Chapter 17: Entering the Capital

“Heavens! Then how many years will my cultivation take?” Gu Lingsha was beyond frustrated upon hearing this!

“Who knows? Anyway, once your Summoning True Essence reaches the size of a cherry, you can practice the Art of Summoning.”

Gu Lingsha: “And what level is that?”

Feng Wurao: “Five, or six?”

Gu Lingsha: “Then what level have you reached in total?”

Feng Wurao fell silent—

After a long time, he finally raised his eyes to look gloomily at the little girl before him, who looked like a tiny wolf cub: “Your master is exceptionally gifted, so I haven't read this book...”

Gu Lingsha choked! She then grabbed the book in her hand and hurled it at him: “Feng Wurao, if I don't stop taking you as my master, I swear I am not human!”

That night, Feng Wurao fled in panic. Of course, before fleeing, he did not forget to use his secret voice transmission to tell his little disciple that the first Summoner of the Cangming Continent was created by practicing the Heaven-Shaking Art.

In an instant, Gu Lingsha obediently brought the book back. She flipped to the first page, and several lines of small, flowing script leapt before her eyes.

*Little Lingsha:*

*Master has matters to attend to and must leave for a period of time, thus I grant you this book, the "Heaven-Shaking Art." Combined with the special abilities within your body, this book will surely allow you to achieve twice the result with half the effort. I hope you practice diligently...*

In the middle, there were some essential points to note when practicing the Heaven-Shaking Art, and of course, some mental cultivation methods. But for some reason, Gu Lingsha’s gaze fell directly upon the bottom left corner of the page.

Sure enough, the signature consisted of three elegant and exquisitely beautiful characters in Duan-Yun small regular script: Feng Wurao!

Feng Wurao...

For no reason, Gu Lingsha froze slightly, and her eyes narrowed as she looked toward the windowsill, which still carried a faint scent of sandalwood.

The exact same three characters. As expected, he was the God-level Summoner of Nanzhao from four hundred years ago—Feng Wurao!

But why were people from four hundred years ago still alive? Not only were they alive, but they were also so young. Could it be that this Art of Summoning could even grant immortality?

As soon as she thought of this, a green light flashed in her eyes. She quickly grabbed the "Heaven-Shaking Art" and began to read it hungrily...

The next morning, Du Wan came early to wake Gu Lingsha and Gu Lingyu.

Gu Lingsha was doing fine. After obtaining the Heaven-Shaking Art last night, she had attempted to practice and discovered that as she recited the mental cultivation methods and allowed her will to move with her heart, a current of air flowed naturally through her body.

Later, that current of air followed her dantian and spread to her limbs and bones. Despite not sleeping all night, she actually felt much more refreshed than usual.

So this time, when Du Wan came to carry her out, she simply walked out of the courtyard on her own.

On the contrary, the pampered little Gu Lingyu had been wailing heart-wrenchingly from the moment he was woken up by his mother until now, having just stepped out of the courtyard! It was as if someone owed him tens of millions!!

“Oh! Isn't this Lingyu? Why is he crying so hard? Is he scared? If he's scared, then sister-in-law from the concubine's branch shouldn't bring him along!”

Just then, He Lingzhi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family's main line from the East Gate, walked out carrying her precious son. Seeing Gu Lingyu crying so miserably, she spoke with sarcasm.

Du Wan had always harbored fear toward the main line of the Gu family in the East Courtyard. Hearing He Lingzhi speak like this, she immediately pulled the wailing Gu Lingyu into her arms: “Eldest Sister-in-law misunderstands. My Yu'er just didn't sleep well.”

“Didn't sleep well? My Bao'er is even younger than Lingyu, yet I don't see him failing to sleep well. Sister-in-law, do you even know how to raise a child?”

Ultimately, He Lingzhi still held a grudge over the embarrassment the twins had caused her during the Gu family twins' full-month banquet, so her words were exceptionally acerbic at this moment.

Du Wan was naturally timid and was no match for He Lingzhi. After just one sentence, her eyes immediately turned red.
