Chapter 116: The First Day of Missing the Second Disciple
Early morning, inside the room, Cui Hao stretched his waist leisurely.
Nowadays, he was also...
What was it again?
Yesterday he was a bit too nervous and did not even dare to ask the sect's name.
But it was not a big problem; this was the official cooperative sect of the Xuanwu Country. Nowadays, I, Cui, can be considered to be officially cultivating as an immortal.
Cui Hao pushed open the door excitedly, walked out of the room, scanned around, and saw Third Senior Sister on the stone chair by the pool.
She had placed a long and thick book on the stone chair and was reading it with a serious expression.
As expected of an immortal family, truly diligent in study.
Cui Hao walked forward, then bowed with cupped hands to this Senior Sister who only reached the height of his waist:
"Third Senior Sister, good morning."
Chen Baiqing looked sideways, nodded gently, and said:
"Mn, good morning. Junior Brother, do you want to eat candied fruit?"
Saying this, without waiting for a reply, Chen Baiqing took some candied fruit from the side and handed it to Cui Hao.
"Mn...?" Cui Hao hurriedly received the candied fruit handed over by Third Senior Sister.
After Chen Baiqing finished distributing the candied fruit to her junior brother, her gaze returned to the book.
This book, Chen Baiqing had almost finished reading, and she had basically mastered the content inside.
Previously she was ignorant; she did not expect this world to be so dangerous.
There were true dragons riding clouds and mist, and demons and spirits bewitching people's hearts.
It was truly impossible to guard against effectively; Master was right, this world was indeed incomparably dangerous.
Facing the new junior brother, Chen Baiqing read the book while opening her mouth to exhort:
"Junior Brother, if there is anything you do not understand about cultivation, you can ask me. If I do not know, you can go ask Eldest Senior Sister."
Cui Hao nodded, then took out that copy of the Qi Refining and Spirit Nourishing Art from his bosom.
"Third Senior Sister, there are indeed some things I do not understand. I have never come into contact with anything similar before."
Chen Baiqing looked at Cui Hao with slight surprise, then took over this Qi Refining and Spirit Nourishing Art.
Wasn't this basic? Could one fail to understand this?
Could it be that this cultivation technique with a common name was actually also Master's personal secret learning?
Chen Baiqing opened the first page seriously and earnestly, her gaze scanning quickly.
This was just a most basic general manual for the Qi Refining Stage.
The only advantage of this book was probably that one could switch to cultivating other techniques at will before the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It could be said that if they did not know what to give you to practice, you would just practice this book first to make do.
Chen Baiqing looked at Cui Hao with a confused gaze. After discovering that he indeed did not understand, she still explained it to him carefully.
This book was considered an introduction to Immortal Cultivation. Cui Hao still had the [Natural Intelligence] attribute. After Chen Baiqing's detailed explanation, it did not take long for him to understand the key points within.
Cui Hao revealed a smile and said: "Many thanks, Third Senior Sister. I will go practice right now."
"No need to thank me. However, I am not as smart as Eldest Senior Sister; she should have better insights. You can try asking her." Chen Baiqing said with a serious small face, "My enlightenment and knowledge were mostly taught by Eldest Senior Sister."
Cui Hao bowed with cupped hands to thank her again. Just as he was preparing to go back and practice as Senior Sister said, he turned around and saw Lin Luo Yu also walking over holding a book.
Cui Hao also did not expect that among so many people, currently only himself and this Lin Luo Yu had entered the sect together.
He only hoped she would not shake out his dark history...
Otherwise, he would suffer social death in this sect too.
If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to draw; eating plain porridge and pickled vegetables for a few days would have been fine.
Cui Hao walked forward, bowed with cupped hands, and smiled: "Miss Lin, did you also fail to understand this cultivation mental method?"
"Miss Lin?"
"Fourth Senior Sister..."
Lin Luoyu nodded with satisfaction: "Many thanks for Little Junior Brother's concern. There are some parts I do not understand, and I want Third Senior Sister to explain."
Cui Hao said confidently: "Eh, no need. I just had my doubts cleared up by Third Senior Sister. Let me offer some advice to Fourth Senior Sister."
"Is that so...?"
Lin Luoyu looked at Cui Hao with a suspicious gaze, but still handed the mental method in her hand to Cui Hao.
Cui Hao, who confidently took the mental method, looked at the cover with his first glance.
[Nine Mysteries Noble Spirit Art]
Mn?
Why isn't it the Qi Refining and Spirit Nourishing Art?!
Just hearing this name, it sounded unknown amounts stronger than the mental method he was practicing.
Cui Hao opened the first page, then quickly flipped through the back pages. After looking for a few glances, he honestly returned this technique to Lin Luoyu.
He recognized these characters individually, but when connected together, he honestly could not understand them.
The threshold for Immortal Cultivation was really quite high.
Since this was a mental method, Cui Hao dared not talk nonsense and hurriedly turned sideways to make room for Lin Luoyu.
Cui Hao said sincerely: "I was presumptuous; Fourth Senior Sister, please."
Chen Baiqing was not far away and heard their conversation. She stood up from the stone chair, walked in front of the two, and reached out to take this Nine Mysteries Noble Spirit Art.
Master said that within the sect, one should help each other so it would be warm.
Chen Baiqing opened the manual and studied it carefully.
The basic content inside was not hard to read and understand. However, there were some rather profound things that Chen Baiqing could understand, but restating them to teach others was actually somewhat difficult to grasp.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Baiqing opened her mouth and said:
"I cannot explain this very clearly. Why not wait a while and ask Eldest Senior Sister, or Master?"
Lin Luoyu nodded gently, then said respectfully: "Many thanks, Third Senior Sister."
"No need." Chen Baiqing raised her hand to hook the candied fruit over with spiritual power, then handed it to Lin Luoyu. "You taste one too; it is delicious."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lin Luoyu also hurriedly reached out to receive it.
Cui Hao suddenly opened his mouth to ask: "By the way, Third Senior Sister, what is the name of our sect again?"
Chen Baiqing was stunned upon hearing this; she did not know the sect's name either.
She had never asked, only feeling that this sect was like home.
Generally speaking, one would not ask people what their own home was called, right?
Chen Baiqing shook her head gently: "I was kindly picked up and brought back by Master. I never asked this, but Eldest Senior Sister and Master should know. If you are curious, you can ask."
Kindly picked up by Master?
Cui Hao suddenly felt he had asked a question he should not have asked. He really deserved to die!
He did not dare to stay longer and hurriedly bid farewell to leave, going to practice the Qi Refining and Spirit Nourishing Art in his hand.
Just looking at the content of this mental method, he knew it was definitely inferior to that Noble Spirit Art in Fourth Senior Sister's hands.
But simplicity also had the benefits of simplicity.
Who knew how long it would take Fourth Senior Sister to learn the mental method and officially cultivate.
While he, Cui Hao, would officially step onto the path of Immortal Cultivation in a moment.
In Immortal Cultivation, being one step faster was an incredible thing.
Moreover, Master also said yesterday that this book was for practice first. Presumably, there would be similar cultivation techniques for him to cultivate later.
Cui Hao strode back into the room, preparing to cultivate this Qi Refining and Spirit Nourishing Art.
Lin Luoyu sat on the stone chair together with Chen Baiqing, waiting for either Senior Sister or Master to come out first.
Today, it was Master who came out first.
Chu Xingchen walked out with a leisurely expression.
His gaze quickly looked toward Chen Baiqing and Lin Luoyu sitting on the stone chair by the pool.
Lin Luoyu's attributes were actually quite good.
It was just that this black attribute [Childhood Nightmare] was a bit elusive, but she still met the conditions for accepting apprentices.
Yesterday, Chu Xingchen also questioned Lin Luoyu about her family situation. After all, childhood was most associated with family.
But she said that her whole family had long since starved to death on the road of fleeing from famine, and now only she herself was left.
This childhood nightmare... was likely left behind on the road of fleeing famine, right?
Whether it was true or false, there was no way to question further. Let's wait until a more suitable time later to ask again.
Seeing her Master arrive, Chen Baiqing hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"Master, you are here? Fourth Junior Sister has questions about the cultivation technique she doesn't understand and wants to ask you."
Chu Xingchen was stunned upon hearing this.
Just as he planned to instinctively call out to Li Xing Tian.
Only then did he suddenly remember that this second disciple of his had gone to the Central Province.
