I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Su Ru, who was sitting down, naturally saw this scene and thought to herself, "This is troublesome."

Looking at Li Qingan, who was teasing him, Zhang Xiaofan felt a sense of warmth and mustered up his courage to ask.

"Seventh Senior Brother Li, can you tell me where Lin Jingyu, who was traveling with me, went?"

"Junior brother, don't worry. He went to Dragon Head Peak and became a disciple of a senior monk," Li Qing'an said slowly, patting his shoulder.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan felt relieved. Now that they both had found their place, all they needed to do was cultivate diligently and become stronger before seeking out the truth and finding the person who killed his entire village.

Looking at Zhang Xiaofan, whose eyes were flashing with hatred, Li Qingan sighed inwardly.

"I'm not some powerful figure with connections to the heavens, I can't save them. I have a clear conscience, a clear conscience," Li Qing'an could only try to comfort himself.

After all, people are selfish! If you can't even take care of yourself, how can you have the chance to take care of others?

"Seventh Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaofan's voice woke Li Qingan from his reverie.

Li Qingan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was just lost in thought. Seventh Senior Brother doesn't sound good, you can just call me Senior Brother or Senior Brother Li."

"And me too, you can just call me Senior Brother Du or Sixth Senior Brother," Du Bishu chimed in.

"Me too, me too..."

"Xiao An, I think Xiao Fan is closer to you, so why don't you tutor him today?"

As everyone laughed, Su Ru looked at them and smiled:

"As for you, you can all come with me to cultivate. It will be a good opportunity for me to test you."

Ignoring Song Daren and the others' sighs and their envy of him, Li Qingan pulled Zhang Xiaofan away.

Once outside the hall, he took Zhang Xiaofan and flew directly to the Black Bamboo Forest behind the mountain on his sword.

Zhang Xiaofan's legs trembled as he looked at the flying sword beneath his feet. He was horrified, having never seen such a scene before.

"Impressive, isn't it! Once you've cultivated, you too can roam freely between heaven and earth, going anywhere and taking anything, experiencing the vastness of the cultivation world. All the world's constraints will seem like illusions to you as you pursue the secrets of immortality."

Li Qingan patiently guided him, intending to plant the idea in his subconscious that constraints can be broken and that the world is not necessarily only black and white.

Zhang Xiaofan, who had not yet undergone the transformation, could not understand, but he felt that what his senior brother said made great sense, and he silently wrote it down.

Standing on the flying sword, the raging wind was reduced to a gentle breeze by Li Qing'an's magic, and Zhang Xiaofan felt that his confused future had a direction, and his grief was relieved.

Li Qing'an never expected that the spell he had developed to prevent motion sickness and sword sickness would have such an effect.

Chapter 14 Xiao Luo Returns, Sword Intent in the Library

A few days later, Li Qingan lay back in his chair, rocking gently, enjoying the peaceful days.

Song Daren had already taken over the task of teaching Zhang Xiaofan, naturally in order to avoid Su Ru's test.

Li Qing'an, of course, couldn't wait to slack off and study his current main cultivation method, which was the terrain formation he created a year ago.

Although he spent most of his cultivation time on this terrain formation, he still managed to develop several Dao techniques, the most important of which were the "Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission" he had used before and the "Sword Control Technique" that could make him fly faster.

He also passed on these two Taoist techniques to Tian Buyi, enhancing the foundation of Dazhu Peak.

However, he is now unable to master the formations he specializes in, because the more he studies them, the more he feels that what he has learned is just a drop in the ocean.

He also tried to get Song Daren and others to explain another rune, but they had no clue whatsoever. They felt completely lost. Even when Li Qingan guided them to draw it step by step, they still couldn't capture the spirit of the rune, only its form.

Li Qing'an gave up his idea of ​​becoming the founder of a sect that very day, and could only wait until he simplified the runes himself, so that the disciples of Qingyun Sect might be able to understand them.

He was able to create a new lineage for the Qingyun Sect – array cultivators.

Just then, Lu Daxin's voice came from outside the door, "Junior brother, a senior brother from Tongtian Peak is looking for you."

Li Qing'an got up to greet them, and saw Lü Daxin leading a disciple dressed in Tongtian Peak attire into the room.

"Senior brother, may I ask what business this senior brother from Tongtian Peak has with us?"

"Junior Brother Li, I have long admired your name. I am here on the orders of the Sect Leader to deliver the token that allows you to enter the Tongtian Peak Library. Also, your spirit pet is almost finished with its cultivation, and the Sect Leader has asked you to take it with you."

As the Tongtian Peak disciple spoke, he handed a gilded token to Li Qing'an from his robes.

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother." Li Qing'an took the token, which had the words "Tongtian" (meaning "reaching the heavens") on both sides.

"I've brought the items, so I'll be leaving now, junior brother."

“I’m free right now, so I’ll go with you, Senior Brother.” Li Qing’an said with a smile, then turned to Lü Daxin and said, “Senior Brother, I’ll be leaving now. I probably won’t be back for lunch, so tell Senior Brother not to save any food for me.”

In the blink of an eye, Li Qing'an flew to Tongtian Peak with the disciples on his sword, leaving behind only one sentence.

As the two figures disappeared into the distance, Lü Daxin looked around at Li Qing'an's residence.

After looking around a few more times, he went straight to Li Qing'an's recliner and carefully lay down.

"Ah~"

The moment he lay down, Lü Daxin felt refreshed and all his physical fatigue disappeared.

"Junior brother really knows how to enjoy himself,"

He was considered extremely pragmatic and diligent by the disciples of Dazhu Peak, and had long coveted Li Qing'an's chair, wanting to experience what it felt like to lie on it.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Lu Daxin, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the recliner, finally opened them and looked around to make sure no one was watching him before letting out a sigh of relief.

He didn't want his pragmatic image in the eyes of his fellow disciples, senior brothers, master, and mistress to be ruined.

He then stood up, reverting to his usual serious and tense demeanor, straightened his clothes, and wiped away his own marks from the recliner.

Only then did he realize that his cultivation level had improved significantly, reaching the peak of the third level of the Jade Purity Realm. He only needed one step to enter the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm.

"This...this...the barrier of the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm that has troubled me for so many years has just opened up for me?"

Lu Daxin inexplicably examined his body internally multiple times.

"Could it be that my junior brother's reclining chair also has some effect on my cultivation?"

He circled the deck chair a few more times, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Never mind, if this chair is really useful to us, Junior Brother won't keep it to himself."

Lü Daxin was particularly certain of this point.

It should be noted that other peaks also inquired about the Spirit Gathering Array from him. With just this one array, his junior brother could thrive in the Qingyun Sect and even the entire cultivation world.

However, Li Qing'an had unhesitatingly shared all his knowledge with them a few days ago. Although they ultimately learned nothing, that was their own problem, not Li Qing'an's.

.......

Tongtian Peak, Azure Water and Cold Pool

After bidding farewell to his senior brother from Tongtian Peak, Li Qing'an arrived at the Cold Pool.

Upon arriving at the Azure Cold Pool, he saw the whirlpool that had been swirling for so long gradually begin to dissipate. The dissipating water rippled across the entire vast pool, causing even the Spirit Venerable lying on the ground to open his eyes.

At this moment, in the center of the pool, a drastically transformed turtle rides a wave, coming from the center of the icy pool to the shore.

Li Qingan walked to the shore, squatted down, and looked at the little turtle, which seemed different from its usual docile appearance, with surprise.

What kind of opportunity did the Spirit Lord give it? It can now control water, and even its tortoise shell has changed drastically.

Li Qingan lifted the tortoise with his hand, revealing a shell with a base color like black jade, but a pale gold plastron.

More importantly, Li Qing'an discovered that nine rhomboid plates protruded from the middle of its carapace, naturally forming the ancient book Luoshu recorded in the books he had read. Each grid was inlaid with silver-white fluorescent patterns, and black and gold fine lines were interspersed between the shell seams, forming the outline of the sixty-four hexagrams. Moreover, he could vaguely see some runes he recognized on the turtle's back, faintly showing a nine-square grid.

"Xiao Luo, you've changed so much! Not bad, not bad, you look even more handsome now, but why haven't you grown up at all?"

Li Qingan first carefully examined Xiao Luo, then weighed him in one hand, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that we have a new chef at home, and he's very skilled."

Xiao Luo didn't seem to understand its master's words and stretched its neck to try to rub against Li Qing'an's hand.

Seeing this, Li Qingan also touched it with one hand, and then walked towards the spirit that was lying to the side.

"Let's go, I'll take you to thank the Spirit Lord."

Seeing that the Spirit Venerable had closed his eyes again and was resting on the ground, Li Qing'an bowed respectfully again and looked up at him: "Disciple thanks the Spirit Venerable for bestowing this opportunity upon Xiao Luo."

Although this wasn't the first time I'd seen a water unicorn, I was still awestruck by its mythical appearance.

He then thought of the tortoise shell on Xiao Luo's back that resembled the Luo Shu, as well as the nine-tailed celestial fox and the black water snake from the original Classic of Mountains and Seas. He couldn't believe that such a world, where divine beasts frequently appeared, had no secrets at all.

Coming to his senses, Li Qing'an saw that the Spirit Lord didn't even lift his eyelids, clearly not wanting to pay any attention to him.

He turned and took his leave, then took out a token bearing the words "Tongtian" and headed towards the library on Tongtian Peak.

A moment later, he arrived at the location of the library.

Li Qingan placed Xiao Luo on his shoulder and walked straight inside.

The entire library is divided into five floors, and a token is required to enter each floor.

Li Qing'an glanced at the books on the first floor; most of them were books he had read before or were of the same type.

"Let's go straight to the third floor and take a look."

Li Qingan thought to himself, and then he walked towards the entrance leading to the upper floor.

There was no one guarding the entrance, but he could feel a sharp sword intent hanging brightly above his head, as if the sword intent would pierce down directly if he made any unusual movement.

"Disciple Li Qing'an has obtained the sect leader's permission to come to the library to read books." Li Qing'an felt the sharpness above his head, but his expression remained calm. He simply raised the token in his hand higher so that the guards could see it more clearly.

"I'm not being cowardly, I just don't want to cause trouble," Li Qing'an thought to himself.

"Can!"

Li Qing'an also heard the voice coming from an unknown place, and the incomparably sharp sword intent above his head disappeared.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped up to the next floor.

"I've never heard of any swordsmanship experts on Tongtian Peak who are so skilled. This sword intent has even materialized!"

Li Qing'an pondered the information he usually received from the disciples at Tongtian Peak.
