I, who was turned into a woman by the Jade Maiden Master, want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

Oh, what a tragedy!

Qin Rufeng could foresee that the karma he had acquired today would have a huge and far-reaching impact on him in the future. Putting aside everything else, anyone would want to avoid the troubles in Yan Qingping's family.

But... at least it makes me feel better to say it that way. Seeing that Yan Qingping was somewhat comforted, Qin Rufeng felt gratified.

Having recovered her strength, Yan Qingping finally began to consider the current situation. "Ru Feng, no matter what happens next, it's best for neither of us to act rashly for now. Let's find a place to recover some spiritual energy first, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Qin Rufeng: "Miss Yan is right."

"Why are you being so formal?" Yan Qingping said. "Just call me Qingping. I don't actually like people calling me Miss."

Qin Rufeng nodded. "Okay, Qingping."

Yan Qingping smiled and took Qin Rufeng's hand, saying, "Come with me. I found a cave earlier. Let's go there to take shelter for a while."

Chapter 39 yields another gain.

Qin Rufeng then traveled with Yan Qingping. Looking at her figure in white, he couldn't help but think of his master, Liu Bailian…

Because Yan Qingping's clothes were burned and torn to shreds, they would be completely unwearable if someone tore them further. Knowing he was in the wrong, Qin Rufeng gave Yan Qingping the white robe of a Xuanwu disciple. He then changed back into his Flowing Light and Instant Water set.

This outfit is drafty and unsafe. Qin Rufeng is carefree and doesn't care, but Yan Qingping is unwilling.

So she altered her torn clothes and cut them into a long dress, which she then gave to Rufeng. Who would have thought her sword could be used for tailoring?

Wearing the long dress, Qin Rufeng felt much safer. Yan Qingping then gave her a waist-cinching armor, a protective suit made of horned python skin.

In addition, Yan Qingping also gave the remaining bandages to Rufeng Wrapped Rabbit. In this way, the upper body was also protected, and Qin Rufeng no longer needed to devote energy to controlling spiritual energy to "protect her body".

After entering the cave, the two immediately sat down to meditate and regulate their breathing. Qin Rufeng handed Yan Qingping a Qi Condensation Pill, saying, "Quickly eat this to restore your spiritual energy."

Yan Qingping was overjoyed and asked with concern, "Aren't you going to use it?"

Qin Rufeng: "I just took it recently. Taking this kind of thing continuously will damage your meridians."

In fact, the damage to the meridians from continuous use may not be immediately apparent, and when disaster strikes, there is no need to worry about so much.

Qin Rufeng had other reasons for refusing the elixir. She had absorbed a considerable amount of primordial yin, causing her lower abdomen (dantian) to swell considerably. Afraid that Yan Qingping would notice, she tightened her waistband, making it almost overflow. This was enough for her to refine thoroughly.

After taking the Qi Condensation Pill, Yan Qingping's aura became calm and her sharpness subdued, and she returned to being the dashing and charismatic older sister she once was.

As she regulated her breathing, she said softly, "Ru Feng, what you said about the Blood Shadow Sect's demonic cultivators is indeed troublesome. But we may not be unable to defeat them."

Qin Rufeng was slightly taken aback. "You have a way?"

Yan Qingping: "As you said, the entrance to that secret realm was stolen. The golden beetle you described seems to be a kind of Gu worm."

Qin Rufeng: "Gu worms? Gu refining? Gu worms are so abstract, can they eat the entrance to a secret realm and then spit it out?"

Yan Qingping then asked, "After that Blood Shadow Sect witch named Han Ying left, was the secret realm taken back?"

Qin Rufeng thought for a moment and said, "It was taken back by the golden-armored Gu worms of the man in yellow."

“That’s it.” Yan Qingping nodded. “Then he did indeed steal the entrance to the secret realm, rather than being able to open it himself.”

Qin Rufeng asked, "What's the difference?"

“Of course there is a difference,” Yan Qingping said with a smile. “The entrance to the Secret Realm Tracking Trial has a cultivation level restriction. The highest level is Foundation Establishment.”

"I think that demonic cultivator named Han Ying is definitely more than just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she has to suppress her cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage to enter the secret realm. Even if the Gu worms stole the entrance to the secret realm, it won't change that."

Qin Rufeng remained optimistic and continued to ask, "Will she be able to recover her cultivation after entering the secret realm?"

“That depends on the situation,” Yan Qingping said. “Suppressing one’s cultivation level is like shrinking oneself into a small house.”

"If she wants to grow bigger again, she has to fight against the house. If the house is sturdier, her whole body will be twisted and compressed beyond recognition."

"In reality, if that person named Han Ying dared to unleash her full power, she would inevitably be seriously injured, perhaps even to the point of death."

"But if she herself is stronger than the house, then the house will be torn apart," Yan Qingping continued. "The secret realm won't be shattered, but it will create many exits that match her cultivation level. I think at that time, experts from all the major sects outside will enter the secret realm together."

"Therefore, we need to consider two scenarios."

Qin Rufeng hurriedly asked, "Which two?"

Yan Qingping said, "One possibility is that we're facing Han Ying, who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Although she's also at Foundation Establishment, she must have many methods and magical treasures. She's experienced and ruthless. She also has a yellow-robed man as an accomplice."

"As for the other scenario, we'll have to face Han Ying after she recovers her cultivation level. In that case, the seniors from various sects will come to our rescue. But we must find a way to survive until they arrive."

Qin Rufeng thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible for us to team up with other people?"

Yan Qingping frowned slightly. "It's difficult. Everyone in the secret realm is in danger. It's really too difficult for you to convince others to believe you."

"I am the only one from the Taihua Sword Sect participating in this trial. How many people does your Jade Maiden Sect have?"

Qin Rufeng remembered that Yun Yishui had mentioned it before. She thought about it carefully and said, "Besides me, there seem to be two others. One is from the Vermilion Bird Palace, a disciple of Ji Xuelan. And one is from the Hou Tu Hall. But I don't know either of them."

“Then it’s unreliable.” Yan Qingping shook her head.

"And even if we believe it, so what? If the demonic cultivator's cultivation level were higher, the group might be able to join forces to survive. But now that the demonic cultivator is suppressing his cultivation, the others might even see it as an opportunity."

"Perhaps some people are afraid that you will steal the credit, and some people are hiding in the shadows hoping to reap the benefits. In any case, there are very few people who can truly join forces with you."

"Sigh, is that really how it is?" Qin Rufeng seemed quite disappointed. She had initially held onto hope for her senior sister from the Vermilion Bird Palace, after all, Ji Xuelan seemed like a decent person.

But upon closer reflection, Yan Qingping's words made sense.

Qin Rufeng said with a grave expression, "But we can't wait any longer. Han Ying's entry into the secret realm must be part of a grand conspiracy. If she succeeds..."

“There are two possibilities for her to succeed,” Yan Qingping continued. “One is that she becomes even more invincible, and the other is that she doesn’t change.”

"No matter what, she can't stay in the secret realm forever. So waiting for her to leave is not a bad idea."

"The senior sects outside won't stand idly by. They'll probably reopen the entrance to the secret realm, but it will take time to prepare."

“The entrance to the newly opened secret realm will certainly not be restricted by cultivation level. If Han Ying is still there then, she won’t be able to leave.”

"So, Rufeng, don't rush. Let's keep our positions hidden for now."

Qin Rufeng breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I feel a little more at ease now that you say that."

Yan Qingping smiled and said, "So let's rest and recuperate. But I have something I'm curious about: do you have three kinds of spiritual roots?"

“It’s not just three,” Qin Rufeng said with a wry smile. “I have all five elements now.” She then poured out her grievances about her predicament.

Instead of lamenting, Yan Qingping asked, "So, you also have a golden spiritual root but no corresponding cultivation method."

Qin Rufeng nodded...

Yan Qingping smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll teach you the 'Ten Thousand Swords Technique' to help you cultivate your Golden Spiritual Root."

Upon hearing about the cultivation method, Qin Rufeng immediately became enthusiastic.

Chapter 40, ...

"The 'Ten Thousand Swords Technique' of the Taihua Sword Sect was created by my Yan family ancestor. It was with this sword technique that my ancestor pacified Taihua and established the sect!"

Yan Qingping's eyes lit up when she spoke of her family's unique skills. Her imposing and heroic bearing was tinged with a captivating charm, yet her eyes were also alluring and seductive, making her utterly irresistible. One couldn't help but want to pounce on her and pin her down...

"Pah! What am I thinking!" Qin Rufeng dismissed his distracting thoughts and continued to listen attentively.

Yan Qingping continued, "The Myriad Swords Technique has five forms: one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand."

"【One Sword Opens the Heavens】Extremely powerful and fierce, it can open the heavens and split the earth. The heavy sword has no edge, and it is invincible."

"【Ambush from Ten Sides】Unpredictable and silent. Nowhere to hide, nowhere to resist."

"【Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix】A divine weapon, its brilliance shines across the heavens. The phoenix spreads its wings, its feathers transforming into a sword."

"【Thousands of Mountains Flying Snow】The world is vast and boundless, the wind is strong and the mountains and rivers are intertwined, and the sword energy is rampant."

"【Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect】..." At this point, Yan Qingping's brows furrowed. "Return to the sect? What sect?! Where in the sect can I find a place to belong!"

"So I changed this move to [Ten Thousand Flower Sword Rain], which greatly reduced the difficulty of executing the move, but it requires a magic weapon."

Qin Rufeng gave a wry smile and said, "So the strongest move of the Myriad Swords Technique was used against me before?"

“No, that’s not it,” Yan Qingping said. “From one to ten thousand, they are just different moves, not different in strength.”

"The Thousand Flower Sword Rain is only versatile. In reality, against an opponent like you who can use the Instantaneous Movement Technique, it's better to use the Thousand Mountain Flying Snow Sword Qi to protect your body."

Qin Rufeng was pleased to hear this, but Yan Qingping didn't produce any martial arts manuals or similar items. She was too embarrassed to ask, so she hinted, "It's a pity that such a powerful sword technique can't be learned by cramming at the last minute, otherwise we might have had a better chance of survival in this secret realm."

"That's not necessarily true," Yan Lingmeng said with a smile. "Come, I'll teach you now."

Qin Rufeng's eyes lit up whenever she touched a martial arts technique. As a transmigrator, she had no qualms about learning techniques from other schools or sects, so she didn't refuse at all.

Yan Qingping then quickly recited the first move, "One Sword Opens the Heavens," the method for circulating internal energy.

Qin Rufeng listened intently, but Yan Qingping spoke too quickly and she only remembered about 70-80% of it.

Seeing her serious expression, Yan Qingping laughed out loud, "Rufeng, have you remembered?"

Qin Rufeng shook his head with a wry smile, "Could you slow down a bit?"

Yan Qingping laughed and said, "If everyone could remember everything they see or hear after just one listen, then there would be no need to write down the techniques on silk or bamboo paper."

“My Yan clan has a unique method of passing on skills. Because it is only passed down to the eldest son, even my deceased elder brother did not know it. My uncle and aunt certainly did not know it either. Now, I am the only one in the world who knows it.”

Qin Rufeng frowned. "Is this... suitable for me to teach?"

"What's wrong with it?" Yan Qingping said nonchalantly. "They've usurped the position, and even I, the legitimate daughter, am going to be expelled from the sect and even assassinated... What's the point of adhering to these rules then?"

"Ru Feng, I only ask you, do you want to learn? Are you afraid of pain?"

"I want to learn!" Qin Rufeng answered without hesitation. "What's pain? I almost killed myself while practicing several times."

"Alright," Yan Qingping said, "Take off your clothes."

Qin Rufeng: "Huh?"

Yan Qingping: "What, you don't want to?"

Qin Rufeng: "Does this... have anything to do with learning martial arts techniques?"

Yan Qingping: "Have you forgotten how you bullied me before? Now it's my turn to take the lead, but you're not willing?"

"I..." Qin Rufeng's face was already flushed.

Is it really necessary to pay such a price to learn the technique? Oh well, it's my own fault... it's only right to return it to her.

Yan Qingping chuckled, "Ru Feng, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, because this method of transferring power requires using a sword to carve the meridians on the body to guide the flow of energy."

"Is that so?" This made Qin Rufeng feel even less burdened.

She gently removed her clothes, revealing herself as a flawless jade and a bright pearl in the blue sea, like white snow and peach blossoms rippling in the spring breeze.

Yan Qingping trembled as she gently ran her finger across Qin Rufeng's face, causing Qin Rufeng to shudder and let out a soft moan.

Yan Qingping said softly, "Don't worry, I wouldn't bear to hurt you in the slightest. I'll use my fingers instead of a sword, so there won't be any marks or pain."

Qin Rufeng nodded, and Yan Qingping then used her fingers as a sword to trace over Rufeng's fair skin and bones.

It doesn't hurt, but it feels... so strange. I feel unbearably hot all over, and I can't control myself.

"Um, is it done yet?"

"It'll be soon, just bear with it," Yan Qingping said. "Next up are Yin Jiao, Qi Hai, Zhong Ji, and Qu Gu acupoints."

"Ugh!" Although the erosion of her meridians didn't hurt, it was still excruciating. Qin Rufeng bit her lip tightly, her body trembling like a leaf.

After a series of operations, a complete set of the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique" was engraved on Qin Rufeng's body.

Qin Rufeng was completely limp and couldn't even stand. Yan Qingping held her tightly and positioned her in a meditative posture.

Qin Rufeng, drenched in sweat, whispered, "Is this how you learned it too?"

“Of course not,” Yan Qingping said. “When I was young, I had plenty of time. My father taught me by dictation and by hand. If I weren’t pressed for time, I wouldn’t have used this method to teach you.”

"By the way, what was that feeling? Why did you look at me like you were about to unleash the true form of Fox Spirit?"

Qin Rufeng gave Yan Qingping a resentful look, "You know perfectly well why I'm asking."

Yan Qingping only smiled and remained silent...

Qin Rufeng then asked, "So, I can use the Myriad Swords Technique?"

Yan Qingping still shook her head, "Knowing only how to circulate internal energy is not enough; you also need to cultivate diligently."

Qin Rufeng: "Isn't that still not enough? It can't improve strength immediately."

"That's not entirely true," Yan Qingping said. "Right now, you just need to master the third move, 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'."
