For the next month, there was not much turbulence and life passed peacefully. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were diligent with their cultivation and they were progressing forward quickly. To hold the spiritual energy within their bodies, the two of them needed to open their Dantian.
It was a difficult and painful process and they were told to do it slowly. Even in their cultivation sutras it was mentioned that a cultivator should not attempt to force open the Dantian as it could lead to drastic consequences and even ending up being unable to cultivate was a possibility.
The method that Hao Ren used was to control the spiritual energy and have it grind away at the opening gate of the Dantian which laid above the stomach. Dantian was the empty space between the organs which created a pressure inside the body to complete the breathing mechanism.
In the past one month, Hao Ren had been going over to the construction site and doing tasks like welding, roofing and any sort of job that the engineer told him to do. At first everyone was surprised and the site was in an uproar but when Hao Ren showed his easy going side to the workers they began to accept him as one of their own too.
All this hard work allowed him to understand the mundanity of life once more. He learned about a lot of stories where the workers needed money and everyone had a struggle of their own. He did not step in to help any one of them specifically, but he enrolled their children in a school run by charity, and the elders received a free medical treatment plan.
He knew that if he did something special for one of them, they he would have to do a lot of things for all of them, but if he solved their general troubles, these people would be able to make something better out of their lives. This was why he created the foundation and it was doing a brilliant job.

Today, Hao Ren was putting on a suit under the guidance of his wife. Han Lingshi was dressed in a moonshine blue gown and she looked so beautiful that people might go on a war to win just a glance from her. The effects of cultivation on both of them were amazing. They both had a super toned body that could shame any athlete if they were to flex.
While Hao Ren was growing more handsome, Han Lingshi's age seemed to have paused. The shallow traces of crow feet that were beginning to show at the corner of her eyes have vanished. Han Lingshi nodded to him and said, "How are you feeling?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Just another day at work. Shall we go?"
The two of them held hands and left the room. Old Lady Tang and Old Man Hao were also there. The young man as usual greeted his father and left home. The lady took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Hao Ren had not talked to her in days now. The maximum interaction between them occurred on the dining table when the young man would ask her to pass something.
She did not complain because it was the same treatment that Hao Ren had to put up in the past. Han Lingshi had tired to be the peace maker between them but Hao Xinyuan forbade her. He understood his son, he would not allow any third person to effect his decision.
...
Han Lingshi sighed and asked, "How long will you give Ma a cold shoulder? Can you not see the pain on her face?"
Hao Ren replied indifferently, "Did she see it on mine? I don't want you to meddle in this. I have never asked you to treat anyone differently because I don't mind and it is your personal opinion, but don't tell me how to handle this. I request you."
One of the reporters asked, "Can we take a tour?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Just for the day, I will allow you all to enter and watch the interior but no cameras. I hope you all can understand the security risks."
The reporters were unhappy and Hao Ren said, "We will publicize the pictures after the entire campus is operating so please bear with us."
The people calmed down and after a few minutes of question and answers, Hao Ren called the professors and the military leader to pull the curtain that covered the plaque on the side. Under the applause of the people, the curtain fell to the ground and everyone saw a golden font which said, "Thunder Research Center."
The people were taken aback, because the font was made of solid gold and it was surrounded by gold dragons and phoenixes. The event kicked off on a high note and carried on like that till the evening.
The reporters filmed various sides of the external, and they also took the trip inside without cameras. The market was bustling and Thunder Technologies was receiving a lot of attention. This company had yet to go public, and everything they did was generated from their own profit.
Han Lingshi stood beside Hao Ren with a smile on her face. She answered a few questions about their relations and fed the reporters with good content.
While some were happy, some were unhappy as well. However, the couple did not care about it, and left the place after the event, heading straight home.
As soon as they entered the living room, Hao Ren fell to the ground with cold sweat covering his face and before Han Lingshi could react, the young man was drenched in sweat.

Dream's Note: From tomorrow I will be posting minimum two chapters a day, and if I receive a good response from you all, the word count might be increased. I have finally given up my job and can focus on writing the story, however, I cannot do more than two chapters because of my health issues and also the quality of the content.
In the past few days there has been a significant drop in power stones and golden tickets.
Guys, I don't mean to play the victim card but please support me so that I can continue writing. Also, tomorrow we will begin a new arc too. Thank you.
