A Simp Won't Get a Senior Sister

Luo Yan's situation over there had come to a temporary end, and his synchronization value had finally escaped the danger zone.

Therefore, after Shi Liuli took him to a private room in the Heavenly Crafting Workshop to settle in, Luo Yan saved his progress and then reloaded to transfer his body to Shushan, adopting Ling Yunpo's persona using the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.

[Location 2: Shushan, Shangqing Sect, Green Snail Peak.]

[Character Identity: Ling Yunpo.]

Recently, Senior Sister An Zhisu had been particularly enthusiastic. Even though he possessed the Innate Sword Bone and a robust physique, she had trained him to the point of near death.

Furthermore, to practice the dual-wielding Sword Control Technique, Senior Sister An had reportedly invited someone to teach him, though he didn't know who it was.

Ling Yunpo stayed in his room for a while before taking out the Qingping Sword, intending to go for a walk.

Before he even reached the main hall, he heard a strange male voice coming from inside:

"The Senior Sister of Shi Ziming in the past fell at your hands, which is why Shi Ziming isn't seeking revenge for the Ministry of Political Affairs, but out of personal grudges..."

"I know, Junior Brother Lin," An Zhisu said irritably.

Ling Yunpo instinctively thought she was calling him, but then realized it was "Lin" and not "Ling."

Well, Senior Sister An's accent was a soft Wu dialect, so it was quite normal for her not to distinguish between front and back nasal sounds.

"Shi Ziming is already dead, so I don't intend to pursue this further," An Zhisu continued. "The immediate priority is..."

"Let me finish!" the male voice interrupted her, speaking urgently. "Shi Ziming's False Core method was precisely Purple Cloud Peak's 'Purple Qi Gathering at the Crown'!"

"Do you understand? Although Shi Ziming harbored hatred towards you, it was Purple Cloud Peak that fanned the flames from behind!"

"It was precisely because Purple Cloud Peak failed to harm you that time that they shifted their target to harm your Junior Brother."

"If Ling Yunpo goes to fight Lou Zhizheng, it will be like stepping directly into a trap they've set."

"If I were you, I would never let Junior Brother Ling go into danger alone!"

An Zhisu sighed:

"Junior Brother Ling has already made up his mind, and I truly cannot persuade him further..."

"Then I will persuade him," the male voice said.

Who the hell are you! Ling Yunpo was furious and strode into the main hall.

He saw An Zhisu standing in the center of the hall, dressed in white, her eyes filled with worry.

A strange young man stood beside her, wearing a blue robe and carrying a sword box on his back. He had a stern expression and was speaking to her in a low voice.

Seeing Ling Yunpo emerge from the back courtyard, An Zhisu immediately put away her worry, put on a smile, and beckoned him over:

"Junior Brother, this is Senior Brother Lin Duanshan. I invited him to teach you the dual-wielding Sword Control Technique."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin," Ling Yunpo said with a faint cupped-hand salute.

"King Kong Peak, Lin Duanshan," the other party returned the salute, saying proudly, "Let me make one thing clear from the start."

"Senior Sister An invited me to teach you. Although I agreed, I am not your master, and I have no obligation to explain things in a way you can understand!"

"If your talent is insufficient and you cannot learn what I teach, then give up the competition early and don't let your Senior Sister worry about you!"

Oh really? Ling Yunpo laughed in anger.

What kind of trash are you, daring to disrespect me in front of my Senior Sister?

"Senior Brother Lin is third on the Immortal Sword Ranking," An Zhisu said with a smile from the side. "Don't mind his blunt words; he actually has a cold exterior but a warm heart. Since he agreed to teach you, he will definitely teach you well."

Third on the Immortal Sword Ranking? Ling Yunpo frowned, realizing this person was not simple.

The so-called Immortal Sword Ranking was a somewhat pointless system designed by Shushan's Shangqing Sect to encourage competition among disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Every so often, the Shangqing Sect would hold internal competitions, and this Immortal Sword Ranking would be determined based on the results.

To some extent, the Immortal Sword Ranking did have its significance—it directly displayed the strength of each disciple.

If you were ranked thirtieth on the Immortal Sword Ranking, you should know your place and absolutely not challenge anyone in the top ten, or you wouldn't even know how you died.

After all, the cultivation world lacked the internet and had poor information flow. Unless you were as formidable as the top-ranked Grass Cutting Sword Immortal, who had practically made enemies with every Sword Peak, your reputation would hardly spread to other peaks.

For example, this Lin Duanshan from King Kong Peak, Ling Yunpo had never heard of his great name before.

But upon hearing "Third on the Immortal Sword Ranking," ah, understood. A formidable expert in the Abode Transformation Stage, slightly weaker than his Senior Sister. This instantly clarified the opponent's strength and realm.

"Then I request Senior Brother Lin's guidance," he said reservedly.

"Hmph," Lin Duanshan snorted coldly and walked outside.

In the open space outside the Green Snail Peak Daoist temple, Lin Duanshan summoned two Flying Swords, which hovered side-by-side in front of him. He said:

"The one on the right is my Destiny Sword Artifact, the ninth-order Earth Element Flying Sword 'Kaiyue'."

"The one on the left is my commonly used secondary sword, the ninth-order Metal Element Flying Sword 'Changbing'."

"To guide you in the Qi circulation method of the dual-wielding Sword Control Technique, we only need to spar in swordsmanship; there's no need to use our cultivation or the Daoist magic on our swords," he said suddenly in a deep voice. "Ling Yunpo! Draw your sword!"

Ling Yunpo immediately formed a sword seal, and the Qingping Sword flew out from behind his back, stopping in front of him:

"This is my tenth-order Water Element Flying Sword, 'Qingping'," he announced loudly. "As Senior Brother said, we will only spar in swordsmanship, without using Daoist magic or cultivation!"

"Alright!" Lin Duanshan shouted loudly, "Senior Sister An, give him another Flying Sword!"

An Zhisu, standing nearby, pointed her hand, and the Shuangjiang Sword shot out from her fingertip, stopping in front of Ling Yunpo.

Ling Yunpo extended his left hand, establishing a connection with the Shuangjiang Sword.

Under An Zhisu's control, he attached his divine sense to it without difficulty, successfully gaining command of the Shuangjiang Sword.

"Your right hand controls the Qingping Sword, what circulation route are you following?" Lin Duanshan asked loudly.

"Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian!" Ling Yunpo also answered in a clear voice, "Out of Jubgu, through Quchi, past Hegu, turning to Shangyang, connecting to the Qingping Sword!"

"Good!" Lin Duanshan said quickly, "Yin and Yang must be combined! Your left hand circulates energy, following the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian route, out of Tianchi, through Qze, past Laogong, turning to Zhongchong, try to control the Shuangjiang Sword!"

Ling Yunpo did as he was told, circulating his energy in order, and soon found that while controlling the Qingping Sword, he could also manipulate the Shuangjiang Sword as if it were an extension of his arm.

An Zhisu watched from the side, unable to help but reveal a joyful smile.

Her own dual-wielding Sword Control Technique circulated energy with her right arm following the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and her left arm following the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian.

However, when she tried to teach it to Ling Yunpo directly, he couldn't learn it.

Now it seemed that due to individual physical differences, the suitable circulation routes were indeed different.

"Dividing your attention to use two swords simultaneously is just the most basic of basics!" Lin Duanshan said coldly, "What's important is to integrate it into actual combat and use it proficiently!"

"Let me ask you first, since you started your training, what sword arts have you learned?"

"Naturally, it's the Shushan Sword Control Art and our sect's Qisha Sword Art!" Ling Yunpo replied immediately.

"Only Shushan sword arts?" Lin Duanshan said coldly, "We sword cultivators break through laws with our swords. There are myriad laws; if you only know one sword art, how can you break through them cleanly?"

A cold sneer spread across his face, and the look of disappointment in his eyes deepened:

"The dual-wielding sword technique of the Qisha Sword lineage is known for its completely different paths for the left and right swords. But you only know Shushan sword arts. Are you going to use the Shushan sword path for your left sword and the Shushan sword path for your right sword as well? You might as well tie the two swords together!"

"This level of skill is truly a disgrace to Senior Sister An's reputation. In the future, when you're out, don't you dare say you're her Junior Brother!"

"Lin Duanshan!" An Zhisu's eyebrows shot up as she shouted, "How we teach disciples on Green Snail Peak is none of your King Kong Peak's business! Junior Brother Ling calls you Senior Brother, and you're really taking liberties!"

"Yes, Senior Sister An." Lin Duanshan quickly plastered on a smile, then turned and glared at Ling Yunpo, "I'll spar with you using the Huashan Sword Technique first. Watch my sword path carefully!"

The Shushan Main Quest has officially begun!
