The people dispersed from outside the Dao Sect's gates.
Liu Boxian led his disciples flying towards Sword Peak, but just as they flew halfway into the air, he realized sothing was wrong. He glanced back and did not see Tian Wenjin's figure. Looking to the side, he found Tian Wenjin among the Dan Peak group.
???
A series of question marks popped up in his mind. Girl, you are a Sword Peak disciple, not a Dan Peak disciple!
"Wenjin?" He could not help but stop and call out, "Co over, I have sothing to tell you."
Tian Wenjin was just describing the differences between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishnt stage to Li Shiyin. Hearing Liu Boxian's words, she quickly stopped and flew over to Liu Boxian, saluting and asking, "Elder, what is the matter?"
"That..." Liu Boxian was at a loss for words at the mont. He just wanted to call Tian Wenjin back, but he did not know what to say for a while. After a long pause, he finally said, "You just ford your core, it is suitable for you to return to Sword Peak to cultivate, stabilize your cultivation. Do not run around everywhere for now."
Tian Wenjin looked back at the Dan Peak group still waiting for her over there, sowhat hesitant, but she ultimately did not dare defy Liu Boxian's will, nodding in agreent, "Yes."
She added, "Let tell them."
"Go on!" Tian Wenjin was so obedient, Liu Boxian was very satisfied, nodding generously.
Tian Wenjin flew back to the Dan Peak side and said to Li Shiyin, "I need to return to Sword Peak to stabilize my cultivation. I will discuss the Dao with you next ti."
"Wasn't your cultivation stabilized at the Dao Sect's gates? Why do you still need to stabilize it?" Li Shiyin did not understand. "Did so new problem co up?"
Tian Wenjin paused, then said, "The Elder said I still need to stabilize it."
Li Shiyin imdiately understood. She looked at Liu Boxian on the other side and pursed her lips, "Your master doesn't even manage you, yet he interferes so broadly."
"What are you saying?" Qin Ran pressed his hand on Li Shiyin's little head, stopping her from continuing to say such blasphemous words. He smiled at Tian Wenjin and said, "Cultivation is the most important. Go back to Sword Peak first. When you co to Dan Peak next ti, I will cook sothing delicious again to celebrate your successful core formation."
Tian Wenjin was moved. Looking at Qin Ran, she bowed deeply to express her gratitude, then turned around and flew back to the Sword Peak camp.
At Sword Peak, the Sword Peak elder who had taken her in as a disciple only cared about his own cultivation and never cared whether she lived or died. The Sword Peak elder only cared about his own face and forcibly wanted her to return to Sword Peak. Yet only the few people from Dan Peak truly cared about her.
In the vast world of cultivation, it seed only Dan Peak had so human touch.
As she watched the Sword Peak group fly away, Li Shiyin sighed, "I was still thinking of drinking with Wenjin, not leaving until we're drunk!"
"Drink less alcohol!" Qin Ran slapped her lightly, laughing and scolding, "Where did you pick up this bad habit?!"
"Huh?" Just then, a voice suddenly approached and said, "I heard soone wants to drink alcohol?"
Everyone looked over to see the elegant, fan-wielding Dong Zhongyuan.
"Brother Dong..." Li Shiyin quickly greeted, "Do you want to drink?"
"I'm just in the mood for so wine!" Dong Zhongyuan waved his fan, smiling, "Unfortunately, Lu Junxing is still in secluded cultivation, so I have no drinking buddy for now!"
"Then co to Dan Peak with us!" Li Shiyin said.
"I wonder what Uncle thinks about it?" Dong Zhongyuan asked Qin Ran politely, holding his fan.
"You're extrely welco!" Qin Ran laughed.
In fact, Qin Ran did not like crowds. Before Li Shiyin ca, he only had half a good friend in the Dao Sect and Sword Sect? And not long ago, he had killed that half friend. But Li Shiyin liked making good friends, so he had to be welcoming. And for Li Shiyin to develop better, making more friends was also necessary.
Thus, even without Tian Wenjin, it was still a group of five people who arrived at Dan Peak.
Dong Zhongyuan had co to Dan Peak with nothing to do these past few years, and had beco quite familiar with Dan Peak. As soon as he arrived at Dan Peak, he went straight to the waterfall behind the mountain.
He stood at the edge of the deep pool below the waterfall, gazing up the mountain for a long ti, trying to spot that charming figure. But he did not find her in the end, only eting a venomous snake with a sharp tongue.
It was June, the height of sumr. At this mont, it was noon, with a blazing sun in the sky. The waterfall crashed into the deep pool, splashing up pearls and jade-like droplets amidst the rumbling noise. Transparent mist that looked like scattered salt drifted in the air. Gorgeous sunlight shone through, creating a rainbow. The rainbow shifted along with the rising and falling mist, seeming like a living creature.
In this mist, under the rainbow, in such a romantic environnt, instead of a graceful and charming fairy maiden, only a dark little loli leisurely walked over.
She stood next to Dong Zhongyuan and looked up following his gaze, laughing, "Still didn't see her today either?"
"Alas, no." Dong Zhongyuan sighed. "After seeing her once, all other won in the world lose their color. These years, I haven't touched another woman again, only focusing single-mindedly on cultivation."
"..."
Dragon Qiqi glanced at him. No wonder you were so vigorous during the examination at the Dao Sect's gates! This was the reason?! There was no saving this man.
"If I can see her one more ti this life, I think I would have no regrets even in death." Dong Zhongyuan continued.
"You've fallen under her bewitching arts." Dragon Qiqi rcilessly tore apart the truth and went on, "If you learn the thod of absorbing yin to nourish yang one day, I might introduce her to you."
"Are you speaking true?" Dong Zhongyuan's eyes lit up brightly.
"As if that's true..." Dragon Qiqi rolled her eyes. "I'm telling you, if you don't learn to absorb yin to nourish yang, sooner or later she will absorb your yang to nourish her yin."
"If it's just my cultivation she wants?" Dong Zhongyuan said, "Then please let her co absorb as soon as possible! I've cultivated for forty years this life just to wait for her."
Dragon Qiqi facepald. Nevermind, just wait for your death. This man was beyond saving.
There was another beyond saving one in the kitchen.
She leaned against the doorfra, watching her master put on an apron and chop ingredients on the cutting board. She thought, master really can do anything, even cooking.
Master looked so cool in an apron. Master looked cool chopping ingredients, master looked cool holding the wok, master looked cool stir-frying, master looked cool plating the dishes...
As she watched, she drooled. She walked over to master's side, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and popped it into her mouth. As she chewed, she mumbled, "Master, let help you!"
"Help?" Qin Ran looked back at this little troublemaker disdainfully. "It'll be good enough if you don't make a ss."
"Master!" Li Shiyin refused to give up. She stated facts and reasoned with him, "I've comprehended sword intent already, I'm a genius of the sword Dao. I might not be good at other things, but I can definitely help you chop ingredients."
Qin Ran put the lid back on the wok and turned around to look at this disciple sneakily eating. Sothing felt off no matter how he thought about it.
Oh, so she beca a sword immortal just to co help him chop ingredients!
Thinking this, he took out a few potatoes and handed them to her, saying, "Peel the skins off thinly, without leaving the slightest bit on the flesh. Then cut them carefully into even cubes, with each cube the sa size."
Li Shiyin was just holding a puff pastry in her hand. Hearing this, her eyes widened as she stared at Qin Ran: "Wait, master, you're serious?"
