Ye Sisi, eager to ascend to heaven, rushed to the cafeteria, expecting a feast. But instead of food, there wasn't a soul in sight. Huh? She clearly completed her mission! This is too cruel! She completed her mission but isn't even given food?

Rubbing her rumbling stomach, Ye Sisi went to the kitchen to see if there were any ingredients, even just to make some porridge!

Fortunately, her unscrupulous chef wasn't completely unscrupulous; although there wasn't any ready-made food, there were still plenty of ingredients in the kitchen cabinets.

Fortunately, she had no trouble in her previous life and enjoyed cooking, otherwise she might have become the first cultivator to starve to death.

After wolfing down her food, Ye Sisi returned to her cave. At that moment, she missed her soft bed terribly. If it weren't for this stone bed that made it hard to sit on, she would have fallen asleep immediately.

Well, although the days of slacking off are enjoyable, she must always remember that she is the number one unfortunate cannon fodder. If she doesn't get involved today, she might be killed by the heroine's halo tomorrow.

After a month of cutting down trees in the Ironwood Forest, Ye Sisi had become completely accustomed to the intensity of the task. At the beginning, it took her about fourteen or fifteen hours to finish cutting down trees, but now she only needs eight or nine hours to complete the task. Her cultivation level was commensurate with her efforts, and she had now reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This speed is terrifying. Breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in a month is either due to using improper means to force an improvement, or it's due to boundless talent.

In fact, Ye Sisi was neither of those. She was forced into it. No wonder none of the disciples of Qingyun Sect could beat those of Tianling Sect from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul. If they trained them like that, they would be fine too.

That day, Ye Sisi was about to finish work when her senior brother Su Jiuli, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, appeared in front of her. Apart from Bai Luochen, who would come to accompany her to cut trees in the morning, she hadn't seen any other people during this period, so it was quite a novelty.

Seeing such a handsome senior brother, Ye Sisi was in a good mood, so she smiled sweetly and asked, "Senior brother, what brings you here?"

"He's grown quite a bit taller, and his cultivation level is pretty good too. Looks like he hasn't been slacking off lately!"

Meeting her senior brother's smiling gaze, Ye Sisi couldn't help but twitch her lips. How could she dare to slack off? Although she hadn't seen her cheap master for a month, she was certain that her every move was under his surveillance. Don't ask her how she knew; it was just a woman's intuition.

"Come on, junior sister, your master is going to teach you something new!"

This time, she couldn't hold back her smile any longer. She wanted to say that chopping wood was good, and that she didn't want to learn anything new, because the so-called new thing would probably be farming, but she didn't dare to say it.

Following Su Jiuli to the training ground, Meng Tianyuan was instructing Bai Luochen on sword practice. Rather than instructing, it was more like beating up his disciple.

Ye Sisi was too weak; all she could see was her master's sword striking Bai Luochen repeatedly.

Su Jiuli said, "Every time Master draws his sword, he is pointing out Fifth Junior Brother's weakness. No one in the entire Cangxuan Continent can compare to our Master in the art of swordsmanship!"

Ye Sisi looked up at Su Jiuli and found that his eyes were full of admiration. So it turned out that her cheap master was also her senior brother's idol. But then again, her master was not only handsome and strong, but he was also too harsh on his disciples.

"How could I have such a stupid apprentice like you? You made the same mistake three times! Do you even have a brain? If you were fighting an enemy, your corpse would be cold by now!"

"I already told you you're lifting it too high. Are you exposing your belly because you think you have so much flesh that no one's sword can pierce through it!"

"You only know how to use your hands? What about magic? What about your legs? Did they separate from you or something?"

Ye Sisi swore she really didn't mean to laugh; her cheap master's mouth was truly venomous. But she quickly stopped laughing!

"If you don't master this sword technique today, you'd better go to Purgatory Peak and reflect on your actions! Sisi, come up here!"

Bai Luochen breathed a sigh of relief and gave Ye Sisi a "good luck" look as she stepped off the stage. Ye Sisi had thought she would be assigned to farming, but she didn't expect to be here to learn something new. So, although she was a little nervous, she was still very happy.

"Sisi, today I'll teach you a set of light-body steps. Watch carefully!"

Ye Sisi nodded, her eyes fixed on Meng Tianyuan's steps. Although Meng Tianyuan had slowed down to an extremely low speed, it was still so fast that Ye Sisi could only see his afterimage.

"Have you learned it?"

Ye Sisi...

Did her master misunderstand her? Although she is quick to learn, shouldn't he at least let her see how to take the steps?

But when she saw Meng Tianyuan's somewhat serious face, she still honestly said, "Master, you're too fast, I can't see clearly!"

Meng Tianyuan took a breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to curse, and said, "Alright, I'll demonstrate again, so you can see it clearly!"

Ye Sisi nodded, feeling a little uneasy. This time, she focused her attention even more. Although Meng Tianyuan was still very fast, she managed to see most of it.

"Have you learned it?"

Ye Sisi nodded hesitantly: "It should be about right!"

"Alright, go and show your master!"

Ye Sisi composed herself and started walking in Meng Tianyuan's footsteps. She felt that she was moving very fast, like a gust of wind, and her body became very light, as if she had lost her weight.

"Are you trying to float up to the sky? Lightness isn't a movement technique; it's for fighting enemies and escaping. Are you trying to compete in a beauty contest?"

Ye Sisi's smug expression instantly cracked; cultivating immortality was really difficult!

"Take another step to the left, what's wrong with your legs?! You came here to learn body movement techniques, not to learn how to take tiny, shuffling steps!"

"That's too far a step. Your feet are part of your body, can't you control them properly?!"

...

Ye Sisi...

She was devastated. She wanted to go home, sleep with her teddy bear, and go shopping with her best friend!

"That concludes our practice of the Lightness Step for today. Next, your master will teach you a set of basic sword techniques!"

Ye Sisi wanted to say that the moon was already in the sky and she hadn't eaten yet, but she didn't dare. Today she had truly experienced how terrifying her master was.

"In martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon. Today's Qingfeng Sword Technique is paired with the Light Body Step, and its emphasis is all about speed!"

Ye Sisi focused her attention on the longsword in Meng Tianyuan's hand, simulating it in her mind over and over again. Perhaps all her talent lay in swordsmanship, as she learned it very quickly this time. Although she only had a superficial understanding, at least her master didn't scold her.

"Good, that's enough for today's practice. Tomorrow morning, you'll continue to Ironwood Forest, and in the afternoon, go to Spirit Field to find your fifth senior brother. He'll teach you how to do it. I'll check your homework again tonight!"

Ye Sisi...

Is she really going to go back to farming?
