Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 337 - 191: A Disciple’s Broken Heart, Shuyao Arrives, Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer

Chapter 337: Chapter 191: A Disciple’s Broken Heart, Shuyao Arrives, Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer

Furthermore,

could a child like Zhiwei ever make a mistake?

Even if Qing Jun were to err, she would understand...

No matter what,

even if it’s an overstep, she must ask properly!

...

[Evergreen Technique Grandmaster: 2708/3200]

"Ah, indeed with the aid of Pills, my cultivation speed has increased."

Chen Ye swallowed a Two-striped Qi Nourishing Pill.

Although it was only refined from a first tier lower grade Spirit Plant, its grade surpassing top grade made it a significant aid for Chen Ye at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Actually,

simply relying on taking Pills for cultivation, in less than two months, he could break through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

However, now that the Evergreen Technique is about to reach profound mastery, there’s no way Chen Ye would foolishly rely on his slow cultivation.

Besides, 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

unexpectedly pleasant news came with both the Heavy Body Technique and Geng Metal Qi advancing.

[Heavy Body Technique Master: 2/1600]

[Geng Metal Qi Grandmaster: 5/3200]

The Heavy Body Technique was broken through when Chen Ye was disciplining Zhiwei, but for today’s Chen Ye, whether it’s a master or a Limit Break in the Heavy Body Technique, the difference isn’t significant.

It merely slightly increased the strength of his physical body, roughly comparable to a Body Cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

However, Geng Metal Qi gave Chen Ye a pleasant surprise, as its power significantly increased upon reaching grandmaster.

One strand of Geng Metal Qi is equivalent to the Technique of a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivator.

It doesn’t sound powerful, but Chen Ye can unleash dozens of strands of Geng Metal Qi at once, equivalent to the Techniques from dozens of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators simultaneously!

Although it poses little threat to cultivators of higher Realms,

it is extremely effective for dealing with lesser opponents.

During the assassination attempt in the peach grove back then, Chen Ye could have used Geng Metal Qi to swiftly kill those lower cultivation level cultivators, avoiding being besieged.

"All matters are settled... at least for the time being, I must seize the month that Sister Qingzhu is in Lisong Valley to break through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer as soon as possible. This way, even if Sister Qingzhu leaves, with the strength of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, I can face most threats."

Chen Ye pondered slightly, deciding to close himself off for a month to push for the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!

"Soon to reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer... Foundation Establishment is not far away!"

Just as he was setting his plan, preparing to start a new round of arduous cultivation, a sharp sword light quickly approached from a distance, landing at the edge of the pond.

Chen Ye only saw a blur before his eyes.

Then a white-furred ball, like a fierce tiger pouncing on prey, dived straight into his arms.

A pair of small, pale hands clamped tightly around his neck, shaking him vigorously.

The little feet dangling in the air were also busy, kicking aimlessly:

"You evil master, why did you bully Senior Sister!"

Qing Jun looked like a pufferfish ready to explode, hanging on him and questioning angrily.

"You little brat! When has it ever been your place to meddle in how a master disciplines his disciple?" Chen Ye feigned dissatisfaction.

In fact, this was the reason he steeled his resolve... On usual days, he was indeed too indulgent with these two disciples.

With other master-disciple relationships, it’s natural for the master to discipline the disciple; who would dare to criticize it?

Even if the disciple’s legs were broken, no one would blame them!

"No... it’s not like that..."

The little girl’s eyelashes trembled, her eyes gradually becoming confused.

This matter-of-fact tone... listening to the master’s dissatisfied reprimand, she vaguely sensed something unusual.

Even if... even if Senior Sister really deserved a beating, shouldn’t the master be at least a little concerned about Senior Sister’s feelings afterward?

"What’s wrong?" Chen Ye lifted the little girl down and flicked her forehead lightly, "The Bone-Scraping Whip may hurt, but it won’t harm fundamentally, just endure it a bit longer. Rest assured, as your master, I have my limits and won’t truly hurt your Senior Sister."

Qing Jun was still torn, momentarily forgetting to continue seeking justice from the master.

Her soft eyebrows furrowed together.

She felt something was amiss, as if the master was concealing something?

"Brother Ye..."

Mao Qingzhu murmured, feeling equally odd.

Brother Ye, this person, has always been cold to outsiders and gentle to those close to him; it doesn’t seem like he would harshly whip Zhiwei.

Today, he seemed to have been provoked by something, hence the drastic measures.

More intriguingly,

she seemed to sense fear from Brother Ye; what was he afraid of?

The two little ones exchanged a glance, their hearts in tune, sensing each other’s thoughts.

"Sister Qingzhu, I know you don’t understand."

Chen Ye sighed faintly, his tone bitter,

"But this matter concerns Zhiwei, and I cannot discuss it with you in detail."

"Even if Zhiwei has done something wrong..." Mao Qingzhu attempted to persuade him.

"It’s not just a simple mistake." Chen Ye interrupted.

Mao Qingzhu was briefly choked up, then said, "But Zhiwei is so clever..."

"Precisely because she is exceptionally intelligent, she would make such an error." Chen Ye’s eyes became deep, "She might feel that even if the matter is exposed, it won’t matter, or perhaps... she might even expect and await my reaction upon exposure... No, that last point, I might have overthought it..."

This left Mao Qingzhu completely silent.

No matter what, in the end, she remained an outsider, and asking one more question had already reached her limit. Given Chen Ye’s determination, pressing further would be overstepping.

"Right, Qing Jun, how has your cultivation been lately?" Chen Ye suddenly changed the topic, looking at the little girl.

"Eh... eh..."

The little girl’s neck shrunk, instinctively responding,

"With Master’s Pills, both Senior Sister and I have been cultivating quickly, and in another month, we should reach the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!"

Chen Ye nodded: "Not bad. I hope you both can break through to the late period of Qi Cultivation within a year. Hmm, maybe you could even break Sister Susu’s record."

Bai Susu reached Foundation Establishment at nineteen, an achievement few can match.

But if the two disciples could reach the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer at around eleven years old, breaking this record would be just around the corner.
