Chapter 641: Chapter 641 The Gift You Gave Me Tried to Eat My Entire Courtyard

But these two women were different.

They were people Lin Feng had chosen to bring into his life.

Helping them establish a foundation was therefore something he was perfectly willing to do.

Still, he deliberately kept his assistance subtle.

He wanted them to believe in their own strength.

Hours continued to pass. Hazel and Alexandra remained standing.

Neither knew that Lin Feng was quietly watching over them every moment.

They only knew that whenever they felt they were about to reach their limit, something seemed to give them just enough strength to continue.

And because of that, they refused to give up.

By the time the final hours approached, neither woman had the strength to speak.

They simply stood there. Sweating. Trembling. Exhausted. But standing.

Lin Feng watched them with a faint smile. Their bodies were weak.

Their cultivation foundations were nonexistent.

Yet their determination was gradually taking shape.

For a first lesson, that was more valuable than any cultivation technique.

They had taken their first step. And for Lin Feng, that was more than enough.

The final moments of the training seemed to stretch endlessly.

Hazel and Alexandra were barely holding themselves upright anymore.

Their legs trembled, their bodies were drenched in sweat, and every breath felt like an effort.

Then...

Ding!

The clear sound of a bell echoed throughout the courtyard.

Their day of training was finally over.

"You did it," Lin Feng said calmly.

For a moment, neither Hazel nor Alexandra seemed to comprehend what they had heard.

Then Hazel’s eyes widened.

"We did it!"

"Yes..." Alexandra breathed, her exhausted face immediately breaking into a smile.

They looked at each other. And then both women burst into laughter.

The tension that had been building inside them for the entire day finally collapsed all at once.

"We actually did it!"

Alexandra’s voice trembled with excitement.

Hazel nodded repeatedly, tears already gathering in her eyes.

"We didn’t give up."

The two women stumbled toward each other and embraced tightly.

Neither cared that they were covered in sweat or that their legs could barely support them anymore.

They simply held each other and cried. It wasn’t sadness. It was relief. It was pride.

For 24 long hours, they had endured something that had initially seemed ridiculously simple.

Stand. Just stand.

Yet they had discovered that something as simple as standing could become an enormous challenge when the body was pushed beyond its limits.

And they had overcome it.

Lin Feng remained a short distance away, silently watching them.

He didn’t interrupt their celebration. He didn’t offer unnecessary praise.

He simply stood there with his hands behind his back, observing the two women who had just completed their first lesson.

A faint smile eventually appeared on his face. They still had a long way to go.

Their bodies were still mortal. Their cultivation foundations had yet to be established.

They didn’t even know how to properly sense spiritual energy.

But those things could be taught.

The most difficult thing to teach was determination.

And today, Hazel and Alexandra had demonstrated that they possessed it.

After several minutes, the two finally separated.

Alexandra wiped her tears and looked toward Lin Feng.

"Was that really our first lesson?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Yes."

Hazel stared at him in disbelief.

"You’re telling me standing for one day was actually training?"

"Of course."

Lin Feng’s expression remained completely serious.

"You wanted to cultivate. Before learning how to control spiritual energy, you first needed to learn how to control yourselves."

Both women became thoughtful. Lin Feng turned around.

"Rest tonight."

He glanced back at them.

"Tomorrow will be harder."

Hazel and Alexandra exchanged a look. Their exhaustion returned instantly.

But instead of complaining, they smiled. They had already survived the first day.

Whatever came next, they would face it together.

***

The following morning, after Hazel and Alexandra had recovered from their first day of training, Lin Feng finally gave them their first true cultivation method.

He handed each of them a thin manual. Hazel looked at the cover and read the title aloud.

Breathing Your Way to Immortality.

She blinked.

"That’s the name?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Simple enough, isn’t it?"

Alexandra opened the manual curiously.

At first glance, it looked almost ordinary.

There were instructions about breathing, meditation, circulating energy through the body, strengthening the meridians, and gradually absorbing the spiritual essence of the heavens and earth.

But there was nothing ordinary about the technique itself.

This was a simplified entry-level version of the cultivation manual Lin Feng had created himself.

It was also the same foundation he had previously given to Mrs. Fox.

The method had one extraordinary characteristic.

It did not require a person to possess a spiritual root.

In the cultivation world, spiritual roots were often considered the foundation of a cultivator.

Without one, ordinary mortals could spend their entire lives attempting to sense spiritual essence without ever succeeding.

Lin Feng had simply removed that limitation.

His cultivation method could guide even an ordinary mortal with no spiritual root whatsoever onto the path of cultivation.

Given enough time, perseverance, and sufficient resources, even someone who had previously been completely incapable of cultivating could gradually reach realms that ordinary cultivators could only dream about.

And ultimately...

Immortality.

If the existence of this manual became known throughout the cultivation world, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Countless sects would fight over it. Powerful cultivators would attempt to steal it.

Kings and emperors would offer unimaginable fortunes for a single copy.

Even ordinary mortals would risk everything for the opportunity to obtain it.

After all, the greatest tragedy for mortals was not lacking wealth or status.

It was knowing that their lives were temporary. This manual offered another possibility.

Lin Feng, however, had no intention of distributing it.

It was his creation, and its secrets belonged exclusively to him.

Only the people closest to him could enjoy its benefits.

Hazel slowly looked up from the manual.

"Lin Feng... this really can allow someone without a spiritual root to cultivate?"

"It can."

Alexandra’s eyes widened.

"Then isn’t this incredibly valuable?"

Lin Feng smiled.

"More valuable than you can imagine."
