Sky-Stepping Gait Entry Level

[As long as it wasn't fear, Wan Qingluan wouldn't have any more problems.]

[It's time for you and Wan Qingluan to go your separate ways.]

[Wan Qingluan lowered her head and said nothing.]

[You inwardly thought, This is bad, has she developed feelings?]

[Wan Qingluan suddenly looked up and said, "I'll go back to the Danxia Sect with you!"]

[You were surprised, "No way, you want to meet the parents already?"]

[Wan Qingluan shook her head, "I'm not meeting parents. I don't have any family."]

[You thought for a moment, "What a coincidence, I don't have parents either."]

[Wan Qingluan: "You don't have parents?"]

[You: "You don't have family?"]

[Wan Qingluan: "You don't have parents!"]

[You: "You don't have family!"]

[The two orphans exchanged insults for a while before finally deciding to return to the Danxia Sect together.]

[Wan Qingluan really wanted to ask you how you knew so much about her cultivation technique.]

[But she knew you wouldn't tell her, so she didn't ask.]

[You walked out of the room.]

[Wan Qingluan tugged at your clothes and obediently followed behind.]

[Bai Chen's room was still empty.]

[You came outside the inn to wait.]

[You knew Bai Chen would definitely come back.]

[After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Bai Chen appeared.]

[Bai Chen's steps were unsteady, his face was pale, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He looked completely listless.]

[Every step he took, his legs trembled three times.]

[For a dignified martial artist to be reduced to this after one night, one could imagine the intensity.]

["Senior brother, let's go." Bai Chen pulled at the corners of his pale mouth and forced a smile.]

[You said helplessly, "Are you trying to break even?"]

[Bai Chen chuckled weakly, "I didn't lose much."]

[You lightly kicked Bai Chen, knocking him to the ground. "Your body is so depleted, and you say you didn't lose much?"]

["As long as I didn't lose much money, that's fine," Bai Chen said with a look of satisfied contentment.]

["Alright, alright, you scoundrel, at least you got something out of it. Well done!" You were impressed by Bai Chen.]

[This old rascal Bai Chen definitely couldn't walk anymore.]

[You had no choice but to buy three fast horses.]

[You felt like you were sometimes too good to Bai Chen.]

[The three of you rode the horses towards the Danxia Sect.]

[You rode the horses and traveled at full speed all day.]

[That evening, you settled down in a small town.]

[In the room, Wan Qingluan, who was sitting on the bed, called you over.]

["What is it?" you asked.]

[She beckoned to you again.]

[You walked up to her, puzzled.]

[Wan Qingluan smiled faintly and opened her outer robe with her hand.]

["Ah? Miss, isn't that inappropriate?" you said while pulling down your pants.]

[Wan Qingluan opened her outer robe and took out a martial skill hidden close to her body, handing it to you.]

["Oh, you're giving me something. I misunderstood."]

[You pulled your pants, which had been lowered to your ankles, back up and tied the belt in a bow.]

[You took the martial skill. "What is this?"]

["It's a sect- trấn phái level movement martial skill, Sky-Stepping Gait!" Wan Qingluan said.]

[You flipped through it a couple of times. "This is for me?"]

["Thank you for taking care of me for the past two days. What's your name?"]

[You replied, "I go by my name, no need to change it, Zhao Tie... uh... He Yu."]

[You almost said it naturally.]

["My name is Wan Qingluan."]

["I know, the Saintess of the Extinction Sect, with a mole on your right buttock."]

Wan Qingluan: "?"

["I'm guessing. Do you really have one?"]

Wan Qingluan gave you a meaningful look: "You really know me very well."

["It's only right."]

Wan Qingluan stood up: "I'm going back to the Dragon Gate Inn."

["Not going to the Danxia Sect anymore?" you asked, surprised.]

"Not going." Wan Qingluan walked towards the door.

["Why?" As soon as you asked, you realized your question was redundant.]

[Wan Qingluan, someone from the Extinction Sect, needs a reason to do things?]

[Acting on impulse is her style, Wan Qingluan's style.]

Wan Qingluan at the door pursed her lips and smiled, saying softly: "I'll be in a bad mood tomorrow."

After speaking, Wan Qingluan vanished directly into the night.

[Like a bird, forever wild and uncontainable.]

["Bad mood?"]

[You remembered that after tonight, Wan Qingluan's personality would shift to Hate.]

["Did she leave so I wouldn't see her in a bad state?"]

[The more you thought about it, the more you felt it was possible.]

["Then she's in trouble. She's fallen in love."]

["I'm in trouble too. Wan Qingluan is going to pester me again." You said with a mournful face.]

[The next day]

[You no longer walked leisurely. You and Bai Chen rode fast horses, traveling day and night.]

[You planned to return to the Danxia Sect as soon as possible to study the Earth Source in your possession.]

[You also needed to ask Xie Huide about what happened when your state became mysterious during a past alchemy session.]

[And there was a big piece of gossip that both you and Bai Chen were very concerned about.]

[It was about what finally happened to Xie Huide and Hu Zhongxuan's junior sister.]

[You rode your horses for three days and three nights, pushing on until late into the night every day.]

[You finally returned to the Danxia Sect.]

[Back to the place where your dreams began.]

[As soon as Bai Chen returned, he went to the Full Spring Brothel to see his old flame.]

[You went to Xie Huide's courtyard.]

[However, you found that Xie Huide and a group of high-ranking members of the Danxia Sect had not returned.]

[Only the ordinary disciples had returned.]

[You asked others and learned that the Sect Master and the Elders had been summoned to the same location and would not return for two to three months.]

[So you returned to your own courtyard.]

[You began to study this Earth Source.]

[You sent your consciousness into the Simulation Space.]

[You carefully sensed this Earth Source.]

[Your consciousness roamed and licked the surface of the Earth Source.]

[Like caressing a long-necked giraffe made of amber.]

[You spent five days doing this.]

[You gained nothing.]

[To you, it was just an ordinary white mist.]

["Could it be that one can only sense the mysteries of the Earth Source after becoming a Grandmaster?"]

[Unwilling to give up, you tried sensing it for another three days.]

[After three days, you finally accepted it.]

["My apologies, my apologies."]

[You realized you had indeed overestimated yourself.]

[You can only temporarily give up on comprehending the Earth Source]

[Instead, you began cultivating in the courtyard]

[It just so happens that the higher-ups are all away during this period, so you don't need to hide anything]

[You can cultivate freely without worrying about your true realm being discovered]

[You took out the Sky-Stepping Gait that Wan Qingluan gave you]

["A sect- trấn phái level movement martial skill!"]

[You've been coveting it for a long time and have wanted to get your hands on it to practice]

[Unfortunately, the Danxia Sect is not skilled in martial arts]

[Naturally, they wouldn't have such a precious thing as a sect- trấn phái level movement martial skill]

[Your current martial arts talent is already quite considerable]

[When compared to the Five Great Sects and the Three Great Demonic Cults]

[Even if you aren't a Personal Disciple, you're still a top-tier contender, second only to Personal Disciples]

[Therefore, learning the basics of Sky-Stepping Gait is not difficult for you]

[You directly began cultivating Sky-Stepping Gait]

[Two months later]

[The thirteenth year]

[Leaves swirled and fell in your small courtyard]

[Hummm—]

[It felt as if something was supporting your feet]

[You stood with your hands behind your back, eerily standing bolt upright in mid-air]

[You managed to stay in the air for a full four breaths before slowly landing]

[After landing, you were extremely excited: "So this is what it feels like to fly!"]
