98: Sister, you are his man.
Put it this way: even the incredibly powerful King Haoyue cannot manage the entire Dynasty alone.
He must not only develop the royal relatives but also recruit talents from across the world.
This has nothing to do with his strength.
It is true that he has no rivals in the entire Bright Moon Dynasty.
But the territory of the Bright Moon Dynasty is far too vast; if he had to do everything himself, he would be exhausted to death.
However, these were just Feng Ming's reflections; the most important thing now was to figure out what was needed for Acquired Physique cultivation.
Feng Ming hurried to ask; if the conditions allowed, he would certainly help his Family.
Lu An'an thought for a moment and spoke truthfully, "Physique cultivation is something that doesn't have a clearly defined path!"
"It's not like a Pill Formula that cannot be changed!"
"The main focus of Physique cultivation is to find a perfect fit for the individual!"
"Take Xiao Qian for example; she was born with a Woven Sword Body, nurturing the sword embryo with her own Qi. To upgrade her Physique grade, the primary focus must be on her Qi."
"In this regard, Father focused on buying Medicinal Pills and Beast Blood that nurture Qi."
"As Xiao Qian's Qi strengthens, her Physique grade increases accordingly."
Feng Ming roughly understood Lu An'an's meaning upon hearing this.
Acquired Physique cultivation is like a road filled with forks.
One only needs to determine the starting and ending points, but the ending points are not exactly the same.
Take Jiang Shuwan for example; if someone without a Physique is naturally suited for cultivating the Way of Cold Ice,
Then she would need to consume a large amount of cold-attribute herbs, Medicinal Pills, Beast Blood, and so on.
But there are many types of herbs, Medicinal Pills, and Beast Blood, and the effects of each are not exactly the same.
For example, if one consumes a herb that only has the Cold Ice attribute, then the Physique will develop in the direction of Cold Ice.
But if one consumes a herb that contains both Cold Ice and Water attributes, the Physique will possess both attributes simultaneously.
The primary attribute would be Cold Ice, and the secondary would be Water!
It seems as though you gain whatever attribute you consume.
In the end, couldn't one even eat their way to a Myriad Dao Body?
But that is not the case.
Because Acquired Physique cultivation consumes a massive amount of resources of the same attribute.
Furthermore, the further one progresses, the higher the required purity of the attribute. If too many attributes are contained, a situation arises where one cannot distinguish the primary from the secondary.
In the end, it fails to achieve the effect of improving the Physique.
Not only does it cause the Physique to stagnate, but one might also suffer a backlash; in severe cases, the body could even explode, leading to death.
In summary, nurturing a Physique is no easy task.
Otherwise, a great Family like the Jiang Family would have used it long ago, and everyone would have a special Physique.
But reality is not like that.
Someone like Feng Ming is an exception after all; his Chaos Body originated from the System's reward.
He has no lingering worries whatsoever.
However... as he thought about it, Feng Ming suddenly realized something was wrong!
He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment,
"I was wondering why that small sword had a woman's scent!"
"So it was her body... fragrance!"
"Good Anan, you must help me explain this clearly to my Sister-in-law. I really didn't know at the time; this can't be counted as me flirting with her."
Lu An'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Qian isn't that stingy."
"Besides, I feel... Xiao Qian likes you."
"What?"
Feng Ming was instantly stunned!
"No! You can't joke about this!"
"She is my Sister-in-law, and I am her brother-in-law. How could she possibly like me?"
Lu An'an's pretty face turned red upon hearing this.
"Who is your Sister-in-law? I haven't even married you yet!"
"Xiao Qian is most obsessed with cultivation. Your strength is so great, so it's expected that she would like you."
"But these are just my guesses; I just feel like she's been deliberately avoiding us lately."
Feng Ming hadn't noticed before, but now that Lu An'an mentioned it, it really did seem to be the case.
Take the incident of smelling the sword embryo last time; given that girl's personality, she should have rushed out to hack him.
But she hid and didn't show herself.
Later, whether it was during the Disciple recruitment or when visiting the Feng Family, Lu Qianqian followed behind Lu An'an like a tagalong.
Now that they were returning to Qingyang City, Lu Qianqian was no longer sticking to Lu An'an and instead sat in a different carriage.
This was clearly abnormal.
"All of this seems to have started after your fight with Luo Meng. Of course, when she's alone with me, there's no problem at all, but when I appear with you, she seems to be deliberately avoiding us."
Feng Ming nodded.
When put that way, it really was true.
"Then what should we do now?"
"If this affects your relationship as sisters, that wouldn't be good. I can't exactly go and talk to her!"
Feng Ming was in a difficult position.
After all, if he went directly to Lu Qianqian, she would only be even more embarrassed.
He was afraid she wouldn't even see him in the future.
Lu An'an smiled.
"Don't worry, I know her personality. As long as you don't mention it, it'll be fine."
Feng Ming nodded, but then added,
"I indeed can't speak of that matter, but regarding the sword embryo, it was presumptuous of me after all!"
"Nurtured close to the body, it's like intimate clothing. I should still find an opportunity to apologize to her!"
Lu An'an nodded.
As a girl, there are always some private items that one minds others touching.
And Feng Ming hadn't just touched it; he had even smelled it. This was indeed somewhat improper.
Afterward, the two of them chatted about the shops in Qingyang City.
Finally, truly tired, they leaned against each other to rest.
Traveling is a very boring thing; especially after the novelty wears off, only sleeping can pass the time.
Time passed, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
The group was too large, so they camped in the wild for the evening.
Feng Ming was roasting meat around the campfire with Feng Mian.
Seeing Lu Qianqian appear, Lu An'an, who was nearby, gave him a wink.
Feng Ming understood and immediately walked toward her with Lu An'an.
"Elder Sister, Brother-in-law!"
Seeing the two of them approaching, Lu Qianqian's eyes were clearly dodging.
Feng Ming said, "Xiao Qian, there's something I need to apologize to you for. I didn't know that sword embryo was nurtured by you before. I was presumptuous; I'm truly sorry."
"I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
Lu Qianqian was startled, then looked at Lu An'an. The latter nodded, and Lu Qianqian's face instantly turned red.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Feng Ming quickly found an excuse to leave.
"You two chat; I'll go roast the meat."
Feng Ming left, and Lu Qianqian also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Lu An'an and said,
"Elder Sister! Why did you tell him about that? I'm dying of embarrassment right now."
Lu Qianqian touched her own face; it was burning hot.
Lu An'an smiled. "He is your brother-in-law; he would have found out sooner or later. Besides, when he's in the Lingxiao Sect in the future, you'll see each other often. If he knows these things, he might be able to help you later."
Lu Qianqian also realized at this moment that, indeed, with her sister no longer by her side, she would be spending more time with her brother-in-law.
"Elder Sister, have you figured it out? He is your man; are you really comfortable letting him take care of me? They say feelings grow over time; are you sure you're not worried?"
