Chapter 15: Guidance
The Pill Pavilion deacon quickly found the pills and handed them to Su Yan.
However, as they exchanged the pills, Su Yan felt a tickle in his palm.
The senior sister from the Pill Pavilion smiled faintly, then lowered her head and went back to her work.
Did I just get flirted with?
Su Yan blinked his eyes but didn’t say anything. He was already used to it.
“This is the trouble with being too charming~”
Su Yan sighed with emotion, put away the pills, and headed towards Heavenly Water Peak.
At the same time.
Lin Qingyue opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar room, her head was still a little fuzzy.
“Where am I?”
“Right, I joined the sect yesterday. This is my room.”
At this thought, Lin Qingyue lifted the covers. Her fair, jade-like feet touched the floor, and she paced around the room excitedly.
“Calm down, calm down. You need to calm down. Today is your first day in the sect. You must make a good impression.”
Lin Qingyue told herself in a low voice. She picked up the clothes placed by the bed and began to put them on with a rustling sound.
Just then.
Knock, knock, knock!
A knock suddenly sounded at the door, and a gentle male voice came through.
“Junior Sister, are you awake?”
It’s Senior Brother Su Yan!
Lin Qingyue recognized the voice, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She said while putting on her dress, “I’m awake, just getting dressed. Senior Brother, please wait for me.”
She quickly finished dressing and, after confirming she was presentable, eagerly opened the door. A trace of infatuation flashed in her eyes.
“S-Senior Brother!?”
Lin Qingyue asked tentatively, looking at the person before her with some confusion.
Was it her imagination? Senior Brother seemed much more beautiful than yesterday.
Su Yan asked, “What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?”
Lin Qingyue shook her head and said, “There’s nothing on your face. I just noticed that Senior Brother is even more beautiful than yesterday. You get better-looking every day. Is this what they call natural beauty?”
Su Yan’s expression stiffened. He really didn’t want to be described like that!
But then he remembered this was a world where women were superior, and he couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Su Yan asked, “How did you sleep last night?”
Lin Qingyue replied, “Very well. I’ve never slept so well, and I’ve never worn such beautiful clothes.”
She had lost her parents at a young age and had always been poor. She never had the money to buy clothes like these.
Hearing Lin Qingyue say this, Su Yan turned his gaze to her and only then noticed that the young girl was wearing the uniform of a Heavenly Water Peak disciple.
The girl was already beautiful to begin with; she could make even coarse linen look like a stunning sight. Now that she had changed into a beautiful dress, she was the very picture of loveliness.
Su Yan’s gaze carefully sized up the young girl. A slender waist, a shapely rear, and a full chest. His junior sister had a poor family background since childhood; he didn’t know how she had developed so well.
Lin Qingyue noticed her Senior Brother’s gaze and her face turned red, but she didn’t say anything.
Being looked at by a man wouldn’t make her lose a piece of flesh. Some women even wished for it.
Su Yan nodded. “I’m relieved you slept well. Since you’re well-rested, are you ready to step through the gates of cultivation?”
Lin Qingyue said excitedly, “I’m ready! Come at me, Senior Brother!”
Su Yan led Lin Qingyue to the bed and sat down. He took out the medicine box from his robes, which contained a single pill.
“This is a Qi Guiding Pill. Take it, and I will guide you in refining its medicinal power.”
Lin Qingyue took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
As the pill entered her stomach, she immediately felt a warm current in her dantian, which then surged through her limbs and bones with every breath.
Su Yan instructed, “Junior Sister, the Qi Guiding Pill has the effect of gathering spiritual qi. You must carefully sense the world around you and capture that wisp of qi. Only after you’ve sensed spiritual qi can you cultivate independently in the future and cross the threshold of a cultivator.”
“I understand.”
Lin Qingyue closed her eyes. She felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen, her head was dizzy, and her body was in some pain.
Su Yan’s voice entered her ears.
“You’ll feel some pain at first. This is because the Qi Guiding Pill also has a slight effect of remodeling the body. But if you endure it, it will pass. You must not get distracted.”
Lin Qingyue nodded with difficulty.
Su Yan looked at his little junior sister and reached out a hand to help her refine the pill. The system suddenly popped up with options.
[Option 1: Your little junior sister is at a critical moment and cannot move. Now is the time to do as you please. Take the opportunity to push her down. (Reward for completion: One low-grade dual cultivation manual)]
[Option 2: Remain indifferent. Let your junior sister slowly refine the pill and enjoy her pained expression. (Reward for completion: Mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Red Gold Spear)]
[Option 3: Help your junior sister. (Reward for completion: Aptitude +5)]
Su Yan was already immune to the system’s lewd nature. It was always about pushing someone down, and this time was no different.
“I choose three,” Su Yan said in his heart, placing his hand on his junior sister’s chest.
It wasn’t that he wanted to do anything; he had to. After all, to refine medicinal power, he couldn’t just do it from a distance.
“Junior Sister, I’m coming.”
Su Yan used his divine sense to help Lin Qingyue refine the medicinal power.
With Su Yan’s help, Lin Qingyue felt less pain. It was even a little comfortable. She couldn’t help but let out a soft cry.
“Mmm~”
That moan nearly sent Su Yan over the edge.
Due to the pill’s effects, his little junior sister was now drenched in sweat. Her clothes were soaked through, creating a very eye-catching sight. Add to that the kitten-like moan…
[The little junior sister is suspected of seducing the host. As a man, how can you remain indifferent?]
His little junior sister fell limply against him. The system popped up to cause trouble again, and three options appeared before his eyes.
[Option 1: Go with the flow, pounce on your junior sister, and study the great Dao of dual cultivation with her ten times. (Reward for completion: One high-grade dual cultivation manual.)]
[Option 2: Push down your junior sister and study the great Dao of dual cultivation with her five times. (Reward for completion: One mid-grade dual cultivation manual.)]
[Option 3: No way, are you a silver spear with a wax tip? Push down your junior sister once. (Reward for completion: One low-grade dual cultivation manual.)]
This damn system had to go! Not a single one of the three options was reliable!
Su Yan gritted his teeth and gave up on choosing this time.
He closed his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind. He focused on guiding his junior sister in refining the medicinal power.
Just like that, an unknown amount of time passed before Lin Qingyue opened her watery, glistening eyes.
“Senior Brother, I succeeded! I…”
Halfway through her sentence, her voice suddenly stopped.
Lin Qingyue realized she was in the wrong place. This was her Senior Brother’s shoulder; she was actually leaning against him.
“Ah, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!”
Lin Qingyue’s face turned red. She tried to sit up straight, but because she had no strength, she slid off Su Yan’s shoulder and fell weakly onto the bed.
Seeing this, Su Yan felt his breath catch in his throat.
A drenched beauty lying on the bed, looking up at you with a shy expression—who could possibly resist that!
Su Yan felt his self-control being severely tested. He took a deep breath and stood up from the bed.
Just then, Lin Qingyue also noticed the state she was in. Her face turned so red it looked like steam was about to come out of her head.
