“Qing Su, elder sister, for a disciple like Ping’an, even if our master were to personally teach him, it would be extrely difficult.”
“Indeed, Qing Su, my niece, Ping’an himself possesses too sharp a wit, his studies are too diverse.
I have heard several elders within our sect discussing it on many occasions.
In the arts of magical formations and the Path of Artifact Refining, Ping’an’s talent could be deed the best among the current generation of Wanyun Sect disciples, yet these two are not your strong suits.”
“Qing Su, we can all understand your concerns about not being able to teach Ping’an properly.”
“Especially, elder sister Qing Su, Dazhi, our Ancestral Master, values his only son greatly.
Dazhi, our Wealth Immortal, is soone whom all the Peak Masters of Wanyun Sect must show so respect to, not to ntion he is also a person of Great Fortune, the opportunity of our sect for the future.”
“Therefore, after much deliberation, we have jointly prepared this scroll of the holy text specifically for teaching disciples…”
Within her own cave abode.
Qing Su looked at the jade slip in her hand, her dao heart slightly stirred.
Had she just returned to Caiyun Peak because her own disciple was often blowing himself up and fainting, wanting to ask her master how to enhance her disciple’s Primordial Soul’s strength…
wasn’t she?
Is her own disciple really so difficult to teach?
Qing Su reflected carefully, recalling every single mont she had spent with Li Ping’an over the past two years.
Her occasional guidance could lead Li Ping’an to contemplation on his own;
Her words of reminder would enable Li Ping’an to gain insight, and he would go into seclusion on his own;
What she could teach was rely “Wanyun Jue” and various Immortal Techniques used in Magical Combat, and with her instruction and her disciple’s own efforts, there had never been a problem of ‘not being able to teach’ or ‘not understanding’.
Qing Su pondered while stroking her chin.
Could it be that she genuinely wasn’t cut out to be a master, which is why her uncles, elder sisters, and junior sisters on the peak had made such a pointed reminder?
‘My teaching thods should be correct,’ she thought.
Qing Su then checked Li Ping’an’s condition once more.
At that mont, Li Ping’an was still unconscious in his recliner.
This sort of unconsciousness was due to his Spiritual Sense not being retracted in ti, being impacted and causing a shock to his Primordial Soul, just like an ordinary person being knocked out by a sudden blow, nothing too serious, and he would soon co around.
Her disciple had explained that for the past half year, he had been pondering over a set of Immortal treasures that didn’t require spending too much mana yet could exert fixed might by themselves.
To these, Qing Su didn’t have much understanding, nor did she restrict her disciple.
Li Ping’an’s unusual ideas were as nurous as the stars at night.
Although Li Ping’an spent quite a bit of ti on Alchemy and Artifact Refining, his cultivation had never fallen behind, and as ti went by, Qing Su let him indulge in those strange and eccentric artifact refining endeavors.
Qing Su moved to sit on another recliner, her clear eyes unable to hide any troubles, as she turned again to look at Li Ping’an.
In fact, there were so unusual aspects to her disciple as well.
For instance, Li Ping’an had experienced two instances where his cultivation had skyrocketed in these two years.
One was right after Li Ping’an completed his Foundation Establishnt, he suddenly moved from the first tier of the Void Refinent Realm to the third tier;
The other was not long ago, when Li Ping’an went from the fourth tier of the Void Refinent Realm directly to the threshold of the sixth tier.
Qing Su had asked Li Ping’an why there was such an abnormal improvent in his cultivation, but Li Ping’an was evasive and did not clarify, even changing the subject.
This actually made Qing Su feel sowhat disappointed, thinking that her own disciple didn’t feel close to her and was unwilling to confide certain things to her.
‘Could it be that I’m truly not skilled in the ways of ntorship?’
She doubted herself.
Qing Su pursed her lips lightly, holding the “Good Master’s Path” in her hand, her crystalline fingertips tapping lightly, as row upon row of jade slips unfolded before her, the words upon them reflecting into her eyes.
‘The way of a teacher is not about form but about the heart.
A teacher passes on the dao, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts.
A disciple inherits the dao, establishes a career, and branches out.
The master and disciple relationship is all about this.’
‘Although the teacher is ahead in the path, the Path of Immortality is long, and it is not rare to see a disciple surpass his teacher.
Therefore, both only differ in who is senior and junior, without any debate over who is superior or inferior.’
‘Human Race Qi Cultivators take the teachings from masters and inheritance from disciples as the foundation to stand between heaven and earth.
Since ancient tis, when the Hundred Clans were fierce and the Human Race was weak, various sages followed the teachings of Ancestral Master, established schools, and propagated the Dao Fruit so that the thods of cultivation spread widely, and thus the Human Race thrived.’
‘The sages said, “A disciple’s respect for their teacher is the principle of heaven and earth”…’
These introductory hundreds of words flowed on eloquently without yet getting to the main point.
Qing Su was accustod to this, whether it was the master’s transmission of techniques or the various treasures and thods passed down by the elders of Caiyun Peak, they all liked to start by expounding so principles.
After finishing the preamble, Qing Su finally found the actual guidance.
Having read it carefully, she felt as if she had an epiphany.
This “Good Master’s Path” was explaining how to be a master whom disciples would love and respect.
Inside were not only various thods and nurous details but also the personal testimonies of various uncles, elder sisters, and junior sisters.
For example, this first point [A master should always care for their disciples] was followed by vivid mories.
‘When I entered the sect in my youth and first paid respects to my master, my heart was both hopeful and anxious.
It was a misty afternoon with light rain when, reading scriptures, I fell asleep on the bamboo mat by the window.
As my master passed by, he covered with a blanket and tucked in the corners.
My heart instantly settled, and from that mont on, I had no barriers with my master, and my cultivation progressed smoothly all the way to the realm of an Immortal.’
Qing Su put the jade slip on her lap, turned to look at Li Ping’an, and her bright eyes shone with an added brilliance.
Tucking in the blanket.
This wasn’t exactly difficult.
Could this really make the disciple’s dao heart more stable?
Qing Su rose and floated to the back hall’s bedroom, and when she returned, she carried a thin blanket embroidered with orchids, walking to where Li Ping’an lay in slumber.
