Hehe, it's so comfortable. No wonder Eldest Senior Brother liked to sit in this pavilion to rest. Tsk tsk, this was the real life.”You Hongyu sat up straight and stretched lazily. Then, he took a sip of the orange juice in his glass.
In the middle of the pavilion, there was a stone table. The table was filled with drinks and snacks.
The three junior sisters were obviously infected by Shen Ao's lazy lifestyle. In the past two days, no one was in the mood to cultivate. Whenever they had time, they would come here to freeload.
Little Junior Sister Meng Keke said in a muffled voice as she chewed on the sunflower seeds,""Eldest Senior Brother, do you still have the True Essence Pills you gave us last time? Why don't you give us a few more so that Third Senior Sister and I can break through to the HuaJin stage?”
Hearing Meng Keke's shameless words, Shen Ao rolled his eyes. The reason why Second Junior Sister could easily break through to the HuaJin stage through the True Energy Pill was because of her foundation. If he were to rely solely on True Energy Pills to help his junior sister break through to the HuaJin stage, he would need at least ten more. Even if Shen Ao had extra points, he wouldn't waste them like this. 200 points for one True Essence Pill didn't seem expensive, but if it was a set of ten pills, it wasn't that cheap.
"Come on, do you think the True Essence Pills that Eldest Senior Brother gave you are cabbages? If he wanted to break through to the HuaJin stage, he had to work hard and cultivate on his own. He couldn't be lazy.”Shen Ao knocked Meng Keke's head and lectured her. If not for the fact that the disciples of the Cyan Phoenix Palace were too weak, Shen Ao would not have been willing to spend so many points to exchange for pills. For example, Shen Ao did not provide the Body Tempering Pill and the Heaven Mending Pill for Zhi Hua and Jing Xiang.
On one hand, it was because the two women's cultivation was too weak. Zhi Hua was still alright, she was already at the dark jing stage. On the other hand, Shizuka had just started cultivating the Evergreen Scripture. Clearly, the two of them were not suitable to consume those two medicinal pills now. On the other hand, Shen Ao really couldn't bear to part with those points. No matter what, he had to leave some points for backup. After all, be it Zhi Hua or Jing Xiang, they were not considered combat talents. There was no need to rush to increase their strength now.
"Petty, I'll go play with big sister Shizuka.”Meng Keke curled her lips and walked out of the pavilion with her little bun.
These few days, the little girl had been sticking to Shizuka-sensei. On the one hand, it was because Jing Xiang was extremely gentle and doted on Meng Keke. On the other hand, she was the only one who had the time to play all kinds of games with the little girl.
In the small courtyard of Shen Ao's wooden house, there were all kinds of flowers and plants. These were all transplanted by Jing Xiang from all over the Cyan Phoenix Palace. Shizuka-sensei had a very good personality, and that was that she didn't need to pay attention to her. She could even entertain herself for half a day by fiddling with the plants in the yard.
"Husband, are you really not going to teach Shizuka martial arts?”Du Tu curled his body into Shen Ao's embrace and asked with narrowed eyes.
Shen Ao smiled mischievously and teased,""Yuuko, you should understand Shizuka-sensei's lazy personality. How could she be suitable for martial arts? Besides, Shizuka-sensei's body had a congenital defect and was not suitable for fighting and killing.”
"Flaws? No way. I feel that Shizuka's aptitude is very good.”
"Good aptitude is one thing, but…cough, for you women, this might be an advantage. But to a martial artist, this was a huge disadvantage.”Shen Ao answered seriously.
"Puchi ~~ Husband, you're really bad. If Shizuka knew that you were talking about her like that, she would definitely be heartbroken.”Du Tu rolled her eyes at Shen Ao.
"Anyway, Jing Xiang likes to play with those flowers and plants. I'll find some time to teach her some pill refining knowledge. I'm not afraid that this girl will panic when she's idle, right?”Actually, Shen Ao's real intention was to train Shizuka into an Alchemist. Pills like the True Essence Pill could actually be refined as long as there were enough herbs. If Shizuka could refine True Essence Pills, Shen Ao would not need to spend 200 points per pill in the future and waste the points that he had obtained with great difficulty.
"Senior Brother, didn't you say that Master would only be in seclusion for half a month? Now that a month had passed, why was his master still not out of seclusion?”Leng Bingling stood at a corner of the pavilion, holding a sword in her hand as she gestured in the air. She was obsessed with martial arts and always carried her sword with her. However, don't look at how cold she was usually. However, in front of Shen Ao, her senior brother, she was more obedient than anyone else. He looked at Shen Ao with admiration.
"Master is currently in seclusion to break through to the Xiantian stage. Breaking through to the Xiantian stage is not as easy as breaking through to the Huajin stage. I think she still needs some time to stabilize her realm.”Shen Ao looked at the calm lake and speculated.
At this moment, a graceful and elegant voice came from behind. Yun 'er, could it be that Master is already an old man in your eyes? This really makes me sad."
"Master?" Leng Bingling and You Hongyu turned their heads in pleasant surprise. As expected, Xiao Nishang, who was dressed in red, was holding an umbrella and strolling over.
The willow trees by the lakeside were continuous, and it was lush and full of vitality. Countless willow branches bent down and hung low. The breeze was gentle, and the willow catkins fluttered. The charming and graceful Xiao Nishang was like a flower fairy as she floated into the pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Nishang step into the pavilion, Du Tu, who was at the side, was no longer as lazy and calm as before. On the contrary, she seemed a little nervous at this moment. After all, this great beauty was her husband's master.
Obviously, in the face of Du Tu's beautiful face, Xiao Nishang could not ignore her. After smiling at Du Tu, Xiao Nishang asked in a friendly manner,""Hello, young lady. I'm this brat's master."
"Hey, Master. Come, let me introduce you. This is your disciple's wife, Du Tu.”
"Master…Master Xiao, hello, I'm Poison Island's Slayer.”Du Tu stood up respectfully and said nervously.
"Alright, sit down. Since you're Yun 'er's wife, you're naturally a part of my Qingluan Palace. There was no need to be so polite. However, your name is quite strange.”Nishang Xiao sized up Du Tu and was surprised to find that this beautiful woman's cultivation was not lower than hers. His face lit up with joy. After all, his disciple was able to find a woman with such an extraordinary cultivation base as his partner. It could be considered his ability. Which master would despise his disciple's ability?
However, although she was overjoyed in her heart, Xiao Nishang put on a dignified expression and scolded,"You little brat, I haven't seen you for a few days and I didn't expect you to bring back such a beautiful girl.”
"Hehe, Master, you've successfully broken through to the Xiantian stage?”Of course, Shen Ao was not stupid enough to dwell on this issue. He quickly changed the topic.
Nishang Xiao glared at Shen Ao with a reproachful and doting look, then nodded gently and said,""Yes, I've finally broken through to the Xiantian stage. Speaking of which, I still have to thank my disciple for your Nine Yin Scripture and that thousand-year-old ginseng.”
"Eh, what is this transparent cup?”At this moment, Nishang Xiao finally noticed the snacks and drinks on the stone table, as well as the crystal goblet. Nishang Xiao had obviously never seen these special products from Earth.
Seeing that Xiao Nishang was curious, You Hongyu immediately introduced her with a smile,"Master, this is a goblet for drinking. This was red wine. And this was orange juice. Try it. It tastes good. These were all brought back to the sect by Eldest Brother.”
Hearing You Hongyu's introduction, Xiao Nishang turned her gaze to Shen Ao.
Shen Ao blushed and said casually,""Uh, these are all specialties from my hometown. I still have quite a lot of them. I've specially prepared them to show my respect to Master.”
"That's more like it. Master didn't pity you in vain.”Xiao Nishang nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask,"During the past few days when I was in seclusion, did the few of you cultivate diligently?”
"Master, I am now at the ninth level of the Ming Jin stage.”You Hongyu hurriedly raised her hand to take credit.
"Eh, Bing 'er, you've broken through to the HuaJin stage?”Xiao Nishang directly ignored You Hongyu who was taking credit for herself as she looked at Leng Bingling in astonishment.
Leng Bingling's face was slightly red. She nodded her head in embarrassment and stuttered,""It's all…it's all Eldest Senior Brother's credit.”This Second Junior Sister was not lying. According to her original cultivation, it would take at least half a year to break through to the HuaJin stage. Thanks to the True Essence Pill, she was able to break through to the HuaJin stage in a short period of time. Leng Bingling could not be as thick-skinned as You Hongyu, so she pushed all the credit to Shen Ao.
"Hmm, not bad. Yun 'er is indeed my eldest disciple. Tsk tsk, Yun 'er, you're already at the fourth level of the HuaJin stage, right?”Xiao Nishang looked at Shen Ao with joy. As for why her three disciples had improved so quickly in such a short period of time, she did not care at all. After all, his eldest disciple had used only a month to break through from the third level of the internal strength stage to the neutral strength stage.
After returning from the dungeon world, Shen Ao spent ten days to successfully break through to the fourth level of the HuaJin stage. At first glance, it sounded unbelievable. However, it was not sudden for Shen Ao's cultivation to increase so quickly. After all, Shen Ao's body had been improved by the Body Tempering Pill and the Heaven Mending Pill, and his martial arts aptitude was already considered top-notch in this world. In addition, the martial arts environment in this world was extraordinary, and Shen Ao had cultivated a peerless technique like the Northern Dark Divine Art. It would be really strange if his advancement was slow.
"Master, I have indeed reached the fourth level of the HuaJin stage.”Shen Ao did not hide his cultivation. In the future, his cultivation would only increase even faster. He could hide it for a while, but he could not hide it forever.
Hearing Shen Ao's affirmative reply, Nishang Xiao's beautiful eyebrows jumped, revealing a gentle and beautiful expression. Her phoenix-like eyes were lively and bright, and there was a dignified and intelligent look in her delicate beauty.
Shen Ao subconsciously sized up his beautiful master. With a quick glance, he realized that Nishang Xiao's beauty was not inferior to Du Tu's. In fact, her temperament was even stronger than Du Tu's.
Tsk tsk! It turned out that this cheap master of his was the true beauty of an older sister.
"Yes, very good. Yun 'er, come with me. Let me test your current strength.”As she spoke, Nishang Xiao's hair was tied up as she stood up.
Shen Ao quickly followed his master. The two of them stepped on the light waves of the lake and jumped to a bamboo forest nearby.
"Yun 'er, you've been in a coma all these years. Even if he obtained the inheritance of a senior expert, his martial arts would probably be abandoned and he would have to start from scratch!”Nishang Xiao carried a silver longsword and walked lightly with a cold expression.
Shen Ao's heart stirred. He suppressed the waves in his heart and shook his head with a bitter smile. This beautiful master had already broken through to the Xiantian stage at such a young age. Her aptitude was indeed extraordinary. However, with just this kind of strength, it was probably still a little lacking to teach him, right? One had to know that when using the Heavenly Lock Moon Slash, Shen Ao's true combat strength was comparable to the first stage of the Shadow Stepping Realm.
"Master thought about it. You can't rush those overly complicated moves. It's better to start from the beginning. Let's practice the Horse Stance first, and then practice the sword art after we have a solid foundation. Although it was a little late, it was still better than not knowing any martial arts moves!”Nishang Xiao raised her hand and brushed past her ear, picking up a strand of her hair.
Shen Ao was shocked by the horse stance. He immediately refused! Although this cheap master had a beautiful appearance, in terms of strength, he was stronger than her.
"Why? Are you slacking off?" Xiao Nishang frowned and glared at him.
