…
"Are you sure? What's there to be unsure about?" Li Qingran blinked, "Both Elder Zhang and Elder Su said so."
Chen Huaian decided to give Li Qingran some basic knowledge about that world.
He briefly talked about the key points.
For example, the cultivation system of that world is different from that of the Cang Yun Realm, and the cultivation level of the Cang Yun Realm cannot be fully used there.
For example, fighting spirits and boundary rings...
But he didn't tell Li Qingran that her fighting spirit had been arranged.
I thought Li Qingran would be more cautious after hearing the truth about Canglan Realm, but unexpectedly, Li Qingran became more and more expectant.
"Master! This is the world your disciple wants to go to!"
Li Qingran clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "After reaching the pinnacle in the Small Thousand Worlds and returning to the Cangyun Realm, my cultivation level will definitely improve a lot. Maybe then I can help Master in battle."
Chen Huaian touched Li Qingran's head lovingly.
How could he not know why Li Qingran always wanted to improve his strength?
"Go to the Small Thousand Worlds, a world with a completely different chain-cultivation system. You will encounter many dangers."
Li Qingran held Chen Huaian's hand, her pretty face full of determination: "Disciple, I'm not afraid."
"Okay." Chen Huaian took a deep breath and looked solemn.
He has never been the kind of person who would keep Li Qingran behind him and protect her tightly, not allowing her to go anywhere.
He respects any choice Li Qingran makes and is capable of supporting Li Qingran's choice.
Since Li Qingran wants to go out and explore the world, then go ahead.
No one knows what will happen in the future, but he hopes that when facing an irreversible catastrophe, Li Qingran will at least have the ability to protect himself.
"Master, do you want me to go?" Li Qingran looked at Chen Huaian's eyes cautiously. She was ready to be criticized and tried to be retained by the master, and she also prepared corresponding arguments, but it seemed... it was useless?
"I agree." Chen Huaian nodded, "But before you go, I will prepare some self-defense items for you."
…
There is a difference in the flow of time between Earth and the Cangyun Realm, so even though his injuries have recovered, Chen Huaian is not in a hurry to return to Earth.
There is no point in going back anyway. The sect summon can be used on Earth, and the CD is calculated based on Earth time.
During this period, Chen Huaian summoned Danyun and Xiang Tiange for a secret meeting.
Mainly to prepare some resources for Li Qingran who is about to go to Canglan Realm.
The news that Li Qingran was about to go to the Small Thousand World gradually spread in the Yueying Sect and even the entire Cangyun Realm.
"Have you heard? Fairy Qingran from the Yueying Sect is going to travel to the Small Thousand Worlds!"
"Oh my god! Where did you hear this? Is it true? What is Fairy Qingran doing in the Small Thousand Worlds? It's so dangerous!"
"It is said that 놆 is improving 깊's strength..."
"Fairy Qingran is already so powerful, yet she still has to go to the dangerous Small Thousand Worlds to train... Compared to Fairy Qingran, we are truly a bit of a laughing stock."
At that time, all the disciples were competing to see who practiced the chain more diligently, but now they felt ashamed when compared with Li Qingran.
"Does anyone know which small world Fairy Qingran went to train in? If Fairy Qingran can go, so can we!"
"Haha, I see you're up to no good, right? Thinking of meeting Fairy Qingran in a small world? You're so beautiful!"
"Look at what you're saying! Am I that kind of person?"
A group of disciples were discussing the matter, and even some elders of the sect were thinking of going to the Small Thousand Worlds to gain experience.
It is true that some people have ulterior motives, but there are also some cultivators who really want to go there to become stronger.
These cultivators have basically been trapped in their previous realm for many years. Even if they moved to the veins near Yueying Sect and enjoyed the richer spiritual energy, they were unable to loosen the bottleneck. In this case, the high concentration of spiritual energy can no longer save them, and they can only find another unique way and take an unconventional approach.
For a while, there was an endless stream of disciples who came to the sect elders to apply for entry into the Small Thousand World.
However, the elders and masters of the various sects did not know how to enter the Small Thousand Worlds, so they all visited the Moon Shadow Sect with gifts.
At 4 o'clock, at the door of Li Qingran's cave.
The gifts and farewell notes sent by the young talents from various sects almost piled up into a pile.
"When I first met you, my sword trembled slightly. After three hundred years of cultivation, I find it hard to control myself."
"Hearing the sound of your jade flute, I wish to transform into a blue phoenix and be with you forever. I do not seek to be the only immortal, but only to watch the sea of clouds and stars with you side by side."
"Last night, the stars shone like your sword, and the true fire in my dantian burned because of you. If you agree, I will swear by my golden elixir that we can cultivate together forever."
Li Qingran sat at the table, supporting his chin with one hand.
Yue Qianchi next to him looked excited. He opened the letters one by one, shook his head, and read them to Li Qingran in an exaggerated tone.
"Qingran, I think these sect disciples are quite talented. Although their cultivation isn't that great, they're quite good at composing these little poems."
The letters and gifts were of various kinds, and most of them came from other sects within the Yueying Sect.
Originally, the disciples of Jiange had no idea about Li Qingran.
It's not because Li Qingran is not pretty enough or outstanding enough, but before the establishment of Yueying Sect, there were already disciples of Jiange who tried it.
These disciples were all beaten up by Li Qingran without exception. They were beaten to a pulp on the fighting stage and lost face.
Naturally, over time, these Jiange disciples lost their minds.
In addition, when Li Qingran became the sect leader, they only had awe towards him.
The other disciples of the Moon Shadow Sect have never been beaten.
In their eyes, Li Qingran was gifted, beautiful, and of high status. She was simply the Baifumei of the Cangyun Realm.
Regardless of whether the beautiful, rich girl is attracted to them, why not give it a try?
What if?
…
"Senior Sister Yue, please come on~" Li Qingran rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "The Cang Yun Realm respects strength. What's the point of just talking? Besides, I've always been focused on Master. I feel like these cultivators are like dog-skin plasters. They're really annoying.
Even if we take a step back, when it comes to poetry and song, these disciples are not even qualified to carry Master's shoes."
"Oh?" Yue Qianchi narrowed his eyes.
All cultivators in the Cangyun Realm knew that Chen Jianzun was not only an unrivaled swordsman, but also a great poet.
Of course, she was good at writing poetry, but she pretended not to know and said mischievously, "Old Ancestor is drunk and repairing chains all day long. How could he have the time and energy to write down a few poems and songs to cheer you up? I don't believe it~"
"You don't believe it?!" Li Qingran snorted.
Looking out the window at the night, the image of Chen Huaian naturally emerged in my mind.
"Master said, 'Reeds grow thick and white dew turns to frost,' which is what is meant by 'the beauty is in the water.'"
The moonlight was like water, quietly flowing over the window lattice, casting a soft glow on Li Qingran's beautiful profile.
Her eyes shone slightly, as if she was immersed in some warm memories, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised a shallow arc.
"Master once said that poetry isn't just a pastime for those in the throes of cultivation, but a spiritual practice that questions one's true nature and reflects the universe." Her voice was soft, yet filled with unquestionable conviction. "Take the line 'Reeds are lush and green'. At first, it seemed like a description of scenery, but Master explained that it evokes the difficulty of seeking the Dao and the longing of finding one's beloved. Just like cultivators like us, we're pursuing the vast Dao, swimming upstream, the road is long and difficult."
Yue Qianchi's originally playful expression subsided a little, she propped up her chin and listened attentively.
In the cave, the night wind blows through the woods, and the rustling sound seems to be an accompaniment.
Li Qingran's fingertips unconsciously slid across the tabletop as he continued, "And there's more... 'Rising early to clean up the wasteland, returning home under the moonlight, carrying a hoe.' Master said this line is a subtle yet elegant expression. It captures the joy of farming, yet it metaphorically illustrates the essence of spiritual practice—day after day of diligent effort. This is the foundation of the great Dao, and it can't be achieved through a single sudden enlightenment."
She paused, the light in her eyes growing brighter, like a starry sky gathering from a window. "What moved me most was the line 'People are endless, yet the moon on the river looks the same year after year.' My master once murmured this line while standing atop a sea of clouds, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
He said that even if a monk's life span is very long, compared with the eternity of heaven and earth, it is only a fleeting moment.
Only by being firm and steadfast in the Tao can one maintain a sense of true self amidst this endless flux, seeing the world, seeing all beings, and also seeing oneself."
Yue Qianchi had already put away all her teasing. She sighed softly, her tone tinged with genuine admiration, "The ancestor's realm is truly beyond our reach. Ordinary poetry, in his mouth, can reveal such profound Dao rhymes." She paused, then couldn't help but glance at the pile of stationery, shaking her head and laughing. "Compared to this, these 'Golden Elixir Vow' and 'Blue Luan Always by My Side' truly seem... pale and powerless."
Li Qingran smiled slightly, said nothing more, and turned his gaze to the bright moon outside the window, his eyes gentle and firm.
The cave was silent for a moment, with only the clear light flowing and the faint fragrance floating in the air.
Yue Qianchi tactfully stopped disturbing him and quietly got up and left.
After a long pause, Li Qingran whispered to himself, his voice as soft as a dream: "Master, look at this moonlight. Has it ever shone through eternity, illuminating the heavens? I wonder what the moon in the Canglan Realm looks like... I will definitely remember your teachings, and I will never dare to bring disgrace upon your reputation in that realm."
She gathered spiritual light at her fingertips and gently pressed it into the air.
A line of crooked handwriting, like a dog paddling, quietly emerged and then slowly faded away.
“The moon is an old moon, and new people are walking on earth.”
The night wind brought the sound of pine waves from the distant mountains, like a gentle sigh.
