Measurement array
Qin Wuna's internal injuries, which were not originally too serious, were finally completely healed thanks to Baichuan and Yunqian's tireless and persistent administration of bitter medicine day after day.
After this incident, Qin Wu secretly vowed in his heart that he would be extremely careful in the future and never get hurt so easily again! The bitterness of the medicine brewed by his second senior brother was even worse than all the hardships he had endured in the past ten years!
To be fair, Baichuan's medical skills and responsible attitude were impeccable. It was just that Qin Wu couldn't understand why his second senior brother and eldest senior sister were so...enthusiastic about forcing him to take medicine.
Is this the fine tradition of medical cultivation being passed down from generation to generation?
This question lingered in Qin Wu's mind for a long time. It wasn't until much later that he accidentally learned the truth: it turned out that Senior Sister Yun Qian was also a senior victim of Senior Brother Baichuan's medicine.
With a new disciple on Cangmin Mountain, life seemed to continue along its original trajectory. Bai Ji remained noisy and cheerful, Yun Qian often lay on the stone platform basking in the sun, seemingly bored, while Bai Yan remained elusive, frequently going into seclusion or descending the mountain.
The new, aloof-looking boy was unusually quiet and spoke very little.
Although Qin Wu rarely speaks, he always manages to throw out two freeze talismans with perfect precision and without expression, just when Bai Chuan and Bai Ji are arguing so fiercely that they're about to tear the house down.
As a result, Bai Ji and Bai Chuan temporarily united against him and chased him all over the mountain.
Of course, Qin Wu would occasionally break out in a rash for no reason, or accidentally step into a seemingly harmless but actually tricky little formation and be trapped for a while. After he was freed, he would often go straight to Yun Qian to complain with an even colder handsome face.
Later, Baichuan and Baiji finally understood why sword cultivators were often revered as the leaders of all cultivators, because Qin Wu's growth rate was astonishingly fast.
That day, Qin Wu casually cleaved a gaping hole in Bai Ji's exquisite array, which he had painstakingly set up over several months. From that moment on, the two senior brothers completely lost the opportunity to teach their junior brother a lesson.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Since arriving at the mountain, Qin Wu has only seen his master, Bai Yan, a handful of times.
The Cangmin sword technique he learned was mostly taught by his senior sister Yun Qian, who seemed somewhat lazy and casual but was actually exceptionally serious and reliable in teaching.
Yun Qian was already used to her master's style of accepting disciples based on fate and teaching them by letting them grow freely. To her, teaching one disciple was teaching, and teaching three disciples was also teaching; there was not much difference.
Every morning without fail, she would take Baichuan and Qin Wu to the snow-covered mountaintop to practice swordsmanship, honing their sword intent and movement techniques. In the afternoon, they would go to the library to study the profound ancient books and array diagrams together with Baiji, who was obsessed with array formations. In her spare time, she would even pull Qin Wu and Baichuan aside to discuss medical principles and pharmacology, and identify herbs.
Life was fulfilling and peaceful, with a sense of tranquility that brought peace of mind.
Yun Qian almost thought that this peaceful and beautiful time would last forever. Little did she know that these seemingly ordinary ten years spent on Cangmin Mountain would become a warm memory that she would cherish and reminisce about for many years to come.
Time flows quietly like water.
Qin Wu's dependence on Yun Qian became increasingly apparent as time went on, so much so that even someone as oblivious as Bai Ji could clearly sense it.
At this moment, Bai Ji was intently working on his new creation. An exquisite wooden pagoda floated in mid-air, its body slowly rotating and emitting a soft light. Beneath the pagoda, a seemingly small but intricate array had already been set up.
Bai Ji spent more than half a year researching this formation. While seemingly insignificant, it conceals profound mysteries. Even the slightest touch of a cultivator's robe to the edge of the formation will instantly draw them in, trapping them in the simulated "Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation." Those with insufficient cultivation or weak wills are highly likely to be trapped by its endlessly shifting illusions and challenges, unable to escape for life.
The method to break this formation is both simple and complex. Either one must possess immense strength, capable of forcibly tearing apart the formation's space with sheer power, or one must follow the formation's rules, enduring the trials and dangers of the "Nine Cycles" to finally reach the formation's core and break it.
Since obtaining this exquisite pagoda from the treasure pavilion, Bai Ji's mastery of formations has advanced by leaps and bounds. This small, exquisite formation before him has successfully trapped Yun Qian, a Nascent Soul cultivator, for a full incense stick's time!
Buzz—!
A powerful sword intent suddenly erupted from the exquisite array, forcefully opening a gap in the array space! But the next second, the sword intent was forcibly withdrawn by its owner.
Yun Qian, carrying her seemingly ordinary wooden sword, stepped out from under the Linglong Tower with a hint of irritation, her dress without a single wrinkle.
"This formation is really troublesome." Yun Qian rubbed her temples, clearly annoyed by the endless illusions and traps within the formation. She never had the patience to break through step by step, so she simply chose the most direct method: cleaving it open with a single sword strike.
"Senior Sister—!" Bai Ji squatted beside the formation, her face contorted with grief, her voice filled with resentment, "You promised not to use brute force to break the formation!"
He modified this exquisite array countless times, just to test whether it could trap other magic cultivators and for how long. On the entire Cangmin Mountain, besides himself, the only magic cultivator was his master, Bai Yan, but even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare trouble his master to test this trapping array.
Therefore, this important task naturally fell to the easy-going senior sister, Yun Qian.
After all, when he first entered the mountain, his senior sister taught him the basic knowledge of Dharma cultivation step by step.
But who could have imagined that Senior Sister would be so impatient? She was only trapped for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before she used force to cleave his masterpiece in two with a single sword strike!
