After working for both the righteous and demonic factions, I became a big shot.

Shen An naturally dared not take out the jade pendant in front of Feng Qingyu and the other woman. What difference would that be from answering the phone with the wife in front of the mistress?

"Why do you look so dazed? Is this really that difficult?" Feng Xiaoyu said from the side, quite dissatisfied with Shen An's reaction.

Shen An first composed himself well, and then said, "Of course not. As a member of our Sword Pavilion, let alone checking if our sword manual is in the rewards, even if I were asked to steal it, I would do it without hesitation."

Feng Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction.

Feng Qingyu glanced at his junior sister before coldly explaining, "It's alright. If you feel it's too much to handle, we can think of another way."

After all, in her eyes, Shen An was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and it was highly unlikely that he would participate in the inner sect competition. Even if he did participate, he would not achieve any results, so this task was still somewhat difficult.

"No, this task is not difficult. I will investigate it thoroughly." Shen An observed very clearly that this sword manual was probably very important to Feng Qingyu.

You must know that Feng Qingyu is a Sword Pavilion Walker, and he is almost certain to become the Sword Pavilion Master in the future. He has to do Feng Qingyu a favor no matter what.

Of course, his willingness to accept this mission had absolutely nothing to do with Feng Qingyu's appearance perfectly matching his ideal of a female sword immortal.

"Where do you plan to start your investigation?" Feng Qingyu noticed that Shen An's teacup was empty, so she personally refilled it for him.

Hmm, if other people knew that Feng Qingyu personally poured tea and water for me, wouldn't they be insanely jealous?

Especially those sycophants.

After thinking for a moment, Shen An decided to embellish his situation slightly before explaining it.

"I plan to sign up for the inner sect competition so I can find out what the rewards are."

Well, it's about the same whether my mentor helps me register or I register on my own initiative.

"No way!" Feng Qingyu shook his head and refused. He had finally found an undercover agent like Shen An, and he couldn't go and die.

"Exactly, you've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, how can you possibly defeat those demonic cultivators?" Feng Xiaoyu added.

What demonic cultivators? They are my dearest friends and family.

Shen An said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I'm just participating. I can always admit defeat early."

"But, could you teach me a few moves, senior sister?"

Being suddenly called "Senior Sister" made Feng Qingyu visibly uncomfortable, but she still accepted the title.

When Feng Qingyu thought about Shen An's decision to participate in the brutal Demonic Sect Competition for the sake of the sect, she softened and nodded.

"You are also a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, so of course you can. However, I cannot teach you the inner cultivation method; I can only teach you a few sword techniques that I created myself."

Did you create it yourself?

Shen An was initially skeptical, but Feng Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, was not happy about it.

"Junior, don't underestimate Senior Sister's self-created sword technique. Her sword technique has been included in the eighth level of the Sword Pavilion, and it can only be seen by those who are personally taught by the inner sect."

Ok?

Shen An was immediately shocked. Was this the terrifying aspect of the Sword Pavilion's human world? This was like me being in college and having my writings become textbooks.

"No, no, I'm afraid I'm not quick enough to learn it."

Feng Qingyu smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll just teach you some simple things. I'll teach you myself."

Feng Xiaoyu rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. If people found out that her senior sister was personally teaching a disciple from the outer sect swordsmanship, then someone would probably challenge Shen An to a duel.

But considering that this kid had volunteered to participate in the Demonic Sect Competition, she didn't say anything.

The sooner the better, so Shen An immediately took Feng Qingyu to a small basement under construction. Only he had the key to it, and the location was secluded.

Although the place was simple, it was clean and quiet. Feng Qingyu looked around, said nothing, and took the short sword from his waist and held it in his hand.

"My sword technique is called 'Three Forms of Chasing the Moon,' which I created when I first attained enlightenment. The moves are simple, but they are very suitable for your current Foundation Establishment stage cultivation."

She stood in the center of the basement and began to demonstrate.

Shen An's inner voice was filled with "Holy crap, holy crap!"

The world of geniuses is indeed on a different level from that of ordinary people.

"Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once."

The moment the words left her lips, Feng Qingyu moved abruptly.

There was no booming sword energy, no earth-shattering phenomena; the movements were as gentle as the moon setting in the evening breeze, and the figure was as graceful as an immortal.

With a single sword strike, a gleam of light fell.

The cramped basement was instantly filled with a chilling sword intent.

Shen An stared, completely mesmerized.

When Senior Sister used this move, it was not only more powerful, but also so beautiful.

Feng Xiaoyu, standing to the side, saw him staring blankly and couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Hey, are you dumbfounded? Hurry up and memorize the moves! Senior Sister rarely demonstrates them herself!"

Shen An snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing his frivolous thoughts, and said with a serious expression, "This junior will remember!"

But in his heart, he was chanting frantically.

Feng Qingyu sheathed his sword and stood still, his expression calm as he said, "The three styles are Chasing the Moon, Sweeping Snow, and Returning to Dust. If you can master them, you can defeat even a mid-Foundation Establishment opponent in one move."

She looked at Shen An, her tone becoming more serious: "The inner sect competition is a mixed bag, and the demonic cultivators are ruthless. Since you insist on going, then practice diligently."

Senior sister is so kind. I was just thinking of getting some more sword skills for free, but how does it feel to be cared for by senior sister?

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister!" Shen An bowed respectfully, her attitude sincere.

"Alright, I'll act it out again slowly, and you can try it yourself."

Feng Qingyu showed no airs whatsoever. He rose again, slowed down all his moves, and dissected the details of each action.

A cool, clear female voice slowly echoed in the enclosed basement, patiently pointing out every wrist movement, footstep placement, and the flow of sword intent.

Feng Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

When has my senior sister ever been so patient with people?

Let alone outer disciples, even inner disciples would find it incredibly difficult to ask their senior sister for guidance!

Today, not only did he personally teach the sword, but he also slowed down the moves and taught them step by step.

Shen An, after all, had consumed the Enlightenment Pill and the Pure Source Divine Wood, so his comprehension ability wasn't too bad.

But in Feng Qingyu's eyes, this was just "passing grade".

It took Shen An half an hour to learn these three moves properly.

He knew very well that although Feng Qingyu taught these moves casually, if they were given to the Demonic Sect, they would be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.

The swordsmanship of Jian Ge has always been highly regarded by both the righteous and the demonic paths.

After finishing the instruction, Feng Qingyu briefly discussed the sword manual with Shen An before hurriedly leaving with his junior sister.

Before leaving, Feng Xiaoyu reminded Shen An, "Junior, remember to surrender if you can't win."

Shen An nodded and even reached out to ruffle the latter's hair, which made Feng Xiaoyu a little unhappy.

.........

Then Shen An went to the pharmacy to meet with Emei Peak.

Before Shen An could explain why he hadn't replied to the message, Emei Feng pulled him into the basement in the backyard.

"The reason I called you here in such a hurry is because Elder Qingxu has arrived and he needs to speak with you."

In the basement filled with restrictions, Shen An met Master Qingxu, who was meditating.

The latter perfectly matched the image of the immortal Taoist priest that Shen An had in mind: white beard, white hair, and a kind smile.

Of course, more importantly, Master Qingxu held a very high position within the sect and was also a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

It is said that Elder Qingxu was able to break through a certain barrier a long time ago, but he was reluctant to do so because he was studying a Taoist scripture.

"Shen An, I called you here in such a hurry because the matter is urgent," said Master Qingxu, standing up.

Shen An repeatedly said he dared not: "Elder, Shen An is a member of the sect. If the sect needs me, I will definitely come. Please don't be so polite."

Master Qingxu glanced at Mount Emei to the side and, just as Xiaofeng had said, this was a good boy who was wholeheartedly devoted to the sect.

"In that case, let's get down to business first. The inner sect competition of the Divine Demon Sect is about to begin, and the sect needs you to figure out something."
