It was late at night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the gravity room of the villa's enormous training hall.
After finishing his training, Shen Ping opened the virtual frame. Having displayed his Councilman-level strength, he estimated that the family's evaluation wouldn't be too low this time.
Whoosh.
The virtual frame slowly appeared.
A new line of text on it caught his eye.
"You helped the military defense line resist a Level 2 beast tide. Your family's prestige in Hua Zhong Base City has gradually accumulated, and its fame has surged Globally, taking a firm and powerful step towards prosperity."
"Reward: Ten mu ya crystals, twenty portions of essence of vegetation, the first stance of Flame Blade Technique, and the first level of Prairie Fire Movement Technique."
"Additional Reward: SS-Rank Gene Serum formula, and a young Yan Xing Flower, an auxiliary plant lifeform."
Upon seeing the rewards, his pupils involuntarily constricted.
The first line of rewards wasn't too surprising, but the appearance of an auxiliary plant lifeform in the additional rewards was completely unexpected.
"From the gene serum formula to the previous gravity room, and now an auxiliary plant lifeform… Could it be that good things randomly appear in the additional rewards?" Shen Ping couldn't help but speculate.
An auxiliary plant lifeform was a great asset that could significantly enhance combat power in all aspects. Moreover, once bonded, the plant lifeform would never betray its master and would be a lifelong companion. Such a resource was valuable even in the universe.
"Claim."
Without hesitation, he silently willed it.
Whoosh.
Immediately, a vast amount of insights and experiences regarding the "Blazing Blade Twelve Techniques" and "Prairie Fire" flooded his mind. As long as he absorbed and digested these insights, he wouldn't need to painstakingly cultivate them; he would only need diligent practice to fully master them.
In addition to that, there were mu ya crystals, essence of vegetation, the serum formula, and finally, the auxiliary plant lifeform.
Putting away the other rewards, his gaze fell upon the floating Yan Xing Flower.
This was a plant entirely fiery red in color, with dense thorns on its surface, and three flame-colored leaves at the top of its stem. It looked very vibrant and beautiful.
Shen Ping reached out and tried to touch it. The thorns on the surface of the leaves abruptly pierced his skin, then greedily absorbed his blood. In a short while, it seemed to burp contentedly and retracted its leaves. Almost instantly, he felt a connection with this auxiliary plant lifeform.
At the same time, a large amount of information about the Yan Xing Flower flooded his mind.
This type of plant lifeform was relatively rare in the universe. Legend had it that it was a symbiotic plant spat out by the Yan Xing Behemoth after it devoured a star. It possessed extremely strong devouring, corrosive, and digestive abilities. Once bonded, it could condense an Yan Xing battle suit on the host's body, providing extremely strong defense.
"Haha, not bad, not bad. Although I'll have another mouth to feed mu ya crystals to, with the assistance of this plant, my combat power will see a substantial surge!" He was incredibly excited.
From the information, the Yan Xing Flower was much stronger than the Cloud-Caressing Vine in terms of attack, but its toughness and vitality were not as good as the Cloud-Caressing Vine. In battle, it was easily damaged and destroyed by enemies, but if utilized properly, its auxiliary combat power would be much stronger than the Cloud-Caressing Vine.
He took out two mu ya crystals and fed them to the Yan Xing Flower. Its two leaves cheered with joy. Since it was still a juvenile, it quickly became full.
After practicing the Flame Blade Technique in the training hall for a while, he went to the bathroom to shower and then returned to the master bedroom.
Li Yuewei wasn't asleep yet; she was reading the latest magazine. She wore a set of silk pink and white pajamas, half-reclining against the bed, her rounded hips perfectly facing the doorway.
Although the two of them were already like an old married couple, seeing his wife's fair and full figure still made Shen Ping's heart race. He quickly stepped forward and pulled open her pajamas.

"You're annoying." Li Yuewei playfully chided, turning sideways and hooking her arm around Shen Ping's neck.
After being nourished by the essence of vegetation, her physical fitness was quite good now, and her skin was more lustrous than before. She didn't need makeup or skincare products on a daily basis.
At this moment, her beautiful eyes stared at Shen Ping, revealing excitement. "Hubby, I really didn't expect you to become a Councilman-level expert. There are only a little over fifty in the entire Global! During the day, everyone at the company called me 'Councilman's wife,' and some even praised my unique foresight. How could they know that it wasn't my unique foresight, but rather the good fortune I cultivated in my past life that allowed me to meet you in this life."
Shen Ping hugged his wife tightly and said with a smile, "Did you put honey on your lips tonight? Your words are so sweet."
Li Yuewei bit her lip. "I'm happy, so happy, hubby. Whatever request you make, I'll agree to it."
Shen Ping's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Seeing his wife nod, he leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
Li Yuewei's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and her head shook like a rattle-drum. "No, no, how can it be there?"
Shen Ping feigned a sigh. "See? Who just said they'd agree to any request?"
"Alright."
"But, but you must be gentle."
"Don't worry, wife, I'll be very gentle."
The next day, Li Yuewei lay prone on the bed, complaining, "Hubby, it's all your fault. I'm still hurting. I can't go to the company today. Please tell my secretary to cancel all my scheduled work."
Shen Ping kissed her forehead. "Alright, I'll go to the company later."
At breakfast, Su Yin, seeing that her cousin hadn't come, casually asked about her.
"Your cousin accidentally bumped her leg last night and is recovering now. Don't worry, she should be able to get out of bed by noon."
"Oh." Su Yin buried her head and continued drinking her porridge, but she couldn't help but wonder. She knew her cousin's physical condition was excellent now; how could she have bumped herself?
...
At two in the afternoon, after handling his company affairs, Shen Ping took a disc-shaped fighter jet and traveled all the way to Hongning Base City. Among the Councilmen who congratulated him yesterday was Hong, the world's strongest expert. The two chatted for a few moments, and Hong asked him to visit the Dojo of Limits headquarters when he had time.
As the disc-shaped fighter jet entered the airspace above Hongning Base City, he looked through the aircraft window at the Base City. The entire Base City was filled with pavilions and towers, with an ancient architectural style. Being in such an environment gave one the illusion of dreaming of ancient times.
However, what Shen Ping envied was that this Base City was entirely built by Hong himself. The number of warriors and wealthy individuals living here was extremely high. Since the Great Nirvana, a continuous stream of wealthy people and strong individuals migrated to this place every year, ultimately leading to the current scale of Hongning Base City.
"Powerful martial force represents fame and safety. Because of this, those wealthy individuals would come here at all costs."
Not long after, the disc-shaped fighter jet landed on the lawn in front of a giant spaceship that was tens of thousands of meters long.
Stepping out of the cabin door, he looked at the heavily guarded military personnel stationed outside the spaceship and walked straight towards the front of the spaceship. At this moment, two blue-robed maidens walked out of the dozens-of-meters-wide silver-white cabin door. They quickly approached him. "Councilman Shen, please follow us."
Upon reaching the cabin door, a blue light shot out from the spaceship, enveloping Shen Ping.
"Beep."
"Councilman Shen Ping, welcome to the Global Headquarters of the Dojo of Limits."
