Chapter 189 Qi Zibo advances the cultivation technique in his storage ring
"I'm back." After returning to Danque Peak, Qi Zibo didn't continue cultivating. Instead, he thoroughly tidied up his residence, putting everything he needed to take into his storage ring. This left Qi Zibo's residence much emptier and devoid of any signs of life.
Song Yin approached and helped roll up the scrolls, then handed them to Qi Zibo, "Master, what are you doing?"
Qi Zibo took down the remaining paintings on the wall. "Pack your things in advance. I'm just one step away from breaking through. After I finish packing, I'll break through and undergo the tribulation of lightning, and then move directly into the forbidden area."
The same thing happened at Wujian Peak.
Song Yin paused in her hand as she helped pack the things: "Danque Peak is so big, it's fine to leave it here."
"Go away, go away." Qi Zibo said with disdain, "I have finally been able to get rid of worldly affairs completely, and you still want to keep me on Danque Peak? Don't even think about it! Don't forget that when I took you as my disciple, my greatest hope was that you could quickly take over the worldly affairs from me."
He continued in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Don't think I don't know you have the same intentions as Chu Tang."
Song Yin chuckled, realizing she'd been seen through.
Qi Zibo has already met Chu Tang and found her to be a promising talent. Most importantly, the child only recognizes Song Yin, which is a great thing.
In the cultivation world, there are disciples who betray their masters and ancestors; who wouldn't want to take in a sensible, obedient, and filial disciple?
What Song Yin didn't know was that the areas Qi Zibo and Wen Zhiling had each chosen in the forbidden area were very close to her. As long as Song Yin lived in the forbidden area, she could visit them at any time.
After Song Yin helped tidy everything up, Qi Zibo went to cultivate, making his final sprint to break through. Knowing that he was about to break through, Qi Zibo did not stay on Danque Peak, but instead chose the isolated island that was often visited by high-level cultivators undergoing tribulations.
Three months later, thunderclouds gathered over the isolated island. It was not as large as the scale when many people underwent tribulation after they came out of the ancient battlefield, but it was still frightening to behold.
Qi Zibo broke through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, with Song Yin and Lou Shuhe present, while Wen Zhiling continued her cultivation on a distant, isolated island. Qi Zibo was breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, while Wen Zhiling was attempting to reach the Great Ascension stage.
Those who survived a trip to the ancient battlefield all made progress, which made those who didn't go extremely envious.
It is a great pity that the ancient battlefield has completely disappeared, and people who want to go there can no longer do so, which has caused many to regret.
No matter how many times she watched it, Song Yin was always moved by the tribulation lightning. Step by step, she ascended from a mortal to immortality. The tribulation lightning was like the last question in each stage of the exam, and also the question with the highest score.
Lou Shuhe said to Song Yin, “Your master entered the Tribulation Transcending stage at several thousand years old, and so did I. But you are different; you entered the Tribulation Transcending stage before you were four hundred years old. Such a fast cultivation speed is rare in the world. Your grandmaster is happy for you, but also worried about you.”
Song Yin: "Grandmaster is worried that my temperament is unstable, right?"
Lou Shuhe: "You know?"
Song Yin curled her lips and stared straight at the lightning tribulation: "I have always known that every breakthrough beyond my level is due to different unexpected opportunities. Without these opportunities, my cultivation level would most likely still be at the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage."
"It is precisely because I know this that I am clear that even if I do not make progress in the Tribulation Transcending stage in the next one or two hundred years, three or four hundred years, it is normal."
Whether things go fast or slow, you must maintain a stable mindset. If your mind becomes chaotic, all sorts of problems will arise.
Lou Shuhe chuckled, "You're really suited for cultivating immortality."
Song Yin wasn't modest at all; she was lively, confident, and radiant. "Who told me I wanted to be a protagonist?"
Long Aotian is someone who can handle any situation without surprising anyone.
As the two chatted, Qi Zibo's tribulation lightning gradually ended, and golden light enveloped his body, marking his successful entry into the tribulation stage.
"Congratulations, Master, on entering the Tribulation Transcending Stage! You've finally caught up with your disciple!" As everything ended, Qi Zibo flew towards the two of them, and Song Yin clapped enthusiastically.
The words were the truth, but coming from the mouth of his traitorous disciple, he felt something was off, as if the roles of master and disciple had been reversed.
Qi Zibo: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you."
With her palms facing up, Song Yin asked, "Master, since you're in such a good mood, would you be willing to sprinkle some spirit stones?"
Qi Zibo: "Go away, you have more treasures than me now, how dare you ask me for money?"
"Sorry." Song Yin said crisply, reaching out to her master was the most interesting thing.
Qi Zibo, defeated by his rebellious disciple's shamelessness, took out a spirit stone and placed it in her palm. Song Yin didn't mind the small amount and happily accepted it.
Wen Zhiling still needed some time to break through to the Mahayana stage, so Qi Zibo went to the forbidden area first to tidy up his new residence and consolidate his cultivation. When Wen Zhiling's Mahayana tribulation arrived, Qi Zibo would go with the others to protect him.
After seeing Qi Zibo off, the summit of Danque Peak seemed much emptier. Before, we knew Qi Zibo had gone out and hadn't returned; now that he had moved away, the feeling was completely different.
Only Song Yin knew this feeling; for Chu Tang and the others, it made little difference.
There were many things going on at the Immortal Cloud Sect, and other big and small things were constantly coming from the cultivation world, but they did not affect Song Yin.
Song Yin's life returned to peace. Now she no longer needed to undergo trials or participate in everything. She only needed to refine pills or practice swordsmanship every day, as well as teach her disciples and make decisions on major matters of Danque Peak.
Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The elder handover ceremony was completed decades ago. The newly admitted disciples recently are unaware of Wen Zhiling and Qi Zibo, just like Song Yin and Shi Heming back then, who were initially unaware of Lou Shuhe and other forbidden area ancestors.
Over the years, Chu Tang also left the sect to go to the mortal realm to rebury his mother. After fulfilling his obsession, Chu Tang returned to the Immortal Cloud Sect, and his cultivation level also increased significantly.
In the Immortal Cloud Sect, high-ranking cultivators who do not hold the position of elder can establish their own dojo, instead of staying on one peak and crowding together with others.
Shi Heming never left Wendao Peak to establish his own dojo. Firstly, he could go to the forbidden area; secondly, staying at Wendao Peak allowed him to see his master and senior brothers at any time; and finally, and most importantly, he could see Yinyin at any time.
Shi Heming spends most of his time at the Dao Asking Peak, and only occasionally goes to the forbidden area.
This time, he went to the forbidden area with Song Yin.
"Alas, our grandmaster has also left the forbidden area to go to the ascension site he had chosen beforehand." They came to the forbidden area to send Lou Shuhe off, and after sending Lou Shuhe off, they returned to the forbidden area with Qi Zibo and the others.
It is worth mentioning that Wen Zhiling also successfully broke through to the Mahayana stage a few years ago.
Shi Heming: "This is a good thing."
Qi Zibo said from the side, "If you can't bear to part with your grandmaster, then work hard to cultivate and strive to ascend as soon as possible."
Song Yin said with a embarrassed look, "Oh, if I ascended earlier, wouldn't I ascend even earlier than you, Master? I'm so embarrassed."
"I don't think you're embarrassed at all." Qi Zibo had long seen through her thick skin. "When I was an elder of Danque Peak, I was never as leisurely as you. You've been too idle, haven't you?"
Song Yin spread her hands: "Who told you to be too lazy to recruit disciples and take on all the work yourself?"
With Ruan Chaoxue as her capable assistant, and the help of Yu Lin and Han Changyu, Chu Tang is gradually being cultivated as well.
Qi Zibo ignored his apprentice, leaving her with his back turned, and returned to his residence with Wen Zhiling.
Only Song Yin and Shi Heming remained. Shi Heming asked Song Yin, "Shall we go back, or stay in the forbidden area for now?"
Song Yin: "The scenery in the forbidden area is beautiful and the spiritual energy is abundant. I have nothing to do these days, so it wouldn't hurt to stay here for a few more days."
So the two of them stayed in the forbidden area.
In the afternoon, Shi Heming showed Song Yin his latest achievement. Song Yin sat to the side, turning the ring on her finger as he fiddled with the array plate in front of her.
Feeling the touch from her fingers, Song Yin lowered her eyes. She was turning the storage ring that Shi Heming had given her.
Hmm, come to think of it, she hasn't really looked through what's inside. At most, she'll take a few high-level talismans or array plates, along with her own high-level pills and rare spiritual herbs, as rewards for outstanding disciples of Danque Peak.
Shi Heming was preparing diligently, while Song Yin was rummaging through her storage ring.
Among the pile of things, Song Yin was attracted by several cultivation manuals.
Song Yin: "Why are there several cultivation manuals in the storage ring you gave me?" After saying that, she took the cultivation manuals out of the storage ring to see what they were.
Shi Heming looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Cultivation techniques?" Did he have cultivation techniques in the storage ring he gave to Song Yin?
Shi Heming recalled that he had carried that storage ring with him for hundreds of years, and he couldn't really remember putting a few cultivation manuals in it for the time being.
Shi Heming tried hard to recall, until Song Yin held several unfamiliar yet familiar books in her hands, and his mind went blank.
"etc--!"
Don't look... it's too late.
He remembered how he got those cultivation manuals. He had rushed to Danque Peak because Chu Tang wanted to keep her master there, and later used his inner demons as an excuse to keep her. The next day, he pretended to take some time off and went to Xianxiao City, where he bought a few manuals at the largest shop selling them.
Dual cultivation technique.
"It's over!" These two words were all that remained in Shi Heming's mind; he couldn't think of anything else. He could only watch helplessly as Song Yin opened one of the books.
Song Yin lowered her head and skimmed through the pages, turning several pages in the next section.
Shi Heming's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Oh no, oh no! Will Yin Yin think he was too abrupt?! Back then, the situation was urgent, and he actually forgot about the dual cultivation technique!
"Yinyin..." Shi Heming called out the name, but he didn't have the courage to continue. He was so anxious and worried that the corners of his eyes even turned red.
Song Yin was engrossed in reading it, because the dual cultivation technique in her hand was different from what she knew. When she heard Shi Heming call her, she looked up and her gaze returned to Shi Heming.
"You—" Song Yin was startled. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had been bullied. Then she noticed that Shi Heming was staring at her hand, and she suddenly realized what was going on. She held up the martial arts manual, "You want to see it too?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Shi Heming's face turned even redder. "No, I, it wasn't, I..."
"Don't you want to see it? Then you want to—" Song Yin drawled, then looked down and turned the page again, "to cultivate this technique with me?"
Thump!
Song Yin looked up again and saw Shi Heming's forehead slamming heavily on the table, and he dared not look up. His bright red ears peeked out from between his black hair.
Song Yin rubbed her fingers together, the pages of the book tickling her. Suddenly, she felt an urge to pinch his ear.
I thought it that way, and that's what I did.
The two were already close, so she didn't even need to get up; she simply leaned forward, and her fingertips touched his ear.
Shi Heming clenched his fist on the table, slowly raised his head, suppressed his emotions, and leaned forward.
