Chapter 42: Taught Wrong?

TL: Still busy with life events, so 2 chapters per week for now. Will return to normal release soon.

Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

The sky had already brightened. The sound of people walking and doing things in the palace could be vaguely heard. It was like building a hut in the mortal world, but this hut was an immortal land by itself.

He successfully took the first step in immortal cultivation.

Although it was just the most basic trace of aura, he knew that he would be different from then on.

With a wave of his hand, the wine gourd with the floating talisman on it flew over as if it was tied by a rope. When he used true qi to control it, he could barely exert its effect. It was floating shakily; but using “spiritual force”, it was not only floating, but it was also like a lightning shot.

“Controlling things is the most typical feature of spiritual force.” Liu Su’s voice came leisurely, “Until you reach a certain level, your spiritual force itself has no power to hurt people. Its purpose is to control things; items, weapons, five elements, wind and rain, and thunder. Its effect on oneself is just ordinary. This is the biggest difference from your true qi. Don’t mistake that both are similar.”

Sure enough, Liu Su knew that he would think the two were similar at first. Qin Yi grinned, “I still know the difference between a warrior and a mage.”

“Warrior and mage…” Liu Su pondered the descriptions twice, but it also understood. It said slowly, “It’s like this on the outside, but you have to realize one thing… The root of cultivating to be an immortal is longevity. No matter how you act on the surface, it is just a means to protect yourself for longevity. In other words, your martial art is also a means. Whether it is true qi or stick skills, they are both useful.”

Qin Yi was stunned, That was why you also taught me martial arts before? I thought it was for a transitional use. According to your words, I can keep learning?”

“It’s a suggestion that you have to keep practicing the martial arts route. Strengthening the physique and combat methods is also a cultivation system. Otherwise, all you see in Immortal Track Mountain should be enchanted weapons. Why would there be a mace?”

“That’s great. Since I’m carrying you, I should pursue the way of martial arts.”

“What do you mean by carrying me!”

“Ugh… Okay, I enshrine you.”

“Hmph. Anyway, the martial arts system is not enough in terms of longevity, but its combat power is extremely strong. If you cultivate both, you can have both benefits.” Liu Su continued, “Ming He only cultivates immortal spells. The typical one only focuses on the spiritual force instead of the physical body. She may be able to summon wind and rain, but she is holding a sword like doing embroidery. Of course, it is not impossible. When she cultivates to the extreme level, she will still be invincible. However, in my opinion, it is too one-sided. Once her spiritual force is lost, even the aunty who sells vegetables on the street can beat her up.”

“…” The visual impact is so strong. I’m afraid you are the one who wants to do that right?

“Of course, human energy is limited. The way of cultivation is so vast and profound. Even if one devotes his entire life, he may not achieve something. Ordinary people really don’t have the energy to cultivate both, so they have to choose. But you are different…” Liu Su paused, “You were born with this talent. If you don’t even dare to practice dual cultivation, no one can.”

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then he suddenly said, “Liu Su…”

“Ugh? Huh??” Liu Su was taken aback. This is the first time Qin Yi calls my name!

Qin Yi stood up and kowtowed to it, “Even if someone kneels 3 times and kowtows 9 times to get a master, there may not be many masters who can teach are not many who can teach as earnestly as you. Although Qin Yi is muddled, I too have a conscience. Today, I vow that I will do my utmost to rebuild your body.”

Liu Su didn’t answer. After a long time, it said quietly, “You want to use these words to stop my thoughts of stealing your body?”

Qin Yi smack his tongue and said, “Okay, don’t be so proud.”

“…”

“If we can rebuild your body, why should you still salivate over my body…”

“Who salivates over your body!”

Qin Yi laughed out loud, then he changed the topic and said, “If one day… a person like me can’t adapt to this world with mighty power. Maybe I can’t even get out of the South Li Kingdom… If that happens, just take this body with you.”

Liu Su didn’t say anything.

Qin Yi walked to the door and looked in the direction of Li Qinglin’s residence not far away. It was almost noon now, which meant he had been meditating for 8 hours, but it seemed to be just a moment.

Time flies. The matter in South Li Kingdom and the moment of parting away is just a blink of an eye. I wonder how Li Qinglin is preparing?

It was Li Qinglin who really did not believe in mighty power.

Or he knew that it existed, but he didn’t want to believe it.

Qin Yi, who owned Liu Su, sometimes sympathizes with him. It’s like watching Don Quixote sprinting toward the windmill.

In a trance, I also understand the overlooking feeling of Liu Su and Ming He, which is really like seeing the distance between different species.

Ming He definitely won’t communicate so much with an ordinary mortal, not because she is arrogant, but because there is nothing to be talked. Why would she communicate with me? It is simply because I’m a “cultivator”. No matter my cultivation is high or not and what is my identity, there is no such big difference in dimension.

But in fact, in Qin Yi’s heart, he faintly agreed with Li Qinglin more. The premise was that what he said when cooking the wine that night was sincere, not of selfish desire.

Because I’m a mortal after all, not an immortal yet.

I just don’t know if I will be like Ming He and Liu Su when I really cultivate to be an immortal.

Maybe I will.

“Qin Yi! Qin Yi!” Li Qingjun ran over while lifting her skirt. Her long hair was fluttering. Her expression was full of joy at seeing her sweetheart, “Are you up? I thought you were talking with brother until late night.”

Qin Yi opened his arms, waiting for her to rush in.

To be honest, seeing Li Qingjun really made him feel happy immediately. His originally depressed and contemplative state of mind disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Qingjun stopped in front of him, tilted her head, and said, “Tell me, what kind of dirty things did you 2 plot last night?”

“It’s just drugging you.” Qin Yi smiled, “We even have a plan on how to publicize it all over the city, so that everyone in the South Li Kingdom knows that Princess Zhao Yang belongs to Qin Yi. The barbarians of the West Savage Kingdom should stay away.”

Li Qingjun still tilted her head without blinking her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Yi scratched his head in wonder. You wouldn’t take such an obvious joke seriously…

Li Qingjun said, “Did you use any medicine for beauty and skin care last night?”

“Ha?”

“It’s just one night, and you look more handsome. You are standing still, but you seem to be riding the wind.”

“That’s not very good.” Qin Yi finally knew what was going on. Immortal cultivation, not to mention whether it will improve my skin condition, even my temperament will change. My current self must be a little more immortal than yesterday.

Li Qingjun hesitated for a while, “Qin Yi, don’t suddenly ride the wind and go away when cultivating.”

“How could I?” Qin Yi stretched out his arms to hug her, whispering in her ear, “Your father is cultivating too, but didn’t he give birth to you unparalleled beauty?”

“Bah!” Li Qingjun’s attention was diverted. She stepped on his shoe, “We aren’t the same at all. You only think about getting 3,000 beauties for yourself!”

Qin Yi jumped while hugging her, “I’m just making an analogy…”

Li Qingjun squinted at him with a hint of smile, “This kind of casual talk reveals your heart the most. Qin Yi, you are not as gentlemanly as you appear.”

Liu Su gave a ??.

Qin Yi was also quite surprised. Why are you, an ignorant girl, can be so meticulous in such a matter? Is the talent of a woman so terrifying? He didn’t try to refute this kind of statement. A man who never thinks of 3,000 beauties is a hypocrite, whether to do it or not is the key. It’s meaningless to argue.

So he hugged her back with a shy face, and he said with a low smile, “Of course, I’m not a gentleman. For example, I really want to bite the princess right now.”

Liu Su gave another ??.

Men’s growth in this aspect is astonishingly rapid. A few days ago, Qin Yi was quite innocent, but once he has a lover, tsk tsk, he has completely transformed.

Li Qingjun let him embrace her. She looked at him with a blushing face. This time she didn’t feel shy as last time. Instead, she quickly closed her eyes.

Qin Yi swallowed, bowed his head and kissed her.

When their lips met, an electric current burst out. Their heads became dizzy at the same time as if floating in the clouds. They couldn’t identify the directions, and their souls were completely intoxicated.

Liu Su leaned against the door frame and watched with great interest, but for some reason, it felt a little uncomfortable halfway through.

Maybe I’m like a private school teacher at the moment. Seeing the students below not paying attention to the class but making love to each other, of course I will be uncomfortable.

But after we are living in the world of mortals, he has to try it first. Besides, this is what I suggested Qin Yi to do, but now why do I feel that I taught it wrong…
