Chapter 189: Wait! Let Your Master Get Closer! At the peak of Luoxia Peak, purple mist drifted in from the east. Disciples in deep meditation were startled awake, staring in astonishment at the swirling purple aura at the mountaintop. Xu An took a swig from his wine flask and sighed with a wry smile. “That little junior sister is absolutely insane. She’s only been in the Sword Pavilion for how long? And this is already her third enlightenment?” At the foot of the mountain, Yue Qianchi lay sprawled across the treetop, gazing at the bright moon above. The grass stem in his mouth stopped swaying as he muttered, “Tsk... Is there something wrong with the feng shui down here? Or am I just too untalented? No, no, that’s not it! It has to be because Li Qingran is gifted... and because her master teaches her so well!” Flipping down from the tree, Yue Qianchi hopped onto his flying sword and sped toward the Sect Leader’s Hall. She didn’t care anymore. Today, Su Qinian to make her achieve enlightenment too. If not, she was camping outside his door until he did! ... “Disciple Qingran thanks Master for his guidance!” Li Qingran’s eyes burned with determination as she bowed deeply to the floating face in her palm. “I am now just one step away from reaching the Foundation Establishment Peak! Before the Zhongzhou Secret Realm opens, I will surely achieve completion!” Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was all thanks to Master! Without his teachings, how could she have cultivated so quickly? If that was the case... She should do her best to cooperate with his tests. Chen Huai’an maintained a calm expression on the outside, but inside, his mind was in turmoil—filled with question marks. What the hell did he say that made Li Qingran achieve enlightenment?! Why was it that they both had human brains, but she could reach enlightenment while he was still stuck at the Qi Refinement Third Layer?! Meanwhile, Li Qingran had already started contemplating his question and quickly came up with an answer. “Master, I know a technique called ” “It’s a secret art I learned in Qingyun Sect, originally used to locate dragon veins and usually paired with Dragon-Seeking Incense. However, I’ve made some slight modifications, allowing it to track enemies instead. The best part—it doesn’t require any special materials!” As she spoke, a hint of pride slipped into her tone. But under Chen Huai’an’s gaze, she quickly lowered her head, fingers tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I... I only made a minor modification. Compared to a great cultivator like Master, who can create techniques from scratch, it’s nothing… But I will work hard to be like you!” Chen Huai’an: “...” He was starting to worry about how to explain himself when they met in person. But he couldn’t break character now. He had no choice but to keep bluffing. With a faint smile, he said with an air of wisdom, “The level of mastery I possess isn’t something you can surpass so easily. You still have much to learn.” “Now, this secret technique of yours sounds promising, but since you modified it yourself, there could be flaws. Show me how it works—I’ll assess it for you.” “Yes, Master.” Li Qingran obediently nodded, then turned around and— Her fingers hooked onto the sash of her robe, giving it a light pull. The silk slid off her shoulders like cascading moonlight. Her long, ebony hair spilled down her back like ink, filling the air with a delicate fragrance. The floral screen behind her swayed as if stirred by her scent. Her spine, as straight as a sword’s sheath carved from fresh snow, bore a single beauty mark beneath her shoulder—like a drop of ink on a jade scroll. As she lifted her arms to adjust her hair, the mark flickered under the candlelight. Chen Huai’an was dumbfounded. He had expected Li Qingran to be this... straightforward. This girl... Was she embarrassed?! The robe slipped past her waist, barely caught by the curve of her hips. She cradled her shoulders with slender arms, tilting her head slightly. Her porcelain-white neck flushed coral pink, a warm glow trickling down like the first light of dawn. Her cool fingertips brushed against her scarlet earlobes, but the blush escaped through her fingers, creeping up to her cheeks. She embarrassed. Chen Huai’an could tell. She was just holding it in. “Master, I will now demonstrate the meridian flow of ...” Her delicate voice carried from the front. Li Qingran kept her head lowered, hands resting at her sides, her fingertips trembling slightly. A layer of mist covered the polished bronze mirror near the window, veiling her reflection. She sighed softly in relief. Then— A voice rang out behind her. “Wait!” “Since my current form affects my vision... let your Master get !” Li Qingran: “...” She heard soft rustling sounds behind her. And then... She felt it. His breath. Warm. Brushing against the dip of her lower back. Goosebumps spread across her skin. Her heart quivered, the corners of her eyes tinged red. Her long lashes trembled, catching the mist of her breath. Fingers clenched tight around the sash of her robe. The candle wick crackled, startling her. The word “Master” caught in her throat, her voice trembling. She bit her lip, nearly drawing blood. Finally, she managed to stammer, “...Can we... start now?” “Go ahead.” ... ... The meridian path of was much more intricate than Perhaps because the technique itself was of a higher level... Or because Li Qingran had personally modified it, making it somewhat disorganized. Even after watching her demonstrate it seven or eight times, Chen Huai’an still felt lost. So he simply recorded the entire process. Of course, there was also the possibility that his was simply not suitable for studying techniques. “Master... Your nose is bleeding.” Li Qingran, now properly dressed, turned around and gasped at the sight of blood trickling down from Chen Huai’an’s nose. Instinctively, she cupped his hand in hers and examined him closely. Unexpectedly— His nose blood. Li Qingran hesitated, then... Licked her lips. “D-Disciple, stop!” Chen Huai’an felt like he was about to die on the spot. Frantically, he shouted, “That sinister entity has come to attack! It hit me and made my nose bleed! We’ll stop here for today—I’m off to beat it up!” Right on cue, his session ended. Chen Huai’an immediately logged out. The room fell silent. The hand bearing his facial features vanished from Li Qingran’s grasp. For a long moment, she remained still, dazed. Then, slowly, she climbed back onto her bed, knees drawn to her chest. Her unbound hair draped over her shoulders like a curtain. The candlelight flickered, casting twin shadows—one curled at the bed’s edge, the other stretching over her folded legs. “I want to see Master...” She murmured softly, reaching for a piece of black jade at her waist—her personal spiritual artifact, disguised as a pendant. Infusing it with spiritual energy, the back of the jade revealed a glowing number— 35. Her “But... it still seems so far away...” Her sigh melted into the moonlight. The candle on her table flickered in the night breeze. A droplet of wax fell onto the half-finished sachet beside it. The silk thread embroidered with the words snapped once more. ... ... [Li Qingran’s Affinity Score: ♥35] [Please continue your efforts. The one-time-use ‘True Immersion’ gloves have expired.] “Yo, wait a second.” Chen Huai’an wiped his still-dripping nose, chuckling wryly. “This is starting to feel like some setting...” His face darkened. He had been chugging those health-boosting tonics left by the former governor at the Demon Slayer Bureau, thinking Now, it seemed... he might have overdone it. “All the pieces are in place... Just need one final push.” Suppressing all unnecessary thoughts, he muttered a Buddhist chant. His top priority... Was mastering before midnight. ... ...
