Junior Sister Is Actually Injured

Since Qiu Changtian, with the help of his Junior Sister Xu Yinglian, had already thoroughly memorized the Three Caves Chapters.

Luo Yan, on his end, only skimmed through the twenty-four chapters of scriptures and then began to look at other books.

Luo Yan's character template's innate talent was called "One Hear Thousand Comprehensions."

Its effects were extensive knowledge, photographic memory, superior deductive and analytical abilities, the ability to see the minute and deduce the significant, inferring one thing from another, and so on...

With successive advancements, one could deduce the universe from a single leaf, a super-talent that any diligent student would dream of.

Of course, the description above was a bit exaggerated, but it was enough to illustrate the terrifying boost that the "One Hear Thousand Comprehensions" talent provided to a cultivator's logical reasoning, memory, and calculation abilities.

As long as intelligence increased, it would also significantly aid in auxiliary arts such as formations, talismans, alchemy, artifact refining, divination, and the hundred other skills.

With the enhancement of "One Hear Thousand Comprehensions," Luo Yan only needed to read a book once to grasp its main points and essence.

Since the Three Caves Chapters, which were the main focus of the exam, had already been studied, he could leisurely choose and read other scriptures.

Unknowingly, the books around him piled up into a small mountain.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, the scenery around him suddenly changed.

When Luo Yan came to his senses, he found himself teleported to another room by a formation.

It was bright and clean, with a desk by the window. On the desk lay a stack of test papers, and beside them were inkstones, brushes, and paper, all exuding a classical charm.

Luo Yan pulled up a chair and sat down. After composing himself, he picked up his brush and quickly began answering the questions.

After finishing all one thousand questions, Luo Yan leisurely picked up the test paper. Just as he was about to inspect all the questions and answers with the demeanor of a king of test-takers, a white jade puppet walked in from outside, picked up the test papers, scanned them one by one, and mechanically announced:

"Written test score: one thousand points."

"Number of times entering the Daoist Scripture Pavilion for reference: one."

"Overall evaluation: Top Jia."

"According to sect rules, you are now permitted to become a Top Jia disciple of the Yuqing Temple, the 280th generation."

"Please follow me to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to register your entry."

Luo Yan followed the white jade puppet out. Seeing that it was still the main entrance of the Daoist Scripture Pavilion, he wanted to share the good news with Miss Shi Liuli from before.

Huh? Where did that young lady go?

After registering at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Luo Yan officially became a proud disciple of the Penglai Yuqing Temple.

Of course, the Sky Mending Stone fragments from Penglai were still hidden in some mysterious location.

The Kunlun Mirror had searched for a long time and could only sense that the other party was within the Yuqing Temple, but its exact location remained unknown.

He supposed it could only be handled gradually.

Returning to Shushan after reloading the save, Ling Yunpo continued to practice the Shushan Sword Control Art.

He didn't know how the Penglai Sword Control Art was, as Luo Yan hadn't learned it yet.

But at least the Kunlun Sword Control Art was definitely far inferior to Shushan's; its teaching materials were too simple and crude.

Ling Yunpo even felt that if he continued to practice the Shushan Sword Control Art, it would greatly benefit Qiu Changtian's progress in the Kunlun Sword Control Art.

After all, both originated from the ancient Heavenly Origin Sect's swordsmanship.

On the other hand, with Senior Sister An, a great master of the Abode Transformation Stage, lowering her status to spar with him daily, Ling Yunpo's swordsmanship cultivation naturally grew rapidly.

Speaking of which, since his cheap master, True Lord Qisha Su Jian, was in seclusion, An Zhisu couldn't obtain the Golden Core cultivation method. Therefore, even though her Abode Transformation Stage cultivation was complete, she couldn't take that crucial step, which made Ling Yunpo feel very regretful.

If I reach the Abode Transformation Stage and Master still hasn't emerged from seclusion, I'll use the connections of Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan to get a Golden Core cultivation method. I'll say that Ling Yunpo obtained it while training outside, so that Senior Sister An can successfully form her Golden Core!

Well, where is Senior Sister An?

Ling Yunpo waited until midnight, and finally, a sword light gracefully descended. As expected, it was Senior Sister An, covered in blood.

However, while her blood used to be that of others, she was now truly covered in wounds.

As soon as she landed, Ling Yunpo immediately rushed forward and asked, half anxiously and half angrily:

"Senior Sister! What happened to you? Who injured you like this?"

"Senior Sister is fine," An Zhisu said weakly.

As soon as she touched the ground, she lost her balance and stumbled forward.

Ling Yunpo quickly caught her and scanned her with his divine sense.

Fortunately, she had only exhausted her true essence and fainted; her life was not in immediate danger.

Even so, post-injury treatment was still necessary.

Ling Yunpo carried her into the quiet room and examined her carefully.

Due to the excessive bleeding, many of An Zhisu's wounds were unclear.

He had no choice but to remove all her clothes, stripping Senior Sister An completely.

Hmm, now I can see clearly: a slash on her neck, a chopping wound from her right shoulder to below her left chest, a penetrating wound on the right side of her abdomen, and a stab wound on her left leg.

As for the traces of Daoist magic burns and rampant sword qi, they were countless.

He had no choice but to handle it one by one. First, he carefully wiped away the surrounding blood with a warm towel. Then, he secretly circulated the Shushan Sword Art mental cultivation method, slowly drawing out the residual Sword Qi from the wound and dispersing it into the air.

This way, Senior Sister An's complexion, while still unconscious, improved considerably. It seemed her pain had lessened.

He then took the Nine Splendor Jade Dew Pills, Six Bear Profound Yellow Powder, Heavenly Mechanism Guiding Pills, and other items, grinding them finely in a mortar. He boiled water with herbs like kudzu leaves and Pao Pao, mixed it into a paste, and applied it to the wound before bandaging it.

This would not only accelerate wound healing but also prevent damage to her foundation. It was a good remedy recorded in the Daoist scriptures Luo Yan had read, and he was putting it to use immediately.

After he finished treating her, Senior Sister An still hadn't woken up.

Ling Yunpo stared at Senior Sister An's reclining form, wondering if he had missed any steps.

Oh, right.

Sister had sustained a sword injury. It was possible that some malicious Sword Qi had entered her body and was now traveling through her meridians.

If it wasn't handled properly, it could lead to endless future trouble.

No, no, I must thoroughly check everything.

So, he continued to meticulously examine Senior Sister An's entire body.

However, Sister's body was too well-developed; where it should be concave, it was concave, and where it should be convex, it was convex, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of his examination.

After probing her entire body with his divine sense, he indeed found no hidden Sword Qi.

Excellent, this puts my mind at ease.

Finally, he retrieved Senior Sister An's clothes, intending to put them on her.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister An was unconscious, and ancient women's clothing, with its hidden clasps and ties, was very difficult to put on.

After several failed attempts, he was at a loss and could only wrap Senior Sister An in the bedding.

The clothes were placed nearby for her to put on herself when she woke up.

The night was long, and he couldn't stop worrying about Senior Sister, so Ling Yunpo sat beside her, keeping a silent vigil.

After an unknown amount of time, Senior Sister An let out a soft moan and slowly regained consciousness.

"Junior Brother..." she mumbled groggily.

"Sister." Ling Yunpo picked her up through the quilt and helped her sit up, leaning against the wall.

An Zhisu rested her head on his shoulder, her dark hair falling down.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister, are you awake?" Ling Yunpo asked softly.

An Zhisu didn't answer, merely staring silently at the ground.

"If you're awake, you can take your medicine." Ling Yunpo took out a few Nine Splendor Jade Dew Pills and offered them to An Zhisu's lips.

Senior Sister An's lips, however, were tightly pursed. No matter how he tried to push them in, she remained unresponsive.

He said helplessly, "Sister, can you please open your mouth?"

"Sis... Junior Brother!" An Zhisu finally opened her mouth, but her words were filled with anger and urgency, "How could you just take off Sister's clothes!"

"Sister!" Ling Yunpo recounted her previous situation, explaining how he had been forced to act.

The key point was that he hadn't touched her at all; he had only used his divine sense to examine her!

An Zhisu was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of shyness and annoyance, her voice gradually lowering:

"Th-then you still shouldn't have taken them off..."

Towards the end, her voice became as faint as a mosquito's hum, fading into silence.

After a long while, she spoke again, her voice sounding a little strange:

"You, you go out first."

Ling Yunpo pushed the door open and stepped outside, gazing up at the night sky filled with countless stars.

From behind the door came the rustling sound of clothes being put on.

After a while, Senior Sister An emerged slowly, standing beside him.

"Junior Brother," she sighed softly, "I'm afraid our Green Snail Peak will have to endure hardships from now on."
