Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

65. The Cultivation Arrangements for Everyone

Fan Luokui shuddered, realizing what Yun Pingjiu had said in a sudden turn of events.

"To die means..."

"Literal meaning."

The girl fell silent, looking down at the black, unidentified scabbard that Fang Yunping had just given her.

The Rifting Blade Intent—in reality, this was not a martial art technique that someone taught Fan Luokui.

To be precise, it was a sword technique she developed on her own. In her opinion, the Sky-Splitting Sword Intent had reached the level of breaking through the void that only a Saint Transcending stage expert could achieve. If she really mastered it, it would definitely be one of her greatest killing techniques.

But Yunping told her to stop using the Rift Blade Intent?

She doesn't understand.

"Of course I have a reason for saying that—"

His keen insight, honed over countless years, allowed him to immediately discern Fan Luo Kui's thoughts. Yun Ping continued, "That martial art, if I'm not mistaken, was it something you created yourself?"

Fan Luo Kui's expression faltered slightly. She looked up, met the young man's gaze, and then nodded blankly, saying, "Yes..."

"That's right."

"Although you may not agree with what I'm saying, your swordsmanship is not yet at the level to establish your own school. The swordsmanship philosophy you uphold is speed. Simply expanding the word 'speed' into a martial art is absolutely not enough."

"You've pursued the ultimate speed of the blade so much that you've forgotten the most basic things. As a swordsmanship technique, your self-created skills can be considered adequate, but what comes after that?"

Fan Luo Kui was filled with doubt upon hearing this. She had indeed transformed the simple concept of "speed" into a martial art, which was why she created the Rift-Splitting Blade Intent.

But the problem is—

"Isn't swordsmanship all about speed?"

Upon hearing Fan Luokui's words, Yun Ping's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Why is this girl so single-minded not only in her actions but also in her swordsmanship?"

She's completely straightforward; the term "straight woman" perfectly describes Fan Luokui.

The young man rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "What you're saying is the same thing—that as long as a man is hard, that's all that matters."

The cherry-haired girl clearly didn't understand Yunping's words and stood there, stunned, pondering the connection between the words "man" and "hard."

Ye Yuchan and Jiang Yuetian stared at Yunping with resentment, especially Ye Yuchan, who had already started pinching Yunping's lower back.

However, the old rogue completely ignored Ye Yuchan's act of pinching her flesh and continued to look at Fan Luokui seriously.

"A man needs to be hard, but also long-lasting; and not only long-lasting, but also thick and long! At the same time, he needs technique. If he's only hard, what's the difference between him and a long, rod-shaped stone?"

What the hell is this long, rod-shaped stone...?

However—it's been a long time since I've heard that old rogue's dirty jokes.

While sighing, Ye Yuchan pinched Yunping's flesh harder and whispered, "Can't you be a little more serious? Besides, Junior Sister Luo Kui can't understand any of what you're saying."

"It's alright, she'll understand eventually." Yun Ping gave Ye Yuchan a thumbs up, revealing a sunny smile, looking like he was confident he could corrupt Fan Luokui.

"..."

Ye Yuchan wondered if she should try to stop Fan Luokui from contacting Yunping.

Looking at Fan Luokui's seemingly confused expression, Yun Ping continued, "In short, the reason I don't want you to continue practicing that martial art is because swordsmanship is not just about speed. The precision and mystery accumulated by countless generations of swordsmen over millions of years cannot be fully explained by the word 'speed' alone."

"Not every path has to be taken to the extreme. Your knife may be fast enough, but it cannot cut through water or cleave sunlight."

"Perhaps you can focus your swordsmanship on speed, but if you only think about speed, you may die outside before you've mastered enough speed."

Fan Luokui took a deep breath and remained silent.

Yunping knew that his words wouldn't directly make Fan Luokui give up the ultimate swordsmanship she had been pursuing for years. She had been studying how to make the sword faster for a long time, as could be seen from her terrifying swordsmanship skills that seemed to transcend the void.

However, Yunping did not want Fan Luokui to go astray.

Indeed, in the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken.

But that's just martial arts, not martial skills, much less the way of martial arts.

In Yunping's past world, strength and speed could indeed overwhelm technique to a large extent.

But it's different here; the ability to achieve great results with minimal effort is a real phenomenon here.

The principles of overcoming strength with gentleness, defeating recklessness with skill, overcoming speed with slowness, and overcoming sharpness with dullness—things that might not have worked in the original world, work here.

Therefore, Yunping did not want Fan Luokui to only develop the swift blade to its extreme. Perhaps that would make her very strong, at least she would have few rivals in the same realm, but that would be all she could do. She might even be stuck at the bottleneck of the Void Realm and never be able to understand the essence of martial arts.

"If you think what I said makes no mistake, then Xiao Luo Kui, for the next two months, what you need to practice is the basics of swordsmanship."

"As for martial arts techniques, once you've mastered the basics to a certain level, you'll naturally understand the issues involved."

After the young man finished speaking, Fan Luokui paused for a moment, then nodded heavily and slowly left the backyard with a thoughtful expression.

Basic skills.

She vaguely remembered that she had been regarded as a genius by several elders of the Northern Ice Palace a long time ago. Her swordsmanship had broken through to the Flowing Water Realm in less than two years. After that, the elders asked her to find a suitable path of swordsmanship in order to improve her swordsmanship.

(Martial Arts Realms - Entry, Flowing Water, Freedom, Ease)

Speed ​​was the path she chose.

In fact, after that she kept studying how to make the knife faster, and it seems that she did neglect the basics she learned at the beginning, which are also the easiest to forget.

—Could it be that I have really... forgotten the most important thing?

She was puzzled, but if she wanted to know, she could only try to do it.

……

Watching Fan Luokui's departing figure, Ye Yuchan stared curiously at Yun Ping, turning her inner doubts into words and uttering them.

"You old rogue, why does what you just said sound so mysterious to me?"

Is it mysterious?

"That's quite mysterious. As long as the knife is fast and accurate enough, isn't that enough?"

—So you think the same way.

But that makes sense, considering that Ye Yuchan was practicing archery, it's not surprising that her understanding of swordsmanship was only superficial.

He gave me an expression that said, "No matter how I explain, it won't make sense," and said with a faint smile, "Alright, let's not talk about these trivial things for now. I still need to talk to Xiao Jiang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuetian, who had already snapped out of his meditative state, slowly stood up from where he stood.

He had been waiting for a long time.

Ye Yuchan pouted, swallowing back the words that were about to come up in her throat, and then stood obediently behind Yun Ping—of course, her left hand was still pinching Yun Ping's waist.

But the old rogue acted as if he had traded a kidney for two iPhones, showing no sign of pain whatsoever. Ye Yuchan even wondered if she had just sculpted a fake piece of flesh.

As a disciple, Jiang Yuetian was somewhat nervous in front of Yun Ping at this moment, and a trace of fear appeared on his usually indifferent and expressionless face.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

“You are simpler. Your basic skills are very well developed, unlike Xiao Luo Kui who is too eager to achieve quick results. From this point of view, you do not need to go back to practice the most basic things.”

"so……"

"So you don't need to do anything this month, just focus on cultivating your skills."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan and Jiang Yuetian were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws.

What does that mean? It means I just need to focus on practicing my cultivation technique?

Jiang Yuetian blinked, then gave a wry smile. "Teacher, my cultivation has only just broken through to the Lesser Completion of the Transformation God stage. Even if I continue cultivating now, it's impossible to break through again..."

Yun Ping raised an eyebrow. "I didn't ask you to break through."

"Then why..."

"Your cultivation level is not stable yet. I just helped you temper your body and improve your cultivation level a few days ago. If you spend the next month cultivating some random things instead of consolidating your cultivation, what if you lose control of your spiritual energy and prematurely ejaculate... ptooey! premature ejaculation?"

Ye Yuchan and Jiang Yuetian exchanged a glance, their expressions both somewhat strange.

Especially Jiang Yuetian, whose stunningly handsome face was the envy of everyone, showed a hesitant expression, "That's true, but the Ten Thousand Sects Competition will begin in two months. If I go to consolidate my cultivation now..."

Yun Ping waved his hand and said solemnly, "If you can't even stabilize your cultivation, what else can you talk about? Besides, I'm only giving you a month to stabilize it. After a month, I have other things for you to do."

"Something else?"

“Yeah.” Yunping scratched his head and said, “It’s pretty much like getting a feel for actual combat beforehand. Don’t worry, it won’t be too difficult.”

Ye Yuchan was startled upon hearing this, "Real combat? You're not going to personally go into battle, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetian was stunned. He still remembered the fear of being dominated by Yun Ping...

Not only him, but almost all the disciples were thoroughly defeated by Yun Ping, and this was mostly when they were just starting out, during close combat training or when they were cultivating their martial arts level.

To paraphrase an old rogue, a disciple who hasn't been beaten by the teacher is definitely not a good disciple.

This time, however, Yunping denied Ye Yuchan's idea—

"Just kidding. If I were to go on stage, you guys would probably lose all interest in cultivating."

"Then... how do we put it into practice?" Ye Yuchan asked.

"It's simple. Just conjure up a few puppets. It's nothing more than puppet control techniques, which I know well enough."

"You can...manipulate puppets?" Ye Yuchan looked at Yun Ping with a hint of horror. "No, I've never even heard of such a technique!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetian lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't recall any famous person in history who became famous by manipulating puppets."

The old rogue chuckled, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Back then, I created an army of Doraemon and the Blue Fat Man, and wiped out the entire Blood Cult. It's just that I did it very secretly, so nobody knows about it."

……

After briefly imagining the three-headed blue robot pulling an anti-tank rocket from its crotch and blasting the Blood Gate cult to smithereens, the silver-haired girl felt her worldview had been attacked once again.

As a fellow time traveler, Ye Yuchan was at a loss for words.

All I can say is—

That old rogue, he knows how to play the game.

66. Monsters have appeared?

Yunping has his own set of training methods for Jiang Yuetian.
