Chapter 22: Teaching Until Dawn
The red candle’s residual flame was still a little warm in spring.
Bai Lian, who was standing beside the bed, had already removed her Li Yue Taoist robe and changed into a plain white loose coat. Her shoes stood toward the edge of the bed, with a pair of white lace-up socks on her feet.
She clutched a short stick in her hand and appeared serious.
This caused Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei to swiftly sit up straight.
Bai Lian waved her right hand in the air. With the rippling of water, a translucent whiteboard composed of spiritual power emerged.
With a thought, the words “How to cultivate” appeared on the whiteboard.
This is the theme of today’s course. The course’s participants include female teacher Bai Lian, her two younger Martial Sisters, and a perplexed rabbit.
Bai Lian knocked on the whiteboard with a wooden stick. “Who will tell me what is important in cultivation?”
This question is too simple!
The jade rabbit raised its ears.
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei exchanged glances as they considered the predicament.
Um.
Fortunately, it’s not “her” who is going to answer the question!
They decided not to think about driving each other away from Qiongming Peak for the time being because of what transpired during the day, which somewhat strengthened their bond.
But it was impossible to say how good their relationship could be.
They were all eager for each other’s cultivation base to be unable to improve from now on and were pulled more and more away by themselves.
“It’s all right. Don’t be afraid of your low strength. I, your Elder Martial Sister (younger Martial Sister) will protect you!”
At this time, the jade rabbit stepped forward and wrote a crazy “Grass” on the ground with its ears.
Bai Lian peeked at the word and recognized its meaning.
“That’s right!” Bai Lian nodded approvingly, “While spiritual herbs are a valuable resource for growing, they are not the only thing you need. Qualification is a crucial component in addition to resources.”
She wrote two lines of [Cultivation talent] and [State of mind] on the whiteboard.
“There is no need to discuss talent. You’re all unique geniuses. What I want to discuss today is the state of mind!”
The stick pointed to the word “Mind.”.
The water rippled.
Xiao Jinse understood.
Wasn’t this what Martial Sister Bai Lian once said to her?
“Don’t bully the poor girl!”
Change!
Humans were evolving along with the world. This was a mindset that aspired to advance and refused to concede defeat.
Su Youwei stared nervously at the second Elder Martial Sister.
What do you know?
Bai Lian swiftly arrived in the state and was acknowledged by the Martial Sisters with reverence, which helped her gradually realize the value of teaching.
This is equivalent to the ancient “Emperor teacher.”
Awesome, Martial Sister Bai Lian!
“The importance of the state of mind is self-evident. Many geniuses improve their strength rapidly, but because their state of mind can’t keep up with their cultivation base, they either die under heavenly thunder, become a vessel of their internal demon, or are killed because they are too arrogant.”
Su Youwei nodded deeply.
She had seen many of such people, and she was also one of those affected. If she hadn’t been ensnared by her inner monster, she would have progressed to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Bai Lian said, “There’s something wrong with both of you. The second Martial Sister lacks self-confidence. Well, you’ve changed a lot lately, which is admirable.”
Xiao Jinse smiled happily.
Bai Lian continued, “Your internal devil is strongly ingrained in you, Third Martial Sister. You risk falling into the Shura path, if you can’t figure it out in time and hastily upgrade your cultivation foundation. In embarrassment, Su Youwei bowed her head.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had broached this subject with her several times, and she had also attempted to prevent the erosion of her internal demon, but she was unable to forget her previous life in any circumstance. It was probably hard for her to find the appropriate route on her own. She needed Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s assistance!
She asked, “Elder Martial Sister, did you meet any internal demon during your cultivation?”
This…
Bai Lian thought carefully.
Although she had been disturbed by memories from her previous life, she had not been possessed by an internal demon.
“Is it because I don’t have ethics, or because the Innocence Heart rewarded by the system is very powerful?”
Bai Lian was lost in thought.
The system task jumped out.
[Task 1: Admit that you have never met any internal demon (Reward: a medium-grade magic tool—Tianling Fan)]
[Task 2: Perfunctory response (Reward: a secret medicine—Fascination)]
[Task 3: Make up a story about your struggle with your internal demon for the younger Martial Sisters (Reward: Weapon Refining +2)]
Task 3 should be the most difficult.
Is this a white lie?
After a long time, Bai Lian raised her head, and the doubts in her eyes were dispersed, leaving only firmness.
“Do you know?”
“?”
“The entire Qiongming Peak had no disciples for 400 years prior to my arrival. Outside the window, it was snowing like goose feathers on the day I joined Qiongming Peak. From now on, you will be the Martial Sister of Qiongming Peak,” Master An Lan murmured, tenderly stroking my head with her little, warm palm.”
“……”
“This may seem like greatness to some, but it seems like a lot of pressure to me. Our master is reputed to be the Duxian sect’s strongest master. As I lay on this bed that night, I started to reflect.”
“Am I really qualified to be her disciple?
“Can my qualifications really hold the position of Qiongming Peak’s Elder Martial Sister?
“If I fail to break through for a long time, will I lose face for the master?
“If…”
“I tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep. If I had kept this state, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to cultivate.”
Bai Lian raised her head slightly while speaking. In the mirror, her body appeared to be covered in a layer of holy brilliance. The bowknot tied around the belt of the lace-up socks appeared to come to life in the mirror.
Her two younger Martial Sisters and the jade rabbit believed.
Bai Lian almost believed this nonsense herself.
An Lan, who appeared outside the window, held her breath and began to recall what happened on the first day she met Bai Lian.
The place should be in front of the fruit stall on Qinghe Street.
The mysterious girl, who seemed to be the incarnation of the word “Death,” attracted her attention.
On a whim, she suddenly came up with the idea of taking the girl as a disciple, and the girl agreed without much hesitation.
After that, she ended her wandering and led the girl back to Qiongming Peak.
After the ceremony, she changed the girl’s clothes herself and taught the girl the cultivation method.
She clearly remembered every detail of that moment.
But all the memories ended before saying goodbye to the girl for the first time. After instructing the girl to cultivate hard, she had no idea what the girl had done.
“What happened that day?”
An Lan was silent.
She dissected her memory a little bit, but she still couldn’t think of anything useful.
Looking at the scene of Bai Lian seriously educating the two younger Martial Sisters, An Lan’s heart gradually drifted away.
“After all, am I too ignorant of her existence?”
Speaking of, wasn’t it strange that she would suddenly have the idea of taking Bai Lian as her disciple that day?
Even if she wanted to see how Bai Lian would die, there was no need to do this step.
After all, she had been lonely for 400 years, and she had long been used to this loneliness.
……
Su Youwei asked, “Elder Martial Sister, how did you get out of self-doubt?”
Bai Lian slowly stretched out her right hand.
Her fingertips met in the mirror.
She pressed lightly.
The hard mirror actually rippled like a pool of water, and the figure of Bai Lian in the mirror blurred.
Bai Lian spoke as if her voice came from a mirror.
“The method of visualization!”
“Just as there is another me in this mirror, I thought of another me in my heart. This me is perfect, and she never fears any difficulties. When she meets the same situation as me, she will never question herself. Since she has become Qiongming Peak’s Elder Martial Sister, she will improve all her skills to make herself worthy of this identity!”
“I tried to follow in her footsteps. One day, when I meditated again, she suddenly disappeared.”
“Elder Martial Sister…”
“I don’t need her anymore.” Bai Lian smiled and moved her hand away from the mirror, “Like this mirror.”
At that moment, the brilliant and pristine mirror shattered into innumerable fragments.
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei opened their mouths slightly and couldn’t speak for a long time.
Martial Sister Bai Lian was reflected in every piece of the broken glass.
Every Martial Sister Bai Lian seemed to have traces of the past.
When all the pieces fell to the ground, there was only a perfect Martial Sister Bai Lian left in front of them!
She’s holding herself up!
No one knows how to be Qiongming Peak’s Elder Martial Sister better than her!
Su Youwei’s flat chest rose in excitement.
The method of visualization.
Could she also defeat her internal demon along the road of Martial Sister Bai Lian?
Su Youwei was not very confident.
After all, if you put her in front of Martial Sister Bai Lian, wasn’t it like taking the fluorescence of a firefly to compare with the bright moon in the sky?
Can’t compete!
Xiao Jinse was also deeply moved.
She wanted to take Martial Sister Bai Lian as an example and grow into a respected heroine!
[Task has been completed. Weapon Refining +2]
Bai Lian smiled.
She just used too much force and accidentally broke the mirror. Fortunately, she explained it with reasonable words.
It seemed that the Martial Sisters had accepted her story.
Although she didn’t know what they understood, it was good that they did.
“Okay.” Bai Lian said, “I was not going to teach you today just to tell this story. You will challenge those Yunluo disciples in ten days. Although I can’t help you get rid of the internal demon, I can do other things. Come here!”
The two younger Martial Sisters leaned over.
“The fastest way to improve your mood is by insight.”
With that, Bai Lian bent down.
Xiao Jinse understood.
It’s Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s night tutorial.
Watch her feet…
Bah, it’s to watch the Tao Halo!
Xiao Jinse was excited, but the moment she saw Su Youwei, her good mood was completely destroyed.
Damn it.
This should have been a private moment for her alone.
If only I could throw the third Martial Sister out of the window.
Whatever Xiao Jinse thought, Bai Lian still took off her lace-up socks.
Looking closely, it was as white as snow.
Bai Lian took down the earring used to hide her Tao Halo and explained, “This is Tao Halo. Even if you can’t understand anything by watching it, it can help you improve your mood.”
The jade feet swayed gently, and the Tao Halo formed and rippled.
Su Youwei looked at the complicated waves pulled by Bai Lian’s heels in horror.
Tao Halo.
It was said that only Natural Saints could emit Tao Halo.
But… didn’t the female disciple in her previous life tell her that Martial Sister Bai Lian was a fake Natural Saint? What was the matter?
In order to see more clearly, Su Youwei grabbed Bai Lian’s ankle obsessively.
For a moment, everyone, including herself, was stunned.
Zhu Xian
The sisters now have foot fetishes! Incredible!
Lol 😂
