Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

And the dragon tail and dragon horns also grew after awakening at that time.

Although,

this time the scene wasn’t as big as before,

still, as long as Qing Jun awakens any talent, her enhancement is extremely strong.

”Master, Qing Jun’s aura must not be leaked!”

Zhiwei’s tone was solemn. Although she didn’t know what changes Qing Jun was experiencing, she could already sense the unusual pressure from her junior sister.

”Hmm, step back, guard the formation’s core.”

Chen Ye’s expression turned serious, his hands swiftly forming several complicated Dharma Seals, imposing heavy Restrictions!

This was the Greedy Ridge that devoured people without leaving a trace!

If even a bit of this True Dragon aura leaks out, not to mention those Demon Cultivators spying outside, even those Golden Core old monsters in Wuyang Palace would rush in like flies smelling blood!

Fortunately,

though the little girl was fast asleep, her subconscious knew to consider her master, instinctively retracting her aura, perfectly synchronized with the master’s Restrictions. Once outside Cold Scale Mansion’s gate, the backyard’s anomalies would be unnoticed.

Approximately a stick of incense time later.

In the worried gaze of master and senior sister,

the little girl by the spring showed signs of waking up. She grunted softly, her body stretching out in sleep.

”Hoo—”

The dense spiritual mist around, like a giant whale drinking water, was all absorbed into her body through her mouth and nose.

At this moment, behind the girl, a silver True Dragon’s phantom spanning eternity and looking down upon the world faintly appeared!

The phantom lasted less than half a breath before morphing into a streak of Flowing Light, merging into her spine.

The pair of crystal-like dragon horns and little tail also retracted, reverting to the original fair and tender appearance of the little girl.

But...

”Crack.”

Qing Jun turned over, and the hard green stone she used as a bed cracked deeply like tofu under her unconscious pressure.

”Hiss!”

The master who hadn’t inhaled sharply earlier now couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

How can this be!

How will the master carry the little dumpling in the future?

”Ugh...”

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, sitting up slowly.

She hadn’t fully woken up, letting out a long, satisfied belch.

”Burp—!”

A faint silver light spewed from her mouth, smashing another large green stone in front to bits!

Qing Jun herself was stunned, her little tuft of hair wobbling in the night breeze.

”Wow!! Qing Jun is so awesome!”

The little girl excitedly raised her little fist, looking at the powder on the ground, then looked up at Chen Ye, her eyes sparkling as she shouted,

”Master! I feel so strong now! I feel like I can knock sister flying with one blow!”

Zhiwei: ”...”

Chen Ye glared at the girl in exasperation,

This girl is too naughty; the first thing after waking up was to think of hitting her sister!

He casually flicked Qing Jun’s forehead, resulting in a heavy ”thud” that hurt his finger!

Instead of the master complaining about his pain, the girl instead cried out first.

”Ouch!”

Qing Jun covered her forehead, looking at her master with grievances,

”Master is bad! Master always hits Qing Jun! What did Qing Jun do to you? Awful master, just wait until Qing Jun grows up!”

Chen Ye was stunned upon hearing this.

Day after day, this girl only knows how to threaten the master.

Is the disciple’s childhood really the master’s old age?

”Once you grow up, you’ll still have to cook for the master, won’t you?”

Chen Ye quickly warned the sinister little dragon,

”What do you plan to do when you grow up? Don’t want to cook for the master anymore?”

The little girl’s mind went blank for a moment, she bit her finger, muttering:

”Cooking for the master, that’s necessary, but... but Qing Jun still wants revenge...”

”Hmm??” The master’s face changed.

”Oh no, what Qing Jun means is revenge on those who bullied the master!” The little girl quickly corrected herself.

But the master could still see through the girl’s mischievous intentions.

Oh well,

let it be, considering she wouldn’t dare go too far in the future.

Chen Ye glared at Qing Jun but was too lazy to say more, taking hold of his disciple’s little hand, checking her cultivation.

As he expected,

Qing Jun was now at Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Moreover, this awakening brought an added ability, the previous silver beam.

This silver beam’s destructive power is incredibly immense, currently equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer Technique.

The lethality is secondary,

the most terrifying thing is, there’s absolutely no casting delay, and it even has a certain spell-breaking ability. Using it for ambushes, even a Foundation Establishment Late Period cultivator caught off guard might find themselves in regret on the spot.

”This spit of yours... cough, this silver glow is quite the formidable ability.”

Chen Ye released his hand, squeezed her chubby cheek warningly, and said seriously,

”But in the Emotion Crossing Sect, this ability is your trump card. In the future, don’t burp casually, and definitely don’t burp at your senior sisters, understand?”

Qing Jun nodded somewhat understandingly, her hair bouncing up and down: ”Then what about bad people?”

”Bad people?” A trace of coldness flashed in Chen Ye’s eyes, and he smirked slightly, ”For bad people, spit right at their foreheads, spit to death.”

Zhiwei, watching the pair of mischievous master and disciple from the side, shook her head helplessly.

She suspected,

Qing Jun turning into a Demon Pill had something to do with her master!

”Alright, it’s getting late, everyone should go rest.”

Chen Ye set aside the joking tone, stood up, and instructed,

”Zhiwei, take your second junior sister back to her room, supervise her as she performs several circulations of the Heart Method to consolidate her realm. I need to go to the Quiet Chamber to start alchemy.”

”Yes, Master.”

Zhiwei responded respectfully, stepping forward to grab the still-enjoying-her-newfound-strength Qing Jun, and walked towards the side room.

The little girl opened her mouth as she walked, trying to burp again, but unfortunately, only a small puff of air came out, leaving her frustrated.

Though she had grasped this technique, she was still a beginner and needed time to practice and master it.

...

Inside the Quiet Chamber, the ground fire blazed.

Chen Ye sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, his expression focused.

He couldn’t afford not to be focused.

Condensation Pills were expensive, and Chen Ye had spent all his private savings to buy only four sets of ingredients.

Although,

only three pills per batch were enough for Chen Ye to earn a huge amount of Spirit Stones.

Who wouldn’t want to earn more?

”Hope today’s pill refining will yield a few more.”

Chen Ye thought to himself.

The night passed in silence.

Only the Pill Furnace boiled continuously, the fragrance of the medicine wafting everywhere.

The next day.

Chen Ye slapped the Pill Furnace.

”Open!”

The lid of the furnace flew open, and four Condensation Pills flew out, landing in a jade bottle.

Seeing an extra one, Chen Ye’s face lit up with joy.

This meant he made an additional nine hundred Spirit Stones!

However, Chen Ye wasn’t planning to sell the Condensation Pills just yet; they were crucial for his cultivation, requiring him to use one each day.

He expected that after about half a month, he would smoothly break through to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

That’s the power of spending big!

The half month’s worth of Condensation Pills amounted to around fourteen thousand Spirit Stones!

In fact,

ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Period cultivators could only take one pill every few days, one reason being limited wealth, and another being the need for gradual digestion.

Yet Chen Ye was different from others,

he had a grand circulation within, and also practiced the Life and Death Profound Light scroll and Evergreen Technique, techniques full of vitality, with an exceptional ability to accommodate and digest Spiritual Power, hence he could digest one pill per day.

Furthermore, the higher quality the pills Chen Ye refined, the fewer the side effects.

Chen Ye swallowed a Condensation Pill and put the jade bottle away.

The sky outside was already bright.

Zhiwei was holding a broom, meticulously sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

It’s her old habit.

Though cultivators could easily resolve it with a Dust Removal Technique, she preferred hands-on work. It was the same at Cangli Courtyard before.

Meanwhile, Qing Jun, who had quite the exhausting night, was still sound asleep, consolidating her realm.

Jin’er was still in closed cultivation, a few more days, and it should be her turn to break through.

”Master.” Hearing the commotion, Zhiwei stopped her actions and bowed respectfully.

”Hmm, I’m heading out for a bit. In a few days, I might need to take another trip.”

Chen Ye explained everything to Zhiwei.

The black-haired girl pursed her lips: ”Can’t I accompany Master?”

”Silly disciple, you’re usually so smart, why act foolish now.”

Chen Ye sighed,

”I’m going as a guide, can’t just bring everyone along for that, can I? But, this trip won’t take long, the Huayue Mansion task only allows three days.”

Three days were within Chen Ye’s acceptable range.

If it were any longer, forget about the disciples being unable to bear it; Chen Ye himself wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

After all,

the three disciples were now in the Emotion Crossing Sect, surrounded by wolves. If Chen Ye was absent too long, he would naturally worry.
