Chapter 137: Sword Cultivation? Lightning Cultivation?

About half an hour later, the vehicle entered a residential area named Flower City. It was a top-tier residential area with high-rise apartment buildings in the high-tech district of East Ocean City.

When they drove into the underground garage, Lu Qing woke Zhao Yanzi up, who was soundly asleep with her bag in her arms. Then, the five of them took the elevator up to his apartment.

There were two apartments on each floor. Although it was not as quiet as Zhao Yanzi’s house, it was still a pretty decent place.

Lu Qing opened the door and guided them inside. Hao Ren noticed the exquisite interior design of the apartment; there was even a water miniascape at the entrance which brought a very elegant sensation.

The living room was clean and tidy. Three large couches and a giant flat-panel TV were placed nicely in the spacious area. There were three independent bedrooms, a small balcony, an open study area, a kitchen, and a large modern bathroom. It was very luxurious for Lu Qing to live here alone.

It must have been very comfy for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to stay here too.

“This is my room, Linlin and Lili are sharing that room, and you and Ms. Zi can stay in this one,” Lu Qing said as he pointed at each room.

Zhao Yanzi was still a little drowsy with the bag in her arms, but she immediately blushed when she heard Lu Qing’s words. “I’m not sleeping in the same room as him!”

Lu Qing laughed. “Then, Gongzi Hao will probably have to stay on the couch.”

“No problem.” Hao Ren nodded.

The couches in Lu Qing’s living room were even bigger than the ones at Zhao Yanzi’s place, so there was definitely enough space for him to sleep on.

“Ms. Zi, you must be tired. Please take a shower and go to bed,” Lu Qing said to Zhao Yanzi.

“Um…” She threw her backpack into the room and took her other bag with toiletries and pajamas into the bathroom.

“Linlin, Lili, and Hao Ren; You guys should rest too after you shower.” Lu Qing said before going back to his room to work on some other things.

“Go rest now. You guys don’t have to keep me company,” Hao Ren said to the twins.

“Ok…” the sisters answered in their clear and melodious voices at the same time before they went back to their room hand in hand. Their heads were close together as they were busy talking to each other.

“They are so close…” Hao Ren sighed as he watched them leave. Then, he sat on the couch with his legs crossed and started to cultivate the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.

Hao Ren felt more Nature Essence in here than the outside. All the five elements were abundant, especially the water element.

He opened his eyes to check out the decor of the room. The more he looked, the more ingenious it appeared to him. Every single thing in the room was there for a reason. The miniascape at the entrance, in particular, functioned as the core of the water element. From there, the water elements gathered in the living room through the structure of the apartment.

The array formation here was more substantial than the one at Zhao Yanzi’s house. The couch and the tea table were all of the enormous sizes; it looked like it was a usual meeting place for the Elders.

Hao Ren wasn’t able to figure out the profound theory of the array formation after some thinking, so he closed his eyes again and started to absorb the five elements in the room.

The key to cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was to gather all five elements at the same time. Any imbalance would cause failure in leveling up. Because of this, if the elements were to be absorbed at the same time with the same speed, Hao Ren’s realm would be very stable.

The five elements could benefit and counter one another at the same time. The advantage of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was that other techniques wouldn’t be able to counter it in the later stages of cultivation, but it was able to counter other techniques.

However, a technique like this was extremely difficult to cultivate. Some might say that it was an ‘idealized technique’ which could never be adequately cultivated. The initial stages of it were unbearably slow. Therefore, most cultivators would have given up on it long before the benefits could be realized.

However, in Zhao Guang and the others’ opinion, this technique could help Hao Ren build up his foundation. Even if he had to switch to another one in the future, it would still benefit him.

Hao Ren lost track of time, and he suddenly heard the door to the bathroom opening; it could have been half an hour or an hour. Hao Ren opened his eyes at the sound and saw Zhao Yanzi in her pink pajamas. Her hair was dripping with water as she walked across the living room into her room with her bag.

She didn’t even look at Hao Ren, who was on the couch, as if he didn’t exist.

Hao Ren felt ignored again and smiled bitterly. He stretched his arms and went into the bathroom for a shower as well.

It still smelled nice from Zhao Yanzi’s shower gel, and there were her small footprints on the tile floor and one or two strands of hair in the sink.

“She had made up her mind not to let me get near her, and I am only able to get closer when I tutored her. She still treats me as an enemy most of the times…” Hao Ren looked in the mirror and shook his head.

He picked up a brushing cup and noticed there were two toothbrushes in it; a red one and a green one.

“These must be Linlin and Lili’s brushes… How careless is Elder Lu? He has lived alone for so long and isn’t capable of taking care of people. He knows that I came with nothing, yet he didn’t think of getting a toothbrush out for me,” Hao Ren thought.

No wonder when Linlin and Lili first came, Lu Qing didn’t even think of buying them some modern clothes; they were still in their ancient silk outfits when they went to school. It was Zhao Hongyu who purchased the clothes that they had now.

Hao Ren understood that Lu Qing was very busy, so he didn’t want to disturb him with such a little thing. He picked up a toothbrush randomly and decided to use it anyways.

After the nice shower, he got back into his clothes since Lu Qing didn’t get him any clean pajamas to change into. He knocked on the sisters’ door. “Linlin and Lili, I’m done. You guys can shower now!”

“Ok! Gongzi!” they answered at the same time from within the room.

Hao Ren went back to his couch to cultivate in the same position.

It was either out of careless or something, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili forgot to close the door after they went into the bathroom. Thankfully, the door was facing their room, so Hao Ren wouldn’t have been able to see even if he had his eyes open.

“Ah, sister, it seems like someone used your toothbrush! It’s wet!” Lu Lili shouted from the bathroom, and her voice came into Hao Ren’s ears in the living room.

Hao Ren, who was in the middle of his cultivation, immediately blushed.

“It’s ok. It was Gongzi.” They didn’t realize that the door was open at all.

“Haha, sister, you are blushing! What do you call that? Oh, indirect kissing,” Lu Lili continued.

Hao Ren’s face flushed even more at the sound of that, and the Nature Essence almost went on a wrong track in his body. He had never thought about that when he randomly grabbed a toothbrush in the first place.

“You don’t focus on cultivation, but you pay so much attention to strange things like this. Saying that I’m for falling for a mortal being… I think you are the one who is falling for him,” Lu Linlin said.

Their voices sounded exactly the same, so Hao Ren could only tell one from the other from the context. He didn’t expect Lu Lili to be so naughty in front of her sister; she was always so shy in front of others.

They chatted and joked about Hao Ren, and he could hear everything through the open door.

They chatted as they brushed their teeth. Then, the two of them went for a shower together. The sound of the water could be heard when it dropped down onto the tiles, and Hao Ren gave up the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and started to cultivate the Spirit Concentration Scroll which could calm him down. However, he could still imagine the scene of the sisters showering inside.

After about ten minutes, Linlin pulled over the curtain in her green pajamas and shouted out, “Sister! How come you didn’t close the door!”

“Ah? I forgot again… Usually, when Elder Lu goes into his room, he never comes back out until the next day.” Lu Lili said before suddenly remembering something. “So Gongzi heard everything we said?”

Hao Ren answered in his head, “Yes, I heard it all. I even heard the sound you made when you played around in the shower.”

They sneaked outside of the bathroom and saw Hao Ren cultivating with his eyes closed. The girls walked over quietly and said softly, “Gongzi…”

Seeing that Hao Ren didn’t react, they raised their volume a bit, “Gongzi…”

Hao Ren opened his eyes and pretended to be confused, “What’s up? I was too caught up with cultivation; I didn’t hear you.”

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were blushing from their necks up, and the redness under their smooth skin suddenly faded a bit in relief when they heard Hao Ren’s words.

“Oh, nothing,” Lu Linlin covered her face with her hand and put on a straight face. “I just wanted to tell Gongzi that there are actually some profound secrets with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll you chose.”

At the moment, their faces were only about ten centimeters from him, and they both smelled really nice from the shower.

Hao Ren calmed himself down and pushed the girls back up with his finger on their foreheads. “What profound secrets?”

The sisters were both in green pajamas, and hot steam was coming off of them. Their bodies were in great shape, yet Hao Ren’s heartbeat didn’t speed up. It was all because the Spirit Concentration Scroll had laid a great foundation for him.

“Does Gongzi know what the purest five elements will become when they are mixed?” Lu Linlin asked Hao Ren.

“I don’t know.” Hao Ren shook his head as he wouldn’t pretend to know something that he didn’t.

“Lightning,” Lu Linlin said.

“Oh? You mean…” Hao Ren suddenly understood a little.

“The so-called Tiangang is actually lightning created by the gathering of the five elements. Gongzi’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is rather a Lightning Cultivation Technique than a Sword Cultivation Technique. It is not a technique of the Dragon Tribe. They may have acquired it from somewhere, but they have no idea that this technique needs to be cultivated with the Lightning,” Lu Linlin lightly smiled at Hao Ren and said.
