My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 26

The Hengduan Mountains range is located in the southwest direction of the North Chu Country, or it can be said that it borders the southwest of North Chu Country. After all, it’s not certain which is bigger between Hengduan Mountains range and North Chu Country when comparing them.

Judging only from the name "Hengduan Mountains", it feels ordinary and mundane, just a common mountain range in the mortal world. But if you mention its other name, then the status suddenly arises.

The Hengduan Mountains range, also known as the Land of Immortal Legacy, is one of the two forbidden areas of North Chu Country.

Compared to the other forbidden area of North Chu Country, the Yunmeng Marsh located in the north of North Chu Country, the Hengduan Mountains range seems much simpler, with danger mainly coming from demonic beasts.

Yunmeng Marsh is a weird and eccentric land of miracles, while the Hengduan Mountains is a paradise for demonic beasts.

The location of the Dao Sword Sect is in the middle of the Hengduan Mountains range. More accurately, it is on the outermost north side of the Hengduan Mountains range, at the border between North Chu Country and Hengduan Mountains range.

Building the sect in this place was not a coincidence. Generally speaking, the cultivation emphasizes a suitable location and resources. This place in the Hengduan Mountains has sparse population, abundant spiritual energy, rich resources, which solves the problems of location and resources. It is really a blessed land for cultivation.

Although demonic beasts are dangerous, they also mean resources.

Let alone the far ones, just the Dark Inferno Tiger cub that Qin Ran picked up, as long as it can be successfully nurtured into a spirit beast, it will become an invaluable resource when grown up.

Resources and dangers always coexist.

"Deep inside the Hengduan Mountains range, there are anomalies?" Qin Ran stood under the eaves, watching Huang Feiyu go away. His eyes flickered uncertainly. "What kind of anomalies could make demon kings like the Dark Inferno Tiger run to the outskirts of the mountain range?"

Although Huang Feiyu's seniority is one generation lower than Qin Ran, his age and cultivation are higher than Qin Ran’s. His cultivation is at least at the early Golden Core stage.

And for someone with his personality, he must have more information than Qin Ran, although...Qin Ran is the chief elder of Danfeng, with quite a high status in Dao Sword Sect. He must know some information that Qin Ran doesn't know.

"Maybe it's time to form the core," Qin Ran thought to himself.

When he was six years old, his master Gu Zhengyi took him to Danfeng and helped him build his foundation at the most suitable age. He then spent many years refining his foundation. He dared to say that in the entire cultivation world, only a few could surpass him during the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was planning to refine himself for a few more years, perfecting the qi spiral in his body, making all preparations to have at least a 99% chance of successfully overcoming the tribulation, before forming the core.

But now, it seems he can't wait any longer.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Li Shiyin's voice came over.

Qin Ran retracted his gaze and looked at Li Shiyin. It was because of this silly girl that all his plans were disrupted...nove(l)bi(n.)com

Wait!

"What's going on with your qi spiral?" He suddenly became serious, his empty eyes asking as a man with spiritual sense, he could see at a glance that Li Shiyin's qi spiral was no longer pure, and had starry speckles.

Because of the morning's study on death, Qin Ran's momentum was particularly frightening at this moment. Li Shiyin scratched the back of her head and turned her head aside.

"Didn't I tell you not to practice randomly?" Qin Ran looked a bit fierce. "Why don't you listen again?"

"I didn't practice either..." Li Shiyin mumbled, "I was looking at the exercises, and as I read, the qi in my body started circulating automatically. It was the qi spiral cultivating itself, it had nothing to do with me."

"The qi spiral rotated by itself? Do you take me for a fool?!" A surge of tyranny rose in Qin Ran's heart. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Shiyin, with transparent magic power lingering around his fingertips.

But just as the technique was about to come out, he stopped in time, realizing he was affected by death, and quickly withdrew his hand.

He was silent for a moment before saying, "The Nine Revolutions Stellar Sword Art can draw the power of the stars to temper sword qi and physique. Do you know when is the most suitable time to cultivate the power of the stars? At night!"

"Although the stars are still in the sky during the day, at this time the power of the stars is suppressed by the power of the sun. The power of the stars drawn is less and messy, far from meeting the criteria for converting the qi spiral!"

He took a deep breath and stared at Li Shiyin. "If there is a next time..."

Li Shiyin didn't know what was wrong with Master today, but she could clearly feel that the Master today was different from before, very frightening.

Moreover, when the qi spiral rotated, she knew very well that she was not unaware...

She secretly looked at the master, and suddenly saw the angry father. For the first time, she realized this was the master. She lowered her head and hurriedly said, "I...I was wrong."

Qin Ran stared fiercely at Li Shiyin for quite some time before finally walking over.

He raised his hand and pointed at Li Shiyin's qi sea acupoint, guiding his magic power over, straight into Li Shiyin's dantian, completely wrapping her qi spiral, then extracting all the power of the stars from her qi spiral like refining medicine materials.

This was the first time Li Shiyin saw Qin Ran get angry, and it was also the first time she witnessed Qin Ran's formidable ability.

Previously, in her impression, Qin Ran was a weak scholar who could concoct pills, set up formations, and had knowledge, but had low cultivation and was afraid of heights.

But at this moment, as she felt the master's vast magic power like the sea in her dantian, the seemingly endless magic power was easily controlled by the master, gently and effortlessly surrounding her qi spiral, orderly extracting the power of the stars inside.

"Is this still Foundation Establishment stage?"

Whether it was the amount of magic power or the control over magic power, it exceeded Li Shiyin's cognition.

She finally realized that the gap between the same stage could be greater than the gap between crossing stages.

The top gold spirit root, sensing qi overnight and building the foundation is completely perfect early Foundation Establishment. It’s only one step away from mid Foundation Establishment, and she had only cultivated for a few days. She really is a peerless genius.

As for the master... The master said he would form the core before the age of fifty. Fifty years old, heh, she must form the core faster than the master.

It's not that she, Li Shiyin, is ungrateful and doesn't respect the master. It's just that is the master's comprehension of cultivation really correct? Or in other words, is the comprehension of an ordinary mortal like the master suitable for a peerless genius like her?

She had thought so before...

Until this moment, she knew she was wrong, very wrong.

The master is the master!

The master's vast yet gentle water-attributed magic power slowly exited. Li Shiyin opened her eyes and looked at Qin Ran, saying again, "Master, I was wrong."

Qin Ran glanced at her without saying anything.

Li Shiyin was very beautiful, fifteen or sixteen years old. The age gap of less than ten years between them could be ignored in the cultivation world. Qin Ran secretly fancied that she could be his dao companion.

But more often, he felt tired. This disciple was too silly, like raising a daughter.

After lunch, Qin Ran took some things out of the storage room and began measuring and placing them in the open space in front of the house, while looking up at the sky from time to time.

Seeing this from inside the house, Li Shiyin ran out and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

After all, she was a silly disciple, thick-skinned, like a Samoyed, and had already forgotten the scolding in the morning.

"Finding the orientation, setting up formations..." Qin Ran glanced at her and explained, "Although the stellar power at night is very rich, the moon tonight is very round, and the interference of moonlight will be severe. Setting up a formation in advance to draw in stellar power while purifying it will make it more convenient for you to convert your qi spiral."

Li Shiyin nodded. In her mind, she began to calculate that the master was an alchemy master with extremely high alchemy skills. The master could also set up formations, spatial formations, induction formations, etc. His attainment in formations was obviously very high. In addition, the master's cultivation was also extremely vigorous. And finally, the master was still very young.

The master seemed to be much more powerful than she had imagined... No, the master was really too powerful.

Compared to the master, what kind of genius was she?
