This cultivation technique can be practiced anytime and anywhere!

Whether chopping wood, sleeping, or bragging, one can slowly cultivate, fully leveraging the trait that diligence compensates for a lack of talent, and makes up for its imperfect cultivation speed.

At the same time, when Qin Shou practiced this technique, he clearly felt his soul being elevated again, and there seemed to be a great path chain dangling above his head, so clear it was as if he could reach out and grab it!

But that was just a feeling; in reality, when he reached out, he still couldn’t touch it. That little bit of distance, Qin Shou tried several times but never managed to bridge it.

Qin Shou estimated that if it were a Great Perfection cultivation technique, he should be able to touch the path...

If he could touch it...

Qin Shou subconsciously wiped away his drool...

"Rabbit, that’s all for now. It’s almost dawn, I should head back. Aren’t you going back to sleep?" Sun Wukong asked.

Qin Shou waved his hand, saying, "No need, no need. What a waste it would be to sleep through the long night... I’ll take another stroll and offer some love to the forest’s delicacies... cough, I mean, to the small animals."

Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he exclaimed, "Save me a portion! Otherwise, I won’t teach you magic anymore."

Qin Shou said, "Rest assured, I’ll save some for you!"

Sun Wukong then left happily. In fact, it was as Qin Shou said: with magic to learn during the day, delicious food at night, and a good sleep, all Wukong was missing was a female to reach the peak of monkey life.

Ignoring the very content Sun Wukong, Qin Shou swept through another swath of the Iron Bamboo Forest, then promptly went to its outskirts to play dead...

As expected, at dawn, Songguo arrived, although the little fellow sneaked in quite stealthily.

"Rabbit, rabbit!" Songguo approached the pretending-to-sleep rabbit and whispered.

The rabbit’s eyelids lifted as he asked, "Songguo, what’s up?"

"Call me Senior Brother!" Songguo insisted.

Qin Shou said, "Stop it. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, I’ll sleep some more."

Looking at the twenty-odd iron bamboos laid out on the ground, Songguo wore a face full of surprise. He hadn’t expected the rabbit to be so capable... but he still said, "Rabbit, you need three hundred iron bamboos a day, and you’ve only managed just over twenty so far. If you keep up at this pace, when will you ever finish?"

Qin Shou flipped over, laying atop the pile of iron bamboo, and grunted, "No worries, it’s just a matter of a few days..."

"You, always bragging without a draft... Anyway, let’s talk business," Songguo sat down beside Qin Shou.

Qin Shou grunted in acknowledgment.

Songguo said, "Rabbit, if you call me Senior Brother with the Monkey, I’ll give you something tasty. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou instantly burst into laughter, turned over, looked at Songguo and chuckled, "Songguo, are you really so hung up on that title?"

Songguo pouted and said, "Of course! Master has so many disciples, but I am the youngest one. Wherever I go, I’m ordered around by everyone, having to call everyone Senior Brother. Do you understand how that feels? I dream of someone calling me Senior Brother."

Qin Shou was at a loss for words, not expecting the little runny-nosed kid to harbor such grand dreams. Sitting up, he said, "Songguo..."

"Hmm?" Songguo responded.

Qin Shou spoke seriously, "I understand how you feel. It’s good to have dreams, and if you have dreams, you should strive hard to realize them. Not giving your all is not an option."

Songguo said excitedly, "Yes! Master said the same thing. That’s why I’ve never given up on trying."

Qin Shou sat up, patted Songguo on the shoulder, and said, "That’s right, don’t give up, keep working tirelessly! In this life, if you don’t give it your all, you won’t know what despair is."

Songguo nodded along until the last sentence, which instantly darkened his face!

Songguo, not willing to accept it, exclaimed, "I don’t believe it! Master said there’s nothing difficult in this world!"

Qin Shou immediately followed up with, "Right! As long as you’re willing to give up!"

Songguo: "..."

With a stubborn neck, Songguo yelled, "Can’t you say something nice for once?"

"I can! Songguo!" Qin Shou called out.

Songguo heard this but didn’t know what to say next, puffing his cheeks while looking at Qin Shou. Finally, he stomped his foot, tears streaming down, and ran away.

From afar the sound of Songguo’s frustrated shouts could be heard, "Rabbit, I’m not playing with you anymore!"

Watching Songguo’s retreating figure, Qin Shou smirked and mused, "Am I being too mean? Watching a little kid cry actually kinda makes me happy, heh heh..."

After teasing Songguo away, Qin Shou stretched leisurely, picked up the ’decorative’ iron bamboo from the ground, and burrowed back into the Iron Bamboo Forest...

Before long, clusters of bamboo in the depths of the forest began to fall again, although this time the movements were clearly not as fluent as the day before, because...

"That bird, stop right there! In such blazing heat, having so many feathers must be insufferable, right? Let me pluck them for you, then you can take a hot bath to cool off!"

"Ah, that actually smells pretty good..."

"You, wild boar, stop right there! Fighting again, got hurt, right? Come on, let me stew you for you."

"And you, tiger, halt! Looking strong, lively, must be sub-healthy, right? Stewed!"

...

Thus, the entire Iron Bamboo Forest was in an uproar, with the rabbit passing through like a plague of locusts, truly leaving not a chicken or dog behind!

Even...

"Locusts? So many locusts! Wahaha... all fried!"

...

As night fell, Qin Shou looked at the red-braised wild boar meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed tiger tail, soy-braised tiger paws, and other dishes in front of him, feeling happier the more he looked, especially at the plate of locusts the size of thumbs. Eating them was really a crispy delight...

Not long after, a figure descended from the sky, and it was Sun Wukong.

As Sun Wukong had more and more contact with the people of this world, his temper was also changing rapidly. From a blank slate of an angry monkey, he began to learn bad habits from the rabbit...

However, this was something Qin Shou would never admit. In his own words, "The monkey was no thrifty lamp in ’Journey to the West,’ a troublemaker wherever he went. So, you can’t say I led the monkey astray; it’s more like the monkey led me astray..."

Regardless, a monkey and a rabbit deep in the Iron Bamboo Forest, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and several plates of hearty dishes, were feasting to the point of greasy mouths and bleary drunken eyes...

"Rabbit, today when I was leaving, master asked me what else I wanted to learn," Sun Wukong suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s ears twitched, and he immediately looked up and said, "What did you tell him?"

Sun Wukong said, "I didn’t know what else there was to learn. Normally, I would definitely have asked him, but this time, I didn’t rush to ask. You, after all, are the Daynight Wandering God and have seen a lot. Tell me, what should I learn?"

After hearing this, Qin Shou inwardly praised the monkey for being really darn smart and quick-witted!

Qin Shou thought about it and, with great sorrow, discovered that his brain seemed to be filled with recipes he had seen in the Yellow Book!

As for cultivation techniques, he really didn’t know much!

Apart from the Eight-Nine Empyrean Art, he didn’t know what else there was to learn, and plus, the Subhuti Patriarch had already stated beforehand that he wouldn’t pass on his trademark skills to others.

So, what did the Subhuti Patriarch know?

Qin Shou thought hard, his face bitter; it seemed he only knew about a few abilities like Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends Changes, and the Somersault Cloud...

"Rabbit, you don’t know, do you? But you are the Daynight Wandering God," said Sun Wukong, seeing the rabbit remaining silent for a long time.

Qin Shou’s face turned slightly red, feeling that he was about to lose face...

Just then, Qin Shou had a brainwave and chuckled, "Monkey, which do you prefer, the food or the wine?"

Sun Wukong paused, looked at the rabbit, then at the dishes and wine on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed aloud, "Rabbit, it was indeed right to ask you! Haha..."

Qin Shou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, grateful that the monkey was quick on the uptake; otherwise, if he had encountered a stubborn mule persistently asking questions, he really would have lost face today.

Seeing Sun Wukong laughing, Qin Shou joined in, "Only kids make choices. As an adult, of course, you take them both!"

Sun Wukong continued to laugh...

After the meal and having had enough to drink, Sun Wukong went home to sleep.

Qin Shou continued his pioneering journey. After two days and two nights of toil, he had cleared a large area of the deep Iron Bamboo Forest! The reason he didn’t go further was that the quality of the bamboo in the more distant areas was clearly lower, and Qin Shou didn’t care for those average iron bamboos, so he considered his work efficiency and the remaining area of the Iron Bamboo Forest, and Qin Shou exclaimed, "I need to push harder today, can’t be lazy."

When daylight came, Songguo arrived again, and this time, his way of walking was different, strutting confidently with shoulders back and big strides, looking mighty proud!

Songguo came before Qin Shou, snorted coldly, and said, "Rabbit, Senior Brother Guangyun has promoted me to supervisor yesterday! From now on, whether you do good or bad at work, it’s all up to me!"

Seeing this, the rabbit flipped over and gave him a knock on the back of his head.

Songguo, annoyed, cried out, "Rabbit, do you get what I’m saying? I’m the supervisor now! Supervising you! If you don’t do well, I can complain, you know?"

As soon as Qin Shou heard this, he immediately laughed and raised his head to look at Songguo...

Seeing Qin Shou responding, Songguo thought the rabbit had finally gotten scared, so he immediately let down his guard, slyly saying, "Rabbit, as long as you call me ’Senior Brother’ once, I promise not to snitch on you! I can even help you chop a few iron bamboos, how about that?"

In Songguo’s opinion, this was a huge favor, and there was no reason for the rabbit to refuse!

But when Qin Shou heard it, his head immediately started shaking like a rattle-drum, thinking, leave Songguo behind and how would he complete his grand endeavor of devouring the entire Iron Bamboo Forest! This kid, he could absolutely not stay!

"Rabbit, you don’t seem to understand the situation, do you? You only chop a dozen or so iron bamboos a day, but your daily target is three hundred! If you don’t think of something, you’ll spend your life cutting iron bamboos, how can you even think about cultivation? But with my help, you could at least lessen the burden! When master returns, I’ll say a few good words for you, and maybe you’ll be freed from this tedious task," Songguo tempted.

Before Qin Shou could speak, a voice came from afar, "Songguo! I heard what you just said!"

Hearing this, Songguo’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly jumped up, yelling, "Second Senior Brother... I... I didn’t say anything..." As he grew anxious, his eyes turned red again.
