Chapter 59: Is This Even a Proper Cultivation Art?
The next day, the male disciples of the Lingerie-Sect came to the side of Jiang Xun's small cabin and began building a house for Hua Bairui.
Tu Qing was also someone whose words contradicted her actions; she said it would take three days, but in the end, all five thousand male disciples arrived, and they worked tirelessly to finish building the house in a single day.
Moreover, this was the Lingerie-Sect, where women's necessities were fully stocked, so there was no need for Hua Bairui to buy anything.
Jiang Xun also immediately sent a message to Hua Bairui.
That same evening, Hua Bairui moved in.
"If you need anything, just let me know at any time; give a shout, and I will be able to hear you."
Jiang Xun stood in Hua Bairui's room, looking around as he spoke.
The interior decoration was actually quite similar to Jiang Xun's own cabin.
A bed with curtains, a dining table, a reception area with a bookshelf, a rug on the floor with low stools, and a long table.
Behind a screen to the side was a bathtub.
There was also a kitchen next to the small cabin.
Though it might not necessarily get used.
As for the courtyard, it was empty and bare.
"I didn't have them tidy up the courtyard; you probably want to plant some flowers or something similar, right?"
Jiang Xun pointed outside the house as he spoke.
"Thank you." Hua Bairui nodded; she had indeed been thinking just that.
She hadn't expected that even without her saying it, Jiang Xun would have done so.
【Ding, Hua Bairui's favorability: 80!】
【Return multiplier: 800!】
"If you want to join the Lingerie-Sect, I'll have a word with Tu Qing. It just so happens that West Mountain Peak is missing an Elder. The person currently serving as Elder is a Golden Core Late Stage disciple chosen a few days ago; when the time comes, you can defeat her, and you will naturally become the Elder of West Mountain Peak."
"No, no, no." Hua Bairui waved her hands repeatedly: "How could I become an Elder the moment I arrive? That is too unreasonable."
On one hand, Hua Bairui felt it was inappropriate, and on the other, she did not want to join the Lingerie-Sect; after all... its reputation was indeed not very good.
"Rest assured, even if you join the Lingerie-Sect, you can continue to practice your own cultivation art. Furthermore, my idea is that you could teach your cultivation art to the disciples of West Mountain Peak; at that time, West Mountain Peak could be considered a branch of the Baihua Sect," Jiang Xun said with a smile.
"That won't work. I have taken an oath, and my cultivation art is also part of the Baihua Sect's secrets," Hua Bairui shook her head and smiled.
"... That is true as well," Jiang Xun nodded: "If you need to go out, let me know, and I will see you out."
"Mm." Hua Bairui nodded.
"Look at this." Jiang Xun walked behind the room's main door and pointed to the Formation on the wall: "This is a Soundproof Barrier; after opening it, the sounds inside will not travel outside. This is a Protection Barrier, which can block attacks from the outside. It doesn't require a Dharma Formula; just touching it with your hand is enough."
"Alright, I understand." Hua Bairui nodded.
Then, the two fell into silence again.
A moment later, Jiang Xun pointed toward the doorway and said: "Well, I'll head back first."
"Ah..." Hua Bairui was stunned for a moment and looked at the teapot on the table; just as she was about to speak, Jiang Xun had already turned and walked out.
"... One is supposed to pour tea when hosting a guest, right?" Hua Bairui looked at the teapot and said.
She did not socialize much, so she really hadn't reacted in time.
"Sigh... I'll be sure to remember next time." Hua Bairui sighed, then began to look over her room.
Afterward, she nodded, looking quite satisfied.
Over the next few days, Hua Bairui began planting flowers and grass in the courtyard. Jiang Xun would occasionally come out to get some fresh air in the yard, and the two would greet each other.
Hua Bairui lived here, and everything went very smoothly, only...
"Good heavens... who is it again tonight?"
Hua Bairui lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Jiang Xun's room was ten meters away from hers, with two walls in between.
Yet, whether it was the woman from last night or the woman tonight, the sounds were truly too loud.
And every time it reached the end, the cries were heart-rending, as if they were about to die, and they kept begging for mercy.
Once they started begging for mercy, it would last for two hours, and they would go at it all night long...
The person who came tonight was Tu Qing. This person was naturally more resilient to begin with, and now that she knew Hua Bairui was living next door, she became even more spirited; she was doing it on purpose so that Hua Bairui would hear, letting her know whose man this was!
However, Hua Bairui clearly did not think in that direction.
She only thought: 'Is doing that thing... so terrifying? Is this what the Lingerie-Sect is like...'
Hua Bairui was beginning to doubt life.
The day before yesterday, when Hua Bairui had just moved in, there was no activity because Jiang Xun had gone on a date with Qin Miaoyin.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Xun opened his eyes, Tu Qing had already left.
After stretching, Jiang Xun planned to practice those cultivation arts of Jun Tianling's properly today.
"Jun Tianling."
"Ah? Who are you calling?"
Qin Miaoyin's voice came from Jiang Xun's mind.
"Ah? Wrong account, never mind, never mind."
Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment; his mind really wasn't very clear after waking up in the morning.
"Wrong account?"
Qin Miaoyin was completely confused upon hearing this.
"Jun Tianling."
Jiang Xun logged back into the account.
"What is it?"
"Learning a cultivation technique, teach me the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging first."
Jiang Xun said while walking outside.
"Oh, come in."
Jun Tianling nodded; since she had promised to teach him earlier, she would not go back on her word.
She had previously sworn not to attack Jiang Xun during the teaching period, so Jiang Xun was not worried about her attacking him inside the Liu Hong Sword.
Thus, he lay on the chair, took out the Liu Hong Sword, and his soul dived inside.
"Use blood as a guide, strike the spirit apertures, form the Ghost Seal with your hands, and use blood to manifest form."
Jun Tianling said while demonstrating with her hands, though it was different from the one she used; it was red: "This way, you can have a basic manifestation."
"Why is it red?"
Jiang Xun asked upon seeing this.
"This is blood. You must first learn to manifest form, and then I can teach you how to strengthen it. Only after strengthening can the hardness increase; once the hardness is up, it can last longer, and the penetrating power can be stronger."
Jun Tianling said helplessly.
The more Jiang Xun listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Was she saying proper things?
Was she being improper, or was the cultivation technique improper?
Could it be that I am the one being improper?
"What kind of look is that?"
Seeing Jiang Xun's expression, Jun Tianling also furrowed her brows.
She suddenly recalled that when he was doing that thing with Gu Qing and Tu Qing, he seemed to have said something like, so hard, so long-lasting...
Thinking of this, Jun Tianling was about to go crazy.
'What on earth did I just say to him!'
'No, no, no, I am seriously teaching a cultivation technique, damn it! It's all this brat's fault, my thoughts...'
"Are you learning or not!" Seeing the look in Jiang Xun's eyes becoming increasingly strange, Jun Tianling shouted in a fit of embarrassment and anger.
"Learning, learning, learning."
Jiang Xun nodded repeatedly: "Increasing hardness and duration, right? How hard and how long must it be to be satisfied?"
"What are you saying!?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Tianling hurriedly stood up and retreated several steps, her face turning red.
"Huh? The cultivation technique, of course."
Jiang Xun looked serious.
"I told you to use blood to strike the spirit apertures first! What are you talking about..."
Jun Tianling was momentarily speechless, as she had indeed explained it to him that way just now...
