Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 163 - 62: The Beginning of Attaining the Dao

Chapter 163: Chapter 62: The Beginning of Attaining the Dao

Because she didn’t feel she had the right to be here, and she knew she was a burden, as even her parents didn’t want her.

How could she dare to hope that two strangers would be willing to accept her?

Moreover, Lord Bingtang had already found a doctor to treat her, provided her with a lot of medicine for free, given her food, and even arranged for a welfare home if they had to send her away. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

From start to end, Bai Mei never thought of asking to stay in Cyan Cloud Sect.

So, for Bingtang and Jiang Si to send her away, Bai Mei wasn’t sad; she simply thought it was a matter of course.

At that time, Bai Mei went to find the Disaster Beast with no other intention; she just wanted to take a final exam.

She wanted to show everything she had learned from Jiang Si, kill a Disaster Beast as a token of gratitude to her teacher.

By the result, it was actually successful.

Because she did slay a Disaster Beast.

But from the process, it was all wrong.

Her practice was inadequate, completely failing to utilize the great power of a Sword Cultivator as described by Teacher Jiang Si.

The wooden stick she was holding broke with just one hit.

A true Sword Cultivator, even if holding just a single strand of hair, could still wield Sword Qi like a rainbow.

Bai Mei didn’t know if what she felt then could be described as despair, but she indeed felt an impulse she had never had before.

She wanted to become stronger, to prove to Teacher Jiang Si that she could achieve what he said.

She wanted everyone to witness the splendor of the realm that a Sword Cultivator could reach!

The intense desire summoned a miracle, and she obtained her Miracle Seed.

Although it was somewhat different from what she imagined, she ultimately reached her goal.

Being a Magic Sword Cultivator could be grudgingly considered as a Sword Cultivator, right?

Even though she became a Magical Girl, Bai Mei actually never thought of staying.

Yet, because she became a Magical Girl, it was Bingtang who actually invited her and let her become the first True Disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect.

Of course, the title of True Disciple was something she had to beg for.

Because at the time, Bingtang didn’t quite like it, and Jiang Si didn’t consider it as a True Inheritance. It was Bai Mei who wished to become a True Disciple, to inherit Jiang Si’s Sword Cultivator legacy, and after five or six days of persistence, Bingtang agreed to the title.

Not long after, due to her illness, Bingtang used family connections to send her to a major hospital in the neighboring Jiangming City.

Because the medical standards there were higher and they were more skilled in treating Bai Mei’s genetic disorder.

Until today, it was her first time returning to the Sect.

Therefore, when Bai Mei saw that the grand formation outside the Sect had changed, she hesitated outside for a long time until she encountered Jiang Si.

Unable to recognize her teacher, she ended up fighting and even used a water gun to scare the Sect Leader...

It was simply outrageous.

After a long while, when Bingtang saw she was no longer so dejected, he approached and handed her a cup of tea, his tone somewhat heavy, "Have your eyes lost their sight? Didn’t you say in your last message that your condition had improved a lot?"

Bai Mei, who had her eyes tightly shut, seemed a bit confused, "No, my eyes can see."

Bingtang paused for a moment, "Then why do you keep your eyes closed?"

"For cultivating the Heart Eye."

Bai Mei said earnestly, "Master said, if you always rely on your eyes to see, you develop a dependency. As a Sword Cultivator, the most important thing is to cultivate the heart, to see with your Heart Eye rather than your physical eyes, so I have kept my eyes closed all these years."

Bingtang looked wordlessly at this first True Disciple, "Does it work?"

"I see more clearly now."

He glanced at Jiang Si, and sure enough, his gaze toward Bai Mei was filled with admiration.

In fact, three years ago, Jiang Si very much admired Bai Mei’s pure heart for seeking the Way.

As mentor and student, it could even be said their relationship was quite good.

At the time Bai Mei left, he specifically urged her not to slack off in the future, as the path was arduous, advancing or regressing.

After Bai Mei left, he even regretted with Bingtang, saying it was a pity not to personally witness the growth of such talent.

Yet in three years, he completely forgot about her.

Bai Mei’s appearance hadn’t changed much in three years, especially her white hair and the alabaster, almost transparent sickly skin.

These were rather obvious features, yet he still couldn’t recognize her.

He really didn’t have it on his mind at all...

Of course, Bai Mei was no different.

After three years returning to Cyan Cloud Sect, the first thing she thought of when she encountered a stranger was to drive him away, even using a three-thousand-yuan super-realistic toy gun to scare him, unwilling to open her eyes for a look.

What a duo of mentor and student.

However, Bingtang was accustomed to it; three years ago, they were about the same.

"Just as Master said, during the first year, I couldn’t help wanting to open my eyes, wasn’t used to living with them closed. In the second year, I began to use a cane to successfully live in the dark, and in the second half of the year, I could faintly see some light with my Heart Eye even with my eyes closed. By the third year, my Heart Eye was complete."

Bai Mei said somewhat proudly, "Even without opening my eyes, I can already see everything around me clearly."

"Though talent is not outstanding," Jiang Si finally commented, "hard work can make up for lack, not bad."

"Thank you for your praise, Master."

Even so, Bai Mei’s demeanor remained neither servile nor overbearing.

Maintaining the pride and aloofness as a Sword Cultivator, although she soon coughed twice, appearing extremely weak...

Bingtang patted her back from beside her and asked, "Did you come from afar this time because there is something important?"

Bai Mei’s expression finally turned solemn, she sat upright, "This time coming back, I mainly have three matters on which I would like to ask for Master’s and Lord Bingtang’s help."
