Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1017 - 1013: Morning Cultivation

When the daylight was fully awake, Shen Siyuan returned from the Netherworld. After a night of travel, there was no trace of fatigue between his brows, but rather a sense of freshness.

Since he was no longer sleepy, he went straight to the balcony, greeting the first ray of morning light, and assumed the posture of the "Great Arhat Eighteen Forms."

This cultivation technique can temper the body, so the more one practices, the more difficult it becomes.

The high-difficulty pile skills and limb flexing and extending squeeze the potential of muscles, bones, and organs to achieve the purpose of body tempering.

Shen Siyuan concentrated, pinched a mudra to stabilize his mind, and then moved his body to assume the starting position of the fifth form, "Sitting Arhat."

Previously, Shen Siyuan was stuck at the first style of the fourth form with no progress. Later, after acquiring a large amount of merit, he directly used it to complete the fourth form and moved straight to the first style of the fifth form.

What seemed like a simple cross-legged sitting pose was actually a spine straight as a pine tree, legs in lotus position, hands forming a seal in front of the abdomen, and the muscles of the whole body were as tense as iron, with every inch of texture trembling slightly.

With every inhale and exhale from the abdomen, a flow of pure energy circulated within his body. Then, his body suddenly stretched, landing on one foot at a sixty-degree tilt, as if he were in a state of half-dream, half-awake.

With every movement, he stretched and squeezed to the utmost, with large ranges of movement that were extremely precise, without a hint of unnecessary sway.

A faint golden glow gradually emitted from Shen Siyuan’s body, not an illusion of the divine soul, but the steam of blood and energy transformed from his body tempered to the extreme, his expression solemnly dignified, perfectly matching the majestic and serene dharma form of the Arhat. Every bend, every exertion, was in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth, and his breathing held a profound mystery.

During Shen Siyuan’s cultivation, Ruan Hongzhuang quietly came to the balcony. She did not disturb Shen Siyuan and began practicing "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" beside him.

Soon after, Taozi also yawned and came out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the two figures on the balcony and was instantly half-awake.

She walked forward with a smile, without speaking, stood next to Ruan Hongzhuang, and began practicing with her.

The two moved lightly, like chasing the wind and catching shadows, their movements agile and ever-changing, swirling around like two breezes.

After Shen Siyuan led them into the path of cultivation and laid a certain foundation, they could practice their fundamental techniques while gaining insights into "Embrace the Wind and Sleep."

Otherwise, ordinary people might not achieve their current state even with a lifetime of cultivation.

For a while, the three on the balcony each occupied a spot, immersed in their cultivation.

After some time, Shen Siyuan finished first, his movements gradually relaxing, and the golden glow around him faded. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a mouthful of polluted energy, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down, creating a small water stain on the ground.

He opened his eyes, a gleam flashed within, feeling the surging energy within him and his increasingly resilient body.

After a moment, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi also finished together, feeling refreshed.

"I didn’t expect you two to reach such a level with ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’ during this period."

Shen Siyuan spoke with a smile, full of praise in his tone.

It wasn’t his guidance using merit, but their effort through their cultivation.

"Cultivation itself is a wonderful thing, and besides, we don’t want to be left behind on the path by you."

"Why would I do that," Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

They were just overthinking.

"Who knows what the future holds."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Taozi nodded, moving closer to Shen Siyuan, stretching her wrists and ankles, her bones made a slight cracking sound.

"I’m much stronger now than before, I’ll catch up with you soon."

Her innocence amused Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang.

Were it so simple to catch up with Shen Siyuan’s steps through cultivation, he would’ve wasted his time.

However, Shen Siyuan didn’t ridicule her, instead, he ruffled her hair, "Then you must keep it up."

Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she saw him coaxing her like a child.

"Okay."

Taozi earnestly nodded, looking obedient and cute.

Ruan Hongzhuang watched the two’s affectionate interaction, smiling softly.

But then she realized, this was not mere innocence, but a way to "charm" Shen Siyuan.

"Tsk~"

Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but tch, really "shameless."

"By the way,"

Shen Siyuan remembered something, and said: "My parents are coming today, did you tell your parents?"

"I called them yesterday," Taozi hurriedly replied.

Then, a bit nervously, she asked, "Did they mention a specific time? Should I drive to pick them up?"

"No need, my dad’s driving. But did your parents mention where to meet? Or should we go directly to your house?"

"Just go directly to my house. Should we go back once more?"

Before Shen Siyuan could speak, Ruan Hongzhuang immediately said: "Of course, you must go back once. This concerns the matter of you two, how can you not be present?"

Just then, Tang Tang’s voice echoed from the living room.

"Bunny hopping, bunny hopping, bunny riding a horse clink clink clank..."

"What’s she singing?" Shen Siyuan looked embarrassed, what was this nonsense.

"Who knows, she seems to have her own language system," Ruan Hongzhuang shrugged.

"Let’s go inside, take a shower and have breakfast."

Shen Siyuan led the way into the house, the two followed quickly.

Tang Tang saw Shen Siyuan coming in from the balcony and immediately ran over with her little short legs.

"Oh~"

She directly stretched out her arms for a hug.

"No way, I’m all wet from the sea," Shen Siyuan pointed at his clothes.

His entire outfit was soaked as if washed in water, clinging to him, accentuating his perfect muscle outline.

"Ugh~"

Tang Tang immediately took back her arms, disgusted, stepped back two steps.

Shen Siyuan: ...

Originally reluctant to hug her, he now couldn’t help but want to.

So he bent over and lunged at her.

Tang Tang turned and ran.

"han~han~"

She ran, hopping, incredibly cute.

"Here I come, here I come..."

Shen Siyuan deliberately quickened his pace, and the little girl ran faster, then dove under the table, hiding among the chair legs "jungle" peeking out. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You, teasing a child so early, quickly go shower and change clothes."

Ruan Hongzhuang lightly tugged his ear.

"Are you going to shower with us?"

"Dream on, hurry up, I’ve got to go to the office later, no time to mess with you," Ruan Hongzhuang said exasperatedly.

"Is there that much work at the company?"

"Ever since you and Ruan Ruan got married, business has boomed, can barely keep up, and the company’s expanded a lot," Taozi explained beside her.

Shen Siyuan realized the reason, just people who couldn’t get close to him, so they went to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Tang Tang crawled out from under the table when she saw Shen Siyuan not chasing her.

Seeing Shen Siyuan head to the bathroom, she followed, heading to the bathroom too...
