Heaven's Secrets Cannot Be Revealed

Chapter 40: Heaven's Secrets Cannot Be Revealed

After dealing with Zhao Ling and the other two, Qin Yang rushed back to his cave abode.

He looked around and was relieved to find that Tan Yurou had not been discovered, nor had he shown any unusual signs.

"Senior Brother Qin, you're finally back."

"Did you see my three senior sisters?"

Tan Yurou eagerly came out to ask about the situation and received a positive response.

"Yes."

"After finding them, although it took some effort, with the spirit jade you have, they believed what I said and have gone to get reinforcements. You'll be rescued soon!" Qin Yang said.

This made Tan Yurou overjoyed.

For the several days she was captured, she lived in constant fear and dread. If not for meeting Qin Yang, she might have already become a medicinal ingredient for the Old Devil Xuan Chengzi!

Thinking of this, Tan Yurou said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qin, for helping me with all your might. We only met by chance, yet you risked danger to save me. I will never forget this great kindness. Once we get out, I will immediately present you with a generous gift as thanks!"

This little girl is quite conscientious, Qin Yang thought to himself, having a good impression of her, aside from her tendency to bite.

"No need to thank me. After all, we are fellow disciples. 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 happily agreed.

Qin Yang naturally wouldn't waste the waiting time. This was the perfect opportunity to cultivate and improve his strength.

"By the way, Junior Sister Tan, I noticed you haven't practiced our Yunqing Sect's techniques and sword arts. I'll teach you some today. How about we cultivate together and verify our understanding?" he said, using it as an excuse.

Qin Yang was well aware of his own cultivation talent, especially after learning from Tan Yurou in his previous life that cultivation talent was closely related to one's Spirit Root Quality. He no longer held out hope of mastering the Yunqing Sect's techniques in a short period. Fortunately, even if he couldn't comprehend them quickly, with a smart and gifted genius like Tan Yurou, as long as she could help him understand certain parts, he could still continue to cultivate and improve his strength, which was enough.

"Really? Thank you, Senior Brother Qin!" Tan Yurou was truly surprised. She thought about how she had only joined the sect less than a month ago and hadn't even had time to practice the sect's Calm Cloud Swordplay, which she deeply regretted. Fortunately, Senior Brother Qin was so kind and willing to teach her cultivation techniques; she was naturally delighted!

Qin Yang nodded. Tan Yurou's reactions were all within his expectations. Thus, he quickly passed on the incantations for the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method to her.

"True Martial Qi Infusion Method, this is a High-grade Spirit technique within our Yunqing Sect! It seems Senior Brother Qin has quite a good standing in our sect, at least an inner disciple level," Tan Yurou said after studying it for a while.

Qin Yang naturally put on the demeanor of an inner disciple of the Yunqing Sect, nodding calmly. "You know then, cultivate quickly."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Qin!" Tan Yurou was guileless. Of course, even if she had any ulterior motives, she wouldn't be able to see through Qin Yang's true intentions.

As Qin Yang expected, the girl with the innate High-grade dual Spirit Roots, Tan Yurou, quickly cultivated the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method to a satisfactory level, progressing rapidly. During this process, Qin Yang shamelessly participated under the guise of guidance, gaining many cultivation insights from Tan Yurou!

"Senior Brother Qin, why does your Spirit Root seem extremely poor? Like a Low-grade Fire Spirit Root. Am I mistaken?" Tan Yurou questioned. Her innate dual Spirit Roots gave her a pair of exceptionally perceptive eyes, allowing her to easily discern the Spirit Root Quality within others. At this moment, she was extremely puzzled. Senior Brother Qin, with such poor talent, merely a Low-grade Fire Spirit Root, had cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer at a younger age than herself. In contrast, his mastery of the Calm Cloud Swordplay and True Martial Qi Infusion Method was only at the introductory stage. In many aspects, it would be more appropriate for her to guide him rather than him guiding her!

"Ahem, Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed. Just cultivate diligently and don't worry about irrelevant things," Qin Yang replied, unwilling and too lazy to explain. Of course, the most important reason was that it was too disheartening. At this point, she still saw through his Low-grade Fire Spirit Root and hurt his feelings? Fine, since reinforcements from the Yunqing Sect were expected soon, he would let it slide for now.

For the rest of the day, Qin Yang discussed the Dao with Tan Yurou, though it was more of him being unilaterally instructed. Through this process, his mastery of the Calm Cloud Swordplay and the True Martial Qi Infusion Method had indeed improved significantly.

Time passed unnoticed, and two days had already gone by. According to Qin Yang's calculations, the experts from the Yunqing Sect should be rushing over by now after receiving the news sent back!

Today, Xiabai Town was bustling with many Yunqing Sect disciples of extraordinary bearing.

The middle-aged woman leading them appeared to be no older than thirty, tall and graceful, at the peak of her maturity and charm.

Even in a simple, plain white dress, she couldn't hide her cold, elegant aura!

Within her, her cultivation seemed unfathomably deep.

A jade sword hung from her slender waist, exuding an aura of deadly sharpness!

"Master, this is the last town on the map. From here, we ascend the mountain to find the evil cultivator's lair where Junior Sister Tan was taken!"

Zhao Ling, Fang Xinyun, and Xu Qing stood respectfully beside their Master, looking obedient.

After all, this incident happened because of their carelessness, leading to Tan Yurou being captured by an evil cultivator.

They were here to atone for their mistakes!

"Good. Send the order. We depart immediately!"

"Yurou is the most talented among our Yunqing Sect's fourth-generation disciples, and the Tan family's influence is immense, comparable to the Yunqing Sect itself. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Yurou," Ye Zishuang said coldly, her beautiful eyes seeming to flicker with icy sword light.

An invisible, powerful sword qi emanated from her.

As she gave the command, the nine Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer disciples accompanying her were ready and set off without a word!
