Chapter 252: Stupid? I Chose It

Qingyun Prefecture.

Lin Family small courtyard.

Lin Chuan and the Purple Star Emperor Sect Fu Guang Daoist finished the transmission.

Three months remain before the Three Thousand Prefectures Genius War begins, and the Fu Guang Daoist invited him to go early.

To go early both to understand the competition rules and to learn about the opponents.

Lin Chuan agreed to go to Dao Tian Zhou in a month.

During this month, he first taught Lü Ya cultivation.

The next morning.

Lü Ya took the initiative to come to the gate.

Lin Chuan smiled and asked, "How was yesterday's study with Jiao Jiao? You should have learned the basic breath‑guiding into the body, right?"

"I have."

After absorbing Chaotic Flower Saliva, Lü Ya gained the foundation of a top‑tier genius; even with slightly low comprehension, the eight Mortal Dust base realms are still very easy for her.

The Legend Four Realms truly begin to test comprehension.

Lin Chuan asked, "What type of cultivation method do you want to learn, have you thought about it?"

"Young master, what kinds of methods are there? Could you show me some first?" Lü Ya whispered, not daring to voice her true thoughts.

"Sure."

Lin Chuan waved his hand, and dozens of Jade Talismans floated in the air.

"There are many methods; if you like sword practice, you can choose a Sword Path method, if you favor flames, you can choose a fire‑type method."

"Each method has its own strengths."

"Hold a Jade Talisman in your hand, sense it, and see if any appeals to you."

Choice is sometimes more important than effort.

Which path Lü Ya truly excels in can only be known by the Guidance of her own inner self.

She reached out and grasped a Jade Talisman.

"This one won't do."

After a while, Lü Ya shook her head, abandoned that talisman, and seized another.

After a brief sensing, she chose to discard it as well.

One after another.

Lü Ya appeared hesitant, but her heart had already made a choice.

A few hours later, all the Jade Talismans had been sensed completely.

Lin Chuan frowned slightly, "Not a single one satisfactory?"

Could it be that Lü Ya's comprehension is absurdly poor, lacking even a suitable method?

"Sigh."

He let out a light sigh, then said helplessly, "Think, what do you like? What do you hope for in your heart?"

He couldn't believe it, still unable to find a path fitting Lü Ya!

"I… I like you the most, Young master."

"What I look forward to most is staying by your side forever."

Lü Ya replied very sincerely.

"..."

Lin Chuan was at a loss for words.

"I discuss cultivation with you, and you hit me straight?"

"That's not right!"

Lin Chuan suddenly recalled something; given Lü Ya's temperament, even without a perfect match, she would never reject everything outright,

she would only reluctantly pick a relatively suitable one.

Rejecting everything would be odd.

Seeing Lü Ya about to speak then stop, he feared she had already decided in her heart, just unwilling to say it.

Thinking this, Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly,

"Lü Ya, did you learn the wrong things from Jiao Jiao?"

"Huh?"

Lü Ya's face flushed instantly, "No… I didn't."

Lin Chuan took an ancient book from the Space Ring and teased, "Is this the kind of cultivation you want?"

His gaze fell on the book's cover, the kind that makes one's emotions hard to restrain, ears flushing red, clearly a frivolous cultivation method.

That's exactly what Lü Ya wants!

Damn!

Why would the young master secretly keep such a method?

It seems there's more than one?

Has the young master already cultivated together with Sangyu, Yun Jie Jie, Jiao Jiao, Ye Xue?

Thinking of this, Lü Ya felt indignant, and her courage suddenly grew considerably.

"Young master, I heard from Jiao Jiao that there are dual‑cultivation methods in the world that complement yin and yang and are highly effective."

"Is that true?"

"It is." Lin Chuan nodded.

This girl really learned bad habits from Tu Shan Jiao Jiao!

You come up and already want dual cultivation?

Dual cultivation isn't that simple a thing?

The dual cultivation spoken of by the world is usually one‑sided siphoning, a harm to the other party.

True dual cultivation must be the Yin‑Yang Secret Art that good brother Hong cultivated in the Ancient God Absolute Realm dream Samsara World.

Such secret arts impose strict requirements on both parties' physiques, spiritual compatibility, and many other aspects.

At least it's not something that Lü Ya, who has just begun the cultivation path, can learn.

"Young master, I want to learn this."

Lü Ya doesn't grasp the reasoning, but her eyes are full of anticipation.

"Sure."

Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, "But you're too weak now; you cannot practice the dual cultivation secret art. You'll have to wait until your physique is stronger."

"Otherwise, with a single strike from me, you'd..."

Realizing it was inappropriate, Lin Chuan rephrased.

"Regardless, one's own foundation is most important; dual cultivation can only serve as an auxiliary, a mere embellishment."

"Tu Shan Jiao Jiao should have told you as well, right?"

"She did."

She said she did, yet Lü Ya truly doesn't know which cultivation method suits her.

"Fine then."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, "I'll first choose the most common cultivation method for you; the boat will straighten itself at the bridge, and you'll know what suits you when the time comes."

Under Lin Chuan's direction, the matter of Lü Ya's cultivation was finally decided.

……

In the month that followed.

Lin Chuan taught Lü Ya cultivation hand‑by‑hand.

The little maid's comprehension is astonishingly poor; only the genius foundation forged from Chaotic Flower Saliva allows her cultivation to proceed smoothly.

He discovered that the little maid's mind seemed to lack the concept of 'cultivation'.

"She's a bit stupid, but there's nothing she can do about what she chose."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but activate the Reincarnation Eye to glance at Lü Ya's condition.

【Lü Ya, Reincarnation Count: 99.】

【This is Lü Ya's hundredth life; in the previous ninety‑nine reincarnations, she was your maid.】

See?

If her innate talent were strong, could she have been a laborer for all ninety‑nine lives?

I held back!

Lin Chuan treated it as a leisurely relaxation.

During this time, Xiao Qingmei Yun Zhi Yi, Ye Xue, and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao would all come, taking turns to teach Lü Ya some cultivation insights.

Such treatment is truly comparable to the group pampering afforded to the young generation of elite sects.

Unfortunately, Lü Ya's progress on the cultivation path remains minimal.

The upside is that Lü Ya's mysterious performance successfully fostered the relationships among the other ladies, giving them a topic they could discuss fervently and empathize with intensely.

For Lin Chuan, this matter warrants a major merit for Lü Ya.

……

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Sangyu, who had been in a deep slumber, also awoke.

Lin Chuan again received a transmission from the Fu Guang Daoist.

"Ready to set out, huh?"

As for the slot to enter the Ancient Ruins, Lin Chuan will obtain it at any cost, and can also take the opportunity to visit the Purple Star Emperor Sect to see his sister.

Not long ago, his sister messaged him, saying she was undertaking something very important within the Purple Star Emperor Sect, so he need not worry.

"Husband, we have discussed and will accompany you together."

The ladies walked over.

"Huh?"

Lin Chuan was startled, "Everyone else joins with a Protector Daoist leading the team; am I dragging my family along?"

"So what? There's no rule against it," Tu Shan Jiao Jiao pursed her lips, "Taking us along makes the husband lose face?"

"No, no."

Lin Chuan could not have asked for more.

He feared that being too high‑profile would easily invite a poisonous strike.

But on second thought, those who should fear a poisonous strike are the other contestants, a dual blow to body and spirit.
