Hao Ren and Han Lingshi both were cultivating and having the undisturbed time with each other. They came to understand many secrets of the cultivation together. One of the biggest secret was the fact that spiritual energy was similar to nature. This helped them master the movement technique, Cloud Breeze Steps to the minor success realm. The couple then moved on to practice fist techniques and sword techniques. Although they did not have any guidance, they both were able to analyze things on their own and help each other progress slowly. They did not expect themselves to grow into some over powering existence. However, some basic practice would allow them to save some time when they return home. An entire week passed and the two of them were sitting on the ground inside the cavern of the snake they had hunted. They had used up a lot of their supplies, and the space in their space rings had opened up as well. Thinking about it, Hao Ren and Han Lingshi extracted a total of three hundred seventy scales from the big snake, four pairs of big curved ivory fangs, four eyes, one spine, tendons, and the gall of the beast that could be used as medicinal ingredient. They also extracted the venom bags from inside the snake skulls and Hao Ren kept them with him as he had the skills of an assassin and this poison would come in handy in the future. The couple was sitting next to each other, gazing at the stars, when the lady said, "Ren, do you ever feel bored here? Don't give me the same, I am with you, how can I be bored answer like always." Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Why can't I? Is it not the truth? Living here, we do not have to worry about the world. We have a cavern for ourselves, the ocean is filled with a lot of sea food, and we can now even use the flames to filter the water." Han Lingshi asked, "Why do you sound like an introvert?" Hao Ren smiled and nodded, "I was an introvert before you came along." Han Lingshi was surprised internally but then recalling how humble Hao Ren was when she met him she believed him. She leaned to the side so that her head rested against his shoulder and said, "That means I am your savior." Hao Ren took a deep breath and chuckled loudly, "Yes, you are my savior." The two people joked around for a bit before they sensed the barrels trembling. Hao Ren quickly got to his feet and took off the lid. He found that the two beasts have finished absorbing the blood essence completely. The entire barrel was as clean as it might have been when it was first manufactured. The young man reacted quickly and took out the eggs from the barrels before putting them on the ground. Han Lingshi came rushing over and asked eagerly, "Are they about to come out?" Hao Ren nodded and said, "It appears to be so. I am not sure though." They could not store it inside their space rings to bring back home, and who knows if the older people would eat it or not? They picked up their boat and got in to head to the mainland. This island was considered scouted and this will become their retreat in the coming months. ... The older people had gathered together in the evening. Han Lingshi and Hao Ren had told them that they will have the dinner together. The moment the young couple came in the people noticed something. Han Lingxue skipped over to ask how the honeymoon was, Hao Ren told her a lot of things they did to take a break from cultivation. They showed everyone the pictures and stuff as well too. After exchanging pleasantries. Hao Ren said, "Yin, come out." A drowsy little snake crawled out of his sleeve and sat on his palm. The people were surprise, and Han Lingshi said, "Yang, greet everyone." Yang also came to sit on her palm as he looked around at the people. Gao Yue asked, "Where did you find spirit beasts?" Han Lingshi replied, "On the island. We fought a big two headed snake." They narrated the entire incident to the old people and Hao Xinyuan said, "It is indeed possible for the off springs to mutate or evolve because of the stronger nourishment. However, it is not entirely true that your blood tamed them. Hao Ren has the mark of the Naga clan on his body. This mark will emit a scent that can be detected by the snakes only. After the exchange of your innate energies, that scent has washed over you also, Lingshi. Thus, make sure you do not harm a snake if they do not attack you first in the future." Han Lingshi replied, "Yes, Father." Tang Zen said, "Lingshi, Ren, you have one week to arrange your matters here. You have been away from office so do look into that. After that, you will go through harsh training. Old Hao will teach you about tactics, and things to look out for. Old Madam Han will teach you etiquettes, and I will teach you combat." Hao Ren asked, "Is there no time to sleep?" Tang Zen shook her head and said, "You can survive for twenty days without sleeping. Do not worry about that, try to learn as much as you can as it will be helpful when you go to the spirit shimmer continent." So, the training was about to begin and the young couple had no idea what was about to happen to them. [I apologize, I messed up the update by mistake.]
