Chapter 11: Leader of the Formation

Lin Du feels that outside the forbidden area of ​​the Supreme Sect, what is being played out is roughly "The Years I Digged for Survival in the Northeast", while inside the forbidden area, it can be roughly written as "Me and My Devilish Master".

The only ones who are strong enough in this Supreme Sect are the few new disciples who have just entered the sect.

Under Yan Ye's instruction, she quickly understood the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in the human body as well as the acupuncture points on the meridians throughout the body.

She couldn't help but remember it. This guy's teaching method was extremely cruel. How could she not remember that when he threw her into Luoze to be washed by ice water, he sealed that meridian until she broke through it herself and could float up.

It would be difficult for her not to remember it even if she wanted to. Fortunately, she was a candidate from Jiangsu in modern times. Apart from other things, she could memorize it smoothly.

The ice spring washing day after day not only exercises her heart and lungs and opens up her stagnant lungs, but the power in the ice spring can also suppress her Dantian spiritual energy that is rising too quickly and is somewhat empty, making her foundation more solid and tempering her fragile body at the same time.

Yan Ye just thought that one day Lin Du would be able to swim upstream to the top of the waterfall, and he would no longer have to suffer this torture every day.

This day, Lin Du once again broke the ice with one punch and was met with the interested smile of his evil master.

"You are indeed a genius like me."

Lin Du rolled his eyes without any scruples.

There are seven stages in the realm of cultivation. The first stage is the Fengchu realm where Lin Du is located, followed by Qinxin, Tengyun, Huiyang, Qianyuan, Wuxiang, and Taiqing. Each stage can be divided into four small realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and great perfection.

Lin Du's cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. While the new disciples were still in the middle stage of the Phoenix Realm, she had already reached the Great Perfection of the Phoenix Realm and was about to build a foundation and enter the Qin Heart Realm.

"It is said that Master is the best swordsman and can freeze the entire Zhongzhou with just one strike of the sword. If I am like Master, can I also freeze the entire Zhongzhou in the future?"

Yan Ye was stunned when he heard this, "Who told you that I can freeze the entire Zhongzhou with one sword?"

Lin Du couldn't say that it was written in the script, so she made up a story, "That's what people say outside."

Yan Ye uttered an "oh" and then watched her skillfully use her spiritual power to dry herself. He slowly said, "It seems that you really don't know anything about your master."

Lin Du raised his head and met his cold grey eyes.

"The Supreme Sect may have had a pure swordsman, but your master is not one of them."

"This Luoze is a natural ice formation, but I made some changes to make it a formation that is truly suitable for our ice spirit root cultivation."

Yan Ye raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Almost instantly, countless spots of light flashed on his slender knuckles. It seemed that there was no pattern, like flowers scattered by a fairy from heaven. However, in the instant they dissipated, the entire Luoze Spring thawed, and all things melted, revealing the original landform.

Countless verdant pine trees, exotic flowers and plants lost their crystal frost on the surface, and countless strange and unique spiritual auras instantly surged into the air.

Lin Du couldn't help but sneeze.

"Your master, I was already an expert in formation techniques at the age of fifty. When I was only a hundred years old, I won the first place in the formation competition, defeating three formation masters who had been famous for a thousand years. In order to protect myself, I started to learn swordsmanship and took the first place in the Zhongzhou sect competition."

His tone was extremely calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not a big deal. "If I didn't have an ice spirit root that made it difficult for me to control fire, I would probably still be able to make some achievements in refining weapons and pills."

"So... why do you think I'm a brainless swordsman?"

Lin Du:……?

She pondered for a moment, "But Master, you only gave me a few books, "The Complete Collection of Basic Spells in the Cultivation World", "Detailed Explanation of Meridian Acupoint Atlas", "Miscellaneous Talks in the Cultivation World" and "Chronicle of Major Events in the Cultivation World". It's normal that I don't understand them, right?"

"You are only at the Fengchu stage." Yan Ye reminded her, "It is important to consolidate your physical foundation at the Fengchu stage. I was stronger than you are now when I was eight years old."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am a sickly person," Lin Du said, "If this disease can't be cured, I'll just wait to die."

"What the hell do you think Luoze's water is?" Yan Ye slapped her in the face. "Emperor Sejong's direct disciples only get one bottle a year, and they only dare to put one or two drops of spiritual liquid in it when they use it to make pills. I'm using it as bath water for you! Can you stand up for yourself?"

Lin Du was born without any respect for his teachers, and Yan Ye had never accepted any other disciples, so the two of them treated each other with no respect for elders.

"What can I do about my natural deficiencies?" She asked lazily, but she didn't really accept her fate.

"Lin Du..." Yan Ye sighed, "Look at my eyes."

"I'm watching, what's wrong?"

"I am a blind man." Yan Ye said, "I was born blind."

Lin Du was stunned.

Yan Ye laughed, and his laugh was particularly joyful. "When a blind man can become a formation master who needs to draw and measure accurately everywhere, what else is impossible?"

"So, even if your body is broken and you are destined to age prematurely, since I, Yan Ye, am your master, I can make you the second miracle in the world."

Lin Du did not ask what the first miracle was.

The first miracle was Yanye.

She lowered her eyes and smiled, finally understanding why, although those eyes were looking at her, the expression inside remained unchanged and always cold. Only by looking at the muscles on his face could she see his playfulness and ease.

A blind man's apprentice is a good-for-nothing, that's fine.

Although those who practice Taoism cannot see, they can still “see” things by radiating their spiritual consciousness all the time.

"So you are my apprentice. I don't ask you to be better than me, but at least you can fight for your dignity and survive."

Yan Ye said in a leisurely voice, "Come on, it's time. If you go too late, you'll lose your chicken legs. Hurry up."

Lin Du stood up, a wooden hairpin appeared in his hand, and he casually tied up his hair, "Master, do you want to make a bet?"

Yan Ye looked in the direction of the sound, "What?"

"I bet that I will become the leader of the formation one year earlier than you. I don't need to learn swordsmanship, and I can also win the first place in the Zhongzhou competition."

The boy's voice was clear and melodious, with a unique rhythm to his pronunciation, and a lingering tone that was incompatible with the northern accent. Amid the roar of the waterfall, it was still clear and audible.

Yan Ye smiled, "You'd better be able to."

As soon as Lin Du left, Luoze was sealed again.

The white-haired man sat quietly on the ice for a long time. He raised his hand to touch his eyes, and his white eyelashes trembled slightly.

Lin Du, that kid, didn't even ask if he could be cured.

Whether it's him or herself.

Cultivators below the Tengyun Realm can only fly with the help of magical instruments. Although Yanye has been in seclusion for many years, his family background is much richer than those real people outside who need to dig for food in the soil to be self-sufficient.

Lin Du took out a bamboo leaf-shaped flying magic weapon from the storage ring that Yan Ye gave him, then he moved his mind and ran straight to the dining hall.

If you go too late, the chicken legs will be gone.

I don’t know which real person is cooking today.

Just as he was about to reach the dining hall, Lin Du suddenly heard a huge explosion, followed by an echo in the mountains.

"Oh no! Second Senior Sister blew up the stove while making soup!"

Lin Du paused, and tonight's dinner would have to be postponed again.
