Deng Weixian slowly finished his practice, a surge of heat steaming from his body.
Every time he finished his training, the blood throughout his body would circulate rapidly, making him feel warm, yet at the same time, a trace of chill was hidden within, devouring the warmth of his blood and qi, slowly strengthening itself.
Deng Weixian knew that the trace of chill was the growing Ice-Cold Breath.
As his blood circulated quickly, his body felt light, his mind was clear, and the world in his eyes was exceptionally vivid.
This feeling was incredibly refreshing, but unfortunately, he could only maintain it for a moment after finishing his practice.
"Perhaps this is the feeling of the Ningxue Realm. Once I break through, I might be able to maintain this state indefinitely."
After practicing every night, the door to the Ningxue Realm would open a crack for him, allowing him to glimpse its magnificent splendor, enticing him to continue diligent practice.
"The allure of martial arts, how cunning it is."
Deng Weixian clenched his fists, filled with longing for a breakthrough.
Deng Weixians Godfather watched the energetic Deng Weixian from the side and couldn't help but recall himself when he first started learning martial arts.
This youthful vigor made him sigh.
He wondered when he had lost such an innocent heart.
Deng Weixians Godfather knew very well that the simpler one's mind was and the more dedicated one was to martial arts, the faster one's cultivation would improve.
If he could, he truly wanted to provide Deng Weixian with an environment suitable for martial arts practice, to see what realm he could reach in this life.
But unfortunately, this was the imperial palace.
The place in this world that tolerated simple-minded people the least.
"Rather than growth at a heavy price, it's better for me to guide him."
Thinking of this, Deng Weixians Godfather took out a scroll from his sleeve and called out:
"Weixian, come here."
Deng Weixian immediately walked over and respectfully asked, "Deng Weixians Godfather, what are your instructions?"
"In terms of martial arts, you no longer need my guidance."
"Just focus on cultivating and advancing to the Ningxue Realm; I will make arrangements for you afterward."
Deng Weixian nodded, indicating he understood.
"As for the matter of the blood fiend, I suppose you have already felt it."
Deng Weixians Godfather glanced at the earthenware pot, then continued, "Although your constitution is special and you can remove the blood fiend within the Linhu Essence Blood, it seems this ability is limited and likely only benefits yourself."
"But you must understand, even so, it is extraordinary."
"Because this means you can cultivate an Ice-Cold Breath far surpassing others at this stage. Do you still remember the effects of the Ice-Cold Breath?"
Deng Weixians Godfather said, then tested him with a question.
Deng Weixian thought for a moment, then immediately replied, "Deng Weixians Godfather once said that the Ice-Cold Breath can enhance the power of the Bloodthirsty Tiger Claw, and it will make cultivating Yin-cold attribute martial arts twice as effective in the future."
Seeing Deng Weixian answer fluently, Deng Weixians Godfather nodded with satisfaction: "You answered well."
"Next, you should cultivate diligently. Once you advance to the Ningxue Realm, I will arrange a suitable martial art for you."
Hearing this, even Deng Weixian could not hide his joy and immediately knelt in gratitude, saying, "This child will certainly not fail Deng Weixians Godfather's nurturing grace."
These were things Deng Weixian had never dared to imagine before.
Not only did he have someone to guide his cultivation, but all the martial arts techniques and cultivation resources were also prepared for him.
Deng Weixian naturally knew that none of these things were free.
Deng Weixians Godfather cultivating him was ultimately for him to serve him in the future.
But what Deng Weixian needed most right now was precisely these things; as long as he could become stronger, he would spare no effort.
If he didn't even have this much resolve, why would he have entered the palace? He would have died miserably outside long ago.
And now, Deng Weixians Godfather had delivered everything he needed right before his eyes.
No matter how steady Deng Weixian's temperament was, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion at this moment.
He understood that this emotion was irrational, but his heart had not completely turned cold after all, and it was ultimately affected.
"Haha, between us, father and son, why be so polite?"
Deng Weixians Godfather smiled and helped Deng Weixian up.
Deng Weixian was treated with such courtesy for the first time, and he was even a little flustered.
But a gentle force from Deng Weixians Godfather's hand lifted his body, and Deng Weixian stood up before he could think much.
"In the evening, you will continue to practice as you are now, but during the day, you need to pay attention to one person."
Deng Weixians Godfather said, handing the scroll in his hand to Deng Weixian.
Deng Weixian took the scroll and opened it, discovering that it depicted a beautiful woman with a captivating face and graceful figure.
Next to the portrait, her name was also noted: Wang Suyue.
"Do you recognize this person?"
To Deng Weixians Godfather's question, Deng Weixian nodded, then said, "I've seen her a few times; she seems to be one of the Royal Concubines in our Yan Qu Hall."
"That's right. Lately, pay close attention to this person. Observe her words and actions. After she is favored by the Emperor, she will choose close attendants. At that time, you must cater to her preferences and try your best to gain her trust."
Deng Weixian hesitated for a moment and voiced his concerns: "Deng Weixians Godfather, as far as this child knows, after Royal Concubines are favored, they all choose close attendants according to their own preferences. Some Royal Concubines even only choose palace maids."
Deng Weixian was afraid that Wang Suyue would not choose him.
After all, he also had things he wasn't good at.
With Deng Weixian's personality, asking him to try every means to curry favor with a stranger, the effect probably wouldn't be very good.
At that time, if the other party didn't choose him, wouldn't it be a complete failure?
Precisely because he knew his disadvantages, Deng Weixian spoke out his concerns nervously at this moment.
Deng Weixians Godfather looked at Deng Weixian's anxious expression and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements then; she will definitely choose you."
Deng Weixian only relaxed after hearing this. Then he studied the scroll in his hand and asked, "Deng Weixians Godfather, is there anything else this child needs to know?"
Deng Weixians Godfather slowly shook his head and said profoundly, "The less you know about her, the better. Just observe her through your own eyes. Don't even inquire about her in private, understand?"
Deng Weixian nodded, half-understanding.
This was his good point: he was obedient.
For things he didn't understand, he would never act on his own initiative.
"Alright, when the time is right, I will come find you again."
After Deng Weixians Godfather finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Deng Weixian respectfully bowed towards the distant night sky, then put away the scroll, tidied up, and returned to his room to rest.
After the courtyard became completely quiet, Li Xuan crawled out from the bushes.
"Why is Wang Suyue involved again?"
Li Xuan shook his head, shaking off the leaves on his head.
He remembered this Talent, Liang Chuchu's rival, who was not only as beautiful as a flower but also exceptionally skilled, performing a set of Wang Family Military Boxing with divine mastery.
Li Xuan still had a partial set of Wang Family Military Boxing that he learned from her.
Although it was only two and a half moves, it was incredibly fierce.
Moreover, Wang Suyue had great ambitions, and her future achievements were likely immeasurable.
"This Deng Weixians Godfather also has good taste; he quickly took a liking to Wang Suyue and wants to place Deng Weixian by her side."
Li Xuan nodded, affirming Deng Weixians Godfather's aesthetic judgment.
"But I remember Wang Suyue's family background is also quite extraordinary; her father seems to be some kind of general?"
He thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I just fear that this time, he also has ill intentions
