"Master...Master! You...you...you...how did you come back! Hehehe!"
Xie Zhou swallowed hard; Ling Feng always appeared in such a unique way.
"Isn't my appearance enough? Hahaha."
Lingfeng smiled and raised an eyebrow at Xie Zhou's somewhat flustered appearance.
"No, no, I'm just excited and happy to know that Master has returned."
Xie Zhou quickly waved his hand, but gave Ling Feng a fawning smile.
"That's good, but why do I smell...food on you?"
Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, then calmly sat down in his seat.
"Perhaps it's because I haven't showered in a long time, and I smell bad. Master, you don't know, the taste of the food I used to eat would come out with my sweat."
Xie Zhou awkwardly made up a lie.
"oh?"
Lingfeng didn't ask any further questions.
Xie Zhou finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
"So that's how it is. Have you finished memorizing the book?"
Lingfeng asked the same old question that had never changed in ages.
"Hehehe, Master, I'm almost there! I've already memorized more than half of it!"
Xie Zhou quickly flipped to the last few pages of the book and began to read and memorize them.
"Please don't make me memorize! Please don't make me memorize!" Xie Zhou shouted in his heart.
"Serves you right for not studying and only wanting to play. Now look what happened!"
The system started again, and every time Xie Zhou was scolded, the system would always add a few more curses.
"Shut up! Even if I were to read it, I couldn't possibly memorize this entire book!"
Xie Zhou was extremely anxious.
"Alright, it's okay if you haven't finished memorizing a few pages. I'll ask you a few more questions..."
Lingfeng, however, looked at Xie Zhou with great interest.
"No, Master, it's so late, you should rest, shouldn't you? As a filial disciple, I certainly can't let Master suffer like this!"
Xie Zhou spoke with righteous indignation.
"Master...no, no, no..."
The copy of "Qingyang Essentials" that Xie Zhou had been protecting was ultimately taken by Ling Feng.
"Tell me about the differences between cultivation sects."
"Hmm? I know the answer to this question! I'm really good at it! I made this up!"
Xie Zhou was very happy to hear this question.
"There are four most basic and powerful sects in the cultivation world: the Sword Sect in the Northwest, the Body Refining Sect in the Northeast, the Heavenly God Pavilion in the Southwest, and the Buddhist Sect in the Southeast!"
Xie Zhou spoke fluently and eloquently without pausing for a moment.
"Our Sword Sect mainly cultivates the sword. The cultivation methods for different attribute spiritual roots are also different, but they are all from the same root. We emphasize the unity of man and sword, using the body as a weapon, and focusing on offense."
Xie Zhou explained the Sword Sect's cultivation method without hesitation.
"Furthermore, there is the Body Refining Sect in the Northeast. The Body Refining Sect emphasizes the hardness of the physical body, so they start training their bodies from the beginning of their cultivation. It is said that when they reach the highest level of cultivation, their physical body can withstand any attack and is extremely powerful, mainly due to its strong defense."
Xie Zhou continued speaking, unaware that Ling Feng's expression had changed slightly.
"Oh? You know so much about it. What about the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly God Pavilion?"
Lingfeng continued to ask questions.
"The Buddhist sect takes the Buddha as its highest faith, does not kill or eat meat, and is the most particular sect that emphasizes being free from desires and having a pure mind. Moreover, it only accepts male disciples and not female disciples."
Xie Zhou didn't feel any pressure at all.
"The Heavenly God Pavilion is a newly emerging immortal cultivation sect a hundred years ago. It is said that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly God Pavilion once fought against hundreds of immortal sects and was invincible. In fact, it was only after you intervened that he admitted defeat."
Xie Zhou grinned. This time she finally answered correctly. He couldn't possibly make her recite it all over again!
"What you said is very good, but have you actually read this book?"
Ling Feng's expression was very serious, which startled Xie Zhou, who had been grinning, so much that he immediately suppressed his smile.
"I...I..."
"Your answer is very comprehensive, but! This book, 'Qingyang Essentials,' doesn't contain anything I just asked you!"
Lingfeng rubbed his forehead.
"Looks like you really don't want to go back to rest. Now, memorize it properly!"
Xie Zhou was yelled at by Ling Feng, so he had no choice but to obediently sit in the seat designated by Ling Feng and read the contents of the book one by one under Luo Fantian's supervision.
"By the way, Master, when can I start practicing the cultivation technique?"
Xie Zhou read for a while, and suddenly a question popped into her mind, so she asked it.
"Cultivate martial arts techniques? You want to cultivate martial arts techniques before you've even mastered self-cultivation. How can you learn to run before you've even learned to walk?"
Lingfeng gave Xie Zhou a disgruntled look.
"oh."
Xie Zhou was somewhat sullen.
"Well, it seems I should finish reading this book first."
Xie Zhou murmured something, then focused all his attention on the book.
The "Qingyang Essentials" mainly discusses the various things that cultivators should not do before they begin their cultivation journey, as well as the correct way to cultivate immortality.
"I see, this book is quite useful."
After calming down, Xie Zhou found the book surprisingly enjoyable, and he easily memorized the content after reading it once.
The next afternoon, Xie Zhou brought the books to Ling Feng's side.
"Master, I've finished memorizing it."
Xie Zhou was confident at this moment.
"Alright, then I will check it for you."
The Lingfeng is very strict; it's not waterproof at all.
Xie Zhou remained calm and focused, his mind filled with the contents of the book.
After about an hour, Xie Zhou, his mouth parched, finally finished recounting the entire contents of the book.
Lingfeng nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good. Although there were some minor hiccups at the beginning, you have done very well. In that case, I can rest assured that you can recite the text."
Lingfeng smiled with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, a table full of trees made Xie Zhou almost vomit the water he had just drunk.
"There are about a hundred more books here. Once you've memorized them all, you can begin your cultivation."
Xie Zhou stared at the books on the table in shock.
"Oh, Master, you..."
"Master is doing this for your own good. Be good, hurry up and carry it back."
Lingfeng waved his hand, and a small cart appeared. He glanced at the books on the table, then at the cart, and Xie Zhou gave another wry smile.
"Yes, Master."
Xie Zhou was on the verge of tears, carrying the more than one hundred books over and over again.
"Master, I've finished memorizing this one, are there still hundreds more books waiting for me?"
Xie Zhou felt a lingering fear.
"Don't worry, my good disciple, that's all. There won't be any more."
Ling Feng's smile gave Xie Zhou goosebumps again.
