Fortunately, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Yue's gentle voice came from outside.
"Young Master, I heard you've returned."
"It's Chenyue... I'm taking a shower right now, you guys eat first, don't worry about me."
Su Feng wiped his face, then leaned back against the edge of the basin, tilting his head back and comfortably closing his eyes to enjoy the moment.
"I understand, young master. We will wait in the dining room."
After saying that, the sound of footsteps faded into the distance.
"Ugh—really."
Even taking a bath can't bring me peace.
But that makes sense. Even if he gave the order, as the host, Fu Bo and the others wouldn't touch their chopsticks unless he showed up.
He disliked this unwritten rule.
However, it wasn't right to leave everyone else hungry while waiting for him, so Su Feng had no choice but to get up, dry himself off, change into clean clothes, and leave the room.
……
The meal was as plentiful as usual, and the cook even made two extra dishes after hearing that Su Feng was back.
"Young Master, I have already ordered two batches of medicinal herbs as you instructed. Here are the purchase invoices." Uncle Fu handed a herbal medicine purchase invoice to Su Feng.
It was labeled with various expensive tonics.
Ginseng, deer antler, and bird's nest go without saying, but there are also several other precious medicinal materials that Su Feng has never even heard of.
"Five thousand silver dollars is a good deal."
Su Feng waved his hand, handing the matter over to Uncle Fu. From now on, he wouldn't need to personally oversee matters related to purchasing goods.
He still trusted Uncle Fu's efficiency.
Chen Yue and Chen Xing, on the other hand, were immediately dumbfounded upon hearing the price of the supplement.
"Young Master, there's really no need to go to such lengths. My sister and I can just have something ordinary." Chen Yue said, biting her chopsticks, her face slightly embarrassed.
That's five thousand silver dollars!
It's money they might never earn in their entire lives.
Su Feng smiled and said, "As I said before, you don't need to worry about this. Just do what I tell you to do."
Besides, a mere five thousand silver dollars is nothing!
What was found among Qian Kai's belongings was already several times more than these.
After hastily finishing his meal, Su Feng wiped his mouth and stood up. "I'll go back to my study first. Chen Yue and Chen Xing, you two can come over later."
He hadn't forgotten his promise to Chen Yue a few days ago to write a cultivation manual for them.
Now that I've finished what I was doing, I'm taking advantage of my full energy to think carefully about what kind of extraordinary book I should write for these two sisters.
……
"Sister, I'm afraid."
On the way to the study, Chenxing kept tugging at Chenyue's sleeve, looking worried.
"Silly little sister, are you scared now? I told you to cultivate properly the other day, but you wouldn't listen." Chen Yue smiled teasingly upon hearing this.
Chen Xing pouted, "I was just busy, and I'm not as quick as my sister. After finishing the housework, I can still find time to study and cultivate."
When it comes to cultivation, she is naturally far behind her sister.
Although they were born of the same mother, her older sister Chenyue always managed to get ahead of her, making her feel ashamed.
"Alright, young master won't blame you."
Chen Yue gently patted Chen Xing's head, took her hand, and knocked on the study door.
"Come in."
With Su Feng's permission, the two pushed open the study door.
Inside, only a single candle cast a faint light. Su Feng sat upright at the table, one hand supporting his chin, the other holding a pen, writing something on a scroll.
The lingering fragrance after the bath, combined with Su Feng's naturally handsome appearance, made him exceptionally charming under the candlelight. Chen Yue was slightly stunned, realizing that her gaze had been a bit too greedy, and shyly lowered her head before following him in.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
"Come sit here." Su Feng casually pointed to an empty seat in front of him. "Wait for me a little while."
Seeing Su Feng sometimes biting the pen tip and sometimes writing on the book with shining eyes, Chen Yue and Chen Xing didn't dare to make a sound and sat quietly to the side.
After a while, Su Feng raised his hands and stretched comfortably.
"finished!"
"It's been a long time since I've written anything, so my handwriting might be a bit messy. Please don't laugh at me."
Su Feng chuckled, unfolded the neatly arranged scrolls, and handed them to Chen Yue.
"I'll skip over some of the more profound techniques and secret manuals, as they're a bit too advanced for you. If you want to learn them, you'll have to start with the basics. I've included some incantations on drawing talismans, setting up formations, and casting spells. Take a look."
The content was so detailed and exquisite that Su Feng had clearly put in a lot of effort.
This was also thanks to his photographic memory, which allowed him to integrate the scriptures he had previously learned and rewrite them in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
With the sisters' talent, they should be able to master it in a short time, which is also his goal.
"Young Master's handwriting is truly elegant." Chen Yue picked up the book as if it were a priceless treasure, turning the pages gently. Sometimes her face softened as she pursed her lips, and sometimes her expression was one of delight, with a smile in her eyes. "Compared to the Beidou Jing I read before, Young Master's summary is indeed too exquisite!"
It can be said that this book contains the essence of countless treasures, making it the essence of the essence!
"Haha, look at your sweet talk." Su Feng laughed heartily upon hearing this. "But you must remember, this manual is only for you to see. You are not allowed to let outsiders know of its existence, understand?"
Such a essence is something that many practitioners must strive for their entire lives.
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." How could Su Feng allow others to see the essence he painstakingly collected and summarized?
"Alright, let's put that aside for now. I have to go out for a bit. Chenyue, come with me."
Chen Yue, who was suddenly called out, was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't quite reacted yet.
"What, are you busy with something else? If you're not free, I'll have Uncle Fu..." Su Feng was speaking when Chen Yue's head started bobbing rapidly like a machine, and her voice rose a few decibels.
"No, no, no! It is my honor to travel with you, young master! I... I'll go and make some preparations first!"
With a blush, Chen Yue gently placed the book on the bookshelf and shyly ran back to change her clothes.
"Chenxing, you should continue your cultivation. The contents of the book will be of great help to you. With your talent, I believe you will master it soon."
Su Feng turned his back, gave a brief instruction, and then left the study.
"Phew—that was terrifying."
After Su Feng left, Chen Xing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was terrified that Young Master Su would suddenly check on her cultivation progress. If he found out that she had been slacking off these past few days, she would inevitably get a good scolding.
Fortunately, there is still time.
Even last-minute cramming is still cramming, so we can only try to catch up on the progress we've fallen behind in!
……
"That silly girl, she thought I couldn't tell."
On the crowded and bustling street, Su Feng walked along, teasing Chen Xing who was still inside the mansion.
He only needed to glance at them to know whether the two sisters were practicing cultivation and how they were progressing.
It's just that I didn't call him out on it directly, only because of Chenxing.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue, who was following behind, nodded apologetically, "It was my negligence these days that I failed to supervise my sister properly. I hope the young master will forgive me."
"How could I blame you?" Su Feng waved his hand and laughed.
Although Chenxing's laziness made him somewhat resentful, Chenyue's progress was truly astonishing!
Not only is his spiritual energy abundant, but he is also able to use it unconsciously.
Just a few days ago he was at the third level of the Essence Refinement stage, but today he has broken through to the fifth level of the Essence Refinement stage!
He was delighted by his rapid progress in such a short time.
If Chen Yue studies the scriptures he wrote carefully and practices them, he will surely be able to break through to the Qi Transformation stage in no time!
Excited to think about it!
"Young master, is there anything we want to buy?"
After wandering around the street for a while, Chen Yue's basket was still empty, and she asked in surprise.
Just then, Su Feng stopped in front of a herbal medicine shop.
"No rush, let's go in and take a look first."
Today, Su Feng plans to purchase some medicinal herbs for alchemy.
Different elixirs require different materials.
Some rare and precious materials can be used to refine powerful elixirs; the two are mutually influential.
"Oh! Young Master Su, what a rare guest! Please come in!"
Upon seeing that the visitor was the eldest son of the Su family, the owner of the herbal medicine shop hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Normally, it was the servants who came to the Su residence to shop, so the fact that the main customer showed up today surprised the owner.
"What kind of medicinal herbs does Young Master Su wish to purchase? Our shop has just received a batch of top-quality ginseng and lingzhi. I wonder if Young Master Su would be interested?"
The boss kept talking beside Su Feng.
Su Feng smiled and shook his head, "No need, we've already bought these at home."
As expected of a businessman, he really knows how to treat people differently depending on their status.
Knowing it was him, he immediately started promoting the store's most expensive items as soon as he entered, as if afraid no one would buy them.
However, it wasn't that Su Feng wasn't interested; it was just a pity that Uncle Fu had already sourced ginseng and lingzhi from elsewhere.
