"Junior Disciple!"

A clear voice rang out.

Ye Ping withdrew his thoughts and looked towards the speaker.

It was his Junior Disciple Sister, Chen Lingrou.

The Qingyun Dao Sect had a total of seven disciples.

The Eldest Senior Brother Su Changyu, Second Senior Brother Xu Luochen, Third Senior Brother Wang Zhuoyu, Fourth Senior Brother Zhang Xuezhuàn, Fifth Senior Brother Lin Bei.

The Eldest Senior Sister Xiao Muxue, and Junior Disciple Sister Chen Lingrou.

These Senior Brothers and Sisters were mostly elusive, only encountered occasionally during meals. Most of the time, he hadn't formally met them.

Especially the Eldest Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Brother, Ye Ping had never even seen them; Su Changyu had only mentioned them.

However, it had to be said that Junior Disciple Sister Chen Lingrou was exceptionally beautiful.

She looked younger than him, but because she joined the sect earlier, by seniority, Ye Ping truly had to call her Senior Sister.

Chen Lingrou was exactly seventeen years old, in the prime of her youth. She wasn't tall, about six feet three inches, with skin as white as snow, hands like delicate shoots, and gentle peach blossom eyes. Coupled with her well-developed figure, she could be considered a minor beauty.

Mainly, she was still young, giving her a childish aura. If she were a few years older, she would be a peerless beauty.

This kind of exquisite beauty evoked a feeling of returning youth.

"Greetings, Junior Disciple Sister."

Ye Ping harbored no improper thoughts. Cultivators must maintain a clear mind and absolutely avoid lust.

Although Chen Lingrou was indeed very beautiful.

"Junior Disciple Brother, why aren't you meditating on swordplay at the back cliff?"

Chen Lingrou approached with a smile, stopping directly in front of Ye Ping.

She was very pure, having lived her entire life within the Qingyun Dao Sect. Even when she descended the mountain, she rarely interacted with strangers. Now that the sect had a new Junior Disciple Brother, Chen Lingrou was quite excited.

"Replying to Junior Disciple Sister, Senior Brother Luo Chen asked me to come to the Scripture Pavilion to look at some books, so I wouldn't be ignorant of common knowledge."

Ye Ping retreated slightly. It wasn't that he disliked Chen Lingrou, but rather that she was standing too close. Ye Ping could even smell her body fragrance.

Such beauty, who could resist?

"He asked you to come to the Scripture Pavilion? Senior Brother Luo Chen is really good at saving trouble."

Chen Lingrou muttered. Then, she noticed Ye Ping quietly stepping back a few paces and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Junior Disciple Brother, why are you backing away?"

Chen Lingrou was naive and didn't quite understand the concept of boundaries between men and women. After all, she had always been raised by the Eldest Senior Sister, so she naturally wasn't very aware of such things.

"No, my legs are just a bit numb."

Ye Ping spoke, feeling a little awkward. The person before him was several years younger than him, and he had to call her Senior Sister. But that was fine; cultivation didn't depend on age. Some people could go into seclusion for hundreds of years, so age wasn't a significant factor.

The main issue was that being this close was definitely not good. What if one of the Senior Brothers saw them and thought he was doing something inappropriate?

"Oh, oh, Junior Disciple Brother, you must work hard. After some time, Senior Sister will teach you the supreme great dao."

Chen Lingrou didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, she came up to Ye Ping, patted his shoulder, and said with a serious expression.

The supreme great dao?

Ye Ping gave a wry smile. He believed that everyone in the sect was an unparalleled expert, but this Junior Disciple Sister was probably a bit questionable. Her talent might be better than his, but an unparalleled expert? That was unlikely.

However, Ye Ping didn't look down on Chen Lingrou at all. On the contrary, he felt quite good about her.

After all, Chen Lingrou was very polite and friendly towards him. Plus, she was so beautiful, who could possibly dislike her?

"Junior Disciple Sister, may I ask, can I learn this secret manual?"

Suddenly, Ye Ping pointed to the 'Three Thousand Six Hundred Immortal Aperture Marvelous Method' manual on the bookshelf and asked.

"Yes, you can learn it if you want to,"

Chen Lingrou glanced at it and said casually.

"Can I? I was worried that practicing randomly might cause me to go mad."

Ye Ping was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he could actually cultivate it.

"No, no, these are all very basic secret manuals. How could they possibly cause you to go mad?"

Chen Lingrou waved her hand dismissively, appearing very casual.

The secret manuals in the Scripture Pavilion were all very ordinary and posed no risk of causing one to go mad.

However, these words sounded different in Ye Ping's ears.

This kind of manual was considered basic?

Then what would be considered non-basic?

"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Disciple Sister."

Ye Ping said gratefully.

"It's nothing, nothing. Junior Disciple Brother, you must cultivate diligently and believe in yourself. Oh, right, from now on, don't call me Junior Disciple Sister, just call me Ling'er Senior Sister."

Chen Lingrou looked very pleased, and even more beautiful.

"Mhm, thank you, little, Senior Ling'er," Ye Ping said. Chen Lingrou also left the Scripture Repository. Although she wanted to chat with Ye Ping, she understood that she couldn't reveal anything, so a simple greeting was enough.

After Chen Lingrou left.

Ye Ping immediately took the secret manual, 'Three Thousand Six Hundred Immortal Aperture Marvelous Method'.

Soon, Ye Ping opened the manual.

Instantly, lines of small text appeared before his eyes.

[Humans are the chief of all spirits, possessing Golden Treasures within their bodies, with three thousand six hundred immortal hidden acupoints.]

Half an hour later.

Ye Ping finished reading the secret manual.

After reading it, Ye Ping was somewhat shaken.

The 'Three Thousand Six Hundred Immortal Aperture Marvelous Method' was broadly simple in its content.

The manual introduced that the human body contained many 'Golden Treasures', and these treasures were all sealed within the 'acupoints'.

If one could open the acupoints, they could absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth on their own, thereby nourishing the physical body and accelerating cultivation speed.

Simultaneously, by activating thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight, three hundred and sixty-five, seven hundred and twenty, or three thousand six hundred immortal acupoints, one could also awaken innate physical talents, each possessing extremely potent effects.

In other words, for every immortal acupoint opened, cultivation speed would double. If all three thousand six hundred immortal acupoints were opened, then the cultivation speed would be three thousand six hundred times that of an ordinary person.

This was why Ye Ping was so shocked.

His greatest, greatest, greatest flaw was his extremely poor cultivation aptitude.

But if he could cultivate this 'Three Thousand Six Hundred Immortal Aperture Marvelous Method', wouldn't that compensate for this deficiency?

Never mind three thousand six hundred immortal acupoints, even opening ten would be incredible.

With this thought, Ye Ping carefully and thoroughly read the cultivation method one more time before heading straight to the back cliff of Qingyun.

Arriving at the back cliff of Qingyun.

Ye Ping felt a sense of impatience.

Opening acupoints was partly to compensate for his aptitude, and partly to cultivate the Primordial Demonic Art.

Having already comprehended the Primordial Demonic Art, not cultivating it would remain a persistent worry. Naturally, Ye Ping wanted to condense the Primordial Demonic Body as soon as possible.

In the back cliff area.

Ye Ping closed his eyes.

The Three Thousand Six Hundred Immortal Aperture Marvelous Method recorded that to open an acupoint, one must first meditate to find the immortal acupoints within their body.

Once found, one would guide spiritual energy into the body. When it happened naturally, the immortal acupoint could be opened.

However, there was one point Ye Ping was still unclear about: would opening acupoints be very slow if one had poor aptitude?

But these were not major issues.

Ye Ping sat cross-legged, his mind completely blank.

After calming his mind, he began to meditate on the immortal acupoints.

Time passed bit by bit.

An hour later.

As a gentle breeze blew.

Suddenly, in Ye Ping's mind, an image appeared.
