"Be calm, be clear, let go, and embrace the ether." is the original phrase from the Marcovaldo Training Method regarding the advancement of the Copper Will.
The student endures physical hardship, then comes Mel's current stage - adapting ether into the body, "embracing ether".
~~~~
Li Rui deeply understood why she couldn't calm down, who could remain calm with those things weighing on their mind?
Mell's ascetic practice was indeed a bit hasty, she was eager to enter the extraordinary, because there was no sense of security.
I remembered how Li Xuan looked when our parents just passed away. But my sister is already fine, and there's a beautiful woman here who needs to be saved!
Found Meier washing up, studying toothbrush and toothpaste. Li Rui didn't say a word and pressed down on Meier's bald head, rubbing vigorously, feeling great! The little sister easily counterattacked, pushing him to one side.
Continue to rush up and rub, Merle guffawed with a counterattack. Didn't hold back strength, almost spat out blood.
After fooling around for half a day, the two of them lay side by side and chatted.
"Mei'er, I feel like Shana is ignoring me and only paying attention to you."
Even outsiders don't even use polite language anymore.
"Miss Shana is a noble silver, how could she take you, a commoner, seriously. Her intention - wait until I advance myself and then I'll teach you."
"Huh? That's okay, in my hometown, it's actually quite taboo and stimulating for teachers and disciples."
"It's like this too, many partners were originally teacher and disciple relationships. After getting in touch and understanding each other too deeply, they became partners."
Li Rui sat up and said seriously: "Mell, my treasure can easily bring wealth."
The beautiful girl's bright blue eyes stared at Li Rui fiercely.
Sacred place of trial, probing and peeking at each other is taboo. If you pry into someone's martial arts or treasures, they will inevitably "strike first" and come to kill.
Because this behavior is equivalent to a direct attack!
So Mei had never asked Li Rui for any information. This was not only a taboo but also a custom and etiquette that had been formed over time, until he himself brought it up, which was an extremely trusting gesture, rarely seen even among blood relatives.
"We will definitely not lack money, and the extraordinary journey is to become an immortal species to enjoy life and protect our own power. So, you have to hurry up and advance to fulfill your promise of creating humans, I'm a bit impatient."
Mei'er smiled sweetly, and Li Rui pulled her into his arms and continued:
"If I have an heir, I don't mind whether he's a commoner or extraordinary, nor do I care about the surname, you can decide for yourself, either Fang Shi or Lu Ling is fine."
The surname of the chosen land is placed at the back, Li Rui doesn't care about this, as long as the first word is Xia Yu.
Mei'er was very moved, but Li Rui rubbed her bald head again. It felt too comfortable to rub the smooth and tender skin, and Shana kept reminding him, so Li Rui didn't dare touch other places.
They exchanged a few serious words and then teased each other for a while, the two of them fooling around for half a day. Mell was already exhausted from using her powers so much, and they both fell asleep.
Li Rui lay in his tent, unable to fall asleep, thinking: It's just coaxing a little girl into happiness, how hard can it be.

At 6:00 AM sharp, Ms. Shana arrived on time. Entering the quiet underground training room, Mel calmed herself down in 10 minutes and entered a state of perception.
Shana was really shocked! "It's just been one night, how did you do it?"
At 4 pm, Li Rui, who had been practicing breathing exercises all day, set up the hot pot that Mei'er had specifically asked to eat.
All meat, with only a large plate of noodles as garnish. Because there were female guests, so they made a yin-yang pot. After starting to eat, it was found that it was unnecessary and directly making spicy and numbing would be fine.
Li Rui looked at Mei Er who was a bit pale and weak, but her spirit was still good. Both ladies were very excited!
"It's a bit awkward at first, and it's normal to feel pain or discomfort. But as you get more practice, you'll gradually become more comfortable, even start to enjoy it."
Li Rui thinks she is driving but there is no evidence.
"But don't relax yet, training has just begun. Mere, remember to embrace! Not absorb, merge or devour, but to embrace the ether."
The next day, Li Rui was still practicing his breathing technique when Mel suddenly rushed up from below and hugged him. After a short while, she ran back down, saying that she just wanted to experience the feeling of being hugged.
It wasn't until 7 days had passed that Li Rui finally began learning the techniques for increasing physical strength from the "Markov Training Method".
Ms. Shana asked him to train his physical strength while using the breathing method, which was very troublesome. Moreover, he had no intention of training, and Mel became paler day by day, without any blood color, and would fall down with just a blow of wind.
Li Rui anxiously asked Ms. Shana: He has money, a lot of money, can he buy something to help?
Mell is in a critical period of adapting to ether, and these reactions are normal. Everyone has gone through this. Ms. Shana reluctantly told him to go buy high-efficiency treatment potion and mix it with water to drink. Guaranteed to reduce risk and increase efficiency.
She was telling the truth, but this was an extremely expensive lifesaving item that she herself rarely used. This was one of the few alchemical artifacts that were useful to low-ranking Transcendents and even ordinary people.
The next day, Ms. Shana saw two bottles of highly effective medicine, and she understood what Li Rui meant by "having money". This stuff costs 2000 Villar per bottle, while her own salary is only 600/month. This "private tutoring" only charged 1200 this time.
Under Li Rui's persistence, Mei Ling, who really started drinking the highly effective therapeutic medicine water, showed significant improvement. Mrs. Sha Na had a complex expression, this is the power of luxury.
Another five days have passed and Mel's training has entered its final stage. Li Rui can now practice both physical strength and breathing techniques at the same time.
Ms. Sha Na lives in a villa, convenient for taking care of it at any time.
Li Rui finally got to visit Hogney Knight.

The servant arranged the tea and snacks and withdrew, Hogarth held the gift Li Rui gave him and kept turning it over.
Although it's impolite to say, but you can tell he really likes it. This is a steel ring glove made from countless stainless steel rings woven together. Mainly protects against accidental cuts from dangerous objects like electric saws. The sturdiness is self-evident! Also anti-slip and corrosion-resistant.
Li Rui bought an electric saw a while back, and soon after, his phone pushed this thing, thought it was useful so he bought a set. Now giving it to Hogney, the effect is pretty good.
Then Li Rui asked a question: "Lord Hogney, how can one quickly increase their strength with money?"
This problem is difficult and requires rich experience and insight. Li Rui asked Shana, the lady told him to train with peace of mind, being strong oneself is the foundation.
Now he came to ask Hogney. Of course, strengthening the movement and connection is also a goal, after all, it is the highest armed officer in this city.
"In the short term, my suggestion is to buy a battle pet."
Got an unexpected suggestion!
Hogarth explained:
"There are more and more domesticated battle pets, many of which are powerful and practical, and can be controlled without the 'Animal Friendship' talent. For example, the rideable swift dragon you've seen."
On the way to Green Ridge City, these tall, powerful and loyal mounts left a deep impression on Li Rui, who was very interested: "Where can I buy them?"
Hogwarts proudly said: "If you want, you can directly buy a matured Velociraptor that has been domesticated from the guard team, it's just the price..."
"Money is no object!"
