Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 106 - 96: Master’s Wife

Chapter 106: Chapter 96: Master’s Wife

“Um!”

Liu Suiyun meekly and submissively followed closely behind Shen Yaqin. A group of junior cultivators could only cast envious and resentful murderous glances at Liu Suiyun. On the contrary, Mrs. Shan was very enthusiastic. “Aunt Shi Shen Yaqin, no matter how late it is, I will always reserve a pair of chopsticks for this child. Do you want to have a sip of soy milk before leaving? It was just ground not long ago, original and pure.”

“Thank you, Yuehua!” Shen Yaqin walked out gracefully. Liu Suiyun carefully followed. Just as he stepped out of the room, Shen Yaqin grabbed his collar. In an instant, everything was spinning. When Liu Suiyun came to his senses, Shen Yaqin and he were already standing on a flying sword, and there was only a scabbard left for the fairy sword at her waist.

Liu Suiyun smiled and quickly stood still. Letting the cold wind blow in his face, he didn’t dare to move a step for fear of accidentally falling off the flying sword. Although Shen Yaqin was standing in front of him, it seemed as if there were a pair of eyes on her back. She said gently, “Good boy! Don’t be afraid. It’s not dark yet. This is your first time flying with a sword. Take a good look!”

Although she looked no more than thirty years old, cultivators ignored the ravages of time. Once they reached the Golden Elixir stage, they would have a lifespan of four hundred and eighty years. Liu Suiyun didn’t know Shen Yaqin’s real age. Although Shen Yaqin called him a “good boy,” he was not angry but rather happy. “Um!”

He looked ahead and saw white clouds brushing past him. Sometimes the fairy clouds were within reach. The sunlight became so brilliant, scattering countless golden rays. As for the peaks and pavilions on the ground, they seemed like carvings in a bonsai, passing by in a flash. He was really flying with a sword!

Liu Suiyun almost cheered. The earth was really under his feet. But he still stood carefully. His breathing unconsciously became rapid. Shen Yaqin knew his mood. “It’s okay. With me here, even if you fall, I can catch you.”

“Um!” Liu Suiyun excitedly roared, “La la la…”

Only then did he discover that somehow Shen Yaqin had used a method. Although he had some room to move on the sword body, there was a limit. No matter in front, behind, left, or right, as long as he exceeded this limit, he would be pushed out by a gentle force.

“Feeling good, right?” Seeing that Liu Suiyun had adjusted his mood, Shen Yaqin said, “Do you know why I chose you among a group of Qi Condensation cultivators today?”

“Senior Shen must have seen that I am strong and easy to command!” Liu Suiyun looked at Shen Yaqin’s shoulders as if carved under the crimson glow of the clear sky and could only guess. “Don’t worry, Senior Shen. I am always quick and efficient.”

“Hahaha…” Shen Yaqin let out a silvery laugh. “You are strong? Do you want to have an arm-wrestling match with me and see who is stronger? I allow you to use that borrowed talisman seed in your body.”

As True Lord Beihe had said, this Five Peaks Talisman was indeed called a “talisman seed.” But even if Liu Suiyun had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to have an arm-wrestling match with Shen Yaqin. After all, she was a Golden Elixir cultivator. Maybe a finger of hers could overwhelm Liu Suiyun.

But Liu Suiyun was a bit confused. “Then this junior doesn’t know. I beg Senior Shen to instruct me!”

Shen Yaqin smiled faintly again. The golden brocade clothes fluttered in the white clouds and golden glow. “You still call me senior?”

There wasn’t much majesty in her words, but Liu Suiyun felt as if he had made a huge mistake. He immediately understood and directly knelt down behind Shen Yaqin. “Disciple greets Master’s wife! Please enlighten disciple. Could it be because disciple won first place in this minor competition? Please enlighten disciple.”

Shen Yaqin’s starry eyes looked into the distance. Without moving a finger, the flying sword broke through the sea of clouds and flew towards the sky. Shen Yaqin among the clouds still had the grace of a true immortal. She didn’t turn back. At this moment, Liu Suiyun was afraid that Shen Yaqin would turn around and smile. Because this was really the most beautiful silhouette he had ever seen.

“You are quite intelligent as a disciple. This time I chose you to be the heir disciple of Nan Hua. First, although you won without a fight by borrowing this talisman seed, you still have some strength. Moreover, you are quick and efficient. You must be capable in handling affairs…”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Suiyun’s face. Shen Yaqin continued, “Second, it’s because you are serious in handling affairs and never sloppy. There have been five consecutive introductory competitions in our sect. Because the results don’t carry over to the major competition, it gets worse and worse with each session, and more and more people are just filling the numbers. This year, the sect definitely wants Nan Hua to take in a disciple…”

Liu Suiyun felt that the flying sword was flying higher and higher, but he didn’t dare to look up and stand up. He continued to listen to Shen Yaqin’s gentle voice. “But Nan Hua likes tranquility and dislikes activity. Probably there won’t be much time to teach disciples. So we must find a disciple who is worry-free for the master and mistress. Although your cultivation is miscellaneous, you can still go all out in such a minor competition and win first place. Presumably, you will be serious in everything. Fear nothing but being serious in everything… Such a disciple is worry-free for the master and mistress and also for yourself!”

Hearing this, Liu Suiyun felt as if his heart was filled with honey. “Disciple thanks Master’s wife for her appreciation. Disciple thanks Master’s wife for her appreciation!”

But finally Shen Yaqin tapped the scabbard with her finger. She nodded slightly and said, “But the most important reason is that your master likes tranquility and dislikes activity. Although you have become a disciple under Nan Hua, you don’t have much chance to be personally instructed by Nan Hua. Most likely, I will teach on behalf of the master. Since I will teach the disciple…”

Liu Suiyun originally thought that Shen Yaqin would say that he had extraordinary aptitude and the like, but unexpectedly, Shen Yaqin let out a soft laugh. “Then naturally I have to find the most pleasing one. So I chose you. You are the most handsome!”

Now even Liu Suiyun laughed. He didn’t expect that his handsome face could bring such benefits. It seems that the saying “Commander Xing, first in appearance” is not in vain. That old brother wasn’t just making fun of him when he said this proverb. “Disciple thanks Master’s wife for her appreciation. Disciple thanks Master’s wife for her appreciation!”

Shen Yaqin still didn’t turn back. “Get up!”

Liu Suiyun’s voice was loud and powerful. “Yes, Master’s wife!”

Still, the crimson glow scattered countless golden rays. The high altitude at sunset was still so beautiful. But Shen Yaqin told Liu Suiyun, “Later, I will take you to meet the stewards and servants in the mansion, as well as your several senior brothers. By the way, let me tell you…”

Shen Yaqin always had the temperament of a true immortal. “Although you have become a disciple under Nan Hua, you may not necessarily reach the Golden Elixir stage. If you don’t be brave and diligent and strive hard, your life’s achievements will be limited to the Foundation Establishment stage. This also has something to do with your master and mistress…”

“Your master likes tranquility and dislikes activity. In recent years, he is at a critical moment of condensing the Nascent Soul. Naturally, he doesn’t want to be disturbed because of your affairs. So although you have become a disciple under Nan Hua, you don’t have many opportunities to be personally instructed by your master.”

“So most likely it will fall on me to teach the disciple. But my habits are similar to your master’s. I have always been lazy in my studies and don’t want to get involved in too many disputes. So don’t expect me to teach you carefully every day. Within a month, I will only give lectures and impart knowledge three or five times…”

“And most of these three or five lectures will be when you listen to my teachings together with your senior brothers. The chances for you to get my personal answers and corrections are only once or twice a month. Of course, becoming a disciple under Nan Hua naturally has many benefits. I have never treated my disciples unfairly. Just by carefully going through the Sutra Pavilion, Alchemy Pavilion, and Artifact Refining Hall once, you will have a great chance to establish the foundation. But if you don’t make efforts, your life’s achievements will be limited to this!”

Shen Yaqin explained the reasons clearly to Liu Suiyun from the beginning. As a result, Liu Suiyun not only had no complaints but was also full of gratitude. “Master’s wife is truly a great benefactor to disciple. Disciple is extremely grateful.”

Where can one find such an opportunity to be taught by a Golden Elixir cultivator three or five times a month and even get personal Solve doubts and corrections from Shen Yaqin? Liu Suiyun could already see that although his unseen master was already on the way to condensing the Nascent Soul and even had the hope of achieving the Primordial Spirit, his master’s wife was definitely not ordinary.

Although he didn’t know how many years Shen Yaqin had been a Golden Elixir cultivator or her specific cultivation realm, Liu Suiyun’s intuition told him that Shen Yaqin was definitely not an ordinary Golden Elixir cultivator. Her demeanor in every move was much better than that of ordinary Golden Elixir cultivators.

Liu Suiyun had another clear evidence, that is, Shen Yaqin’s aura was almost as strong as that of his pair of lolis. Compared to ordinary Golden Elixir cultivators, his pair of lolis were have no idea how much stronger.

Of course, just becoming a disciple under Chu Nan Hua was also a great kindness. Although the cultivation resources of the Shenxiao Sect couldn’t be said to be countless, once one entered the Shenxiao Sect, one would have no ideabe much stronger than a casual cultivator. Not to mention that Liu Suiyun also had the title of a personal disciple of Chu Nan Hua. His status was different from ordinary people. After carefully going through the Sutra Pavilion, Artifact Refining Hall, and Alchemy Pavilion dozens of times, even with the most ordinary aptitude, one would have a chance to establish the foundation.

“Master’s wife is truly a great benefactor to disciple. If there is anything disciple can do for you in the future, just give an order. Disciple has no other strengths. I still have some strength. I am quick and efficient. I am capable in handling affairs. No matter what big or small matters, as long as Master’s wife gives an order, disciple will definitely handle it wholeheartedly!”

“Very good, very good!” Shen Yaqin was very satisfied with this disciple. “We are almost there. Be careful! With your cultivation, I don’t need you to handle any big matters for the time being. I just hope that listening to my lectures is pleasing to the eye.”

Just as she was speaking, Liu Suiyun only felt that everything in front of him became dark. The sky was almost completely dark. Then he flew out. But he was not flustered. Sure enough, after a moment, his collar was grabbed by a slender hand. “We are here. Later, you will meet your several senior brothers!”

After a dizzying turn, Liu Suiyun finally found that there was a cliff in front of him. Shen Yaqin was holding him and directly heading towards the cliff. Just as they were about to hit the cliff, the scenery suddenly changed. In a sea of fairy mountains and clouds, there were countless exquisitely crafted pavilions. Shen Yaqin landed with Liu Suiyun’s collar in her hand. “You did well. This is Chonghua Peak!”
