Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

However, if this girl is already so eager for a single Heaven-grade cultivation technique, what would happen if she took out all the Dao-grade cultivation techniques in her inventory? Would she just take off her clothes and offer herself to him?

Wow, just thinking about that scene is exciting.

At this moment, Yunping was imagining the scene of Ye Yuchan delivering the goods to his door, while Ye Yuchan herself had already put away her cultivation technique and coughed lightly twice.

She gathered the emotions welling up inside her and said softly, with a hint of shyness.

"Ahem... Um, thanks."

"Hmm? What are you thanking me for?"

"This cultivation manual... must be very precious, right? Thank you for giving it to me."

"Oh, this~" Yunping blinked. "We're master and disciple, so it's perfectly normal for me to give you a cultivation technique. There's no need to thank me."

"Ah... oh..."

Ye Yuchan nodded blankly, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

“Oh right, we are master and apprentice…”

Teachers and students... well.

Yunping glanced at Ye Yuchan, who suddenly looked dejected, with a sense of strangeness. He couldn't understand why this girl was so excited one second and then looked so gloomy the next.

—Could it be a relative coming to visit?

Since this was a student's private matter, Yunping lowered his voice and quietly asked, "Yu Chan, you're not on your period, are you?"

"Huh?!" Ye Yuchan immediately looked at Yun Ping with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert. "Are you crazy?! Why are you suddenly asking this?!"

"Huh? No... Looks like my prediction was wrong."

"What are you predicting?! Are you trying to predict my period?!"

"Eh--"

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

This makes it even stranger: why did her emotions change so drastically?

No matter how hard he tried, Yunping couldn't figure it out. He scratched his face, revealing a rare expression of incomprehension.

—The saying "a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea" is indeed true.

With a sigh in his heart, Yunping simply changed the subject.

"Oh right, I suddenly remembered, I don't think I've given you the formal apprenticeship gift yet?"

"A ceremony for becoming a disciple? Doesn't the cultivation technique you just gave me count?"

"Of course not." Yun Ping shrugged, his extravagant wealth immediately evident in his exaggerated gesture. "Do I look like a stingy person? I'm the kind of person who, even when buying a jianbing (Chinese crepe), will always add three sausages and two eggs!"

Ye Yuchan smirked, "What does jianbing (Chinese crepe) have to do with a discipleship ceremony?"

“The essence is the same!” Yunping said firmly.

Okay, let's assume they're the same.

Let's set aside for now what this guy is up to and hear what his so-called apprenticeship ceremony is all about.

With this thought in mind, Ye Yuchan breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at that handsome and delicate face.

"So what are you going to send me? Don't tell me it's some random junk again."

"What do you mean by 'again'? Can't you watch your wording a little?" Yun Ping corrected him seriously, her face expressionless. "When have I ever given you any random stuff?"

"That spiritual root!"

—How about I get you a thicker one?

Yunping ultimately chose not to say this, because Ye Yuchan's slightly gloomy face showed that she didn't really want to hear jokes right now.

He's almost traumatized by jokes now. He used to tell dirty jokes all the time, but now Ye Yuchan has made him afraid to even tell them.

These days, even being a driver is so difficult.

"Sigh, let's not talk about the past~ But don't worry, what I'm giving you this time is definitely something legitimate."

"You can give me something decent now? Apart from that cultivation manual, I haven't seen you give me anything decent... Basketball is one thing, but you even have... that... that kind of spiritual root! And when I was in the room, I heard my senior sister playing the Pure Land of Bliss."

"What's wrong with the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? Do you have a problem with the Western Pure Land world?!"

"Tch~" Ye Yuchan shrugged noncommittally, then turned to look at Yun Ping, "So, what exactly are you going to give me?"

"Of course, I'll send you something that's rock hard and can be straight or bent... Hey, hey, don't go!"

She responded to Yunping's attempt to persuade her to stay with a smile.

"Anyway, they're all weird stuff, so it shouldn't be a problem if we don't want them."

Yunping stopped in his tracks: "That's not quite right. This thing is quite important; almost everyone needs it."

Ye Yuchan looked slightly surprised: "Everyone...? Are you sure it's not exclusively for male cultivators?"

"Of course not, there are female cultivators too."

Ye Yuchan: "???"

This old scoundrel wouldn't be thinking of setting one up for himself too...

Just as he thought of this, Yunping explained, "Everyone definitely needs magical artifacts and spiritual weapons."

"...Oh~"

Ye Yuchan froze for a moment, then looked enlightened, her pretty face flushing slightly with a touch of shyness.

Damn it, I got the wrong idea...

"Cough cough."

The silver-haired maid coughed twice, then asked, "So what exactly is it? A flexible sword that can be both straight and bent?"

Yunping smiled, shook his finger twice, and uttered two words softly.

"longbow."

My phone screen cracked today, and I lost my things. I haven't been able to eat since. When I got back to my dorm, there were kids crying loudly outside.

Ah... I feel out of sorts all day, I'll update later.

As the saying goes, if your weapon isn't handy, take a trip to the underworld.

From the conversation, Yunping learned that Ye Yuchan had neither practiced swordsmanship since childhood nor learned to use a knife. The only martial art she had ever learned was the Tianbei Valley's Mountain-Crushing Fist. However, that martial art was not much different from a turtle's fist when used, and it could probably only scare her own people. If she were to be put on the battlefield, she would be taken down in less than half a second.

Thinking about it this way, the only thing suitable for Ye Yuchan is probably a bow and arrow.

It's worth mentioning that bows and arrows aren't very popular among cultivators in this world. Basically, only the most basic soldiers of the empire are equipped with bows and arrows; cultivators generally don't care for them.

After all, what is the purpose of cultivating immortality? It's not for eternal life, it's for looking cool!

The longsword is elegant and unrestrained, the long saber is fierce and domineering, and the long spear is exquisite and delicate.

Arrows? What are those? It's just shooting, what's so interesting about that?

This is why bows and arrows have gradually faded from the ranks of magical artifacts. Now, the artisans who can forge bow-shaped magical artifacts have basically disappeared, while the clans that specialize in forging longbows—

The grass on the grave is probably taller than a person by now.

Meanwhile, the unpopularity of bows and arrows also became a reason for Ye Yuchan's unease.

"You don't really want me to learn archery, do you? It seems that all the martial arts related to bows and arrows in the Lingze era have been extinct. Even if we were to find the most recent ones, we would have to go back to the ancient times of the Martial Emperor."

"Didn't the Heavenly Saint of the Hundred Saints era prove his Dao with arrows? There must have been at least a hundred or so books on archery he left behind. It's for your own good to have you learn archery. Who told you to never practice with any weapons since you were little and only practiced wild punches?"

"That's the Mountain-Crushing Fist!" Ye Yuchan waved her little pink fists twice at the air in front of her and retorted with dissatisfaction, "Elder Zhang, who taught me the Mountain-Crushing Fist, said that if you cultivate the Mountain-Crushing Fist to the ninth level of perfection, you can punch through a mountain!"

Elder Zhang?

Where have I heard this name before? Isn't that the old man next to Liang Shi back then Elder Zhang?

The thought of bombarding the old man with all sorts of rifles and RPGs made it impossible for Yunping to imagine him punching through a mountain.

They're talking about a mountain collapsing? They'd be lucky if a duck died.

However, for Ye Yuchan's sake, Yunping decided not to tell her the cruel truth about how she had practiced Bengya Fist for so many years.

……

Walking along the streets in the southwest corner of Jinglin City, looking at the crowds coming and going on both sides, and the small vendors sitting on the street corners constantly calling out their wares, Yunping felt a sense of nostalgia rise in his heart.

Perhaps it's because I've been staying in the courtyard house on the hillside for too long that I've even forgotten how to write the word "lively".

On the contrary, Ye Yuchan remained calm. She had been to Jinglin City more than a hundred times. She could know how to enter and leave the city with her eyes closed. She was already used to such a lively scene.

She was just curious why Yunping would bring her to Jinglin City. Wasn't he supposed to be giving her a longbow?

It's impossible for someone to be so stingy as to just randomly go to a weapon shop and buy a longbow for themselves, right?

Fortunately, Yunping couldn't see through Ye Yuchan's inner thoughts despite her expressionless face; otherwise, he would definitely have given her a thumbs up and praised her.

Congratulations, you got it right!

Yunping really did take him to the weapon shop!

【Love to come or not, rolling machine shop 9527】

"Hey, what is this thing?" Ye Yuchan pointed to the wooden plaque above her head with crooked, broken characters, her eyebrows twitching. "The longbow you're talking about doesn't come from... this godforsaken place, does it?"

Yunping nodded nonchalantly, "That's right."

"Can I go back to cultivate now? I don't want to waste time," Ye Yuchan said coldly.

"What do you mean by wasting time? Your master is prepared to spend a fortune to get you a divine bow."

"Haha, I think the bows produced in this kind of place are really amazing—in some ways."

"No, no, no, that's your mistake." Yun Ping waved his finger in front of Ye Yuchan, clicking his tongue as he did so. "You can't judge a book by its cover. Remember, often the most ordinary appearance means the most outstanding soul. Look at your teacher, aren't I just that kind of person!"

—It's hopeless.

This self-aggrandizing man who acts like a lunatic all the time is beyond saving.
