Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 378 - 205: Qiuyun Arrives; Cultivation Soars! (Part 2)

Chapter 378: Chapter 205: Qiuyun Arrives; Cultivation Soars! (Part 2)

Zhiwei blinked her eyes.

To be honest, although she often missed her junior sister, taking care of the master, having just her was enough.

Just as the master and disciple shared a tender moment, the courtyard gate was knocked upon.

Zhiwei went to open the door.

A moment later, the eldest disciple’s little face was slightly serious, and following her was none other than the long unseen Li Qiuyun!

She was dressed in the attire of a sect disciple, with a long sword on her back. Her brows and eyes carried a slight hint of wind and frost, yet appeared more resolute.

"Uncle Chen! I... I heard you were taken by the Law Enforcement Hall..."

Her words were somewhat urgent,

obviously having heard some rumors and was deeply worried.

"Just some misunderstandings." Chen Ye smiled gently, gesturing her not to worry, "It’s no longer a problem now. However, the sect has assigned a task to me, requiring me to meditate here for two months."

He didn’t elaborate on the dangers, just glossed over it lightly.

How could Li Qiuyun, being so astute, not realize that things weren’t so simple upon hearing such words and seeing Zhiwei standing silently by, looking even more indifferent than before?

But what could be done by revealing the truth now?

It would only cause unnecessary worry.

"That’s good to hear."

She nodded, suppressing her myriad concerns, and then said,

"I’ve come to inform you, Uncle Chen, that the Outer Sect tournament is imminent, and I’ve already registered. Additionally, it seems like there are some unusual activities happening with the Ji Family... Previously, they only planned to send a few disciples to the Grotto Heaven to observe the situation. But ever since Wei Shu visited the Ji Family, they suddenly started recruiting people, and many skilled individuals are joining their entourage to the Grotto Heaven."

Since the incident with Chen Ye, Li Qiuyun had been constantly keeping an eye on the sect’s movements and memorized all the information she could find.

"Oh?" Chen Ye raised his eyebrow, "You’ve worked hard, Qiuyun."

He hadn’t expected this usually reticent girl to go to such lengths for him.

The Ji Family’s movements were within his expectations.

Since Wei Shu was against him and had seized his Flying Light Sword, he would undoubtedly leverage it to employ the Ji Family’s power.

Though Ji Yueze had long defected from the Ji Family, his ties with them were intricate and myriad.

"It’s just... just fulfilling a junior’s duty, nothing more."

The girl’s cheeks blushed lightly; she lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Chen Ye’s gaze,

"Also, Qiuyun had expected to see Uncle Chen only after the tournament. Yet, to think... Qiuyun would rather not have had to see Uncle Chen under such circumstances."

Chen Ye likewise was filled with emotion, for this was the nature of unpredictable life.

Beside them, Zhiwei quietly brewed spirit tea for the three, her actions gentle, staying silent throughout.

She stood quietly behind Chen Ye, her dark pupils calmly watching Li Qiuyun.

Meeting those tranquil eyes,

Li Qiuyun inexplicably felt a chill, but then she thought, Uncle Chen’s first disciple had a very good temperament.

It was probably just her misunderstanding.

She smiled and gestured at Zhiwei, but her pupils contracted suddenly:

"Zhiwei, you’ve already... already reached the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer?"

She exclaimed in shock.

The impact of this revelation on Li Qiuyun was immense.

The reason was simple. Just over half a year ago, Li Qiuyun had only just broken through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

Yet now, this little girl seemed poised to catch up with her!

This cultivation speed was truly astonishing!

Zhiwei drew a slight smile, showing no pride, naturally stating:

"Thanks entirely to Master’s guidance. If I cultivated slowly, how could I be worthy of being Master’s disciple?"

Chen Ye’s brow twitched.

Uh... Zhiwei’s physique was special, making it hard for others to detect her cultivation.

At this moment, the fact that Li Qiuyun could see Zhiwei’s cultivation meant that Zhiwei had intentionally revealed her aura.

Hearing Zhiwei’s words,

Li Qiuyun’s slender fingers trembled slightly, her heart mixed with a hundred emotions: "Zhiwei’s talent is truly admirable..."

Zhiwei felt somewhat guilty.

She never intended to embarrass Sister Qiuyun.

But sooner or later, Sister Qiuyun would know her cultivation level — besides, hiding it would be even more disrespectful, wouldn’t it?

She just wanted Sister Qiuyun to back off.

"Uncle Chen!"

Li Qiuyun’s confused gaze became resolute once more, she earnestly declared,

"I will definitely pass the tournament and enter the Inner Sect! Even... become a core disciple in the future, and then, I’ll surely be able to help you, repaying your nurturing grace!"

Zhiwei was slightly startled, seemed like, Sister Qiuyun instead had more fighting spirit now?

...

In a blink, two months swiftly passed by.

During this period, though Chen Ye was in bitter cultivation, the days were not dull.

There was the big disciple by his side at all times, not to mention the occasional visits from Li Qiuyun.

In short, the days were still pleasant.

As for Bu Feifan... this person always stayed secluded in the back yard, and Chen Ye almost forgot about him.

"Panel!" Chen Ye shouted out the panel in his mind.

[Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique Limit Break: 2/800]

[Kuerong Xuanguang Minor Achievement: 10/100]

These two are the top priorities for Chen Ye.

Ever since arriving at Luoli Courtyard, he didn’t need to worry about the medicine field anymore, nor did he have the spiritual power to refine pills.

He spent all his time and thoughts on cultivation.

This allowed his Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique proficiency to soar, successfully breaking the limit!

However, the progress in Kuerong Xuanguang was negligible.

Lacking spiritual objects, cultivation was as slow as a turtle.

Even Top Grade Qi Nourishing Pill had no effect.

After all, spiritual items are a hard requirement for cultivating Kuerong Xuanguang.

"Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique Sixth Layer Ningyuan, is the second realm of sword intent, where sword qi transforms into sword energy. This realm is typically only learnable by Foundation Establishment cultivators, and requires spiritual power to support the sword energy..."

Despite mastering the technique, Chen Ye currently has the realm but lacks the spiritual power.

However, this doesn’t mean Chen Ye practiced in vain.

It should be known that the Sixth Layer is a qualitative change!

Even though Chen Ye was constrained by the Locking Spirit Nail, he could still use Evergreen Technique to mobilize some spiritual power, thus unleashing a sword energy with astonishing destructive power!

Then, Chen Ye’s gaze fell on the other item on the panel.

[Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique Great Success: 150/200]

The path of divine sense cultivation is far more difficult than cultivation techniques.

Two months’ time could not yet let him reach perfection.

But, another star was already faintly visible.

Chen Ye closed his eyes, regarding his divine sense internally.

Beside Saturn, wrapped in gentle green light, another dim star quietly glowed with golden light.

This represented the Gold Series view of Taibai!

This star is the sharpest, once visualized successfully, Chen Ye can perform divine sense magic in the true sense!

In past battles, Chen Ye only used his powerful divine soul to forcibly shake the enemy’s divine soul.

But if Taibai star lights up... it will not be as simple as shaking; it could even directly kill the enemy’s divine soul!

Moreover, among the five stars, Taibai is the most suitable for combination with Flying Sword.

"Canchen, Xiaohan, and the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique, all came from the Heart Slaughter Cave in Divine Mist Valley. In this cave, there is also a flying sword called Heart Slaughter Sword. This sword specializes in slaying divine souls, combined with Taibai, it is invincible..."

Chen Ye couldn’t help but recall the Heart Slaughter Cave in the Mao Family’s Divine Mist Valley.

In the past, when he went to the Mao Family, the then Mao Qingzhu had just finished cultivating in the Heart Slaughter Cave.

In the game, Heart Slaughter Cave is a dungeon where various flying swords can drop.

But in reality, it was the site of a Golden Core True Man’s dissolution.

This Golden Core True Man hailed from Ruins Country.

One thousand years ago, he ranked seventh on the Lingxu Realm’s Fuyo List!

It should be known, the first talent of the present Refining God Sect, True Man Ye, who disappeared in the Three Thousand Great Mountains, ranked only twenty-second on the Fuyo List.

It can be said,

If a cultivator enters the top thirty of the Fuyo List, barring accidents, they will surely form a Nascent Soul!

Regrettably, this person was like a comet, suddenly appearing and quietly fading away, disappearing without a trace.

People all believed he died in the Nascent Soul Celestial Tribulation,

Only Chen Ye knew, he dissolved in Divine Mist Valley...

As for the Mao Family, they might know Heart Slaughter Cave was where a Golden Core True Man fell, but definitely unaware of the Golden Core True Man’s true identity.

Otherwise, how would Mao Qingzhu dare to give away Canchen and Xiaohan so freely?

Yan Kingdom is too small, and the bustling Moon Rhinoceros Lake District is just rural countryside in the vast Lingxu Realm.

Thus, the Mao Family in this rural area, how would they know Canchen and Xiaohan are two among many accompanying swords of a cultivator who was active a thousand years ago in Ruins Country?

Moreover, the passage of a thousand years has caused many of his swords to degrade in quality.

For example, Canchen and Xiaohan were supposed to be Upper Grade Second Tier magical treasures, now they have fallen to Lower Grade Second Tier.

"In the future... I wonder if there might be an opportunity to explore the Heart Slaughter Cave of the Mao Family, but the sword intent in this cave is fierce and highly damaging to the divine soul. To acquire the Heart Slaughter Sword, one must have a strong divine sense."

Chen Ye contemplated shortly,

Although the cultivation of divine sense is slow, years ago he killed Li Guangzong and obtained from him a Soul-Condensing Grass, along with the Hundred Herbs Pill Scripture which contains the Soul Condensing Pill formula.

If there is the assistance of Soul Condensing Pill, it can help his divine sense to progress rapidly!
