With You Is Immortality
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Li Duanxuan spoke at length, mostly about the cultivation methods of the Penglai Sword Pavilion, Qin Yi found quite insightful.
What Liusu taught was mostly general outlines, macro-level concepts. She always left the details for Qin Yi to figure out on his own, only offering Liusu when Qin Yi genuinely didn't understand and specifically asked questions.
It's not that Liusu didn't want to teach him, but rather that she had said long ago, "I don't want to teach him to become a second Liusu," because everyone's suitable path is different.
This demonstrates Liusu's magnanimity and foresight; it is the work of a true master teacher.
However, this did cause Qin Yi to not understand many details, requiring him to gradually explore and comprehend them through combat. Now, Li Duanxuan's lecture, especially the latter half on the Sword Pavilion method, provided Qin Yi with a lot of confirmation, and many things that were previously unclear suddenly became clear.
As for the process of changing perspectives on the world in the first half, that's something Li Duanxuan said he wanted Li Qingjun to verify for herself in the future. It's a long-term experience guide, not something that can be understood now.
Because your cultivation hasn't reached that level yet, you're only seeing things through a fog and can't experience what the world they see looks like.
Back at the backyard of the cliff, which was Li Qingjun's residence, the two closed the door, looked at each other, their thoughts still somewhat unsettled, still immersed in the subtle feelings of "Tao".
After a long while, the two of them smiled at each other.
"Master usually has a stern face and is very fierce," Li Qingjun said with a smile. "I never expected that when I talk to you, you would be so reasonable and even explain the Sword Pavilion's techniques to you."
Qin Yi smoothed his hair. "Of course it's because I'm outstanding."
"Stop being so vain. It's clearly because men are birds of a feather." Li Qingjun retorted, "What do you mean by 'a hundred times more than you'... that's no good."
Qin Yi hugged her and chuckled, "We have to thank him for finding so many. If he hadn't found a few, my Qing Jun might not be here anymore. He's a really good guy."
"Pooh."
Qin Yi was increasingly convinced of Liusu's correctness: wanting to have two women on each side was never the problem; the problem lay in whether you were strong enough, or rather, whether you were qualified enough. Otherwise, let alone having two women on each side, even getting one would be difficult.
At least in Li Duanxuan's evaluation system, Qin Yi is currently qualified. Once he "fades into mediocrity," Li Duanxuan will be the first to disagree. No matter what your youthful feelings are, they are utterly worthless in their evaluation system.
The saying "marrying an emperor" has a hidden meaning.
This is an investment with political significance and future value.
Even if he says he's bored and too lazy to think, his subconscious thoughts are naturally like this.
It's not exactly "snobbish," because they're after you as a person, not what sect you belong to, what kind of aristocratic Aristocratic Clan you're from, or how many Law Treasure and Spirit Stone mines you can produce. They're looking at your personal abilities and qualities that make you trustworthy. If Qin Yi were the elder himself, his standards for his son-in-law Apprentice Son-in-Law would be exactly the same, without any difference.
"Your master is indeed different from others. After all, he is probably the only cultivator who has ever been an emperor in the mortal world. No wonder he handles the main affairs of the Sword Pavilion. His thinking and ability to deal with things are definitely not on the same level as ordinary swordsmen who cultivate in seclusion and do not care about worldly affairs."
Li Qingjun pointed to her nose. "Me too."
Qin Yi smiled, "Yeah, you too."
Li Qingjun lifted his chin. "My beloved concubine, you are mine today."
Qin Yi was both amused and exasperated. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Li Qingjun leaned quietly against him, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat, and remained silent for a moment.
After a long while, Li Qingjun whispered, "You really are mine now."
"Hmm." Qin Yi understood what she meant. The second hurdle they faced was over. They had Li Duanxuan's support, and their relationship was now set in stone. There would be no more external disturbances; everything was up to them.
It felt like a long march, and finally, the dust has settled.
"A liar," Li Qingjun murmured. "He's been a liar from the very beginning."
Qin Yi held her without speaking. The wooden house before them seemed to have changed, transforming into their old hut in Immortal Trace Village. Li Qingjun burst in, gun in hand, shouting, "Liar!"
Then he hung him upside down and soaked him in liquid.
Two people who didn't like each other back then, who would have thought they would become the people they are today?
"I didn't lie to you back then..." he finally whispered in response.
"You lied to me. I went there to seek immortality, but you really were an immortal, yet you didn't tell me properly, instead pretending to be a clumsy Fangshi..."
"I wasn't an immortal back then," Qin Yi said softly. "And I still am."
Li Qingjun raised her head slightly. "If even soaring through the clouds isn't considered immortal, then what is? Is it someone above the Qian Yuan realm, like Master?"
Liusu stood with her hands on her hips inside the stick, thinking to herself, "Your master is nothing, I'm the one who counts."
"No..." Qin Yi whispered in his ear, "With you in my arms, I feel like I'm in heaven."
Liusu tripped and fell.
Li Qingjun's gaze instantly softened into spring water. "He really is... a big liar."
"Actually..." Qin Yi paused, his gaze falling on a corner of the table in the room, "Seeing them makes me feel like I've ascended to heaven."
Li Qingjun followed his gaze and saw a small book tube on the corner of the table, with toothpaste and a toothbrush inserted diagonally inside.
That was something Qin Yi "invented". But nowadays, with changes in physical constitution, people no longer need these things... But Li Qingjun still kept a set and displayed it in her new house.
The reason is self-evident: not for the toothbrush, but simply because I miss him.
Liusu watched in silence, thinking to herself that this could truly melt the heart of this stinky cat; she wouldn't trade it for a god.
Qin Yi lowered his head and kissed her. Li Qingjun responded gently, and just as their passion was reaching its peak, Chu Jiantian's voice came from outside. "Junior Sister, Brother Qin, are you still there?"
They separated as if struck by lightning, then exchanged a smile. Whether they were disturbed or not was no longer an issue; they had a long, long life ahead of them.
The two straightened their clothes and went outside. Chu Jiantian, hovering on the edge of the cliff, laughed and said, "Did I disturb your good time?"
"No..." Qin Yi said without changing his expression, "Brother Chu has returned from forging the sword?"
"Hmm, I added some materials to the blade and reforged it. Damn, the queue is so long, I've already made an appointment three days ago." Chu Jiantian, "Let's not talk about that. Now that Brother Qin has come to my Sword Pavilion, it's not good for you to just hide in your junior sister's room, is it? Why don't you go out and have some fun?"
Li Qingjun retorted, "What's fun about Sword Pavilion?"
Chu Jiantian chuckled, thinking that there really wasn't much to do in the Sword Pavilion, and everyone was quite bored. Of course, there were some places for sword enlightenment and trials that were worth visiting, but those were not places Qin Yi could go.
Qin Yi said, "Actually, there are quite a few fun things to see, such as the Sword Casting Platform that Brother Chu mentioned earlier. I'm very interested in checking it out."
Chu Jiantian asked curiously, "Brother Qin, aren't you short of sticks?"
What do you mean by not having enough sticks...? But now that you mention it, it seems quite accurate; one stick really isn't enough...
Seeing Qin Yi's strange expression, Chu Jiantian added, "Or are you worried about further rule restrictions and need a backup?"
"It's best that you can help me find excuses..." Qin Yi was greatly pleased. "Indeed, we can get a spare one, just in case. In addition, I have obtained Senior Li Duanxuan's consent to purchase some medicines and materials from your esteemed establishment... This must involve different departments, right? Qing Jun has hardly left the Sword Pavilion in the three years we've been here, so he may not be familiar with it. Why don't you show us around, Brother Chu?"
"You've come to the right place to buy things," Chu Jiantian laughed. "In this Ten Thousand Li Sea Region, there really isn't anything that my Penglai Sword Pavilion doesn't produce."
"It's not necessarily designed for products from the sea; it just needs to be suitable."
"You have a specific goal? That's not necessarily true. Let's go to the Internal Affairs Hall and get a list first..." Chu Jiantian stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If not, there is a place we can go for a walk."
Qin Yi asked curiously, "Where?"
Chu Jiantian laughed and said, "After the treasure appraisal on Tianya Island, didn't Brother Qin say that finding bargains in the cultivator Town Market would be even more fun?"
Qin Yi suddenly realized that he absolutely had to go!
