Chapter 78: Damn, Is This Lingxi Valley?
"Qingran, baby! I've already learned a bit of the Green Lotus Sword Manual! I’ll turn you into a peerless Sword Immortal right now!"
【Qingran, you've been in the sect for so ti now. As your master, it’s ti I teach you so self-defense techniques.】
Li Qingran was just about to sit down and cultivate when her master's voice echoed through the void.
Master is finally going to teach her a technique?!
Her heart filled with joy.
"Yes, Master! I will study diligently and never bring sha upon you!"
She obediently sat on the cushion, hands resting on her knees, back straight. However, she didn’t notice how her kneeling posture accentuated her slender waist and curvy figure. Her expectant and admiring gaze made Chen Huai'an's heart tremble slightly.
These small workshops… truly terrifying!
This was the nth ti he had marveled at it.
【Today, I will teach you a sword technique—Green Lotus Sword Manual. It consists of thirty-six chapters and twelve forms. I'll teach you the first twelve chapters and the first two forms for now.】
"Why not all thirty-six chapters and twelve forms?"
Li Qingran's hands clenched on her knees, a hint of anxiety and eagerness in her eyes. She carefully said, "Master, I will study very hard! I’m not that slow! You can try giving everything all at once!"
【Ahem, it’s not that I think you’re slow. It’s just that this sword technique is very powerful. You need to build a solid foundation first—rushing won’t get you anywhere.】
Hearing this, Li Qingran cald down.
As long as Master didn’t think she was stupid, that was enough.
Back at Qingyun Sect, Daoist Qingxuan and Lu Changtian had often called her dumb and useless. Now that she was following Chen Huai'an, she desperately wanted to prove herself.
She wanted to leave a good impression.
She had been abandoned too many tis before.
She didn’t want to be discarded like trash again.
【Watch closely! I will demonstrate the first twelve chapters of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, then break them down for you.】
Chen Huai'an followed the ga's instructions, setting up his phone on a selfie stick. The ga automatically switched to recording mode.
"So… I just need to perform the technique once?"
A small window popped up in the top-left corner of the screen.
Inside was a white-haired celestial in black robes, holding a Blackscale Sword, mirroring Chen Huai'an’s exact movents.
Chen Huai'an made a Monkey Reaching for the Moon gesture.
The celestial copied him perfectly.
"Oh, right—this is my in-ga avatar!"
Chen Huai'an suddenly rembered.
He now understood how the ga worked.
If this weren’t a ga, Li Qingran wouldn’t see him as a bald guy in pajamas—she’d see the white-haired celestial instead.
And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.
The mont the words 【Watch closely!】 fell, Li Qingran’s vision blurred.
When she ca to, she was no longer in her small wooden hut.
Instead, she found herself in a dimly lit, independent space.
Though the surroundings were dark, there was a single bright figure standing five ters ahead.
White robes. A sword on his back. Snow-like hair.
Her master.
Unlike in Qingyun Sect, where her master’s presence was terrifying and oppressive, here, he felt much closer, more real.
Back in the sect, her master was like a god—unreachable and untouchable.
But now…
He felt within her grasp.
【Focus! Pay attention in class!】
Before she realized it, her master had already moved to her side.
A wooden ruler lightly tapped her head—smack!
It didn’t hurt, but her face heated up instantly, making her want to crawl into a hole.
"So fun! The disciple can even interact and get scolded for daydreaming! The expressions are so realistic, too!"
Chen Huai'an laughed as he lightly tapped Li Qingran’s forehead with the ruler.
Once she straightened up and focused, he finally began his demonstration.
A flying sword descended upon Luoxia Peak.
A young man nad Xu An stepped off, carrying two gourd flasks filled with spiritual wine.
He had brewed this wine himself, carefully refining it so that three parts of its intoxicating properties were neutralized. Now, it wasn’t too strong—just a refreshing drink that aided digestion, cald the mind, and boosted Spiritual Qi absorption.
"Senior Sister said the new Junior Sister was placed on the abandoned Ten Thousand Swords Peak. As her seniors, we should take good care of her… But damn it, I only had six flasks, and they left with just three!"
Xu An shook his head and sighed.
If he gave two flasks to his Junior Sister, he’d only have one left.
But giving just one seed too stingy.
In the end, pride won over thriftiness.
"Screw it. I’ll just give them to her."
"She should be at the stone hut at the mountaintop, right? Wait a second—stone hut?!"
Xu An froze, his eyes widening.
What the hell?! Is this still Luoxia Peak?!
This… this looked like Lingxi Valley!
Where the hell was the stone hut?
Instead, there stood a beautifully furnished wooden house, nestled within a bamboo forest.
More importantly—there were ten freshly cultivated spirit fields, overflowing with so much Spiritual Qi that it was turning into mist!
The wooden house sat half-hidden among the bamboo, with a gentle stream flowing from deep within the forest, forming a crystal-clear pond beside the house.
Lotus flowers blood on the water’s surface, while several Celestial Cranes flapped their wings, playing in the pond.
"The clear pool reflects the bamboo grove, lotus petals adorn the pavilion…"
Xu An muttered in awe.
"This… this is what a true Immortal’s Cave Residence should look like!"
"Compared to this, my cave is nothing but a dog kennel!"
But the real question was—
How did Junior Sister set all this up in less than half a day?!
And what about these ten spirit fields?!
Did she have so kind of divine artifact?!
Xu An glanced at the two wine flasks in his hand and suddenly felt hesitant.
He was never good at socializing, and now, faced with such an extravagant sight, he felt even more out of place.
"Forget it. I won’t go in."
Standing on the stone steps in front of the wooden house, he placed the wine flasks down and turned to leave.
But just then, he sensed a faint ripple of Dao aura emanating from inside the house.
His face changed slightly.
"Junior Sister… has already entered enlightennt?"
Glancing around, he noticed the house had no defensive formations.
"Enlightennt is a critical mont in cultivation. It must not be disturbed."
"I’ll set up a concealnt formation to prevent any interruptions."
Xu An patted his waist.
Swish!
A black sword shot out, circling the house as he quickly inscribed runes. Within monts, the formation was complete. He then sprinkled a handful of Spirit Stones at the formation’s core.
In Sword Pavilion, there weren’t many dangers.
This formation was rely a polite gesture—a subtle way to signal to others that the person inside didn’t wish to be disturbed.
Once finished, Xu An nodded in satisfaction.
"Interesting, interesting~"
"A Junior Sister arrives, cultivates ten spirit fields within half a day… This is sothing everyone needs to see!"
He grinned, laughing heartily.
Then, he leapt onto his flying sword and soared into the sky.
