Chapter 63 Worshiping Ancestors Without Meeting Them

Upon first seeing Yan, her junior brothers, who had initially been calm, suddenly became murderous.

If Chu Jianyan hadn't poured them tea to calm their tempers, they probably would have already exploded.

After Chu Jianyan finished speaking, Lin Jinyao slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"No!" Lin Jinyao looked at Chu Jianyan's curvaceous figure with envy and confusion, "I'm so envious of your figure! Fat??? How dare he say that?! Is he blinded by something filthy??"

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Youqing coughed after taking a sip of tea.

I never would have guessed that my second senior sister was so easy to scold!

Shen Xingzhi raised her hand and patted Shen Youqing's back, saying, "It's just that man's inferiority complex. He knows he's not good enough for Fellow Daoist Chu, so he can only use this method to belittle and suppress him."

Shen Xingzhi shook her head, then asked, "Where is he? I'll go and give him a couple of sword strikes."

"I reckon it's inside the Qingyu Sect's punishment hall," Shen Quelin's cold voice drifted over.

Shen Xingzhi glanced back, her eyes filled with regret.

Seeing the group of people who were so empathetic and furious, Chu Jianyan smiled and said, "I did hit them. I couldn't hold back. The first thing I did after getting the resources back was to go shopping for dresses with Junior Sister Youqing. These dresses were all chosen by Junior Sister Youqing and me."

"That's more like it." Lin Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more comfortable.

Shen Xingzhi nodded, "Beautiful! Congratulations on your transformation!"

"Thank you." Chu Jianyan smiled gently.

Jiang Xuan'an and several of his close disciples were already plotting how to beat the man half to death.

After Chu Jianyan finished talking about this stumbling block, Lin Jinyao began to talk about the stumbling blocks she had encountered.

Xiao Ke sat there quietly, barely noticeable.

He held his teacup, taking sips of tea every now and then, and glancing at Shen Youqing every now and then.

As Lin Jinyao spoke, Shen Youqing and the others listened attentively, and after they finished, they began to express their opinions.

For a time, laughter and chatter filled the courtyard.

……

If Jiang Chenying hadn't come over to remind them that it was already past midnight and they should go to rest, the group of them probably would have talked all night.

The next day.

Shen Youqing got up at Chenshi (7-9 AM), tidied up, washed up, and went to knock on the door.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Ke, dressed neatly, opened the door and came out.

Shen Youqing took out a jade slip and handed it over.

“This was sent by the elders on my uncle’s orders,” Shen Youqing said. “First, memorize the technique, then jog slowly with the iron bag strapped to your body.”

Xiao Ke took the jade slip; Shen Youqing's body heat still lingered on it.

She had a great time chatting with her second senior sister and the others last night, and thought she would forget about it, but she remembered.

His long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles gripped the jade slip tightly, and his heart suddenly skipped a few beats.

Xiao Ke responded and then began to study the cultivation technique.

After reading it once, the technique was imprinted in his mind. Xiao Ke said, "I've memorized it."

After saying that, he put away the jade slip and began to tie iron bags to his legs.

Just as Shen Youqing finished tying up the iron bag and was about to go for a workout, Shen suddenly stopped.

Early in the morning, the three of them started running with weights in the yard to exercise.

For an alchemist, the pain of the first body tempering is almost unbearable.

After running three laps around the yard, Xiao Ke felt his legs were so heavy he could barely move. He was panting, and sweat kept sliding down his forehead.

Shen Youqing stopped beside Xiao Ke and said, "Senior brother, adjust your breathing, circulate your energy, and start running slowly."

Xiao Ke looked at the aloof and serious Shen Youqing, responded, and then took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Shen Quelin ran over and saw this scene. He scoffed and ran away.

Shen Youqing glanced at the bewildered Shen Quelin, then adjusted his pace and jogged alongside Xiao Ke.

After running two more laps, Xiao Ke, unable to continue, stopped and was about to sit down to rest when Shen Youqing pulled him back.

"We can't rest right away, let's walk around for a bit." Shen Youqing exerted a little force, dragging Xiao Ke forward.

Xiao Ke gasped, "I have no strength." "No," Shen Youqing said, pulling Xiao Ke's arm as they walked. "You have to walk at least half a lap before you can rest. After resting for a while, you need to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse your meridians and marrow, and then use the Foundation Strengthening Pill to consolidate your foundation."

This feeling... is novel and fascinating.

Xiao Ke's eyes were deep. He stared at the hand on his arm for a long while before finally replying, "Okay."

After walking halfway around, Shen Youqing sent the person away to undergo a cleansing and marrow-refining process.

Xiao Ke returned to his room to cleanse his body and marrow, while Shen Youqing continued his physical training.

The third quarter of the hour of Si (9:45 AM).

After finishing his body-training, Shen Youqing tidied up and then went out.

When Xiao Ke came out of the house, he saw Shen Quelin practicing basic sword moves in the courtyard.

School grounds.

The disciples of the other sects were all cultivating, while Zhang Youli stood to the side with his hands behind his back, watching.

"Sect Leader Zhang." Shen Youqing stepped forward, raised his hand, and bowed in greeting.

Zhang Youli glanced at Shen Youqing, and an alarm bell instantly rang in his mind.

What's this troublemaker doing here?
Zhang Youli waved his hand, then asked in a cold and authoritative tone, "What is it?"

"Sect Leader Zhang, may I go to the library?"

Looking at the well-mannered Shen Youqing, Zhang Youli began to worry about the books in the library. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to the library for?"

"I'd like to learn about the ancestor of the Qingyu Sect, Bufeng," Shen Youqing said.

However, Zhang Youli's concerns were not without reason, after all, she had indeed burned down the library in a fit of anger in her previous life.

Zhang Youli never expected that Shen Youqing wanted to go to the library for this reason.

Shen Youqing looked up and met Zhang Youli's somewhat complicated gaze, and said, "Sect Leader Zhang, are you trying to ask me why I want to find out?"

Zhang Youli nodded.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle," Shen Youqing said frankly.

The Unfavorable Realm is the place where the Unfavorable Ancestor fell. Knowing more about the Unfavorable Ancestor can help you avoid many dangers when entering the realm.

What's this called? If you don't have the skills, make up for it with your brains!
Zhang Youli gave Shen Youqing a deep look, "Come with me."

Shen Youqing was puzzled, but still followed Zhang Youli away from Erjie Peak.

Province Wufeng.

Zhang Youli led Shen Youqing to a place that resembled an ancestral hall.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees countless memorial tablets enshrined directly in front, surrounded by ever-burning candles.

Zhang Youli stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Without needing to be reminded, Shen Youqing stepped forward, knelt on the prayer mat, and bowed, saying, "Junior Shen Youqing of the Hehuan Sect greets all seniors."

Zhang Youli put down his hand, walked over, and began to replace the candle flame that was about to burn out.

“Our ancestor Bu Feng was the 303rd sect leader of the Qingyu Sect, and also the third female sect leader of the Qingyu Sect.” Zhang Youli placed the three lit incense sticks into the incense burner.

Shen Youqing stood up and stood properly.

"She was an extremely skilled alchemist. The Enlightenment Pill was created by this ancestor. She was also a high-level talisman master."

Zhang Youli glanced at Shen Youqing, his authoritative and cold voice echoing in the empty and silent hall.

Shen Youqing was a bit eccentric and domineering, but she was polite and knew her limits.

"The reason why my ancestors did not perish was not because their lifespan was nearing its end, but because..."

The sound abruptly stopped just as it was reaching its crucial point.

Shen Youqing turned around and looked in the direction of Zhang Youli's gaze.

"Master." Jiang Chenying raised her hand in a salute.

Zhang Youli responded, and after Jiang Chenying walked in, he asked in a low voice, "What brings you here?"

"I went to the library to learn about the life of our ancestor Bufeng, and then I thought I'd come here to offer incense and pay my respects," Jiang Chenying replied.

Zhang Youli grunted in agreement.
