3000 Years In The Meditation Phase! - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Bitter Wine Hurts

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

Bai Qiuran sat on the stairs at the entrance of the sect master’s residence and raised his head to pour a bottle of high-intensity liquor into his stomach like he was drinking water.

Then, he lowered his head with tears flowing down his face and roared, “Damn it! She’s at the Foundation Establishment realm! She only used six years to reach the Foundation Establishment realm!”

Jue Yunzi looked at the dozen or so empty wine jars rolling around in his courtyard and said slowly, “Uncle-Grandmaster, Don’t drink So…”

“Shut up! Can you understand the pain in my heart now? You bastard at the Body Integration Realm!”

With a crisp sound, Bai Qiuran threw the wine jar in his hand to the wall and covered his heart with his hand.

“I’ve long expected this day to come. I just didn’t expect it to come so early. It’s only natural for my master’s realm to be higher than mine. At most, my senior brothers and junior brothers only surpassed me in realm due to my poor aptitude. In the past three thousand years, I didn’t take a single disciple because I was afraid of something like this happening. Have I finally been surpassed by the disciple I personally taught?”

He then picked up a jar of immortal wine refined from precious immortal grass beside him and opened the lid of the wine jar as he said, “Sigh, my heart hurts when the bitter wine enters my throat.”

With that said, Bai Qiuran gulped down the immortal wine worth thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

Jue Yunzi watched as the immortal wine was wasted like that. Although the immortal wine was not his, his heart still ached. He decided that he might as well look away and not worry. After bidding farewell, he left his courtyard to his senior to drown his worries. Then, he walked out of the door alone and stared blankly at the bright moon that had been hanging high in the Green Destiny Sword Sect for thousands of years.

A moment later, the Sixth Elder brought Tang Ruowei over from the foot of the mountain. When he saw them, Jue Yunzi’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly welcomed them.

“Junior Sister, Martial Aunt Ruowei, you’re finally here.”

Because of their seniority, other than Bai Qiuran, the person with the highest seniority in the sect was Tang Ruowei, whom Bai Qiuran had taken in as his disciple. Even the Grand Elder had to address her as Senior Sister or even Martial Aunt after coming out of seclusion.

“Sect Master.”

Tang Ruowei was very smart and was not arrogant because of her seniority.

She bowed politely to Jue Yunzi and asked, “Where’s my master?”

“He’s drinking and crying in my courtyard.”

At the mention of this, Jue Yunzi’s felt his heart ache again.

“Since he came to me, he has already drunk almost 30,000 high-grade spirit stones worth of immortal wine.”

“What? So wasteful? Why is he acting like a child?”

Tang Ruowei rolled up her sleeves and walked to the courtyard door.

“I’ll persuade him to return.”

“Yes, yes.”

Jue Yunzi hurriedly nodded and gave a thumbs up.

“Martial Aunt Ruowei is still the most reliable.”

Because of their age, Bai Qiuran had basically watched the people of Jue Yunzi’s generation grow up. They had also been beaten up a lot by Bai Qiuran when they were young. Of course, Bai Qiuran would definitely not be soft-hearted until now. Even the sixth and seventh elders, who were girls, were no exception.

However, Tang Ruowei was different. Perhaps it was because of her identity as a personal disciple, but Bai Qiuran, who advocated “gender equality”, had never beat her before.

The two of them continued to bicker and poke at each other’s sensitive spots.

Therefore, only Tang Ruowei dared to persuade Bai Qiuran when he was making a scene. Other than her, even the Grand Elder Zhu Feng, who was in seclusion, would probably be beaten up by Bai Qiuran. Under Jue Yunzi and Qing Yun’s expectant gazes, Tang Ruowei pushed open the courtyard door with a bang. Immediately, a dense and fragrant alcohol smell greeted them.

Just by smelling the alcohol, Tang Ruowei felt the Foundation Establishment True Essence that had just formed in her body become more condensed. From this, she could determine the level of these immortal wines. Then, she saw the empty wine jars all over the courtyard and her white-haired master who was hugging the wine jar and looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze and muttering non-stop.

“Ah, Ruowei.”

Seeing her push the door open and enter, Bai Qiuran’s eyes were filled with tears.

“You’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm. Really, congratulations…”

Seeing him like this, Tang Ruowei was furious.

“Are you crazy? I’m your disciple. Didn’t my breakthrough show that you taught me well? Shouldn’t you be happy? Why did you come to the Sect Master to drink and cry?”

Her shout shocked Jue Yunzi and Qing Yun, who were hiding at the door to watch. Then, the sect master and elder looked at her in admiration.

“I am happy.”

Bai Qiuran covered his face and shook his head.

“I’m so happy that I want to cry…” “Then does the bet still count?”

Tang Ruowei raised her eyebrows.

“Yes, of course.”

Bai Qiuran still covered her face.

“I, Bai Qiuran, have never gone back on my word.”

“Alright then.”

Tang Ruowei walked to Bai Qiuran’s side, stretched out her hands, and tried her best to drag him up.

“Follow me back to the Seven Stars Peak.”

“What are you doing?”

Bai Qiuran asked, “Is this your request?’”

“Of course not. I’m not stupid.”

The girl rolled her eyes at him.

“However, have you forgotten the other agreement? I want that top-grade flying sword now! Hurry up and go back and refine

it!”

“Sigh, wait, don’t pull me. It’s inappropriate for men and women to touch each other. I can walk myself!”

The master and disciple left the sect master’s courtyard and returned to the Seven Star Peak. Seeing this, Qing Yun smiled and said,

“Ruowei is really impressive. If Uncle-Grandmaster is unwilling to cooperate in the future, we’ll ask her for help.”

“Yeah.”

Jue Yunzi nodded in agreement. “Impressive.”

After returning to the Seven Star Peak, Tang Ruowei immediately put away all the immortal wine on Bai Qiuran’s body and chased him into his weapon refinement room.

Today, Bai Qiuran felt that this little girl was especially domineering. When he faced her, he actually felt that he was in the wrong and could not resist. When he returned to his senses, he had already prepared the materials and was sitting cross-legged in front of the furnace.

Was this the natural psychological suppression of the Foundation Establishment realm on the Qi Refinement realm?

Bai Qiuran was shocked in his heart, but it was indeed as he had said previously. He did not plan to go back on his word.

As early as when Tang Ruowei broke through to the first level of the Qi Refinement realm, he had already begun to gather these materials.

He had gathered the Black Magnet of the West Earth, the Black Crystal of the Heavenly Sea, and the Demon Meteorite Iron of the Wilderness. These were the most rare and precious materials in the cultivation world.

Bai Qiuran snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared on his fingertip. The flame was scarlet, but the heart of the flame was slightly black.

This was the inextinguishable fire refined by his Fire Seal. Because he could not reach the Foundation Establishment realm and was stuck at the Qi Refinement realm, Bai Qiuran could not use many special skills that could only be used by people at the Foundation Establishment realm.

In order to make up for his combat ability and more importantly, in order to make himself look more like a cultivator, Bai Qiuran took a different path and learned many things that could be learned without the Foundation Establishment realm. The seal technique was one of them.

For the various Great Dao in the world, one could basically rely on hand seals to use related abilities. However, although the power of the hand seals was not inferior to spells of the same attribute, they were difficult to master and required a lot of time and effort. One also needed energy seeds of the same attribute to guide them.

However, Bai Qiuran did not lack time and energy at all. Moreover, he had also found the best energy seeds in many years.

For example, this fire seal was cultivated by Bai Qiuran after he had forced a demon phoenix in the wilderness to spit out a trace of the true fire in its body.

Compared to the Origin Flame, there were more things and better stuff he could do with the Fire Seal. He didn’t even need to refine the Origin Flame, which was something only Golden Core Realm cultivators could do.

For example, refining weapons.

After injecting the inextinguishable flame on his fingertip into the furnace through the Fire Seal, Bai Qiuran began to build a new flying sword for Tang Ruowei.

The idea of the flying sword that he had thought about day and night for 3,000 years had now transformed into countless seal formations that constantly struck the materials that had already turned into a ball of liquid in the furnace.

After constant tempering and purification, the embryonic form of a crystal flying sword gradually appeared in the furnace.
