Chapter 352: Chapter 69: Senior Sister, Teach
An Zhisu slowly awakened.
Although her physical constitution was not as outstanding as Ling Yunpo’s, it was only by comparison—in the Shushan, which valued root bone quality, An Zhisu’s resistance to miasma toxins was still considered above average.
Although it was dark around her, she quickly noticed that her clothes had been undone by soone.
Because the hooks were fastened incorrectly.
The last ti her junior brother had undressed her for healing, he had also fastened the hooks wrong…
An Zhisu was dazed for a mont before realizing that it must have been her junior brother who had undressed her again to remove the poison.
Although she still felt so shyness, she quickly convinced herself and struggled to get up from the ground.
This place seed to be underground, the only source of light coming from ahead, where her junior brother was currently standing under a giant tree, patiently examining a skeleton.
“Senior Sister An, you’re awake?” Ling Yunpo noticed the movent behind him and turned around, smiling as he asked.
“Yes,” An Zhisu nodded reservedly, hesitating.
She wanted to lecture her junior brother again about the principle of “impropriety between n and won,” but then she rembered that before she fainted, the toxins had indeed spread throughout her ridians.
If he hadn’t undressed her to guide the True Yuan through the major acupoints on her body to extract the toxins, what else could her junior brother have done?
Her junior brother was so kind; he wouldn’t have intentionally embarrassed …
An Zhisu bit her lower lip, her thoughts tangled, when suddenly Ling Yunpo tossed sothing to her.
She caught it with her hand and realized it was a jade slip.
Upon probing it with her Divine Sense, An Zhisu learned that the owner of the jade slip was nad “Zhong Liang,” a Cultivator from the Ei Sword Sect who had committed suicide here.
He requested that whoever found this jade slip burn his and the big tree’s remains into ashes with flas, then mix and bury them in the soil—as a reward, his belongings were in his Storage Bag.
Since there were only a few words in the jade slip, An Zhisu was still clueless as to why this Cultivator had committed suicide or what his relationship with the big tree was.
But as her gaze swept past Ling Yunpo and she saw the embraced posture of the two corpses, she seed to understand sothing.
“This predecessor’s Storage Bag contains a set of movent skills,” Ling Yunpo continued, “Would you like to take a look, Senior Sister?”
This ti he tossed her a scripture scroll with complete details of the movent skill, accompanied by illustrated charts.
An Zhisu looked carefully and learned that this movent skill was called “Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step,” which contained the principles of the Eight Trigrams from Yi Jing, allowing one to move and shift within a small space without leaving a trace.
Interestingly, the scripture ntioned that within the Ei Sword Sect, this step was almost as essential as Sword Control Technique, with nearly everyone learning it.
The reason is that in battles of Sword Immortals, rapid and precise movent is often necessary.
If one rides on a Flying Sword, then attention must be divided to control the sword, which consus too much Divine Sense.
If movent is done through stepping techniques, on the one hand, it doesn’t consu Divine Sense, and on the other, the burst of speed may even surpass Sword Control Technique, hence it is a necessity for Sword Immortals.
However, according to An Zhisu’s mory, the Shushan Shangqing Faction had no similar concept.
It’s not that movent skills were completely lost in transmission, but just like Talisman Scripts and Magical Treasures, they were considered “miscellaneous studies” within Shushan and no peak would teach them as the core of their teachings.
Even her teacher, Su Jian, hadn’t discussed any movent skills with her.
How strange.
Seeing that Senior Sister An’s attention had shifted to the movent skill, forgetting about how she was actually “detoxified,” Ling Yunpo internally shouted his good luck and hurriedly continued:
“Senior Sister, that Crazy Sword Immortal also used this movent skill.”
“Don’t call him Crazy Sword Immortal; that’s your Senior Uncle,” An Zhisu sighed.
You don’t know, Senior Sister, the Senior Uncle’s soul is fragnted, and I’m afraid his remaining soul has reincarnated, leaving only an obsession in the flesh.
Ling Yunpo ntally criticized, nodding and agreeing outwardly and went on:
“According to the scriptures, this Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step is divided into ‘Entry Level’, ‘Advanced Level’, and ‘Daoist Level’.”
“Elder Martial Uncle is probably just at the Entry Level, but since he is at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm and his True Yuan is far more powerful than ours, his speed is not to be underestimated.”
“If we can learn this step technique to the Advanced Level, I believe we could escape Elder Martial Uncle’s pursuit.”
“Silly, Junior Brother,” An Zhisu sighed helplessly with a laugh, “This technique clearly requires profound understanding; how could it be so easy to learn?”
Ling Yunpo fell silent for a mont before saying:
“How do we know if we don’t try?”
Senior Sister has an Innate Sword Heart, but I have the Green Duckweed Sword to cheat… oh no, I an, to give a helping hand. There should still be hope.
Otherwise, even if we manage to escape from this place, by the ti we are ready to leave the swamp, wouldn’t we just be caught by that mad Sword Immortal and yet again enter an endless cycle of fleeing for our lives?
And next ti, we might not be lucky enough to have a poison rat to lead the disaster elsewhere!
“Well, okay then.” An Zhisu was soone easily persuaded (by her Junior Brother), and seeing how persistent he was, she could only agree.
So she drew the Flying Smoke Sword, first activated the Sword Dao Techniques on it to turn the corpses hugging a tree to ashes and buried them underground to clear the space, then she began to study with Ling Yunpo.
“Senior Sister, you understand it all, right?” Ling Yunpo thought it crucial to focus on boosting Senior Sister An’s progress, to teach her as quickly as possible. “Could you perform it once for to see?”
“Oh,” An Zhisu’s figure flickered, and she instantly flashed out more than thirty feet away.
Ling Yunpo: ???
This strange feeling, it’s like at a school dance, teaching a girl how to dance hand in hand, only for her to get it after just one look and even dance better than you.
An Innate Sword Heart really is too much of a cheat!
“Wow, worthy of being Senior Sister!” He then broke into a sincere, admiring smile and exclaid, “There are several places I still don’t understand.”
“Which parts don’t you understand?” An Zhisu asked earnestly.
“Here, here, and here.” Ling Yunpo pointed out several difficult areas on the scripture, which he had already mastered.
“Let teach you,” An Zhisu said with a smile, “Could you try going through it once for to see?”
“Okay.” Ling Yunpo couldn’t help but laugh and cry, pretending to be a beginner and stumbled through the steps.
“That’s not right, follow like this…” An Zhisu stepped behind him, their bodies close together, and hand in hand, she taught him how to move his feet, twist his waist, and step on the ground.
“I see.” Ling Yunpo was secretly delighted, but he said, “Senior Sister, I also don’t know how to do this part.”
“This incantation is too vague. What does it an?”
“And here, can you teach this too?”
An Zhisu patiently led him through the whole step technique three or four tis until he could perform it decently.
However, according to the scripture, Ling Yunpo’s proficiency could only be considered “Entry Level,” while An Zhisu had already reached the “Advanced Level.”
“Senior Sister, am I very useless?” Ling Yunpo feigned sadness.
“How could that be!” An Zhisu was anxious in her heart and hurriedly said, “It must be because it’s too dark in this underground space. Junior Brother, let lead you through it a few more tis.”
Ling Yunpo happily complied and let Senior Sister An teach him hand in hand, body to body, once again. He said:
“Senior Sister, I think I’ve grasped the knack of it.”
“See, isn’t it simple?” An Zhisu sighed in relief with a gentle smile, “Your talent is not bad, Junior Brother, you’ll have no problem learning this step technique.”
“Yes, Senior Sister,” Ling Yunpo said, feigning determination, “No matter how difficult this step technique is, with you teaching , I will definitely learn it!”
[Unyielding persona, Synchronization Value 1.]
Ling Yunpo was overjoyed to increase his Synchronization Value.
