Soon, a group of people arrived before Nannan, who was still groggy from sleep.
The little one was clearly not awake yet, looking at the group with a bewildered expression.
"To the backyard."
Ying Chen picked up Nannan like a chick and walked directly to the backyard.
The others followed closely.
As Elder Guo stepped into the backyard, he instantly trembled all over, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"This is... spiritual energy?"
"Impossible, impossible, how could there be a place so rich in spiritual energy? It's like... a heavenly court!"
Elder Guo took a deep breath, his face showing increasing shock.
And it wasn't just Elder Guo; even Min Ziqing's eyes were wide open.
"I've been to Shouyang Mountain many times, how come I never knew the air at the summit was so fresh? No, it's beyond fresh, it's reached the level of... immortal energy!"
"Yes, it's immortal energy! I finally understand why ancient books describe immortals as eating wind and drinking dew. Because this kind of immortal energy is indeed more nutritious than grains! Just a light breath makes one feel full of vitality and energy!"
Min Ziqing said with a look of intoxication.
Nannan, meanwhile, gestured with her hands, giving a precise definition to Min Ziqing's ignorant behavior.
"Country bumpkin uncle."
"You little brat, how dare you insult your uncle? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, who do you think is the country bumpkin? Wait, that's not right, how do you know the word 'country bumpkin'? Confess, did you steal your mom's phone to watch Douyin again?"
Min Ziqing immediately caught the crucial point and reported her.
Min Ziqiong's face immediately darkened, and she grabbed Nannan's ear: "I knew why my Douyin usage time has been off lately! So you were secretly watching!"
"Uncle is a bad guy!" Nannan was furious and gestured indignantly, "Nannan won't talk to you anymore!"
"Alright sister, this is important, focus on the important matters," Min Ziqing said quickly, afraid Nannan would really ignore him.
Min Ziqiong then released Nannan's ear.
She led Nannan to the cushion where she usually meditated.
Elder Guo was still observing the surroundings.
"Immortal Master Ying, in my opinion, the spiritual energy here is not naturally generated, is it? Did you set up a great formation here?"
Elder Guo, with his experience, immediately saw the problem.
Ying Chen was not one for lengthy explanations. With a casual wave of his hand.
The entire backyard was instantly filled with mist, and the ground churned.
A giant bone snake slowly emerged from the ground, its massive head raised to the sky, its empty eyes seeming to burn with two flames as it silently stared at everyone!
This scene stunned everyone.
Especially the Min Ziqiong siblings.
They both instinctively took two steps back.
Nannan, however, remained unfazed. She even affectionately reached out her palm and placed it on the bone snake's head.
The bone snake lowered its head, allowing Nannan to pet it.
It was evident that Nannan was not seeing the bone snake for the first time!
"Is this... the Xuan Yin Hook Snake from the back mountain of the Shennong Sect?" Elder Guo's eyes flashed as he recognized the bone snake's origin!
Ying Chen nodded: "Precisely."
Elder Guo circled the bone snake, sighing repeatedly: "Masterful craftsmanship, masterful craftsmanship! Who would have thought that a dead snake could be transformed by Immortal Master Ying from decay to marvel, becoming the guardian spirit of the great formation!"
"No, not just a guardian spirit, but the cornerstone of the great formation! The core of the great formation! No wonder Immortal Master Ying specifically requested the snake bones be transported back to Jianghai at the time. It turns out you had this plan from the very beginning!"
"With such a great formation, and such abundant spiritual energy, Nannan's cultivation realm will not be a thousand miles a day, but at least it will be twice as effective, right? I think I underestimated Nannan's visualization realm before. Nannan should be at least in the Engraving realm now!"
Elder Guo immediately corrected his guess about Nannan's realm.
Ying Chen smiled and said nothing, merely waving for the bone snake to recede into the ground.
Then he said to Nannan, "Nannan, you can begin your cultivation for today."
"And let this Grandpa Guo witness your visualization realm."
Nannan nodded obediently.
She then sat on the cushion, closed her eyes, and began to meditate and visualize.
As Nannan visualized, a faint glow instantly emanated from her body.
This light thinly enfolded Nannan, like a veil, making her appear sacred and solemn.
Seeing this light, Elder Guo's body trembled, and he blurted out: "This is... Tai Guang?"
"Are you teaching Nannan the Fetal Respiration Visualization Method?"
Upon receiving Ying Chen's affirmation, Elder Guo's shock intensified: "A genius, a true genius! Historically, very few have been able to cultivate Tai Guang using the Fetal Respiration Visualization Method!"
"Almost without exception, they all grew into top experts later!"
"Doesn't this mean Nannan also has such potential?"
Unexpectedly, Ying Chen did not seem to agree with Elder Guo's words, but instead signaled for Elder Guo to wait and see.
Elder Guo, with a look of doubt, patiently continued to observe Nannan.
Tai Guang was already terrifying enough, could Nannan have other frightening manifestations?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Elder Guo quickly banished this thought from his mind.
Although the Fetal Respiration Visualization Method was simple to learn, it was extremely difficult to master.
Cultivating Tai Guang was already the highest level he knew.
Beyond that, Elder Guo dared not imagine!
The more he felt nothing further would happen, the more it would.
In just a few breaths, Nannan's body changed again!
What was previously just a faint layer of Tai Guang around her now transformed into a phantom outline appearing on her body!
Vaguely visible, it resembled the shape of a fetus!
Those who didn't understand would think Nannan's soul had left her body and appeared before everyone!
But those who understood would know at a glance: this was not soul departure!
It was another realm of the Fetal Respiration Visualization Method!
"Hiss!"
Elder Guo gasped, his face instantly turning pale.
"Terrifying, truly terrifying... How could such a bizarre thing appear?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Golden Fetus Yang Shen recorded in ancient texts? Which is the ultimate stage of the Fetal Respiration Visualization Method!"
"And it has also reached the highest realm within the visualization realm—Dharma Appearance!"
"My God, I can't do it, I can't do it, I need a moment to recover..."
Elder Guo held his forehead with his hand, looking as if he was about to faint from shock, and said.
He had prepared himself psychologically, guessing that Nannan's realm would be high.
But who would have thought that his psychological preparation was still not enough!
Nannan had directly broken through his psychological defenses, making him question life itself!
Although the Golden Fetus Yang Shen that Nannan currently displayed was only a nascent form, it could not conceal Nannan's heaven-defying cultivation talent!
Elder Guo felt that only two words could describe Nannan: a monster!
And in the next moment, Elder Guo thought of a problem.
If the disciple was already such a monster, then how monstrous was Ying Chen, her master?
