At Jiang Mansion in Xiaoyu Town.
The surface of the pond in the courtyard shimmered in the sunlight.
The soft wind gently brushed past the lotus flowers in the pond.
The dewdrops on the lotus leaves slowly dripped down into the water, creating ripples.
Jiang Ping was lying on a bamboo chair, with a parasol above his head.
A maid would pour him another cup of tea when his empty teacup was put down.
Jiang Ping was admiring the scene of his three daughters cultivating.
"Haha, haha!"
The three girls were cultivating under the sun.
S few drops of sweat slowly dripped down their delicate little faces as they cultivated with determined expressions.
However, none of the three girls gave up.
Jiang Ping couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
In the past, only Wan'er would be seen cultivating like this.
But now, Yan'er and Liu'er were catching up.
Ever since he brought Wan'er back a few days ago, they seemed to have been stimulated by something.
They would ask to cultivate almost all the time.
"I didn't expect Wan'er leaving home to yield so many unexpected benefits," Jiang Ping muttered.
Then, he remembered that Wan'er was already in the last stage of the tempering realm.
After her trip to the demonic wolf mountain range, her realm was now even more stable.
It was also time to find her a mental cultivation method for Qi refinement.
And it had to be a top-notch cultivation method.
The three realms of physical tempering, Qi refinement, and core building mae up the foundation of a cultivator.
Without a solid foundation, it was impossible to go far in the future.
The Qi refinement realm, as its name implied, involved refining the body's blood essence into true Qi.
One could release true Qi only at the refinement realm. At that point, one was only barely considered to have entered the path of cultivation.
The importance of the mental cultivation method was self-evident.
Jiang Ping naturally wanted to find the best cultivation method for Wan'er, so that Wan'er's unique physique was not wasted.
Also, Wan'er was his daughter, so he definitely wanted to give her the best he had to offer.
However, this matter could only be settled by the system.
Just as Jiang Ping was deep in thought, Yan'er suddenly became excited.
She felt something was happening in her body.
Her whole body suddenly became warm.
She didn't expect that a few days of hard training would really work.
Yan'er glanced at Wan'er from the corner of her eye.
These days, she was very different from usual and worked hard to cultivate.
It was because Wan'er had bragged to them a few nights ago that there was a secret between her and their father.
She would only share this secret with her sisters when they reached her level of cultivation.
Yan'er and Liu'er were jealous of Wan'er, so they began to work hard to reach her level.
"Dad!"
Yan'er finished another set of body tempering techniques.
The strange feeling in her body became more obvious.
She ran to Jiang Ping excitedly.
She shouted excitedly, "Dad, I think I have broken through!"
Jiang Ping, who was lost in his thoughts, instantly came back to his senses.
"Yan'er, what did you say?"
Yan'er saw Jiang Ping's shocked expression and immediately laughed out loud.
Covering her small mouth, she said proudly, "Dad, I said that I had a breakthrough!"
This time Jiang Ping truly believe that he had not misheard.
Jiang Ping did not answer but instead grabbed Yan'er's wrist.
A stream of true Qi instantly entered Yan'er's body.
It slowly flowed through her limbs, bones, meridians, and acupuncture points.
Finally, it returned to Jiang Ping's body.
Jiang Ping suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an extremely surprised and delighted expression.
"You're really good! Congratulations, Yan'er, you are now like your sister, a tempering realm cultivator!"
It was understandable why Jiang Ping was so excited.
From the point of view of the outside world, it was truly inconceivable to enter the tempering realm in three months.
But compared to Wan'er, Yan'er and Liu'er's progress was really a little slow.
Fortunately, they had finally entered the rudiments of cultivation.
A while ago, he had even thought of letting Yan'er and Liu'er practice other body tempering techniques, but it seemed that was unnecessary now.
Jiang Ping was overjoyed. He picked up Yan'er and patted her.
Yan'er giggled and her eyes sparkled.
She didn't think that after breaking through, her father would be so happy.
If she had known earlier, Yan'er would have worked hard to practice earlier and her father would be happy earlier.
Jiang Ping hugged Yan'er and continued to praise her.
Not long after, Liu'er ran over excitedly.
"Dad, I seem to have broken through as well!"
"What?"
Jiang Ping's whole body quivered.
What a happy day today! Why were there so many surprises?
"Come over quickly, Liu'er. Let me take a look."
Hearing this, Liu'er jumped into Jiang Ping's arms proudly.
Jiang Ping used Qi to check Liu'er's cultivation as well. The smile on his face could no longer be hidden.
He kissed Liu'er on her little face again. Liu'er was so happy that she couldn't stop giggling.
"You're really good! Now you are like your two sisters."
But Yan'er, who was also in Jiang Ping's arms, was unhappy.
Her elder sister had broken through a few months earlier than her.
Logically speaking, she should have broken through a few months earlier than her younger sister.
But both of them had broken through on the same day.
Then Dad would definitely feel that she, as Liu'er's elder sister, was useless.
No, she still had to make the best of her time and continue cultivating!
So Yan'er huffed angrily and jumped to the ground.
She continued cultivating without looking back.
"Dad, what's wrong with sister?"
Liu'er's large eyes were filled with doubt.
Jiang Ping looked at Yan'er who had left and he immediately understood.
Yan'er was one who was eager to do well in everything and as a middle child, she was sandwiched between her two sisters. It could be a headache dealing with her.
...
The sun gradually grew hotter.
The three little girls finished their morning cultivation.
"Girls, get ready for your meal!"
Jiang Ping shouted at them from under his parasol.
He couldn't bear to let his daughter continue training in the middle of the day under the scorching sun.
The three girls responded, but they weren't in a hurry to run to their father's side.
Wan'er knew that her two sisters had successfully broken through today, so she was also very happy.
She was happy for her sisters, but also proud that she had broken through earlier than them.
"Yan'er, Liu'er, I'll protect you in the future. I won't let you be bullied."
Wan'er placed her hands on her hips, with an expression that said, "I'll protect you."
But Yan'er felt even more uncomfortable. She snorted.
"One day, I'll be able to protect you too."
But Yan'er felt that her words did not have much credibility, so in the end, she added another sentence. "I can protect Dad too!"
When Wan'er heard this, she was a little unconvinced and said angrily, "Then let's wait until you become a big sister!"
"Hmph, just you wait and see," Yan'er retorted back.
How could she not understand what Wan'er meant?
Since birth, Wan'er was destined to be a big sister and this could not be changed.
So, based on what Wan'er's said, it was impossible for her to do it.
Then the more she had to do it to prove her wrong!
Liu'er stood at the side and blinked her big eyes. She looked at the two sisters arguing in confusion.
She really could not understand what was there to argue about.
Their father would definitely protect them.
She felt that the best thing was to hide in her father's arms.
She was happy to be a lazy little worm who received protection from her father!
"Wan'er, Yan'er, Liu'er, come over quickly!"
Jiang Ping waved at them again.
Wan'er and Yan'er reluctantly stopped fighting.
They snorted at each other and turned their faces away.
Boom!!!
The two girls had just raised their heads arrogantly.
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the sky.
The earth seemed to shake violently, startling them
