Hao Ren was eating his breakfast and Han Lingshi was sitting next to him. She could see that he was not happy, but there was no other way to about this situation. Last night when they came home, Hao Ren fell on the ground with his forehead covered with cold sweat,
Han Lingshi was scared and she called Hao Xinyuan and Tang Zen to check. However, by the time the old man came, Hao Ren had calmed down. It was just a moment of pain that rendered him so helpless. Being a doctor himself, Hao Ren knew what happened just now.
Han Lingshi asked him what happened and he decided to come clear about it. Turned out, in the morning, he had forcefully tried to push the spiritual energy in a few pores and held it there through out the day, but when he returned home, he could not hold on and had to let the energy go back out.
The entire day he had been consuming a lot of stamina to hold it in. He was scolded a lot and he apologized with a promise to never do something so foolish. Hao Xinyuan told him that spiritual energy was not something that could be used in such a manner. This human experimentation could have injured Hao Ren severely.
Tang Zen looked at her son at that time and said, "A dragon is strong and proud, but what takes it down is its own arrogance."
Hao Ren was not talking to her, but she could not hold back and had to give him a concise advice.
As soon as Hao Ren finished his breakfast, Hao Xinyuan appeared in the living room and said, "Change into a proper adventure gear and leave. You have an hour before I personally dump you in some place you will regret."
Han Lingshi was anxious, and she asked, "Dad, can we not go easy on him?"
Hao Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Lingshi, it's not that I hate him. The reason he needs to work hard is because he was born with blocked meridians. They might have been cleared over time but his physique has other shackles as well."
Han Lingshi nodded, this path of cultivation was something they selected for themselves. How can they walk away from it? However, her heart was still not calm, the old man sighed and said, "Lingshi, why did you chose to cultivate?"
The lady was surprised, she had never thought about it. Hao Mei gave the manual to her, and she memorized it. What other reason was there? Hao Xinyuan said softly, "In the coming next month, ponder over the question, what do you wish to achieve by cultivating."
Then the old man looked at his son, who said, "I am cultivating to see the world with my beloved. To climb the peak with someone who can stay by my side and watch my back as I watch her back. I read somewhere, it is not possible to climb the peak of the tallest mountain on your own. You will always need extra rope and a handful of hope."
Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "You can drop me."
Hao Xinyuan nodded and took out a talisman. He gave it to Hao Ren and said, "This is the only one I have on me. You can tear it and I will appear there in five minutes. However, you will need to channel the spiritual energy from your body to tear it."
Hao Ren nodded and put the talisman inside his pocket. He picked up a water bottle from the table and said, "I am ready when you are."
Hao Xinyuan smiled and said, "Just a second."
He walked behind Hao Ren and said, "Next time you call me Old Boy Hao, I will throw you from the terrace."
Before Hao Ren could turn around, Hao Xinyuan snapped his fingers, opened a crack in the void before his son and kicked him in the butt. The push shoved Hao Ren inside the crack and he vanished from the place.
Han Lingshi was shocked and exclaimed, "Ren!"
Hao Xinyuan said, "Don't worry, Lingshi. This is a skill of a void transformation realm cultivator. You will comprehend it to increase your travel efficiency. He will be fine."
Han Lingshi was rattled, she was not yet used to all the bizarre things in the world of cultivation.
...
On the other side, the void crack squeezed and spat out Hao Ren thirty feet above the surface. The young man saw a water pond below him and yelled, "Old Boy Han!"
