Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Qingxuan Sect.

A small sect located at the foot of the mountain.

Yue Xiaomeng carried a bamboo basket and led Chen Nian all the way into the mountain gate.

"Junior Sister, you're back! And who is this?"

As soon as they entered, the two bumped into a senior student.

"Senior Brother!"

Yue Xiaomeng hurriedly ran over: "His name is Chen Nian. I encountered people from the Rakshasa Sect on the road before, and he saved me."

"Is that so? Thank you for your righteous help, Brother Chen! I am Gao Yi, the senior brother of Qingxuan Sect." The man cupped his hands and said.

"You're welcome."

"By the way, senior brother..."

Yue Xiaomeng leaned close to her senior brother's ear and whispered, "He seems to be interested in me. I have a reasonable suspicion that he's been bewitched by my beauty, and he's even deliberately saying nonsensical things to attract my attention."

"What did he say?" Gao Yi asked.

"He said he was friends with Mu Shenzi of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land and asked me to take him to him. Isn't that outrageous?!"

"That's pretty outrageous! But since they saved you, we should treat them to a meal."

Gao Yi gestured for him to come in: "Brother Chen, please come in."

So Chen Nian was invited into the house.

He discovered that the sect was indeed quite small; there were only about ten disciples in the training ground at the foot of the mountain.

"I wonder which school or sect Brother Chen belongs to? I don't see any Xuan Qi on you. Could it be that you have some kind of hidden method?"

"I belong to no sect or school, and I have indeed not cultivated any profound energy."

"What! You defeated the Rakshasa Sect members without cultivating profound qi?"

"He really is my senior brother. He has an exceptionally powerful physical body and a formidable beast pet."

Chen Nian smiled and said, "To be honest, the reason I came here is to learn the method of cultivating profound energy."

"You want to cultivate? That's perfect! Welcome to join our Qingxuan Sect!" Yue Xiaomeng's eyes lit up.

"You didn't understand me. I want to cultivate, but I'm not particularly interested in joining your sect..."

"How can that be! The cultivation methods of each sect are not passed on to outsiders. Only if you become our disciple can you learn them, right, Senior Brother?"

Gao Yi nodded: "That's right. Although my Qingxuan Sect is not large, it's not a place that just anyone can enter. Brother Chen has done us a favor, so we can ask Master to make an exception and accept him."

"....."

Chen Nian thought for a moment and then said, "Let's add it."

Once you can begin your spiritual practice, you will be able to verify your conjectures.

"Okay, I'll join."

"Okay, I'll go ask Master right away!"

Yue Xiaomeng skipped and hopped away to the back mountain.

Suddenly, the eldest brother leaned close to Chen Nian and whispered, "You're interested in Xiao Meng?"

Chen Nian: ? ? ?

"Don't be shy, I understand! Xiaomeng is lively, cute, and popular, with quite a few suitors. If that's your intention, don't get your hopes up too high."

"I have absolutely no interest in her. She's too naive and doesn't fit my image of a graceful fairy from a fantasy world."

"Sigh, young people are just hypocritical."

Chen Nian discovered that the people in this sect are quite imaginative, what are the sect's characteristics?

Soon, Yue Xiaomeng returned and dragged Chen Nian to become her apprentice.

"Master, I've brought the person back!"

The sect leader was an old man with a white beard.

There weren't many formalities; Chen Nian simply offered a cup of tea, and that was it for the apprenticeship ceremony.

"From now on, you're my junior brother, hehe, Junior Brother Chen, call me senior sister!"

"Senior sister..." Chen Nian said reluctantly, "Can I start cultivating now?"

"Of course, here, this is for you."

Yue Xiaomeng took out a booklet that looked like a martial arts manual.

The words written on it were: "Mysterious Qi Breathing Technique".

"This is the basic chapter that all cultivators must learn. If you follow along and practice, as long as you can successfully exhale and inhale the first wisp of profound energy, you can begin your cultivation."

"It can take anywhere from seven days to a month."

"If it doesn't work within a month, then you don't have the talent... It's best to give up."

Chen Nian was overjoyed and couldn't wait to start cultivating.

Yue Xiaomeng was suspicious. Why was this guy acting like a cultivation fanatic, not even letting her finish speaking?

Could it be a case of feigned indifference to lure the prey into a trap?

......

Chen Nian sat down cross-legged and opened the booklet.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless."

"Focus your mind on the dantian and circulate your qi throughout the body."

"Like a wheel turning, life goes on and on."

He thought this adaptation process would take a long time, but he didn't expect...

After trying for ten minutes, I was able to actually sense the mysterious energy in the air and successfully draw it into my body.

Chen Nian immediately guided the Xuan Qi to complete a full cycle.

A miraculous thing happened: a small portion of his supernatural powers were restored!

"Can it really work?"

Chen Nian was overjoyed.

It seems that during the process of circulating Xuan Qi, one's body will gradually adapt to the rules of this world, and the suppressed power will gradually recover.

The more cycles of energy are circulated, the more energy is restored.

Therefore, he doesn't need to go through the complicated process of understanding and exploring like others; he can simply operate it mindlessly.

.......

Dinner time.

Yue Xiaomeng is here.

"It's time to go eat, Junior Brother Chen. Let everyone get to know you while we're at it."

As soon as she pushed open Chen Nian's door, she felt a familiar presence.

Mysterious Qi!

She froze on the spot, her face filled with disbelief.

Wait, how come this guy has already touched the profound energy in just one hour?

Even for me, it took a full ten days.

Even the most talented disciple in the sect spent three whole days.

This guy, an hour?

What a genius he must be!

"Wow, Junior Brother Chen is amazing..."

"Not bad, have you eaten?"

"Yes, hurry up and come with me, it's lunchtime and the food is practically fighting over!"

Upon arriving at the dining hall, they saw a long table where the disciples were all sitting neatly, with their master seated at the head of the table.

After Chen Nian sat down, Yue Xiaomeng announced loudly, "Let me introduce you all. This is our new junior brother, Chen Nian! By the way, he has already cultivated Xuan Qi in just one hour."

"What?!"

"Mastering the basics in just one hour? Is that even possible?"

"I don't believe it. He must have practiced before."

"Exactly, if someone were truly a genius, why would they come to our sect?"

The whispers stopped abruptly when the master coughed.

"Alright, Chen Nian just arrived, everyone please take good care of him. Besides, he saved Meng'er's life. Although our Qingxuan Sect is small, we must unite."

"Alright, let's eat."

As soon as the master finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks at top speed, and the meat on the plate was snatched up in no time.

Chen Nian: .....

"These guys act like they've never eaten meat before. Don't worry, junior brother, your senior sister anticipated this and saved some meat for you."

Yue Xiaomeng took a plate of meat from the kitchen and placed it in front of Chen Nian.

at this time,

A furious shout suddenly came from outside the mountain gate.

"You bastards from Qingxuan Sect, how dare you kill my disciple? Show yourself!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"They're from the Rakshasa Sect. How dare they come knocking on our door?"

"They were the ones who chased after my junior sister first, and now they dare to come and demand an explanation?"

The master stood up, flicked his sleeve, and said, "Let's go and meet them."

Chen Nian is no longer a coward. He has just recovered some of his strength and is going to test the strength of the people in this world.
