Heaven's Secrets Cannot Be Revealed

Heaven's Secrets Cannot Be Revealed

After dealing with Zhao Ling and the other two, Qin Yang hurried back to the cave abode at once.

After looking around and confirming that Tan Yurou had not been discovered and that no one had noticed anything amiss with him, he finally relaxed.

"Senior Brother Qin, you finally came back."

"Did you see my three senior sisters?"

Tan Yurou eagerly came out to ask about the situation, then received the affirmative response she had been waiting for.

"That's right."

"After I found them, it took some explaining, but with the spirit jade you gave me, they believed what I said. They've already gone back to call for reinforcements. You'll be rescued soon!"

Qin Yang said.

Tan Yurou was overjoyed.

During the several days since she had been captured, she had lived in constant dread, trapped in fear from dawn to dusk.

If she had not happened to run into Qin Yang, she might already have become medicinal material for the Old Devil Xuan Chengzi!

Thinking of this, Tan Yurou said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qin, for helping me with everything you have. We only met by chance, yet you were willing to brave danger and find a way to rescue me. I'll remember this immense kindness forever. Once we get out, I'll immediately send you a generous gift as thanks!"

This little girl certainly had a conscience.

Qin Yang secretly nodded, his impression of her improving—aside from her tendency to bite people at random.

"You don't need to thank me. After all, we're fellow disciples of the same sect. Once we leave this place and I resolve the poison from the Soul Locking Pill in my body, everything will be fine!"

"Okay!"

Tan Yurou agreed cheerfully.

As for the waiting that followed, Qin Yang naturally couldn't waste it. This was the perfect time to cultivate and improve his strength.

"By the way, Junior Sister Tan, I noticed that you haven't cultivated our Yunqing Sect's Cultivation Methods and sword techniques yet. I'll teach you some today. Then we can cultivate together and verify each other's insights. What do you think?"

He came up with an excuse.

Qin Yang knew his own cultivation talent well enough. Especially after learning from Tan Yurou in his previous life that cultivation aptitude was closely related to one's Spirit Root Quality, he had long since stopped hoping that he could master the Yunqing Sect's Cultivation Methods in a short time.

Fortunately, although he couldn't comprehend them quickly himself, he had a clever and gifted girl like Tan Yurou beside him. As long as she could help him comprehend part of them, he could still continue cultivating and improve his strength. That was enough.

"Really? Thank you, Senior Brother Qin!" Tan Yurou was indeed delighted.

She remembered that she had only entered the sect less than a month ago and had not even had time to cultivate the sect's Calm Cloud Swordplay. She had always found that a pity.

Fortunately, the Senior Brother Qin before her was very kind and was even willing to teach her Cultivation Methods for her cultivation. Naturally, she was happy to accept!

Qin Yang nodded. Every one of Tan Yurou's reactions was within his grasp.

Thus, he soon passed on both the incantations for the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method to her.

"The True Martial Qi Infusion Method? This is a high-grade spirit-level Cultivation Method in our Yunqing Sect! It seems Senior Brother Qin has quite a high status within the Yunqing Sect—at the very least, you must be an inner disciple."

After receiving it, Tan Yurou comprehended it for a while before speaking.

Qin Yang naturally put on the bearing of an inner disciple of the Yunqing Sect and nodded calmly.

"You know now. Hurry up and cultivate."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Qin!" Tan Yurou was not scheming at all. Of course, even if she had been, she could never have seen through Qin Yang's true intentions.

As Qin Yang expected, Tan Yurou, a girl born with two high-grade Spirit Roots, soon cultivated the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method to the point of achieving minor mastery. Her progress was astonishingly fast.

Throughout the process, Qin Yang shamelessly inserted himself under the guise of giving guidance, obtaining a wealth of cultivation insights from Tan Yurou.

"Senior Brother Qin, why does your Spirit Root seem so extraordinarily poor? It looks like a low-grade Fire Spirit Root. Am I mistaken?"

Tan Yurou voiced her doubts.

Her innate dual Spirit Roots had given her a pair of highly perceptive eyes, allowing her to easily see the quality of the Spirit Roots within others.

At this moment, she was utterly bewildered.

Qin Yang was clearly so lacking in talent, possessing only a low-grade Fire Spirit Root, yet he had cultivated to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm despite not being much older than her. In contrast, his control over the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method was barely at the entry level.

In many areas, let alone Qin Yang guiding her, it was already fortunate if he did not end up being the one receiving her guidance!

"Ahem, Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed. Just cultivate properly and stop worrying about all that irrelevant nonsense."

Qin Yang did not want to explain, nor could he be bothered to.

Of course, most importantly, he felt thoroughly stabbed in the heart.

At a time like this, she still had to see through his low-grade Fire Spirit Root and expose it just to hurt him?

Forget it. Since he would soon be rescued by experts from the Yunqing Sect, he would let it go for now.

For the entire following day, Qin Yang discussed the Dao with Tan Yurou—of course, it was the kind where she gave him one-sided guidance.

After this operation, his mastery of the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method had genuinely improved by quite a bit.

Before he knew it, two days had passed.

According to Qin Yang's calculations, after learning the news sent back to them, the experts from the Yunqing Sect should have been rushing here at full speed by now, right?!

In Xiabai Town, quite a few Yunqing Sect disciples with extraordinary bearing had arrived that day.

The middle-aged woman leading them looked to be around thirty years old. She was tall and graceful, at the prime of mature charm.

Even dressed in nothing more than an ordinary white robe, she could not conceal the icy beauty in her bearing!

The aura of cultivation within her was even more unfathomable.

A jade sword hung at her slender waist, radiating an awe-inspiring killing intent!

"Master, this is the last town on the sketch. From here, we can head up the mountain and find the demonic lair where Junior Sister Tan was taken by the evil cultivators!"

Zhao Ling, Fang Xinyun, and Xu Qing stood respectfully beside their master, looking utterly docile.

After all, this incident had happened because they had been careless and failed to watch Tan Yurou properly, allowing evil cultivators to capture her.

They had come this time to atone for their mistake by rendering meritorious service!

"Good. Pass down the order. We depart immediately!"

"Yurou is the most talented among the fourth-generation disciples of our Yunqing Sect, and the Tan Household's strength is also immense, enough to rival our Yunqing Sect. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Yurou."

Ye Zishuang said coldly, and icy sword light seemed to flicker within the pupils of her beautiful eyes.

Without a sound, an invisible tide of Sword Qi spread outward!

With her order issued, the nine disciples at the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm who had accompanied her prepared themselves. Without another word, they set off!
