At the summit of Sunset Peak, purple qi came from the east.
A group of disciples who were cultivating woke up from their meditation one after another and looked at the purple qi on the mountaintop with surprise.
Xu An picked up a wine jar and took a sip, helplessly smiling bitterly: “This Junior Sister is really extraordinary. How long has she been in the Sword Pavilion? This is already her third sudden enlightenment, right?”
At the foot of the mountain, Yue Qianchi lay on the tree canopy looking at the bright moon in the sky, the grass root in her mouth no longer swaying: “Hiss, could it be that there’s something wrong with the feng shui at the foot of this mountain? Or is my comprehension too poor? No, something’s not right! It must be Li Qingran’s talent, plus her master’s good teaching!”
Yue Qianchi flipped off the tree and flew towards the main hall of the sect on her flying sword.
She didn’t care.
Today, Su Qinian must also make her have an epiphany.
Otherwise, she would just keep pestering Su Qinian until he did!
…
“Disciple Qingran thanks the master for your guidance. I am now only one step away from the great completion of building the foundation. Before entering the Secret Realm of Zhongzhou, I will surely reach perfection!” Li Qingran gazed at the floating human face palm in front of her with intense focus. This was almost all due to the master’s efforts. Without the master’s nurturing, how could she possibly have such a fast cultivation speed?
If so, she should cooperate even better with the master’s examination.
Chen Huaian appeared calm on the surface but felt lost inside, his mind full of question marks.
Which sentence made Li Qingran suddenly enlightened?
Why can’t I enlighten when we both have human brains?
I’m still at the third level of Qi Condensation!
Li Qingran carefully pondered over Chen Huaian’s question and soon came up with a solution.
“Master, I have a technique called Dragon Seeking Induction which I learned previously in Bluecloud Sect. Originally, this secret technique was used to find dragon veins and requires Dragon Seeking Incense. However, I’ve slightly modified this method, making it very useful for tracking enemies without needing props like Dragon Seeking Incense.”
While saying these words, Li Qingran couldn’t help but feel a bit proud.
But under Chen Huaian’s gaze, she blushed slightly and lowered her head, twirling the strands of hair by her cheek with her fingers: “Disciple is dull, only slightly modifying the secret technique. Compared to masters who can create their own techniques, it doesn’t count for much… But disciple will definitely look up to the master!”
Chen Huaian: “…”
He had already started worrying about how to explain meeting Li Qingran in person later.
But the act must continue, and he had to keep pretending.
Chen Huaian smiled faintly and said casually: “My realm isn’t easily surpassed. You still need to work harder, my disciple.”
“Alright, this secret technique sounds good. But since you modified it yourself, there might be some mistakes. Show me, let me help check.”
“Okay, Master.” Li Qingran obediently nodded, turned her back, and lightly pulled the cloth band with her fingertips.
The silk slid down her shoulder like moonlight, her black long hair spilled out like ink, and the fragrant wind made the hibiscus outside the screen sway. Her back was as pure as a newly carved jade sword scabbard, and the mole below her shoulder resembled an ink dot on a lamb fat inkstone, flickering in the candlelight as she combed her hair.
Chen Huaian was stunned.
He didn’t expect Li Qingran to be so straightforward.
Is this girl not shy?
The long robe slipped down to her hips, held by a breathtaking curve. Li Qingran held her shoulders with her white hands, slightly tilted her head, and her porcelain neck gradually turned coral red, flowing down like a streak of rosy clouds along her swan neck. Her cool fingertips touched her crimson earlobes, letting the blush escape through the gaps between her fingers and onto her cheeks.
She was finally shy.
Chen Huaian noticed these details.
Li Qingran was only trying hard to hold herself together.
“The disciple will demonstrate the meridian route of the Dragon Seeking Induction for the master…” A soft voice came from ahead.
Li Qingran hung her head low, her hands naturally hanging on both sides, her fingertips trembling slightly.
The plum blossom mirror by the window was covered with a layer of mist. It was originally because the magnolia outside the window was about to bloom, exhaling the frosty air of early autumn onto the glass.
Only blurred shadows could be seen in the mirror.
She sighed slightly.
The next moment, she heard her master calling out.
“Hold on!”
“Today, the palm heart manifestation is affecting the view. Let me get closer!”
Li Qingran: “…”
She heard the rustling sound behind her.
She could vaguely feel her master’s breath brushing against her waist, sending goosebumps all over her body.
Her master’s breathing… so close!
Li Qingran’s heart trembled, her eyes tinged with a light red, her eyelashes laden with mist about to fall, and her fingertips tightly gripping the cloth band.
The wick of the candle on the table burst into sparks, startling the word “master” to break in her teeth, trembling.
Her throat emitted a whimper, her teeth biting her pale lower lip, and the trembling sound finally escaped from her nose: “… Can we start?”
“Let’s begin.”
…
…
The meridian route of the Dragon Seeking Induction was much more complicated than Chongxu Lingmu.
It might be because the level of this secret technique itself was higher than Chongxu Lingmu, plus it was modified by Li Qingran herself, so it was somewhat messy. After watching it seven or eight times, Chen Huaian was still a little confused, so he decided to record a segment.
Of course, it might also be because his current state wasn’t suitable for learning secret techniques.
“Master, why is your nose bleeding?”
Li Qingran tightened her belt and turned around, startled by the bloodstain on Chen Huaian’s lips and nose.
She instinctively held that hand close to her chest and examined it carefully.
Unbeknownst to her, the master’s nosebleed sprayed directly.
Li Qingran instinctively licked her lips —— the master’s blood was sweet, not as fishy.
“Cough! Disciple, stop!” Chen Huaian felt like he was dying and quickly shouted: “That demon has come to attack, causing my nosebleed. That’s enough for today. I’ll deal with that demon first!”
Just then, the time for the immersive experience arrived.
Chen Huaian directly exited.
The room instantly became quiet, and the hand with the master’s features disappeared from her hands. Li Qingran was stunned for a while before sitting on the bed blankly. She hugged her knees with both hands, burying her pretty face in her knees. Her unbound long hair fell like a curtain, and the candlelight projected two overlapping shadows on the wall —— one curled up at the head of the bed, and the other spread over her tightly closed knees.
“I want to see my master so much…”
Li Qingran muttered to herself. She took out a piece of black jade from her waist and placed it under the candlelight —— it was her life-bound magic weapon disguised as a jade pendant. When infused with spiritual power, the back of the magic weapon would display the compatibility value, which was now thirty-five.
“But… it seems like it will take a long time?”
The sigh of the young girl dissipated in the moonlight, and the candlelight in front of the table swayed in the night breeze.
A drop of candle wax fell on the unfinished sachet,
melting another thread embroidered with “everlasting companionship.”
…
…
[Li Qingran’s Favorability Reached: Heart ?35]
[Please continue to strive. One-time use item, ‘Immersive Experience’ gloves have become ineffective.]
“Hey, I see Li Qingran, Li Qingran’s favorability has increased? What kind of gal game setting is this?!”
Chen Huaian touched his wet nose and chuckled.
Damn, it’s all blood!
There’s replenishing tea left by the previous governor in the Demon-Slaying Division Governor’s Office.
Based on the principle of taking advantage of every opportunity, he drank quite a lot, finishing a jar in three days. Now it seems like he’s over-replenished a bit.
“All preparations are ready except for the东风.”
Chen Huaian suppressed the extreme situation in his mind and silently recited “Amitabha.”
Now is not the time to think about those things.
The top priority is to comprehend the Dragon Seeking Induction before twelve o’clock.
