Chapter 273: Chapter 271: Loneliness
Clearly, Qin Yu has already caught the attention of the Hall Master.
That guardian is the best proof!
Qin Yu’s departure from Cyan Mountain Sect is only a matter of time.
After all, the resources at Cyan Mountain Sect are limited. Even if Qin Yu has a good Root Bone, he will be restricted.
"This is the Cultivation Technique Qin Yu gave me."
Liu Zixiao, to provoke her good sister, took out that roll of Middle Grade Cultivation Technique from her Storage Ring.
"You say this is a Middle Grade Cultivation Technique?!"
The Sect Leader was shocked.
How could Qin Yu treat Liu Zixiao so well?!
Liu Zixiao generously handed it to her.
Confirmed.
The Sect Leader didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Not only that, the Hall Master also sent Qin Yu five more Cultivation Techniques and a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"..."
It’s evident that this is not just ordinary attention.
Even if they wanted to mentor Qin Yu, one Earth Level Cultivation Technique would be enough; why use six?!
And those thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.
Could it be that the Hall Master wants Qin Yu to be his successor?!
That possibility certainly exists!
Could my disciple be the future Hall Master?
Wouldn’t that mean riding over me, the Sect Leader?!
No!
Su Xihe quickly realized.
Why is this good sister suddenly telling me all this?!
"Liu Zixiao, you wouldn’t be trying to drag me down, would you?!"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at her good sister.
The Sect Leader originally thought Liu Zixiao would quibble a bit, but surprisingly, Liu Zixiao nodded very affirmatively, "Yes."
Sect Leader: "..."
She was stunned.
Not hiding it at all?!
"Ugh!... After a long journey, I’m going to sleep first."
Liu Zixiao stretched lazily, looking weary.
During the days on the Flying Ship, she hadn’t rested well and definitely needed to give her good sister some buffer time.
After Liu Zixiao left, the Sect Leader lay on her bed but couldn’t fall asleep.
No matter what Liu Zixiao’s intentions are, she spoke the truth.
And it seems Qin Yu might soon leave Cyan Mountain Sect, right?
After all, he’s already a Golden Core. With his Cultivation speed, he should soon be able to charge for the Lotus Platform.
If he leaves Cyan Mountain Sect, will his sister follow?
Will Liu Zixiao follow?
If they all leave, won’t I be left alone?!
Unexpectedly, a sense of loneliness swept over, making the Sect Leader curl up.
In the next few days, Liu Zixiao kept visiting the Sect Leader, often inviting her to soak in hot springs.
Initially, the Sect Leader was cautious, but after a continuous period with nothing happening, she relaxed.
Moreover, after a trip, this good sister’s massage techniques remarkably improved, almost lulling her to sleep every time.
Comfortable.
After all, a woman with burdens usually has sore shoulders.
After being massaged by Liu Zixiao a few times, gradually, she felt uneasy without a daily massage.
On the third day’s noon, Qin Yu appeared in the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion.
The Sect Leader thought he wouldn’t come today, so she was casually dressed, wore loose clothing, and reclining in the courtyard’s gently swaying hammock, holding a scroll, reading it with relish.
"Oh my."
Maybe touched by a passage in the book, she showed a deeply disdainful expression, yet her eyes stayed on the scroll.
At that moment, Qin Yu entered, his gaze directly falling on Su Xihe, instantly captivated by the beautiful scene before him.
Unlike the dignified elegance she displayed in her ornate ceremonial robes, the Sect Leader now exuded a natural beauty, even a hint of prettiness, stirring one’s heart, making it hard to look away.
Moreover, perhaps for comfort, she wasn’t wearing socks or shoes; her ankles delicate as porcelain, her toes lightly tapping, resembling the gentle warmth of early spring water, inadvertently revealing themselves, adding imagination to the surrounding air.
A true paragon of beauty!
The next moment, the Sect Leader immediately reacted, seeing Qin Yu staring at her feet, instinctively wanting to hide them, but felt it might diminish her stature as a master.
She shifted from a reclining position to sitting upright, discreetly storing the scroll into her Storage Ring.
"Master."
Qin Yu reluctantly withdrew his gaze, saluting the Sect Leader.
But the Sect Leader’s eyes fell on his robe, twitching slightly.
How annoying!
This was getting increasingly inappropriate.
Was he trying to provoke her, his master?!
She intended to scold a bit but remembered this rebellious disciple had a guardian.
She endured.
Yan Yu initially came in with him but then inexplicably left again.
Perhaps she thought something private might occur between them?
"Go train!"
The Sect Leader feigned calmness, trying to dismiss him.
Qin Yu couldn’t miss such an opportunity and said, "Master, your disciple encountered some problems in Cultivation and hopes Master can enlighten your disciple."
The Sect Leader frowned, suspiciously looking at him.
Qin Yu was already a Golden Core and possibly had a better Cultivation Technique; why would he need her guidance?
However, as a master, it wasn’t proper to refuse, "Speak up."
"Yes."
At this point, Qin Yu became serious, saying, "After breaking through to Golden Core, your disciple feels the Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea Technique seems a bit unsuitable..."
"The speed at which your disciple’s Cultivation is advancing is even slower than when practicing the Sensing Technique."
Saying this, he showed a bitter expression.
The Sect Leader didn’t believe it at first, but seeing his tone and expression not being fake, she reconsidered.
Qin Yu took off the Illusion Spirit Jade, immediately exposing his Root Bone and Cultivation fluctuations to Su Xihe’s senses.
Dao Bone!
No mistake.
Identical to the fluctuations from Su Xiyue and Leng Ruyu!
Even though she knew, the Sect Leader was still awestruck.
When she first met Qin Yu, he had a Lower Grade Spirit Bone and had even lied to her.
Now, in just four years, he is a Dao Bone!
And he has Golden Core Cultivation.
"Oh."
Soon, a doubt flashed in the Sect Leader’s eyes.
In her perception, Qin Yu’s fluctuations were indeed Early-stage Golden Core, but his Realm was static.
This was entirely different from his past rapid advancement.
All along, Qin Yu’s Cultivation speed was astonishing, especially now with the Dao Bone and possibly better Cultivation Techniques.
And now, it’s been a year since Qin Yu broke through to Golden Core.
Breaking through to mid-stage Golden Core may not be so fast, but it’s impossible to have no progress at all.
Could something indeed be wrong?
At this moment, Qin Yu stepped forward, extending his hand, seemingly wanting her to sense his internal condition.
The Sect Leader hesitated but extended her hand, gently placing it on his wrist.
His meridians showed no issues, but when her senses penetrated Qin Yu’s Dantian and ’saw’ that Golden Core, she was stunned.
The Golden Core was surrounded by circles of halos, like a glorious sun hovering there, illuminating the entire Dantian to resemble a golden sea.
