Charlie Wade spoke candidly, saying, “I’m embarrassed to admit that Ick effective methods to enhance my cultivation, which is why I seldom practice. As for the mountain vi, aside from brewing some elixirs, I find little other use for it.”


    Ito Nanako then inquired, “Do you still believe it’s because you haven’t cultivated your mind?”


    Charlie Wade nodded in agreement. “Exactly. My current situation feels akin to a self-taught elementary school student who hasn’t yet discovered any middle school textbooks. The students enrolled in the school are unaware of how to progress to the next level, essentially resembling wanderers in the realm of monasticism.”


    Seeing Charlie Wade’s sense of helplessness, Ito Nanako offered encouragement. “Charlie Wade-kun, please don’t underestimate yourself. Every discipline in this world has been built step by step by those before us, and spiritual practice is no different. While you may not have a ready-made mental cultivation method, I believe that with diligent study, you could potentially develop your own.”


    Charlie Wade refrained frommenting on Nanako’s optimistic view. Although he recognized the theoretical possibility, he was acutely aware that it is often easier for predecessors to nt trees and let others enjoy the shade. Standing on the shoulders of giants to achieve sess is far simpler than attempting to establish a new sect in any field independently; such endeavors require a level of genius that he did not believe he possessed. Nevertheless, Nanako’s words sparked a glimmer of inspiration within him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It is indeed rare for an elementary student to exhibit talents akin to those of Newton or Gauss. However, if one takes a more grounded approach and thoroughly investigates the basics of elementary mathematics, they might just uncover some insights into junior high math concepts.


    Simrly, Ito Nanako had once relied on her exploration to achieve a breakthrough, discovering a method to navigate the sea of consciousness without a teacher. This technique not only elerated her martial arts progress but alsoid a solid foundation for her enlightenment.


    Reflecting on this, Charlie Wade resolved to dedicate more time to the mountainside vi in the future, where he could immerse himself in studying Taoism. Perhaps this would lead him to a breakthrough based on his current understanding.


    However, he realized that since his grandmother lived in a vi situated in the mountains, frequent visits would inevitably lead him past her doorstep. Out of courtesy, he feltpelled to greet her, but such visits would undoubtedly impact his practice efficiency.


    Additionally, having Ito Nanako visit daily would pose challenges in exining her presence to his grandmother.


    Thus, Charlie Wade found himself eager to seek out a new location for his practice.


    After much thought, he recalled Fei Kexin’s childhood suggestion about purchasing the Quinton family’s waterfront mansion in Aurous Hill under the alias Zhan Fei.


    The Quinton family vi, located in Shuiyun Vi, was far from the city, surrounded by picturesque mountains and rivers with a tranquil environment due to its limited number of residents.


    Moreover, the Quinton mansion was abination of two vis, enhanced by early policy rxations that allowed for extensive renovations, resulting in a space at least three timesrger than a standard vi.


    Fei Kexin had originally acquired this property and enlisted his wife ire to design and renovate it. Now that ity dormant, Charlie Wade considered purchasing it to utilize exclusively for his cultivation.<fne215> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on findnovel</fne215>


    Since there were only twenty to thirty households in Shuiyun Vi, allrge homes, Charlie Wade thought it wise to go further and discreetly acquire all the properties, transforming the area into his personal base.


    The reasoning behind this idea stemmed from the unique geographic positioning of Shuiyun Vi.


    Themunity, situated on a gentle hillside, featured a naturally formed barrierke in front. A twone cement road, built by themunity’s developer, wound through the foot of the mountain, leading exclusively to Shuiyun Vi. This meant that apart from the residents and their guests, very few outsiders would venture there.


    Once he owned all the houses in themunity, he would effectively iste it from outside interference.


    Furthermore, Don Albert’s original undergroundwork had deep connections in Aurous Hill, including numerous propertypanies. He could easily rece the existing management of Shuiyun Vi with his own team, establishing a new propertypany run by his associates.


    This would ensure a higher level of confidentiality for Shuiyun Vi.


    Charlie Wade envisioned aplishing something significant within Shuiyun Vi.


    Each vi in themunity boasted expansive underground spaces. Notably, Aurora had a passion for martial arts from a young age, prompting her father to construct a specialized training ground underground, which had seen considerable investment. By exploring the underground areas of Shuiyun Vi, he could gradually develop a facilityparable to a military garrison, which would prove invaluable in the future.


    With these thoughts in mind, Charlie Wade turned to Nanako and said, “Nanako, I’m going to call Miss Fei Kexin. She has a training venue that would be perfect for my needs!”
