"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
Just then, the doorbell rang, followed by a woman's voice from the backyard: "Is Li Dao home?"
The voice was familiar, and Li Dao instantly recognized who it was.
Lena!
“Continue breathing at the same rhythm as before. Master has some things to take care of.” Li Dao said this and immediately stood up and walked into the villa.
Wang Chao did not respond, as if he had heard but not heard, and continued to breathe according to the rhythm Li Dao gave him.
The three women were nowhere to be seen; they had all gone out shopping.
pat!
When Li Dao opened the door, he saw Lena standing in front of it, still dressed in the same outfit as before.
Trench coat, black t-shirt, pencil skirt, knee-high boots, black stockings.
"Have you come to deliver resources to this humble Taoist priest?" Li Dao asked.
Lena nodded.
"Then come in and let's talk." Li Dao turned and went into the house.
Lena also went into the house, her eyes scanning the living room furnishings: sofa, television, coffee table, plants, water tank, and so on, before she looked away.
After entering the house, the two sat down on the sofa one after the other.
"What about my share?" Li Dao asked bluntly.
"What else can I say? Of course, it's based on contributions. You and that monkey contributed the most in this war, so when the latest batch of resources came in, the commander asked me to come and give them to you," Lena replied.
"Hmm." Li Dao nodded, then continued, "What did you do with that Taotie warship?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we should do it the way you said before. However, the leader has been invited by Elder Huang to send professionals over to conduct research together."
"After all, as you know, China's scientific research capabilities are very limited. It is very difficult to conduct research across different technology trees. Even with a sample to imitate, it would be very difficult to create it without several hundred years."
"Rena said."
"I know," Li Dao nodded.
Indeed, China's current technology is at the 13-year mark, still some distance from the information age, let alone researching automatic solar energy conversion devices.
"Oh, by the way, the commander also asked me to ask you if you'd like to be interviewed by the China program?"
"In this war in Tianhe City, the higher-ups saw your potential and want you to step forward to calm the public's panic."
Lena continued.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't this interview be with Super Soldier Squad? How did it end up being with me?"
"After all, your Super Soldier Company is the only one with a legitimate official background. Wouldn't it be better for you to step forward and appease the people?"
Li Dao asked with a hint of doubt.
Lena shook her head: "I don't know the chief's plans either. Anyway, he asked me to come over and ask you. If you don't agree, then forget it."
To be honest, she couldn't figure out the leader's plan either. The Super Soldier Corps was clearly the most suitable to appease him, but he still had to ask Li Dao, which was really baffling.
"Yes, I will participate." After thinking for a few seconds, Li Dao nodded in agreement.
Since Ducao wants to expose his own secrets, he can take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top.
Lena nodded, but then seemed to remember something and took out a medal and an appointment letter, placing them on the table along with the resources.
"This medal is a special merit award you received for participating in the Tianhe Battle, and this is the appointment letter that Old Huang got for you."
"So, from today onwards you are an officer and can mobilize local troops to a certain extent, although only in special circumstances, it's not bad."
pat!
However, before Lena could finish speaking, the door creaked open, and three beautiful and tall figures walked in one after another.
Li Dao and Lena looked over.
These were Angel Ying, Angel Canxing, and Angel Yan, who had been away for a long time.
After glancing at it, Li Dao immediately looked away.
Lena glanced at the three women, then at Li Dao, who seemed used to it all.
Clearly, the three angels had been staying with each other for some time.
"Alright, I've completed the task assigned by the commander, so I'll be leaving now. As for the interview, you'll have to wait for the commander to inform you," Lena said.
"Mm." Li Dao nodded.
Lena glanced at the three angels in their various poses, then smiled and slowly stood up. She dusted off her trench coat and strode past the three women, leaving the villa.
Angel Ying, Angel Canxing, and Angel Yan glanced at Lena as she left gracefully, then looked at Li Dao sitting on the sofa.
However, without asking anything, having kept every detail of the Tianhe Battle's secrets, he naturally knew why Lena had come here.
They were simply there to pay Li Dao for his services.
Chapter 84 The Golden Toad's Lair
After Lena left, Li Dao returned to the stage of taking care of children... well, taking on apprentices in the following days.
Xiao Wang is too young and his values are not yet fully formed. While Li Dao teaches him cultivation, he also teaches him the principles of being a good person and how to conduct himself, trying his best to mold him into a good disciple with sound values.
It's worth mentioning that Xiao Wangchao has great talent. After a few days of training, he no longer needs Li Dao to guide his breathing and can control his own rhythm, which can be considered as a successful entry into the field.
The New Starry Sky Breathing Method, after being re-deduced and summarized by Li Dao, has become a special breathing method that can remove impurities, prolong life, and prevent illness and disaster.
The most unique characteristic is the development of a heart as fiery as a blazing fire, maintaining an unquenchable spirit like a star, which has a multiplier effect on cultivation.
Moreover, they will not back down because of setbacks, and will always maintain a positive and upward-looking mindset.
This is no longer just a breathing technique, but an indispensable method to aid cultivation.
This is something Li Dao only recently discovered. At first, it wasn't very strong, but as his cultivation deepened, his mood gradually became more optimistic and he developed an optimistic attitude towards things.
Upon realizing this, Li Dao immediately examined his body and arrived at this conclusion.
However, this is a good thing. With the help of the new Starry Sky Breathing Technique, Xiao Wangchao's mentality will change sooner or later, and he will not go mad because of the tragic death of his loved ones.
"Master." Xiao Wangchao finished his meditation and breathing exercises, his eyelashes fluttering. He then opened his eyes, which gleamed with a bright, lively light, and looked at the Taoist priest who was also meditating.
"Unfortunately, it didn't work. Let's try again tonight!" Li Dao's voice was light and airy. Then he moved his body, and his eyes opened and closed, flashing with a cold, dark light that quickly disappeared.
However, Xiao Wangchao's breathing method was in its infancy, with a subtle inner beauty and hidden wisdom. He could observe subtle things that ordinary people could not perceive, and that fleeting cold light naturally caught his eye.
Swish!
Instantly, goosebumps rose all over Xiao Wangchao's delicate skin. The bone-chilling cold shivered through his body, sending shivers down his spine. His gums ached, and he clenched his teeth involuntarily.
"Is your cultivation over?" A gentle voice entered his ears, and the coldness disappeared. Xiao Wangchao resumed his movements, rubbed his sore chin, and nodded to his master.
“Come here then. I see you’ve already grasped the basics of breathing techniques. Now I’ll teach you standing meditation.” Li Dao stood up.
"Standing meditation?" Xiao Wangchao asked, puzzled, but he still walked over.
Li Dao nodded: "Yes, standing meditation, a basic exercise to help you coordinate your body and will be helpful for your future cultivation."
Xiao Wang nodded, seemingly confused.
Although I don't know what stance training is, since my master taught me something, it can't be bad, right?
"Then stand in the same posture as me." Li Dao stood in a strange posture, which was not like the stance in boxing, but more like the posture of an animal.
"Huh? Master, is this stance training? It feels weird." Little Wang Chao looked at his master, who was holding his legs with his hands between his legs, and immediately lost interest in stance training.
Master, actually, it's fine if I don't practice stance training.
"Want some rock candy again? First, get into the same position as me, and I'll explain." Li Dao said.
Xiao Wangchao had no choice but to follow his master's example and strike the same pose, with the two of them, one big and one small, hiding in hiding.
If someone were to look from a distance, they would see that the two figures, one large and one small, resemble a lurking toad, seemingly real yet quite distinct.
"Master, can I speak now?" Little Wang was precocious, so his strange posture made him feel ashamed.
"The stance training I taught you is a self-created stance training called Golden Toad Crouching Stance, which combines the stance training of boxing with the posture of the Golden Toad Swallowing the Moon."
"External training strengthens your muscles and bones, improves your body coordination, stretches and contracts your muscles and bones, makes your muscles and bones strong and resilient, and gives you explosive power that is different from your peers, laying a foundation for your future training."
"At the same time, it is also a stance training method that combines internal and external elements. The internal sound of the golden toad can not only temper your muscles, bones and skin, but also be released to shock the mind of the enemy."
Li Dao stood up, smiling, and said to Xiao Wangchao.
"Really?" Xiao Wangchao asked with a question, but his eyes showed determination. The feeling of shame because of the posture disappeared, leaving only his persistence in practicing the Golden Toad Crouching Posture.
"Practice hard, and maybe in ten years you'll be able to raid the Taotie's lair and take revenge." Li Dao sat cross-legged on the soft grass.
Xiao Wangchao nodded.
"By the way, when practicing the Golden Toad Crouching Stance, you can also practice the Starry Breathing Technique. The two are somewhat complementary." After saying that, Li Dao took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Yes, Master." Xiao Wangchao bit open the bottle cap, took a small sip, and when a warm current spread throughout his body, he immediately closed his eyes and began to practice the breathing exercises of the stars, following his senses.
Li Dao covered the nutrient solution and put it into his sleeve. Then he took out a dark, round, pill-like thing, which was sent by Angel Ying two days ago.
They said it was a Dark Energy Pill developed by the Heavenly King, with a concentration of about 20.1% to 20.3%, and a total of five pills were sent.
Because it was recently developed, the quantity is limited.
Li Dao had never eaten it before, so he immediately opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Hmm, this time it tastes good, very sweet, like candy.
boom!
As soon as the Dark Energy Pill went down, Li Dao felt a surge of heat in his stomach, like molten lava churning endlessly. His blood and qi surged like a rushing river, and he could even see the blood flowing under his skin.
His entire body was as red as blood!
"The effect is very good." Li Dao felt the surging energy filling his body. His blood essence gradually grew stronger like a river, and his Qi grew stronger as well.
An invisible and intangible Qi flows along the meridians like rivers from all directions flowing into a vast ocean, eventually converging at the lower dantian.
Cells, bones, flesh, and so on were all absorbing this dark energy, boiling and becoming active, making Li Dao's face as red as blood and giving him an inexhaustible energy.
“However…” Li Dao felt his body absorbing energy gradually becoming saturated, but there was still a lot of energy left, and his eyes immediately sparkled.
