“Yes, experience the world. All Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect disciples must go experience the world once they reach the Spirit Core Realm. They will travel the 13 provinces while killing all evil doers and leaving their lives to fate. Only after experiencing hardship can you actually grow. There is no use in keeping you in the sect forever like a house plant. Also, if any accident occurs, you will die, and don’t expect someone to save you like before.” After Fu Hongling finished speaking, she meaningfully looked at Zhao Jiuge.
Her expression became serious as she continued, “Don’t think that you will have it easy because you are the Head Teacher’s disciple now. On the contrary, you will have to bear even more pressure because you are not allowed to be mediocre!”
Zhao Jiuge thoughtfully nodded. For some unknown reason, Zhao Jiuge suddenly thought about Su Su and Bai Qingqing.
Although he felt pressure, it was the path he had chosen. Wasn’t he eager to quickly grow stronger?
He threw aside all the distractions in his mind and looked into the distance. He thought, “Come, let everyone come even more violently than before. Let them witness my growth.”
Zhao Jiuge believed in himself. When he first stepped onto the path of cultivation, he didn’t expect to reach this point in three years. He believed that in another three years, he would reach a new height.
“Let’s go back to Lotus Peak. Every morning, you will cultivate. At night, I’ll impart cultivation knowledge to you.” Fu Hongling saw that Zhao Jiuge had listened to her words, so she didn’t waste time saying more.
She waved her sleeve and a flash of red light flew by. The Heavenly Phoenix Sword flew through the clouds.
Lotus Peak.
As soon as they returned, Zhao Jiuge carefreely ran through the grass barefooted. At this moment, he didn’t have to worry about the shackles that were binding him or the pressure to become stronger. He could just smile like a simple youth.
During the last three years, in order to pursue strength, he had lived a very tedious life, but he never complained. He had to pay a price in order to gain something. During his journeys, he saw many powerful cultivators. This made Zhao Jiuge even more determined to get stronger and one day become like them.
Fu Hongling was also barefooted, and she sat down on the grass. She quietly watched Zhao Jiuge, who was smiling like a child.
She didn’t say anything and just quietly watched. Zhao Jiuge finally seemed tired and sat down next to Fu Hongling. His eyes were filled with admiration. “Senior Sister, when can my Nine Song Peak be as beautiful as your peak? The environment is so beautiful.”
White clouds with spirit cranes occasionally flew by. The herb field exuded a faint smell, and all kinds of strange flowers and grass swayed in the wind. The air was filled with dense spirit force, and everything looked like a landscape painting. Zhao Jiuge admired the scenery greatly.
Fu Hongling gently said, “Once you go back in a month, you will naturally know. Tomorrow, your third senior brother will help you clean up. You just have to focus on studying with me for this month, nothing can be done overnight. At the start, my Lotus Peak was about the same as your Nine Song Peak. It took time to slowly cultivate it until it looked like this. Just like your cultivation, you must accumulate little by little. It’s impossible for your strength to rapidly increase overnight.”
Hearing Fu Hongling change the subject to cultivation again, Zhao Jiuge felt a headache. He had just become an inner disciple and wanted to relax today. However, Fu Hongling would always change the subject to cultivation and take the opportunity to teach him.
Looking at Zhao Jiuge’s helpless and dejected expression, Fu Hongling sighed in her heart. She didn’t want to do this, but with Ceng Qingniu gone and Sha Sha being a little girl, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect needed someone from the new generation to take their places. Otherwise, she wouldn’t put in so much effort to teach Zhao Jiuge. They were really running out of time.
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge no longer wanted to talk about this matter, Fu Hongling gave up for now. She thought that she would wait until evening to begin teaching him.
Zhao Jiuge was startled when he saw Fu Hongling sit down. He had never seen her look so alluring before. He guessed that he was the only one who got to see this side of her.
Fu Hongling noticed Zhao Jiuge’s burning gaze and frowned slightly. She was used to others staring at her like this, but being stared at like this by her little junior brother made her a bit uncomfortable.
Zhao Jiuge was 18 years old and was no longer a child that knew nothing. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Am I nice to look at?” Fu Hongling suddenly asked in a cold tone. Her brow was raised and she had a smile that wasn’t a smile.
“Very nice to look at.” Zhao Jiuge blurred out without thinking. He only realized after he spoke, but it was too late.
He nervously looked at Fu Hongling. When he saw that she wasn’t angry he relaxed a bit. However, Fu Hongling’s following words caused him to tense up.
“If I’m nice to look at, then come closer.” Fu Hongling smiled, and this startled Zhao Jiuge.
Then he quickly shook his head and shouted, “I’m not going to look anymore! I’m not going to look anymore!”
Looking at Zhao Jiuge’s fearful and embarrassed look, Fu Hongling smiled even brighter and said, “A little kid is still a little kid. You have the urge but don’t have the courage, and you still want to chase that girl from the Hundred Flower Valley?”
Only before her little junior brother would she tease someone like this. If it was someone, else she wouldn’t even say a word.
This scene was similar to when Bai Qingqing asked him the same question. The only difference was that Bai Qingqing would then pull his ear.
Zhao Jiuge felt a bit of anger from embarrassment after being teased by his senior sister. He quickly calmed himself and curiously asked, “Senior Sister, you are so beautiful. How come you never found a dao partner?”
Fu Hongling was a bit startled by Zhao Jiuge’s question. Her breathing became a bit chaotic, which made Zhao Jiuge think she had become angry from embarrassment and was going to teach him a lesson. However, Fu Hongling’s expression suddenly changed into a smile. “A little brat like you is trying to play tricks on me. You’re still too tender to tease your senior sister. I’m really worried for you—how are you going to chase after girls like this?”
Zhao Jiuge opened this mouth to rebut her when Fu Hongling suddenly stood up and said, “It’s not that your senior sister doesn’t want to find someone. But who is worthy of your senior sister?”
After she finished speaking, she sternly said, “It’s time to cultivate. In one month, you will go through Teacher’s terrifying training. You better quickly condense your spirit core.” Then she walked into the small cultivation room.
Zhao Jiuge was still stunned while he watched Fu Hongling leave.
Was this still his cool and gentle senior sister? To even say such things. There were still things he wanted to say, but she had directly cut him off and told him to train.
However, hearing Fu Hongling’s final words, to form his spirit core, Zhao Jiuge became a little more serious.
Playing around was playing around, and cultivation was cultivation. There were still many things he had to do in the future, and all of them required him to have strength.
Zhao Jiuge suddenly smiled and thought, “However, having a senior sister like this is very nice.”
“Yes, experience the world. All Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect disciples must go experience the world once they reach the Spirit Core Realm.
