Just like that, Leng Jun settled down in the South Heavenly King Palace, and for the next few days, he only did cleaning and the like. Song Yuan saw that he was still too young, so he did not dare to hand over the heavy burden of the job to him. However, Leng Jun's performance surprised him, because in the past few days, he discovered that Leng Jun's physical strength was especially good. Whatever he told Leng Jun to do, he would do it quickly.

Seeing that Leng Jun was serious and did not slack off, Song Yuan was no longer disgusted with him as he was when he first met him. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would hand over a few Martial Skill s, just as South Heavenly King Xue Changfeng had said.

Strictly speaking, what Song Yuan gave him could not be considered to be Martial Skill, as it was merely some basic techniques. Leng Jun was very interested in those boring Horse Bow Steps and long and short punches.

Other than practising the Martial Skill that Song Yuan gave to him, Leng Jun also developed a habit: Every night, he would recite the chant that the tree cave Weirdo taught him.

Leng Jun realized that every time he recited those chants, he would always enter that mysterious space. Every time he washed his hands of the "starlight" in the space according to the formula. The bluish-purple light would also grow a little stronger. The "starlight" that had been absorbed would appear again when he recited the chant for the second time.

Every time Leng Jun fell asleep, he would start reciting the chant. After he finished absorbing all the "starlight", when he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the second day. Although he did not sleep the whole night, his mental state was especially good every day, and he did not feel sleepy at all. Leng Jun was a smart child, he knew that this was the effect of the chants the Weirdo had taught him.

Leng Jun was slowly accustomed to living like this. Even if he didn't recite the chants, his mind would enter the space automatically when he fell asleep, and he would then naturally absorb the starlight in the order of the chants.

What Leng Jun did not know was that this method, which was repeated every day, had laid a solid foundation for his future achievements.

Leng Jun still had a fixed job every day, which was to deliver food to the Young Heavenly King, who was cultivating arduously in the training room behind the Heavenly King Hall.

The reason why the Young Heavenly King had such a good impression of Leng Jun was because he was the first outsider he had ever seen, and one that was similar in age to him at that. It was just that since he was born, he had always received training from his father in the Heavenly King Hall. Other than cultivating, he basically did not know how to communicate with others. Of course, it was the same for Leng Jun. Not only did he want to be friends with Leng Jun, he couldn't let go of this Young Heavenly King's figure, and at the same time, he didn't know how to "make friends" with him.

Furthermore, Leng Jun's current identity was just a little errand boy in the Heavenly King Hall. He had already been trained in the Swordsman Residence until he knew how to keep his distance from his master. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to chat with Xue Qingfeng. Just like this, the two of them did not play around as quickly as ordinary children did. Instead, they always appeared to be unfamiliar with each other.

However, Leng Jun actually enjoyed coming to the training room to give Shaotian food. This was because he knew that this was the Shaotian's secluded cultivation location. He was looking forward to secretly taking a peek at the food and learning some things.

However, he was always very disappointed, because he had already come here many times, but there was never one time that he was able to catch up to Xue Qingfeng in training. Every time he saw Xue Qingfeng, he would always be sitting on top of a stone bed, staring at a square white jade plate with a worried look.

Leng Jun was very interested in that white jade plate, he had always wanted to see what was written on it. But it was unknown if it was Xue Changfeng's habit to be on guard, or if he had already gotten used to it. Every time Leng Jun came to deliver food, he would put away the white jade plate. This made it so that Leng Jun was never fated to meet his.

In the end, Leng Jun still encountered an opportunity.

On this day, Leng Jun brought food to Xue Qingfeng as usual, but when he arrived at the cultivation stone room, he did not see Xue Qingfeng. And Xue Qingfeng had seen the white jade plate everyday, which was perfectly placed on top of the stone table.

Seeing that the opportunity was right in front of him, Leng Jun immediately put down the food in his hands, ran to the stone table and looked at the jade plate.

When Leng Jun saw the jade plate, he couldn't help but be stunned. There were only two lines of words and a few diagrams on the jade plate.

Leng Jun recognized the two rows of words, but he did not know what they meant. Because those two lines of words were the same as the chants that Weirdo had taught him, they were all a combination of words with incoherent meanings.

Leng Jun did not think that far, because he was afraid that Xue Qingfeng would suddenly return, he realised that if he saw Yu Pan again, he would scold him, so he could only swallow his words and remember everything.

Fortunately, there were not many words. Compared to the chants Weirdo gave him, it was only about one-thirtieth of the original number. He had only read the incantation twice and was able to remember it all, let alone the fact that it only contained two lines.

After memorizing the two lines of words, Leng Jun did not forget to look at the pattern carved beneath the words. These patterns were much easier to understand. It was a bunch of little people holding swords. Clearly, it was a sword manual.

To Leng Jun, the attraction of this sword manual was much greater than the two lines of words he had read before.

Leng Jun watched with rapt attention, as though a small person was teaching him how to dance, causing him to forget his emotions and practice together with him.

After who knows how long, Leng Jun suddenly heard a series of footsteps. He then realised that Xue Qingfeng was back. He quickly put down the jade plate and rushed out of the cultivation stone room.

Because he felt a little guilty, Leng Jun walked out of the stone room with his head down.

Leng Jun thought he had bumped into Xue Qingfeng, and anxiously retreated a few steps to open up a path for Xue Qingfeng, allowing him to enter the stone room. However, he suddenly felt that something wasn't right, so he lifted his head to look at the person he collided with.

With that look, Leng Jun finally knew what was wrong. This was because after the two of them collided, Leng Jun did not do anything. Xue Qingfeng was older than Leng Jun by an entire five years, and his physique was much stronger than him. If two people were to collide, the one to be sent flying should be Leng Jun.

The reason why he had knocked down the person in front of him was because he wasn't Xue Qingfeng at all. Instead, he was a girl that was around his age.

The girl crawled up from the ground, while rubbing her perky butt, she shouted at Leng Jun: "Where did this wild child come from, he hurt my butt just from hitting me."

Leng Jun had just sneaked a peek at the jade plate, and thought that he had bumped into Xue Qingfeng, so he was quite scared. Now, seeing that it was a girl that he did not recognize, and hearing that girl curse at him, his heart was filled with anger, and he was not willing to be outdone, so he scolded: "Where did this wild girl come from? Don't you know that Heavenly King Hall allows no outsiders to barge in?"
