Junior sister, I really need to control you

"Hmm... Junior sister is so resistant? It seems I was a bit too hasty. If I had known this would happen, I should have taken it step by step and let you get used to it slowly."

Li Yinsheng pondered for a few moments, his face showing just the right amount of apology and concern, and spoke softly and sincerely.

"If Junior Sister needs to undergo marrow cleansing tomorrow, we can halve the time compared to this time, so she can get used to it first, how about that?"

So, the time can be halved?

Mu Xiaoyu, who had been hesitant, was overjoyed when she heard the good news.

"In that case, shall I... try again tomorrow?" She was still a little worried. "But what if I still feel a lot of pain?"

“It’s not too late for junior sister to give up then,” Li Yinsheng said.

But if you give up then, it means, "You've already endured the most painful time and the second most painful time. If you give up now, you'll have suffered the two most painful times for nothing. Are you really willing to accept that?"

……

Early morning, in Li Yinsheng's bedroom.

He was sitting cross-legged on a futon, enveloped in a hazy, soft light.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, and the clear light returned to his body.

"This Pure Profound Divine Light really does cleanse the tendons and marrow, which is quite painful. No wonder Junior Sister is complaining so much," Li Yinsheng said with some emotion.

After coaxing and cajoling Mu Xiaoyu into agreeing to continue the marrow cleansing last night, Li Yinsheng sent her back to sleep.

He then began to cleanse his marrow and tendons using the Qingxuan True Scripture in his room.

His experience of cleansing his marrow and tendons was similar to what Mu Xiaoyu had described last night; it was indeed a dense, stinging pain, as if many sharp needles were running all over his body.

However, for Li Yinsheng, who had been tormented by the Blood Refining Pivot for more than a decade, this stinging pain was easy to get used to.

In his opinion, this stinging pain was much more pleasant than the burning pain of the Blood Refining Pivot.

Although it is slightly stronger than the burning pain of the Blood Refining Pivot at the beginning, it will gradually decrease.

The Blood Refining Pivot is different; its burning pain is persistent.

Of course, the benefits brought by the Blood Refining Pit are also enormous.

During this cultivation, he not only reached the tenth level of the Pure Profound True Scripture, but also the fifth level of the True Blood Secret Manual.

Li Yinsheng raised his right hand, took out a piece of ironwood the size of a water cup from his Qiankun bag, held it in his palm, and squeezed and twisted it with his five fingers. The hard ironwood turned into a clump of wood chips in his hand.

He clapped his hands, brushing away the wood chips from his palms. His palms were smooth and white, without a trace of red marks or injuries.

Ironwood is slightly less hard than ordinary cast iron, but not by much.

He estimated that with the physique of the fifth level of the True Blood Manual, turning iron into mud should not be a problem.

The wonder of the third level of the True Blood Codex is that it can increase the upper limit of True Blood.

Moreover, this upper limit is not fixed after the third level is improved; it will still increase again as the True Blood Codex is upgraded.

At the third level, the True Blood Secret Manual has a maximum limit of one thousand drops of condensed true blood.

Li Yinsheng's current fifth level has had its upper limit raised to three thousand drops.

Moreover, because he has been honing his skills and cultivating over the years, his true blood has basically reached its limit.

He had originally planned that if he didn't have any new aspirations for cultivation, he would go out and earn some money to claim the next tier of reward for his accumulated talisman money.

But now his next step is to consolidate his cultivation and break through to the True Person realm.

He did not intend to directly enter the cave and work in seclusion, but instead to break through on his own according to the methods recorded in the Qingxuan True Scripture.

The Xuanzhen Temple's Sutra Repository contains handwritten notes left by past masters, recounting their own cultivation experiences and providing reference and guidance for future generations. These notes are only for cultivators whose cultivation level has approached that of a true master to peruse.

Li Yinsheng hadn't read it before because he felt his cultivation level was still quite low at the time, and reading it might have made him overly ambitious, doing more harm than good.

But now that he is only one step away from breaking through to the True Person realm, he definitely needs to study these notes carefully and thoroughly before making any further moves.

Moreover, besides the cold, hard notes, there was also his uncle, a former master, in the temple who could personally impart his experience to him.

However, he hasn't figured out how to tell his martial uncle about his cultivation level yet.

He didn't intend to keep his cultivation level a secret forever, but he needed to find a suitable opportunity to reveal it.

"Let's go to the library to get a notebook first," Li Yinsheng said, getting up from his meditation cushion. "Then let's get up and start cultivating with my junior sister."

"It's perfect that I can watch her cultivate while studying the notes left by the senior master, so that I can do both without any delay."

……

In the following month, Li Yinsheng, who had cultivated for decades, enjoyed a rare period of leisure in just a few days.

I would go and chat with my uncle every morning.

Then I went to the library to retrieve a manuscript left by a senior master, and then I went to wake up my sleeping junior sister.

Then, based on her current cultivation progress, slightly increase the weight of the Tempering Yuan Lock.

Then, all day long, I had to watch her cultivate while studying her notes.

When it got late at night, his junior sister had almost finished her training, so he sent her back to her room and used the Pure Profound Divine Light to cleanse her marrow and tendons.

After his junior sister fell asleep, he went to his room, closed his eyes to rest or took a nap, and used the Pure Profound Divine Light to cleanse his marrow and tendons.

And so it went until dawn, and then it was a new day.

With his current cultivation level, although he can't completely avoid sleeping, one or two hours of sleep each night is more than enough.

In the past month, he has basically mastered the parts about breaking through to the True Person level in those senior's handbooks.

Most of the practitioners there cultivate the Guanyin's (or Guanyin's) cultivation method, "Xuanzhen Baozhao Xinyin Zhenquan".

However, one senior master cultivated the "Qingxuan True Scripture," while three other senior masters cultivated other techniques that were no less powerful than the "Qingxuan True Scripture."

As for those who cultivated to become True Immortals using the "True Blood Secret Manual," there was not a single one.

He benefited greatly from the notes left by the senior cultivator who practiced the Qingxuan True Scripture.

He also gained a lot from reading the notes of other experienced people.

Chapter 19 Rebuilding the Spirit Vein Array

Li Yinsheng was quite satisfied with his achievements over the past month.

However, his junior sister's progress during this period has given him quite a headache.

For the past month, he had been carefully nurturing his junior sister, and she had also been working very hard in her cultivation. Every night, she would undergo the cleansing of her marrow by the Pure Profound Divine Light, so her progress was naturally not bad.

In just one month, her tolerance to the Tempering Yuan Lock increased from 80 jin to 120 jin, a 50% increase.

This rate of improvement is already much faster than when he first started cultivating the Qingxuan True Scripture.

You should know that although he only has inferior aptitude, his junior sister has no aptitude at all.

Even so, Li Yinsheng was not happy.

Given my junior sister's current progress, she'll definitely be at the bottom of the Shaoyang Dao Examination at the end of next year, and even the one four years from now, she'll only be going through the motions.

She must have received the lowest grade, E, in both examinations.

It's just that the game four years from now will be a more dignified two-point defeat than the game next year.

This is not the result Li Yinsheng wanted.

Of course, he didn't intend to put pressure on Mu Xiaoyu.

Although this little girl never gave up her desire to be lazy, with Li Yinsheng watching over her, she has actually been working like a workaholic all month.

I start cultivating as soon as I wake up in the morning, and then I cultivate until I cleanse my marrow at night before going to sleep. I repeat this process every morning after waking up.

Li Yinsheng would give her food and water along the way, and she would rest for a while every now and then and have some snacks.

Her greatest strength is that her mood instantly improves whenever she eats something delicious.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to endure this kind of life every day.

Objectively speaking, she really did her best.

What limited her was her talent, and the extremely demanding requirements for her cultivation.

Li Yinsheng did not intend to put more pressure on her; he wanted to find another way to help his junior sister accelerate her progress.

Of course, he also needs a reliable mentor to help guide him during this process.

……

In Uncle Jiang's bedroom.

Li Yinsheng sat beside Uncle Jiang's couch.

Uncle Jiang looked at her with a strange expression.

"You mean, you think a girl without any inherent talent, even though her cultivation speed is much faster than yours, is still too slow?"

Li Yinsheng nodded.

"So you specifically came to ask me if there's any way to help her speed up further?"

Li Yinsheng nodded again.

"And it must be a method that has no side effects, does not damage the body, and does not overdraw potential?"

Li Yinsheng continued to nod.

After a moment of silence, Uncle Jiang's expression turned serious: "Yinsheng, tell your uncle the truth. You... have you taken a liking to that girl?"

Li Yinsheng was stunned.

"I've seen her twice in the past month. She is indeed pretty and charming, quite attractive, but she's definitely not a stunning beauty."

"It wouldn't be difficult to find one or two female disciples prettier than her in any Taoist temple. Why are you so infatuated with her? Or do you just prefer this kind of demure, girl-next-door type?"

Uncle Jiang looked completely bewildered.

"Uncle-Master, what are you saying!" Li Yinsheng said, both amused and exasperated. "Do I look that desperate?"

His junior sister's current age would be equivalent to just starting high school in his previous life.

No matter how desperate he is, he can't fall for a girl that age!

Besides, she's a flat-chested girl who isn't very well-developed!
