I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

The car moved along a cobblestone driveway, and Xue Jing looked through the window at the elegantly arranged scenery inside the manor, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the scabbard of the Crouching Rabbit.

"There's the stable, little junior brother, have you ever ridden a horse?"

Zhu Shanying pointed at a circular corral not far away on the grass, which had a row of wooden barns constructed, each pen containing vividly colored horses, and a servant was adding food to the manger with a big spoon.

"How about we go riding later? Just behind my house is the back mountain of the North City District, which is a great place for horse riding."

Xue Jing shook his head, "I can't ride horses."

Zhu Shanying's bright eyes were full of mirth, "Then that's perfect, I'll teach you."

Xue Jing initially wanted to refuse, but suddenly realized something, thought about it, and smiled:

"Alright, let's give it a try."

Zhu Shanying exclaimed in surprise, somewhat unexpectedly.

"I thought you'd be very serious, saying 'I'm here to train in martial arts, not to play,' and firmly refuse."

She poked Xue Jing's cheek with her finger and giggled, "It seems little junior brother you are more interesting than I thought."

The vehicle slowly stopped in front of the small square at the main house, the car door opened, and Xue Jing got out.

He glanced at the beautifully designed fountain in the center of the small square and asked Zhu Shanying, who had just stepped out of the car:

"Where are sister's family members? I should greet them first."

The main reason for coming to Zhu Shanying's house was that he needed a spacious place for martial arts practice, especially sword skill training.

Usually, the training room at the Hidden Dragon Dojo was a bit cramped, he could only practice basic sword routines.

The dojo was crowded with ordinary disciples, making it restrictive and fearful of accidentally cutting someone, not to mention being continuously watched, which was quite uncomfortable.

Luckily, the Hidden Dragon Dojo was being renovated, and Zhu Shanying said her house was big, allowing for unrestricted movement, so Xue Jing agreed as it saved him the trouble of looking for a new training venue.

Having already come, it was essential to greet Zhu Shanying's family members properly so as not to be impolite.

Hearing Xue Jing's words, Zhu Shanying shook her head, "My family isn't in Qingcheng, apart from the servants who take care of the house, I live here alone."

Hmm?

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"What, sister Zhu, are you some city lady from elsewhere here to experience rural life?"

Zhu Shanying pursed her lips and said, "That's about right... but the way you put it sounds odd."

"Qingcheng is where my ancestors started... before my ancestor passed away, he left a will saying Qingcheng is our family's Dragon Prosperity Land, and each year we need to stay here for a while."

"Two years ago when I moved to Qingcheng, I met the master and became his disciple, and for martial arts practice, I have settled here long-term."

After listening, Xue Jing fell into thought.

A small Qingcheng, yet full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Although he did not know the specifics of Zhu Shanying's family heritage, from her ancestor's courage to describe Qingcheng with the words 'Dragon Prosperity Land,' it was certainly extraordinary.

Besides Zhu Shanying, there was also master Li Qi, the 'Dragon King' who retired from Inner Ring City, and the specifics unknown, but definitely impressive Wu Youqing.

These were just the ones he had connections with, there were unknown others without connections.

"Sister Zhu's ancestor was knowledgeable, 'Dragon Prosperity Land' has its reasonings."

Xue Jing shook his head and spoke.

Indeed, Qingcheng was a hidden dragon's land, and the biggest 'dragon'... was himself.

Zhu Shanying waved her hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, let's go in little junior brother."

After speaking, she walked towards the main house in front, and Xue Jing followed behind her.

The black double doors slowly opened, revealing an entrance corridor decorated in a soft beige tone.

Contrary to Xue Jing's expectations, the decor of the main house did not aim for highbrow elegance but was quite homely, filled everywhere with traces of modernity aimed at comfort and practicality.

The entire house, apart from being exceptionally big, had a style that was extremely down-to-earth, basically devoid of impractical things like oil paintings, antique sculptures, or crystal chandeliers.

Past the entrance hall, opposite was a little living room, although Zhu Shanying didn't escort Xue Jing there, instead, leading him up the stairs from the corridor on the left.

"Only I live in this house now, little junior brother, feel free to wander around without any reservations."

As Zhu Shanying spoke while climbing the stairs, Xue Jing followed behind, their positions allowing glimpses to fall on the young girl's pert curves, highlighting a youthful yet deadly temptation against the contrast of her slender waist.

Xue Jing did not linger his glance but turned to survey the house's intricate structure and lighting design, etc.

"On the third floor, there is a pretty big swimming pool, little junior brother. If you're tired from training and want to relax, you can go there. Swimming there is very comfortable."

"Over there is the library, a lot of them are out-of-print books that you can't buy outside..."

Zhu Shanying took Xue Jing roughly around the house, introduced him to the basic layout, and finally brought him to the fifth floor.

The door opened, revealing an extremely spacious huge room, stretching dozens of meters at a glance, laid out with light grey rubber flooring, other than several load-bearing columns and some equipment, nothing else was present.

"This is the training room, little junior brother, you can practice martial arts here, or go to the courtyard, or directly to the back mountain of North City District from the back door, all are very convenient."
