While the things in the Xuanhuan world are difficult to learn and require a certain talent, some of them are very, very, very convenient, such as making a refrigerator.
If it were in the modern world, making a refrigerator would require many processes and parts, but not here. All it takes is to engrave a set of ice-attribute magic arrays on a large cabinet. This is exactly what Ye Yun is doing now. Using the remaining materials, he also made a hot pot and an ordinary iron sword to practice with.
The refrigerator is done, and it's almost time for lunch. Ye Yun used his ability to control objects, sitting on the simple refrigerator and fan as he flew back to his room. After placing it there, he headed to the dining hall.
Zhang Xiaofan truly has a talent for cooking, but unfortunately, no one on Great Bamboo Peak taught him, nor were there enough ingredients. Even so, it's already quite good. After all, Qingyun Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, and those ingredients are full of it, making them exceptionally delicious on their own.
Walking into the dining hall, Ye Yun realized he was a bit late. Everyone on Great Bamboo Peak had already arrived, except for Du Bishu who had already left the mountain. However, influenced by Tian Buyi, Great Bamboo Peak didn't have many strict rules. So, Ye Yun apologized and hurried to his seat. The others didn't pay much attention, except for Tian Ling'er, who winked at him, reminding him not to forget their agreement.
Since the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament was approaching, everyone went back to cultivate after dinner. Even the usually lively Tian Ling'er obediently went to the Tai Chi Cave to cultivate. It's worth noting that she rarely cultivated in the Tai Chi Cave usually, which shows the immense pressure the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament put on them.
Seeing everyone diligently cultivating, Ye Yun thought for a moment and finally found his master's wife, Su Ru, who was reading in the study.
Su Ru looked at her husband's prized disciple before her, her eyes full of tenderness. She had raised Ye Yun like her own son all these years, and Ye Yun was very promising, reaching the sixth level of Jade Purity in just three years, even more impressive than Lin Jingyu of Dragon Head Peak. He was also so sensible that it made her heart ache; he never came to her unless necessary. So, she spoke, "Little Ba, are you here to see your master's wife because you need something again?"
Since he was already here, there was no need to hesitate. Ye Yun spoke generously, "Master's wife, it's like this. Your disciple has broken through to the seventh level, so I've come to ask you to teach me the cultivation method for the next level."
"What? You've already broken through to the seventh level? How is that possible? You only broke through to the sixth level three months ago. How could it be so fast?" Su Ru was full of disbelief. Although Ye Yun was a genius, he shouldn't have progressed this quickly.
Suddenly, Su Ru thought of a possibility. She squatted down, nervously grabbed Ye Yun's hands, and said, "Little Yun, did you take any pills you refined yourself to boost your cultivation? That's absolutely not allowed. You're still young, and you don't need to participate in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament. Don't do anything reckless."
"Master's wife, it's not what you think. The reason I advanced so quickly is that I haven't been diligently chopping bamboo during this time. Instead, I seized the opportunity to cultivate. And it wasn't three months; I actually reached the sixth level a long time ago. It's just that I used all my magic power to nourish my body, so I didn't ask you for the cultivation method. Master's wife, you won't blame me, will you?" As he spoke, Ye Yun looked up at Su Ru somewhat guiltily. Seeing that her expression was normal, he felt much relieved. He had no choice; even if he told them his actual situation, Su Ru and the others wouldn't believe him. Breaking through one level every four to five months was something even Ancestor Qing Ye couldn't achieve back then. They wouldn't believe anyone could be more talented than Ancestor Qing Ye.
Su Ru took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions. This kid really loved to surprise her! Reaching the seventh level in three years was already comparable to Ancestor Qing Ye. And according to the kid, he had been using his magic power to nourish his body all these years, meaning this wasn't his limit. If he could cultivate to his fullest, perhaps he could break through to the ninth level during the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, which would make him almost invincible among the disciples.
Su Ru stroked Ye Yun's head and smiled brightly, "Good child, how could your master's wife blame you? How about this: I'll teach you all the remaining basic cultivation methods. You want to participate in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, right? As long as you can cultivate to the ninth level before the registration for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, I'll make the decision to let you participate."
"Master's wife, is what you're saying true?" Ye Yun's breathing quickened.
"Of course, it's true. When has your master's wife ever lied to you?" Su Ru said with a stern face, pretending to be angry.
Ye Yun chuckled, rubbing his hands, "Master's wife, I'm just too excited. Oh, right, Master's wife, why don't you just give me the cultivation methods for the Upper Purity realm as well, so you don't have to bother next time."
Su Ru gently patted Ye Yun's head and playfully scolded, "You brat, asking for too much at such a young age. Is the Upper Purity realm that easy to enter? However, considering the great surprise you've given me, I'll grant your wish this time. And I promise you, as long as you cultivate to the ninth level before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, I'll let your master teach you the 'Divine Sword Thunder Control True Spell' whenever you reach it. How about that?"
Hearing this, Ye Yun was overjoyed and said, "For your words, Master's wife, Little Ba will risk his life to cultivate to the ninth level before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament. Master's wife, I need to go back and cultivate. Just wait for me so Master can teach me the 'Divine Sword Thunder Control True Spell'."
"Alright, your master's wife will wait for your good news," Su Ru said, casually taking a book from the table and handing it to Ye Yun. The cover of the book clearly read "Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao."
After bidding farewell to Su Ru, Ye Yun went straight to his private chamber in the Tai Chi Cave. He studied the manual in his hand once, confirmed that it was indeed the cultivation method for the Jade Purity and subsequent realms, and then began to cultivate again. As Ye Yun moved, the spiritual energy in the secret chamber rapidly gathered around him, then slowly seeped into his body.
Time flies when cultivating. When a person is wholeheartedly focused on one thing, they don't feel the passage of time. Ye Yun was just like that. When he emerged from the Tai Chi Cave, the sky was already full of stars. When he returned to his small courtyard, he noticed that the lights were still on. Pushing open the door, he saw a familiar figure, so familiar he couldn't be more familiar with her, lying on the table. In front of her was an exquisite food box.
"Senior Sister," Ye Yun's vision blurred with tears for a moment. At this moment, his eyes could only see that red figure.
After a long while, Ye Yun slowly came back to his senses. He carefully placed Tian Ling'er on the bed, took off her shoes, and then covered her with the quilt. Although it was hot on Great Bamboo Peak during the day in summer, it still got a bit cool at night.
After finishing these tasks, Ye Yun realized he was starving. Disregarding the fact that the food in the food box had gone cold, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat ravenously, quickly finishing all the dishes.
After Ye Yun finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, glanced at the sleeping Tian Ling'er, fetched some cold water to wash up briefly, and then lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep. After Ye Yun fell asleep, the plump figure hidden in the shadows of the courtyard quietly departed.
