Chapter 17: Little Junior Sister’s Talent
A month of cultivation for an ordinary person was less than a single day for her. The gap between him and her was simply immense.
Right now, she obediently called him Senior Brother, but he wouldn’t be “Senior Brother” for long. In just a few months, she would leave him in the dust.
At this thought, Su Yan sighed.
“Don’t worry, Junior Sister. If you didn’t have the aptitude, Master wouldn’t have accepted you. Besides, you sensed spiritual qi so quickly—that’s proof of your talent.”
Although she had just stepped onto the path of immortality, the spiritual energy in her body was already half of his own, and one had to remember that Lin Qingyue was only in the early Qi Refinement stage.
“Is this what a genius is?”
Su Yan looked at his junior sister, then at himself.
Sigh, let’s not talk about it. The more he said, the more tears would fall!
If he didn’t have the system, he would have no choice but to curry favor with his junior sister, thinking of latching onto her powerful coattails in the future.
“I don’t need to now, but the choices the system gives…”
Su Yan’s eyes flickered, and he let out another heavy sigh.
Perhaps he needed to be a little more shameless to survive better in this world.
Hearing Su Yan’s comfort, Lin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
“Senior Brother is right. I was overthinking it.”
Seeing that Lin Qingyue had come around, Su Yan led her into the Technique Pavilion.
The Technique Pavilion was a magnificent hall that housed all of the Transcendent Immortal Sect’s cultivation methods. From the sect’s ultimate secret arts to minor mortal techniques, everything was collected within.
Lin Qingyue’s future achievements would be extraordinary, but right now, she was just a newcomer to cultivation. So, this visit was only to receive the most basic cultivation manual.
As soon as they entered the Technique Pavilion, they saw a beautiful woman sitting at the front desk. Su Yan walked over and said, “Elder Yun, I’ve brought my junior sister to test her aptitude. Could I trouble you to make the arrangements?”
The one in charge of the Technique Pavilion was an elder of the Transcendent Immortal Sect, Yun Youyou. Don’t be fooled by her youthful beauty and her cold, aloof, older-sister vibe; on the inside, she was a perverted scumbag. As for why he said that…
“Eh, it’s you, little one. What I said last time still stands. As long as you let me give you a kiss, I’ll grant you third-level access here.”
Seeing Su Yan, Yun Youyou’s eyes lit up, and she licked her lips.
Su Yan’s face darkened. He clenched his fists and said, “Is Elder Yun itching for a beating again? Do you want me to tell my Master and have her answer for me?”
When he first met Yun Youyou, seeing her cold demeanor, he had thought she was a heartless woman.
Su Yan had been mesmerized by her ample chest and couldn’t help but steal a couple more glances. But those two glances had caused a problem.
“Do you like them, little brother? If you do, why don’t you come back to my room with me? Big Sister will let you take a slow, long look.”
Su Yan had been shocked. Yun Youyou, as an elder who had cultivated for over two hundred years, was actually flirting with a young disciple like him. This was a classic case of an old cow eating young grass, something strictly forbidden by the sect!
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll call someone to arrest you for doing this?”
Yun Youyou had replied, “What reason is there to arrest me? Big Sister hasn’t violated any sect rules. I just happen to like bamboo shoots, especially tender and juicy ones like you…”
Su Yan had held up a hand to cut her off, then sent a message to his Master with a blank expression.
He wasn’t an idiot. This woman was acting so fearlessly; she must have connections in the enforcement team. Only his Master could handle her.
Sure enough, when Bai Shuixin arrived, Yun Youyou’s expression changed. She said in a panic, “You’re actually that woman’s disciple!?”
When Bai Shuixin arrived and saw Yun Youyou, she was furious. She said coldly, “I knew it was you, you indecent woman! How dare you flirt with my disciple! Are you tired of living!”
Bai Shuixin’s martial prowess was exceptional. She gave Yun Youyou a sound beating, and only then was the matter settled.
…
Recalling this, Su Yan’s expression turned slightly cold, and he exuded an aura that kept others at a distance.
Lin Qingyue was a little surprised. She had never seen her Senior Brother so serious. Who was this beautiful older sister?
Hearing Su Yan’s threat, Yun Youyou’s expression became serious. She quickly waved her hands and said, “Don’t tell your Master! I don’t want to get beaten up by her again.”
Yun Youyou turned to look at Lin Qingyue and said, “You’re the one to be tested, right? The new little junior sister?”
Lin Qingyue bowed slightly and said politely, “Hello, Elder Yun.”
Yun Youyou nodded slightly, her gaze not lingering on Lin Qingyue for long. She wasn’t interested in women.
“I wonder when the elder can arrange the test,” Su Yan reminded her coldly.
“Follow me.”
Yun Youyou led the way, and the two followed behind.
Inside the testing room.
Yun Youyou walked to the testing platform and said, “Place your hand on it.”
“Mm.”
Lin Qingyue did as she was told.
A few moments later, words appeared on the crystal of the testing platform: Ice-type Heaven Spiritual Root, aptitude super-grade.
Yun Youyou’s mouth fell open in surprise. “I never thought you, little one, would have such high aptitude. You’re a fine seedling for cultivation.”
The Transcendent Immortal Sect hadn’t seen this kind of aptitude in decades. The last time was also that woman’s disciple. How could she be so lucky?
Lin Qingyue’s beautiful eyes couldn’t hide her joy. Having collected a lot of cultivation knowledge, she knew the meaning of a Heaven Spiritual Root. So she really was a genius!
“I told you, Junior Sister. Your worries were completely unnecessary,” Su Yan said with a smile.
“Senior Brother, this is all because of you.”
Lin Qingyue looked up, her face full of smiles.
If her Senior Brother hadn’t appeared, her fate would have been uncertain, likely heading towards a tragic end. He was the one who had given her hope and changed her destiny.
“Senior Brother, let’s go.”
Her wish had been fulfilled, and Lin Qingyue couldn’t have been more excited.
Su Yan tapped her on the head and said, “Have you gotten carried away with joy? You haven’t gotten your cultivation manual yet!”
“Oh, right!”
Lin Qingyue clutched her head, smiling a little foolishly.
She was so happy that she had forgotten such an important thing.
Yun Youyou said, “The aptitude test is over. You two should leave quickly. The cultivation methods are on the first floor. You can pick one yourselves.”
A beauty was right beside her, but she couldn’t make a move. Yun Youyou felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to get out of there quickly.
Su Yan had the same idea and led his little junior sister out of the room.
When Yun Youyou was no longer in sight, Lin Qingyue sidled up to him and asked curiously, “Senior Brother, why do you dislike Elder Yun so much?”
Su Yan frowned. “I don’t want to say much about her. You just need to know to stay far away from her and not be led astray by her. She’s not a very proper person.”
Lin Qingyue’s eyes widened. Not proper?
She looked at her handsome Senior Brother beside her, recalled the elder’s flirtatious words, and wondered, Could it be that Elder Yun has flirted with Senior Brother before?
Su Yan shook his head and said, “Don’t ask anymore. It’s just some boring little matter. Picking a cultivation method for you is more important.”
Seeing that her Senior Brother didn’t want to talk about it, Lin Qingyue obediently nodded.
The cultivation manuals in the Technique Pavilion were all-encompassing. Based on a cultivator’s spiritual root attribute, they were roughly divided into five categories, corresponding to the five elements of Daoism.
