The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 25.1

That person had rosy lips and white teeth, a bright and beautiful face, wearing a lotus green pleated skirt, with jade tassels fluttering at her waist, and raven feather like ink black hair tied up with a blue ribbon, the rest naturally flowing over her shoulders.

Who else could it be but Yan Jue, the Water Cloud Sect Flower, who was known to be like fire and water with Qi Xianqing!!!

“Aiya, I heard that Yan Jue, in order to make Dream Heng Jun lose face publicly, specially dug a large pit on the path Dream Heng Jun took for her morning exercises and almost buried her alive with weeds.”

“Don’t even mention it. I heard Yan Jue also secretly stole the talisman papers Fairy Qi was supposed to hand over to her Master on the first day, causing her to fail to complete the task on time and kneel under the cold waterfall for two hours.”

“And when Fairy Qi was bathing, Yan Jue secretly took her clothes and threatened to return them only if Qi Xianqing knelt down to her…”

Yan Jue silently listened to the discussions of the surrounding disciples and couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

Are the people around here too idle?!

The great Dream Heng Jun is a person of vast generosity and probably forgot about those incidents long ago, so why are they bringing up an unpleasant past now?!

Yan Jue quickly glanced at Qi Xianqing again.

Qi Xianqing’s expression remained calm, seemingly not hearing the surrounding comments. She spoke softly to the shop owner.

“Forget it, stop talking. Let’s see what Fairy Qi is buying first.”

Someone said that, and everyone’s gaze instantly focused on the item Qi Xianqing was about to buy.

The owner took out a Talisman Plaque from the counter.

Someone quickly recognized the marking on the Talisman Plaque.

“What is that? Never seen it before?”

“Look at our Senior Sister. The things she buys are so rare. Are you a bumpkin? That’s called a Gui Yin Talisman, a Talisman Plaque specifically used to store Yin essence.”

“This must be needed for a task… What rank of task requires this kind of thing? It must be very expensive? Will Venerable Yun Zhen provide the funds? But I heard Masters don’t provide funds for their disciples’ task expenses.”

“Wait, this seems to imply that Senior Sister is very wealthy! Wuwu the top disciple of the Shock Fire Sect is never short of money.”

The owner smiled and handed the Gui Yin Talisman to Qi Xianqing: “This is the only Gui Yin Talisman we have in stock. The price is beautiful: only 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones.”

The crowd gasped at the price.

Although things in the Five Dragons Market were a bit expensive, they generally maintained a reasonable price.

Normally, buying things, 100 High Grade Spirit Stones could already buy a rare Yellow rank magic weapon.

This Gui Yin Talisman was too expensive!!!

Qi Xianqing opened her Qiankun Bag (Cosmic Bag) to check and suddenly paused, having discovered something.

She didn’t have enough money.

Her Spirit Stones were almost used up; she only had over 900 High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The Five Dragons Market had its rules: no credit, and discounts were rare unless there was an event.

Now, with so many people watching, there were inevitably people from Kongqing Mansion among them.

If they found out she didn’t have enough money, who knows what tomorrow’s Five Dragons Compendium would write.

Qi Xianqing slightly frowned, moistened her lips, and was about to speak.

A hand suddenly reached out from the side.

Yan Jue said softly, “Here are 100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Converting them to High Grade Spirit Stones should be enough.”

Qi Xianqing paused slightly: “Thank you.”

Yan Jue: “You’re welcome.”

Logically speaking, the woman in the painting, having lost her consciousness due to the loss of Yin essence, had already become part of the painting.

Qi Xianqing, having taken possession of that magical artifact, could completely use the woman inside as her puppet.

But she didn’t do that; instead, she chose to save the woman.

Qi Xianqing cared about the world. The woman in the painting had lost a lot of Yin essence, making her a mere walking corpse.

And one Gui Yin Talisman was truly too expensive. Qi Xianqing’s Shock Fire Sect might not have this kind of resource.

With her reserved and taciturn personality, she probably felt too embarrassed to ask her Master for it, so she had no choice but to buy it herself.

Qi Xianqing was genuinely wealthy. A disciple like her should never be short of money, but the fact that she had used up almost all her savings and still didn’t have 1,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones shows where all that money went.

When Qi Xianqing traveled outside, she inevitably gave charity to poor citizens she saw.

That was also the reason Yan Jue offered up her own savings.

Qi Xianqing and Yan Jue returned to Qiwu Peak, arriving by the empty cold pool. Qi Xianqing slowly unrolled the painting, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.

Yan Jue watched her from the side.

Today, Qi Xianqing wore an ink dyed long dress, still with convenient narrow sleeves. Her long hair was tied up with a hairpin, the rest naturally flowing over her shoulders. The breeze by the lake brushed past, gently lifting the girl’s ink black hair.

In the sunlight, her skin was snow-white, and her features possessed an indescribable purity.

Qi Xianqing suddenly said, “I will repay you the 100 Mid Grade Spirit Stones later.”

Yan Jue: “I know you’re not short of this money, but I offered this money willingly. You don’t need to repay me. I also want to save her.”

Qi Xianqing looked at her for a moment, then stopped speaking, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her true essence.

Yan Jue’s gaze was fixed on the painting, and she noticed that the person in the painting slowly began to disappear.

The Gui Yin Talisman constantly circulated in the air, and something could faintly be seen continuously being transported into the woman’s body.

Qi Xianqing was casting a spell, and Yan Jue quietly learned from the side.

This method was like reciting a mental chant and gradually injecting the Yin essence from the Gui Yin Talisman into the woman’s body.

Then, Qi Xianqing drew the long sword from her waist and sliced her own finger!

Blood flowed out.

Magical artifacts all recognize their masters. For high level artifacts like this, the owner must communicate with the artifact once a month. If the artifact is not used for too long, the connection with the artifact will be lost.

Qi Xianqing was having the painting re-recognize her as its master.

Sure enough, the scarlet blood slowly dripped onto the painting, and a faint golden light gradually lit up on the painting.

Qi Xianqing closed her eyes, and her spiritual consciousness sank.

A woman’s body slowly appeared on the grass patch nearby. The woman lay on the ground, slightly frowning, with a pained expression and faint breathing, but she was clearly out of danger.

Yan Jue then withdrew her gaze and began to daydream.

Not far away was a huge mountain lake. Two water birds were chasing and playing, one chasing the other.

Occasionally, the water birds’ slender claws lightly tapped the water surface, creating fine ripples.

Yan Jue couldn’t help but recall the light body technique she had failed to master in her room last night.

In this world, light body technique was too important.

It could both save lives and help chase people.

She remembered that during her first mission down the mountain, she let the killer escape because her speed wasn’t fast enough.

But how could her body become more agile?

Yan Jue couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

After an unknown period, Yan Jue came back to her senses. It was already sunset.

The woman was still lying on the stone and hadn’t woken up. Qi Xianqing sat on the lush grass, no longer in the cross-legged meditation posture but sitting somewhat casually. Yan Jue opened her eyes and unexpectedly met Qi Xianqing’s thoughtful gaze.

Qi Xianqing: “What are you thinking about?”

Perhaps the trip down the mountain together had brought the two of them closer. Yan Jue had never imagined that one day she would be able to speak properly with Qi Xianqing in such a tranquil environment.

Yan Jue: “I saw a cultivation method a few days ago, but I can’t grasp the main points.”

Qi Xianqing might have been too tired, her voice slightly hoarse: “What method?”

Yan Jue pursed her lips: “Because I saw how powerful Senior Sister’s light body technique was when we were down the mountain, so… I went to the Scripture Repository and bought a light body technique manual to read, but I don’t quite understand it.”

Qi Xianqing was silent for a moment: “What part don’t you understand?”

Junior brothers and sisters often came to Qi Xianqing for advice, and Qi Xianqing would usually answer.

It was only after Qi Xianqing asked that she realized her professional habit had kicked in again.

“I just don’t understand, what does ‘If you wish to cultivate externally, you must first cultivate the body’ mean.”

Qi Xianqing: “To practice light body technique, you must first practice internal cultivation. For deep internal cultivation, you must first strengthen the body.”

Yan Jue was stunned: “It’s… that simple?”

Qi Xianqing hummed and didn’t speak.

The meaning was actually… that to learn light body technique, one must practice internal cultivation?

Yan Jue felt like crying without tears. The thought of needing to go to the Scripture Repository to get a few books on internal cultivation gave her a headache.

After all, these cultivation methods are different from language arts, math, and English. They can’t be solved just by flipping through books and doing practice problems.

One cultivation method will inevitably involve many other things, and those things are often not written in the books.

Yan Jue felt that having someone guide her in cultivation was too important.

For example, the thing she couldn’t figure out after flipping through books for a long time yesterday, Qi Xianqing pointed out with a single sentence.

Another example was the Ice Conjuring Technique, which she had practiced for a long time without finding the key. With a little guidance from Qi Xianqing, she greatly enhanced its power.

Wait.

Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue slightly widened her eyes and instinctively looked towards Qi Xianqing.

The person standing in front of her right now wasn’t a master of light body technique?

Qi Xianqing had promised her one request back in Nanxing Town…

Yan Jue: “Senior Sister.”

Qi Xianqing slightly raised an eyebrow: “What is it?”

Yan Jue: “Senior Sister once promised me a request in Nanxing Town. I wonder if you still remember.”

Qi Xianqing: “Yes, I naturally remember the request Junior Sister Yan mentioned.”

A righteous cultivator acts openly and honestly. Since she had promised, Qi Xianqing naturally wouldn’t go back on her word.

Yan Jue: “Senior Sister’s light body technique is excellent. I want Senior Sister to teach me light body technique.”

After the words fell, the surroundings were plunged into a dead silence.

Yan Jue looked up, timidly gazing at Qi Xianqing. Qi Xianqing raised her hand to smooth her hair, instinctively wanting to refuse: “There are slight differences in what is learned between different sects. I am a disciple of the Shock Fire Sect, and according to the rules, I cannot teach martial arts to a Water Cloud Sect disciple.”

Normally, inner disciples of different sects would give large group lessons to outer disciples, but that was different. Group lessons usually involved theoretical knowledge. When it came to martial arts, it involved the more complicated issue of unauthorized learning.

Yan Jue frowned: “So, no?”

Qi Xianqing: “No. Choose another one.”

Yan Jue didn’t know what else she could ask Qi Xianqing to do besides this.

Qi Xianqing was such an outstanding Senior Sister, how could Yan Jue give up such a good opportunity?

Yan Jue gritted her teeth and simply took the plunge: “But Senior Sister said you would grant me anything.”

Qi Xianqing’s hands, hanging by her sides, instinctively clenched slightly. She glanced sideways.

The girl’s hair was a little messy from the wind, her snow-white cheeks were faintly flushed with red, and her expression was one of playful demanding, a bit unreasonable.

Qi Xianqing tapped her tongue against her teeth, hinting, “Can’t you choose a different request?”

Yan Jue: “I only want this one.”

Yan Jue could clearly have made other requests.

For example, using this request to make her break off relations with Chu Fu, whom she was infatuated with.

Or something even more excessive.

In fact, Qi Xianqing regretted giving Yan Jue that request that day.

But Qi Xianqing had truly not expected Yan Jue to use such a rare request for this matter.

A trace of an almost imperceptible smile flashed in Qi Xianqing’s eyes. She stood up: “Come here tomorrow at the Mao hour (5-7 AM). If you meet one condition of mine, I will teach you.”!
