Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 213 Master and Disciple
The next day, Yun Ying prepared to meet Shi Xiaoqin. Since she had already agreed to teach her seriously after returning, it would be natural for the sooner she started, the better.

Now, the little girl Shi Xiaoqin is almost seven years old, and it is time for her to start practicing.

"I'm going to the Stone Tribe to see Xiaoqin. I won't be back often, so I'll leave this place to you."

Yun Ying said something to the Immortal Taoist Body, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Elder Yun!"

Several guards saw Yun Ying coming out and saluted respectfully. They had endless respect for the youngest Immortal King in history.

Yun Ying nodded slightly to the few people and flew away.

After coming out, Yun Ying did not go directly to find Shi Xiaoqin, but first came to a sacred mountain.

This is the residence of the gods. She hasn't been back for several years, so naturally she has to go visit the elders of the clan first.

When you come to the mountain and look over, you will see a lush and green vegetable garden, which gives you a feeling of vitality.

Outside the house, there was an old man lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, looking very comfortable.

However, the smell of decay from the old man was becoming stronger and stronger, which meant that the old man’s life span was not long.

Hearing the footsteps, Lao Tianren opened his eyes, took a look, and immediately sat up, "Xiao Yunying is back!"

Immediately, the God got up and made tea, with a big smile and a kind look on his face.

"Ancestor."

Yun Ying was not restrained or polite. She sat down casually and watched the old man make tea.

After a while, the aroma of tea filled the air. The old man first poured a cup for Yunying, and then poured tea for himself.

"Has the threat from foreign enemies been quelled?"

The old man in heaven asked, his mood became increasingly peaceful, and when he spoke, there was an aura that was in harmony with the Tao of heaven and earth.

Yun Ying shook her head, "Not even a little bit."

After hearing Yunying's answer, Laotianren did not ask any further questions. He knew that Yunying would handle everything.

The youngest Immortal King in history appeared in the Celestial Clan. Even the old Celestials laughed for a long time when they heard the news.

How could the Celestial Clan not prosper when an Immortal King appeared? Compared with this, the glory of the ancient times was nothing.

"Grandfather, I have a daughter named Xiao Zi, her full name is Yun Zi."

Then, Yunying spoke.

"Pfft...cough cough, Xiao Yunying, what did you just say, daughter? You have a daughter!"

The old man choked before he could even finish his sip of tea. His expression changed drastically, and he looked one of disbelief.

He felt a little confused. Whose kid was it that actually stole his own cabbage?

"Yes, but it's not what you think, Old Ancestor. Xiao Zi was adopted by me, and her identity is somewhat special..."

Yun Ying understood that the ancestor must have had the wrong idea, so she began to explain.

After listening to Yunying's explanation, the old man's excited heart calmed down a lot.

"That's right. Who in the world is worthy of Xiao Yunying?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Xiao Zi's identity, he couldn't help but be shocked. An elixir of immortality that was made possible by Yun Ying's efforts was very scary.

"Xiao Zi is my daughter now. She is practicing in Zhengtian Palace. You can go see her when you have time, ancestor."

Yunying continued.

"I don't have many years left to live, so it's not very important whether you see me or not. It's better for me to walk this last part of my journey alone."

The old man thought about it and shook his head. He could feel that his end was near and he would pass away perhaps in just five years.

"Why should you be so relieved, Old Ancestor? You have already broken through, haven't you?"

Yun Ying looked at the old man and saw through his soul.

Over the years, Lao Tianren has been living a peaceful life here. He has let go of the burden in his heart, his thoughts are clear, his state of mind has improved, and so has his realm.

It can be said that Lao Tianren’s realm has surpassed the level of killing me and reached the level of escaping.

It’s a pity that his body is finally exhausted. Without a rare elixir, it would be difficult to revive it.

However, the old man did not want to use the elixir of life fruit in Yunying's hand. That was the essence of Xiaozi's medicinal power, equivalent to her blood.

He used to think it was a waste and didn’t want to take it, but now that Xiao Zi is Yun Ying’s daughter, he will be even less likely to use it.

In fact, when he heard that Yunying had a daughter, Lao Tianren really wanted to continue living, but after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up.

Yun Ying also saw through the old man's thoughts and found it a little funny. Is there no other way except the elixir of life fruit?
As the Immortal King, is she just a decoration sitting here?
"Ancestor, I know what you are thinking. This is the elixir I made myself. Take it once you have figured it out."

Yunying stood up, put a jade bottle on the table, then turned and went down the mountain.

Looking at Yunying's leaving back, the old man smiled and shook his head. He really couldn't hide it from this girl.

The old man in heaven looked at the jade bottle on the table for a long time.

Finally, the god seemed to have figured something out. He reached out and took the jade bottle, then turned and walked into the house.

"In that case, the old man should live a little longer."

The old voice rose with the wind, carrying a hint of relief.

In the distance, Yun Ying, who had just walked down Lingshan Mountain, seemed to have heard the voice and smiled.

Only by living can you see more beauty.

The Imperial City is like a big world, with mountains, rivers, and all kinds of things. It is larger than the eight realms of the lower world.

The Stone Clan is a small tribe in the Imperial City. They no longer have the glory of the past. The name of sin and blood has bound them for nearly an era.

During this period, the Shi Clan was settled in the vast mountains and forests with a low status. All the adult monks in the clan were conscripted and died in battle outside the Great Wall.

However, the Stone Clan has now been rehabilitated, their sins have been cleared, and they will never suffer such a fate again.

The top leaders of Diguan also considered changing the Shi clan’s land, but the people of the Shi clan refused. They have been used to it for so many years.

By the stream, a group of children appeared. Some of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, breathing in and out, meditating, some were practicing magic, and some were playing.

Among the children who were practicing, there was a little girl who was holding an iron sword and practicing the most basic swordsmanship.

This little girl is Shi Xiaoqin. It has been more than a year since Yun Ying accepted her as his apprentice.

When they first returned to Diguan, Shi Hao baptized her and some children of the same age to strengthen their foundation.

Afterwards, Shi Hao stayed here for a while and taught them how to practice. During that time, he also gave some special advice to Shi Xiaoqin, telling her not to rush into practicing magic, but to focus on strengthening her physique and then practicing basic swordsmanship.

This was also to prepare her to learn sword from Yun Ying. As Yun Ying's disciple, she couldn't not practice swordsmanship. It would be inappropriate if this got out.

Now, Shi Xiaoqin followed Shi Hao's instructions, and in addition to strengthening her physique every day, she practiced basic swordsmanship.

At some point, a graceful figure quietly appeared not far away, quietly watching the little girl swinging the sword.

That person was Yun Ying. She just watched the little girl practice swordsmanship for a long time.

"Not bad, it looks somewhat decent," Yun Ying spoke after she had almost finished looking at it.

Hearing this somewhat distant yet familiar voice, Shi Xiaoqin stopped what she was doing and looked over there abruptly, "Sister Fairy!"

Seeing that beautiful figure, Shi Xiaoqin was very excited. She trotted over with her sword and came to Yunying. "Long time no see, Xiaoqin."

Yun Ying looked at her little disciple, smiled gently, and touched her little head with her delicate hand.

When I first met her, the little girl was wearing animal skins, was dirty, thin and small, and seemed to be malnourished.

Now, he has grown taller and stronger. He wears a martial arts robe and has a pair of ponytails, and looks very energetic.

"Sister Fairy, you are finally back. Can you teach me how to use the sword?"

Shi Xiaoqin blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Yun Ying expectantly.

During the time she had been in Diguan, she had heard a lot about Yunying's deeds and realized how powerful the Fairy Sister she was talking about was.

She killed the Supreme, slew the immortals, and even the Immortal King from foreign lands fell in her hands. Moreover, she was the youngest Immortal King in history.

With so many brilliant achievements, Shi Xiaoqin's admiration for this fairy sister reached its peak.

"Of course, I'm here to find you. Are you ready to learn sword skills from me?"

Yunying smiled and pinched the little girl's face.

"Yes, please teach me, Fairy Sister. I want to be as powerful as Fairy Sister!"

Shi Xiaoqin nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, let's start now."

Yunying nodded, and without further ado, began to teach.

"I see that you have practiced basic swordsmanship almost enough, so try to use basic swordsmanship to attack me, and I will also use basic swordsmanship to defend and counterattack."

Yun Ying broke off a branch, walked to the open space and said to Shi Xiaoqin.

"Well, Sister Fairy, here I come."

Shi Xiaoqin suppressed the tension in her heart, took a deep breath, focused her eyes, raised the iron sword in her hand, and attacked Yun Ying cleanly and efficiently.

clang!clang!clang!
The iron sword hit the branch, making a crisp sound, just like the collision of swords.

Shi Xiaoqin used basic swordsmanship to continuously attack Yun Ying. Her basic swordsmanship was well-trained and each of her moves was very accurate.

Yun Ying stood in place, shaking the branch in her hand, seemingly in a random manner, but she was able to firmly neutralize Shi Xiaoqin's attack.

"The foundation is very solid, but lacks some flexibility, which results in the moves being too rigid."

Through Shi Xiaoqin's attack, Yun Ying saw her problem.

So, Yun Ying then defended while counterattacking with basic swordsmanship to put pressure on the opponent.

Soon, Shi Xiaoqin felt that she was being suppressed. She slowly switched from offense to defense, and it became more and more strenuous. She was even exhausted from parrying. It was not as easy as when she was attacking.

Although they were both basic sword techniques, Shi Xiaoqin quickly realized that her level was too low and she couldn't even use it flexibly.

She thought she had mastered the basics of swordsmanship well, but it turned out she only knew the basics.

However, she did not give up. Instead, she began to make changes. She no longer copied the moves rigidly, and began to flexibly use basic swordsmanship to defend.

This decision was undoubtedly correct, and Yun Ying also showed a relieved smile.

clang!
Soon, the iron sword flew out and stuck in the ground nearby.

Shi Xiaoqin's hands were shaking and her whole body was soaked in sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water. Her hair was stuck to her cheeks and she looked very disheveled.

Many children and teenagers around were watching this scene and were shocked.

Although they did not know swordsmanship, they were deeply attracted by the fight between the two men.

"How is it? Are you tired? Do you still want to learn sword from me now?"

Yunying looked at the little girl and asked with a smile.

"Learn, please teach me, fairy sister," Shi Xiaoqin's body trembled slightly, but her voice was firm, without the slightest wavering.

"Okay, let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

Yunying smiled slightly.

Hearing Yunying's answer, Shi Xiaoqin felt relaxed, fell down and lay on the ground to rest.

It was not until today that she realized that swordplay was not so easy to learn.

Yun Ying didn't care about the little girl. She was just a little tired. She would recover naturally after a good rest. Besides, she still had the sword energy she left in her body to help nourish her body.

Then she looked at the children around her. They were looking at her with big eyes, which was very cute.

"Come here, little one."

Yunying looked at the chubby child who was about two or three years old. He followed the older children and looked at her curiously.

As she spoke, Yunying raised her hand, and the little thing flew up and landed in Yunying's hand.

The little guy looked at Yun Ying in front of him with a confused look on his face, not knowing how he ended up in Yun Ying's hands.

"Little guy, call me sister."

Yun Ying looked at the little guy and pinched his chubby little face.

"Pretty sister."

The little one was brave and not afraid, because Yunying was so beautiful and the child would not think that she was a bad person.

"So nice."

Yunying laughed, took out a spiritual fruit and put it in the little one's hand.

"Thank you pretty sister."

The little one looked at the spiritual fruit in his hand and smelled the fragrance. He knew it was delicious and smiled widely.

"What a polite and good boy."

This made Yunying even more happy, and she kissed the little one on the face.

This stunned the older children around. This sister was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also so gentle.

Some of the young men knew who Yun Ying was and were extremely shocked. Such a big shot was so approachable, like a big sister next door.

"Come here, you guys have it too."

Yun Ying did not forget the other children and took out a pile of spiritual fruits.

"Thank you pretty sister."

Seeing the spiritual fruit, the children couldn't sit still. They seldom got to eat such delicious things, let alone in the past.

"What are you standing for? Sit down together."

Yun Ying looked at the young men standing there and knew that they were worried, so she nodded to them.

Seeing Yun Ying nod, the teenagers came over and started eating the spiritual fruits with the other children.

By the stream, there was a scene like this: a group of children were sitting together, happily eating spiritual fruits. Among them, there was a very beautiful girl, holding a little one in her arms, with a gentle smile on her face.
