Chapter 4: Cultivation
In Jian Anning's cave, Lu Fei looked up at him silently. At a certain moment, that aura made Fan Qingyue think that he had said something wrong.
When Jian An Ning heard this, she turned around and saw Lu Fei's hair, which was completely stood up by the wind and each strand was clearly distinguishable.
She inexplicably felt a little guilty, so she raised her hand and cast a small spell to restore her hair, which was as smooth as black satin, to its original shape.
Jian An Ning cleared his throat, put on the air of a hermit again, and said to Lu Fei, "Since you have entered my Yuxuan Peak, you must call me Master."
However, Jian Anning did not wait for Lu Fei to change his words. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Can I refuse?"
Even Fan Qingyue showed a bit of surprise on his face. He looked at Jian An Ning, and the words "Master, where did you snatch this disciple from?" were almost written on his face.
Jian Anning sneered and decisively refused: "No."
Then he forcefully stuffed the gift into Lu Fei's hand, pushed him to the ground, made him kneel down, and said, "Call me Master."
Lu Fei knelt down under Jian An Ning's force, his knees making a painful sound against the hard ground. He lowered his head slightly, his hair covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his thoughts.
The atmosphere in the cave dropped to freezing point in an instant. Fan Qingyue stood aside and didn't dare to speak at all. The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Until Jian An Ning's patience ran out, he turned away with a flick of his sleeves, not looking at Lu Fei's figure, and said with dissatisfaction: "Okay, okay, you despise my Yuxuan Peak? Then who do you want to become your disciple? I will personally introduce you to it, and it will definitely succeed."
"No."
Lu Fei still only said this one word.
The bright red robe flowed on the ground like blood, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
In fact, Lu Fei's heart was indeed full of hesitation.
Because from the moment Jane Anning began to approach him, his mind was filled with danger, like an instinct from his soul, like an animal encountering its natural enemy.
It seemed as if there was a voice in his heart that kept repeating the word "unknown".
However, the person in front of him didn't look like someone who would bring danger or bad luck.
His rationality and the voice in his heart were constantly fighting, and finally the rational side gained the upper hand. He almost gritted his teeth before saying to Jian An Ning, "Master."
Jian An Ning tilted her head to look at him with a little confusion, and without saying a word, she put a hand on Lu Fei's shoulder.
A wisp of spiritual power penetrated into Lu Fei's body and traveled through his meridians.
Jane Anning didn't find anything unusual.
Lu Fei is just an ordinary person.
Jian An Ning was a little confused, but Lu Fei had already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, so she was officially considered to be her disciple.
She felt that the person was right under her nose, so what could go wrong?
So he said, "Well, since you are my disciple from today on, I should naturally teach you some skills."
"However, there is a prerequisite for learning my magical powers."
"You need at least some spiritual energy, so you need to draw energy into your body first."
Drawing Qi into the body can be said to be the first step in the path of cultivation. Before the appearance of "Qing Jue", countless people were blocked at this step.
After the appearance of "Qing Jue", even people with poor talent can spend several years to draw Qi into their bodies.
Therefore, this is really an easy thing for today's human beings, especially for people like Lu Fei who have a master to guide them.
Jian An Ning cast a spell and tapped three different acupoints on Lu Fei's body.
The next moment, Lu Fei felt the spiritual energy that was about to burst his meridians, pouring into his meridians from those acupoints and wandering wildly in his body.
He felt his body becoming hot and cold, and his meridians were swollen and painful, almost bursting.
However, Lu Fei was not used to expressing his pain. Even though Jian An Ning was looking at him right in front of him with concern in her eyes, he did not say anything and just endured it.
It was not until his face turned completely pale that Jane An Ning realized something was wrong.
She quickly led away the violent spiritual energy and closed his acupoints again.
After all the tossing and turning, some beads of sweat appeared on Jane Anning's forehead.
"Is it so difficult to draw Qi into the body?" Jian An Ning said in disbelief.
When her two previous disciples became her disciples, they were already in the Qi training stage, so there was no need for her to help them draw the Qi into their bodies.
And she herself is indeed very far away from the Qi training stage.
Jian Anning touched her nose a little guiltily, called out to Fan Qingyue, who had been silent the whole time, cleared her throat, and said, "Qingyue, your master will give you a chance to perform."
"You will be responsible for helping Junior Brother draw the Qi into his body."
Fan Qingyue naturally agreed to Jian Anning's request.
He had actually expected that this matter would have to be handed over to him.
Because his master is indeed very good, but he also has some special qualities. He doesn't know what words to use to describe them, but in short, Jian An Ning is actually not very good at matters related to Qi training cultivators.
It can even be said that there are some worse aspects.
So Fan Qingyue took Lu Fei, who had been tortured for a whole morning, away from Jian Anning's cave, and took him with him to Lu Fei's residence in Yuxuan Peak.
Walking through the path on Yuxuan Peak, you can see a wooden house located under the shade of trees. Because the leaves have fallen in winter, all the bright sunlight can directly illuminate every corner of the wooden house.
It is also located at a node of the Yuxuan Peak spiritual vein.
"If you rest and practice here, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Fan Qingyue introduced to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei nodded as a response to his words.
As the eldest senior brother, Fan Qingyue naturally didn't care about these details and continued to say to him, "Although our master is sometimes a little unreliable, she is a very easy person to talk to. If you have any difficulties in cultivation, you can go directly to her and ask her."
However, Fan Qingyue thought about Jian Anning's previous performance and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Of course, you can also find me and Junior Sister Jiang."
"But Junior Sister Jiang is in seclusion these days, so you may not be able to see her for a while."
Lu Fei nodded again, then sat cross-legged on the cushion in the wooden house, meditating and regulating his breathing.
"By the way, Junior Brother, your surname is Lu, but you are from Dongchang?" Fan Qingyue asked curiously.
However, Lu Fei suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this. If it weren't for the pain in his meridians, Fan Qingyue suspected that he would have pulled out a knife and put it against his neck the next moment.
Why such a big reaction? Fan Qingyue really didn't expect it.
It is difficult for children from ordinary families to overcome hardships and dangers on their own to come to Qingyun Sect, so there are already many disciples from immortal cultivation families in Qingyun Sect.
However, aristocratic families have their own heritage, and those who give up their family heritage and come to Qingyun Sect are, in a sense, abandoned by their families.
Probably realizing that Fan Qingyue really had no ill intentions, Lu Fei resumed his meditation and breathing.
Fan Qingyue learned his lesson this time. He stopped talking to Lu Fei and planned to wait until he finished regulating his breathing before talking to him.
It's just that plans can't keep up with changes.
At first, Fan Qingyue just thought that Lu Fei took too long to regulate his breathing, but after a while he felt something unusual about the spiritual energy.
It was only then that Fan Qingyue suddenly realized that his junior brother had successfully drawn the Qi into his body.
An invisible vortex of spiritual power appeared above Lu Fei's head, turning into a trickle of water flowing into his meridians. After running a big circle, it became spiritual power and gathered in his dantian.
Although it also means that spiritual energy enters the meridians, it is not as rough as what Jian An Ning did before.
Jian Anning naturally sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy and instantly appeared in the wooden house, next to Fan Qingyue. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are worthy of being my eldest disciple. Well done!"
Fan Qingyue: Actually, I didn’t do anything.
But Fan Qingyue hesitated for a long time and Jian An Ning didn't let him finish his words.
Jian Anning counted on her fingers with a hint of joy and said, "In this sect competition, there are three people from Yuxuan Peak who can compete."
"Master, you have to go to battle too." Fan Qingyue reminded silently.
Jane Anning's face fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the sect competition is, after all, an internal matter of the Qingyun Sect, and the competition in the Nascent Soul stage will definitely end in a timely manner. Fan Qingyue didn't know why Jian An Ning was so resistant today.
"I almost forgot about this." Jian An Ning said dejectedly.
"In fact, Junior Sister Jiang may not be able to come out of seclusion before the sect competition, so there will most likely be three people from Yuxuan Peak in this competition." Fan Qingyue expressed his analysis.
"No," Jian Anning replied decisively, "Xiao Tan can come out before the competition."
"Master, how did you know this?" Fan Qingyue asked in confusion.
Jian Anning raised her head with a hint of pride and said, "Of course it's because I, your master, am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage."
So do other Nascent Soul cultivators also have this ability?
Only Fan Qingyue, who was in the foundation-building stage, didn't know.
After Lu Fei finished practicing his skills, he looked up at Jian Anning, the uninvited guest, and Fan Qingyue, who had not left yet, and asked, "Is this my residence?"
Fan Qingyue nodded, but before he could introduce further, Lu Fei made a gesture to see him off.
"I need some quiet time."
So, even Jian An Ning and Fan Qingyue were packed up and kicked out by Lu Fei.
Fan Qingyue was a little confused, but Jian Anning said to him, "In that case, you don't have to worry about your junior brother anymore. Just focus on preparing for the sect competition."
Fan Qingyue naturally obeyed Jian Anning's words, so he left.
But Jian An Ning did not leave herself. She hid her figure so that Lu Fei could not detect her breath, and then sneaked back into the wooden house.
Then, she discovered that the quietness Lu Fei described was really quiet.
He fell straight to the ground. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, she would have thought he was dead.
Jian An Ning frowned, thought for a moment, then decisively stretched out her fingertips and touched his eyebrows.
She had to take a good look at what was wrong with her little apprentice.
