride as arrogance; as his disciple, she should possess an air of confidence that looked down upon the mundane martial arts of Earth.
"Alright, while we have time now, I'll teach you the Meditation Technique. If you want to go further in your journey, your mindset is crucial. Each time you break through a bottleneck, your mindset plays an especially important role. Right now, you're just at the entry level of Qi cultivation, but on the path of cultivation—like building a tall building from flat ground—your mindset is the load-bearing pillar that cannot be overlooked," Jiang Chen said earnestly.
Seeing her master’s seriousness, Lin Yin also became serious and listened carefully to his teachings on meditation.
Half an hour later, Liu Chaowu hurriedly arrived. Upon seeing Jiang Chen, he quickly performed a deep bow. The encounter at West Lake left a profound impression on Liu Chaowu; Jiang Chen's strength had astonished him. He was certain that there was no one in Huaxia who could match Jiang Chen's prowess.
"Mr. Jiang, tonight Old Master Chen, President of the Dao City Martial Arts Association, is hosting a gathering at Yan Gui Tower. If you have time, may I accompany you? With your strength, Mr. Jiang, you could easily serve as our Huaxia Martial Arts Association President," Liu Chaowu said.
