3000 Years In The Meditation Phase! - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 It Might Hurt A Little

“That’s good.”

Liu Yun clapped and smiled.

“According to the rules, the direct disciples of the elders and sect master are all dressed in red. Although Uncle-Grandmaster doesn’t have an official position in the sect, with Miss Ruowei’s current identity, everyone shouldn’t have any objections to her wearing red, right?”

“Of course not. According to seniority, we should even call her Senior Sister.”

The Third Elder, who had previously objected, also became proactive at this moment.

“Leave this to me. I’ll send her identity jade pendant and clothes as soon as possible.”

“Oh… You guys came prepared.”

Seeing the elders’ reaction, Bai Qiuran immediately understood and sneered at them.

“Not bad. Your wings have hardened.”

“We wouldn’t dare.”

The elders hurriedly apologized.

“Uncle-Grandmaster, please forgive us.”

“Forget it. In any case, I’m very free. It’s not bad to teach Miss Tang.”

Bai Qiuran looked up at Tang Ruowei.

“An earth-attribute heaven spirit root… I’m afraid all the talent of the Profound Heaven Royal Family has been gathered on you.”

“You can tell at a glance?”

Tang Ruowei said in surprise,

“I touched that stone for a long time before I found out.”

“Spirit roots are not rare. They can be recovered by eating the Heaven Mending Pill.”

“I heard that there are two heaven spirit root level experts this time. Where’s the other one?” Bai Qiuran did not care and asked.

“The other one has a golden spirit root and has been accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master.”

The Third Elder replied.

“Oh, then remember to remind Jueyun and break his pride first.”

Bai Qiuran said indifferently, “Let him understand that a heaven spirit root is nothing.”

“This… It’s not good to overdo it, right? Otherwise, it’s very easy for him to give up on himself.”

The Sixth Elder whispered.

“If you don’t even have this temperament, then why bother cultivating? He might as well go home and farm.”

Bai Qiuran glanced lazily at the elders.

“Moreover, doesn’t the Green Destiny Sword Sect still have a “useful person” like me? Hmph, do you really think I don’t know what you’re doing when you bring your disciples to stand on the cliff of your mountain peak and point at the Seven Star Peak?”

The six elders broke out in cold sweat.

“Alright, I’ve accepted the person. Are you satisfied now?”

Bai Qiuran clapped and said, “Go back. You still have to deal with the daily affairs of the Green Destiny Sword Sect.”

“But the ceremony…”

Seventh Elder Liu Yun hesitated.

“Leave it to me. Just keep everything simple.”

Bai Qiuran waved his hand impatiently.

“Also, it’s best to change the way you address her. Uncle-Grandmaster, calling her Miss Tang makes her seem very distant. It’s also not polite for you to directly call Miss Ruowei by her name.”

The Sixth Elder, Qing Yun, said again.

“I know, I know. Don’t I know these better than you?”

Bai Qjuran forced the group of elders out of the courtyard and threw the unconscious sect master to them.

“Take care and work hard. All the best.”

With that said, he closed the door.

The few elders stood at the door and looked at each other. They did not know if they had succeeded in matchmaking this time, but they did not dare to continue disturbing Bai Qiuran. They could only carry the sect master back and go back to their respective peaks.

Bai Qiuran returned to his room and continued to sit opposite Tang Ruowei.

“Ah, as soon as the elders and sect master leave, I immediately feel much more relaxed.”

Tang Ruowei sat opposite Bai Qiuran and rubbed the rough teacup in her hand.

“My seniority is higher than theirs. Why don’t you feel nervous facing me?”

Bai Qiuran smiled at her and asked.

“I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because someone forced me to drink previously.”

Tang Ruowei stared at the missing teacup and thought for a long time before suddenly saying, “Seriously, shouldn’t we change the way we address each other? I also don’t think it’s good to keep calling you by your name.”

“Alright, call me Master.”

Bai Qiuran curled her finger at her.

“Come, say it out loud for me. I’ve never heard of anything like this in my life.”

Tang Ruowei’s face turned red, but she still insisted, “So be it. Do you really think I’m

shy?”

“Then come on.”

Bai Qiuran sat up straight and looked at her calmly.

Tang Ruowei stared at his face and pondered for a long time before finally squeezing out the word.

“M-Master.”

“Hey, good girl.”

For the first time, Tang Ruowei felt that Bai Qiuran’s smile was so annoying.

“That’s not fair.”

Tang Ruowei said angrily, “You have to change the way you address me. Do you have the guts to call out my name?” “How difficult is that?”

Bai Qiuran was serious and deliberately said in an affectionate voice, “Ruowei.”

With a whoosh, Tang Ruowei’s face directly turned red to the roots of her ears.

“I-I’m going to the toilet.”

The girl stood up, her face flushed.

“Where’s the toilet?”

“Go out and turn left.”

Bai Qiuran replied indifferently.

Tang Ruowei covered her face and fled as if she was flying

Seeing this, Bai Qiuran sneered and said, “Hmph, do you think I’ve lived for nothing for the past three thousand years? If I get serious, which girl can last ten minutes in front of me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qiuran suddenly felt a sadness in the depths of her heart.

“Eh, something seems to be wrong with what I said just now. Why does my heart hurt…”

The Third Elder was very efficient. Soon, he sent someone to deliver the jade pendant and sect uniform to Tang Ruowei as a symbol of her status as a disciple of the Green Destiny Sword Sect. At the same time, he expanded Bai Qiuran’s small courtyard slightly and added a boudoir and a cultivation ground for Tang Ruowei to meditate.

Bai Qiuran then brought Tang Ruowei to a simple apprenticeship ceremony. After that, Tang Ruowei could be considered to have become his disciple and became his first official disciple in more than 3,000 years.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Bai Qiuran did not waste any time and immediately began to teach.

He brought Tang Ruowei to the newly repaired cultivation field. The two of them sat opposite each other on the wooden floor with cushions.

Then, Bai Qiuran asked, “Ruowei, do you know what’s most important at the beginning of the cultivation path?”

After staying here for two days, Tang Ruowei, who had repeatedly heard Bai Qiuran call her by her name, no longer reacted to it. Hearing Bai Qiuran’s question, she replied with a normal expression, “Master, is it one’s foundation?”

“Although the foundation is important, it’s not the most important thing.”

Bai Qiuran answered, “The path of cultivation is like building a tall building. One’s aptitude determines the speed at which they obtain the materials. However, this path can be developed through hard work. If you want a tall building to be sturdy enough, one has to build a good foundation. This foundation is your body itself. If you want to build a good foundation, the simplest way is to train a good body.”

“But Master, I’ve been cultivating the Black Dragon Technique of our Profound Heaven Royal Family since I was six years old. I think my physique is already much better than ordinary mortals.”

“It’s not enough. Don’t underestimate cultivation. With this bit of quality, it’s not enough to support a tall building.”

Bai Qiuran looked at Tang Ruowei with a complicated expression.

“Since you’re my disciple, I naturally have to be responsible for sending you further. You’ll definitely be able to reach a higher realm than me. The cultivation technique you cultivate is also in the Green Destiny Sword Sect’s library. It’s indeed enough to be the country-protecting divine technique of a mortal country. However, when it comes to cultivation, it’s not profound enough in terms of internal energy. It’s also not enough in terms of external skills. It tries to cover both but fails. It won’t be able to support your cultivation.”

“So…”

“What should I do now?” Tang Ruowei asked curiously.

“Yes, there’s only one way. Give me your hand.”

Bai Qiuran reached out and pulled Tang Ruowei’s soft palm.

“Ruowei, it might hurt a little later. Don’t resent me.”
