Chapter 9 My Junior Sister is Actually a Big Shot? Insights from a Golden Core Cultivator? What am I...?
Everyone simultaneously used their spiritual power to sense it, and then gasped – late stage of Qi Refining!
She only needs one opportunity to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
But she's clearly a new disciple who just entered the sect, and hasn't even attended any classes yet!
The way everyone looked at Shi Liuying was no longer simple.
"I told you, he's a very experienced old monster."
A powerful being who failed to transcend the tribulation during the period of decline!
Everyone looked at Shi Liuying with a sense of reverence.
Look at the halo around him, it's just like Buddha's light.
Look at that calm and composed demeanor, so much like a big shot.
Even Jun Lintian, the sect's number one genius, took three months to go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.
Someone shoved Yi Ruoyun, saying, "Junior Sister Yi, go and apologize to Xiao... apologize to her."
"That's right, you insist on saying that someone is pursuing Elder Chongcang and even came up aggressively to try to harm her."
"Heavens above! I knew there was finally a female disciple in this sect who wasn't blinded by this... male fox. There are still people with discerning eyes."
That's why people call him a big shot.
Yi Ruoyun was pushed and pulled by the crowd, and slowly got closer to Shi Liuying.
She went from frowning, angry, and unwilling to gradually becoming confused, shocked, and regretful.
Confused about what he was doing, shocked that he was so malicious as to want to see his fellow disciples make a fool of themselves, and regretting that he had acted stupidly and targeted a big shot.
When Yi Ruoyun stood in front of Shi Liuying, she was almost in tears.
She didn't know what was wrong with her mind. Did she really like Elder Chongcang? Thinking about it carefully, she didn't think so. Did she really have any reason to like Chongcang?
"Junior sister... no, Venerable Liuying, I am the poster on the forum... Chong Cang's one and only Daoist partner..."
Saying my online name out loud makes me feel incredibly ashamed, like I could dig a villa out of my toes.
Shi Liuying felt something was strange.
This senior sister transformed from a fierce wolf into a docile sheep.
All of this happened in just a few steps.
Shi Liuying stared at her, trying to see the true face beneath the mask.
But the regret in her eyes was very real, sweat was beading on her forehead, and she was hitting her other hand hard with one hand.
Shi Liuying felt that if she weren't concerned about her image, she would have punched herself in the forehead and then spun around and fell down.
She seemed unwilling to face reality.
Yi Ruoyun bowed deeply: "I'm so sorry for the psychological harm I caused you!"
Shi Liuying, with an extremely slow reaction time, thought for a moment about her only connection with him: "You mean the forum?"
Yi Ruoyun's guilt was so overwhelming that it threatened to drown her. She turned into a tearful tomato seed, only able to cover her mouth and nod.
Shi Liuying replied earnestly, just like she would in a forum post: "You don't know the facts, that's not your fault, you weren't a participant in this matter."
“I have stated the facts, and that is enough.”
"You've already apologized, so I forgive you now."
Yi Ruoyun glanced at Shi Liuying through teary eyes, then stared blankly.
Is this the tolerance of a Venerable One in the Heavenly Decline stage?
Waaah, such a venerable one is the one she should follow! Why did she have to fall for that cold and unlikable Chong Cang?
Yi Ruoyun left in the end, feeling guilty.
Among those who came with her, some left on their own after watching the show, some were deeply moved by the breakthrough and vowed to cultivate diligently, and others were convinced that Shi Liuying was some kind of powerful figure who had failed his tribulation and wanted to build a good relationship with her to inquire about her cultivation insights.
Shi Liuying was surrounded by a group of people, and she answered their questions one by one.
"I don't know how I broke through. I just encountered a bottleneck and then figured out a way to solve it."
"It's Elder Chongcang's excellent teaching that made him effective. He may not seem to be teaching, but he actually taught us everything."
"Yes, I am indeed cultivating, not because I like it, but because you all know that now."
"Golden Core stage? That's too far away. I don't even know how to break through to the Golden Core stage yet. Do you have any tips for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"Don't talk about making a fool of yourself or being a laughingstock. I really don't understand!"
At first, Shi Liuying was able to deal with it calmly, but later she was in a real bind.
What's wrong with them? They rushed up and surrounded her, shouting things like "big boss" and "venerable one."
He even asked her about her cultivation experience at the Golden Core stage. Good heavens, how could she possibly know the insights of an extremely powerful Golden Core cultivator?
Shi Liuying waved her hand: "You guys have really misunderstood. I'm not some big shot."
Then Shi Liuying felt that something was even more wrong.
They looked at her with knowing eyes, and without exception, they all tacitly agreed to call her "junior sister" again.
Everyone: It's okay that the big boss needs to hide his identity and strength, we completely understand!
A group of people who firmly believed that Shi Liuying was a big shot wisely went down the mountain without disturbing her too much.
Shi Liuying, who thought she had finally explained things clearly, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Once it was explained clearly, they finally understood.
Chong Cang remained standing in the shadows behind the tree, minimizing his presence, and kept his gaze fixed on Shi Liuying with a complex expression.
It wasn't until Shi Liuying searched everywhere and turned a corner that she saw him.
Shi Liuying looked at him sincerely and said thank you from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"
A hint of confusion appeared in Chong Cang's complex eyes. What had he done?
Oh, Dharma Protector.
"There's no need for thanks for protecting me. As an elder of the sect, I will not allow any disciple to encounter danger during their advancement."
Shi Liuying shook her head: "It's instruction."
Chong Cang: What did I teach you? How come I don't know?
During this time, besides frantically avoiding her, what else did I do?
Shi Liuying's eyes burned: "The elder deliberately refused to see me to test my perseverance!"
Chong Cang: ...
"you……"
You've misunderstood.
"The question I would like to ask the elder is, how should I deal with the swelling and pain in my dantian when I try to draw qi into my body? The elder guided me to climb Tianji Peak, the steepest peak in the sect, again and again, so that I could use this most basic method to consume my spiritual energy."
Chong Cang: "You..."
You chose to climb Tianji Peak yourself.
"As spiritual energy is consumed and accumulated, the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored in my dantian increases, making it easier for me to climb Tianji Peak."
Chong Cang: "You..."
The result of your hard work.
Shi Liuying fell into a moment of reminiscence: "Of course, Senior Brother Jun Lintian also played a part in this. The swordsmanship he used in the competition gave me some insights..."
Chong Cang's eyes flashed, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
"Therefore, all of this is thanks to Elder Chongcang."
Chong Cang's mouth moved faster than his brain: "You're right."
"No, what I mean is that all of this is inseparable from your own efforts."
Shi Liuying: "After spending this month together, I have come to know the elder's temperament. I have benefited greatly from the elder's guidance this time, and I will not bother the elder any further."
Chong Cang: ? ? ?
Shi Liuying added, "I know that the elder prefers quiet and doesn't like to see people."
A quiet, reserved mimosa that loves the night.
Chong Cang: "I..."
I am not like that.
Shi Liuying looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so I'll head down the mountain now. Elder, you should also get some rest."
She said goodbye politely, turned around, and left.
Chong Cang watched her retreating figure, devoid of any lingering affection, like a mute who had swallowed a bitter pill.
Chong Cang slowly walked back to his little wooden house. The moon was already hanging in the sky, and the occasional chirping of crickets and grasshoppers could be heard all around. He sat quietly on the edge of the bed, with only his shadow on the ground.
For the first time in his life, Chong Cang, who was aloof and loved quiet, felt a little bit of loneliness.
The scene of Shi Liuying practicing at his doorstep during the day involuntarily popped into his mind.
Shi Liuying couldn't hear anything, but he could hear the conversations around him very clearly.
"Goodness... So what she said on the forum, about cultivating, really meant cultivating."
forum.
Chong Cang lay on the bed, like a rat-man with no purpose, surrounded by darkness, with only his face glowing.
He was browsing forum posts.
[New disciple Shi Liuying is infatuated with Elder Chongcang, truly ignorant of her own limitations. Pictures don't lie! (hot)]
Ignorant of one's own limitations?
Chong Cang frowned.
That's taking it too seriously. She just wants to cultivate, what's wrong with that?
The more Chong Cang read through the comments of the sect disciples inside, the more he frowned.
The mockery of Shi Liuying, and the subtle dig at his fox form.
Indeed, he's a fox spirit, and he's bound to this system, surrounded by a group of women every day. So what's wrong with calling him a male fox spirit?
Chong Cang gave a self-deprecating laugh.
His brows relaxed slightly only when he saw Shi Liuying's comment.
I'm not pursuing Elder Chongcang; I simply want to cultivate under his guidance. He's the mentor elder assigned to me by the sect.
His reply was serious and calm, methodical and meticulous.
She wasn't affected by these opinions; she's a carefree person.
Chongcang's thumb continued to slide, then paused for a long time.
Elder Chongcang did not use any bewitching magic; he was a highly skilled and virtuous elder.
A highly accomplished elder?
Him?
Chong Cang's eyelashes trembled.
-
The next morning, the air inside the Transmission Hall was filled with a misty spiritual energy that flowed like a thin veil.
Dozens of newly initiated disciples, dressed in uniform disciple robes, sat in pairs on prayer mats.
The faint sounds of conversation swarmed like bees buzzing together.
Shi Liuying sat in her seat, intending to close her eyes and meditate, but the fellow practitioner sitting next to her seemed very strange.
"I heard that this new elder hasn't taught a class in two hundred years, let alone taught a new disciple." A tall disciple's brows were full of excitement.
"We are really lucky. This elder's Taoist skills are profound, and his strength is far above any of the teaching elders."
Do you know what this elder's name is?
"How could I dare to inquire? I've only heard that he prefers to live alone, is taciturn, and especially has that head of silver-gray hair..."
"Hey, stop talking, shh—"
Before the words were finished, the light outside the palace gates seemed to distort slightly.
All sounds ceased abruptly, and every gaze was fixed intently on the preaching platform.
Chong Cang stood against the light, looked around at all his disciples, and finally fixed his gaze on Shi Liuying.
"I am your Elder of Transmission, Chong Cang."
