"Follow me to my room, I have something to discuss with you. I absolutely adore you!"
Groans of pain echoed from within the room. Xu Yan picked up the fallen chair and headed straight into the courtyard.
As for the troubled relationship between Uncle and his senior disciple, let them resolve it on their own.
Ten minutes later, Jiale emerged with a bruised and swollen face, while Master Four Eyes looked refreshed, clad in a clean outfit, and even his nosebleed had been wiped away.
If not for the swelling on his face, you'd never guess he'd just been dealt with by his own disciple.
"You brat, still not cooking? All you do is mess around. Why don't you learn from your junior brother? You're really embarrassing me!"
Every master scolded their disciple in the same way, even with similar tones.
Xu Yan, a carnivore, shared Master Four Eyes's belief that he should eat more meat. So, Jiale was tasked with slaying an old hen to stew for breakfast.
Soon, the fragrant chicken soup was ready, and the three devoured it together.
Xu Yan and Jiale, both young, quickly bonded. Jiale, while eating, even suggested taking Xu Yan fishing later for grilled fish lunch, which made Master Four Eyes furious.
"You scoundrel! All day long, it's just fishing! You go alone, and don't drag your junior brother with you. He's busier than you!
You complain when asked to practice, but get excited about fishing. How did I end up with such a disciple..."
Master Four Eyes felt mentally exhausted, and Jiale, too, had been scolded again.
After being reprimanded by his master, Jiale dared not take Xu Yan fishing.
After breakfast, Xu Yan and Master Four Eyes went to sleep, while Jiale went fishing for lunch.
When Xu Yan and Master Four Eyes awoke, delicious grilled fish was ready to be enjoyed.
The unpolluted grilled fish was delightful, and Jiale's cooking skills were excellent, comparable to Ren Tingting's. Xu Yan ate with relish, consuming three large fish before stopping.
Seeing his own cooking satisfy his junior and master, Jiale was delighted.
After lunch, Jiale began cleaning, with Xu Yan lending a hand.
"Master, the Great Master next door has returned."
After finishing cleaning, Jiale reminded his master. Unexpectedly, Master Four Eyes, who had been smiling, suddenly looked stern and snapped back,
"So what if he's back? Do I need to greet him?"
"Pfft!"
Humphing, Master Four Eyes turned to Xu Yan and said, "Come here, nephew."
Sigh... Same old story!
Jiale sighed and glanced towards his master's room, wondering what his master wanted his junior brother to do in there.
"Here is the essence of Palm Thunder. Take it and don't let me down."
Inside the room, Master Four Eyes moved his bed and revealed a hidden compartment. Inside were several aged books and a wooden box. Without guessing, it was Master Four Eyes's belongings, filled with gold bars.
"Uncle, don't worry. I won't let you down or disappoint your kindness."
"Just know that. Go read it, and return it to me after memorizing it."
Waving his hand, Master Four Eyes dismissed Xu Yan, fearing he might covet something else.
"..."
Could uncle have other treasures?
Master Four Eyes's stance, like guarding against a thief, made Xu Yan wonder secretly. However, he didn't entertain any bad thoughts. Content with obtaining Palm Thunder, he was satisfied.
Palm Thunder was a spell. Learning it wasn't difficult; the challenge lay in the prerequisites. Xu Yan was a natural Thunder Spirit Constitution. His qi was Lightning Attribute qi. Coupled with the Thunder Mantra and Lightning Thunder Fist he practiced, he already met the basic conditions.
So that's how it was. I was like using a cannon to swat a fly before!!!
After reading the essence of the Palm Thunder spell, Xu Yan realized how foolish he'd been, wasting his qi. He could have easily resolved battles without making such a spectacle and consuming too much energy.
After learning Palm Thunder, Xu Yan's control over qi improved even more. With a solid foundation, learning Palm Thunder was easy for him, especially with his system.
Seeing the system incorporate Palm Thunder, Xu Yan returned the book to Master Four Eyes and ran into the mountains alone.
He wanted to upgrade Palm Thunder and, by the way, upgrade his Thunder Mantra.
He first upgraded his Thunder Mantra to the fourth level, allocating the remaining virtue points slowly. Uncle Ninth's realm was higher than his, and he could easily see Xu Yan's breakthrough, but Master Four Eyes couldn't, so Xu Yan could confidently and boldly make the breakthrough.
When he returned, it would almost be a month later. By then, Uncle Ninth would only be surprised and not suspicious.

Ensuring no one was following, Xu Yan sat on a rock, summoned his system, and checked his basic attributes.
Naked is naked, but it's better than getting burned.
