After they finished eating, Grandma took the gifts Li Xiang had prepared and went around the village, distributing them.

The gifts were all local specialty snacks like candy, chocolate, pastries, cookies, dried durian, and dried mango, as well as some special remedies like Golden Lion Oil, Tiger Balm, green grass ointment, and Snake Medicine.

Li Xiang had also explained the uses of each to his grandma.

Meanwhile, over at the scenic area’s shop, the three girls were also handing things out to everyone. There was enough for all, and the air was filled with joyous laughter, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lei Xiaohui also took out many things for her brother.

Lei Jiaming secretly sized up his sister. He felt like she had gotten even prettier. Curious, he whispered, "Sis, how come you’re looking so good? Could it be that on this trip abroad... hehe, you sealed the deal?"

Lei Xiaohui immediately rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Bro, what nonsense are you spouting? Brother Xiang isn’t that kind of person, and I’m definitely not that kind of girl."

In truth, she was looking good because she had cultivated Spiritual Power, filling her with vitality and making her slightly prettier than before. But in terms of real progress, Yao Yao was the most impressive. Yao Yao had already condensed her first Spiritual Power Vortex and awakened a Superpower. Not to mention, just the improvement in her looks and complexion alone surpassed both her and Zhao Xueqing.

’As for her figure... forget it. Yao Yao is simply a freak of nature; she can have any body shape she wants.’

Lei Jiaming gave an awkward smile. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Li Xiang.

After answering and exchanging a few words, Lei Jiaming said to Lei Xiaohui, "Brother Xiang wants me to go over. I’ll be right back."

Although he was older than Li Xiang, he still called him "Brother." After all, he wouldn’t dare call him "little bro." He knew who held the high cards.

Lei Xiaohui’s expression shifted, and she quickly said, "Then you should hurry over."

She wondered, ’Is Brother Xiang going to give my brother some benefits?’

Although she knew the Breathing Technique and still had some Spirit Fruit left, she didn’t dare pass them on to her brother without Li Xiang’s permission. Besides, she had heard Brother Xiang say that the Breathing Technique she cultivated was suitable for girls, which meant it wouldn’t be right for her own brother.

About half an hour later, Lei Jiaming returned, beaming with delight. He secretly found his sister and said, "And you said nothing happened! Did something happen between you and Brother Xiang? Otherwise, why would he give me such a huge benefit for no reason?"

"Can you stop with the wild assumptions? Nothing happened," Lei Xiaohui said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She warned him, "Don’t spread baseless rumors. Brother Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er are officially a couple. If Jiang Cai’Er heard this, I probably wouldn’t be able to stay here anymore."

"Oh, oh, got it." Lei Jiaming shook his head, his mood suddenly souring a little. ’It would have been great if it was my sister who was in a relationship with him. Sigh, what a pity.’

"Bro, what exactly did Brother Xiang give you?" Lei Xiaohui asked.

Lei Jiaming said, "A lot of Secret Martial Arts Manuals. There’s Palm Technique, Fist Technique, Leg Technique, Body Technique, Swordsmanship, Spear Technique, Staff Technique, and so on. He told me to have the guys under me practice them first, and if we don’t understand something, we can go to him. I flipped through a few pages, and they all seem to be incredibly profound Martial Arts, much more powerful than our Lei Family’s inherited arts. They’re extremely precious. I have no idea where he got them."

"Nothing else?" Lei Xiaohui asked.

"No. These are already very precious. We can’t be too greedy," Lei Jiaming earnestly advised.

"Mhm, mhm." Lei Xiaohui nodded repeatedly.

A short while later, Lei Xiaohui received a message in their small group chat. Li Xiang wanted the three of them to go over.

So, the three of them passed through the Moon Gate and arrived at the backyard of Li Xiang’s house. In the yard, Li Xiang took out many Martial Arts he had prepared beforehand, about seven or eight different kinds, giving one set to each of them.

However, these were different from the ones for Lei Jiaming’s group. The ones for his men were suited for men to practice—grand and sweeping, leaning towards the hard and fierce. The techniques prepared for the three girls, on the other hand, favored lightness and speed, using softness to overcome hardness, and were sharp and ingenious. It could be said that each style had its own strengths.

San Niu were naturally excited, each promising to train diligently in the future and not let their brother down.

Li Xiang glanced at Lei Xiaohui and said, "I also gave your brother and his men some techniques. They are all precious Secret Techniques. Let them practice for now. If any of them show outstanding talent, I will also teach them the Breathing Technique and grant them Spiritual Medicine."

"These Martial Arts all have their own intricacies. If they can master these skills, then even without the help of my Breathing Technique and Spiritual Medicine, when the Apocalypse arrives and Extraordinary Particles surge, most of them will likely become Extraordinary Beings, and their strength will skyrocket."

Lei Xiaohui thought about it. ’This is good too. In times of peace, you don’t actually need that many Extraordinary Beings. Having too many could lead to hidden dangers.’

Then she heard Li Xiang change the subject, "As for your brother, I’ll give him special consideration. I’ll let him practice for a while, and when the time is right, I’ll find an opportunity to pass on the Breathing Technique and Spiritual Medicine to him. Before then, please make sure this remains a secret."

"Mhm, mhm. Brother, don’t worry, I understand." Lei Xiaohui was very excited because from what Li Xiang said, it seemed he was giving her brother special consideration on her account. ’Doesn’t that mean... hmm, that I have some importance in his heart?’

Then another thought occurred to her. ’If I had no importance to him at all, why would he have taught me the Breathing Technique and changed the course of my life?’

Lei Xiaohui secretly swore to herself, ’I have to step up my Cultivation and absolutely cannot get discouraged. My looks are already inferior to Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing; if I fall behind in my training as well, that would be completely unacceptable.’

’Besides, I also know that cultivation can improve one’s looks. For any girl, this is a fatal attraction. After all, who wouldn’t want to become prettier and more charming?’
