Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 140 The Disciple's Daily Cultivation

"Does Master think Qingjun is an idiot? If Qingjun goes there, Master will definitely hit Qingjun on the head again!"

Qingjun's slightly narrow eyes, with the corners slightly upturned, carried a hint of fox-like cunning and blatant disdain.

She was petite, with silver hair that reached her hips.

With one hand on her hip and the other delicate white hand holding up her slender index finger, she shook it dismissively at Chen Ye.

have to.

It seems all that effort was wasted. This little girl is born with a rebellious streak and won't be easily subdued.

Chen Ye's forehead veins throbbed, and he feigned a cold smile: "So, Qing Jun didn't break through at all? Otherwise, why would she be so guilty as to not show it to her master?"

"Huh? Is Master trying to provoke me? Don't try to fool Qingjun with tricks like that that would only fool a three-year-old!"

The clever little girl saw through her master's trick at a glance.

"Alright, Master even prepared a special gift for Qingjun's breakthrough."

With a hint of regret in his voice, Chen Ye took out an exquisite food box from his storage bag.

He deliberately slowed down his movements and opened it slowly in front of Qingjun.

Inside the food box were strands of snow-white dragon beard cake.

Qingjun had never eaten dragon beard cake before, and her dark phoenix eyes were instantly drawn to this novel pastry.

"Since our Qingjun hasn't broken through, then Master will have to enjoy this breakthrough gift himself. Sigh, I was originally thinking that if Qingjun did break through, this rare dragon beard cake would be hers. I heard it melts in your mouth and is incredibly sweet..."

Chen Ye shook his head with feigned regret, picked up a piece of dragon beard cake, and pretended to put it in his mouth.

"Goo-"

A loud swallowing sound came from Qingjun's direction.

The little girl's eyes were fixed on the dragon beard cake in Chen Ye's hand, her delicate nose twitching slightly, clearly captivated by its novel and sweet aroma.

She subconsciously licked her pink lips, her previous smug look completely gone, replaced by a childlike craving.

"Master..." Qingjun's voice softened involuntarily as she rubbed her toes, her tone tinged with a hint of coquetry, "Qingjun... Qingjun has really broken through..."

As she spoke, she took small steps toward Chen Ye's side, her little hands nervously clutching the hem of his clothes, her bright phoenix eyes gazing longingly at the food box, as if afraid that her master would really eat all the dragon beard cakes that looked so delicious.

Chen Ye suppressed a laugh and raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise: "Oh? You really broke through? Then why wouldn't you let Master see it just now? Could it be... that you wanted to deliberately hide it from Master so that Master would worry?"

"No...no, that's not true!" Qingjun blushed and hurriedly explained, "Qingjun just...just wanted to give Master a surprise! Yes, a surprise!"

She puffed out her small chest, trying to make herself look more confident.

"Since it's a surprise, it's not too late to let Master see it now, is it?" Chen Ye went along with it.

The little girl narrowed her eyes and sighed, "Then let Master take a look. Sigh, Master is really something."

She obediently stretched out her slender white hand, letting her master's broad palm hold it.

Chen Ye placed his fingertips on her fair wrist, his spiritual energy probing in, carefully sensing the changes in Qingjun's meridians.

As expected, Qingjun did indeed break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Chen Ye pondered in his heart:

"Such a rapid breakthrough? Fifteen days ago, she was still at the second level of Qi Refining. Besides, wasn't Qingjun's talent yet to be revealed?"

Moreover, what surprised Chen Ye the most was that the spiritual energy capacity in Qingjun's dantian far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators!
It's almost comparable to Chen Ye's spiritual power at the fifth level of Qi Refining!

Such talent is terrifying!
However, after thinking about Qingjun's role in the original story, Chen Ye felt that it was reasonable.

After all, this is the future world-destroying demoness.

Fortunately, Chen Ye has a cheat code; otherwise, in just a few years, this little girl's strength would probably far surpass his own.

At this moment, Chen Ye's dissatisfaction with Bai Susu quietly diminished considerably.

Although she acted eccentrically and put her two disciples in danger, she had indeed been protecting them in secret. Her true intention may have been to use the life-or-death crisis to stimulate the potential of her two disciples.

Although two Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounded and killed her, judging from Bai Susu's relaxed appearance afterward, it was likely that the two Foundation Establishment cultivators posed no threat at all and did not affect her ability to protect her two disciples.

"Thinking about it this way, it's actually me who owes Bai Susu a favor?"

Chen Ye muttered to himself, then pushed the food box back to Qing Jun, his tone gentle.
"Good, keep up the good work, Master is very satisfied."

Qingjun blinked her bright, watery eyes and carefully took the food box.

In the middle, he kept a wary eye on Chen Ye:

"Hmm? Is it really just to give Qingjun something delicious? Didn't Master want to knock Qingjun on the head?"

Chen Ye was amused by her cute expression: "Otherwise what? When did Master ever say he was going to knock you on the head?"

"Oh……"

The little girl originally thought that her master wanted to lure her over with delicious food so that he could find an excuse to teach her a lesson.

She decided to play dumb and let her master get away with it.

After all, her master was such a fool that he couldn't fool her no matter what. Instead, he looked so pitiful that it softened the little girl's heart.

Little did he know that he had misunderstood his master.

The little girl licked her lips and happily ate the dragon beard cake.

"Well!"

The pure white pastries melted in her mouth, and the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up. She exclaimed indistinctly, "..."

"good to eat!"

My master's cooking skills are absolutely amazing!

It's over! She'll never be able to leave her master for the rest of her life!!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ye reached out and stroked Qingjun's soft white fur. The little girl was eating with great enthusiasm and didn't care about her master's hand.

Once Qingjun had finished eating with gusto, she nimbly tilted her head and dodged away.

"Hmph! Master, don't touch Qingjun's head! Unless... unless Master brings some more delicious food in exchange!"

Qingjun, holding the food box, became increasingly demanding.

"Okay, okay, I won't touch you anymore." Chen Ye raised his hands in surrender. "So, what are our great cultivator Qingjun's plans next? Are you going to soar to the heavens and leave Master far behind?" Upon hearing this, Qingjun quickly glanced at Chen Ye.

She cleared her throat with an air of seriousness: "Don't worry, Master! When Qingjun becomes more capable than you, I will definitely be very filial to you! I will also make you delicious sweet and sour fish!"

In the end, the little girl couldn't help but grin, revealing two rows of neat, white, glutinous rice-like teeth.

It's cute, yet carries a hint of wickedness.

"..."

Chen Ye was speechless for a moment. Being filial is fine, but what does it mean to be extremely filial?
Well, I suppose it's because Qingjun is still young, and it's common for her to use inappropriate words.

He secretly thought to himself that he would definitely send these two little girls to the Lingyin Sect's academy for a proper education another day.

He was already overwhelmed with daily tasks of guiding his disciples in their cultivation and handling sect affairs, so he simply couldn't spare any more time to teach them to read and write.

Moreover, he himself has never received systematic education in the cultivation world, so if he were to teach, he would probably be misleading others.

"Qingjun, do you want to go to school?" Chen Ye asked with a malicious smile.

The bewildered little girl wiped her dirty mouth, her eyes filled with confusion: "Going to school? What's school? Can you eat it?"

"You'll find out later."

"Ok??"

One of the 'elementary school students' was a little confused.

Chen Ye did not continue to explain, but turned his gaze to another room.

Fifteen days ago, he already knew that Zhiwei's Immaculate Glass Body had awakened again after experiencing that life-or-death crisis, and was now a pure single water spiritual root!

A single spiritual root, also known as a celestial spiritual root, is considered the ceiling of a cultivator's aptitude, aside from various spiritual bodies.

Such talent is extremely rare, even in the entire cultivation world.

For example, Bai Susu, the little devil of the Bai family, has a single metal spiritual root. She successfully established her foundation at the young age of nineteen and became famous throughout the Yan Kingdom.

As for Zhiwei, since awakening to a single spiritual root, his cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds.

It only took him fifteen days to break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level!

It should be noted that Chen Ye's initial cultivation level upon arriving in this world was only the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Ye arrived at Zhiwei's door and gently knocked.

"Master," came Zhiwei's calm voice from inside the room.

Chen Ye pushed open the door and entered, only to see Zhiwei sitting cross-legged on a futon, her body surrounded by azure spiritual energy that was much more refined and pure than before, indicating that she had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Seeing Chen Ye enter, she slowly finished her practice and stood up. Her long, dark hair was loosely tied back with a jade hairpin, making her delicate face appear even more serene.

"Zhiwei, have you encountered any obstacles in your cultivation these past few days?" Chen Ye asked gently, his gaze carefully examining her.

The little girl has grown quite a bit taller these days, and is already more than half a head taller than Qingjun.

However, despite having sufficient nutrition recently, all of that nutrition has been used to grow taller, and the body remains thin.

Coupled with her already delicate and aloof face, she even had a hint of girlish charm, which made Chen Ye feel a sense of pride and... well, a little bit of inexplicable protectiveness.

Zhiwei shook her head slightly, her dark eyes looking at Chen Ye: "Reporting to Master, the Frost Flower Record is operating relatively smoothly, but... Zhiwei can still only sense water spiritual energy."

The older girl was somewhat disappointed.

Her world was very small, so small that she only had one master and one junior sister.

In this world, a master who possesses all five elements is a truly towering figure.

Therefore,
Zhiwei believes that having all five elements like one's master is the most outstanding talent in the world.

"This is a good thing."

Chen Ye chuckled. If it were any other rogue cultivator, they would probably think that Zhiwei was in Versailles.

He even felt a hint of envy: "Being able to sense only water elemental energy means you won't be disturbed by other mixed spiritual energies, making your cultivation of the Frost Blossom Record twice as effective, far exceeding the efficiency of ordinary people. In the cultivation world, countless cultivators dream of having your aptitude..."

"But Zhiwei doesn't care what others think."

The black-haired girl looked calmly at her master, her tone resolute.
"In Zhiwei's eyes, Master's five spiritual roots are the strongest spiritual roots in the world. If Master were to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world with his five spiritual roots, not only Zhiwei, but everyone in the world would think so."

Moreover,

No matter how powerful her spiritual root was, it couldn't give her the same peace of mind as her master's five spiritual roots.

It can heal spiritual plants and earn spirit stones, ensuring they have enough to eat and wear.

They can also use the Geng Metal Technique and Flying Sword Technique to protect them in times of danger...

Zhiwei's tone was calm, but the meaning behind that calm tone moved Chen Ye deeply.

So, my image in Zhiwei's mind is actually so high and mighty?
The eldest girl even felt that she could reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world?

hiss……

Zhiwei, who seems aloof, is becoming increasingly blunt in her speech?

Not long ago, she even said that her master was her destiny.

Chen Ye couldn't help but glance at his eldest disciple, only to see that his eldest disciple had a cold expression and showed no sign of shyness.

He smiled wryly:
"I didn't expect Zhiwei to think so highly of her master... However, once Zhiwei's physique is fully awakened, she will be considered to have all five elements."

At this point, Chen Ye felt even more that Zhiwei was extraordinary.

In her perfect state, Zhiwei also possesses five spiritual roots, but each of her spiritual roots is comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root!

"Really……"

The older girl's cool eyes finally brightened, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Can she also become a powerful cultivator like her master?
