Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Operation Exorcism is a large-scale, long-term collective mission launched by Changchun Palace in recent years to address the chaos in the surrounding areas by organizing outstanding disciples.

Previously, Feng Linzi was often away from home, and this was when he was carrying out this mission.

Feng Linzi originally came back to rest, but since Su Baichen was also going, he simply gave up resting and hurriedly came out with him.

Su Baichen was very grateful for this, knowing that Feng Linzi had done so out of concern for his safety.

"Is everything ready?"

Before setting off, when Su Baichen bid farewell to his master, Xuan Yin Zhenren couldn't help but ask another question.

Su Baichen nodded and said, "Master, I have received all the items. My senior brother even specially prepared three Cloud Piercing Arrows for me."

Feng Linzi nodded: "Master, I will be stationed in Xianyou County, while my junior brother will be stationed in Hekou Town, our hometown. This way, he can take care of our hometown, and I can also take care of my junior brother in a timely manner."

Master Xuanyin nodded and said, "I can trust you to arrange these things, but you, Bai Chen, have just completed the Foundation Establishment stage, so you can't waste too much energy on such matters..."

Su Baichen said, "Master, please rest assured. I only take care of my hometown in my spare time. I dare not forget my serious cultivation in the slightest."

Feng Linzi chuckled and chimed in, "Master, don't worry too much. These are just some rogue cultivators or ordinary people who have obtained those unorthodox methods. They don't understand the rules of the cultivation world, nor do they know the power of my Changchun Palace... Once we re-establish our authority, they will understand."

Master Xuan Yin solemnly warned, "Do not be careless. The person behind this chaos must have a scheme. Be careful."

Feng Linzi nodded: "Of course, this disciple is being very careful in everything."

Xuan Yin Zhenren then looked at Su Baichen: "Baichen, your cultivation is still shallow. You must be cautious in everything you do. If you are to fight someone, you must make good use of your 'Illusory Yin Eight Transformations'. Do you understand?"

Su Baichen quickly agreed.

His Illusory Yin Eight Transformations has reached the fourth rank, and it has already shown great strength in actual combat.

Xuan Yin Zhenren knew perfectly well that Su Baichen was essentially a sword cultivator, yet he still made him use illusion techniques to fight... This shows he didn't want to see his little disciple take any risks.

Su Baichen answered seriously, indicating that he would definitely not act recklessly and would remember his master's teachings... After a while, he was released.

Over the years, Su Baichen had long known that his master was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside... Indeed, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to teach a disciple like Feng Linzi.

Su Baichen was very familiar with the Heavenly Ladder of Yinfeng Pass; he practiced his sword in the stairwell every day.

This time, however, he was going to go up from here.

Feng Linzi looked at Su Baichen and asked, "How's your practice of the Qi-raising and leaping technique coming along?"

Su Baichen replied, "I've practiced the 'Soaring Clouds Technique,' and it's not bad, I guess."

"Okay, then follow me!"

As he spoke, Feng Linzi leaped into the air and soared straight upwards.

Su Baichen watched as Feng Linzi leaped more than twenty meters high, deftly using the stairs to gain momentum to continue upwards, looking incredibly agile.

He quickly gathered his inner energy and leaped into the air.

This "Soaring Clouds and Leaping Technique" is a "common" lightness technique that all disciples of Changchun Palace can learn. When mastered to a high level, it allows one to directly ride the clouds and fly.

While Su Baichen couldn't leap more than 20 meters high like Feng Linzi, he could still leap more than 10 meters.

At a height of over ten meters, you have to use the landing every two stair platforms.

Although it is not as agile as Maple Forest, it does not lose much speed due to frequent breathing and leveraging.

Only two or three breaths after Feng Linzi stepped onto the top of the Heavenly Ladder, Su Baichen also leaped up from below and landed beside him.

"Not bad, I thought you would take a break to catch your breath halfway through."

Faced with the praise, Su Baichen said shyly, "I still can't catch up with my senior brother."

Feng Linzi chuckled: "You caught up with me so easily? That's unacceptable!"

Then he asked, "Have you learned how to travel safely?"

Su Baichen said, "Well, before I left, my Martial Aunt Shuiyin taught me the 'Walking on Waves Technique,' and I think I've mastered it quite well."

Feng Linzi was surprised: "That senior sister rarely pays attention to people, yet she's acquainted with you?"

Su Baichen nodded: "My aunt is a very nice person. It's mainly because she has a good relationship with my master. Every time my master makes something delicious, I will send it to her. Gradually, my aunt has become very caring towards me."

Feng Linzi blinked, somewhat bewildered: "But why do I always feel that Aunt Shuiyinji has a grudge against our master... I remember that she never gave our master or me a friendly look before..."

Su Baichen said he didn't know.

Feng Linzi didn't ask any more questions about the elders. He took a step and slid more than ten meters in one step.

Su Baichen asked in surprise, "Shrinking the earth to an inch?"

Fenglinzi replied, "Come quickly."

Su Baichen didn't waste any words. He started jogging with small, quick steps, his feet bobbing up and down as if he were rising and falling with the water.

With each rise and fall of his body, he slid forward a considerable distance.

One great advantage of this "walking on water" method is that it makes traveling faster and less strenuous.

Of course, it would be more convenient if it were on water.

The two brothers traveled for most of the day and stopped in the mountains before dark.

Su Baichen looked around and dug up several wild bamboo shoots.

"Senior brother, we can have this tonight."

He happily lit a campfire, and then took out a large pot directly from a gold-threaded cloth bag.

Feng Linzi was about to say "no need," but when he saw the large pot, his eyes widened: "Is this a storage artifact? Did Master give it to you?"

Storage artifacts are very precious; even true disciples of Changchun Palace don't all possess one.

This is usually given as a reward for completing an important task for the sect, or it may be a special gift from an elder.

Anyway, Fenglinzi doesn't have such a thing yet.

Su Baichen replied, "This was given to me by Diaoran Weng."

Feng Linzi asked in confusion, "Fishing Elder? Is he a senior of our Yin Sect?"

Su Baichen said, "Probably. He's an old man who likes fishing. I didn't expect him to give me this 'treasure pouch' when I said goodbye to him yesterday..."

Feng Linzi was initially puzzled, then gasped: "That's Grandmaster Angler! You've become so familiar with him?"

He was somewhat puzzled, because the old fisherman usually treated the younger generation with cold indifference, and over time, no one bothered to bother him. How did Su Baichen manage to do that?

However, Su Baichen replied with a bitter face, "I don't know either. I've actually been trying to avoid him. Every time I want to go fishing, I make a point of avoiding him, but he always sticks to me like a leech, pointing and gesturing at me. Sigh..."

He looked utterly annoyed.

Feng Linzi was puzzled and could only sigh that "different people have different fates." Why was his junior brother so popular?
