73: A book on business principles! Sprouting in the dantian!

Lu An'an's face grew even redder upon hearing this.

"You... how can you say such things? Have you no shame at all?"

Feng Ming smiled.

"What's there to be shy about? To love one another is the most beautiful thing in the world; you just haven't experienced it yet!"

"Take this!"

As he spoke, Feng Ming took out the merchandise path tree.

Well, to call it a merchandise path tree was a bit of a stretch; what Feng Ming took out was merely a brownish-black pill-like object.

Lu An'an reached out and took it without a second thought.

Looking at it in her hand, she gave a helpless laugh.

"My body isn't suited for Cultivate, and taking a Medicinal Pill won't have any effect. Don't waste it on me."

Feng Ming just smiled.

"Don't say that yet. Take it first, and then tell me how you feel."

Although Lu An'an didn't quite understand, she trusted Feng Ming.

She obediently swallowed the merchandise path tree.

Sure enough, a moment later, Lu An'an exclaimed in surprise.

"How can I suddenly observe my Dantian?"

"I haven't even Cultivate, and I have no Internal Energy. What's going on?"

Feng Ming laughed. "Now you know. This is the merchandise path tree."

Then, Feng Ming explained the function of the merchandise path tree to Lu An'an.

Lu An'an was shocked. "It's actually this miraculous? It can represent my progress in The Way of Commerce? I've only taken it for a few breaths, yet it has already taken root and sprouted, even growing three or four branches."

"Could it be that this represents my progress in The Way of Commerce?"

"The reason I couldn't feel the Dao before was because I hadn't reached the Perfection Realm?"

Feng Ming nodded.

"Of course, the Dao you walk is different from others! Your Dao is similar to those who attain sagehood overnight, but the process is a bit agonizing. Before you reach Great Perfection and the path tree blossoms, you won't have any strength."

"But similarly, once your path tree blossoms, your strength will soar, and you will definitely become a top-tier existence in the Bright Moon Dynasty."

Lu An'an's eyes were filled with excitement.

She understood perfectly well what it meant to fully master a Dao.

Although cultivators could master many Daos, there had been no mention of The Way of Commerce until now.

Not to mention being able to fully comprehend a Dao and reach Great Perfection.

Such a person would be a top-tier figure even in the Bright Moon Dynasty.

Her father was able to become a city lord precisely because he had fully mastered a Dao.

His status could even continue to rise; he was even qualified to govern half a province.

It was only because her father was tired of officialdom that he had repeatedly refused.

If her path tree blossomed, she would reach the True Immortal Realm at the very least.

"Young Master Feng, you are so kind!"

The more Lu An'an thought about it, the more excited she became. She hugged Feng Ming and kissed him directly.

Yes!

With a beauty taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms, what was there for Feng Ming to hesitate about?

He immediately went from defense to offense, hugging Lu An'an and responding passionately.

It was late at night.

There was no one on the road.

Their hearts already loved each other, and at this moment, they had no more reservations.

The two embraced tightly, inseparable.

They didn't know how long they kissed until the sound of a night watchman's gong nearby made them reluctantly pull apart.

Looking at Lu An'an's lips, which were already red and swollen, Feng Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still laughing? You're the same!"

Lu An'an said shyly.

Feng Ming took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and continued walking.

At this moment, the System's voice rang out in Feng Ming's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully doting on his wife by gifting the merchandise path tree to his wife, Lu An'an.]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a hidden reward: chaos tree!]

Hearing this name, Feng Ming was momentarily stunned.

Good heavens, the System's reward really did come.

Chaos Body, Chaos Scripture, and now a chaos tree.

Based on previous experience, this was definitely a good thing.

Feng Ming immediately checked it.

[chaos tree]: Similar to the merchandise path tree, it is used to observe the Host's progress in the Dao. However, since the Host Cultivates the Chaos Body and has tens of thousands of Daos within him, the speed shown by the chaos tree is the overall speed, not the speed of any single Dao.

[System Notification]: The chaos tree can enhance the Host's physique. The more Daos the Host comprehends and the deeper the comprehension, the stronger the physique will be!

It was just as he thought; this chaos tree was a good thing.

This was simply an invincible Body Refining Secret Manual.

For cultivators, one must Cultivate strength and the other must Cultivate the physique.

To put it bluntly, you not only need the strength to defeat others but also the ability to take a hit.

In other words, a cultivator must not only be strong in strength but also have a powerful physique.

Feng Ming didn't hesitate and swallowed the chaos tree in one gulp.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw...

Inside his Dantian, a seed sprouted.

It quickly grew its first branch, then a second, a third... but it stopped when it reached the fifth.

Feng Ming looked inside his Dantian and found that the power of the five Daos within him were like spheres hanging on different branches.

At the very top was the Way of the Sword; its branch was the longest, seemingly representing that his cultivation in the Way of the Sword was the highest, as it had already reached the entry level.

The second was the Way of Alchemy, which was about to reach the entry level.

Then there were the Way of Cold Ice, The Way of Commerce, and the Way of the Blade.

Looking at the five branches and five Daos, Feng Ming couldn't help but click his tongue.

He could feel that the feedback from the chaos tree to his physique was very significant.

In just this short time, he clearly hadn't done anything, yet his physical strength had increased quite a bit.

At this moment, if Feng Ming were to fight Huangfu Jing again, he could take a hit from the other's blade head-on.

This was the confidence that his improved physique gave him!

Feng Ming even felt that with his current strength, although he was still at the Foundation Establishment Peak, no one below the Fifth Layer of Golden Core Realm could harm him in the slightest.

"Ah, what a pity. If only it had come a bit earlier, my lips wouldn't have been kissed so swollen!"

On the other side.

Jiang Shuwan was in her room, listening to Chun Tao's report.

She was incredibly excited.

She felt that today's matter would be successful.

She had finally helped her husband and Sister Anan. Although doing this wasn't exactly right, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

These two clearly loved each other, yet they were so slow to take the next step. It was driving her crazy.

"This is great. After tonight, it'll be smooth sailing for husband and Sister Anan."

Jiang Shuwan was so happy she could fly, but she never imagined that Feng Ming, that sly one, would actually send Lu An'an back in the middle of the night.

However, she didn't know that yet.

Instead, she lay on the bed feeling wonderful, extremely lucky for her own wit.

She didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness or pain about her husband sleeping with another woman.
