Chapter 3 Yantian (Part 3) On an island surrounded by lakes, there lived a...
After the ceremony of accepting a disciple was over, Chi Wanyin's most important thing was to learn how to draw Qi into the body.
To this end, she practiced in the bamboo house on Liuyun Peak every day, listening to the rustling sound of bamboo leaves outside.
That day, Chi Wanyin had just circulated her spiritual energy through her meridians when she heard some noise outside.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Chi Wanyin secretly gathered her true energy and pushed open the wooden door to check.
Seeing that the person coming was Liu Qianhe, Chi Wanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and let down her guard, saying, "So it's Senior Sister Liu."
Liu Qianhe had a smile on his lips, "Who else do you think it is? Your senior sister Song Qingtang?"
As the two of them talked, Liu Qianhe took out the storage bag hidden in his sleeve and said, "Song Qingtang left and asked me to send you something."
Chi Wanyin took it without hesitation. She knew that this should be the cultivation resource that Yantian Sect disciples should receive every month.
In fact, it would be easy to send something to her with just a little fairy servant. The reason why Liu Qianhe had to go there was probably because her senior sister was worried about her.
"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Sister Liu." Chi Wanyin said obediently.
Liu Qianhe waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of convenience. I'm not like your senior sister, who was born to work hard."
Chi Wanyin guessed that Song Qingtang must have gone out on a sect mission. As the best disciple of Yantian Sect's generation, he was naturally very busy on weekdays.
After speaking a few more words to Liu Qianhe, she said goodbye to Chi Wanyin. Chi Wanyin then looked down at the storage bag in her hand. It was just an ordinary style, but inside it were thirty fasting pills and three hundred spirit stones.
Monks believe that eating too much worldly grains will hinder the flow of spiritual energy, so they take more fasting pills, but these fasting pills don’t taste very good.
Chi Wanyin just took a look at it and then put the things away. She was now in Yantian Sect, so the spirit stones were of no use to her for the time being. However, they would be very necessary if she went to a mortal town.
As for the fasting pills, they would come in handy since she had to practice meditation this month. However, Chi Wanyin still missed the meal she had in the dining hall that day, so she decided to wait until she finished her practice before feasting on it.
In this way, Chi Wanyin practiced for a month and finally achieved the great perfection of Qi training. However, she was not in a hurry to build the foundation. She had not found her natal sword yet. If she could build the foundation with her natal sword after finding it, it would be more perfect.
Thinking of this, she pushed open the wooden door. Outside the door was mist and bamboo forest. After completing her Qi training, her perception of the environment became more acute, and her spiritual awareness became stronger. She could even sense a falling bamboo leaf in the bamboo forest.
Chi Wanyin was quite satisfied with this, and called the crane to ride on it to the dining hall.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that she arrived at the time when the outer sect disciples were leaving school. Seeing the huge crowd, Chi Wanyin really didn't want to be squeezed like a dumpling, so she decided to wait outside for a while.
However, after completing her Qi training, her perception became different from that of ordinary people, and the words and conversations of the disciples passing by would naturally fall into her ears one by one.
"The Sword Tomb is about to open again this year. I wonder if I can choose a good sword."
"Don't think about you anymore. Senior Sister will also be entering the Sword Tomb this year. The best sword must belong to Senior Sister."
These words brought Chi Wanyin back to her memories. She still remembered that she met Shishui when she entered the Sword Tomb... But Shishui did not choose her, but chose her senior sister.
It was at this moment that she began to hate Song Qingtang.
To her now, this was just a trivial matter, but for Chi Wanyin, who was eager to be recognized at that time, the seeds of hatred had already been planted at that moment.
When she came back to her senses, the two disciples who were talking had already walked away, and there were fewer people in front of the dining hall. Only then did Chi Wanyin step into the room.
After feasting on the meal, Chi Wanyin lamented that the days of taking fasting pills were really difficult. After all, her body was only that of a teenager now, and she was too thin before. Now that she came to Yantian Sect, she could finally eat her fill.
However, Chi Wanyin did not plan to return to Liuyun Peak directly after eating. After all, he had already completed his Qi training, and there would be no further progress in his cultivation if he did not establish a foundation.
When Liu Qianhe took her to familiarize herself with the sect, she had already memorized the route. After thinking it over, she decided to go find Liu Qianhe, her only acquaintance in the sect.

At Izumo Peak, Liu Qianhe was busy in the herb garden.
When Chi Wanyin landed on the crane, she saw Liu Qianhe watering and fertilizing the spiritual herbs as diligently as an old farmer.
Chi Wanyin called out, "Senior Sister Liu."
Liu Qianhe, who had lowered his head, raised his eyes, took a quick look, and said, "Have you reached the perfection of Qi training now?"
Chi Wanyin got down from the crane and walked quickly towards her. "Of course I can't hide it from Senior Sister." She didn't intend to hide it from her, and she wouldn't tell anyone anyway.
Liu Qianhe stood up and nodded with a smile, "Yes, your talent is rare."
Chi Wanyin smiled bitterly in her heart. This was just because she relied on the mental method of her previous life to quickly get started. When she was building her foundation in her previous life, her speed was naturally compared with that of her senior sister.
At this point, Liu Qianhe remembered again, "By the way, Song Qingtang should also come back when the sword tomb opens. Do you want to go with her?" She knew that Chi Wanyin must be looking for a sword.
Chi Wanyin was slightly stunned. "It depends on what Senior Sister thinks about this matter." She said this vaguely.
Liu Qianhe didn't mention it, but handed her a porcelain bottle and said, "Take it. It should be useful when the sword tomb is opened."
Chi Wanyin knew that Liu Qianhe was a man of few words, so she simply took the porcelain bottle and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Liu."
Liu Qianhe frowned, "Why are you thanking me? You are Song Qingtang's junior sister. It's only natural that you should take care of her when she's not around."
Chi Wanyin smiled when she heard that. In her previous life, she was eager to practice, so she was not familiar with Liu Qianhe. However, she also knew that Liu Qianhe was straightforward and loyal, otherwise he would not have chased her for Song Qingtang's injury in her previous life.
Liu Qianhe patted her shoulder again and said, "Senior Sister believes that you will be able to find your own sword."
The smile on Chi Wanyin's lips froze for a moment. She didn't know whether she could find this sword in this life.

When Song Qingtang returned, it was snowing lightly.
However, this scene only lasts outside the sect's magic circle. Inside the sect, it is still spring all year round.
Standing on the three thousand steps was a red umbrella. When the person under the umbrella saw her figure, he hurried forward and said, "Senior Sister."
Chi Wanyin's hands were already red from the cold, but when she saw Song Qingtang, she still had a beautiful smile on her face.
In Song Qingtang's opinion, she seemed to have grown a little taller, which was naturally a good thing. Almost subconsciously, she stroked her head.
Chi Wanyin was stunned for a moment before she said, "I heard from Senior Sister Liu that you were coming back today, so I thought of coming here to pick you up."
Song Qingtang had already taken the red umbrella from her hand and cast a small spell to keep warm before talking about business. "The sword tomb is about to open, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to come back."
Chi Wanyin nodded, "Senior Sister, is the Mortal Realm fun?"
Song Qingtang thought for a moment before replying, "It's fun. Once you get the sword, I'll take you on a tour of the Mortal Realm."
"Is it okay?" The girl had a hopeful look on her face.
"I never lie." Song Qingtang lowered his eyelashes as he spoke. The two of them had already walked all the way to Liuyun Peak, and they would reach the bamboo house further ahead.
Before leaving, Song Qingtang cast another spell, summoning a ball of light emitting a slight warmth and stuffing it into Chi Wanyin's hand, "Don't freeze yourself anymore." For a foundation-building cultivator, this was just a trivial spell. Chi Wanyin didn't expect that she could actually do it.
So Chi Wanyin smiled. She was not afraid of the cold, but she agreed.
After Song Qingtang left, the spell lasted all night, and that warm feeling seemed to envelop her.
The next day, Master Huaiyu gathered everyone together. Opening the sword tomb was a big event, so he naturally had to give detailed instructions before leaving.
Afterwards, everyone arrived at the sword tomb through the sect's teleportation array. Most of the swords in the sword tomb were ownerless or their owners were dead. However, finding a sword also depends on fate, after all, a sword is also a spirit weapon.
Chi Wanyin originally planned to go it alone, but once they passed the teleportation array, Song Qingtang took her hand and said, "Junior sister, let's go together."
Chi Wanyin guessed that Liu Qianhe must have said something to her, but even though she was going the same way as her, Chi Wanyin knew which sword she would take, so she was not worried.
But which sword did she want to take?
In her previous life, she chose Shishui, but it was just an act of competitiveness. After all, Shishui was an extraordinary weapon, and she wanted to prove that she was no worse than her senior sister.
Now, this question needed to be carefully considered. Seeing that she was too lost in thought, Song Qingtang called her, "Junior sister, have you decided which sword to take?"
Chi Wanyin shook her head, and Song Qingtang comforted her, "It's okay. You can always find a sword that suits you in this sword tomb."
This place is said to be a sword tomb, and there are monsters lurking in the edge of the area. Song Qingtang dealt with them one by one, but she did not even take off the disciple sword on her back.
Chi Wanyin couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed the person in the sect most likely to become the youngest to advance to the Golden Core stage.
This time the sword tomb was opened, and besides the Yantian Sect, people from other sects also came to look for the sword. However, most of them did not dare to target Chi Wanyin. After all, although they did not know Chi Wanyin, they recognized Song Qingtang.
The two of them walked together all the way until they came to a lake.
On the island surrounded by the lake, there grows a bright peach tree, and under the tree stands a green long sword.
Looking at this familiar scene, Chi Wanyin was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to her previous life.
Seeing her sudden realization, Song Qingtang thought she didn't understand, so he explained, "This sword is called Flowing Water, but I've only seen it in ancient books. The water surrounding the Flowing Water Sword is nothing ordinary."
