"What do you think, Han Feng?"
Zhou Qingning's beautiful eyes settled on Han Feng's tall, straight figure as she spoke with a smile.
"Then this junior thanks you, Fairy Qingning..."
Han Feng readily accepted the offer.
He could refuse once, but not twice. A Core Formation Ancestor had already put things this plainly; if he still failed to appreciate the gesture, he would simply be courting death.
Besides, deliberately addressing her as though she were younger was also an art of speech.
When Old Monster Qiong saw Han Feng agree to Zhou Qingning's offer, his face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly, but did not say anything more.
His figure blurred, and he vanished on the spot, clearly leaving in extreme displeasure.
Zhou Qingning did not care.
With a wave of her jade-like hand, a gentle azure light swept up Han Feng and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, flying toward the depths of the Thousand Moon Mountain Range.
Before long, the two of them stopped before a mountain peak where Spiritual Energy was especially lush.
This mountain was called Qingjiang Peak.
Halfway up the mountain, two caves had been opened a short distance apart, with formidable restrictions arranged at their entrances.
After landing, Zhou Qingning waved her delicate hand, and the restriction light around the cave on the left silently dispersed.
"Han Feng, from now on, Canglan Cave on the left side of Qingjiang Peak is yours!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the stone door of another cave not far away slowly opened.
A girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen walked out of the cave.
The girl wore a pale-yellow gauze dress. Her figure had not fully developed yet, but already possessed the beginnings of its mature shape.
She had an oval face and delicate features, though a trace of childishness that had yet to fade lingered between her brows.
"Granddaughter pays respects to Grandmother..."
When the girl saw Zhou Qingning, she immediately bowed obediently. At the same time, her lively, large eyes curiously sized up Han Feng beside Zhou Qingning.
"Yueyue, this is your Senior Brother Han. From now on, he'll be cultivating in Canglan Cave beside yours. If you have the time, you can ask your Senior Brother Han for advice about cultivation."
"All right, Grandmother!" the girl answered crisply, nodding with an especially obedient air.
"Han Feng, this is my granddaughter, Xiao Yue. You can interact more in the future..."
After Zhou Qingning finished giving her instructions, she blurred into a streak of azure light and shot into the sky, not giving Han Feng any chance to ask more questions.
For a moment, only Han Feng and the girl named Xiao Yue remained on the platform halfway up the mountain.
"So you're Senior Brother Han! I heard your esteemed name as soon as I joined the sect!"
"Everyone says you're a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root rarely seen in ten thousand years. I never expected you to succeed in Foundation Establishment so quickly..."
Xiao Yue took the initiative to walk over. She lifted her little face, her large eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
"I heard you came from a loose cultivator background, yet you cultivated to the Thirteenth Level of Qi Condensation on your own before joining the sect. Little Sister truly admires you from the bottom of her heart!"
Listening to Xiao Yue, Han Feng was completely bewildered.
That tone, that manner...
She was practically a well-behaved little sister worshipping the big brother next door.
Something was wrong!
This was not how the script was supposed to go!
Wasn't the original story supposed to say that this Treasure Woman was domineering and arrogant, looking down on everyone?
Relying on her status as the descendant of a Core Formation Cultivator, wasn't she always supposed to look down on everyone?
How had she become such a well-behaved girl when it came to him?
"Looks like the kingly aura I carry naturally has already conquered this unruly girl ahead of time..."
Han Feng muttered inwardly, but merely responded with a few modest words.
"You flatter me, Junior Sister. I only happened to get lucky and break through..."
"By the way, Senior Brother Han, I've been stuck at the Tenth Level of Qi Refining for a long time. How did you break through to the eleventh level back then?"
Xiao Yue blinked her large eyes and asked with an eager, inquisitive expression.
"Just take some pills." Han Feng's answer was simple and direct.
"Huh? Is that all? Then it seems I haven't taken enough pills. Next time Grandmother comes over, I'll definitely ask her for more!"
Hearing Han Feng's words, Xiao Yue suddenly understood. She even clenched her little fists.
How could she know that the person standing before her was a cheat-enabled cultivator?
"Elder Brother Han, just call me Yueyue from now on. I like it when you call me that!"
"What a nuisance..."
After dealing with the Treasure Woman's barrage of questions, Han Feng finally found an excuse to enter his cave.
He knew very well that Xiao Yue's worshipful attitude was probably only directed at him as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
If she were dealing with an ordinary Qi Condensation disciple possessing a True Spiritual Root or a Pseudo Spiritual Root instead,
she would most likely turn back into that arrogant peacock.
Canglan Cave.
The cave was elegantly arranged, and the Spiritual Energy here was also much denser than in the cave where he had cultivated before.
When they had arrived earlier, Zhou Qingning had already removed all the original restrictions.
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Feng immediately began setting up new restrictions.
With his current attainments in formations, the restriction formation he carefully arranged could not be broken through silently and entered—not even by a Core Formation Cultivator who came in person.
Only after finishing everything did he finally relax.
Han Feng sat down cross-legged and took out the azure Jade Slip containing the Mysterious Sky Longevity Art. He sent his divine sense into it and began studying it carefully.
This cultivation method was divided into twelve levels in total. In theory, it could allow someone to cultivate all the way to the late Nascent Soul stage.
