Yesterday, I practiced a spear technique for Dragon Tendon Training. Since I was in a hurry, I temporarily crafted a long bamboo spear. Today, I purposely selected a better-suited bamboo.

The small bamboo chair and the Bamboo Proverbs given by Jiang Daozhen were all made with Purple Jade Bamboo. He Kao also found a grove of such bamboo deep in Gu Mountain. Yesterday, he even went digging for winter bamboo shoots and came back today to craft a bamboo spear.

Purple Jade Bamboo is incredibly resilient, and He Kao hadn't seen it elsewhere. He picked a suitable one, roughly estimated its growth years, and finally managed to cut it down at the root.

He broke a hatchet while cutting a bamboo and had to run to the Pugang Farmers' Market to buy a new one. Using the power of Divine Sense, he trimmed and polished the branches into a four-meter-long spear.

He cleared a small plot of land on a hillock and began practicing with the spear. The spear twirled around him, making his movements as graceful as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon. Unfortunately, no one was there to cheer him on.

From start to finish, He Kao performed the entire set of Dragon Tendon Training, feeling the churning blood return to calm, finally dissolving that inexplicable restlessness.

Looking again at the spear in his hand, it seemed destined for him. He decided to store it in the secret cave mansion.

The texture of Purple Jade Bamboo is so resilient, yet its bamboo shoots are tender and delicious. He considered digging up a bit more to cook with Gao Xue'e... He Kao remembered the dish he made yesterday and pulled out his phone, coincidentally seeing a message from Gao Xue'e.

Gao Xue'e asked where he was, reminding him that he had to work overtime in the afternoon.

He Kao replied, "It won't delay work. I'll make something delicious for dinner."

He didn't clarify his meaning, and Gao Xue'e misunderstood and asked again, "What do you want to eat?"

He Kao: "Something delicious for you."

Gao Xue'e: "What about you?"

He Kao: "Of course, I'll eat too."

Gao Xue'e: "What are you going to eat?"

Watching these two chat is exhausting; they don't know what they're talking about after half a day, but they don't mind since they're not chatting for others to see.

He Kao: "Only when the joint nodes are hidden and roots concealed, does the mountain not know the years. Overnight, with spring rain, the newly born delights are the tenderest tips."

Gao Xue'e: "Rogue!" along with a head-knocking and shy emoji.

What He Kao sent was a riddle, and the answer was "bamboo shoots." Where was she thinking? She even called him a name... It seemed she needed some good schooling!

"What's your view on my big aunt's family matter?" This was what He Kao asked Gao Xue'e early the next morning.

During dinner, He Kao had mentioned it to Gao Xue'e, but they hadn't had the chance for an in-depth discussion. At this moment, He Kao adopted the posture of a naive young man, seeking advice from the mature and wise female leader, Gao Xue'e.

Gao Xue'e had just completed a set of the Eight Pieces of Brocade in the living room, with her inner breath and movement rhythm perfectly harmonious, a faint sheen of sweat covering her skin, which was fair and rosy, exuding an appealing radiance.

External moving techniques and corresponding sitting meditation methods, these entry-level Foundation Establishment Techniques, He Kao had been teaching Gao Xue'e for some time, and she wore the Beast Claw Pendant at all times.

Gao Xue'e's physical fitness was already quite good, and her mental state had improved significantly. She's now fairly accomplished in practice, and the improvements in her physique and mentality were evident.

Since she has successfully established a foundation, it's time to consider whether she can reach entry-level. However, He Kao told her that he planned to pass on a special Technique to her, which had special requirements; after breakthrough Tier One, she should aim to reach Tier Two as soon as possible.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment Cultivation before entry-level is crucial. The more solid the foundation, the better. He Kao had some means to help consolidate her cultivation foundation, and he intended to use all of them.

What he wanted to teach Gao Xue'e was clearly the Insect Concealment Skill. Thus, he urged Gao Xue'e to keep the Technique cultivation a secret and not to tell anyone.

Gao Xue'e's physique was becoming stronger, her figure more graceful, her skin more toned and delicate, and she herself becoming more tender... He Kao, while watching her practice from the sofa, couldn't help feeling stirred, almost wanting a snack.

Considering time might run short, potentially delaying her work, he swiftly shifted his focus to the discussion left unfinished from the previous night.

Gao Xue'e took the soy milk He Kao handed her, sat down, and said, "From your cousin's perspective, she should actually go out and find a job to minimize parental influence.

If she finds staying at home perfectly fine, there's no need for such a move. But if she feels that staying at home to help her parents with business doesn't benefit her, she should consider it.

Remember, the main point is not what you think, but what she thinks." When serious discussion began, Gao Xue'e's demeanor immediately transitioned to that of a workplace elite.

He Kao: "After graduation, she worked outside for over half a year, but she was called back home by her father, who said that it wasn't reassuring for a young girl to be working out there, plus the family business needed help."

Gao Xue'e: "Did your aunt's family originally hire someone to help?"

He Kao: "They had someone before. After Xiaoshan went back to help, they let that person go."

Gao Xue'e: "So has the business improved compared to before?"

He Kao: "It's hard to compare simply—circumstances are always changing, and the business isn't exactly the same."

Gao Xue'e: "Then let's not talk about business types and external environments, just the internal situation."

He Kao: "It's quite a bit better than before, regardless. My big aunt and uncle both say so. Xiaoshan is, after all, family and pays more attention to the family business."

Gao Xue'e: "It's exactly because she's their daughter that they can use her to the fullest. If it were someone they hired before, doing more work with less pay and facing a harsh attitude, they wouldn't stay and endure."
