--------------------------------

Wen Jing had never heard the name "Zhangsun Shaoyi" either in the book nor in the world he was now in. But since this was the only hint provided by the system, he had to check it out.

He trained feverishly every day. From time to time Jun YanZhi would come by Wen Jing's residence to visit the big tortoise. He was quiet and with little to say, sometimes he would also freeload a meal.

Wen Jing discovered Jun YanZhi had a few preferences.

One day, he gave the large tortoise a plate of the red cherry-sized spirit fruit and placed it on the bed. This kind of fruit was picked from the trees on the cliff. They had a very good sweet and sour taste and the large tortoise liked them a great deal.

Wen Jing stepped outside the door and then turned back. The red fruit had been completely consumed. The large tortoise stared motionless at the completely empty plate. Wen Jing thought it a bit strange and asked Jun YanZhi who was sitting nearby: "Why did he eat it so quickly?"

Jun YanZhi responded mildly: "Maybe he liked it."

Wen Jing frowned, gave the tortoise another plate, and went outside again. Peering back through the doorway, he saw Jun YanZhi pick up one of the red fruit and put it in his mouth.

To go as far as to snatch food from the large tortoise......

In the end, he found that Jun YanZhi very much liked to eat small fruit. He enjoyed eating anything between the size of a jujube and a longan, like that red cherry-sized fruit. If it didn't come from Wen Jing, he wouldn't want it. But as soon as Wen Jing took something out, sooner or later, they would one by one end up in his mouth.

Wen Jing sewed him a small bag. Filling it with small spirit fruit, he could hang it at his waist and take some out at any time.

Spring became summer and the weather turned hot. Jun YanZhi headed down the mountain on business and was away for over two months.

One day Wen Jing was in the courtyard cultivating 《Jade Pure Qi》. Around him, the spiritual energy surged as someone dropped out of the sky.

Caught off guard, Wen Jing jumped.

"Shi, shifu?"

It had been over half a year since he'd last seen Duan Xuan. As expected his face was once again covered with a thick unkempt beard, his hair was in disarray, and he didn't seem to have the slightest care for his own appearance. With an expression as cold and sharp as a knife blade, he tossed a manual 《Lesser Yang Art》.

"......thank you, Shifu." It was clear to Wen Jing that Duan Xuan wanted to pass on this technique and he promptly picked it up.

Without a word, Duan Xuan turned and flew away.

《Lesser Yang Art》was a top-ranked auxiliary technique that worked with warm Yang constitutions. Its purpose was to manipulate warm yang energy in order to promote fluid control.

Overjoyed, Wen Jing carefully studied the manual.

He had to admit Duan Xuan's strange approach to education had some effect. His comprehension was low, but six months of careful study of the merit law's difficult and obscure language eventually resulted in some improvement in his understanding.

The so-called aim of using one's own experiences to learn and study really left a deep impression and resulted in being more likely to deduce many things.

Strange to say, after this, Duan Xuan came every few days to inspect his progress. Although he only stood to the side and watched, Wen Jing was on pins and needles. He felt as though a drawn whip lay behind him and he dared not neglect his cultivation in the slightest.
