Senior Sister's Assessment

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there are less than ten days left until the end of January.

Ju Yunxiu could no longer sit still and returned to the Transient Peak cave abode.

When she entered, Qin Yi was not there, but his presence was faintly felt from within the painting. After thinking for a moment, Ju Yunxiu also entered the painting's world.

The first thing I saw was Qin Yi pinning down a mandrill and punching it repeatedly. "You damn monkey, you dare hit me! Hit me again! Where's the damage? Where, where, where!"

The mandrill screeched and howled pitifully.

Ju Yunxiu chuckled to herself.

How childish of me to get angry over a drawn monkey.

However... this mountain demon is indeed at the peak of the Cloud Ascension level in terms of strength and speed alone. Although it has no Law Technique, no combat skills, no treasures, and no intelligence, and may not be as strong as the opponents of the Great Joy Temple, the fact that it was so quickly pinned down and beaten up shows its progress.

Yes, he has already forged his bones.

Hmm... his Immortal Dao...

In that moment of distraction, Qin Yi noticed her presence. He quickly turned around, pressed the mandrill flat on the ground with its red bottom facing up, and patted it twice. "Senior Sister, sit down."

"Pfft..." Ju Yunxiu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I'm relieved to see that you're in a good mood."

Qin Yi kicked the monkey away and jogged over. "Why are you having such a bad attitude? To be honest, if it weren't for the bottles and jars outside reminding me, I would have even forgotten that there was still a battle to fight. I was holding my breath for the past few days, determined to beat this monkey to death, and I finally succeeded today."

Ju Yunxiu gazed at him with her beautiful eyes. "Your Immortal Dao... the eighth level of the Qin Heart realm?"

"Yes," Qin Yi laughed, "So you really couldn't hide it from Senior Sister after all? I used the Formless Realm Spell to conceal it, but it seems I still couldn't fool Huiyang."

"It's already having a slight disruptive effect, so I dare not draw any conclusions easily." Ju Yunxiu incredulously, "What's going on with your speed... Could it be that you used some method to force a breakthrough? This will cause instability in your foundation, so don't be impatient for quick success."

"Don't worry, apart from the minor hurdle of breaking through from the sixth to the seventh level with the help of medicine, I've been cultivating steadily for the rest." Qin Yi clicked his tongue. "I originally planned to directly aim for the Soaring Cloud Realm, but then I realized that the Spiritual Qi accumulation required to go from the eighth to the ninth level takes a long time. It can't be done overnight. I overestimated myself."

In fact, Qin Yi didn't overestimate himself; it was Liusu who overestimated him. The abnormal breakthrough from the fourth to the seventh level right in front of him gave Liusu the illusion that he could achieve perfection at any time... That was merely the result of the cultivation he had suppressed before being released at this moment, not a sudden increase.

The cultivation of Immortal Dao is inherently about gradual "harmony" and "accumulation," and it cannot be done so quickly. Even the most talented person must conform to basic principles.

If one forcibly absorbs energy through various elixirs to cultivate, one can quickly achieve Heart of the Harp Perfection, but it may also lead to an unstable foundation, leaving hidden dangers for future growth.

After discussing it, Liu Su and Qin Yi still felt there was no need to force it, as their current cultivation was sufficient to handle the current situation. As for Tengyun Pass, they shouldn't rush it; they would likely need to gain more worldly experience before things would take their natural course.

Qin Yi felt he had been very restrained and cautious... but Ju Yunxiu still found it unbelievable. A hint of worry appeared in her eyes. "You... really didn't take any medication for a quick fix?"

Qin Yi was both amused and exasperated. "Really, there isn't any."

"I already told you that if you can't win that battle, you should just run away. Don't do that..."

"I really didn't care about that battle," Qin Yi said. "I feel like I could easily kill Guan Ji right now, let alone some monks who are weaker than him."

Ju Yunxiu hesitated for a moment, then beckoned with her slender hand. "Come on, let's practice."

Qin Yi's eyes widened.

"As your Senior Sister, it's my responsibility to verify your cultivation." Ju Yunxiu smiled slightly. "What, are you afraid of hurting me?"

Qin Yi looked at the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand and for the first time felt that he couldn't bring himself to hit anyone with it.

Liusu sneered in her Sea of Consciousness: "What kind of stick do you want to use?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Ju Yunxiu reached out and flicked her wrist.

There were no Technique Method, just direct damage from solidified Law Power... but Qin Yi's hair stood on end. He felt that this Law Power, which should have been very weak, had become incredibly fierce, even more so than his own Gang Qi.

"Boom"!

Qin Yi shifted his steps, and the red rocks behind him had already been blasted to pieces by this Law Power.

He swung the bat almost entirely on instinct.

A slender hand reached out, and gentle Law Power blocked the Wolf Tooth Club, causing it to glow faintly.

Qin Yi was gently blocked, which left him wide open, and then another hand pressed down on his chest.

The delicate hand that used to gently caress his chest now unleashed a torrent of power, pushing him more than ten feet away in an instant.

Ju Yunxiu looked somewhat disappointed and shook her head, saying, "You can't do it this way..."

"Damn it... A man can't say no!" Qin Yi's bloodlust was aroused, and he finally put away his tender feelings. He stomped his heel and sprang back like a cannonball, his Wolf Tooth Club shining with a dazzling aura.

Ju Yunxiu reached out to block, but her solidified Law Power was actually shattered by the blow. She temporarily transformed her Law Power into Law Technique, turning it into a flower petal to protect herself, thus blocking Qin Yi's blow.

"Hmm..." Ju Yunxiu's expression finally became more serious.

Her Law Power at the Huiyang level was no match for Qin Yi's Gang Qi when it was used in its solid form; it had to be transformed into Technique Method structure.

Qin Yi's outburst had exceeded her expectations.

The Wolf Tooth Club had always been with Qin Yi was something he had seen from the very beginning. He had initially thought it couldn't keep up with Qin Yi's cultivation progress and would shatter on its own when his Gang Qi erupted. But to his surprise, not only was that not the case, but with Qin Yi's progress, the Wolf Tooth Club seemed to be playing an even greater role.

It can amplify Qin Yi's power!

Just like the difference between Sword Cultivator unleashing their own Gang Qi and releasing Sword Qi through a sword, it's very obvious. At this moment, the Wolf Tooth Club was no longer merely a carrier of Qin Yi's internal Gang Qi, nor was it simply a hard weapon material. Instead, it combined the characteristics of the Wolf Tooth Club itself with Qin Yi's Gang Qi, becoming a very solid and heavy internal energy, with a suffocating force like a giant mountain pressing down.

If Sword Cultivator are called sword qi, then this is called stick qi?

It not only forms a powerful aura, but the amplification is also very strong, feeling several levels stronger than the sword aura of Sword Cultivator of the same level—is this a weapon effect?

With weapons of this caliber, Qin Yi's actual combat power would far exceed that of the Bone Forging stage!

She was intentionally testing Qin Yi, and the flower petal in her hand suddenly began to spin.

In Qin Yi's eyes, he was trapped in a painting within a painting. He was surrounded by scrolls, within which lay ten miles of lotus flowers, and he was standing on a lotus pond, sinking deeper and deeper.

The Technique Method of painting is a kind of prison.

Different paintings can produce different effects. This kind of painting, which is like sinking into mud, is the more you struggle, the easier it is to sink to the bottom. You must have an understanding and control of power to try to break free. This is Ju Yunxiu testing whether Qin Yi's power is forcibly accumulated or whether he has his own delicate control over it.

"You really don't trust me that much?" Qin Yi said, both amused and exasperated. He didn't put any force under his feet, but the Gang Qi expanded outward on its own, creating a vacuum in the lotus pond.

Qin Yi rose into the air, and the scroll transformed into specks of light, falling back into Ju Yunxiu's hands.

What followed was Wolf Tooth Club that had reached his face.

Ju Yunxiu had a sudden thought and wanted to avoid it.

But suddenly his face froze.

For a moment, she forgot that this place was merely a painting world, lacking many world elements, which restricted the use of many Technique Method and Law Treasure artifacts. She instinctively tried to use Technique Method she was accustomed to using in the outside world, but because something was missing, she couldn't use them.

Of course, the powerful Huiyang was not defeated by such a small change. She temporarily changed her Technique Method, and a Book Spirit grabbed Qin Yi's right hand and pulled him to the side. Qin Yi was once again wide open and crashed straight into her arms.

As if repeating the previous scene, Ju Yunxiu once again placed her palm on Qin Yi's chest, trying to push him away. Qin Yi's left hand suddenly shot out like lightning and grabbed her fair wrist.

Her Law Power surged forth, but it was blocked by a protective Protective Barrier of Gang Qi. Qin Yi had already grabbed her hand and held her tightly in his arms.

Ju Yunxiu was held in his arms, feeling both amused and annoyed. "With your Gang Qi, if I really unleashed my power, I could turn you into mincemeat."

"You just took advantage of Senior Sister, only wanting to push me away instead of hurting me..." Qin Yi put one arm around her waist and grabbed her wrist with the other, laughing, "Great Master Huiyang, even though you were letting me have you, I still managed to hug you so closely. Can I ask for a reward?"

Ju Yunxiu looked at him with a half-smile, feeling a little soft-hearted.

She was indeed yielding, and she was also held back by the painting world and couldn't use her Technique Method to dodge, but no matter what the reason, there was a huge gap between Qin Yi's cultivation and hers, yet he was able to get close... So this test is over, and what she wanted to test has been clearly seen.

The Lotus Pond Painting Realm alone is something that most people who have just entered the Bone Forging stage would never be able to break through, but Qin Yi broke through it very easily, because his control over the power was already as good as his own arm.

All the worries I had before vanished, replaced by peace of mind and joy.

He definitely deserves a reward. You can imagine how painful it must have been for him to break through the bone forging stage these days. Even a child who studies hard and passes an exam deserves a treat, right?

Ju Yunxiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Liusu angrily shut herself away.
