Chapter Six Hundred and Ninety-Eight
Bai Susu hastily changed the subject, "Xiaoshan, why did fire burst from your hands just now? What was that? Could it be that you are a Celestial?"
Long Xiaoshan replied with a gentle smile, "Of course I'm not a Celestial. That was a Spell, which can only be used by those who have cultivated True Qi."
"True Qi, could it be the martial arts you spoke of?" Bai Susu asked.
Long Xiaoshan shook his head, "No, they're different…"
Long Xiaoshan briefly explained the differences between Xuan Gate Cultivators and Martial Artists.
Simply put, one is like a Mage in a game, skilled in magical arts, while the other is like a warrior, skilled in melee combat.
Of course, Xuan Gate Cultivators have an advantage over Martial Artists in that they can delay aging and increase longevity. Generally, the older they get, the stronger they become. Conversely, Martial Artists reach a peak period, after which they start to decline. As the saying goes, 'fists fear the strength of youth', although Martial Artists who have developed Inner Strength can significantly extend this peak period, their power will still wane with age.
"Susu Sister, do you want to cultivate?" Long Xiaoshan asked after finishing his explanation.
"Me, cultivate? I'm already so old." Bai Susu was disinterested, being gentle by nature and originally indifferent to such matters.
Long Xiaoshan laughed, "I'm not asking you to cultivate to fight or compete with others. Cultivation can help delay aging and keep your body in better condition, providing you with more energy to handle work."
Long Xiaoshan had already helped Shen Yuerong, Chun Tao, and Jin Lian with Qi-Refining, allowing them to step into the ranks of Cultivators.
This time, seeing how Su Wan and Bai Susu worked tirelessly, Long Xiaoshan felt even more strongly about the idea.
Cultivation isn't just for fighting bravely or fiercely.
In fact, the original purpose of Cultivators from Xuan Gate is to live longer and break free from the confines of the heavenly laws.
Speaking of transcending the heavens right now might be a stretch, but the effect of strengthening the body is genuine. Once they begin refining Qi, there's no worry about their health deteriorating from overworking.
Su Wan's health had suffered this time because she had overexerted herself.
And Bai Susu too, had fainted before.
In the future, the Long Foundation aimed to develop into the world's largest charity fund. There would certainly be a lot to manage, perhaps even more complex than Bai's Medicinal Materials. He didn't want anything to happen to Bai Susu.
Bai Susu spoke gently, "Okay, let me try. It's just that I'm old and my mind is not as sharp. I'm afraid I might disappoint you."
"Not at all, Sister Su. You're the best and certainly can do it, plus I'm here to help," Long Xiaoshan said.
With his current strength, helping Bai Susu with Qi-Refining shouldn't be a problem.
"Sister Su, how about I start by conditioning your body, allowing you to feel what True Qi is like?" Long Xiaoshan suggested.
Curiously, Bai Susu replied, "Okay then."
Time passed, unmeasured.
Su Wan slowly came to her senses, feeling groggy.
"So comfortable!"
She sat up in bed, stretched lazily—she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. Over the past month, she had been working under immense pressure, pulling all-nighters and studying hard.
It was as if an engine had run non-stop for a whole month without rest.
She had already reached the limits of what her body could handle.
But she didn't want to let Long Xiaoshan and Bai Susu down.
She bit her lip and persevered.
It had been a long time since she slept this soundly and felt so lively.
Her mind was a whirl of thoughts when she suddenly heard a noise from outside.
This was the President's office, so apart from Long Xiaoshan, there should be no one else outside.
Long Xiaoshan had actually left her inside, and now he was fooling around with a woman just on the other side of the door, and even brought her into the office. After all, this was her office. What Long Xiaoshan was doing was too much.
