Chapter 195 Qionghua Hall of Hualing Sect
Liu Fengyi was both happy and worried, just like Tong Linsheng had been when he found out he was pregnant. He was overjoyed but at a loss, and he kept finding things to do, not letting her lift a finger.
"Dad, is Mom... um, are we going to have another little brother or sister?" Tong Yuheng felt it was amazing, but at this time, there were still quite a few mothers who had given birth to eight or ten children.
"Hehehe, yes. Will you like them?" Liu Fengyi looked at his eldest daughter's expression and asked with some concern.
"Of course I like her! It's not like we can't afford to raise her. It's just that my mom works so hard. Wait! Dad, you mean him, them!? More than one?"
"Your grandfather said the days are still short, it's hard to say for sure, maybe two, maybe three..."
"Oh my goodness! I have to find a good prescription that can improve a pregnant woman's health!"
Tong Yuheng ran back to his room, slammed the door shut, and then went into the "Qionghua Secret Realm" to find something good.
Since obtaining this new secret realm, Tong Yuheng has also started cultivating immortality. The old space has gradually merged into this secret realm, becoming a separate area within it.
The original land and spiritual spring were transformed into a plantation on the outermost edge of the Qionghua Secret Realm, expanding to over a thousand acres. This plantation is relatively independent; without her permission, no birds or beasts from the secret realm are allowed to come here. It is very safe here.
She once went into the Qionghua Secret Realm to look for the "Qionghua Palace". Not far away, she encountered a huge badger, several times larger than a normal badger.
The thing rushed towards her as soon as it saw her, and it was so fast that it almost knocked her away!
Luckily, she was quick and turned to run. She was chased by the badger so fast she almost ran out of breath! Finally, she ran back to the original plantation, where the badger was stopped outside the barrier.
From then on, she trained every day in the place closest to the plantation, hiding her strength if it was too weak. The badger seemed to be competing with her, and would come to stroll around the plantation from time to time.
Tong Yuheng was also angry that the pig was bullying him because of his low cultivation level, so he would occasionally run out to provoke it. Thus, the two of them often staged a chase, which actually made Tong Yuheng's movements even faster.
Tong Yuheng: I never imagined I'd be bullied like this by a pig! One day I'll get stronger, catch you, roast you, and eat you!
The cultivation technique that Qionghua Yuanjun gave her is called the "Longevity Technique". According to the information she left behind, it is a technique without any attribute, which means that anyone can cultivate it regardless of what kind of spiritual root they have.
Tong Yuheng spends most of her evenings here practicing the "Longevity Technique" because she has discovered that after practicing this technique, her internal energy increases exceptionally quickly when she practices ancient martial arts mental cultivation methods!
She has been practicing this technique for over half a year now, and she feels that her internal energy has probably already reached the level of a high-level Martial Master. She's not in a hurry to register with an ancient martial arts family. If she quickly reaches the Martial Grandmaster level, wouldn't the Tong family be much safer after registration?
Now that Mom is pregnant with twins again, she's set her sights on finding the Qionghua Palace; there might be something good she needs inside. It's just a mutated badger, right? This time, she'll bring the gear she got from Geng Peiyan and shoot it dead!
She left the comfortable planting area and headed deeper into the Qionghua Secret Realm, clutching the jade pendant in her hand as she walked cautiously. Sure enough, she hadn't walked far before the badger returned.
Tong Yuheng didn't want to waste his time with it, so the instant it lunged at him, he fired a shot into its head!
"Bang!"
"Squeak~ Squeak~ Squeak~"
After a few piercing howls, the badger had a bloody hole in its forehead, collapsed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and died. Tong Yuheng dragged it back to the plantation, and then went out again to search for the "Qionghua Palace".
Qionghua Palace is actually not too far from here. After crossing this mountain and passing through a valley full of flowers, there is a magnificent building standing on the mountain peak.
She walked through the flower valley and came to a stone staircase leading to the main hall. The staircase seemed to stretch on forever, and Tong Yuheng began to climb it.
Unexpectedly, she got more and more tired and had been climbing for a long time without reaching the top. Just how many steps were there?
Tong Yuheng was not one to give up easily. He gritted his teeth and continued climbing. When he got too tired, he would sit on the stone steps to rest for a while before continuing to climb.
She was unaware that these steps were a test for newly initiated disciples of the sect. If one could not climb the steps and enter the main hall of Qionghua Palace within a day, one could not become a formal disciple of the sect.
Tong Yuheng was unaware of all this. She adjusted her breathing and decided to walk to the very end, refusing to believe that the stone steps were endless. If she couldn't reach the end, she would continue, challenging her own limits.
And so she began to climb relentlessly. There was no sunrise or sunset here; time seemed to stand still. She walked alone. She didn't know how much time had passed or how many steps she had climbed, but she finally arrived at the square in front of a magnificent palace.
The atmosphere remained silent, without any prompts. She shouted, "Are there any rules to follow? If there aren't any requirements, I'll go in! I'll take anything I find good!"
Tong Yuheng thought to himself: If I see something good and take it away, it won't be considered taking it without asking, right?
Faced with the mysterious cultivation realm, she dared not be too reckless. Who knew if there were the nascent souls or divine souls of powerful cultivators sealed inside? A moment of displeasure could cost her her life! Isn't that how it's always written in novels?
Of course, there was also the possibility of encountering demons and monsters. She prepared herself mentally and carefully pushed open the main gate of the hall, which was several times taller than her. She found that the interior was even more spacious and magnificent than it appeared from the outside.
At the front of the main hall stands a colossal statue of a goddess, over ten meters tall, atop an octagonal pavilion-shaped platform. The statue bears the same image as the small statue she had acquired at the ancient martial arts trade fair; this is the founder of the Hua Ling Sect—Qionghua Yuanjun.
Two small children stood on either side of the altar, one carrying a flower basket and the other a hoe. The statues of the two children were much smaller, only about 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall, a stark contrast to the enormous statue of Qionghua Yuanjun.
There were no incense burners or offerings on the altar, only a couplet hanging there.
The first line is: Jade trees and precious trees, embracing a solitary, pure, and noble appearance.
The second line is: Mount Hua and Jade Pool, where the subtle and profound mind is eternally preserved.

Hua Lingzong is quite detached and inactive; at least in this world and her previous one, she had never heard of it. As for Taoism, the only sect she knew of was Quanzhen Sect, thanks to the famous TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
