After staying at home until after the Lantern Festival, on the sixteenth day of the New Year, Jiang Chen set off for the capital. However, before heading to the capital, he needed to make a trip to Liu Fei City.
Before the New Year, Jiang Chen had met with Liu Ying in Liu Fei City. Wang Shun Yuan and Gao Kang also wanted to see him, so they agreed to meet on the sixteenth day of the New Year in Liu Fei City.
Jiang Lu was graduating this year and was busy preparing her thesis. When she arrived in Liu Fei City with Jiang Chen, he asked her to stay for a day, but Jiang Lu seriously refused.
"Brother, I don't want to disturb you," Jiang Lu said.
"How could that disturb me?" Jiang Chen felt a bit perplexed.
"Brother, didn’t you say that your house is occupied by Sister Bingbing?" Jiang Lu looked at her older brother with wide eyes and said earnestly.
"Yeah, you little girl, you think too much," Jiang Chen replied, feeling as if his secret had been exposed by this younger sister.
"Hehe, hiding a beauty in a golden house," Jiang Lu teased.
"Nonsense," Jiang Chen thought about pinching his younger sister's cheek but stopped himself in time; after all, she wasn't his real sister, and some actions were inappropriate.
Seeing this, Jiang Lu laughed and said, "Brother, I'll take the subway to the train station myself. You go ahead and do your thing."
"Alright then, see you in the capital," Jiang Chen said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
After making a phone call to Liu Ying and arranging dinner for that evening, Jiang Chen headed to Tianyin Pavilion.
Lin Bingbing spent the New Year alone in Liu Fei City. However, she was so focused on her cultivation that she didn't feel bored at all.
For ordinary people, passing time usually involved playing cards, watching TV, using their phones, or reading books. But these activities became tiring after a few hours. Cultivation was different; once one entered a state of cultivation, it was possible to go days without food or drink without issue. There was a sense of losing track of time while cultivating.
Lin Bingbing had only been cultivating for a little over twenty days but had already made some progress. This was largely thanks to Jiang Chen's external assistance at the time, which gave her an enlightening experience. Now her cultivation felt like a natural progression; however, this might create limitations for future cultivation. Nonetheless, for someone like Lin Bingbing with average talent, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
"Jiang Chen! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I—I didn’t even put on any makeup," Lin Bingbing exclaimed upon seeing him and covered her face.
"It’s fine; you’ve been here absorbing Spiritual Energy every day. You don’t need makeup; you look radiant as you are," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Bingbing's face lit up with joy upon receiving Jiang Chen's compliment; she was happier than when she achieved progress in her cultivation.
"Of course! I have some free time this afternoon. Let me help you with any issues you've encountered during your cultivation these past twenty days," Jiang Chen said.
"Okay," Lin Bingbing nodded and began recalling the problems she faced while cultivating.
Now she could sense Spiritual Energy but still struggled to skillfully absorb it into her body to nourish her meridians and flesh. If it were Lin Yin instead of Lin Bingbing, with Jiang Chen's external assistance encouraging daily practice here, Lin Yin would likely be able to breathe in and out Spiritual Energy within ten days.
In the path of cultivation, talent is indeed very important.
In the Xiu Xian World, the various sects prioritize aptitude when recruiting disciples. However, even those with ordinary talent can achieve considerable success through hard work and guidance from esteemed masters, though their accomplishments will ultimately be limited. Effort determines the lower limit, while talent sets the upper limit.
Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Chen patiently answered Lin Bingbing's questions in the Tianyin Pavilion. As evening approached, Jiang Chen stood up, preparing to leave.
"Jiang Chen, can you take me with you? I've been at home for twenty days; I really want to go out for a walk," Lin Bingbing said, looking at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.
"Then let's go together, but I need to help you change your appearance," Jiang Chen replied.
"That's fine; I can just wear a mask. No one will recognize me. I sometimes disguise myself to grab a coffee, and no one notices me. Trust me," Lin Bingbing quickly responded.
Lin Bingbing was well aware of Jiang Chen's skills. Last time in Jiang City, he had altered her appearance along with that of her friends so effectively that they could walk down the street without anyone recognizing them. This method was indeed better than wearing a mask that concealed her completely. However, Jiang Chen's transformation had turned Lin Bingbing into an ordinary person. Since she was going to meet Jiang Chen's friends for dinner, she naturally wanted to present herself as her beautiful self.
"Alright then," Jiang Chen said without further comment.
"I'll go get ready and do my makeup," Lin Bingbing exclaimed joyfully before rushing to her bedroom.
It must be said that Lin Bingbing's makeup process was quite time-consuming. As Jiang Chen sat on the sofa in the living room waiting, he smiled and shook his head.
In truth, Lin Bingbing didn't need much makeup at all. Even before meeting Jiang Chen, she was already a goddess-level beauty. Now, after taking the Body Refining Pill and beginning her cultivation in an environment rich in Spiritual Energy, her aura had elevated even further.
Lin Bingbing could now barely be considered a cultivator; the aura of a cultivator is distinctly different—like a diamond among gravel, shining brilliantly under the sunlight and standing out remarkably.
At this moment, it wasn't just Jiang Chen waiting for the beautiful girl to finish her makeup; Wang Shun Yuan, Liu Ying, and Gao Kang were all waiting as well.
