Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 241: Careful Guidance
Si Youyou was brimming with motivation.
Because Chen Yan had promised her that as long as she could cultivate to the Martial Spring Realm, she could eat as much of that pastry she had at the Lightning-Severing Sect as she wanted.
And she would never get a nosebleed or faint again.
In truth, Si Youyou didn’t understand what this so-called Martial Spring Realm truly represented; she was just a six-year-old child.
Even though both of this child’s parents were also cultivators.
As for those cultivators who had tried to kidnap Si Youyou on the ferry, the mastermind behind them still hadn’t made any further moves up to this point.
Chen Yan was very concerned about those people, because he understood clearly that the power behind that group was definitely not simple.
Chen Yan even suspected that behind those people were certain forces belonging to one of the Five Great Sects.
The Five Great Sects were not a monolithic bloc.
Chen Yan, having once been the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain, knew this very well.
The Grand Elders of the Five Great Sects generally wouldn’t show themselves easily and wouldn’t interfere in the internal affairs of their respective sects.
For example, within Kongshan Sect’s Qingchan Peak, the True Dharma lineage and the Martial Discipline lineage had been fighting for decades, and a victor still hadn’t been decided.
Similar situations occurred within the other four great sects as well.
As for which faction had set their sights on Si Youyou, Chen Yan didn’t know.
But he speculated that the reason no one had come knocking even after such a long time probably meant they were safe for the short term.
Because Mr. You was here.
Chen Yan didn’t know Mr. You’s specific cultivation realm, but he was certain that the current realm of this reincarnated body of an Immortal Ascension Realm great power definitely started at Dao Union.
No one would be willing to provoke a Dao Union Realm great power, not even the Five Great Sects.
Martial Spring Realm, mid-stage.
From a mortal body to the mid-stage of the Martial Spring Realm, it took Si Youyou a total of forty days.
During these forty days, Chen Yan also witnessed just how deep Mr. You’s pockets were. He had sold several mid-grade magical instruments at the auction house of the Beiguang River Ferry, all just to buy high-quality medicinal pills for Si Youyou.
The guidance of an Immortal Ascension Realm great power, combined with medicinal pills worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, managed, within forty days, to forcibly push Si Youyou’s cultivation from a mortal body to the mid-stage of the Martial Spring Realm.
And it was at this time that Chen Yan and Mr. You began considering a new problem.
That was, the reason they wanted Si Youyou to rapidly raise her cultivation realm to the Martial Spring Realm in an extremely short time was so she could participate in the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry.
This meant that having just the cultivation realm was far from enough; what was more important was that she had to be able to fight.
Chen Yan and Mr. You stood in the rented small courtyard, looking at that little figure in the yard whose height didn’t even reach their waists.
“Mr. You, I always feel that what we’re about to do might shock the entire Chenping Continent.”
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yan spoke:
“Should we think of another way?”
A six-year-old girl with Martial Spring Realm cultivation, defeating all her opponents and seizing the title of Floating Light Summit champion at the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry, an event all the famous major sects of the Northern Region of Chenping Continent would participate in.
And her opponents would include the heaven-chosen talents of the Northern Region’s top cultivation sects, as well as many experienced and skilled old hands.
It was too exaggerated.
If she could truly achieve such a record, then even Qin Qingyu of the Star Heaven Sect would only pale in comparison before Si Youyou.
Several Dao Union Realm great powers from the Five Great Sects would gather together, study Si Youyou’s achievements for a long time, and in the end could only sigh with admiration, “She has the talent to ascend to immortality.”
“We’ll take it one step at a time. There are plenty of ways to run away.”
Mr. You simply said this.
If Mr. You directly gifted that high-grade magical instrument he gave to the Lightning-Severing Sect to Wind Ravine Valley, forget one Nine Revolutions Chaos Heaven Tempering Meridian Pill, even ten of them, Wind Ravine Valley would definitely be willing to exchange with Mr. You.
But Mr. You was unwilling to do so, or rather, he didn’t want to get too involved with the Five Great Sects.
“We need to teach her some offensive techniques that can actually be of use.”
Mr. You looked towards Si Youyou in the small courtyard and said this.
The biggest problem they currently faced was that there were only a little over ten days left until the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry Assembly.
To rapidly elevate cultivation realm in a short time, Mr. You could barely manage it.
But the difficulty of learning offensive techniques sufficient to claim the top spot at the Floating Light Summit Dao Inquiry within a dozen or so days was dozens of times greater than raising cultivation from zero to the Martial Spring Realm.
Especially since Si Youyou was still young. With her current temperament, even if she mastered offensive techniques, it would probably be difficult for her to unleash their full power against an opponent.
Mr. You made many attempts, trying to teach Youyou over a dozen different offensive techniques, and finally settled on two.
They were Piercing Sun Rainbow and Thousand Clouds Transformation.
Piercing Sun Rainbow was an offensive technique that focused on single-target attacks, using true qi to activate the Martial Spring, capable of damaging enemies from dozens of zhang away. It could maximize Si Youyou’s advantages and avoid her shortcomings.
As for Thousand Clouds Transformation, it allowed for shifting positions through the transformation between real and illusory forms. It could help Si Youyou quickly disengage when an enemy closed in, and she could also use the momentary gap during the real-illusory transformation to launch a fierce attack.
“To maximize the effectiveness of Thousand Clouds Transformation, the most important thing is a compatible movement technique.”
Saying this, Mr. You turned his gaze towards Chen Yan.
Xun Wind Step.
Back when Chen Yan first fought Mr. You, the Xun Wind Step he executed had truly caught Mr. You’s eye.
It could absolutely be considered one of the top-tier movement techniques in this world.
For Chen Yan, there was nothing about Xun Wind Step worth hiding.
His current core techniques were the Hidden Immortal Art and the Great Derivation Art, which, for various reasons, couldn’t be easily revealed.
As for cultivation arts or movement techniques like the Purple Mansion Record and Xun Wind Step, Chen Yan considered them completely inconsequential.
“Agreed.”
Chen Yan nodded.
…
Fifteen days later.
The figure of a young man wearing plain-colored daoist robes held a bowl of rice in his hand, with a chicken leg and a few green vegetable leaves piled on top. No matter how much he weaved, dodged, and shifted his steps within the courtyard, the food in his hand remained perfectly still.
And in front of him was a five or six-year-old girl, circling around the young man, throwing punches and kicks in his direction.
But she never even managed to touch the hem of the young man’s robe.
“Go for it, Youyou!”
Chen Yan, sitting to the side, shouted:
“As long as you touch Mr. You, you can eat!”
Si Youyou hadn’t eaten a single meal for a full fourteen days.
Overall, Chen Yan and Mr. You’s educational policy for Si Youyou was roughly:
This, is Piercing Sun Rainbow and Thousand Clouds Transformation.
This, is Xun Wind Step.
Alright, you have now mastered all the skills you need to learn.
As long as you defeat this seemingly frail young man in front of you, you can eat!
