I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! Book 5: Chapter 32: I Can Fly

Book 5: Chapter 32: I Can Fly

Oh my G.o.d, what’s wrong here?

My Master, the three-thousand-year-old straight man with a heart of steel… has actually kissed and showed affection towards a woman?

Tang Ruowei stood on the flying sword. Her eyes just stared blankly forward, while her heart was in chaos.

Recalling what Su Xiangxue and Bai Qiuran were doing when she was standing outside the door secretly, the girl felt ashamed, her cheeks flushed.

“What are you doing?”

Suddenly someone behind her reached out and patted her face. Tang Ruowei recovered and heard Bai Qiuran standing behind her.

“You are riding the sword,” he said, “you must focus on controlling it well. If you don’t look ahead, what should you do if you b.u.mp into someone?”

Tang Ruowei wanted to refute him. They’re miles above, in the sky. How could there be someone to b.u.mp into? But as soon as she looked up, she suddenly saw a cultivator riding a big bird swiftly cut through the clouds, darting towards them.

She hurriedly tried to turn around. At the most critical moment, Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand to help her stabilize the flying sword, conjuring a hurricane up with his Qi, forcibly separating their trajectory from the cultivator’s.

The two pa.s.sed by quickly. Tang Ruowei turned her head and glanced at the man with lingering fears. He’d also turned his head towards her, probably frightened too.

“What are you doing, huh?”

Bai Qiuran shook Tang Ruowei’s head.

“You’re distracted while riding a flying sword. More importantly, while being distracted you take me so far and so high… As a teacher, should I praise you or scold you?”

Tang Ruowei lowered her head, embarra.s.sed, and did not answer.

Bai Qiuran looked at her for a moment. Then he suddenly asked,

“You… saw, didn’t you?”

Tang Ruowei’s flow of True Wi suddenly stagnated, and they fell freely for a height of tens of miles, shocking Bai Qiuran.

The girl finally hurriedly regained control, stabilized the flying sword.”What are you talking about, Master?” she said “Ruowei doesn’t understand…”

“I said in the study room, about me and Xiangxue. Did you see it while standing outside the door?”

Bai Qiuran paused.

“Don’t lie to me,” he said. “With your level, as long as you’re close, I will know without a special technique.”

“You call her Xiangxue… When did you two get so intimate…”

Tang Ruowei did not answer Bai Qiuran but instead whispered to herself.

Bai Qiuran was silent for a long time.

“Ruowei,” he asked suddenly, “what do you think about the possibility of having a teacher’s wife someday…?”

Tang Ruowei was astonished. She finally couldn’t hold the flying sword aloft any long. Amid the screams of the two, Kun Ling fell into the clouds, and Bai Qiuran quickly hugged Tang Ruowei in a hurry and guided her into a “hard landing.”

After climbing out of a pit with a diameter of more than two miles, Bai Qiuran said to the girl,

“Forget it, don’t fly, I’ll walk you back on foot.”

——————–

After returning to the Qingming Sword Sect, Bai Qiuran stopped by the main peak, showing up in front of Jue Yunzi and the elders, proving that he had not been abducted by the demon girl of the Kamasutra Sect. By the way, he’d also beat Jue Yunzi up.

He also gave the two books of the Demon Emperor’s techniques and the sword made from the bones of the first Demon Emperor to the elders, asking them to improve the formation of the Qingming Sword Sect.

Then, he took Tang Ruowei back to Seven Stars Peak and began his life at home again.

During this period of time, under the guidance of Wise Immortal, he sorted out some techniques from the Land Immortal era that might be useful, and then went out to replenish some supplies.

His behavior was discovered by Tang Ruowei, who lived together with him. When the girl asked Bai Qiuran if he was going out again in a while, Bai Qiuran gave an affirmative answer.

Tang Ruowei didn’t say anything, as she knew that Bai Qiuran was busy with his breakthrough, so her reaction was mostly that of loneliness.

Seeing her like this, Bai Qiuran called her over.

“Come on, Ruowei, Master will show you a treasure.”

“What’s this?”

Tang Ruowei leaned in suspiciously, only to find that Bai Qiuran pulled out a piece of ruler tape from the storage bag.

“This is one of the immortal treasures I refined in the demon world. Don’t you like surveying things and map-making? I’ll give you this stuff for you to use as you please.”

Bai Qiuran handed the ruler tape to Tang Ruowei, then turned away. While flipping through his bookcase he informed her of its uses.

“It can be stretched freely, and the scale is very precise. Basically, there is no length that it cannot measure. Of course, you can also use it as a weapon. It has sharp corners and can be used as a flexible sword. You have reached the Golden Core stage, so I prepared new swordsmanship and palm techniques for you to learn. You must work seriously…Huh? What are you doing?”

Tang Ruowei put away the tape that was wrapped around her chest and coughed awkwardly.

“It’s nothing…” she replied.

Bai Qiuran glanced at her up and down.

“It seems,” he said, grinning, “that you have found its most useful feature… Yes, if you are in a good mood, you could also use it to measure your chest… eh, the progress of your Creator’s Body-Forging Technique. Speaking of which, what level have you reached?”

“Twentieth layer.”

Tang Ruowei said bitterly.

“I’ve been stuck for more than a year.”

“Work harder. Remember that you have to reach the 50th layer, and the higher layer you reach, the more difficult it becomes.”

Bai Qiuran handed the book she had taken out to Tang Ruowei.

“This time I have some business, so I can’t teach you personally. The palm and swordsmanship are all in here, so you can practice it by yourself…If you don’t understand, ask the sect leader and the elders; they’ll make things clear for you.”

Just as he ordered, a girl called suddenly from outside Bai Qiuran’s door.

“Is the Senior Sword Patriarch here? Li Jinyao of Heavenly Demon Sect begs to see you.”

“Miss Li?”

Bai Qiuran looked at Tang Ruowei

“What’s she doing here?” he muttered.

“Who knows?” Tang Ruowei turned her head and said, scratching her face.

After a moment, Li Jinyao shouted again, perhaps because there was no response from inside.

“Is Ruowei inside? This sister has come to you to discuss something important!”

“Miss Li.”

Bai Qiuran answered:

“Ruowei is here, let’s come in.”

Hearing Bai Qiuran’s response, Li Jinyao quickly ran in. Seeing Bai Qiuran, she eagerly greeted him.

“h.e.l.lo, Senior Sword Patriarch, I am very happy to see you.”

Then she turned her head again and greeted Tang Ruowei:

“Sister Ruowei, you are here.”

“Are you looking for something to do with her?”

Bai Qiuran nodded, “Then this old man won’t be here to disturb the girls’ chatting… I’ll go out first.”

“Wait, Senior Sword Patriarch! You won’t get in the way.”

Li Jinyao stopped him quickly.

“These are not important things. Besides, I have something to do with the Senior Sword Patriarch.”

“Okay, I actually am looking for you too… Wait a minute.”

As Bai Qiuran was talking, he began to look in his storage bag again.

“Ms. Li looks very happy today, is there anything good I need to know about?” he asked.

“Yes, yes.”

Li Jinyao nodded and said, for it was such good news, she seemed to be happy to share it with others.

“I just broke through the Deity Transformation stage yesterday, and then I competed with Master, and finally beat Master once in blade skills.”

“Huh? Did Ji Lingyun lose to you?” Bai Qiuran asked, stunned.

“Yes, she took Grandmaster Huangfu out to drink today, crying and laughing at the wine table, they looked funny,” Li Jinyao said very rebellious things with a bright and happy face.

“What useless trash. She actually became a wave on the beach much earlier than Jue Yunzi.”

Bai Qiuran took out a pair of double blades from the storage bag.

“Then I will give you this pair of blades… Catch!”

“How could I take something so precious…”

At this time, Li Jinyao became modest again. Even at a glance, she saw the extraordinariness in the pair of swords in Bai Qiuran’s hands.

Sometimes Bai Qiuran really felt that apart from the fact that the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect still retained the “students beat teachers” tradition, they acted less and less like demon cultivators.

“Take it, anyway, I was going to give it to whoever had the best blade technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Although Huangfu Feng has the highest cultivation level on the blade path currently, with your qualifications, it’s only a matter of time before you surpa.s.s him.”

Bai Qiuran continued.:

“This pair of blades…well, forged from the teeth of an ancient monster dragon, so its name is also called Dragon Tooth. Its spirit has just been born. You have to treat it well and make it happy. It can help you a lot.”

“I understand.”

When it was all said and done, Li Jinyao was no longer humble. She nodded, proudly accepting the pair of blades.

“So, what’s this matter? Miss Li is coming to see me?” Bai Qiuran asked again.

“Correct. I heard from Sect Master Su that the Senior Sword Patriarch is going to the depths of the wild to find opportunities recently. Jin Yao also wants to go with you.”

Li Jinyao continued, her tone serious.

“Senior Sword Patriarch, my combat power can’t compare to yours, but I’m quite confident in taking care of your daily needs along the way… I have specialized in the practice of wifely skills, including cooking, sewing, and mending…”

“That won’t work.” Bai Qiuran resolutely refused.

“You are the future star of the Heavenly Demon Sect. If anything happens to you, Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng won’t let me go easily… I don’t want to trigger a war between the righteous and demonic cultivators.”

“Don’t say that,” Li Jinyao insisted.

“What if I can do what you can’t?”

“Then tell me, what can you do that I can’t?”

Bai Qiuran thought to himself: I have pa.s.sed through many battles in my life, there is no skill that I don’t know about.

“If you can name something, I’ll take you along.”

“Master.” At this time, Tang Ruowei next to her said quietly, “You forgot that Sister Li can fly…”

“Yes, I can fly!”

Li Jinyao gave Tang Ruowei a grateful look, and then nodded, adding hurriedly,

“In case the place you want to explore is a void, and there is no place to stay, then the only way to continue is to let me fly you over.”

Hearing their answers, Bai Qiuran was speechless. He wanted to explain, but facts speak louder than words. No matter how great his strength is, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage couldn’t fly.

“Well, I can take you there.”

After being silent for a long time, Bai Qiuran finally spoke.

“Yay!”

Li Jinyao cheered and hugged Tang Ruowei.

“But—you have to listen to me!”

Bai Qiuran said again, “Don’t mess around, and…you have to swear, promise me one condition.”
